Schemers

Directed by Dave Mclean

Set in Dundee c. 1979, Schemers is based on writer-producer David McLean’s early years in the music business.

A fledgling promoter, he ambitiously booked bands with his friends John and Scot, all of them from the Dundee schemes. Young David is determined not to get a ‘real’ job. He starts out running discos and, after a run in with a local gangster, raises his ambitions to booking major bands such as Iron Maiden.

Shot in and around Dundee using local talent, Schemers celebrates youthful ambition.
