The Guest Stars ON FILM, IN CONVERSATION and LIVE PERFORMANCE

Fascinating watching films of the Guest Stars from the 1980’s and before. Also amazing that there wasn’t a single clip of this great band on You Tube – until now..

Some wonderful film and interviews from Germany, USA and of course England. Being interviewed by Selina Scott on breakfast TV at 6.30am. We’ll be showing a great selection and discussing it on Saturday November 17 at the London Jazz Festival. Plus we’ll be playing live together in the second set.

Globe trotting womens jazz /latin group of the 1980’s captured live on film at the height of their touring. Early footage from 1977, shows their first meeting plus live and behind the scenes film clips  and interviews from their own archives.
