Blondel Medieval & Renaissance wind band playing music from the 14th-16th centuries on shawms, bagpipes and recorders.
What makes a song leap across national boundaries and language barriers, slip from the secular to the ecclesiastic, and remain at the top of the charts for more than 70 years?

In order to honour the passing of Gene Hackman, we will be showing one of his greatest performances as Harry Moseby in Arthur Penn’s hard boiled classic - Night Moves. Hackman oozes world-weary cynicism as a private detective in search of an actress’s missing daughter, stumbling on a world of conspiracy.
