Billy Connolly's Great American Trail

Billy opens the New York tartan day parade. He heads to Plymouth, Massachusetts where the pilgrims firs landed, and meets with the Native American tribe. Then to Boston and possibly the naughtiest group of nuns on the planet. From there Billy heads to Gloucester, the oldest sea port in America, home to blue whales, the most bizarre fisherman's tradition and the scene of the Perfect Storm.

We begin in Kearny, known as Little Glasgow, where Billy discovers it was the Scots who brought football to America. Then it's a pilgrimage to the factory that built the guitars for some of the biggest rockstars on the planet. It's the 50th anniversary of Woodstock this year and Billy ends with a clog dance in the Appalachian mountain range.

Billy begins deep in Virginia on the trail of bootleggers dealing in the illegal drink moonshine and the trail of the amazing woman who led hundreds of slaves to their freedom. We visit the home of the family that put country music on the map. Then it's to the backroom of the Elvis, Cher's and the Beatles designer and the hallowed stage where Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash performed.
