Kevin - Filmmaker
I've wanted to make a film about Glastonbury for more than forty years.
The first time I heard Judge’s rock 'n' roll Requiem Mass, it felt like cinema. I found his music vast and emotional and thought it might be the perfect soundtrack.
I hope the film honours Judge’s extraordinary music — and serves as a celebration of everything this remarkable town stands for.
Judge - Composer
I composed the Requiem Mass in my head back in 1979, at the age of 25, without being able to read music or write a score.
With help from arranger Michael Brand, the music came to life, but it wasn’t recorded until 2013—on little more than love and savings.
Now living near Glastonbury, I continue to be inspired by the town’s vibrant and extraordinary spirit, so beautifully captured in Kevin’s film.
A Glastonbury Tale
The full film is not available to be streamed yet as it is currently on the Film Festival circuit and I'm working hard to promote it. In the meantime, let me know (via the Contact Tab) if you'd like a local screening.
