We travel back in time for Mat Whitecross’ new film and the Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll director continues the musical theme in his film Spike Island, telling the story of a group of kids who travel to Spike Island, Cheshire for the now famous concert by The Stone Roses.

The film is a coming of age tale wrapped up in love letter to a band and an era which, desipte the reunion of the band only last year, seems a world away. Whitecross and his cast were in town last weekend for the London Film Festival premiere of Spike Island and our guys Ben Mortimer and Colin Hart were on the red carpet to meet them.

You can see their interviews with the cast and crew below.
