We Dreamed America

WE DREAMED AMERICA examines the influence of American country music on a new breed of British artists. Featuring six UK bands, from the country-tinged rock of Alabama 3 to the exuberant rhythm-and-blues of Kitty, Daisy and Lewis, the film explores the continuing interaction between British and American musical traditions. All the bands featured are united by their passion for American country and rhythm & blues music, and are redefining the genre from the other side of the Atlantic. Featuring a wide range of performance footage as well as musical and social commentary from "Whispering" Bob Harris, Guy Clark, Tom McRae and BJ Cole, WE DREAMED AMERICA offers a fresh perspective on the most American of musical genres.

* We are delighted to welcome the band Hey Negrita for a live performance following this screening.
