I went to the World Premier of "Rockers Don’t Stop - The Revival of Rockers Revenge" by Arthur Baker on Saturday at the British Film Institue with Arthur Baker and Rockers Revenge band members Tina B, Donnie Calvin and Adrienne Johnson in attendance. If Athur gets even limited distribution for the movie next year, go and see it if you get a chance. It's a nice piece for headz and a well done labor of love from Baker, produced and edited over a seven year period. It tells the story of the original Walking On Sunshine hit and why it didn't really go any further back in 82/83... It then jumps to the moment when out of the blue one of the original members contacted Arthur on Facebook after not having spoken to each other for 30 years and follows them over the period since they reestablished contact. There are moments of laughter (out loud) and tears (faux rillz) for the audience. Dwight Hawkes was not at the premiere for reasons you will understand once you get to see the movie.
They have been working on an album which Arthur has not been able to sell to anyone, so who knows whether it well ever see the light of day.
Had to get my original (UK) Walking On Sunshine vinyl signed by all members as well as Northend's Happy Days (in Arthur's own opinion his best work - I agree) and his seminal Breaker's Revenge:
