Goddess of Slide: The Forgotten Story of Ellen McIlwaine
Synopsis
Celebrates the legendary – and largely forgotten – Canadian musician who fought for her right to play the slide guitar, a male-dominated instrument in a male-dominated world.

But it’s the six magical nights that Ellen ignited the stage with Jimi Hendrix that changed the course of her life.
