I personally cannot wait to experience this documentary for myself - Nicky Hopkins was such an unsung hero & a musicians' musician, it was high time a film was made about him!

I've been following this project with great interest, and I'm very glad it's finally made its way to public distribution.

From what I understand, due to copyright reasons, they cannot play every track they would've wanted to showcase from Nicky's long career... but I am looking forward to the contemporaries' interviews of him, anyway. Everyone seems to remember him with great enthusiasm and gratitude - as they should!

El mundo de la música pop es a veces un poco el mundo al revés: artistas que no deberían ser conocidos lo son, y otros que lo deberían ser más, son perfectos desconocidos para el gran público. Sobre todo si se trata de músicos de estudio, músicos de caras anónimas para un público necesitado de estrellas, de ídolos con caras bien definidas. Un caso de auténtica injusticia, pero ¿quién dijo que el mundo es justo? Son los músicos que se esconden en los créditos de grabación de muchos discos, parecen casi invisibles, menos para los buenos aficionados que sí
