The Story Of Lover's Rock (12A)
Friday 2nd December at 8:00pm
Lovers Rock, often dubbed 'romantic reggae' is a uniquely black British sound that developed in the late '70s and '80s against a backdrop of riots, racial tension and sound systems. Featuring live performances, comedy sketches, dance, interviews and archive material this film explores the music and the generation that embraced it. The influences on bands like The Police and UB40, underline the impact the music was making in bridging the multi-cultural gap that polarized the times. The film sheds light on a forgotten period of British music, social and political history.
