Output (English): On New Years Eve in Liverpool, Michael Michael Angelis becomes the new manager of the Charleston Club, a rundown function hall on an industrial wasteground which, he later discovers, is owned by an organised crime syndicate. He also discovers that the previous manager, MacArthur, in an attempt to spite the halls owners, has hired it out to two groups of senior citizens for New Years Eve; one group are hardline Catholics and the other are hardline Protestants, and the entertainment consists of a magician Elvis Costello with stage fright, a homosexual comedian Pete Price and his boyfriend, a talentless punk band, and a fancy dress competition with a nonexistent prize. The two parties arrive and are joined by another group of senior citizens who are mentally handicapped and suffering from senile dementia. After discovering MacArthur being tortured in a back room by the halls owners, Michael, along with bouncer Bernard Bernard Hill and kitchen porter Cheryl Joanne Whalley, attempts to keep things in order amid the threat of violence in the air. As the night goes on, however, things start to go wrong; the comedians routine is badly received, the magician has to pull out because of the death of his rabbit, and the bands poor performance leads to the groups throwing missiles at the stage whilst the band members fight amongst themselves. Meanwhile, things begin to boil over when former Loyalist boxer Billy McCracken Ray McAnally strangles ontherun terrorist Norman Donohue Mark Mulholland to death in a toilet cubicle after Norman makes comments about McCrackens daughter marrying out, and an Orange Order marching band arrives playing sectarian tunes, leading to a mass brawl in the toilets and the discovery of Normans body. Meanwhile Michael and Cheryl begin singing If You Need Me together on stage while Bernard phones the police, who arrive and defuse the situation. The situation dies down by midnight, and the groups all go their separate ways peacefully. Michael and Cheryl share a kiss, before going back to Cheryls house together. The film ends with McCracken at home phoning his daughter and asking to speak to his soninlaw, before wishing him a happy New Year.
