A DOCUMENTARY following the rise of Dunfermline's The Skids will premiere in Glasgow and London.

It follows an "incredible" response at the film's world premiere at the Galway Film Festival earlier this year.

The Skids: Revolution follows the band's story from conception in 1977 until its reunion in 2016.

It will take an anarchic view of the music industry and answer questions about what made the band successful.

The Scottish premiere will take place at Glasgow Film Theatre on Thursday, November 9, before a screening at the Finsbury Park Picturehouse in London on Saturday, November 11.

Laura Graham, co-director and editor, said: "We're very pleased to be having our UK premieres in Glasgow and London.

"The response to the film in Galway was incredible, it was heartening to see the enjoyment of everyone who came along, whether they had followed the band from the beginning or this was their first introduction.

"It has been a long process bringing this film to viewers and we can't wait to show it closer to home, Glasgow as a UNESCO city of music and London with its punk heritage.

"We're very grateful for the Doc n Roll Festival for organising both premières as part of their festival programme."

The Skids celebrated the release of Destination Dusseldorf this year with a historic homecoming gig at Dunfermline Abbey.

COViRO, formed in Northern Ireland, said they handpick each tale to highlight the varied lives and outlooks of its subjects in the hope that they inspire and engage viewers.

Colin Graham, co-director and cinematographer, added: "Both Glasgow and London venues are in the documentary.

"It's great that this will be the first place the film is shown in the UK.

"The documentary has footage from the O2 in Glasgow which sadly burnt down and we hope that it will remind fans of the great gigs that happened there.

"To be showing in the Glasgow Film Theatre is great, it's an iconic place for Scottish film. Cinemas transport you, just like music gigs.

"We're very happy to show people the film in these great venues, the Glasgow Film Theatre and the Finsbury Park Picturehouse.

"We can't wait to share it with more people, it's very exciting."
