🍿🎥 Petherton Picture Show Presents...

Song Sung Blue (12A) 2025

Fri | 5 Jun | 8 PM

Director: Craig Brewer.
Two down-on-their-luck musicians (Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson) form a joyous Neil Diamond tribute band, proving it’s never too late to find love and follow your dreams. But what is apparently a fairly standard rags-to-riches story is ruptured by a tragic twist of fate. Based on a true story.

“Though the music of Neil Diamond may not be everyone’s cup of tea, Song Sung Blue has universal appeal: it’s ultimately a moving love story about one man’s unrelenting devotion to his wife. Jackman and Hudson bring vigour and heart – and their impressive pipes – to this triumphant tribute to a remarkable musical couple.”

The Upcoming

“Here is a startlingly strange, undeniably entertaining true-life story from the heartland of American showbusiness; a lovable crowdpleaser whose feelgood flavour won’t prepare you for the way the plot repeatedly and savagely twists like an unsafe fairground ride.”

The Guardian

“While Jackman is terrific as an over-the-hill striver with an almost pathological yen for the spotlight, it’s Hudson who will knock you sideways.”

Playing Live at The David Hall - ✨KATIE SPENCER✨
FRI | 12 JUNE | 8PM

Katie Spencer (What Love Is Album Tour)

‘Fresh as a sweet Sunday morning’ - MOJO ★★★★

‘A fine singer-songwriter, and an excellent guitarist’ - Songlines ★★★★

'Her articulate picking, with suggestions of folk and jazz, frames intelligently written songs’ – Guitarist magazine

Raised in the East Yorkshire flatlands on the fringes of Hull (UK), Katie Spencer’s landscape has always been that of open skies and widening rivers. It is this sense of space and movement that flows through her assured guitar style and songwriting. Her writing, and most notably her guitar playing stems from a time when the steel-stringed instrument was truly finding its voice. Artists like Joni Mitchell, Judee Sill, Julie Byrne, and perhaps most evidently, Michael Chapman, weave into her sound. Katie absorbs these influences into her songwriting and with her distinctive deep vibrato and crystal-clear guitar style, she makes the music inimitably her own.
