- Synopsis:
In 1975, in the North of Ireland, if five teenagers got together it would have been normal, even expected, for a riot to ensue - the outsider might not have been able to tell the difference standing in a crowded Casbah one Friday night... Fronted with the unmistakable vocal style of lead singer Feargal Sharkey, with John and Damien O'Neill on guitars, Michael Bradley on bass and Billy Doherty behind the drum kit, this is Teenage Kicks: The Story Of The Undertones. In his first pilgrimage to Derry, Northern Ireland, legendary BBC DJ John Peel meets the band behind his favourite pop song, Teenage Kicks. Revelling in his journey of discovery, John Peel is amazed at the band's apparent innocence. Reared in a town where the most abhorred social disgrace was to get above yourself, The Undertones simply tried not to take any of it too seriously. - Actors:
