History is turned on its comic head when, in 10th century England, King Arthur travels the countryside to find knights who will join him at the Round Table in Camelot.

In the 1940s, Prince Khama of Botswana shocked the world when he married a London typist. It was love at first sight, they were soulmates, yet their proposed marriage was challenged not only by their families but by the British and South African governments as well.

The South Africa government had recently introduced the policy of apartheid and found the notion of a biracial couple ruling a neighboring country intolerable. South Africa threatened the British: either thwart the couple or be denied access to South African uranium and gold and face the risk of South Africa invading Botswana.

Shennaghys Jiu festival are excited to return to the Centenary Centre for the 2018 Celtic Music Showcase, this year featuring  TRIP, Birlinn Jiarg, The Lawrences and Scran.

Glasgow based TRIP are a dynamic trad band drawing influence from the cultures and traditions of Scotland, England, Ireland and the Isle of Man. They produce a powerful, driven and distinctive sound that contrasts from lively jigs and reels to captivating traditional Gaelic song.

Birlinn Jiarg perform traditional Manx music alongside contemporary compositions . The sound is based around the unusual combination of the low whistle and clarinet of Beccy Hurst and Freya Rae ( Tom Kitching Band), accompanied by Scottish guitarist and bouzouki player Alasdair Paul (Pons Aelius, Kimber/Paul) and bodhránist Callum Younger (Pons Aelius, Trio FCT).

The Lawrence’s play a mixture of traditional and contemporary Manx tunes, many composed by Katie, and their aim is to create arrangements where the pure beauty of the tunes is able to shine.

Scran are a group of 8 talented young Manx musicians who formed following participation in the Bree workshops and are now mentored by Paul Rodgers.

A stunning Japanese Animation in English. A teenage boy and girl embark on a quest to meet each other for the first time after they magically swap bodies years apart. Their lives being entwined with the fate of a terrible natural disaster.

Quite possibly one of the most creative films of the past few years. Your Name is beautifully animated, wonderfully acted, stunning sound design and a brilliant, complex and truly emotionally engaging story. #79 on the IMDB Top Rated Movies list at the time of writing.

“It’s both gorgeous enough and emotionally engaging enough to be worth seeking out.” – NPR

“Stunningly animated and well acted, this extraordinary Japanese coming-of-age tale is equal parts body-swap comedy, time-travel romance, and adventure film.” – Common Sense Media

“The hand-painted animation is stunning, from comets streaking across the night sky to an afternoon walk through fall foliage that is breathtaking.” – Capital Times

“Part body-swap comedy, part long-distance romance, part… something else. If you only see one Japanese animated feature this year, see this one, and see it more than once.” – Empire

To large for them to occupy themselves, they eventually decide to start a commune. All goes well to begin with however the couple begin to drift different paths and eventually Erik confesses to having started an affair. In the spirit of free love, Anna tries to reconcile this situation rather unconventionally. It can’t end well.
