Federico García Lorca, who was murdered during the Spanish Civil War, is one of the most beloved and influential of all modern poets. This concert, of Lorca’s poetry set to music, is performed by Keith James and Rick Foot, whose very successful ‘The Songs of Nick Drake’ toured the Picturehouse network to capacity crowds between 2004 and 2007. The evening will also include material by those who followed Lorca, namely Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Tim Buckley and Nick Drake, and a screening of the authoritative biopic GARCIA LORCA: A DEATH IN GRANADA containing the only remaining footage of the poet himself.
