Alan Parker directs Robert Arkins, Michael Aherne and Maria Doyle in this Irish musical comedy where a young hustler recruits a soul band from the estates of North Dublin.

Iconic and very quotable. Foul mouthed as opposed to genuinely gritty. A rainy fairytale. The music makes it. Mad to think Robert Arkins who carries the ensemble with charisma and timing never really worked on a big film again.
