Welsh has adapted McGee’s autobiography, “Creation Stories Riots, Raves and Running a Record Label,” with his writing partner, Dean Cavanagh, for the screen.
The movie will focus on McGee’s journey after leaving school at 16, setting up the Living Room club in London, managing the Jesus and Mary Chain, and then co-founding Creation in his early 20s.
It will mainly centre on McGee and his work with bands including My Bloody Valentine, Ride and Primal Scream before his drug-induced breakdown, and then coming back to sobriety, and role in the rise of Oasis.
