Calm Before Storm

An intimate look at the working method of the two successful singer-songwriters Ilse DeLange and Waylon. We see the storm that erupts when it becomes known that The Common Linnets are participating in the Eurovision Song Contest.

In 1967 a group of six 17-year-old high school boys attending Phillips Academy Andover, went into a recording studio in Framingham, Massachusetts and made an album. They named themselves The Rising Storm and the album was called "Calm Before." The boys graduated, went on to college and to pursue careers having nothing to do with music. What happened when the one of the 500 hundred original copies of the album, turned up in Europe decades later and ignited a craze across the continent. This was unbeknownst to the band members, who had graduated from the finest colleges in the east and were all pursuing successful careers in law, medicine, and journalism. But the story continued to spread and the legend of The Rising Storm grew.

The programme also includes rare, seldom seen archive footage and photographs plus a host of other features which all together make for the finest film yet on this period of David Bowie's life and career.

A young man in his twenties leaves prison after a three-year sentence. He wants to start a new life in a place where he is not known and dreams only of a job, a wife and a family. He succeeds partially in fulfilling these dreams, but then runs into a conflict on a construction job between the corrupt boss and fellow workers secretly planning a strike. He becomes a pawn in one camp while remaining true to his ideals in the other. Filmed in 1976 and shelved for five years.
