It's October, and everyone appears to be doing horror movies, so I've gone for something different. I wanted to create content to do with Black History Month....but I'm a white middle aged guy from Scotland, so while I may not be the best person to talk about Black History, I'm still going to talk about it because it's a vital conversation.
I wondered how to get the ball rolling, and lets be honest, who doesn't like music?. Steve Wonder, Nina Simone, Gladys Knight & the Pips? All great performers, great musicians, and all at the 1969 Harlem Culture Festival. A festival that was filmed, then forgotten about, until this year.
I talk a little bit about the politics, the fashion, the music, and how the festival was organised. I'll admit I don't think I did a great job, I was a bit nervous, but this is a great documentary for any music lover, and deserves to be seen, so put away the chainsaws and horror masks, and enjoy some music for your soul!!
