Nic Jones Documentary?

Any news on the release date of the Nic Jones documentary?
I recorded the Tv showing of it, but I had a mishap with my machine and it got wiped!
I will certainly buy the official release but - for now - could anyone out there send me a copy of the Tv programme?
I'll willing pay for any postage and time involved.

Nic's documentary has won Best Documentary in The Canadian International Film Festival. Huge congratulations to Michael Proudfoot & his dedicated Team at Proudfoot Productions. Richly deserved.

A extract from the documentary has popped up on Youtube.
I urge any Mudcatter to try to see the full programme.
BTW, Nigel Paterson's (the previous poster) appearance the documentary is excellent.

Hiya,

I got that, and digitised it. Even in DivX format, it's going to be a 52 MB file or so ... what I could do is to set up a Dropbox folder for you, and then transfer it that way. Email me at philipfaeunst@beltechservices.shetland.co.uk to set it up.

Philip, thanks for the offer, but I have managed to acquire a copy.
Cheers.

No problem - it boiled down to 338 MB after all, a bit big :o)

Recorded on a Humax Youview box..

Bastard box is locked down and prohibits any form of digital transfer or copying [for fair use personal archive purposes]!!!

Maybe someone somewhere knows of 'hobbyist' 3rd party 'jailbreak firmware upgrade' ???

Tunesmith, thank you for your kind words. Nic & I have been friends for over fifty years. He occupies a special place in my life, as does Julia, his wife.

Thank you, Guest, for the blue clicky. I can find no trace of the complete documentary on YT. If it DOES exist, another blue clicky would be much appreciated.

If its on YouTube perhaps it needs to be reported for copyright infringement? CJB

Does anyone know if Nic's getting anything out of this? I'd like to know before I'd consider purchasing it.

Nic advertises the DVD on his website, and it is going to be released on Topic Records (TSDVD590). Therefore I'm sure that Nic will get proper royalties.

Having spoken recently to Nic's Wife, Julia, I believe Reinhard is correct regarding royalties.

I've just got round to watching the initial BBC4 broadcast for the first time right now,
because I need to clear space on the Humax Youview hard drive.

I've never owned any Nic Jones LPs / CDs, and never heard any either.
Just the odd tracks on youtube.

This is a very belated listening experience.
Some aspects of his pre accident voice and guitar playing I'm immediately liking,
though there's something about it I'm not too sure about, that I'm not entirely connecting with..??

But I much prefer his performance at the comeback gig at the end of the program.
To my ears, the fragility in his voice now has a more engaging character & tone
than the self posessed confidence of his youth.

Is this gig [or any other recent recordings] available in it's entirity anywhere ?

I am now the proud owner of a signed copy of 'The Enigma of Nic Jones'. Impossible for me not to be biased, but I think the film is a sensitively shot testament to Nic the Musician; Nic the Family Man & Nic the creator of a body of work that has touched & continues to touch, many. Michael Proudfoot & his team have produced an award-winning documentary, of which they can be justly proud.
