A feature film documenting all that is brilliant, and a little bit dodgy about Chorley is being shown again after packing out theatres on its release last year.

Chorley: Where People Go To Fight, the no budget, low thrills, feature length documentary starring Emmerdale star Joseph Gilgun and world champion boxer Michael Jennings is being screened on successive weekends at The Little Theatre.

The film was created by two young, local film-makers, Andrew Huddy and Ian Loughlin, who devoted hundreds of hours into creating the film, which features famous faces such as Kate Garraway, Dave Spikey and former Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown.

The film also stars many local personalities including Magic Sam, Dan the baker and Chorley’s answer to Tony Wilson, Imperial pub landlord Ivan Lynas.

The film generated almost £3,000 for Derian House at the three charity showings last October and Andrew and Ian have since re-edited the film, making it slightly shorter.

With regard to Joe’s tattoos; he has a few shamrocks, one on his right upper arm and one on his right forearm, a thistle on his left upper arm, the phrase “you’re all in it, so be proud”(Mark Herbert said it to the gang before a screening) on his right forearm, the word ‘Rural’ in olde English script running down the back of his left forearm his, “I ain’t gonna work on Maggies farm no more” running down his right upper arm and onto his forearm, two gypsy heads on his left forearm(those have colour in them), some tribal ‘nonsense’ on his right forearm, a crown on his right lower inside arm, a lighter on his inside right upper arm… there are more, including a lot of numbers but my mind has blanked.
