Description
Sophisticated Boom Boom is a tender and hilarious account of growing up in a small town. For Declan and his friend Spit, music is the key to unlocking a world beyond their mundane lives.
Their salvation comes through Thin Lizzy's concert, which transforms Declan from a teenager in a brown cardigan into one wearing a black leather jacket. This is a love-letter to the period and place, and to the power of music that can galvanise and transform.
