The Sacred Funk 4tet play ancient, spiritual music that has journeyed from West Africa to the rest of the world.
Musicians Lekan Babalola -Percussion, Kate Luxmoore - clarinet and bass clarinet, Reuben Reynolds - guitars and Josh Vadiveloo- Bass, bring their combination of musical experiences and influences to create a vast range of sounds and grooves that will transport you across the African Diaspora, from jazz, funk, reggae, and folk to classical, son, rumba and highlife!
'Sounds of Highlife' explores the sounds of West Africa by reinterpreting songs by High Life musicians such as Ambrose Campbell, E.T. Mensah, and Victor Olaiya.
Highlife is a music genre that started in present day Ghana in the 19th Century. It’s mix of African polyrhythms with melodies of western jazz, created a feel-good music that influenced the afrobeat and afrobeats that we hear today.

Much Ado about Jazz with Chris Gumley and Al Gurr at Upton Magna VH last night - absolutely brilliant night. Such fantastically talented musicians!

Excellent venue, interesting choice of films, good choice of refreshments and value for money. Very happy, friendly event. We look forward to coming to Colwall.

I am so pleased I was able to see the film, as is was intended on the big screen. Much better than watching it at home on the television.

Audience feedback - Lingen Village Hall
Most films we've seen are enjoyable, well-chosen for the audience and very entertaining at times. Very well run by the group, especially the refreshments at intermission.

An exciting community resource in this isolated village. 'A taste of culture'.

This venue at Tasley is extremely well organised, films are well varied for a mixed audience.
Audience feedback - Tasley
The organisers were very welcoming and offered drinks and cake as everyone arrived. The film (Ali & Ava) was different and gave an insight to other peoples lives. This is why I go to Flicks in the Sticks : to see other films rather than Box Office blockbusters and get a glimpse into other cultures around the world.
