Wednesday 17th October 2012. Doors: 7.30pm for 8.00pm
Stop Making Sense: (Dir. Johnathan Demme, 1984) 88 mins
Featuring Talking Heads live on stage this ground breaking film was shot over the course of three nights at Hollywood’s Pantages Theater as the group toured their album Speaking in Tongues. The film has been hailed as “one of the greatest music films ever made" with the stage set and David Byrne's oversized suit now iconic.

Sign O The Times - Prince (Dir. Prince, 1987) 85 mins
A 1987 film written and directed by Prince at the pinnacle of his career to promote the best selling album of the same name. This highly theatrical, fast paced concert is a wonderful testament to the talent of Prince the showman and is a non-stop powerhouse from beginning to glitter-ball end.

Wednesday 14th November 2012: Doors: 7.30pm for 8.00pm
30 Century Man - Scott Walker (Dir. Stephen Kljak, 2006) 95 mins.
30 Century Man is a critically acclaimed 2006 documentary film about influential singer/songwriter Scott Walker, charting his intriguing career via rare archive footage, studio scenes and contributions from admirers including David Bowie, Jarvis Cocker, Brian Eno, Alison Goldfrapp & Johnny Marr among others.

Wednesday 21st November 2012: Doors: 7.30pm for 8.00pm
The Last Waltz (Dir. Martin Scorsese, 1978) 117 mins
Often hailed as one of the best concert films ever made The Last Waltz was a farewell to fans by legendary rock group The Band held on Thanksgiving Day 1978 at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. Filmed and directed by Martin Scorsese it features live footage, backstage scenes and many special guests joining the group on stage including Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton and Neil Young.

Saturday 24th November 2012: Doors: 7.30pm for 8.00pm
Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars (Dir. D.A Pennebaker, 1973) 90 mins
The final time that David Bowie would perform as Ziggy Stardust, this 1973 concert took place at London's Hammersmith Odeon and features live footage both on stage and behind the scenes. Capturing Bowie at his brilliant best, this film is a must for any fan of vintage seventies rock and the high glam costumes of the time. Unmissable.
