One bonus of being stuck at home whilst living in the age of Youtube, Netflix, Prime Video, etc is the abundance of fantastic music documentaries at our finger tips. So I thought, as a lot of us seem to have a little more time on our hands at the minute, it might be a good idea to compile a list of some of the best of them.

So here’s twenty to get you started. From niche Undergound Dance Music docs (Maestro, Northern Disco Lights) to the blockbusters (Defiant Ones, 8 Days A Week, Whitney) to crazy, heart warming stories (Searching For Sugarman, The Story Of Anvil) and much more besides.

Should keep you busy for a while!

Happy lockdown everyone 🙂
