Responding to the release of A Man in A Hurry, arthouse cinemas are mounting special presentations far beyond Tubby Hayes' Swinging Sixties Soho stomping ground. 

Narrated by The Office actor Martin Freeman, directed by Lee Cogswell, and produced by Mark Baxter and Sam Pattinson, the documentary is both a labour of love and a treasure trove of visual memorabilia and remembrances from a host of expert figures including Hayes’ biographer Simon Spillett as well as musical colleagues and family members including Tubby’s son Richard. With poke-your-eye-out visuals and good sound, some of the Hayes playing is magnificent and the rare period footage captured on the DVD simply gleams and seduces. An early-January 2016 QFT show in Belfast is one of the next screenings in the pipeline. More details are here
