Executive Producers on the title are Wendy Laister (Duran Duran: Live at Wembley), Ian Brenchley (Caribbean Nights: The Bob Marley Story) and James Belsham.
Kaleidoscope Film Distribution has TVOD, EST, AVOD and SVOD available worldwide, subject to holdbacks in certain territories. In the UK, Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment will be releasing on TVOD/EST in November 2023 with AVOD & SVOD to follow in 2024.

Music films have a unique and built in audience and we are sure our partners globally are going to enjoy working with us on this project just as much as we will.”
