Dave Fishwick confirms Burnley music venue the Talbot and Def Leppard will feature in Netflix Bank of Dave sequelThe Talbot – Burnley’s much-mourned live music venue – will be beamed around the world when it plays an important part in the new Bank of Dave movie currently being filmed in the town.By Dominic Collis Published 20th Mar 2024 The pub in Church Street, which closed several years ago, has played host to countless local bands over the years, and is set to go out with a bang when legendary British rockers Def Leppard reprise their role in the sequel to the Netflix hit and perform at the venue. The inclusion of the Talbot was a personal request from the eponymous hero Dave Fishwick who admitted to the Burnley Express today that he “got some stick” from the public when the original film featured a pub in Leeds rather than a local watering-hole. “It was very important to me this time that the new film would include a Burnley pub,” Dave said. “In fact, before I signed on the dotted line, I insisted on a Burnley pub. I got a bit of stick for the film using a Leeds pub last time out. That pub was very close to the studio in Leeds and so it made sense, but this time I insisted on a Burnley one.” Dave also revealed that the pub had to be one where he had drunk himself in the past. “I was delighted when we were allowed to film at the Talbot. I’ve drunk in there several times in the past. When I was builder’s labourer more than 30 years ago on day release I would go in for a pint. It’s also brilliant that Def Leppard are returning for the sequel.” Dave, who went on to describe the experience of Netflix making another film about his life as “bonkers”, said the new film would be bigger and more dramatic, with a number of US stars including Rob Delaney and Dan Fogler, already confirmed to be starring. “I’ve met Rob Delaney and Dan Fogler, and some of the other new cast members from the States. They are all lovely people, really kind. It’s bonkers that Burnley will be beamed around the world again. I will be making an appearance as well which is just surreal.” Dave also revealed that Pearce Quigley will play the part of Dave’s real-life banking comrade David Henshaw. Source

Cool! Anyway, does somebody knows how the band got involved in these movies? Are they really friends with the real Dave? What is it?

I have to say that I am amazed that they are making a sequel to it. Happy to see that the Leps are involved again though. |

Yeah - I could see where they were going with it - that classic 1990s British working class solidarity film - like 'Brassed Off' or 'The Full Monty'. But BoD seemed contrived to me and lacking in sincerity - like a pale imitation or pastiche of fondly remembered classics. The subject matter is inspiring and pertinent to the times we live in, but the delivery is almost condescending at times. I laughed so much at Joe's vacant glance off screen during the climatic speech on stage. Anyway, didn't mean to turn the forum into a film appreciation (or lack thereof) thread. Suffice to say my comments wont appear on the poster! BoD is still better than Dark Realm (Johnny's Guitar)! |
