What better way to mark the start of our Caribbean Musical Fridays season than by throwing a huge house party in our bar!

Tickets £14 (members) / £16 (non-members).

We've partnered with Lin Kam Art to bring the next generation of British DJs to The Garden Cinema. Along with the Legend herself, Linett Kamala, they'll be showcasing their skills on a  beautifully reconditioned vintage speaker set up thanks to the sound heroes at Audio Gold. 

Alongside such sonic delight, we'll be putting on a free screening of Steve McQueen's joyful and essential Lovers Rock. The heart of McQueen's groundbreaking Small Axe project, Lovers Rock is a joyful and completely unique love letter to the Blues Party music and party scene of the 1970s/80s. This screening will be introduced by the film's co-writer, playwright and novelist, Courttia Newland.

Get down early for Doctor Gee's Notorious rum punch and Lover's Rock/Classic dub tunes, and stay late for sets that trace the lineage of UK reggae into the present day (and more punch).
