SUMMARY:Cover Story (part 2)
DESCRIPTION:Blondel Medieval & Renaissance wind band playing more music from the 14th-16th centuries on shawms\, bagpipes and recorders. \nWhat makes a song leap across national boundaries and language barriers\, slip from the secular to the ecclesiastic\, and remain at the top of the charts for more than 70 years? We don’t have the formula\, but we know why these pieces wedged themselves into the cultural background of medieval Europe. The music is fabulous.Cover Story tracks connections between people\, places\, texts and music. It follows the evolution of popular late medieval melodies across Europe as they are copied\, rearranged and repurposed over years\, and even decades.Catchy dances and lyrical chansons\, ingenious rounds and dazzling divisions by Machaut\, Dufay\, Wolkenstein\, Bedyngham\, Binchois\, and many unnamed masters.Inspired by the virtuosic wind players of the Middle Ages\, Blondel bring you their signature rousing blend of shawms and bagpipes\, and introspective mix of recorders.Since bringing Cover Story to Colchester Early Music in February Blondel have been busy finding more wonderful music\, making new arrangements\, performing all over the counrty and recording an album. Now they’re back to share their latest discoveries with us!Refreshments will be served after the concert\, with donations to church funds

SUMMARY:Hejira play Joni Mitchell
DESCRIPTION:Hejira: Celebrating the Music of Joni Mitchell \nShare this showDates5 Oct 2025Venues:Colchester Arts CentreCategories:JazzTickets £23.50 / £21.50 concessions.Doors open 7pm\, starts 7.30pm.This gig is for a seated audience. \n‘Hejira’ is an outstanding 7-piece band set up to celebrate and honour the masterpiece works of Joni Mitchell\, mostly from the late ‘70s.  \nHaving released the albums ‘Court And Spark’ ‘The Hissing of Summer Lawns’ and ‘Hejira’\, Joni toured briefly in 1979 with a band formed from the crème de la crème of contemporaneous musicians (Pat Metheny\, Lyle Mays\, Michael Brecker\, Jaco Pastorius and Don Alias). The tour was recorded\, producing the much-lauded live album\, ‘Shadows And Light’; it is from these works that the band Hejira is drawing the spirit and body of its repertoire.  \nComprising highly experienced\, world class musicians\, Hejira is fronted by the brilliant Hattie Whitehead who not only has – in her own way – assimilated the poise\, power and beauty of Joni’s vocals\, but also plays guitar with Joni’s stylistic mannerisms.  \nExpect an evening of the truly great songs from Mitchell’s back catalogue\, such as ‘Amelia’\, ‘Help Me’\, ‘A Case Of You’\, ‘Song For Sharon’\, ‘Hissing of Summer Lawns’ ‘Hejira’\, ‘Free Man in Paris’ etc.! \nHattie Whitehead ~ vocals & guitarOllie Weston ~ tenor & soprano saxophonesChris Eldred ~ keyboardsPete Oxley ~ guitarDave Jones ~ bassRick Finlay ~ drumsMarc Cecil ~ percussion \nHave a listen…Just Like This Train:https://youtu.be/DURr8Mr-POU?si=gga1vTuU0efwRGbf \nFree Man In Paris:https://youtu.be/Mc48imlvsU4?si=WLAGYcijBv_SX11u \nIn France They Kiss On Main Street:https://youtu.be/dTjfE9F2KIE?si=2gztadxyDiWB5S-4
