During the 2 years that the feature length Sharks band documentary. Not A Rock-Doc, was filmed the band was based in Lewes and Brighton. Locations include Depot Lewes, Needlemakers, Westgate Chapel, the Con Club, Black Rock Rehearsal Rooms and Bleach Brighton.
"Anyone who has ever been in, or wanted to be in, a rock band should see this film." Screen actor Ian McShane
The film screens at 8.00pm followed by Q&A with Sharks vocalist, and director of the film Steve 'Snips' Parsons - moderated by esteemed author and critic David Quantick. Sharks were a cult band from the 1970's and their original line up included Andy Fraser (composer of the rock classic All Right Now for his band Free) and legendary guitarist Chris Spedding.
The film is by turns both hilarious and agonizing. It chronicles the band's 21st century revival, which begins in triumph and ends in a chaotic 'B List' hell world. Other September UK screenings include London, Leeds, Sheffield, Hull, Stockport and New Brighton
