Book for 8pm screening to enjoy welcome and intro from director James SlaterThis is the story of six working-class Wirral teens that shook the British Indie music scene
Dreaming of You: The Making of The Coral follows the story of six childhood outsiders from Merseyside as they transform into one of the most influential British guitar bands of the new millennium.
Their high-energy blend of psychedelic rock 'n' roll revitalising the doldrums of the post-Britpop music scene. Narrated by the band, the film is an immersive experience that creatively combines reconstruction, archive footage, and animation to capture the early 2000s era through the eyes of six northern teenagers, who together created their own strange, endlessly creative escapist universe.
As the friends leave their sleepy hometown of Hoylake in pursuit of musical glory, the spotlight eventually finds them but is it fame they’re after or it just being together?
With appearances from The Lightning Seeds, The Zutons and Tramp Attack, Dreaming of You: The Making of The Coral is a dreamscape of friendship, fame and fuzzy guitars.
“If you’re going to tell the story of The Coral, then it would be about growing up. An adventure that led to an album.” Nick Power, The Coral
“The First incarnation of the band was a Ghosthunting business” James Skelly, The Coral
