- TriviaThe film's characters Chris and Caz are operating a pirate radio station from a tower block in Dalston. Dalston is a real-life district of the London Borough of Hackney, located at a distance of 4 miles (6.4 km) to the north-east of Charing Cross. Dalston was a hub for the 1970s and 1980s pub rock venues, but most of them were demolished after the gentrification of the area in the 1990s and 2000s.

Featured review
young soul rebels
firstly this film has some mistakes in it,i was a soul girl back int he day,punks and soul boys weren't pally,but not enemies either,the didn't go to the same clubs,the fashion is correct but the music is out of time ,some of the music came out maybe up to 2 years later,that apart it does pick up the atmosphere of the day and the vibe and is at least acknowledging the soul scene,and the cult of soul boys and girls ,a major thing,but very unknown which is odd,i guess the write must have a bit of info of the movement,still as a fun film its OK and does bring a few
memories i think unless you were part of the scene you would find this
a bit dull,it is hollow ,but the clothes and dancing are all spot on,although gay guys did have there own disco clubs,again fairly underground as back then it wasn't as tolerated as it is,rightly so,now as so many other films have been made about punks and skinheads it god to see a movie reflecting a little known but extremely popular movement
