Friendly Fire Sessions, every third weekend of the month, is proud to team up with George Powell Ent. to bring you the legendary
DAVID RODIGAN.
David “Ram Jam” Rodigan is undoubtedly the most influential ambassador for reggae music in the UK since the early 70s, sharing his passion for Jamaican music to the masses on many London radio stations. He has since clashed and defeated many established soundsystems such as Barry G and Stone Love amongst many others, and gained the status of legend and authority when it comes to reggae soundsystems.
This is a very rare chance to see and hear David Rodigan for an exclusive intimate performance @ The Hare and Hounds, with support by Little Richie and residents Jam Jah Sound. There is a limited capacity to this venue, so please book early to avoid disappointment.

March Films
Wednesday 3rd March : School for Scoundrels (1960)
A fitting tribute to the late Ian Carmichael,Ian starsas Henry Palfrey, a failure who attends the "School of Lifemanship" run by Dr. Potter (Alastair Sim), who teaches him how to win in life, and get the better of his rival (played brilliantly byTerry Thomas) throughgamesmanshipand various other underhand means.
Wednesday 10th March : Passport to Pimlico(1948)
The residents of Pimlico in London discover a document that reveals they are, legally speaking, living in the land of Burgundy. They immediately decide to seal themselves off from the rest of England and set up their own 'country', complete with new rules and regulations. Problems, and comedy, ensue when Pimlico is over-run by crooks eager to evade British law, and ultimately the residents realise that good old Blighty is the place they want to be.
Wednesday 17th March : The Lavender Hill Mob(1951)
Alec Guinness is in great form as the innocuous civil servant who manages the impossible and steals three million in gold bullion from the Bank of England. With marvellous supporting performances
from Stanley Holloway, Sid James and Alfie Bass as his accomplices. Watch for a young Audrey Hepburn as Chiquita in the opening sequences.
Wednesday 24th March : Kind Hearts & Coronets (1949)
When young Louis Mazzini D'Ascoyne (Dennis Price) discovers that he is ninth in line to inherit the family fortune, he devises a despicable plot to bump off the other eight family members, all played by Alec Guiness including Lady Agatha which means Guinness gets to camp it up in the most glorious fashion. This is a wicked and wonderful comedy, which has great fun following the murderous Mazzini about his dastardly deeds, and revels in finding more and more outrageous ways of offing the hapless D'Ascoynes.
Wednesday 31st March : The Ladykillers(1955)
Priceless black comedy. A bunch of hardened criminals hide out in a house near to London's St. Pancras station owned by a cheerful little old lady. Led by Alec Guinness (whose fiendish false teeth smack of
master-criminal status), the gang's evil plans are constantly foiled by the old lady (played superbly by Katie Johnson) who is just too sweet to be true. Their bickering leads to violence and eventually
wonderfully extravagant deaths.
The Midnight Matinee
Wednesday 31st March : The Long Good Friday (1980)
The benchmark British Gangster classic. Harold Shand (Hoskins) is the undisputed ruling kingpin of theLondonunderworld, when his world is suddenly torn apart by a series of murders and explodingbombsfrom an unseen foe. Uncovering his enemy's identity forms much of the film's subsequent plotline.. The story seems to hinge upon an act of betrayal by one of Harold's closest aides, the implications of which only become clear near the film'sclimax, when the solution to the mystery is suggested though not spelled out.
