I KNOW I HAVE NO COLLAR
playing OSTs from Hal Hartley's films
Compered by DUDLEY SUTTON
An epic night of musical attractions: famous OSTs, guest artists, huge orchestras and cult actors ALL upping the stakes and aiming to raise some much-needed funds. All the money (barring a few essential costs) will go towards the Cube Microplex, Bristol's legendary independent cinema and one-stop culture centre, and its mission to buy the building that has been its base for the last 15 years, so it can proceed upon its inimitable and merry independent way.
The idea is pretty damn simple. A cluster of musicians from Bristol and beyond (but forever close to the Cube's heart and soul) will gather together to perform a key original soundtrack or selection of OSTs. Some may deviate from the original, putting their own wicked stamp on the music (the Cube has always loved a bit of doting sacrilege...), but the emphasis here is on soundtrack music that has swept these artists away, set free from its cinematic origin and given new wings on the Old Vic stage.
From simple beautiful minimalist pieces, through songs sung in French and thunderous urban sheets of sonic drama to the grand, emotional sweep of Morricone's masterworks, this will be a evening of adventure, fun and passion. Only one person is fit to present such a wonderful parade of musicians, film scores and special events... the maverick raconteur and legend of Cube occasions past, DUDLEY SUTTON, who has graced many a screen and stage in his illustrious acting career.
So what's planned? Well....
Cube stalwarts and all-round cover version specialists THE GREATNESS OF THE MAGNIFICENCE pull together a 30-piece ORCHESTRA (featuring some of Bristol's finest musicians) to perform majestic, moving and monumental music from MORRICONE, led by Jesse Morningstar (The Moonflowers, Morningstar, This Is The Kit) who has devised all kinds of GOTM themed nights in Bristol, Paris and beyond. Featuring music from films such as Sergio Leone's A Fistful Of Dollars, The Good, the Bad and The Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West as well as the Italian crime drama Machine Gun McCain... plus one curveball sixties psych classic used by many a director.
Legend of dubstep-and-beyond PINCH is game to take on the music of ROBOCOP with BS1 prodigal son BASS CLEF adding extra dimensions. Electro retro-futuristic music from two from Bristol's deep end. "Come quietly or there will be... trouble"
Returning boy wonder FRANCOIS conjures up a special locally-sourced band to play the lush, sensual songs from Claude Lelouch's A MAN AND A WOMAN. François came to Bristol from France, worked, played and recorded at The Cube, met up with his band The Atlas Mountains and went on to woo the world. "J'adore ce son dans meds oreilles, ma chérie"
GOAN DOGS w/ Elly McCabe (harp) give a lovely treatment to DANNY ELFMAN's wondrous score to the tale of the eternal outsider EDWARD SCISSORHANDS. With extra instruments and props from The Insects, much is expected. "This music will touch you, even though he can't"
Cult Bristol band I KNOW I HAVE NO COLLAR love the arch art films of HAL HARTLEY, and tonight they choose to Flirt with his soundtracks. No Such Thing as a forgettable IKIHNC show, and their members have all mucked in at The Cube in various ways over the years. "Do you trust me?"
