Documentary following the planning and execution of Sweden's biggest music festival. Interviews with festival staff are followed by interviews and performances by the bands. This year the festival had chartered their own plane from London to bring the coolest bands in Britain to Sweden, which prompted television personality Henrik Schyffert to quip "If this plane crashes the hottest band in England will be Marillion"

Hungry film cameras first began following The Wonder Stuff in June 1990 and finally left them alone on a cold November night in 1991. They followed the wandering minstrels across two continents in a savage ten thousand mile, seventeen month journey to the heart of the groove machine. Fourty thousand feet of celluloid later, the result is 'Welcome To The Cheap Seats'. A rock 'n' roll experience nestling somewhere between 'Slade In Flame' and 'Coronation Street'. The Stuffies swap insights for insults as they discover Tartan, Polka Dot and Stadium Rock in a tale that captures the band on stage and off-guard. The ten-legged's adventures canter to a soundtrack bustling with old favourites, brand new tunes, and a few classic humdingers they wish they'd penned. The film offers but a brief glimpse into the hurly burly, hussle bussle, day to day life of ordinary rock folk. Play Loud!
