Join us for a very special event celebrating the importance of brass bands in coalfield communities.

Focusing around a screening of the beloved film Brassed Off, this evening will showcase the power, solidarity and friendships formed by brass bands.

When Gloria is sent by her power company to assess the condition of a coal mine in her former hometown, her arrival injects a new lease of life in the local band which prepares for a national competition. A screening of Brassed Off will form the centrepiece of our exciting evening.

The film will be preceeded by a unique performance from Shirebook Miners' Welfare B Band, bringing to life pieces of music from the film.

One night in his near-empty tower block in contemporary London, Adam (Andrew Scott) has a chance encounter with a mysterious neighbor Harry (Paul Mescal), which punctures the rhythm of his everyday life. As a relationship develops between them, Adam is preoccupied with memories of the past and finds himself drawn back to the suburban town where he grew up, and the childhood home where his parents (Claire Foy and Jamie Bell), appear to be living, just as they were on the day they died, 30 years before.

What happened next became the stuff of legend. Only 50 years later did the full story emerge -- Kempton had spun a web of lies. The only truth was that he was a good man, determined to change the world and save his marriage -- how and why he used the Duke to achieve that is a wonderfully uplifting tale.

Children can be such monsters.
