Witchseason Weekend (18-19 Jun 09) Celebrating the music and mavericks of the legendary label Joe Boyd may have been born in Boston and raised in New Jersey, but his influence on English music is incalculable, co-founding the UFO Club, the hangout that witnessed the emergence of Pink Floyd and The Soft Machine, and creating the Witchseason label that launched the careers of Fairport Convention, The Incredible String Band and Nick Drake. To complement contemporary music’s weekend of concerts, this is a chance to see rare screenings of films that capture the spirit of a unique moment in time. *Be Glad For The Song Has No Ending (PG)** Seminal doc capturing The Incredible String Band at the height of their powers in the 1960's.
