Lost In France – Music Competition

Win CD & Vinyl bundle to celebrate the release of Lost In France!

To celebrate the release of Lost In France, in cinemas March 3rd (Cert 15a) we’re giving you the chance to win an incredible CD & Vinyl bundle courtesy of Chemikal Underground Records. The bundle includes: Magoo Vote The Pacifist Ticket Today on vinyl, Holy Mountain Ancient Astronauts on vinyl and Mogwai Come On Die Young on CD.

In Glasgow in the mid-1990s, flourishing indie rock band The Delgados established cult record label Chemikal Underground, heralding a renaissance of independent music in the city that would bring the likes of Mogwai, Arab Strap and Franz Ferdinand to the world.

Lost in France, an exhilarating new documentary, explores the rise of this Glaswegian music scene, revisiting a defining, chaotic trip to France in the musicians’ early careers. Featuring a stunning mix of live performances and frequently hilarious interviews, the film reunites key label personnel in an intimate exploration of friendship, memory and making music.

Written and directed by Niall McCann and produced by Nicky Gogan and Paul Welsh for Still Films and Edge City Films with funding from the Irish Film Board and Creative Scotland.
