SUMMARY:Two Come Home
DESCRIPTION:It’s winter in a small\, isolated town in the Appalachian mountains.

SUMMARY:Forces of Nature - a Shakespeare workshop led by Nigel Walford
DESCRIPTION:Shakespeare’s words vividly conjured up the sights and sounds of nature for audiences at a time of bare stages and limited special effects. Two aspects of the forces of nature feature significantly: the extremes of weather\, and the perils (or pastoral beauty) of woods and forests.This workshop\, led by Nigel Walford will explore these themes\, and we’ll see how his descriptive text remains as powerful today!£5.00 cash on the door.All welcome but let us know if you are coming so we have an idea of numbers.

SUMMARY:Blow Up - Colchester
DESCRIPTION:Blow Up returns to Colchester at Three Wise Monkeys  \nPaul Tunkin (DJ) plus The Forty Fours (live) \nColchester was the first town to hold a Blow Up event outside of the weekly London events in the nineties. After a successful return to Colchester in Jan 2025 we are returning in January 2026. \nBlow Up\, a bona-fide legendary club night at the centre of the mid-Nineties Brit Pop explosion\, cited as the catalyst and birth place of the BritPop scene\, influencing the style and sound of a generation. Blow Up was voted No.4 in Time Out’s Top Ten Clubs of the 90s\, described as one of ‘5 Classic Clubs of Our Time‘ by Vox Magazine (alongside The Blitz Club\, Shoom\, The Roxy) and as ‘The club that changed the world’ by Melody Maker. Describing Blow Up in Time Out’s London Calling book as “the breeding ground of the Brit Pop sound” and in NME’s Original’s Blow Up was listed as a Top Ten Britpop Moment. In July 2022 Time Out once again listed Blow Up as one of the greatest London clubs of the past 40 years. \nBlow Up has also hosted events around the UK and internationally over the years\, including across Europe\, USA\, Russia and Japan. Whilst the Blow Up club compilations (‘Blow Up A-Go-Go!’ and ‘Blow Up presents Exclusive Blend’) have increased the reach of Blow Up around the world.. \nBlow Up was founded and launched by Paul Tunkin 16th October 1993 at the upstairs function room of a Camden Town pub the Laurel Tree. After just a few months Blow Up had become the epicentre of a seismic musical and stylistic change in what was later called the Britpop scene. From its origins at the Laurel Tree\, Camden Town (1993-1996) to Soho venues the Wag Club (1996-2001)\, the Metro Club (2002-2009\, the Metro which Paul Tunkin co-ran with former Wag Club manager Alan Campbell) Blow Up maintained a weekly club event interspersed with various one-off events. Post the Metro Club’s closure Blow Up took up weekly and monthly residences in various venues including Bar Rumba\, 4 Denmark St and Peckham’s Bussey Building followed by a weekly five year Friday night residency at the St Moritz Club\, Wardour St Soho (2015-2020) once again interspersed with occasional monthly events including the Troubadour London. Blow Up ran continuous weekly events until the nightlife lockdown in 2020 and finally returned for a three night residency at Vout O Reenee’s London (Oct – December 2022). November 2023 saw the first part of the Blow Up 30 year celebrations with a sold out club and live event at Jamboree Kings Cross. Whilst in May 2024 saw Blow Up take to the roof terrace of members club the Century in Soho as part 2 of our 30th celebrations. \nHope that you can join us for what promises to be another special night.
