The story of Lew Lewis & The Twilight Trio is to be exclusively told to the rockabilly world by a Mayhem Rockabilly Productions documentary. The documentary is finally getting edited and looks set to launch live on internet screens by the end of February. Mayhem met with the lead singer of the band, Lewis Ellen, for an interview about his rise to fame on the European rockabilly circuit back in October, and the stories he had to tell certainly didn’t disappoint.

Lew, along with his band members Tom Hayes, Tony Wood and Nick Linton-Smith has enjoyed a fairly rapid success story since they started out just over 18 months ago. Going from playing in local bars and clubs in front of one man and his dog, to being selected to perform on the opening night at one of the world’s biggest rockabilly weekenders, The Rockabilly Rave.

I have known Lew for pretty much the same amount of time that he and The Twilights have been together and each time the band performs, they get better and better. Before we became Mayhem Rockabilly the company used to be called Essex Rockabilly Videos and we teamed up with Lew and his band to bring exclusive coverage of all his gigs along with acoustic jam sessions. Footage from all the early gigs will accompany the story as the documentary develops, as will the acoustic footage, which has been shot over the past 17 months.
