Author Event – Drumming With Dead Can Dance & Parallel Adventures – with ex Dead Can Dance member Peter Ulrich

Admission £5.
Doors open 11am, starts 11.30am.

A chance meeting in London in December 1982 led Peter Ulrich to join the band Dead Can Dance on drums/percussion shortly after they arrived from Australia in search of a record deal. Within months they were signed to Ivo Watts-Russell’s 4AD label, recording their debut album, heading out on tour supporting Cocteau Twins, and notching up their first Peel Session.

DCD remained a core act through 4AD’s legendary ’80s period, with Lisa Gerrard, Brendan Perry and Ulrich all contributing to the label’s This Mortal Coil project.

November 2022 saw publication of Ulrich’s memoir Drumming with Dead Can Dance and Parallel Adventures which provides an in depth ride through that decade, then from the early 90s on Ulrich tracks the parallel paths of his own solo career, the rise and rise of DCD, and other projects of Lisa and Brendan, as well as dipping into just about every corner of the music business.

It’s been heralded a fascinating and detailed account of an era which centres around DCD, but which goes far beyond and appeals to a broad spectrum of music fans.

Ulrich is delighted to have been invited to Colchester Arts Centre and his appearance will be structured as an introductory talk followed by a question and answer session with the audience.
