Featuring a fresh cast of new discoveries, this Sundance Film Festival hit marks the feature film debut of the electric Rutina Wesley, with street-style step sequences by top choreographer Hi-Hat and special appearances by R&B singer-songwriter Keyshia Cole and comedian DeRay Davis. Bursting with raw talent and intelligence, Raya Green (Wesley), the daughter of Jamaican immigrants, has always been the family’s one great hope. She won the rare chance to break out of their drug and crime-infested neighborhood when she was accepted into the exclusive Seaton Academy. But when her sister dies of an overdose, the family is shattered and Raya is forced to return to the place she tried so hard to escape. It’s not easy to go back, especially when one-time friends, including the tough minded Michelle (Tré Armstrong), see Raya as a stuck-up traitor who left the community behind.

  • Mandolinquents Concert
    Charity No. 1124762 email: [email protected] Volume 15 Issue 4 web site: www.westsussexguitar.com July 2010 Mandolinquents Concert The Mandolinquents comprise Simon Mayor on lead mandolin and occasionally on the fiddle and guitar; Hilary James on a rare and wonderful mandobass and also on vocals; Gerald Garcia on classical guitar and Richard Collins on mandolin, guitar and even banjo. All gelled to produce a wonderful mellow sound which was complemented by Hilary’s smooth, dulcet singing. The group were formed some 11 years ago and during that time we were lead to believe Gerald was a perfect pest by repeatedly asking ‘When are we going to play at Bognor?’ Well his wish and the audience’s wish were finally answered. If you shut your eyes and listened, you would often find it hard to believe that it was mandolins playing – being tuned as a violin they could often sound like a small orchestra. ur final concert of season went out with a We heard a whole spectrum of some 20 bang with the Mandolinquents.

  • Portico Quartet Portico Quartet PR
    Portico Quartet Portico Quartet Mercury nominated East Londoners release their third, self-titled, album. Real World Records - CDRWP186 - Release date: 30 January 2012 Portico Quartet still sound like nothing you ever heard before. The Mercury nominated East London based outfit’s unique music has expanded to embrace new sonic territories. Drawing on the inspiration of electronica, ambient, classical and dance music as they take their strange, beautiful, cinematic, future music to exciting new vistas where the inspiration of Burial, Mount Kimbie and Flying Lotus rubs shoulders with the textures of Arve Henriksen and Bon Iver and echoes of Steve Reich and Max Richter. But all underpinned by a shared joy in collective music making as the band push their inimitable music into the future. It’s a change that was brewing for some time. As anyone who saw Portico Quartet live throughout 2010 knew, the band had added a heady brew of live samples and loops to their arsenal, exploring a harder-edged sound that brought a more contemporary edge to their previously wholly acoustic music. It was a metamorphosis that was accelerated when the band’s original hang player, Nick Mulvey, left to explore his own musical muse earlier this year and the remaining members drummer Duncan Bellamy, bassist Milo Fitzpatrick and saxophonist Jack Wyllie started exploring the possibilities of sampling the hang and triggering it’s sounds from electronic pads, opening up a whole new way of utilising the instrument’s unique sound. It accelerated further when they invited keyboard player, and now hang player, Keir Vine (an old friend of Milo’s from Goldsmith’s University) to come on board.
