Once We Were Punks

Director: Frank Shouldice


1980s Bailieboro, Co Cavan, four school friends form a punk band and set their sights on world domination. When the big breakthrough never comes, careers, adulthood, and emigration intervene. But when they meet up at a funeral 25 years later they pick up where they left off. Frank Shouldice (The Man Who Wanted to Fly) has found another bunch of witty Cavan men to beguile us as they reignite friendships and revisit their musical youth.
