Popping up this tonight (Friday 5th June) in the Guildhall Pop Up Picture House, Plympton-St-Maurice- the screening of "Good Vibrations" - the critically acclaimed feel-good biographical comedy-drama based on the life of Terri Hooley, the "Godfather of Punk"

Set in 1970s sectarian Belfast in the midst of The Troubles, Terri (Richard Dormer) is a DJ who opens a record shop "on the most bombed half-mile in Europe". He is a music-lover, idealist, radical and rebel. He is inspired by the new underground punk scene and in turn galvanises the young musicians, branching out into record production and bringing life to the city...

Also starring Jodie Whittaker, Karl Johnson and Ruth McCabe who all give great support as Terri's long suffering wife, dad and mum.

Doors and bar open at 7.00pm and the screening starts at 7.30pm

We hope to see you there!
