Good Vibrations Page #2

Synopsis: In 1970s Belfast, Terri Hooley is an idealistic rocker who finds himself caught in the middle of Northern Ireland's bitter Troubles. Seeing a parallel in the chaos with Jamaica, Hooley opens a record shop, Good Vibrations, to help bring reggae music to his city to help encourage some harmony. However, Hooley soon discovers a new music genre, punk rock, and is inspired by its youthful vitality to become an important record producer and promoter of the local scene. In doing so, Hooley would struggle both with the industry's realities and his chaotic personal life that threaten to consume him. However, he would also be instrumental in creating an alternative Irish community that would bridge his land's religious and social rivalries with an art no one expected.

and he's a prick now.

Only now he's a prick with a gun.

D'you think maybe it's time

we got out of here?

That's what they expect!

That's what they want!

Terri?

- Say that again.

- I wanna open a record shop.

On Great Victoria Street?

Bomb Alley?

Aye, you'll have to use

a bit of imagination.

So, wholefood shop down here,

I'll have the People's Printing

Press on the top floor

and your shop here in the middle.

F***ing brilliant!

Do you know how long it's been

since I had someone in here

telling me he wanted

to open something?

I don't suppose you've

any collateral?

I wouldn't get my hopes up.

These people won the

Nobel Prize, Dave.

One million pounds to promote

peace and love in Northern Ireland.

I and I is bringing reggae

to the people of Belfast.

Good luck.

One love.

F***ing hippies!

It's thought that these 10

became targets for revenge

following the shooting dead

of three Roman Catholics

from the same area in

a bar on Saturday night.

Following the murders, the mother of one

of the victims appealed for no retaliation,

but despite that appeal,

retaliation was swift.

Politicians across the divide have

expressed their condemnation of...

- What's that?

- I got a job.

...fears of further revenge attacks.

The murders are further evidence...

- Truant officer?

- Don't say anything.

...on either side are far from over.

To date, more than 1,000 people

have been killed in The Troubles,

many in circumstances that should

remind the terrorists' claims

that they have no wish

to harm innocent people.

The question of a...

You haven't anything a

bit more substantial?

You mean like a house?

It was pretty straightforward.

The 40 quid swung it.

But here, I might be home a bit late.

I've a wee problem to sort out first.

- Hello?

- Marty? Terri Hooley.

There were people in our town who

shot people because of their religion.

There were people in our town that

shot people because of their politics,

or because of something they'd said

or something someone

said they'd said.

There were people who shot people to

make sure their guns were working right.

Why doesn't everybody sit down?

Some of those people were sitting

in that bar when I walked in.

And some more of them

had walked in behind me.

You know the old saying about

the devil and the long spoon?

Thought for a bunch of c*nts like you

a few LPs ought to do the trick.

Well, don't all dive in at once.

Stick it out.

Right, now, everybody happy?

Okay. Now, can I ask you

something in return?

See, when this shop opens,

there's to be no coming round

looking a donation for the

Republican prisoners

or the Loyal Orange Widows.

Oh, and another thing,
