Spandau Ballet Film – Soul Boys of the Western World

Sunday, 23rd September, 2018

So for my latest film night I was running short on time and it was quite late, so couldn’t watch something with a long run time. I didn’t know what kind of film I was in the mood for, but I do love documentary-style films, and came across Soul Boys of the Western World, the Spandau Ballet film.

I am not a Spandau Ballet fan, their music and their time was well before mine, but I do know their songs, like everyone else in the world. They were big, huge in this country, and it all ended as it usually does with groups or bands.

If you haven’t already got your Autumn and Winter clothing out, now’s a good time, and if you’re looking for something fresh, there’s no better time to start looking. Uniqlo got their brand new roll necks in for this season, which includes their infamous 100% merino wool roll neck jumpers, along with some roll neck T Shirts.

Both the merino wool roll neck and cotton T-shirt roll neck are brilliant, I can’t speak highly enough about them, especially for the price.

The Boat That Rocked – Film Night

Sunday, 9th September, 2018

Happy Sunday!

I was having a browse around at what films to watch, and I came across The Boat That Rocked. It’s not a new film and was released in 2009 but I hadn’t seen it before, and the title can be a bit misleading because it could literally be about anything.

It’s written and directed by Richard Curtis and stars Bill Nighy among others, and is a comedy style film set in the 1960’s and is based on a true story surrounding pirate radio.
