The Everyman Screen on the Green
Everyman website

Recently refurbished with excellent sound system and reduced capacity for extra comfort.

We've always fantasised at The Local that it would be amazing to put on shows in a cinema and to blend film and music in a live event. We're delighted to be able to work with the excellent Everyman Screen on the Green for this series of events which is special beyond all belief! How about some fantastic live music, a classic film, in comfy seats with a fancy schmancy bar at the back. Got it.

These shows are going to rule!

Caitlin Rose
Caitlin at Myspace
Nashville's Caitlin Rose tells stories of an evolving country. The stories are old themes voiced with a new ease and energetic pace. In the way that writing about evolution is no longer about getting richer, sleeker, or more efficient. Hers are evolutionary stories in surprising but truthful directions, where sometimes dead flowers mean so much more than live ones. It's the sound of a future grown out of the past, but not out of its expectations.
"Terrific from start to finish" - Uncut
"Her voice is extraordinary" - The Guardian

Badlands
Badlands Trailer
He was 25 years old. He combed his hair like James Dean. She was 15. She took music lessons and could twirl a baton. For a while they lived together in a tree house. In 1959, she watched while he killed a lot of people.

Badlands is narrated from the perspective of Holly (Spacek), a teenage girl living in a dead-end South Dakota town. One day she meets Kit (Sheen), a rebellious young greaser who sweeps her off her feet and takes her as his accomplice on a cross-country killing spree. Holly's narration, describing her adventures with Kit with romantic cliches, is juxtaposed with the grim reality of Kit's sociopathic appetite for grisly violence.
