See Hear podcast episode 6 - Good Vibrations

Scheduling issues unfortunately meant Wendi, Tim and Sticky
couldn’t join in to record Episode 6 of See Hear Podcast this
month. However, we at See Hear HQ didn’t want our listeners to be
deprived of a music related film discussion, nosiree Bob!!! I put
out the call to the See Hear Facebook community, and Hank Hellman
answered the call. Hank joined me to discuss the Northern Irish
film from 2012 Good Vibrations. This covers the true story of Terri
Hooley through the Seventies. In the midst of The Troubles in
Belfast, Terri attempts to stop the violence between the local
youth by opening a record store called Good Vibrations and by
promoting local punk bands. THAT’S why we don’t have more peace in
the world – too many record stores closing down!!! If this was
presented as a work of fiction, you’d never believe someone would
attempt it. Directed by Lisa Barros D’sa and Glenn Leyburn, and
starring Game of Thrones’ Richard Dormer (who portrays Hooley
brilliantly), this film is a great representation about one man’s
belief in the power of music to change people’s lives without ever
getting sloppy or sentimental. Hooley is far from perfect, but you
can’t help but like him and what he’s trying to do. I really
enjoyed chatting with Hank on his debut podcast appearance. I truly
hope it’s far from his last. He’s a great conversationalist, and
has much insight into the film Give the show a listen, and
encourage Hank to do some more. You can download or subscribe to
