Blue John Media is delighted to bring the incredible world-renowned US blues and roots music musicians John Miller (guitar/vocals) and Grant Dermody (harmonica/vocals) to the Isle of Man. This show at the Centenary Centre is only one of two shows they are performing together in the British Isles before teaching guitar and harmonica at Blues Week, in Gloucester, UK.
In addition to being a phenomenal musician and recording artist, John Miller has an incredible reputation as a music tutor and has presented a number of tuition DVDs for Stefan Grossman’s Guitar Workshop on the music of several country blues guitar legends including Mississippi John Hurt, Elizabeth Cotten and Furry Lewis (to name but a few).
The late great fingerpicking hero John Fahey described John as ‘just brilliant’ and fellow fingerpicking legend Duck Baker said: “This is not the boy on the magazine cover but the guy the pros admire and cop licks from (I can attest to this).”
Grant Dermody is a harmonica master who has made amazing solo albums, trio albums with John Miller and Orville Johnson and has recorded and performed with other musical giants.
Among those has been Eric Bibb, who describes Grant as “One of the greatest blues and roots harmonica players around. His playing reaches deep into the well of tradition and at the same time takes the music to exciting new places with a very personal sound. Working with him in the studio and on the stage is always a pleasure.”
Dirk Powell said about him: “Grant Dermody plays the harmonica with power that is equally effective and evocative whether held in reserve or allowed to wail to its fullest and wildest degree. His musical voice, both through the instrument and singing itself, reunited forms and feels that are not-so-distant cousins into one wide and calmly flowing stream.”
Grant, like John, is a master teacher too and blues and roots musicians around the world have learned directly from them at workshops, including the popular Euroblues Promotions’ Blues Week event in the UK.

Dark Comedy, History
Online Tickets | Facebook Event| Trailer
Nominated for Best Screenplay and Outstanding British Film of the Year at the 2018 BAFTAs. This wickedly dark comedy follows Stalin’s final days in 1952 and depicts, with zero decency or taste, the chaos that ensued as his lackeys turn on each other for power and survival. In the Kremlin no one can hear you scheme! Contains bad language, violence, tons of brilliant one liners and lots and lots of dark humour.

Winner of 2 Oscars, 1 BAFTA plus 46 award wins and 111 nominations. This is the utterly amazing true story of Desmond Doss, the bravest man who ever lived. During the horrific battle of Okinowa he single-handedly saved 75 men. What’s even more remarkable is that he was also the only American soldier to fight on the front lines in WW2 without a weapon as he was a pascifist and stayed true to his beliefs. He was the first ever conscientious objector to receive the Purple Heart for bravery which was personally awarded by President Truman. Contains realistic war scenes

One of the most visually stunning and audacious cinematic art projects of all time. Taking over 7 years to complete, the life, death and artwork of Van Gogh were recreated with actors against green screen and then 125 artists were employed to hand paint 62,450 frames in Van Gogh’s unique style. This visually stunning Oscar nominated animation offers a glimpse into Van Gogh’s hyper-sensual world, amplified by Clint Mansell’s gorgeous score. Nobody has ever seen a film like this before, a feast for the senses!

One of the standout films from recent years, ‘Get Out’ won Best Original Screenplay at the 2018 Oscars, another 135 award wins & 187 nominations. Get Out is a master class in cinematic storytelling expertly blending astute racial, social and cultural observations, sharp satire and the kind of terror that grips you so you can’t even move. Very clever, brilliantly written and wonderfully acted, challenging the audiences expectations with almost every scene. Contains some gory scenes.
“Get Out smartly balances its tones to provide viewers with an entertaining and clever satire that is equal parts funny and terrifying.” – Chris Agar, Screen Rant
“Jordan Peele’s Get Out is the satirical horror movie we’ve been waiting for, a mash-up of Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner? and The Stepford Wives that’s more fun than either and more illuminating, too.” – David Edelstein, Vulture
“The totality of “Get Out” is so original that it defies labels. It seems to have been thought about daily for years or more, so exact are its meanings, references, compositions, cuts and music cues.” – Matt Seitz, RogerEgbert
“A jolt-a-minute horroshow laced with racial tension and stinging satirical wit.” – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Online Tickets | Facebook Event| Trailer
Gary Oldman won both Oscar and BAFTA for best actor, for his utterly brilliant, transformative portrayal of Winston Churchill.
Based on historical events, this dramatisation imagines the British backroom politics and Churchill`s rise to power during May 1940 at the moment of national military disaster in France whilst those in Westminster are reviewing options for terms of peace with Hitler.
At times profoundly moving, at times funny, this is one of the great character performances as a man with the weight of the future history of the world on his shoulders.
“Few would argue that Oldman isn’t one of the finest actors of his generation, but this is a tour de force portrayal that will define his body of work for decades to come.” – Gregory Ellwood, The Playlist
“Gary Oldman is one of the greatest actors on the planet – and he proves it again as Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour.” – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
“Churchill’s darkest hour is Gary Oldman’s finest. Gripping, touching, amusing and enlightening, his performance is the prime reason this film must be seen — but not the only one.” – Dan Jolin, Empire
