Season 1:
The satirical comedy/drama about a rock band from Glasgow begins and we're introduced to Jez and his bandmates known as Jocks Wa Hey. Jez's meeting Fiona, a DSS officer/musician, along with the band's first gig leads to something unexpected.
After a wild night together, involving the band's gig and nude guitar playing, Jez decides to ask Fiona to join Jocks Wa Hey.
Three months have passed, the band has been gigging non-stop without a sniff from a record company. Fiona and Jez confront Art who agrees to put on an industry showcase at Glasgow Barrowlands. All they have to do now is sell 500 tickets in six days, prepare for the A & R onslaught and sign a deal ... with Slick Sloan from Massive Mix Records.
In London, the band readies to make a deal with Slick Sloan. A deal which could turn them into London's next big thing.
Musician Fish guest stars as Derek Trout, a rock star whose house is being used to record Jocks Wa Hey's first big album.
