Games Evening
2023-04-14 19:00 - 22:00

Minchinhampton Movie Night: Elvis
2023-04-14 19:30 - 22:00 | Minchinhampton Market House, Market Square, Minchinhampton, GL6 9BW, United Kingdom
Our next movie at Minchinhampton Market House (delayed a bit by the Easter break) will be the biopic ‘Elvis’ starring Tom Hanks and the BAFTA ‘Best Actor’ award winner Austin Butler. More than a mere jukebox movie, this film tells the story of Elvis from the point of view of the singer’s enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker, who apparently was neither a Colonel nor a Parker. The Colonel was born Andreas Cornelis van Kuijik in the Netherlands and entered the USA illegally when he was 20. He was given the honorary title of colonel by the governor of Louisiana as a reward for Parker’s political support. As this is a fairly long film (153 minutes) we will be dispensing with our usual ‘B’ movie format and providing a short intermission approximately half way though the main feature. The film is directed by the talented Australian film maker Baz Luhrmann (Strictly Ballroom, Romeo+Juliet, Moulin Rouge!, Australia and The Great Gatsby.)
‘ELVIS’ at Minchinhampton Market House 7.30pm Friday April 14th. Tickets £6 from The Market Stores (cash only) available from Monday March 20th.

Swing from Paris (UK Jazz Quartet)
2023-04-15 19:30 - 22:30 | Minchinhampton Market House, Market Square, Minchinhampton, GL6 9BW, United Kingdom
Often described as ‘the finest gypsy jazz in the Cotswolds’, Swing from Paris are a UK quartet of violin, guitars and double bass. Influenced by Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, they’ve been seen on the BBC’s Hairy Bikers, have appeared at major jazz festivals including Cheltenham, Brecon and the Django Reinhardt Festival at Samois sur Seine, and have even performed at the opening of a service station for the pleasure of Prince Charles. They present their own versions of music from across Europe and beyond – featuring music by Edith Piaf, Gershwin, Charles Trenet, and the Hot Club de France. Their latest album, Webster, received airplay on BBC radio. Expect stylish jazz and vintage swing.
