Description:
This film explores the enduring career of Robert Lloyd, the enigmatic leader of the British band The Nightingales. Despite lacking conventional support, the working-class autodidact has maintained his role as a cult figure for five decades. The Nightingales, evolving from the 1977 punk band Prefects (who toured with The Clash), became renowned for their extensive recordings with John Peel. The film investigates the social and economic conditions that allowed outsider artists like Lloyd to thrive during the punk and post-punk eras, and examines how those conditions have shifted, making such a career path increasingly improbable today. Lloyd's story reflects the changing values surrounding social mobility and the importance of culture and music over the past fifty years.
