In January 2008, most of them, including Kev Carmody himself, came together at the State Theatre in Sydney for the stage production of Cannot But My Soul. By all reports, it was one of the most powerful and emotional concerts Sydney has ever heard. Mushroom Pictures was there to capture it on screen. On Saturday, October 4 at 10pm SBS will screen the documentary, featuring the concert, including rehearsal footage and interviews with the performers involved. Directed by feature film maker, Paul Goldman (Suburban Mayhem), and produced by Toby Creswell and Danielle Kelly (Mushroom Pictures, producers of Great Australian Albums), Cannot Buy My Soul captures not only the intensity and lyricism of Kev’s songs, but also the goodwill and respect of the artists who gathered to honour his work. The cast includes Paul Kelly, Missy Higgins, Tex Perkins, Clare Bowditch, The Pigram Brothers, The Herd, Dan Sultan, Sara Storer, Dan Kelly, Steve Kilbey, Last Kinection, Glenn Richards from Augie March, The Drones and Last Kinection.
