Band of Thieves background

Band of Thieves

A talented jazz band, formed by former inmates, initially soars to success with their charismatic leader Acker Bilk, but ultimately crumbles under the weight of their old vices, reverting back to a life of crime.

A group of musicians, led by Acker Bilk, form a jazz band while incarcerated, and after their release, they perform a series of concerts, only to eventually return to their old ways, much to the pleasure of their jazz-loving governor.
