Children's adventure film, with music. The Pop Pirates, a schoolboy pop
group singing vaguely raggae/ska-ish inflections with lyrics like "Say what
you wanna say / Baby, you're the one", enter a local talent contest. But
unbeknownst to the others, the lead singer, Paul, is involved with his
uncle's video piracy racket.
The grown-up evildoers are a pair of music pirates/smugglers who are holed up
in a disused canal barge. Much sneaking about, getting discovered, being
captured and locked up, trying to enlist the help of the local police who
don't believe them (adults!) etc. All ends well in the long run, though.
"Pop Pirates" was one of the last 'Children's Film Foundation'
movies from the mid 80's and definitely the best. Staring Roger
Daltry (Lead singer of rock supergroup The Who) and a host of
great young actor/musicians.
For all the film buffs, it was shown on British BBC TV at least
3 times: in 1987, May 1989 and 1992. Originally shown on release
in 1985 throughout the world at children's matinee cinemas. Also
was widely syndicated on U.S. TV networks.
