Acclaimed new film ‘Sing Street’ from director John Carney ('Once', 'Begin Again') is set to a formidable soundtrack that includes classic songs from The Cure, The Jam, Philip Lynott, Starship and The Blades.

The story takes us back to 1980’s Dublin seen through the eyes of a 14 year old boy named Conor trying to adjust to his new rough inner-city school. He finds a glimmer of hope in the mysterious and beautiful Raphina, and with the aim of winning her heart he invites her to star in his band's music videos. There's only one problem: he's not part of a band... yet. 

Several UMPG published songs are featured in the film’s soundtrack: The Cure - ‘Inbetween Days’ and ‘The Lovecats’; The Jam - ‘Town Called Malice’; Philip Lynott - ‘Yellow Pearl’; Starship –‘Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now’ and The Blades - ‘Ghost Of A Chance’
 
The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and has been widely praised by critics. Empire said the film; “will make you laugh, cry and leave you humming its songs for days”, whilst Variety described it as;  “A heart-melting adolescent romance that gives teenage garage bands everywhere a better name.”
