WHAT WE DID

After 14 years of being an animation only company, Studio 43 are proud to present their first live-action documentary feature.

SOLSTICE: NEW LIGHT  77 mins

Charting the life and times of UK band Solstice. From their emergence in the early 80’s as one of the leading lights of the so called  'progressive rock revival', through an evolving line up to the revitalised band of 2024. With 2 critically acclaimed albums since 2020 and a third on the way, they have re-established themselves as a force to be reckoned with, something their live shows clearly demonstrate. "The Band is on fire. (Andy) Glass’s playing is astounding…A life affirming, elegant and exciting celebration" says Prog Magazine.

 Over 18 months, Shaun Blake interviewed the band and various luminaries of the Prog rock scene and what has emerged is an inspiring and compelling story of a gifted musician who never gave up, finding new energy in the depths of a national lock down to galvanise a band into the best version of itself in 40 years.

 The life and times of a progressive band 1980 – 2024.

Produced by Shaun Blake, Tim Fancourt, Chris Scott and Andy Glass.
