Charlie is My Darlin’ and public interview
with Andrew Loog Oldham
Producer of the Rolling Stones
‘The Rolling Stones are not just a group - they are a way
of life’.
Andrew Loog Oldham, 1964
So said Andrew Loog Oldham, legendary manager of The Rolling Stones,
in the liner notes on the band’s first album in 1964. Even he
could hardly have realized how prophetic those words would turn out
to be.
In September 1965 the Stones toured Ireland and Oldham had Peter Whitehead
film the tour. The result was the documentary, ‘Charlie is my
Darlin’ - an hour long film which features a behind the scenes
look at the Stones on the road (including a tipsy Mick impersonating
Elvis!), interviews with the band and concert footage of the Dublin
gig which ended in chaos after 20 minutes.
The film is well known to Rolling Stones fans but it has never been
shown before in the Republic of Ireland. As such the Kerry Film Festival
is pleased to give all Stones fans, and the general public, a chance
to see this film for the first time.
And afterwards ... The Film Club
10.30pm - 12.30am, Brandon Hotel
