I met Nadia in 1989 and I have remained friends with her. I endorse everything Errol Lloyd says. Nadia is a wonderful person. I have written about her acting career in my book Black in the British Frame - The Black Experience in British Film and Television (Continuum, 2001), but it saddens me that her music is not available on CD. I treasure an audio cassette I have of one of her brilliant 1960s record albums. In 2007 I screened 'Freedom Road' (1964) at the National Portrait Gallery. This award-winning television music documentary featured Nadia, Cy Grant and Cleo Laine. In 2008 I attended the opening of the Imperial War Museum's 'War to Windrush' exhibition and Nadia was there.
