Starring: Benjamin Lavernhe, Pierre Lottin, Sarah Suco

Internationally renowned conductor Thibaut (Lavernhe) travels the world with the Lille Symphony Orchestra. Finding out that he was adopted, he discovers he has younger brother, Jimmy (Lottin), who works in a school cafeteria and plays trombone in a marching band. While they seem to be worlds apart, their unwavering love of music unites them in difficult circumstances.

A feel good crowd-pleasing French spin on Brassed Off.

Double bill with a French style buffet.

We are showing two highly rated  films together with a French style buffet.

The second film (The Marching Band) will start at 8.30 pm. The ticket price is £18. This is a members-only event and includes both films, the buffet, and wine. People can come just for the buffet and the first or second film if they prefer.
