      How did I not know about this? I guess 13 years late is better than never!

      Thanks @ARNC for this recommendation. Amazing story in the shittiest of times. Great that they made a film of it.

        @Bridger Can't believe I've never heard of it either. Definitely watching it this weekend,and after just finishing How To Get To Heaven from Belfast,we're in full Ireland mode.

          @Bridger I nearly missed out. I wanted to watch something and it was there and not too long. The write up really undersold it and I didn’t have high expectations. So glad to be wrong!

            @ARNC @Bridger Haven’t finished the movie yet but,early on a guy comes into the record store and asks for the Electric Chairs,Fuck Off,and then recites the chorus …If you don’t want to fuck me…Fuck off. I was playing drums for Wayne/Jayne County in NYC when he wrote that song. At some point he decided to go to the UK and formed the Electric Chairs and recorded this song. It was always a show stopper when we played it in the states.

                @Jett129 I love this. I suspected you would have something interesting to say but I wasn’t expecting such a close connection.

                  @Jett129 that’s an unbelievable story. I used to use a punk club in Birmingham called Barbarella’s in the late 70’s and this was played regularly. Listening to it again brought me right back there. Thank you!

                            Pre-punk, saw Status Quo, 3 times at The Town Hall, even the 3rd time, they hadn’t worked out how to do more than 3 chords 😂

                                Excellent thread drift but, back to the movie. I thought it was OK. The trailer gave me the impression it was going to be to be more about the record store. At the end of the movie when he says… New York had the haircuts,and London had the trousers,but Belfast had a reason,I found myself yelling several choice obscenities at my TV screen.

                                  @Jett129 I can see how that line might not land well for you.
