Jeff Beck 1960s film trailer launched

Jeff Beck’s formative era is the subject of a two-hour documentary that’s being trailed with a five-minute clip.

Entitled A Man For All Seasons: Jeff Beck In The 1960s, the title will be released on DVD soon and it’s available for pre-order now.

It features performance footage and new interviews with Yardbirds bandmates Jim McCarty and Chris Dreja along with collaborators, management and journalists. They discuss his early influences, band work, his brief solo pop career and the first incarnation of the Jeff Beck Group, featuring Rod Stewart and Ron Wood.

Billed as “the first documentary to singularly focus on Beck’s career” it’s described as “a legitimate tribute and enthralling history.”

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
