Peter Green Splinter Group

The Peter Green Splinter Group were a blues band formed in 1996, fronted by guitarist and singer Peter Green.

Green was the leader of Fleetwood Mac until 1970. He suffered a mental breakdown during the 1970s and was rehabilitated with the aid of Nigel Watson, Cozy Powell and other friends. He subsequently began touring and recording with the Splinter Group and released a series of albums. The group was disbanded in early 2004 with Green's departure from the group – an upcoming tour was cancelled, as was the planned release of a new album.
