The ShadowMusic Web Community

Just checked via supplied link on Rob's excellent report on Amersham but the website does not appear to be up and running as it is not accepting registrations to enter site. Anyone else experienced this?

Hi Mike,
Yes, I made the same experience. I have emailed the admin of the Me & My Shadows website, maybe he can help. If I get a replay I will post it here.

Hello Everyone. Yes....it seems that everything is not quite ready just yet. There's news about the DVD on Billie's own website: http://www.billied.com/news.html - which directs you to a dedicated site: http://www.jetharrismovie.co.uk/ and Mark Windows also has his very own website with news of the DVD: http://www.markwindows.com/ HOWEVER......it seems that you can't yet actually place orders for the DVD (which I gather still has just a tiny amount of post - production work to do on it) as yet. I assume that Leo's Den might be stocking copies as & when it becomes available. So near yet so far....but it will (I'm sure) be available quite soon.

Best wishes,

Rob

Will the DVD include concert and/or TV footage of Jet's career, solo as well as with The Shadows?

Basically - no. 95% of the footage dates from 2007/8 - 2010. But (apart from when others are being interviewed) - Jet is onscreen virtually 100% of the time - walking around London, backstage at the Palladium, inside Rose Cottage (Isle Of Wight), walking along the cliff tops, photographing wildlife in the countryside, onstage with the Rapiers (briefly) and so on. There is a little (again quite brief) archive footage of him with the Fender VI from 1962 - but nothing that hasn't been seen before. More importantly - Jet's narrative is virtually continuous. It's a very personal film and it really does come across as though Jet is having a private conversation with the listener / viewer.

The rights to film or tv footage would cost an arm and a leg - as Bruce found out some years ago - and would have made the selling price of the DVD much higher.

As Rob has said, we will be stocking the DVD as soon as it is finished. Mark is still working on it and will let us know as soon as it is ready.
