Further to the article in the District Bizz on the Film Fundraiser for End Polio Now here are the details for 3 Cinema options.
The film 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is said to be a great fun movie showcasing the life of Freddie Mercury who suffered greatly without the collaboration of his band Queen until he reunites with his bandmates just in time for Live Aid and leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. Queen cements a legacy that continues to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day who have produced some outstanding music.
The movie will be showing on,
Friday 2nd November at 6 pm, at Wallis Cinema Mount Barker or
Sunday 4th November, at 4pm, The Regal Cinema, Kensington Park or
Sunday 4th November at 3.30pm for 4pm start, The Gawler Cinemas - you can pay directly at the door.
