Blossoms are set to release a special new documentary. Entitled Back to Stockport, the documentary is scheduled for arrival on November 8th via Amazon Prime. Back to Stockport will also be accessible on YouTube for a 24 hour period from 8 pm (GMT) on November 7th.
Back to Stockport will be centred around Blossoms’ seminal live performance at Stockport County FC’s Edgeley Park, which took place in June of 2019. The five-piece band will offer an intimate reflection of the Edgeley Park show, their homecoming gig which shifted the trajectory of Blossoms’ now-thriving career.
Late last night (November 2nd), Blossoms shared the trailer for Back to Stockport via their official YouTube channel. The intriguing snippet opens with an intimate look into Blossoms at the studio, with lead vocalist Tom Odgen jesting around during the making of their hit song, I Can’t Stand It.
The trailer offers glimpses of life on the road for the band, from both the panic-filled and peaceful moments. Fans were certainly pleased with the teaser trailer, as the post has already reaped 117,000 likes.
Back to Stockport will be directed by English filmmaker Charlie Watts. Blossoms relayed their excitement behind the collaboration with Watts, with whom they have worked closely over the years. Blossoms said in an official statement: “We have worked with Charlie on and off since the band started really, so when the opportunity to make something together surrounding the homecoming show in Stockport came about, we jumped at the chance.”
The Mancunian quintet spoke highly of Watts, whom they believe to have encapsulated the spirit of Blossoms perfectly. Blossoms stated that: “We think he’s really captured the spirit of the band, and being a friend, he was able to get the natural moments you don’t normally see in a band documentary. We love the film and hope you do too!”
Charlie Watts relayed his own excitement for Back to Stockport. Director Watts said: “To be able to make a film about them playing to a sold-out show in our home town of Stockport was something I’ll never forget. I think the film gives an intimate insight into the amazing bond and togetherness this band has. They grew up as best friends and it really does show on the screen.”
Back to Stockport will be a sure-fire success amongst Blossoms fans. Back to Stockport will feature an array of behind the scenes footage, personal interviews with each band member, and live footage of some of their best tracks. Live performances of Charlamagne, Blow, My Favourite Room, There’s A Reason Why and Girlfriend are all confirmed features on Back to Stockport.
Blossoms took to social media to announce the fast-approaching arrival of Back to Stockport. Taking to Instagram, the band posted a 2-minute clip of the documentary. This provoked an ecstatic reaction from fans, as the video has received over 15,000 views.
Blossoms released their third studio album, Foolish Loving Spaces, in January of this year. Foolish Loving Spaces is a ten-track record and contains songs such as My Vacant Days, Falling for Someone and The Keeper.
Back to Stockport is set for release on November 8th.
