The Story of The Skids (12A)

Screening as part of the Scottish Music strand of The Red Shoes Festival.
An explosive documentary about Scotland’s Number 1 Punk band The Skids (“Scotland’s most explosive band”), this is an unmissable watch telling the story of Dunfermline’s own iconic punk band!
Told from the perspective of Skids co-founder Richard Jobson, the documentary wonderfully blends archival footage, new performances, and Jobson’s take on the band’s challenges as well as their creative approach to their music.
Join us for the final weekend of The Red Shoes Festival – a summer celebration of Scottish music and dance, centred on Dunfermline’s own Moira Shearer and the cultural places and people connected to her life and legacy and marking the centenary of her birth.
Scottish Music strand: From Punk at the Pictures to Country music at the Carnegie, this strand takes you through the Scottish music scene. It even includes Dunfermline’s own ‘story of the Skids’.
Dir: Mark Sloper
Cast: Richard Jobson, Derek Harris
Production Year: 2025
