My Name is Ottilie
Soul singer Dana Masters traces the story of Ottilie Patterson from County Down, who for a dazzling few years in the late 1950s and early 1960s was a pioneer of British music. Why did Ottilie, who became the UK’s first female blues singer to achieve near pop status and perform with legends like Muddy Waters, Ella Fitzgerald and Sister Rosetta Tharpe, disappear from the story of British music?
