Mike Kerry and Chris Hall of Start Productions are working on a documentary about Guy Stevens, pictured, whose taste in music was central to the lasting appeal of the UK Sue Label, with which he will ever be associated.
The team, who have already produced highly commended documentaries, has extensive interview footage about Guy including interviews with his late wife Diane. Their previous documentaries focused on the American 1960s acid rock group Love and the British rock band Mott The Hoople, a film which the BBC has broadcast. Their films have been shown at film festivals and in independent cinemas.
Mike explains: “Chris and I have wanted to make a film on Guy for some time now. From his early days DJ-ing at “The Scene” and the influence he had there, the incredible output of music whilst heading up Sue Records, working for Island and helping form Mott The Hoople, right through to “London Calling”. It’s an incredible story, with some of the very best music. As a film, it absolutely just needs to be told.”
The team is now appealing for the wider community of Sue Records UK fans to help. Do you have any stories about Guy? Do you have any Sue memorabilia, archive press cuttings, photos and promotions? If you can, please email Mike Kerry.
