FLAT OUT ROCK AND ROLL, 110%,
PEOPLE GOING NUTS, RIOTS,
ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF,
IT FELT NATURAL TO US
Ian Hunter
The Ballad of Mott The Hoople is a feature length documentary that tells the story of one of England’s greatest and most cherished rock ‘n’ roll bands.
The Ballad of Mott The Hoople brings the band’s story to life through a stunning combination of rare and unseen archive footage, the band’s magnificent music and the testimony of band members Ian Hunter,
Mick Ralphs, Verden Allen, Dale ‘Buffin’ Griffin, Ariel Bender and Morgan Fisher, plus numerous other associates and witnesses – including Mick Jones of The Clash and Queen’s Roger Taylor.
Filming started back in early 2008, in and around the bands former home town of Hereford and was ongoing periodically over the next couple of years - culminating with the bands triumphant reunion shows at the Hammersmith Apollo in October 2009.
The Film premiered at the London Film Festival in October 2010 and in 2011 at the Chicago International Movies & Music Festival and the New York Film Festival in the US.
With sleeve notes written by MORRISSEY, the DVD was released in the UK, Europe & North America in autumn 2011. A Japanese release is scheduled for summer 2012.
