About this Event
Blur: To the End (15)
A new feature-length documentary depicting the extraordinary and emotional return of blur, captured during the year in which they made a surprise return with their first record in 8 years, the critically acclaimed #1 album ‘The Ballad of Darren’.
blur: To The End follows the unique relationship of four friends - and band mates of three decades - Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree as they come together to record new songs ahead of their sold-out, first ever shows at London’s Wembley Stadium in 2023. Featuring performances of their most iconic, much-loved songs, footage of the band in the studio and life on the road, this film is an intimate moment in time with this most enduring of English bands, who have been at the heart of British cultural life and influence for over three decades.
‘Interesting to casual fans, essential for devotees.’ Lou Thomas, Empire
‘…deadpan daftness and onstage hijinks interspersed with melancholic reflections on age and Englishness.’ Ryan Gilbey, The Guardian
Playing in the Taliesin bar before our Blur doc screening on the 19th Sept- Dylan Cai is the frontman of Swansea’s most exciting emerging psychedelic Shoegaze rock band, Subterrania!
Fresh off the back of a summer of festival appearances at In It Together, Isle of Wight and Llangollen International Music Festival supporting the Manic Street Preachers, Suede and soon to support the Inspiral Carpets in the Patti Pavilion. He brings his own take on some Brit pop anthems with a sprinkling of his own original tracks.
