Neil Innes, writer/performer for the late lamented Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and "The Seventh Python" was given free rein by BBC2 to put many of the Bonzo's songs to video, along with some of his later solo works. Neil Innes performs these parody songs old and new, all set to specially-shot footage, and including special guest performers. Plotless, droll and surreal, Innes described the programme as "songs and pictures, about people and things". We will be screening two classic episodes from the solo project plus live performance by local musicians and artist, Jude Cowan Montague and her brother Martin Cowan will perform songs from the Rutles, Neil's fictional band based on the Beatles. The evening will also include an exclusive interview footage of Neil on Jude's Resonance FM radio show in 2018.With thanks to BFI National Archive that look after one of the largest and most important collections of film and television in the world.
