Fans of SING STREET, there is some good news for you: the movie is out now on DVD and Blu-ray and to celebrate, we would like you to test your 80s music knowledge in the fun quiz below!
If‘ 80s music is right up your street, then this film is perfect for you. John Carney’s forthcoming SING STREET will see the Irish director twinkling his musical magic once more after his great success with his 2007 critical hit ONCE; and in 2013’s BEGIN AGAIN with Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo.
SING STREET takes us back to 1980s Dublin where an economic recession forces Conor out of his comfortable private school and into survival mode at the inner-city public school where the kids are rough and the teachers are rougher. He finds a glimmer of hope in the mysterious and über-cool Raphina, and with the aim of winning her heart he invites her to star in his band’s music videos. She agrees, and now Conor must deliver what he’s promised – calling himself “Cosmo” and immersing himself in the vibrant rock music trends of the ’80s, he forms a band with a few lads, and the group pours their hearts into writing lyrics and shooting videos. Combining Carney’s trademark warmth and humour with a punk rock edge, and featuring a memorable soundtrack with hits from The Cure, Duran Duran, The Police, and Genesis, SING STREET is an electrifying coming-of-age film that will resonate with music fans across the board.
Starring in the movie is Ferdia Walsh-Peelo, Lucy Boynton, Jack Reynor, Maria Doyle Kennedy and Aidan Gillen.
SING STREET boasts a witty script, fresh performances from a bunch of likeable young actors and the film contains a great soundtrack of ’80s pop hits – what is not to like? Are you a big fan of the music from this era? Then test your knowledge of music in the quiz below!
