and sure seen some other showings highlighted

though myself would say the highlighting of the uk showing is worthwhile

Looks good - just bought tickets. Not been to the O2 yet so looking forward to it.

Anyone confirm any other UK showings please?

I think the purpose of the film appearing at the Sundance London Film Festival is an attempt to get proper distribution for the film.

In the film world festivals have a special legal status, where the rights paid for music clearances etc is often less than if they go on general distribution. So hopefully Sundance London will lead to it being on all over the country at a later stage.

I was out with Andy Hackett last night and he mentioned George Jones had sadly passed away. BTW Andy mentioned he may come along tonight after the Dexy's gig. see you later.

Wow - just seen this fantastic film. If you get the chance to see it, watch it as you will not be disappointed. Right off to 99p Soul.

Was really impressed with the film, which is one of the best music documentaries I have ever seen. Really gets to the heart of Rick Hall's character.

The good news is that the film is getting UK cinema distribution, and should be showing in good independents this autumn.

To add to the above, it was actually Soul Source that flagged up the film for me back in January. If you've got time, I wrote a blog about the film after I saw it on Friday. It was a total education for me really and, like Dean, I thought it was one of the best music docs that I've seen. You can read the blog at www.lawrence556.wordpress.com. Be gentle, as I don't usually write up reviews etc.

Couple of pics of me and Tats at Fame and Muscle Shoals Sound, Jackson Highway, a few years ago.

Shot dozens of photographs and an hour or two of video there.

Just the coolest place on earth.

upcoming uk showing dates been passed on here

one preview showing next week in Sheffield and then more after a couple of weeks

Good film this, but not quite as good as I'd hoped it would be. Lagged a bit in places and a bit too much of the Stones for my liking.

Not as good as Standing In The Shadows, but worth a watch.   

OPENS CURZON MAYFAIR 25 OCT.
