Family Meeting tells a unique story about people behind music. The film was shot during the fall 2006, in and around the 20th anniversary concert of the Wentus Blues Band, also on their home turf in Ostrobotnia, Finland. It's a delicious mash-up of backstage life and passionate stage performances.

The film features an impressive line-up of rock and blues legends, such as Eddie Kirkland and Louisiana Red, ex-Rolling Stone Mick Taylor, Kim Wilson from the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Omar Dykes from Omar & The Howlers, Barrence Whitfield -- lead singer of The Savages, Sven Zetterberg and Clas Yngström from Sweden, Eric Bibb, plus Lazy Lester from the States, deep south. All of the above-mentioned guests have a long history with the Wentus Blues Band. The film is about the family meeting of these musicians, where cotton and potato fields, joy, tolerance, and above all the immortal, shared moments within the Blues are intertwined.

Olipa hienoa kuunneltavaa ja katsottavaa tuo FamilyMeeting kun sen aivan vahingossa satuin näkemään FST:ltä - olin nimittäin jo menossa nukkumaan ja selailin kanavia etsiessäni jotain kelvollista katseltavaa ja sitten löysin TÄMÄN... Ei tehnyt enää mieli mennä nukkumaan vaan oli katsottava se loppuun. UPEAT SOUNDIT & kappaleet, äänet, esiintyjät... NAUTINNOLLISTA! :)

This looks like it would be a very good movie - if I had any idea who these people were.
