TEENAGE KICKS – THE UNDERTONES
Veteran BBC Radio DJ John Peel takes his first visit to Derry and discovers for himself the band that forged his favourite pop song «Teenage Kicks». The film, through the use of interviews and archive footage of Derry and The Undertones, takes us back to 1975. To a time when it would have been normal, even expected, for five Derry teenagers to get together and have a riot. The Undertones got together, formed a band, and created their own form of riot, bursting into a vigorous and joyous celebration of their own existence. Nonetheless, despite their limited ambitions, or paradoxically because of them, they achieved a genuine cult status outside their hometown.
