Chris Hill’s Dirty/DC
Sunday 27th December, 7pm
www.theallendale.org/dirtydc

This isn’t just another tribute band - this is a full-throttle AC/DC experience!

Chris Hill’s Dirty DC deliver the raw power, attitude, and unmistakable sound of one of the greatest rock bands in history, with relentless precision and energy. Engineered for serious fans and live music audiences alike, this is high-voltage rock ‘n’ roll done properly.

Fronted by Chris Hill, a performer who has spent over 26 years mastering the voice, presence and grit of Brian Johnson, the band recreates both the Bon Scott swagger and the Johnson-era stadium dominance with spine-tingling accuracy.

Tickets make great gifts. Give the gift of live entertainment this festive season.

High Contrast Cinema presents: In A Lonely Place
Friday 6th November, 8pm

High Contrast Cinema continue their Bogart season with In a Lonely Place, Nicholas Ray’s 1950 noir masterpiece starring Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame. Adapted from Dorothy B. Hughes’ novel, it follows screenwriter Dixon Steele, whose volatile temper and proximity to a murder place him under suspicion — even as he begins a fragile romance with his neighbour, Laurel Gray.

Though not a commercial hit on release, the film has since been hailed as one of Bogart’s greatest performances: a raw, unsettling portrait of charm, insecurity and self destruction. Ray’s direction brings a haunting intimacy to the story, making it one of the most emotionally complex noirs ever produced. In a Lonely Place is rated PG for mild violence and threat.
