Synopsis:

Eager to shift thoughts away from those of the Troubles during the 1970s, music fanatic Terri Hooley (Richard Dormer, TV's Game of Thrones) opens a record store, 'Good Vibrations', in the heart of one of Belfast's roughest districts. As the shop gains a loyal following, Terri decides to start a small record label with the aim of launching some of the local bands he's discovered, including The Undertones whose first single, 'Teenage Kicks', is soon championed by legendary Radio 1 DJ John Peel... A heart-warming and hilarious true story, Good Vibrations is not a feel-good film - it's a feel-great film!

Terri Hooley is a radical, rebel and music-lover in 1970s Belfast when the bloody conflict known as the Troubles shuts down his city. As all his friends take sides and take up arms, Terri opens a record shop on the most bombed half-mile in Europe and calls it Good Vibrations. Through it he discovers a compelling voice of resistance in the city's nascent underground punk scenes. Galvanising the young musicians into action, he becomes the unlikely leader of a motley band of kids and punks who join him in his mission to create a new community, an alternative Ulster, to bring his city back to life.

A chronicle of Terri Hooley's life, a record-store owner instrumental in developing Belfast's punk-rock scene.
