Thanks again!

Just read your review, David, you thought the exact opposite to me!

Good review though, i.e. well written.

I love music festivals, and so I may be a bit bias! Loved the soundtrack, recognised all the acts, wanted to sing and dance along... I was really immersed in the festival atmosphere, the director introduced the film and said the film was shot at T in the Park, taking just four and half days to make it, the only way to based a story around a festival was to film it at one. I think it really worked.

Loved the leads too. Great performances from Luke Treadway (Attack the Block and Heartless) and Natalia Tena (Harry Potter). They wrote their own songs for the film, and I thought they were very convincing as singers (especially Natalie, she has her own real life band), and had great chemistry together.

This was London's You Instead Launch, held at Camden Odeon and there was a party afterwards at Barfly. Thanks to Beate's OH winning the comp and letting me have his tickets!

Before the screening, the stars posed for photos. Totally confused when I saw Luke Treadway walking around in the foyer, first in green trousers than in the blue jeans. It turns out it was his twin brother, Harry (Fish Tank). Luckily, I managed to get photos taken with both! It was fab bumping into bevvy and 5rannoch, and thanks for saving me seats while I was playing paparazzi! And an ex-colleague who I had not seen for three years! Asked how he got in and he said he got too many bloody CD's at HMV!

The cinema was packed. And after the film we all went round the corner to Barfly for free drinks and a gig by Luke and then Natalie with her band, Molotov Jukebox, who totally rocked our socks off! At one stage found myself dancing with Luke and Ruta Gedmintas (who also plays his girlfriend in the film).

And got kissed by Tonks from Harry Potter - aka Natalie Tena! I seen to have this effect on girl singers!

10/10

After hearing all the negatives from everyone else, I read yours and wow what a contrast but you totally sold it to me, enough so that I will have it on my Lovefilm queue when its out

I do want to see more films with Natalie Tena anyway.

I wasn't sure either after all the negative reviews, and I had two other free films to choose from last night (they were all snapped up so didn't go to waste!

), but as I said I am so glad I did go!

if you missed a festival this year then go to this, it will make up for the loss. But beware, its really just a slight love story, and the live performances are brief and disclude the really good bands (what no Kasabian?) and their songs ('Tainted love' apart).

reminded me also that heavily tanned/dark skinned scottish women are well hot. och!
