Breaking Rocks Tour, ft. BILLY BRAGG @ Showroom Cinema, Sheffield, 18/02

[sfeatures]

Sensoria, Sheffield's festival of Film and Music, proudly presents a living legend of British folk music,

 

BILLY BRAGG

and special guests

 

as part of the

 

BREAKING ROCKS TOUR

 

Sensoria is delighted to announce a fundraising tour of the film

Breaking Rocks with Q&A plus live acoustic set by Billy Bragg and friends.

 

Breaking Rocks is an inspiring documentary that tells the story of Jail

Guitar Doors, an initiative set up by Billy Bragg in commemoration of

Clash musician Joe Strummer. The project provides musical instruments

to prison inmates to help facilitate rehabilitation and prevent

re-offending.

 

The film features performances by 'graduates' from Jail Guitar Doors as well as from many of the artists that have supported the programme

including Mick Jones (The Clash), Chris Shiflett (Foo Fighters), Sam

Duckworth (Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly) and Billy Bragg himself.

 

This special fundraising event will include an introduction by Billy

Bragg, Q&A with filmmaker Alan Miles and Billy, plus live acoustic sets by Billy and the 'graduates' of Jail Guitar Doors. The tour kicks off at

Sheffield Showroom Cinema on Thursday 18th February, 6.30pm and follows on to

Newcastle, Derby, Nottingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Southampton and London.

 

Tickets for the Showroom event can be booked online at
