We look forward to tonight's live watch-along of Blinded By The Light and discuss what we love about the film - its universality and message, as well as how well it captures the feeling of being a teenager discovering great music for the first time. We also, of course, have our weekly parish notices. If you'd like to watch along tonight, the movie is available on Amazon Prime in the UK, or you can rent it from Amazon, Apple, Sky Player or wherever you usually get your movies.
