EVENT POSTPONED Friday 19th September

Unfortunately we have had to postpone the planned screening of ‘Ballad of Wallis Island’. This is due to the lack of availability of a license (or DVD/BluRay disc), as we had expected. We think this due to an extended theatrical release for this successful film.

We hope to be able to reschedule the screening later in the year. All bookings will be refunded or offered the option to retain their ticket for a future screening.

Saturday 20th September (Evening)

Marsden Mechanics 7.30pm (doors & bar) – The Brothers Gillespie
Described by Folk Radio UK as ‘weaving an especially compelling magic’, and ‘showing British acoustic music in its best possible light’, Northumbrian duo, The Brothers Gillespie make music that is animated by lyrical song-writing, fine fingerstyle guitar playing, multi-instrumental musicianship and ‘the glorious tones of their blood harmony’.
