Belfast's weekend movie tribute spies ‘The King’
It will be a case of shakin’, but definitely not stirred for the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll when he meets the King of Cool in an Elvis v Bond movie showcase this weekend at St George’s Market.
Belfast City Council, in association with Translink, will be marking the 25th anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley this week with a special screening of what many regard as the definitive rockumentary, 'That’s The Way It Is' on Friday. Doors will open at 8.30pm with music, food and drink available before the King hits the screen at 9.30pm. After the movie the party will continue with a live Elvis tribute band. The first 50 turning up in theme dress will win a free drink voucher - so get out the blue suede shoes, the Elvis wig, and that bow-legged hip-shakin' swagger.
On Saturday, August 17, the greatest secret agent of them all takes over the silver screen, with the Bond classic 'Goldfinger' being shown to mark the 40th Anniversary of Ian Fleming's archetypal spy. Doors open at 8.30pm to build up to the screen time of 9.30pm. Again to capture the suave 007 spirit after the event there will be live ‘movie’ music from The Tuxedos. Free drinks are on offer to the first 50 to appear in theme dress, so don the tuxedo and pull out the wet suit. The organizers also want traditional ‘Bond Girls’ to join in the fun, so dig out the evening dresses and the cat suits.
Appropriately, given the weather, the children’s entertainment with a special matinee performance on Saturday - starting at 2.30pm - will be 'Cats And Dogs'.
No tickets are required for any of the above events, but there is a charge of £3 (£1 for children attending the Saturday matinee) at the door.
For further information call 028 9027 0222 or visit the website www.belfastcity.gov.uk/events.
