Just watched it on telly and thought it was great. It's historically inaccurate for good reason. For instance, Wikipedia suggests that 10 people passed through The Outlaws, a further 21 passed through The Tornadoes, and yet more were in Heinz' backing line ups! Taking the most famous handful and casting them as the main members of all bands is precisely the artistic licence creators of a two hour movie should take. You can't develop characters if they change every scene!

Just coming to this now, long after the movie - which I did enjoy despite its artistic licence. Very good previous update of the facts on here by RGM304, a lot of which I didn't know even though I was there at the time in that crazy studio in a house, if only briefly. Joe offered me a recording contact way back then, maybe around a year and a half before he died, following an audition there, but I didn't sign it and I never went back because of the stories I heard about him. This plus what amounted to a brief pass he made at me at the time! I had a friend years ago who was gay and explained to me how he along with some other gay men was much more attracted to heterosexual men, so perhaps this was the case with Joe. Regardless of this I came to realise many years later that he was a production genius, plus with sound equipment and effects. I have read that he was tone deaf, and if this really was the case then it is even more amazing. Many of us look back and think to ourselves, well, I wonder if I'd taken that chance....but we'll never know. I do hope that one day someone makes a big proper movie with more of the facts, as I think the story is bigger than that told.

Hi interesting...keenly interested in Joe Meek - what a genius and personality. I'm also interested in "Heinz" Burt. He could almost dio witha documentray on himself and his life. Mel, did you know if Heinz could ACTUALLY play the bass or was it a pure "mime"? Interestingly when one thinks about how Joe revolutionized recording...bathrooms..kitchens for acoustics etc. I have to say I record all my personal stuff in my little kitchen..although with a little more modern day gadgetry!

I do have some sympathy for Patrick Pink who having suffered seeing his friend and mentor blow his brains out, is probably a bit sensitive about being accused of supplying psychosis inducing drugs and leaving the resulting madman in possession of a shotgun. That said, just as was done with the band members, it makes sense to roll up characters in a two hour movie. There's no point bringing in dealers, and later lovers for a scene each. The movie flows better if they're all rolled into Patrick.

I am very familiar with the story of Joe Meek and I enjoyed the movie. It irritates me to see people squabbling over the 'facts' when I'll wager none of them were there. The only people who really know were the ones who WERE there and usually, after long passages of time, memories can become blurred and accounts can differ. Just be glad someone took the trouble to make it.

Details about what side Clem had his parting and a sign being back to front are quite irrelevant to the overall film. Perhaps the shotgun episode supposedly with Clem in the studio could have been more accurate. It was actually Mitch Mitchell that had the gun in his face not Clem. I was playing on that particular session. I also new Heinz very well and at no time on any of the weeks I spent on tour did I ever see signs of him being gay. In fact he pulled more girls than most men would have in a life time. The part of Joe meek was played brilliantly but strangely enough he was a lot more volatile and unpredictable than the film portrayed. The Tornados were also made to look like idiots which they certainly were not. Its a pity that the producers didn't get more genuine facts from people that were actually there, but there you go, perhaps it was the very limited budget they were working with. Next time perhaps Spielberg could do one. He would have really captured the essence of the time.Dave Watts

The movie had to come up with some credible reason for someone as mediocre as Heinz to be pushed into the limelight with the likes of Bowie, the Beatles and Sir Tom knocking on the door. I'd say that shagging the boss seems by far the most plausible explanation! If his family think he wasn't gay, so what? (and what would they know anyway) The film doesn't suggest he was gay, it actually suggests that he bedded the boss for pure career development purposes!

An interesting film about a tallented, complex and dare I say flawed man. If I remember the actor who played Heinz was also in the film of Alexander The Great, which went to great lengths to be historically accurate and suffered from a complex narrative. Purists are never going to be happy with the filmakers choices and the audience is not there to justify a worthy uber accurate story. I sat through the play this was based on and felt annoyed that the referances to Johnny Kidd and Billy Fury were not nuanced enough but I am glad I saw it and I enjoyed this film too. By the way Joe dressed to the left.

I have the movie and am a huge fan of Joe Meek and The Tornados. However I agree that a lot is not true. One fact is the “throwing tape recorder at Clem” Clem Cattini has stated this in another You Tube interview himself as “Joe being upset as Clem really despised “Globe Trotter” as it did sound so much like “Venus In Blue Jeans”. Joe did not like the criticism but the recorder was thrown on the stairs bumping downwards well after Clem got near to the bottom. As far as the other incidents, I am certainly not one to judge, however I don’t believe Heinz to be a homosexual. His widow and son are quite adamant and were upset over that he is portrayed as one in the movie. I do like the movie but I believe a lot is not factual.
