On September 23rd 2004, JWH played in Memphis as part of Cinema Memphis's inaugural event, a film festival dedicated to the movies of Powell and Pressburger, As part of the performance, he played a selection of songs from the movies of Powell and Pressburger. Since the chance of these songs being played again is slight, we thought we'd offer them to you here.

1. So Heavenly (Tommie Connor/Alan Gray) is "the theme song from A Matter Of Life And Death" (1946) starring David Niven and Kim Hunter. (The American title of this film was Stairway To Heaven.)

2. I Know Where I'm Going (Trad arr Harding), an "old song from County Antrim", is the theme song from I Know Where I'm Going! (1945) starring Wendy Hiller and Roger Livesey.
