When'd you want to rehearse? Not at the weekends. He's got a job packing shelves in Quinnsworth on Saturdays. You're not giving that up for any band, d'you hear me? Yeah. What about Mondays and Wednesdays after school? That's fine. Sounds good. Now all we need is other musicians. Do yous know any? - No. - Eamon? He usually just plays on his own. Don't you, love? Right, well, we can't get any peace in here. Let's continue this meeting outside.

There's a black guy in 3B. So? - Be cool if he was in the band. - Why? He's probably the one black guy in the whole school. Probably in Dublin. Having a golliwog in the band give us a real edge. You can't say "golliwog." Why not? Trust me, you just can't. And anyway, what if he can't play anything? He'll be able to play something; he's black.

I'll be in your band. I'll play guitar. And I'll help write songs. We could rehearse here 'cause my da's in Saint John of Gods. - Is that a pub? - No, Darren. It's a place where alcoholics go to get off the drink, stop beating up their wives and kids. Right. And neighbors. Who's gonna be the manager? Me. Have you managed bands before? No, I'm just breaking into the market. Got to get everything straight. Get everything down on paper first. Otherwise, the major record labels can rip you off when they come hunting. That's what me da says.

"Futurist band forming. Looking for a bass player, drummer." That's us. "Influences include Depeche Mode, Duran Duran and many more." - Faggots. - Piss off, Ryan. "Contact Management Solutions, 361 at St. Theresa's Gardens. No telephone, just call in." Sounds like a gig for us. Let's go.

That's really sweet. Oh. No, it's not about you. It's about another model I know. Oh. Right, well, I'll give it a listen, but I'm, like, really, really busy at the moment. You know, so I'll try. Yeah, you should. It's a, it's a good song. We've got a great team. It's a really good opportunity. Cool. So this Saturday at 12:00, then? 12:00. Sounds good. - Thanks. - Cool. Bye.

- Wow. - Can I help you? Is this the house where the colored lad lives? Four doors down. What do you think? How many black people do you think that lives on this shitty estate? - Do you know Ngig? - What's that? Ngig. My son. We're putting a band together. Does he play any instruments? Why don't you ask him yourself? We are putting a band together. I am the manager. What the hell is wrong with him?

You have to imagine it's not as... Shit? This will be good. - Really? - Yeah. You just need some proper cameras and a good director. But as long as it's in your head, that's what counts. It's an exercise in imagination. Think big, Conor. This is just a means to an end. And she looks amazing. She's got to be in all the videos. - Yeah? - Oh, yeah. She's world-class. Without her, you're just a bunch of gay-looking kids down an alleyway. Have you kissed her yet? - No way. - Why not? She's a year older than me. And, anyway, she's got a boyfriend. - Ah. Who? - Evan Adams. He's, like, a full-grown man. He's got a car and all and stubble. What's he doing hanging out with a kid? She's not really like a kid. Hmm. - What's this? - Homework. You're good. Get better. How d'you know he's her boyfriend anyway? It seemed like it. Pulled off in his car, music blaring. He's pretty cool. What was he listening to? Genesis. He will not be a problem. - Really? - Trust me. No woman can truly love a man who listens to Phil Collins.

So where d'you live? Not far from the school. Harcourt Terrace. Ah, by the canal. Did you grow up there? Yeah. Though we're probably moving. My parents are broke. That's why they sent me to that school. Yeah, I was wondering about that. You're a bit posh for around there. Speak for yourself. Your house is massive. Is it? My parents are probably splitting up. That's sad. Are you doing okay with it? Oh, yeah. It's a bit intense being around them. Jesus, all that drama. I'm glad I don't have parents.

You've got really good cheekbones. - What? - Yeah. Yeah, you should let me do your makeup. - Really? - Yeah. Now this light's gonna be really harsh on camera. It'll take the edge off. I'm actually wearing some right now.

Yeah, you should probably learn the lyrics. So you can lip-sync to them properly. We're shooting at the lane at the back of Quinnsworth. - You know Quinnsworth? - Yeah. This Saturday at 12:00. Cool. Well, I'll try and make it. What would I wear? I don't know. It's kind of like a Chinese theme. So, like, a kimono? Well, it's more like a riff than a song.

# It's 2:00 on the edge of the morning # # She's running magical circles around my head # # I hitch a ride on a dream she's driving # # She turns to kiss me, I crash back into bed # # Across the street on a grayed out Monday # # I see the girl with the eyes I can't describe # # And suddenly it's a perfect Sunday # # And everything is more real than life # # I think I'm back in the dream # # I think I'm back on the ceiling # # It's such a beautiful feeling # # Going up # # She lights me up # # She breaks me up # # She lifts me up # # You find a mystery bound in perfection # # You've got to read, but you don't wanna reach the end # # 'Cause what if everything beautiful's fiction # # And this reality's just pretend? # # And then I'm back in the dream # # Looking up at the ceiling # # It's such a beautiful feeling # # Going up # # She lights me up # # She breaks me up # # She lifts me up # # Up to the stars she shows me # # Dame Street, George's Street # # Miles below me # # Up where the world won't let us down # # Na, na, na, na # # Going up # # She lights me up # # She breaks me up # # She lifts me up. # Boys, look at David Bowie.

Oh, you, um, sound different from your mam. Course I do; been here half me bleedin' life. What'd you think? Would you have any interest in playing in a band? What kind of music are yous playing? We're not a hundred percent sure yet, but do you play any instruments?
