Stu-khag Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Hey people. Next Friday is good friday. I've dubbed it good times Friday (geddit?) An excellent doc on Nile Rodgers is on BBC 4 at 9pm March 29th. Beautifully shot and a great story squeezed into 1 hour. There's a short clip on the programme page if ya fancy seeing it. some nice bits on Bernard also.

Gunsfreddy2003 Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Just set the box to record it - thank you! Quote
Kiwi Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 I've seen the doc, its really good. He's playing in London at the end of July. Anyone feel like going to see him? Quote
Thunderthumbs Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Will be recording that. Cheers for the heads up. Quote

Stu-khag Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 It transpires the whole evening's output is BBC Wales! I'd really reccomend the Bowie doc on after Nile. 1915 Mahler's 1st Symphony with Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01174dh"]http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01174dh[/url] 2100 Nile Rodgers: The Hitmaker [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01rk2tm"]http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01rk2tm[/url] 2200 David Bowie & the story of Ziggy Stardust [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01k0y0n"]http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01k0y0n[/url] 2300 The Genius of David Bowie [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01k0y0q"]http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01k0y0q[/url] Quote
wombatboter Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Thanks for the reminder...I always enjoy BBC4 around here in Belgium...some great documentaries have passed the review... Quote
uncle psychosis Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Nile Rodgers is one of my all-time heroes, and I say that even as someone that doesn't actually like all of his music. On my Virgin box the tagline for the documentary is "Nile Rodgers was raised by heroin addicts and has sold 100 million records". Truly staggering. Quote
ezbass Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 So glad that it was more like a documentary about Rogers and Edwards, although it made me sad that BE's genius was cut short by disease. I liked Niles' comment about, "Waking up the right side of the dirt." brilliant. Niles produced Paul Young's Other Voices album; his rhythm guitar at the end of Little Bit Of Love is the kind of playing that makes other guitarists sweat pools of jealousy. Quote
Lozz196 Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Was a great programme, and what a catalogue of work, amazing. Quote
Lynottfan Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Was a great program, stuff about Bernard always make me sad to, he is the reason I play a Stingray, my perfect combination would be cool groove of Nard, swagger of Lynott and the attitude of JJ, in fact thats my style lol. Nile is one funky mofo and I am glad he survived, its funny but I never think of Chic as disco, to me they were a Cooking funky soul jazzy rock band thang, infact they used to play The boys are back in town by Lizzy chic style! Quote
uncle psychosis Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 If you haven't done so already, buy Nile's autobiography. The documentary missed out a lot of the *really* interesting bits. Really enjoyed it, got it recorded and will probably watch it again this week! Quote
hollywoodrox Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 it was good last night, I got his biog for xmas, also worth a listen is the radio show they did on him, I think it was posted about on here once Quote
Bassic Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 What must be like to have all that talent and then bump into a awesome bassist in Bernard Edwards. Its not fair when they make it look so easy Quote
