I hope you are ready for 'Part TWO' of this week's @EchoChamberFP cause we didn't hold back!!!
Last week you got three great conversations, now that's not happening, HOWEVER, you do get to hear from a bright new voice in the music documentary game, who has dropped pure gold on us with his feature length debut! We look at the film, THEN get to hear about the whole process of telling an untold, little known (in the UK) story!
'Getting it Back: The Story of Cymande' is the feature directorial debut from Tim MacKenzie-Smith, which he also wrote. The story of British band Cymande. Celebrated in the US, but facing indifference in the UK, they sadly disbanded too soon but their influence was significant, prompting their return some 40 years later
