image

This satirical take on the music world is centred on a mythical young Glasgow band as they stumble across talent, get good and become famous by mistake.

Spanning six episodes, the unfeasibly named Jocks Wa Hey recruit a new member, revolutionise their sound, acquire suitably dubious management, cut a chaotic swathe through the ruthless world of promotion and rapidly accumulate a £3 million debt. In return, they reach the dizzying heights of number seven in the singles chart. <br/>

The series includes cameo performances from ‘real’ rock stars Noel Gallagher, Chrissie Hind and Jay Kay and celebrities Denise Van Outen, Sara Cox, Kirsty Wark, Samantha Fox and Timmy Mallet. Chastening viewing for wannabes everywhere.
