This week’s special film is The Story of Lovers’ Rock (12A), an unusual and characteristic film about the uniquely black British music that developed in the late 70s and 80s. It includes live performance, comedy sketches, dances, interviews and vibrant archive footage of the music and the generation that grew up with it. Interviews include Levi Roots, Linton Kwesi Johnson, UB40, Maxi Priest, Janet Kay and Angie Le Mar. See http://www.loversrockthefilm.com for the unofficial trailer. It is directed by Menelik Shabazz, sometimes dubbed the Spike Lee of black British cinema, best known for his award-winning film Burning An Illusion.

Event  - Friday 30th:  eighties hit singer and musician JUNIOR GISCOMBE (Mama Used to Say) will present this multi-cultural story that polarized the times of this forgotten period of music and stay on to do a Q&A after the film.
