Today we have been filming original Fairport and Trader Horne vocalist Judy Dyble for the on-going Davy Graham documentary ‘The Man With The Guitar’. Her memories of the early era are fascinating, the London clubs and the people you met, some of whom went on to be very famous (although you would not have know…

What a week – we have finally managed to film Eric for our film about Pete Brown, ‘White Rooms and Imaginary Westerns’ and he was utterly charming. He talked at length about the Cream years and the song writing, what songs he still likes and why, what happened and with whom. What he thought of Ginger and…
