Scheduling
issues unfortunately meant Wendi, Tim and Sticky couldn’t join in
to record Episode 6 of See Hear Podcast this month. However, we at
See Hear HQ didn’t want our listeners to be deprived of a music
related film discussion, nosiree Bob!!!
I
put out the call to the See Hear Facebook community, and Hank Hellman
answered the call. Hank joined me to discuss the Northern Irish film
from 2012 Good Vibrations. This covers the true story of Terri Hooley
through the Seventies. In the midst of The Troubles in Belfast, Terri
attempts to stop the violence between the local youth by opening a
record store called Good Vibrations and by promoting local punk
bands. THAT’S why we don’t have more peace in the world – too
many record stores closing down!!! If this was presented as a work of
fiction, you’d never believe someone would attempt it.
Directed
by Lisa Barros D’sa and Glenn Leyburn, and starring Game of
Thrones’ Richard Dormer (who portrays Hooley brilliantly), this
film is a great representation about one man’s belief in the power
of music to change people’s lives without ever getting sloppy or
sentimental. Hooley is far from perfect, but you can’t help but
like him and what he’s trying to do.
I
really enjoyed chatting with Hank on his debut podcast appearance. I
truly hope it’s far from his last. He’s a great
conversationalist, and has much insight into the film Give the show a
listen, and encourage Hank to do some more.
You
can download or subscribe to the podcast from iTunes, Stitcher or the podcast app of your choice.
