SOUL TO SOUL

SOUL TO SOUL - MARCH 6TH 2026

SOUL TO SOUL is a feature length documentary about a historical, once in a lifetime concert which took place in Black Star Square in Accra on March 6th 1971 (exactly 55 years before our release date - which is also Independence Day in Ghana!) where some of the greatest Afro-American musicians of the time performed in front of 100,000 people as part of the 15th anniversary of the country's independence celebrations. The original concert actually lasted for 14 hours - an hour for each year since Ghana had become the first African country to gain independence from Britain. Thankfully, SOUL TO SOUL runs for approx 96 minutes.

The concert features Ike & Tina Turner, Wilson Picket, The Staples Singers, Les McCann and Eddie Harris, Santana and Voices Of East Harlem. For the musicians this was cathartic experience as they visited Africa for the first time. The film follows the American musicians as they spend a few days in Ghana, visiting local villages and places before they actually performed the concert - an eye-opening experience for Ike & Tina Turner as they visit a local village with people running around with a large Elephant bone totem or hear the sorrow in Mavis Staples' voice when she visits an old slave castle.

TRAILER

THE SESSION MAN - THE NICKY HOPKINS STORY

The Session Man tells the story of unsung hero, Nicky Hopkins, the highly gifted and prolific British session pianist to some of the greatest rock bands the world has ever seen.

Nicky Hopkins not only played with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and The Who, he also played on solo albums of all four members of the Beatles in the early part of a stellar career that spanned over 30 years. During that time, his genius piano playing contributed to more than 250 albums and a vast number of single releases.

Nicky’s legendary piano riffs and wonderful musical motifs helped ordinary tracks become extraordinary and iconic. So many of them remain popular today. The generations that followed The Golden Era of Rock And Roll soon discover those iconic tracks that made Nicky Hopkins a legend amongst his peers – tracks like “Revolution” by The Beatles, “She's A Rainbow”, “Sympathy For The Devil” and “Angie” by the Rolling Stones, “Jealous Guy” by John Lennon from his “Imagine” album and “You Are So Beautiful” by Joe Cocker.

Nicky’s story is told in the film by Albert Lee, Bill Wyman, Billy Nicholls, Glyn Johns, Graham Parker, Harry Shearer, Helen O’Hara, Keith Richards, Merrell Fankhauser, Mick Jagger, Nils Lofgren, Pete Townshend, Peter Frampton, PP Arnold, Slim Jim Phantom, Terry Reid and many many more..

TWIN TOWN

In 2024, we were thrilled to screen the BAFTA-nominated cult classic Twin Town all over Wales as part of its 25th-anniversary.

In October 2026, Julian and Jeremy will make a very welcome return to screens, but this time to celebrate 130 years of film in Wales.

All screenings will be followed by a live Q&A with the film’s director, Kevin Allen.

TWIN TOWN

Bryn Cartwright (William Thomas) a wealthy roofing contractor, rugby club chairman and local kingpin rules the roost until Fatty Lewis (Huw Ceredig) a local handyman falls off a ladder on a Cartwright job. Fatty’s twin junkie grandsons, Julian (Llyr Ifans) and Jeremy (Rhys Ifans) who are not in fact twins –attempt to procure compensation from Cartwright, who refuses to pay up. The doped-up Julian and Jeremy then inflict anarchy not only on Cartwright and his family but on anyone they encounter whilst Terry (Dougray Scott) and Greyo (Dorian Thomas), two local policemen employ their own dubious peacekeeping methods as events spiral out of control.
