Joe Meek was a record-producer in the 60s & had MASSIVE hits with the tracks 'Telstar' & 'Johnny Remember Me' to name but a few.

Meek is often known as 'the founder of British pop music' and this film is basically about his rise & fall and what an eccentric man he was.

It's directed by Nick Moran of 'Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels' fame & has some great cameos from rock stars as other rock stars, most noteably Carl Barat from The Libertines as Gene Vincent & Justin Hawkins (Ex-Darkness) as Screaming Lord Sutch.
