Box Office 01904 658338 NCEM 05 October November Friday 28 October | 7.30pm Vampyr (Carl Th. Dreyer/Germany/ 1932/ 73”) An early Halloween event with one of the greatest horror films of all time. Traveller and explorer of the supernatural, Allan Gray, arrives at an old inn in a village that is in the thrall of vampiric activity. Limited (and subtitled) dialogue is secondary to the extraordinary technical effects that create a world of shadows where all is not as it appears. Dreyer (who also directed The Passion of Joan of Arc) said that he ‘wanted to create a waking dream on screen and show that horror is not to be found in the things around us but in our own subconscious.’ To ease the tension, the evening includes a glass of wine provided by Geoff Walker Wine Shop and a cheese platter from Love Cheese. Tickets £14.00 to include a glass of wine/juice and cheese platter Tuesday 1 November | 7.30pm O'Hooley & Tidow With a personal invite from Billy Bragg to play at Glastonbury, sessions on 6 Music and Radio 2 and a five star live review and feature in The Guardian, O’Hooley & Tidow are now regarded as one of English folk’s mightiest combinations. They will be showcasing material from their new album ‘Shadows’, the follow-up to ground-breaking 2014 release ‘The Hum’ which earned them a place in Mojo’s Top 10 Folk Albums and a Best Duo nomination in the BBC Folk Awards. Their originality and skill, inviting comparison with such celebrated harmony duos as early Simon and Garfunkel or the iconic Kate and Anna McGarrigle, Belinda and Heidi’s powerful, deeply moving, and soulful performances are infused with an honesty and empathy that will disarm the hardest of hearts. ‘Formidably brilliant’ The Independent Promoted in association with the Black Swan Folk Club Tickets £14.00 (concs £12.00) Student Standby £5.00 available 15 minutes before this concert www.ohooleyandtidow.com 06 NCEM Book Tickets Now...

Highly active throughout the UK scene, Laura has developed a formidable reputation as one of the most creative young musicians to emerge from the UK in recent years. It is her ability to combine the sweet with the abrasive, the soothing with the fiery, that makes her music so compelling. Her band’s debut album ‘Together, As One’ will be released on Edition Records this autumn. ‘…a musician who embraces melody, harmony and groove as much as she provokes with blasts of dissonance and gutsy angularity’ All About Jazz Tickets £15.00 (concs £13.00; students £5.00) www.laurajurd.com Sunday 13 November | 2.00pm The Battle of the Somme (77” / PG) Shot on the battlefield over a fortnight by two cameramen, this film shows the build up to the battle, the battle itself and its immediate aftermath. It was the first graphic depiction of trench warfare and although it contains some distressing images the overall impression given is that the battle was a success. Some 20 million people flocked to see the film in the first six weeks after it was released in August 1916. The screening of a powerful documentary demonstrated that cinema going was not just mass entertainment but could also be a more serious form of communication. Digitally restored by the Imperial War Museum in 2008, The Battle of the Somme is screened with a contemporary score by Laura Rossi, performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra. The war memorial in St Margaret’s lists 55 men from the area who died in the First World War, 12 of whom perished on the Somme. The film will be contextualised with a small exhibition about Walmgate at the time of the Great War. Tickets Free (available in advance or on the door) 08 NCEM Book Tickets Now...
