Description

 20th Century Britain 16x9 2

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
