    Great film! Im a big big fan. I once went to an all night blues party in Hackney.....my ears are still ringing. I love what Jerry Dammers says about ska music in the 70's...how it was the only thing that made punk gigs bearable!

    Adam,

    regards

    The director has moved back to Australia and taken the project with him for the finishing touches. He's financing the film himself but needs a bit of backing to pay for the music and library footage before it can be properly released. His email is at the end of the description.

    I like editing too. This film was great to work on, the music, the personalities, the subjects, everything about it was appealing. But whatever the subject, the process of editing is always satisfying in itself.
