The Big Trip to the USA

on BBC Two England

The last of three programmes following intrepid globetrotters as they travel the world on shoestring budgets.
Three friends from Glasgow begin their musically-inspired journey through the United States in Miami, where they sample salsa as well as hot beaches and steamy nightclubs.
After a treacherous Greyhound bus journey they arrive in New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz and from there they travel west into Cajun Country. Then the trio travel north to Memphis where they seek out Elvis and cut their own disc at the legendary Sun Studios.
Their quest includes a visit to country music's capital, Nashville, followed by a ride on the railway up to Chicago before ending their trip in New York City.
