A chronicle of Terri Hooley's life, a record-store owner instrumental in developing Belfast's punk-rock scene, this story of the "godfather of punk" is told with plenty of groovy style to match the 1970s setting, mixing the music with colourful locations and lively characters. It's inspiring stuff, showing the community-building power of music in an environment of fear and ever-present violence, creating a rousing tale of rock 'n' roll rebellion that shows how one man's black-vinyl passions ended up socking it to The Man.

"Joyous, but with a serious edge." - Little White Lies

"An impassioned, funny and monumentally likeable myth-making comedy." - Time Out
"Richard Dormer is immensely likeable as Hooley, and Karl Johnson brings a dour conviction to his father, an elderly disillusioned communist who finds spiritual victory in electoral defeat." - The Observer
