Some early press about the documentary in online Prog, with apparently a full review in the next actual edition.
Cool!
Thank you Prog magazine.

New Solstice documentary New Light accompanies the band's Return To Cropredy release

02/10/2024

After 14 years of being an animation only company, Studio 43 are excited to announce their first live-action documentary feature.

SOLSTICE: NEW LIGHT
77 mins
Charting the life and times of UK band Solstice. From their emergence in the early 80’s as one of the leading lights of the so called 'progressive rock revival', through an evolving line up to the revitalised band of 2024. With two critically acclaimed albums since 2020 and a third on the way, they have re-established themselves as a force to be reckoned with, something their live shows clearly demonstrate.

"The Band is on fire. (Andy) Glass’s playing is astounding…A life affirming, elegant and exciting celebration" says Prog Magazine.

Over 18 months, Shaun Blake interviewed the band and various luminaries of the Prog rock scene including Steven Wilson, Gregory Spawton, Jerry Ewing and Clive Bunker. What has emerged is an inspiring and compelling story of a gifted musician who never gave up, finding new energy in the depths of a national lock down to galvanise a band into the best version of itself in 40 years.

The life and times of a progressive band 1980 – 2024.

Produced by Shaun Blake, Tim Fancourt, Chris Scott and Andy Glass.
Directed by Shaun Blake.

Oh and make no mistake, Studio43 still do animation!

See a short trailer for the documentary below. It is being released on Blu-ray in November along with Solstice's live concert film of their appearance at Cropredy Festival in 2023.
