Ballad of Wallis Island tonight

Don't forget, if you fancy a night at the movies, TONIGHT sees the showing of The Ballad of Wallis Island at Kilcullen Bridge Cinema.  

A 2025 comedy-drama filmed in Pembrokeshire in Wales, the film tells the story of musician Herb McGwyer, who made his name in a popular folk duo with former creative and romantic partner Nell Mortimer. Now a struggling solo artist, Herb accepts a lucrative offer from eccentric lottery winner Charles Heath to perform a private gig on a remote island. 

The appearance fee will fund Herb’s new album. But it turns out Charles — who has very personal reasons for organising the gig — has also invited Nell to play, forcing Herb into an unexpected McGwyer-Mortimer reunion. 

Described as “a big hug of a movie”, it is the perfect film for dark November evenings. Tickets are €7, on sale in Woodbine Books, Kilcullen, and Eventbrite.
