Stockport heroes Blossoms have announced an upcoming documentary focusing on their gig at Stockport County FC's football ground Edgeley Park in June 2019. The band - Tom Ogden, Charlie Salt, Josh Dewhurst, Joe Donovan and Myles Kellock - performed the homecoming gig on 22nd June 2019.

The documentary, entitled Back To Stockport, will show behind-the-scenes footage, interviews with the band as well as performances of their songs like 'I Can’t Stand It', 'Your Girlfriend' and 'Charlemagne' amongst others.

Back To Stockport will be released on Amazon Prime Video on 8th November, directed by friend of the band Charlie Watts - who was able to capture more intimate moments than normal thanks to his personal relationship with the band members.

Blossoms said of the doc, "We’ve 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.

"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 added, "This is a project that has been very close to my heart for the last 18 months. Given my personal relationship with the band and the town itself, it was hugely important to me that the film delivered!

"I’ve been filming the lads since they started out, so it has been surreal to see their rise to such success - but not surprising! To be able to make a film about them playing to a sold-out show in our home tome 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."

After the release of their third album 'Foolish Loving Spaces' in January this year, Blossoms got busy in lockdown - recording a double album entitled 'In Isolation/Live From The Plaza Theatre, Stockport', following the postponement of their tour of the same name.

This followed their self-titled debut album released in 2016, and follow-up 'Cool Like You' in 2018.
