The Ballad of Mott The Hoople (15)

Directors: Chris Hall, Mike Kerry
Starring: Mott the Hoople, David Bowie
UK, 2010, 1 hour 45 mins

‘The rock’n’roll circus is in town...’, but no other rock doc starts with pictures of High Town and Hereford United’s dressing room in the 60s! The story of the rise and fall of Hereford’s most famous rock band is enlivened by dazzling raconteur, Ian Hunter’s sharp insights into the ups and downs of rock stardom, and some great 70s footage of Mott in their pomp that shows what a fabulous live band they were. There’s also a young, starry-eyed David Bowie generously giving them All The Young Dudes to record so giving a new lease of life to a band on the point of collapse. All the interviewees here are open and fascinating, and directors, Chris Hall and Mike Kerry, present their story with the passion and affection of genuine fans.
