Portrait of a Soulman

After a few months working on the project I am pleased to show my new short documentary film. The film shows an intimate portrait of Emrys Baird, lead singer and guitarist of The Soul Immigrants. I followed Emrys playing in three different venues on his own and with his Trio. While most of the songs on the film are cover, Emrys is also a brilliant musician and songwriter, so please check his website http://www.thesoulimmigrants.com fto listen to some of his original songs.

 

The Soul Immigrants Trio

With an electrifying mix of cool soul guitar (Emrys Baird) ,  Hammond organ (Stu Ross) and  upbeat drums (David Bouet) The Soul Immigrants Trio captured the heart of the public present at The Loft on Saturday 10th May. Led by Emrys Baird the band unleashed a repertoire of killer classic soul songs  with a memorable performance by the group at this cool and cosy venue.
