I don't know if any of you saw the comedy series Derry Girls on Channel 4 recently.
Set in the 1990's and featuring a group of Catholic school girls (and an English boy being taught in a girl's school for his own safety) navigating life in Derry during the Troubles. It's well worth a watch.
Tonight it is the turn of the Derry Boys as Feargal Sharkey, John and Damian O'Neill, Michael Bradley and Billy Doherty collectively know as The Undertones feature on the regular Friday night BBC4 music slot.
Again it should be well worth a watch.
The Undertones - Here Comes the Summer
The Undertones - Get Over You
Will be watching CC? I thought Feargal Sharkey's name was mud in music blogging circles.
ReplyDeleteWas alerted to Derry Girls by Mark over at So It Goes... - Very funny.
I enjoyed "Derry Girls". Thought it a bit similar in style to "Moone Boy" which Chris O'Dowd did a few years back with the amazing David Rawle as schoolboy Martin Moone. But "Derry Girls" is more grown up - if any of that makes sense?
ReplyDeleteGiven the brilliance of the Undertones I will be watching albeit with gritted teeth
DeleteDerry Girls was very funny Already looking forward to series 2.
