TheBeatIsLaw Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Looking forward to tonight's screening/gig. The O2 Academy was where a sponsorship appeal was held to raise some money to make the film. That was in October 2008. 2 Years later the final part of The Beat Is The Law project is about to be shown. What we always wanted was for the screening to be like a gig experience with bands, so its great that Yonni -with Nort, who is featured in both part 1 and 2 of the film in the band Hula, together with The Cuckoo Clocks, featuring Paul Infante - the singer in Treebound Story (Richard Hawley's first band and also featured in the Beat Is The Law film), plus members of Oblong and Chloe Simmons are all up for it. Hope those that go have a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
