Screening:March 28th 2020

‘The Pretty Things: The Final Bow’ features David Gilmour and Van Morrison at The Pretty Things’ final concert, which brings the curtain down on a ground-breaking musical career spanning over 55 years. Founded by an ex-Rolling Stone; Dick Taylor along with superb vocalist Phil May, The Pretty Things were so raucous and rebellious that they made the Stones seem sedate by comparison.

There will also be a Q&A and acoustic set from Phil May and Dick Taylor.

Screening:March 29th 2020

The story of London’s toughest and poorest part as told through the eyes of its most iconic band, Cockney Rejects:East End Babylon is a modern classic. From the bombs that flew in World War II and from the greatest industrial docks the world ever saw, to the formation of the original and best Terrace Band of them all, the battles, living outside the law, the wilderness years of both the band and the area that spawned them, and eventually to the rebirth and transformation of the band into a worldwide cult, this is the rockumentary to beat them all. This is East End Babylon!

There will also be a Q&A on the night with Director Richard England and Cockney Rejects’ Mick Geggus and Jeff Turner.

Screening:March 29th 2020
