Become a memberFrom their humble beginnings in Dunfermline in 1977 and breakout hits including Into the Valley and The Saints Are Coming (later covered by U2 and Green Day), The Story of Skids: Scotland's No. 1 Punk Band is a personal exploration of the bands impact and place on the punk scene through the eyes of co-founder Richard Jobson. From school punk to modern day film producer, Richard has created an intriguing body of music and film works that define his Scottish upbringing. Although a harrowing childhood accident left him with epilepsy, Richard was only fifteen when forming Skids before launching Into the Valley into music folklore as their first single. In this cathartic documentary, which includes archive material and new performances, Richard talks candidly about the trials and tribulations that have shaped his life and creativity. Co-founder of the Skids and multi-hyphenate Richard Jobson - musician, filmmaker, TV presenter and author - will be joining director Mark Sloper (Billy Fury: The Sound Of Fury, Sid! By The People Who Knew Him) for a Q&A following the screening.
