Even After All: Finley Quaye

EVEN AFTER ALL - A prophetic song reflecting the course that Finley Quaye's life would take, from its release when he was just 23, through to current circumstances as a 'fallen star', fading into obscurity.

In March 2024, Finley Ellington Quaye McGowan, with half-Scottish, half-Ghanaian roots, turned fifty and the documentary is an ode to the highs and lows of the life of a ‘gifted and troubled star’. The title poses the question of whether he, even after all he has been through, can rise again, and enter the industry anew, to scale global heights and provide the world, once again, with his musical genius.

Tracking Quaye down is intended to form part of the documentary and will take its cue from the music documentary 'Searching for Sugarman' (2012) Directed by Malik Bendjelloul.
