The Spin (15)

2025 UK

Dir. Michael Head

So many of the very good films we screen tend to be serious or, according to some, “depressing”. This one is a sweet and uplifting Irish road movie that packs in the laughs as it follows Dermot and Elvis, two music lovers who run a struggling record shop in Omagh, Northern Ireland.

Facing an unpaid rent bill and their vicious landlord Sadie, who’s eager to get them out of her building, the pair stumble across a deal too good to be true: rare, vintage records of blues legend Robert Johnson for sale in Cork at a knock-down price. If they can make it to the other end of Ireland in time, then maybe they could get the rare vinyl, and save the shop…. A fun and off-the-wall buddy movie,

The Spin is based upon a semi-autobiographical short story by Omagh music star Mark McCausland (The Lost Brothers, The Basement, McKowski), who also provides the film’s beautiful folk soundtrack.

Tickets for this film are £6 (£1 child/student) available on the door or in advance from the Buxton Opera House box-office
