The legendary Eric's club is home to the city's rebels, posers and misfits. It's a place of attitude, adventure and new possibilities, and it changes lives. Some become pop stars; Penny Kiley becomes a music journalist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe story traces Penny's relationship with the music scene from the turbulent political 1980s into the changing culture of the 21st century.
