Jail Guitar Doors
Posted by Hot Cider on 20 February 2010 - 4:08pm.
Just a quick heads-up for a short tour which Billy Bragg has started around some independent cinemas, showing Breaking Rocks the documentary about the Jail Guitar Doors initiative he set up. The scheme aims to supply prison inmates with guitars to help with their rehabilitation, and the film shows its formation with help from Mick Jones and Wayne Kramer amongst others.
The tour has the film, a Q and A session with Billy and the films director, sets by 2 ex-inmates who took part in the scheme, and finishes with a short set by the Bard himself. I saw the show in Newcastle last night and found the film and performances inspirational. Well worth your support.
