Bromsgrove Editorial 26th Mar, 2016 Updated: 17th Oct, 2016   0

THERE is plenty of entertainment on offer at Bromsgrove’s Artrix in the coming weeks.

Celebrated folk musician and composer Luke Daniels, a former winner at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, will be at the venue at 7.30pm next Saturday (April 2).

Luke was a soloist on the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit soundtracks and now performs as part of Cara Dillon’s band.

He will be bringing on a selection of his own songs he has been working on which combines folk music with an original and very rare c1880 Victorian clockwork music machine called a Polyphon.




Tickets are £14 (£12 for over 60s, under 16s and students).

The Mods and Rockers will be performing there at 8pm on April 8,


The two bands, The Quik Beats and Del Ray Rockets, will battle it out, trading the best tunes ranging from Elvis and Eddie Cochrane to the Animals and Zombies.

Tickets are £14 (£12 concessions).

A new collection of films is also coming to the big screen at the School Drive venue.

Star Wars – The Force Awakens runs until March 29, then The Big Short – a story about how financiers made a fortune out of the banking crisis – will be on from March 30 to April 1.

‘Stupid boy’ Pike, pompous Cptn Mainwaring and the crew of the newly cast Dad’s Army will be on from April 5 to 13 and in between that, from April 6 to 9, Charlie Brown will take centre stage in The Peanuts Movie.

The majority of screenings are at 7.30pm but for retired audiences there are additional Friday film screenings at 11am and 2pm. There are also Saturday morning screenings for family films.

Tickets for Artrix Cinema cost £6.80 (£5.80) and screenings before 5 pm cost £5.30.
