It is the story of the Kinks and has special relevance because when Jane was a teenager in Muswell Hill she knew Ray and Dave Davies. I also had <a href="https://youtu.be/8-tNGDWWG60" target="_blank">The Kinks - Days</a> at her funeral.

The show was brilliant - vibrant and full of energy. It captured the atmosphere of the mid 60s when the Kinks were working their way to fame. And the performers were excellent musicians as well as good actors. If you're old enough to remember the Kinks then this is a show not to be missed.
