Cigar Box Blues: The Makers of a Revolution

In this fascinating documentary, we meet the passionate makers and players of cigar box guitars. Many of these craftsmen and musicians are from post-industrial British towns and have created a self-identity through making these unique three-stringed instruments.

Born from the Blues, their simple, low cost, ‘no rules’ approach means anyone can have a go. Although the cigar box guitar has a long history in the USA, it has only recently become popular with musicians in the UK.

This film reveals how just three chords, played on their unique, DIY, instruments, hand-made from recycled materials, has revolutionised their lives.
