Event: 20th Century Britain through the lens of Black American Music

 

20th Century Britain 714x249

Presented as part of Black History Month.

Join us for the screening of three BBC documentaries directed by the British director, James Maycock. James’ work provides a unique perspective, at different times and places during the mid-20th Century, of the influence of Black American music and youth culture on the UK – well before the advent of either social media or Hip Hop. His work also provides a timely reminder of how music can reflect both cultural and political change in a country.

  • Northern Soul: Living for the Weekend, 7.30pm on Monday 7 October
  • The Motown Invasion, 7.30pm on Monday 7 October
  • Gershwin’s Summertime, 7.30pm on Tuesday 8 October followed by a post-screening Q&A with the Director

Tickets are £3 per person per night (admission only) to cover the cost of professional screening. The content of all three BBC documentaries is suitable for any age group.
