Great Fire Community Spirit Season: Local Hero

Northampton Filmhouse

Screening Dates: Sun 15 June 3:45pm Director: Bill Forsyth Starring: Burt Lancaster, Peter Riegert, Peter Capaldi, Denis Lawson, Fulton Mackay Knox Oil and Gas of Houston is far removed from the North Sea oil it desires – and the sleepy Scottish seaside village it wants to buy and replace with a refinery. So Knox sends its ace dealmaker (Peter Riegert) to negotiate. He finds cheerful future millionaires, awesome northern lights, a lusty innkeeper, a stubborn beachcomber and a mermaid with webbed toes. Forsyth’s touch is perfect: whether showing us a tycoon (Burt Lancaster) with his head in the stars or bridging generations at an all-night ceilidh dance. 37 on the BFI’s Top 100 British films Purchase Tickets

The Searchers: Thank You Tour

Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

Retirement does not come easy for The Searchers. Thus far they have completed no less than three ‘final’ tours. That was to be it, no more. But Never Say Never, has been their motto and only something very special could change their minds. Well, just such a thing has happened. They will include many of their long list of successes such as Sweets For My Sweet, Sugar & Spice, Needles & Pins, What Have They Done To The Rain? Love Potion Number 9, Don`t Throw Your Love Away, and so many more. Officially named last year as the longest serving pop group in British history they have toured continually over 67 years since choosing the title of the classic 1957 John Wayne movie as a name for their skiffle group. In 1963 they shot to number one in the UK charts with their first single Sweets For My Sweet and the rest is history.
