This year we’re so excited to be teaming up with Pity Party Film Club to screen the Scottish premier of ‘Waiting – The Van Duren Story’. The film is the story of a Memphis musician (Van Duren) who was tipped to be the new Paul McCartney but instead faded into obscurity. Sorta like ‘Searching For Sugarman’ for fans of power-pop!
