“At the core of Penny Lane is Terry O’Neill — a man whose passion for soccer, music, and community helped shape one of Richmond’s most beloved gathering spots.”
That’s what studio Dead Set FC said about the shining star of “Big Scouse,” a new documentary spotlighting one of Richmond’s living legends: the owner of Penny Lane Pub on East Franklin Street.
Not only will the film look into the life of pub owner O’Neill — we hope it touches on his run-in with John Lennon as a former Liverpudlian club bouncer — but it will also explore the loyal “third space” he’s created for soccer lovers in Richmond.
Attend the premiere
Penny Lane will host a screening of the film on Sunday morning, Feb. 8, at 10:30 a.m. Why in the morning? The Liverpool vs. Manchester City match will take over the big screens at 11:30 a.m., obviously.
