Boff Whalley

The biggest night in the British music calendar, the BRIT Awards celebrate the biggest successes in music & promote new talent.

Part music documentary, part unflinching character study, part a punk version of ‘A Christmas Carol’ - I Get Knocked Down is the funny, surreal, and deeply human untold story of Chumbawamba and its ex-front man Dunstan Bruce.

A potted and often hilarious history of Chumbawamba. Footage and interviews from the last two decades retrace the band's history through its early days of communal living, getting through the Thatchers years, and emerging in the nineties wiser and unrepentant. The story of how they surprised themselves and everybody else by selling 5 million albums in the USA. This is an ongoing punk saga in an age of manufactured bands.

Filmed at Leeds City Varieties in December 2012 and released in 2013, “Going, Going” records the final gig of anarchist punk band Chumbawumba before they split up, bringing to an end a 30–year career.

In May 2021, Daniel Bye and Boff Whalley set off from Northam Burrows, on Devon’s north coast. They aimed to run 120 miles to the south coast, finishing in Dartmouth. They stopped along the way in fields, farm yards, chapels, barns and orchards, to perform their show ‘These Hills Are Ours’. The Wild Tour of Devon was a celebration of everything we’d all been unable to do over the past year: perform live, sing together, and run in places too wild to be accessible from our front doors. It’s a comeback tour with a difference.
