Virus Called The Blues was a 30 minute documentary spoof based on a day in the life of blues & jazz guitarist/songwriter Billy Jenkins and his band The Blues Collective. The documentary was produced, directed by Craig Duncan who met Billy on the set of the BBC Two music series 'Jazz 606' in the mid nineties (filmed at the famous Jazz Venue 606 Club). It features serious interviews and spoof action, plus actual performance from the band at The Blue Elephant Theatre, Camberwell, South-east London. Also visible in the audience is stand up comedian Stewart Lee, a long-time friend of Jenkins.
