One key factor in developing the popularity of the music in the UK and across Europe in the early 1960s was the success of the American Folk Blues Festival tours, organised by German promoters Horst Lippmann and Fritz Rau.
In May 1964, Granada Television broadcast Blues and Gospel Train, a programme featuring Muddy Waters, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and other musicians touring with the American Folk Blues Festival, at a railway station called "Chorltonville".
Material featuring Spann on DVD includes the Newport Jazz Festival (1960), the American Folk Blues Festival (1963), The Blues Masters (1966), and the Copenhagen Jazz Festival (1968).
