A 1970 edition of Late Night Line Up following Gene Vincent on a four-day UK tour which started on 5 November 1969.

The film was selected by artist Jeremy Deller to be shown at his 24 Hour Rockshow festival on 28 March 2015. Deller says: "Rarely has such misery been dumped on an artist with a camera crew present as in this film, in which rock'n'roll pioneer Gene Vincent undertakes a humiliating tour of the UK in 1969.

"Nothing goes to plan as the singer is shuttled between rehearsal rooms, hotels, TV studios and gigs by Teddy Boy throwbacks who have kept the rock'n'roll flame alight in his absence.

"Though the musical landscape had changed beyond recognition since his heyday, the fast practices of managers and promoters remain - and they drive Vincent to distraction with their reluctance to pay a bona fide legend.

"The tour was curtailed by the combined efforts of the Inland Revenue, Vincent's ex-wife, and Don Arden, the notorious manager and enforcer."
