Saw this excellent documentary on Dr Feelgood at a special screening here in Barcelona earlier this evening with Director Julian Temple introducing the film.
Had a brief chat with JT afterwards and shook his hand while thanking him for making a great film on my favorite local band.Think he was a bit suprised to have someone from Westcliff in the audience.:)
My only criticism of the film would be that it ignores the role that Southend itself rather than just Canvey played in the sucess of the Feelgoods.Anyone who saw them at The Esplanade,Cricketers,Station Hotel, Westcliff or at the Kursaal knows how important these dates were before they broke into the London pub circuit and national scene.
Great to see scenes from the Wembley rock and roll festival( where they backed Heinz)and Hammersmith Odeon which I remember fondly.Also some nice scenes in The Grand with Lee Brilleaux and on the rock with Wilko et al,plus stuff from the 1953 flood which I'd never seen before.
Well worth catching.:clap:
