TCC FILM CLUB NEWS
Dear Film Goers,
Our next film night is this Friday 6th February 2026 doors open from 7pm, screening 7.30pm.
Please note we do not have allocated seating.
This month’s film is THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND
THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND
2025 comedy drama
Plot
Musician Herb McGwyer – formerly half of folk duo McGwyer Mortimer—arrives on the remote Wallis Island off the coast of Wales, where eccentric widowed superfan Charles Heath has contracted him to play a show before a select, private audience. After winning the lottery, Charles travelled the world with his late wife Marie, who loved McGwyer Mortimer, spending all their money. They then won the lottery again and retired to the island, where Marie died five years prior to the events of the film.
Charles brings Herb to stay at his home, presenting his £500,000 fee as a suitcase of cash. Having transitioned from folk music to commercial pop, Herb intends to use the money to finance the next album in his struggling solo career. He fends off Charles’s questions about his professional and personal breakup with his former musical and romantic partner Nell Mortimer.
Charles reveals the makeshift “stage” – a pallet on the beach – and eventually admits that he will be the show’s sole audience…

SOUND & PROJECTOR SYSTEMS
A New Sound System was installed just before the screening of the June films in 2017. This system is a Surround Sound environment suitable for Dolby 5.1 recordings, and the verdict by regular film club members – ” It is a big improvement I could hear every word!”
A new high resolution projector has now been installed and has significantly improved the cinematic experience using Blu-Ray Recordings
HEARING LOOP
A new hearing loop was installed in April 2015 to improve both audio and visual experience whilst watching films
