SCHEMERS (15)

DRAMA comedy based on the true story of how Dundee-born concert promoter Dave McLean (who directs) cut his teeth before he moved to London and became manager of rock band Placebo.

Davie (Conor Berry, pictured) harbours fanciful dreams of playing for Dundee United Football Club but his flirtation with the beautiful game is cut short when he scores off the field.

During a drunken night out, Davie succumbs to the charms of a girl who is “the spitting image of the blonde bird from ABBA”. When her brutish fiancé (David Izatt) discovers the alcohol-fuelled fumble, he breaks one of Davie’s legs.

Hobbling around town on crutches, Davie spots an opportunity to make money by organising a university disco. He joins forces with drug dealer Scot (Sean Connor) and DJ John (Grant R Keelan) to stage the event which is a roaring success.

Davie excitedly expands his horizons to book Simple Minds for the princely sum of £15 and six cans of lager under the banner of Twa Bridges Promotions. Consequently, Davie, Scot and John become entangled with Fergie (Alastair Thomson Mills), who controls the city’s largest music venues.
