Still Pushing Pineapples (CTBA)
What happens when you?ve created the worst hit song ever ? at least according to the music press??What comes after fleeting fame, and what does it mean to grow old still chasing a dream?
Kim Hopkins? moving and funny follow up to her documentary A Bunch of Amateurs follows Dene Michael as he clings to the remnants of fame he once had as a member of 1980s novelty pop group Black Lace.
The band?s hit Agadoo ? both beloved and hated by many ? is what Dene is best known for. Now, performing for a dwindling, ageing audience in some of the UK?s most deprived seaside towns and cities, he?s eager to press on with his music career and get out from under the legacy of the Black Lace songbook.
Stil Pushing Pineapples follows Dene, his spirited 89-year-old mum Anne, and his sassy girlfriend Hayley across the UK and the Costa del Sol in this unmistakably British road movie.?
