The Noise Cavalry is a new British alternative rock band based in Manchester, England, combining classic rock with energetic electro.  The first album is due for release later this year.

Growing Old Gracefully, the first single from The Noise Cavalry, will be used as the title track in new British feature film Growing Old Gracefully, a new comedy drama musical with Principal Photography on location in Manchester, England.  Additional music from The Noise Cavalry will feature on the Soundtrack and score.  

Based on a true story, partly autobiographical, and set in the early 1960s in Manchester, the story centres on a rather unforgettable trip for 54 year old, undiscovered singer songwriter Paul, who ventures into the audience at the cabaret club of rising new comedy star Rudy Chalmer to experience an evening’s entertainment of comedy and music.  

 

But what starts off as a night of controversial comedy from Chalmer, gradually unfolds into a series of bizarre, surreal and unexplainable events involving politically incorrect conduct, chaos, confusion, farce, absurdist incidents and unexpectedly jaw-dropping surprises.  

 

Many puzzling questions inescapably arise, such as ; why are the Beatles, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison and Laurel & Hardy still unknown and without any success in showbusiness, and why are they all looking for their first big break on the same dingy evening at Rudy Chalmer's modest little Comedy Shack in the wrong, deprived part of urban Manchester?  

 

Why are they all 54 years old?  And why do they all have an unsettling physical resemblance to Paul?  Why is Rudy so verbally brutal and totally ruthless in his confrontations with all these apparently big name, familiar faces?  

 

Is Paul about to get his own big break, taking over on stage when an unknown and disillusioned 54 year old Elvis Presley’s precarious pelvis forces him to prematurely halt his performance in agony and leave the building?  Is Paul about to personally rewrite the shape and history of culture and pop music legend?  

 

Growing Old Gracefully is a comedy drama musical with a startling difference where weird things are constantly happening and bringing the events of history, the past and the future, especially for some of the biggest names in showbusiness, into shocking uncertainty.    

 

The film combines elements of Back To The Future, The Wizard of Oz and Wierd Al Yankovic with moments of moving drama interweaving surreal, slapstick and physical comedy.   The movie is being shot in both black and white and colour on 5K digital cine cameras. It will be entered for International Film Festivals with a view to acquiring worldwide distribution and features several songs (original and classic hits covers) a music score and special effects.  

 

Actors appearing in the movie include; Jenet Le Lacheur: (Harry Potter And The Cursed Child, RSC), Alan Hay: (Avenue Q, Sweeney Todd), Farrel Hegarty (My Dinner With Herve', Emmerdale) and Rosalyn Mitchell: (Aeon Flux, Seven Devils).
