Quite looking forward to seeing this next month.

 

Terri Hooley is a radical, rebel and music-lover in 1970s Belfast when the bloody conflict known as the Troubles shuts down his city. As all his friends take sides and take up arms, Terri opens a record shop on the most bombed half-mile in Europe and calls it Good Vibrations. Through it he discovers a compelling voice of resistance in the city's nascent underground punk scenes. Galvanising the young musicians into action, he becomes the unlikely leader of a motley band of kids and punks who join him in his mission to create a new community, an alternative Ulster, to bring his city back to life.

Looks good, love films set around record shops (and just record shops really).

 

Just back from seeing this in the cinema. Absolutely cracking film about the 'Godfather of Punk' Terri Hooley and the start of the punk scene in Northern Ireland. If if you're not into punk music, or a fan of Northern Irish history, it's a rather enjoyable films. I'm just glad they didn't make the film entirely about the troubles, although it is reflected throughout.

:P

 

I'm looking forward to seeing it next week, when our local independent starts to screen it.

I guess I got a little bit overexcited. I really hope that its release will see this song jump into the chart for the first time, but I'm probably overly optimistic:
