This is Spinal Tap

Bring something to sit on and whatever you need to stay warm and dry.

This Is Spinal Tap shines a light on the self-contained universe of a metal band struggling to get back on the charts, including everything from its complicated history of ups and downs, gold albums, name changes and undersold concert dates, along with the full host of requisite groupies, promoters, hangers-on and historians, sessions, release events and those special behind-the-scenes moments that keep it all real.

The 1984 American mockumentary is directed and co-written by Rob Reiner. It stars Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer as members of the fictional British heavy metal band Spinal Tap, and Reiner as Marty Di Bergi, a documentary filmmaker following the band on their US tour.

The film will be shown in the Swan’s fabulous Beer Garden (and upstairs if it rains).

Local bloggers Deserter (Vince and Andy) will be hosting the event. They will do a short introduction. Fancy dress welcome!
