Remake of the 1985 documentary ‘The Legend’ by filmmaker and cameraman Willem van der Linde about Harry Muskee, frontman of the band Cuby & Blizzards.

“The Legend” is a story about the importance of Harry Muskee and the music of Cuby & Blizzards in the nostalgia for the countryside. In ‘The Legend Plus’ there is almost 30 minutes of extra film material that did not make it to the TV version at the time. Followed by a concert by Erwin Java (Cuby & Blizzards).

Cuby & Blizzards were a Dutch blues group, founded in 1964 by vocalist Harry Muskee and guitarist Eelco Gelling. During the 1960s, the band’s mixture of sound, drawing upon a variety of genres which included blues and rock and roll gave them a pioneering sound which was completely different from any other Dutch band in the same period.

Among the best known songs released by the band were “Another Day, Another Road”, “Distant Smile”, “Window of My Eyes” and “Appleknockers Flophouse”.
