Director Toby L on the Blur film: To The End is an intimate glimpse into relationships, motivation and mortality, the sights and sounds of long term friendship unearthing a fresh new conquest to overcome together. On the subject of capturing a band that has been so well documented, we sat down at the start of the project and agreed that the film had to tell a new story, be shot entirely on location, and crucially, be honest. In To The End, that's what I hope people can see, and most importantly, feel. Working with blur on this documentary, over the past year has been the honour of a lifetime. They were the first band I ever saw - when I was 10 - at Wembley Arena. To consider that a little over 25 years later, I'd be making a film with the band that changed my entire world view on art, culture and music, remains utterly surreal. I hope that through watching it people feel a little closer to this incredible group of artists and friends, and have a richer insight for a life spent being in a band.

blur: To The End - A New Documentary Film - Official Trailer [x]

A New Documentary Film. In UK and Irish cinemas from July 19. Book tickets now at https://www.blur.co.uk/ A new feature-length documentary depicting the extraordinary and emotional return of blur, captured during the year in which they made a surprise return with their first record in 8 years, the critically acclaimed #1 album ‘The Ballad of Darren’. blur: To The End follows the unique relationship of four friends - and bandmates of three decades - Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree as they came together in early 2023 to record new songs ahead of their sold-out, first ever shows at London’s Wembley Stadium in July last summer. Featuring performances of their most iconic, much-loved songs, footage of the band in the studio and life on the road, blur: To The End is an intimate moment in time with this most enduring of English bands, who have been at the heart of British cultural life and influence for over three decades.

Bumped into Damon Albarn and had just bought a birthday card for my wee brother Was on the tube in London after buying the card. It was the middle of a weekday on the Hammersmith and City Line so very quiet in my carriage. Someone was drumming with a pencil on a notepad and it was winding me up. I looked up to see who was doing it and it was Damon. Realised I had a golden opportunity to get him to sign the card. Wee brother is a big fan. I approached him after he got out at Great Portland Street and he couldn’t have been nicer about it.
