Doc'n Roll Film Festival presents the London premiere + Q&A with director Nathan Cunningham, and Gaz Stanley.
Litter-picker Gaz Stanley starts a busking band with a gaggle of local misfits; homeless musician Buddy Awful, old Tommy ‘Trouble’ Piggot, Chinese drummer Martin ‘Busterabcat’ Cheang, and "Street dancer" Ray Boddington. Through their own trials and tribulations, they bring joy to the people of Manchester with their unique, scratchy, rock’n’roll, street performances. But they dream of more than singing and dancing in the rain; Gaz sets out to take his brotherhood of mischief to the big stage with hilarious consequences. The band’s ambitious journey is met with nothing but a procession of epic failures. Through some divine intervention, the band gets an offer to perform at a big festival on the same bill as their idol, Noel Gallagher. Proving that even a bunch of old timers can have their moment in the limelight. Both hilarious and heartbreaking, this is a story of the last of a dying breed of Mancunians.
Doc'n Roll Film Festival 9th London edition returns to celebrate music subcultures by providing a unique platform to support creative, compelling and unforgettable documentaries that celebrate the performers, labels, scenes, and stories.
