5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Comedy in Years!, 19 Jan 2002

By	sjd@glenartney.fsnet.co.uk (Scotland) - See all my reviews

Definately the best comedy in years! This focuses on a group trying to make it in the music business with all the laughs along the way. With excellent performances from Simone Lahbib and Ciaran McMenamin this will keep you hooked! If like me ur Scottish u will luv this and if not u will find the take on Scottish culture hilarious. The band, Jocks-Wa-Hey also have a great sound and i am going in search of the soundtrack as it is a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly funny, 25 Aug 2000

By A Customer

If you want a video to cheer you up on a rainy/boring day this is the one! All of the cast are excellent, especially Simone Lahbib, who plays Fiona Johnstone, a DJ by night and DSS employee by day who proves to be the key to propelling the group to stardom. Although it seems pretty much inevitable that she will eventually let Jez, the groups's singer, have his wicked way with her, there are plenty of laughs along the way. It's a while now since it was first on TV, but I saw some of the repeats this year, managed to miss the end and thought I HAVE to buy the video!Especially as one who is partial to "happy" endings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very funny from start to end, 25 Aug 2000

By A Customer

This is a wonderful comical look at the ups and downs of making it in the tough music business, with all the true things you have to look out for. The musical talent of Jocks Wahey is also great, but the humor makes it more a satirical than a serious documantary. Stapleton performs a wonderful Scottish accent with some excellent guitar playing and Marwick delivers a great permance as the dedicated rock singer/songwriter. This is a MUST for any music fan.
