Overview: In 1982, folk musician Nic Jones was at the peak of his career, but driving home from a gig one night a near-fatal car crash changed his life forever. Almost every bone in his body was broken and neurological damage meant that he would never play his guitar in front of an audience again.

The concerts were a resounding success and for his old and new fans, a moving comeback for their musical hero.
