Silent FIlms, Spontaneous Music, and a new series of events in Hereford -

I realise its a "Music in Monmouth"  newsletter but here's a few things happening just over the border which resonate with many of you who like cutting edge "stuff". We hope to catch up with many friends and meet some new ones. Why not bring a friend or five?

A couple of showings coming up for "The Mire Archive". Much of it is shot around Monmouth and some in the Queens Head. Many of the extras were 'locally sourced' and it uses some of my music for the soundtrack.
So ...

Wednesday 6 March 2.00pm Hereford, The Courtyard

Saturday 9 March 4.30pm Malvern Theatres

Filmed in Hereford and Monmouth.
A film made by and with the filmmakers’ family, reflecting the familial narrative of the film.
All things buried will resurface. A terminally ill archeologist’s world is thrown into turmoil when forced to exhibit the 2000-year-old
body he excavated with his former student lover. As he desperately connects with his son, his relationship with his daughter
deteriorates. He concocts an ‘archaeology of the living’ and enlists the help of a young guard at the university who has his own reasons for an intense devotion to the body. His final address at the opening of the exhibition becomes the haunting soundtrack to his final act of redemption.
Directors Lynda Myer-Bennett & Clive Myer will introduce the film with Q&As to follow

The last gig of the series🥲 – a run of 18 years🤩 - and something new 🤔 -

Sean first played at the Queens on 14th March 2018. A last minute duet with Alex Ward who bought a vibrancy and originality rarely seen and heard. Since then he has bought world beating performances at every visit and has never compromised his search for the new, the diversity, or the integrity o...

Harp & Drums, Christmas Puddings, Improvised film soundtrack -

Errata: My last email stated that the Queens Head were closing on Wednesday & Sundays (as I was informed). They will actually be open on those nights - just no music.

As the nights draw in, a solitary figure runs through the streets of Monmouth searching for that delirious noise coming from St James street. Ah - its not the St James Infirmary but the Queens Head where she finds the healing sound of the Plague Doctors Cure All! pla-ddoctoriad yn gwella pob clefyd!
