In February 1982, guitarist and singer Nic Jones was a star of English folk music: his record, Penguin Eggs, was a bestseller - to this day many still believe it to be one of the best acoustic records ever produced. But Nic’s life was about to change forever. Driving back from a gig in Glossop, Derbyshire, a near-fatal car accident ended his career. Nic’s legacy has continued to inspire each generation of folk players since that fateful night in 1982 - singers like Eliza Carthy, Jim Moray, Anaïs Mitchell, Martin Simpson, Ashley Hutchings and Chris Wood testify to Nic’s influence on their music, even Bob Dylan covered Nic’s iconic track Canadee-i-o. In 2012 Nic returned to the stage for his first proper gigs in 30 years; accompanied by his son on guitar he wowed audiences once again. This film tells the story of his legend and his return to the stage.
