As part of health and well being week this film raises awareness about mental health in the music industry. We often think of musical heroes as assured and confidentt when sometimes this is anything but the truth. In the full glare of the media and with the lights shining on them people perform in front of a critical public. Sometimes I see television like Britain's Got talent or the X Factor as cruel at times and exploitative, or at best unwilling to accept any responsibility for the well being of its contestants.
I recently saw Bill Ryder Jones in concert and he is an exceptional talent. This film outlines some of the issues that he faced recently. A very brave and timely explanation that contributes to our understanding of anxiety and related health issues.
This was broadcast as part of Mental Health Awareness Week in May 2016 and guides anyone concerned about issues raised to the Mental Health charity MIND.
