QuaDROPheNiaWhen (6.30pm sea front scooter run) Doors open 7.30pm for film screeningWhere The Trojan Rooms, South Parade, Whitley Bay, NE26 2RGTicket info £5 (available online at www.whitleybayfilmfestival.co.uk and The Avalon Bar (after 6.00pm)Certificate 18Scooter enthusiasts see the festival in with a ‘scooter’ run along the sea front before a Trojan Rooms screening of the mod classic film Quadrophenia. In 1973 Pete Townshend penned a dark and brooding rock opera, more difficult and inaccessible than anything The Who had done before. An esoteric story of an angst ridden Mod called Jimmy. Most older Who fans were utterly confused by this departure from the norm, and after poorly received live performances the band eventually wrote it off as a failure. However the album slowly began to gather a cult following with a whole new, younger generation, and though it may not have worked as a live “rock opera” the hard hitting 1976 film, by first time director Franc Roddam, quite literally changed the world.With a stellar performance by Phil Daniels, the story set in London and Brighton re- tells Townshend’s tale of a young Mod‘s struggle to come to terms with life amidst a haze of drug-fuelled paranoia.The film kick-starts the Whitley Bay Film Festival, with a head turning scooter rally through the town and typically along the sea front, that may provoke a few nervous glances, but, be rest assured it’s all in celebration of this master piece of cinematic history. The film itself will be shown at The Trojan Rooms, amidst an array of polished chrome and wing mirrors… It’s a way of life!Dress code ”Sharp”

still Crazywritten by Dick Clement and ian la Frenais

When Doors open 7.30pm Where The Trojan Rooms, South Parade, Whitley Bay, NE26 2RG Ticket info £7 Certificate 15During the ’70s, Strange Fruit was an internationally famous band. But, as with

many rock groups, drugs and internal friction took their toll, and the musicians went their separate ways. More than two decades later (Jimmy Nail) is working as a roof repairman. Tony (Stephen Rea) is a condom salesman. Beano (Timothy Spall) toils at a nursery while dodging the tax man. And Ray (Bill Nighy) has been pursuing an unsuccessful solo career.Seeing the ’90s return of such bands as The Eagles and Traffic, Tony decides that there might be some money in reuniting Strange Fruit. Visions of a second chance dance in his head. So, aided by the band’s former secretary, Karen (Juliet Aubrey), and roadie, Hughie (Billy Connolly), they re-form and begin a tour of pubs and grunge dance clubs throughout Holland.Still Crazy will be introduced by music historian, Chris Phipps.

Wed 24

Chris Phipps is a name linked with over three decades of music on TV. In his adopted home of the North East, Chris was recruited to co-produce Channel 4’s controversial music show The Tube. In 2011 Chris co-produced the acclaimed BBC4 documentary Mark Knopfler – a life in songs and the Battle of Byker for BBC RADIO 4.

His main passion - pride in the region’s music achievements - led him to co-produce an award winning series and book devoted to Northstars.On Ian La Frenais Night, Chris will be taking a general look at the genre of rock on film – and a specific look at how one of Tynemouth’s greatest exports – Ian La Frenais and his co writer Dick Clements – have tackled, with varying results, rock and drama.Chris produced a documentary with the duo in LA in 2003 – so stand by for some inside stories!
