Shove It! The Story Of Xero Slingsby

Just One More Shove!

The ‘Shove It’ documentary is the story of Xero Slingsby.

Matthew Coe, aka Xero Slingsby was an extraordinary jazz musician.  He’s been compared to John Coltrane and Jimi Hendrix – but his style was always very much his own.  His is a story abut ideas, performance, invented instruments, 47 arrests for busking yet busking to make a living.  It’s an inspiring story of creativity in the face of limited means, circumstances, overly officious laws and, ultimately, cancer.
