Working-class band biopic - about Shaun Ryder of the Happy Mondays

"Shaun Ryder is the son of John Lennon, Johnny Rotten with a few kilos of John Belushi stamped in" - writer/director Matt Greenhalgh ('Control', 'Nowhere Boy', 'Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool'), says about his new project 'Twisting My Melon', the musical biopic of Shaun Ryder, of "the last true working-class band — the Happy Mondays". "Since childhood, all Shaun Ryder ever wanted to do was play in a rock band like his father, a local working-class guitar hero dubbed the 'Horseman,'" according to a plot description. "Soon his drive and one-of-a-kind songwriting skills catapulted him to front man of the Happy Mondays, the iconic '90s British rock band that would come to define a new cultural era. But success challenged Shaun and his relationship with his father in a riotous cautionary rock fable, set against a musical and cultural revolution whose impact can still be felt today."
