ROCK fans have a one off chance to see the new film about Canadian band Rush.

The exclusive showing of Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage is at Huddersfield Odeon tonight at 8.30pm.

The film, which features never seen before footage and interviews, explores the forty year career of one of the world’s biggest cult bands.

The showing at the Bradley Mills cinema, the only one in West Yorkshire, was secured after general manager and Rush fanatic Cliff Baillie campaigned distributors to let him show it. Tickets: 0871 2244007.
