Summer Music Season 2023 at the Electric Palace cinema in Hastings

Don your finest leather, denim, flares, studs or sparkle for a summer at the cinema with music at its heart.

The Electric Palace Hastings presents Summer Music Season, which has been running since 2013, hosted by award-winning music writer, David Quantick.

Expect Q&As with film directors, live musical performances from Aylin Leclaire and Hastings Punk Choir, and films spanning music genres including psychedelia, rock, pop, soul, punk, and electronica.

About the Season, David comments: "The Electric Palace Summer Music Season is a glorious festival where music meets cinema and everybody wins."

He'll be at the cinema to take part in a Q&A alongside Toby Amies, the director of In The Court Of The Crimson King: King Crimson at 50, which is an amusing documentary that looks back at half a century of Robert Fripp's progressive rock band.

Other films included in the series are:

Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (starring Tina Turner) which you can see on Saturday 8 July, Under the Volcano (featuring The Police, Mark Knopfler, Stewart Copeland, and Nick Rhodes) on Saturday 29 July, experimental live music from Aylin Leclaire on Friday 4 August, and Trip on Friday 25 August, covering the revival of the psychedelic music scene.

Hastings Punk Choir will perform at a screening of Stories of the She Punks on Saturday 16 September, and later that month you can see a film about electronica sound pioneer Delia Derbyshire.
