Musical Comedy ‘The Cocksure Lads’ Film Coming to Library Theatre<br />
by Janet Kilgannon for Moose Jaw Express<br />
Great Big Sea’s Murray Foster brings his musical comedy<br />
‘The Cocksure Lads Movie’ to Moose Jaw on Saturday,<br />
October 24th, 2015. The venue will be the Moose<br />
Jaw Public Library Theatre at 7 pm. Foster wrote and<br />
directed the movie, as well as the songs that propel the<br />
‘Lads’ to pop celebrity.<br />
The Cocksure Lads Movie is a feature-length film about<br />
an English band on the cusp of stardom who arrive in Toronto<br />
for their first-ever North American tour. Ten minutes<br />
after arriving, they get into a fight over royalties and<br />
break up. Over the course of a day that showcases many<br />
of Toronto’s unique neighbourhoods, they learn what it<br />
means to be a band - but it remains to be seen if they can<br />
patch things up before their big show.<br />
The film stars Lyndon Ogbourne, best known as bad boy<br />
Nathan Wylde on the UK soap opera Emmerdale. The<br />
strong supporting cast are known British and Canadian<br />
actors, as well as up-and-coming talent. There are also<br />
cameos by musicians Kendel Carson, Walk Off the Earth,<br />
and Alan Doyle (Great Big Sea).<br />
The movie grew out of dozens of Britpop songs that<br />
musician Murray Foster and his musical cohort Mike<br />
Ford have written over the past two decades. In the mid-<br />
1990’s they were both members of the Canadian folkpop<br />
group Moxy Fruvous, known for its sweet harmonies<br />
and witty lyrics. They began to write songs in the genre<br />
of early 60’s Britpop (think Gerry and the Pacemakers,<br />
Herman’s Hermits, early Beatles).<br />
In 2010, they went into the studio to record their 25 best<br />
tunes, creating an alter-ego group, and coming out with<br />
‘The Greatest Hits of the Cocksure Lads, 1963-1968.’<br />
Foster says “It was time to bring back the 60’s type of<br />
music, as our homage to that era. The movie is a natural<br />
extension of the songs we have been writing and recording.<br />
It is a believable, likeable story that has wide-ranging<br />
appeal.”<br />
The dialogue is sweet and funny. “We’re here to conquer<br />
America and become wildly rich and famous,” says Ogbourne.<br />
“You do know this is Canada, right?” responds<br />
a Toronto local. “Yes, but we’re kind of like the Beatles<br />
meets, uh, somebody else...”<br />
There is also a Saskatchewan connection to this film. Executive<br />
Producer Tamara Doerksen grew up on a farm on<br />

The movie poster celebrates its British pop theme.<br />
the outskirts of the village of Eyebrow, SK. She attended<br />
college in Moose Jaw, then moved to Toronto in 1984 to<br />
pursue a career in information technology. She will attend<br />
the movie screening and will lead a Q&A following<br />
the show.<br />
“In 2009, I launched the children’s charity Lonny’s Smile<br />
Foundation in memory of my brother Lonny, who passed<br />
away in 1971 at the age of five, at the Hospital for Sick<br />
Children in Toronto after surgery to correct a congenital<br />
heart defect,” says Doerksen. “In 2012, Murray Foster<br />
became the host of our annual benefit rock concert.”<br />
It was a good match. In 2013, Foster asked Doerksen<br />
to lead the fundraising efforts for his debut feature film.<br />
As Executive Producer of the film, Tamara created an<br />
innovative, multi-faceted fundraising strategy to collect<br />
$200,000 in private investment funding. Then, she went<br />
on CBC’s Dragons’ Den show and successfully pitched<br />
her movie in front of over two million viewers.<br />
The film has been well-received at festivals worldwide<br />
including the Whistler Film Festival, and the Shanghai<br />
