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.
