One of Britain’s most cherished and inventive music creators Ed Harcourt will hit the road this autumn to tour behind an upcoming new release.

Making his debut with the Mercury Prize-nominated Here Be Monsters in 2001, Harcourt has released music under his own name that blends raw emotions, impeccable songwriting and visionary flights of imagination. A succession of ten rich, enthralling albums have followed that first spark of his, including the intoxicating addictive Strangers in 2004, 2013’s breathless Back Into The Woods which was recorded in just eight hours, and Furnaces which compellingly and entreatingly envisioned family ties confronted by the small matter of the apocalypse. After that LP in 2016, Harcourt then moved to explore the instrumental sphere with recent soundscape albums Beyond The End and Monochrome To Colour. In 2024 he released his latest full length album El Magnifico to massive critical acclaim on both sides of the pond.

Adults £8 / Under 18 £2

Friday Film Club is back for a new season with this magnificent, Cannes-winning, widescreen paean to the enduring relationship between man and dog.

Recently released from jail, brooding loner Lang (Eddie Peng) returns to his hometown in Northwest China. As part of his rehabilitation order, he is required to join a dog catching gang, tasked with cleaning up the streets before the coming Bejing Olympics. As Lang patrols the city’s decaying estates on the charred fringes of the Gobi desert, he encounters a black greyhound with a price on it’s head and their adventure begins.

Shot through with cool, cloudy, slow-moving images, Black Dog is a heartwarmer, framed with real grandeur and a wry sense of the absurd. Compassionate but never cloying and a total must-see, whether you’re a dog lover or not!

Black Dog is in Mandarin with English subtitles. There will be a short introduction to set the scene.

His live show ‘Rogue Teacher’, which he is performing at Manx Litfest, is currently in development as a feature film with Studio Canal.

As the self-proclaimed Rogue Teacher of his show’s title, Mark left his career as an English teacher to try and pursue his love of words more directly as a poet, and it’s these stages of his life, along with the inadvertent rap battles that brought him to the public’s attention, that make up the majority of this show.

2025-10-03 19:30
Admission £20 / Under 18s £2 Buy a ticket for both nights at the same time and pay only £35 (click “continue shopping” after first booking)

The Dan Forshaw Quartet – New York Jazz

Two decades ago, award-winning saxophonist Dan Forshaw stood on the Williamsburg Bridge in New York, horn in hand, following in the footsteps of Sonny Rollins. Fresh from studying with jazz legends Branford Marsalis, Eric Alexander and Dave Liebman, Forshaw absorbed the spirit of a city where jazz isn’t history – it’s lived experience. Now, 20 years later, his new quartet project reflects on that formative time with music shaped by the energy of New York and the depth of personal journey.

This isn’t nostalgia – it’s a celebration of how far you can travel in music, in thought, in tone. Forshaw’s saxophone voice, refined over years of playing across clubs, cathedrals and concert halls, still carries echoes of those intense New York days. The Quartet brings that sound to life with a mix of original compositions and reworked classics, drawing lines from Coltrane to today. Expect sharp interplay, melodic clarity and moments of raw, honest power. These aren’t museum pieces – they’re living, breathing statements, played by a musician who has always treated jazz as a conversation across time and place.

It started on the bridge. It continues here. A must for sax lovers everywhere!

Support comes from local party starters, The Blue Train Big Band, launching the festival with a rousing set of swinging stompers. Bright shirts and big tunes guaranteed to get your feet moving!

Lucy (vocals/piano) will be joined by EAC regular Beccy Rork (saxophone), Andy Williams (guitar), Terry Pack (bass) and Milo Fell (drums). Whether you’re a jazz fan or an aficionado of that golden singer-songwriter era, you will not want to miss this!

Support comes from The Stillmen, a local ensemble under the leadership of pianist and arranger John Stillman, who will warm you up with a selection of mainstream and progressive jazz standards. The band features saxes, double bass, drums, guitar and piano and the band have been rehearsing relentlessly all year with this performance in mind!

The Dan Forshaw Quartet – New York Jazz

Midweek Movie: Black Bag (15) (matinee & evening screening)
2025-10-15 14:00
Adults £8 / Under 18s £2

What better way to take your mind off the cold mornings and darkening nights than a stylish, sexy, spy thriller!

Playing like an update to cold-war classic Bridge of Spies, Black Bag is an elegantly crafted, impeccably tailored story of intrigue and deception.

George Woodhouse (Michael Fassbender), plays an MI6 spy tasked with investigating a group of his co-workers, one of whom has supposedly leaked top-secret code with the potential to destabilize a government. His main problem is that the primary suspect is his wife and fellow MI6 operative Kathryn St. Jean (Cate Blanchett).

The two leads are masterful, contrasting their cold exteriors with a fiery chemistry and are backed by a stellar cast of chaotic personalities.

At a brisk 94 minutes, writer David Koepp (Mission Impossible, Jurassic Park) and director Steven Soderbergh make every second count, with smart dialogue and fluid camera movement keeping the tension high throughout.

Perfect for keeping the Autumn blues on hold!

Met Opera: La Somnambula (Bellini)
2025-10-25 17:55
Tickets £15 / Unders 18s £2

The New York Met Opera launches it’s new season with this breathtaking production of Vincenzo Bellini’s La Somnambula (The Sleepwalker).

Following triumphant Met turns in Roméo et Juliette, La Traviata, and Lucia di Lammermoor, Nadine Sierra summits another peak of the soprano repertoire as Amina, who sleepwalks her way into audiences’ hearts in Bellini’s poignant tale of love lost and found. In his new production, director Rolando Villazón, retains the opera’s original setting in the Swiss Alps but uses its somnambulant plot to explore the emotional and psychological valleys of the mind. Tenor Xabier Anduaga returns after his acclaimed 2023 Met debut in L’Elisir d’Amore, co-starring as Amina’s fiancé Elvino, alongside soprano Sydney Mancasola as her rival, Lisa, and bass Alexander Vinogradov as Count Rodolfo. Riccardo Frizza takes the podium for one of opera’s most ravishing works.

This stunning, modern production features exclusive, live backstage footage and cast interviews shown during the intervals. A buffet is served during the break. Feel free to dress for the occasion!

As part of our Hop Tu Naa Horror weekend (Fri 31st Oct – Sat 1st Nov), we’re excited to bring you the original horror classic Nosferatu from 1922, now soundtracked with Radiohead’s Kid A & Amnesiac albums! Book your seat to celebrate the spookiest night of the year.

Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0Wzp7YGHvs

Radiohead x Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror

Silents Synced pairs classic silent movies with epic rock music to bring audiences a unique big screen experience. This reimagining of the iconic Nosferatu (1922) features Radiohead’s Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001) albums.

An unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Nosferatu (1922) is the quintessential silent vampire film, crafted by legendary German director F. W. Murnau. Rather than depicting Dracula as a shape-shifting monster or debonair gentleman, Murnau’s Graf Orlok (as portrayed by Max Schreck) is a nightmarish, spidery creature of bulbous head and taloned claws — perhaps the most genuinely disturbing incarnation of vampirism yet envisioned.

Don’t miss out on the chance to experience this imaginative new take on an iconic horror classic on Hop Tu Naa night!
