What happens when you�ve created the worst hit song ever � at least according to the music press? What comes after fleeting fame, and what does it mean to grow old still chasing a dream? Kim Hopkins� moving and funny follow up to her documentary A Bunch of Amateurs features former pop star Dene Michael as he clings to the remnants of fame he once had as a member of 1980s novelty pop group Black Lace. The band�s universally known hit Agadoo � both beloved and hated by many, and the high or low point of any party � is what Dene�s best known for. Now, performing for a dwindling, ageing audience in some of the UK�s most deprived seaside towns and cities, he�s eager to press on with his music career and get out from under the legacy of the Black Lace songbook. �An entertaining, and ultimately touching, life drama.� - The Hollywood Reporter
