Wiki.
Live It Up! is a British musical film (US release title: Sing and Swing) that starred David Hemmings and was released in 1963. It was filmed at Pinewood Studios and featured musical acts from numerous contributors, including Gene Vincent, Jenny Moss, the Outlaws, Patsy Ann Noble, the Saints and Heinz Burt (most of them being produced by Joe Meek, who wrote the film's theme) among others, most notably Kenny Ball and His Jazzmen. The film also featured young actor Steve Marriott (later a well-known singer and guitarist with Small Faces and Humble Pie). Another actor, Mitch Mitchell, later became the drummer of The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
The film was quite successful, so much so that two years later, actor Hemmings and director Lance Comfort followed up with a sequel titled Be My Guest.
