An exclusive event to celebrate the music of Gavin Clark and the early cinematic work of Shane Meadows will take place at Rich Mix Cinema in Bethnal Green, London on the 10th June.

For one night only, to celebrate the music of Gavin Clark and 20 years since his first short movie, Shane Meadows introduces a personally chosen selection of his early shorts. This will be followed by a one-off exclusive screening of his legendary 2009 as yet unseen documentary The Living Room about his long term friend and music collaborator Gavin Clark whose music inspired Shane's films.

To end this very special evening Gavin Clark will play a one-off live set featuring songs from his soon to be released double vinyl collection Beautiful Skeletons featuring songs spanning 20 years with Sunhouse, Clayhill and Unkle, plus songs from Shane's Somers Town, Gavin will be accompanied on stage by Nick Hemming and Helen Whitaker from The Leisure Society, and Emma Fox.

London,
E1 6LA.

Doors open at 7pm.

Great stuff, I'll get it on the front page soon!

The Living Room is a great watch (I was lucky enough to have a private viewing!).

Looks like the link has changed on the Rich Mix website. Here's one to the event page: www.richmix.org.uk/whats-on/event/the-living-room-screening-and-re-score-event-with-shane-meadows/

UPDATE: Just seen on Twitter that the tickets don't go on sale until Monday.

Awesome, so wish I could go to this but work and finances prove otherwise. Have a brilliant time Gav.

This news would once have seemed exciting but I'm afraid Gavin has lost me as a fan. This will be a great night I'm sure but then he will just fall off the radar for another five years.

Trying to be a Gavin Clark fan is exhausting. Gav - at least try to engage with people a bit mate. We don't ask for much but a few haphazard bits of news many years apart does not a strong fan base build. Just a thought.

Anyone else get to this? Great little event, on the beer all afternoon in a very sunny London, fun to see "The Datsun Connection" for the first time. Some wild bitching by minor television types going on during the beer breaks, but I'll put that down to London twattery.

Downsides: my memory of Gavin's performance is hazy because I was royally pissed by that point; getting charged £5.50 for a pint of "craft ale" by a girl who described said brew as "safe, man, safe". Tut.
