The Jan Akkerman band of 1983 included Hans Waterman from Solution, Cuby & the Blizzard bassist Dino Walcott and occasional keyboards player Mark van der Greer. Often said to be uncompromising and difficult we learn of Jan's determination to experiment and experience his world of music even at the expense of throwing away the trappings of commercial success.
This production originally shot for Channel 4 delivers a sharp insight into Akkerman's simultaneous love of the old as well a the new with performances of the Elizabethan lute music of John Downland through to his " in concert " virtuosity as the leading exponent of the guitar synthesiser.

The viewer is treated to an overview of a career that far from being on the wain, was still to provide many more glorious moments.
