Collaboration with Croeso Menai
(reg charity 1186363) 

With thanks to the Llangoed Village Hall Sinema team, Croeso Menai brings you an Apple Original Film “Bread & Roses”.  The film offers a powerful window into the seismic impact on women’s rights and livelihoods after Kabul fell to the Taliban in 2021.

The documentary film follows three women in real time as they fight to recover their autonomy. Director Sahra Mani captures the spirit and resilience of Afghan women through a raw depiction of their harrowing plight.  Filmed secretly on their phones, at great personal risk, the women show us the shocking reality of life in Afghanistan for women and girls.

Bread and Roses documentary film is classified at 15+ 

Unsettling confrontations with armed militia are featured in this inspiring US documentary about Afghan women who have taken up activism against their subjugation following the return to power of the Taliban in 2021.

About Community Sponsorship

One of the UK Home Office's legal routes for refugees to enter the UK, Community Sponsorship is a way for local communities, civil society organisations, charities, and faith groups to be directly involved in helping refugees settle in the UK. Community sponsors provide emotional and practical support to empower families to rebuild their lives in safety, and to become self-sufficient members of their new community.  Since 2018 Croeso Menai has sponsored two vulnerable families, one from Syria and one from Iraq, who have started new lives in Wales.  

Community Refugee Sponsorship - CM Team 3 

Croeso Menai work with the Home Office, Reset, and a Lead Sponsor charity, who specialise in Community Sponsorship.  CM Team 3 membership is made up of local volunteers including two Afghan women.  They both live in Bangor, having been granted permission to come to the UK after fleeing Afghanistan.  Khatera, who was a University Lecturer in Afghanistan, is studying for a PhD and Zakia hopes to train as a midwife.  With Khatera and Zakia as Team Members, Croeso Menai plan to provide a home for an Afghan family that includes women and girls - changing their future prospects through access to education.  

Our first task is to raise £9,000 as a fund to be used for the costs associated with providing a home for the refugee family.  A house, rented from a supportive private landlord, is being prepared through generous donations of furniture and household goods.  We have already raised half the money we need and hope to bring a family to Wales by the end of this year.

“Bread & Roses,” an Eyan Foundation presentation is produced by Jennifer Lawrence alongside executive producer Malala Yousafzai, Nobel Peace Prize winner.

Former ELO2 frontman Phil Bates Village Voices tour comes to Llangoed Village Hall. An intimate show which features classic songs of ELO, The Beatles and of course some of Phil’s solo work.

Doors Open 7:00 pm
Show Starts 7:30 pm
Tickets £14, Children £8

Phil’s connection with ELO music goes back 30 years when, in 1993, he joined Bev Bevan, Kelly Groucutt, Mik Kaminski, Lou Clark - all ELO members - and Eric Troyer, in ELO Part2.

ELO Part2 toured the world in the next 6/7 years, doing concerts in USA, Canada, SouthAmerica, Central America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, Russia, Eastern Europe, Europe, Scandinavia, and the UK, many times with full orchestras.

In fact, Phil’s connection with ELO goes farther back to the 1970s when Phil’s band, Trickster, were labelmates, resulting in Trickster supporting ELO on their groundbreaking 1978 Spaceship Tour.

In the 1980, Phil formed Don’t Panic with wife, Joanna Bates, and spent 3 years playing in Middle East in Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi.

Phil and Jo were also members of Birmingham legends, Quill.

1990s saw Phil sing the theme tine from the TV show, The Gladiators, alongside songwriting, lead vocals, guitars and bass for AOR band, Atlantic. The album, ‘Power’ is legend amongst AOR fans to this day.

1993 to 2003 saw Phil take a break from music and study for BA Hon in History at Lampeter University. Phil joined Bev Bevan in a project that became Bev Bevan’s Move in 2003, but left to join old friends from ELO Part2 in The Orchestra in 2007. Then he toured the UK with the highly regarded Eleanor Rigby Experience who specialised in reworking the classic songs of Lennon and  McCartney and not forgetting Harrison. Phil Bates colleague in The Eleanor Rigby Experience vocalist Tina McBain was also part of Phil’s Beatles,Blues,And,Blue, Violin project alongside another of his colleagues Mik Kaminski (ELO ELO 2 The Orchestra) they released one album and did three UK tours.

Alongside this, Phil has been the major player in a German ELO project, which still gigs extensively all over Europe, and points east, to this day. These days known as Phil Bates Band play the music of ELO.

Phil’s solo albums - Naked (1996) - Agony and Ecstasy (1998) - Alter Ego (2003) - One Sky (2005) - Retrospektiv (2007). Then a LONG gap, which will be broken by the release of ‘The Story So Far …….’, probably early 2024, and ‘The Truth’, hopefully later in 2024.

A 3-track single ‘Port in a storm’, ‘Empty Rooms’, plus one of Phil’s re-imaginings of an ELO song will escape later in 2023.

‘Up Close and Personal’ sees Phil solo, playing reimaginings of ELO, Beatles, Trickster, Atlantic, classic songs from the extensive pop/rock/blues songbook, and songs from some of Phil’s favourite songwriters - Stevie Wonder, Tom Waits, Steve Earle, Bruce Springsteen, Gerry Rafferty, Keb Mo, Ry Cooder …… plus a smattering of blues, and a soupćon of Celtic.

Plus, some talking about 56 years of Phil Bates musical history ….. if anyone wants to hear an old fart talking about ‘the good old days’

"Brian and Charles" was primarily filmed in and around Snowdonia National Park in North Wales - Llyn Gwynant, Ysbyty Ifan, Trefriw, Cwm Penmachno, Betws y Coed and Llangernyw.

Brian lives alone in a remote village in the countryside. Something of an outcast, he spends his spare time inventing things out of found objects in his garage. Without friends or family to rely on, Brian decides to build a robot for company.

'Charles' is not only Brian's most successful invention, but he appears to have a personality all of his own and quickly becomes Brian's best friend, curing his loneliness and opening Brian's eyes to a new way of living.

However, Charles creates more problems than Brian bargained for, and the timid inventor has to face-up to several issues in his life; his eccentric ways, a local bully, and the woman he's always been fond of but never had the nerve to talk to.

A special screening of ‘Conclave’ to coincide with the real-life papal conclave in Rome to elect the new pope.

“Our faith is a living thing precisely because it walks hand in hand with doubt. If there was only certainty, and if there was no doubt, there would be no mystery, and therefore no need for faith. Any man who is truly worthy must consider himself unworthy. No one who ever follows their conscience ever does wrong.”

-Ralph Finnes as Lawrence in ‘Conclave’

£5.00

CONCLAVE follows one of the world’s most secretive and ancient events – selecting the new Pope. Cardinal Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) is tasked with running this covert process after the unexpected death of the beloved Pope. Once the Catholic Church’s most powerful leaders have gathered from around the world and are locked together in the Vatican halls, Lawrence uncovers a trail of deep secrets left in the dead Pope’s wake, secrets which could shake the foundations of the Church.

A young poet in North Wales competes under his bardic name of Hedd Wyn for the Chair, the most coveted prize of all in the National Eisteddfod, but before the winner is announced he is sent to fight in the trenches of the First World War.

Hedd Wyn is a 1992 Welsh anti-war biopic, written by Alan Llwyd and directed by Paul Turner, starring Huw Garmon as Hedd Wyn.

The wonderful cinematography that starkly contrasts the beauty of his home in Meirionnydd with the horrors of Passchendaele demonstrates the futility of war in this, the first film from Wales to be nominated as Best Foreign Language film at the American Academy Awards.
