'Excitations' Over Good Vibrations

Good Vibrations can be felt across Belfast at the moment as the cameras roll on a movie focusing on Ulster music legend, Terri Hooley.
Shooting will continue on Good Vibrations in Belfast for the next five weeks before heading to the Irish Republic.
The film stars Richard Dormer in the leading role (Five Minutes of Heaven), Jodie Whittaker (One Day), Liam Cunningham (Hunger), Dylan Moran (A Cock and Bull Story) and Adrian Dunbar (The Crying Game).
And forget flying in a Hollywood hot list, the vibrations crew all hail from Ireland. Husband and wife directing duo Lisa Barros D'Sa and Glenn Leyburn return to the director's chairs following their indie hit debut Cherrybomb.
The film also embraces the work of script writers Colin Carberry and Glenn Patterson, and producers Andrew Eaton (The Trip) and Chris Martin (Peacefire).
Also on the production team is powerhouse DJ David Holmes (Ocean's 11) who will compose the score.
The film follows Terri Hooley, a radical, rebel and music-lover, in 1970s Belfast. When The Troubles bring the city to its knees his friends decide to either 'take up arms' or leave the country.
Terri, on the other hand, decides to open a record shop on one of the most bombed half-miles in Europe and call it Good Vibrations.
His love of music begins to connect with the punk bands who visit his shop and Terri finds a mission to create an 'Alternative Ulster' and bring Belfast back to life using its musical talent.
Producers Andrew Eaton and Chris Martin commented: "We are absolutely delighted to see this project come to fruition.
"To be able to tell the story of Belfast's godfather of punk, Terri Hooley, and to carry forward the resilience and spirit that was shown throughout the 70's and 80's Good Vibrations era. This ethos and spirit has been a major driving force in what we have done and will do as a production."
