Listen Later

Alongside his partner Lisa Barros D'Sa, Glenn Leyburn has directed a number of incredible films. The likes of 'Good Vibrations' which focused on Belfast punk legend Terri Hooley, 'Cherry Bomb' which featured Rupert Grint and Robert Sheehan and 'Ordinary Love' with Liam Neeson.


However, before all that Glenn was a designer and worked closely with David Holmes on his iconic sugar sweet club nights in Belfast. As part of our first live podcast and in collaboration with Output Festival I chatted with glenn about his journey from belfast to the states and back and how a call from Bono resulted in a film being made.


Glenn is currently working on a film called 'Saipan' about the infamous bust up between Roy Keane and Mick McCarthy at the 2002 world cup.
