Sadly not!
But directed by, starring and music by Irish lads so…

Ohhh it’s the ‘inspired by’ Frank Sidebottom one, innit. Good shout.

Gonna start that F&W screenplay right now.

Spinal Tap

Eden - not sure how well known it is, I caught it on the off chance and loved it, set in the French House scene of the 90’s into 00’s, top soundtrack

Lover’s Rock (Small Axe) - possibly not valid as it was screened on tv but wonderful stuff and it’s still on iplayer. Silly gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaames :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

working title: “After All”?

Umpire is still undecided about Wayne’s World being about music just fyi

This is Spinal Tap
A Mighty Wind
Bad News

2 surely is. It’s all about them setting up a music festival, and his girfriends career as a musician distancing them.
1 maybe a lot less so. Albeit meets his girlfriend a musician etc.
