After reading Eric Clapton’s Autobiography it is clear that his passion for blues would have led him towards a career based around this genre of music. John Mayall may well have made an influence as he did on so many musicians who passed through his band over the years but this is not to say that without John or Alexis the British blues movement would not have happened. It clearly would have but with subtle differences. To draw on a similar example, it would be like saying commercial radio in the UK would not have happened if it was not for the pirate radio ships of the 60’s.
