Synopsis

Three stories. Three moments in time. And the songs, friendships and memories that somehow stayed with us.

The Songs We Had is a collection of three stories set in the North of England between the mid-1980s and early 1990s — a world of cinemas, football grounds, road trips, music, mates and the gloriously questionable decisions of youth.

In We Called Him Bruce, a chance encounter in a cinema queue becomes something far more memorable than anyone could have expected.

In Dead Easy, three Manchester United fans discover that getting into Old Trafford is one thing. Getting out again with the evidence is quite another.

And in The Stonehenge Express, a group of friends, a trip south and one monumentally bad idea turn an ordinary day out into an adventure they will never forget.

Funny, affectionate and occasionally bittersweet, these are stories about friendship, growing up and those seemingly insignificant moments that only reveal their true importance years later.

Because sometimes it isn't the big events we remember.

It's the people we were with. The things we did. And the songs we had.
