Product Description
Babymother (Blu-ray) Directed by Julian Henriques
Anita's (Anjela Smith, Eastenders) got style, energy and attitude – her ambition is to become the local dancehall diva. Before she can triumph with her 'rude girl' friends deejaying her lyrics on stage, she has to prove herself – and she has some growing up to do along the way. Bringing up two kids on a tough estate is no easy matter, nor are her relationships with her mother, sister, and her babyfather Byron (Wil Johnson, Outlander) – a singer with his own ambitions. Featuring music by Beres Hammond, Carroll Thompson and Cinderella this 90s gem stars familiar faces from stage and screen including Corinne Skinner-Carter (Burning an Illusion, Pressure) as Anita's mum and Don Warrington (Rising Damp, Death in Paradise) as ruthless promoter Luther. Babymother is released here for the first time on Blu-ray, newly remastered in 2K by the BFI.

Not the easiest record to source on vinyl but a real gem, received promptly, well packaged and in perfect condition.
Justin Adams is one of the unsung heroes among UK guitarists and cross-cultural ambassadors, committed to working with great musicians across West Africa, the Maghreb and southern Europe. On this record he joins the remarkable Mauro Durante of Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino to showcase a UK/Puglia blend with a sharp political edge. The title track Still Moving bears witness to the trauma of refugees seeking shelter that few here can imagine and too few even care to think about.
Full credit to Justin Adams, a wonderful musician with a true grasp of what solidarity means. His world view crosses musical borders and calls for a better future for all humanity.
