Four Strings Good is a feature documentary celebrating a musical life well lived, capturing a live concert celebrating the music and life of multi-instrumentalist, producer and renowned session musician Mo Foster (1944-2023). Featuring performances by Ray Russell, Simon Phillips, Tony Hymas, Judie Tzuke, Deborah Bonham, Jimmy Helms, Kim Goody, Moon Williams, Phil Hilborne and others, the event captured his enduring influence, musical legacy and great humour. A revered figure in the London music scene, Foster played with artists including Jeff Beck, Gil Evans, Phil Collins, Gerry Rafferty, Joan Armatrading and Gary Moore. Fellow session legend Ray Russell, who shared the stage with Foster in the esteemed RMS band, took the initiative to commemorate his friend’s legacy via this musical evening. Four Strings Good captures that event, along with footage of interviews and talks that Foster hosted.
