We have a hell of a night planned for Friday 11th October - we are so excited to show the fiercely original Irish language hip-hop biopic Kneecap followed by live music from pioneering Welsh beat-boxer and live looping artist Mr Phormula!!~~~~~
Of the 80,000 native Irish speakers, 6,000 live in the North of Ireland and three of them became a rap group called Kneecap. This is the real life story of how this anarchic Belfast trio became the unlikely figureheads of a civil rights movement to save and reinvigorate their mother tongue.
"This is not just a film about rap music, this is a film about Irish culture, heritage and language, and how once upon a time it was a crime to be irish in Ireland."

From 9pm, we'll have music from the wickedly talented Mr Phormula. With a career as diverse as the Welsh landscape within which he is rooted, Mr Phormula’s inspired performances and vocal compositions have gained him international recognition as a leading beatboxer, rapper and producer.
The fluidity of Mr Phormula’s bilingualism is distinctive and this, along with slick rhythms, compelling bass lines and vocal dexterity, have earned him a broad and committed fanbase from across Cymru, the UK and the USA. Titles include being the current Welsh Looping champion and in 2013 he was the Vice UK Looping Champion.
~~~~~
As usual, the live music will be free/pay what you feel - standard tickets apply for the film. Gather your crew and come down for a fantastic night celebrating the glorious union of pioneering music and honouring native culture.
