Synopsis

We are marking the 60th Anniversary of Pirate Radio with a weekend of films form the early 1960’s with £1 for every ticket sold going to the LV18 Restoration Fund

In this swinging romp through 1960s London, the frenzied manager of mod-rockers the Small Faces (made up of Steve Marriott, Kenney Jones, Ian McLagan and Ronnie Lane) gets into trouble when he agrees to use the band to smuggle diamonds out of the country. Songs include the Small Faces’ “I’ve Got Mine,” “It’s Too Late,” “Come On Children” and “Don’t Stop What You’re Doing” and The Chantelles’ “I Think of You” and “Please Don’t Kiss Me.”

Exterior locations used in filming included Parkeston Quay and Harwich, and the Rank Ballroom in Watford, Herts.
