27 May 1990. Spike Island, Widnes. The setting for a seminal outdoor concert by The Stone Roses, and for five young Manchester lads who go on an emotional and literal journey to attend that very concert. Premiering for the first time anywhere in the world at the 56th BFI London Film Festival tonight, 'Spike Island' is a feature steeped in a loving nostalgia and sure to strike a chord with any musical devotee.
