If you’re going to pay tribute to The Thin White Duke, you may as well get the best one around. ABSOLUTE BOWIE have been touring the UK & Europe for years, consistently selling out venues and we don’t expect this show to be any different.

Room 2 hosted by Breakz, York University’s longest running music / DJ society with its latest cohort playing all manner of beats and breaks.
Freedom To Run: Documentary Screening in Aid of Medical Aid for Palestinians
Palestinians in the West Bank cannot move more than 10 kilometres without being stopped by Israeli restrictions.
Checkpoints, demands for permits, and the apartheid wall surrounding the occupied territories, are part of the a struggle of daily life.
‘Freedom to Run’ follows two groups of runners, one from Right to Movement in Palestine, and one from Scotland. The two groups of runners support each other as they run both the Palestine and Edinburgh Marathons and on this journey the runners discover they are not so different, but they live very different lives.
There will be a Q & A with the filmmakers after the screening.
All proceeds from this event go to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

Flamingods
The celebrated multi-instrumentalists bring their explosive, high-energy show to York for the first time!
A cult favourite on the festival circuit in UK and Europe, the London quartet have now been crafting their distinctive genre-defying music for over a decade now. Weaving through genres of psychedelia, new wave, electronica and punk – often within the same song – is a bit of a specialty for the band, as is their knack for blending in influences from their unique cultural heritages and love of 70s British rock and roll.
