Bohemian Rhapsody is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury. Freddie defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound. They reach unparalleled success, but in an unexpected turn Freddie, surrounded by darker influences, shuns Queen in pursuit of his solo career. Having suffered greatly without the collaboration of Queen, Freddie manages to reunite with his bandmates just in time for Live Aid. While bravely facing a recent AIDS diagnosis, Freddie leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. Queen cements a legacy that continues to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day.

In addition to the film, we are delighted to be joined by talented musician Nate Collins.   Since leaving Balerno High School last summer, Nathan has been working and fundraising to prepare for a 4 month volunteering trip in Nepal and Sri Lanka to teach English and Music to young people.   Nathan will be joining us for a very special performance just prior to the main film.  He has composed the music and will be playing piano accompaniment to Charlie Chaplin’s 1914 classic American silent comedy “Mabel’s Married Life”   You are welcome to contribute to Nathan’s fundraising by donating on the night
