When we met Bruce Lacey we were entranced 鈥� a modern day magus in brightly coloured clothesJeremy Deller and Nick Abrahams
He has also been celebrated in song by the Fairport Convention and been made the subject of a documentary by Ken Russell. He played George Harrison鈥檚 gardener in the Beatles movie Help! and created props for The Goons.
Known for his irreverent humour and outspoken views, Lacey figured prominently on London鈥檚 counter-culture scene in the 1960s and, aged 87, he remains just as creative today.
In this fascinating documentary, Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller and filmmaker Nick Abrahams reveal Bruce Lacey and his work in all its uplifting and inspiring glory.
Jeremy Deller and Nick Abrahams joined us for a special Q&A after the screening, hosted by Francine Stock, presenter of Radio 4's .
