Last call for the documentary, or ‘rockumentary’ if you will, that Michael Cumming (Brass Eye, Toast) and I (BSB’s Up Yer News!) have made ourselves about Birmingham punk and Birmingham public art, King Rocker.
It’s on tomorrow night. You will have to watch this go out in real time, or record it somehow, as we don’t know where it will pop up next, and its cinema tour is deferred.
So instead of going to the pub on Saturday night… Oh.
There has been amazing advanced word. I haven’t experienced anything like it since the early stages of Jerry Springer The Opera twenty years ago.
And to think, it’s only on TV because of Covid anyway!
Thanks to everyone who has supported us and if you were one of the crowdfunders your actual human name will be there at the end for all to see.

If it helps, here’s a bostin’ Spotify ™ ® playlist I did for Giglist, which serves as a primer to the film, but if you like any of the music please buy a hard copy so the bands see some £s. – https://giglist.com/buzz/article/stewart-lees-guide-nightingales
And here’s one put together by the film producers Fire https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3gvwhk47NSFDredoP1tnas?si=Wv6wthm5SVCsIXaWMbosKw
And here’s one put together as a guide for Adam Buxton before he interviewed me about the film.
Son Of God’s Mate is superb but for some reason the version on Spotify is 25% slower than the original vinyl, so that’s why it sounds weird. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1g1BOKAxemcl63gV4stneI
