Billy Jenkins, a renowned British Blues musician, has been playing his music across the UK and internationally since the 1970s. With the decline of traditional music sales and following a period looking after his father-in-law, a dementia sufferer, Billy decided to go 'where the smart money is' training to become a Humanist funeral officiant with the British Humanist Association. The film starts as a biographical portrayal of Billy's formative years and career spanning four decades. Weaving some solos and recorded tracks in the narrative, the documentary provides the viewer with a rare and intimate insight of his role as a humanist officiant, when on Monday 19th April 2010 Billy officiates the funeral of 39 year-old stand-up comedian Karl Edric Manson. The film juxtaposes Billy Jenkins love of music, his thoughts on life and death and his newer role as Blues preacher in local chapels and crematoria.
