live it up (1963)

AKA Sing and Swing.
1963 sees British teen beat as imagined by Joe Meek, who packs this slight story with as many of his roster of singers and groups as he can. Everyone from Kenny Ball, The Outlaws, (including a pre Rainbow Ritchie Blackmore), to Gene Vincent appear.
The story concerns a group of delivery boys tryng to make it in the pop industry and will they get to play their song to a music big wig? Of more interest though are the actors backing Heinz including David Hemmings and Stephen Marriott, (who would soon be fronting his own band, the Small Faces).
