The Music of James Bond - Charter Hall - Colchester
2026-07-16 19:30 - 22:30 | Colchester Charter Hall, Colchester Charter Hall
The Music of James Bond
From the moment the first chord strikes, audiences are transported into the mysterious and thrilling world of James Bond. This incredible Chamber Orchestra brings the legendary music of James Bond to life in a way that is bold, elegant and utterly unforgettable.
This is more than a concert – it is an orchestral tribute to one of cinema’s most iconic legacies. Across six decades, the music of Bond has been defined by extraordinary voices: Dame Shirley Bassey, whose soaring performances of “Goldfinger”, “Diamonds Are Forever” and “Moonraker” set the gold standard; Adele, whose Oscar-winning “Skyfall” became an instant classic; Sam Smith’s haunting “Writing’s On the Wall”; and Billie Eilish’s powerful and poignant “No Time To Die”. These songs – and the artists behind them – have given Bond its unmistakable sound.
Performed by world-class musicians and vocalists, every note echoes the sophistication of the James Bond universe. The sound of sweeping strings and bold brass stirs images of high-speedcar chases, exotic escapes and unforgettable encounters. The sultry tones of the singers evoke Bond’s timeless glamour.
This is a night where music and cinema intertwine, where audiences don’t just listen to – they feel it, they live it.
The Great British Film Orchestra is dedicated to celebrating the soundtracks that have defined the golden age of cinema and beyond. With each performance, we honour the artistry ofcomposers and storytellers who have given us moments that transcend the screen.
So, don your finest attire, raise a glass and prepare for an evening of breathtaking music and the unmistakable thrill of James Bond.
Disclaimer: This concert is an independent tribute production. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any rights holders of the James Bond franchise. Titles are used solely todescribe the musical programme to audiences.

About Dire Straits Dire Straits were one of the major guitar based bands of the late 70s. Despite forming at the height of Punk, front man Mark Knopfler’s distinctive guitar picking style gave the band an alternative and instantly recognisable sound. The band reached its peak in the mid 80s playing larger venues including a memorable slot at Live Aid. So far record sales have reached over 100 million worldwide and Knopfler is still regarded as one of the finest guitarists and songwriters this country has produced.

Cloudbusting - The Music of Kate Bush
2026-07-23 19:30 - 22:30 | Mercury Theatre Colchester, Mercury Theatre Colchester
‘Utterly, surreally brilliant’ – Mick Wall, Classic Rock Magazine
Cloudbusting can’t wait to share their love for the music of Kate Bush with their two-hour stage production featuring all the hits you’d expect – as well as many songs you wouldn’t! Wuthering Heights, Hounds of Love, Babooshka, This Woman’s Work… and of course the world-wide No.1 hit single that took every music chart by storm 37 years after its release – Running Up That Hill – all with breath-taking vocals and superb musicianship
The show is enhanced with stunning back-projection visuals which reflect the character and mood of the songs, making a Cloudbusting concert an event that no Kate Bush fan will want to miss!
‘Blown away – your spin on Kate Bush is amazing’ – RTÉ Radio
Cloudbusting are the longest running and most universally celebrated tribute to the music of Kate Bush. With TV appearances and live performances across both the UK and Europe, the band has earned an enviable reputation for being unquestionably the most accurate and authentic live experience for Kate fans.
Significantly, they are the only band in the world to have performed Kate’s music with her original bass player and long standing sound engineer Del Palmer, as well as drummer and percussionist Preston Heyman who appeared on the Tour Of Life, Never For Ever & The Dreaming. The band has also performed with Stewart Avon-Arnold – Kate’s co-choreographer and dance partner who appeared with her in so many of those iconic videos and performances throughout her career. That’s quite an endorsement for Cloudbusting but it also stands as a reflection of the talent, tenacity and passion that the 5-piece band has for Kate’s stunning music.
‘I could have been listening to Kate herself!’ – Preston Heyman
With tickets to shows selling out fast, be sure to look out for tour dates near you – Cloudbusting would love to exchange the experience!

Rhythm, Rust & Static Tour 2026
From July to October 2026, When Rivers Meet return to the stage with the Rhythm Rust & Static Tour, following the release of their brand-new studio album Rhythm Rust & Static, out in spring 2026.
Recorded with an intentionally stripped-back, analogue-inspired approach, Rhythm Rust & Static captures the raw essence of When Rivers Meet, intimate, gritty, and emotionally charged. The tour reflects that same spirit: a smaller, more focused on-stage setup, delivering a huge, immersive sound that puts songwriting, feel, and connection at the heart of the show.
Audiences can expect to hear all ten tracks from the new album performed live, alongside a carefully chosen selection of favourites from the When Rivers Meet back catalogue. Across this 14-date UK tour, each night promises a powerful, close-quarters experience.
On stage, When Rivers Meet remain exactly what they have always been: Grace & Aaron Bond. They are joined by long-time collaborator James Fox, adding depth and texture through percussion, guitar, and backing vocals. With three musicians on stage, the sound is expansive and full-bodied.
Fresh from a run of remarkable chart success including a Top 10 Official UK Albums Chart entry with Aces Are High and a #4 Official UK Albums Chart with Addicted To You, alongside multiple Official UK #1 positions across genre and format charts, When Rivers Meet continue to prove that independence and ambition can go hand in hand.
This is When Rivers Meet at their most distilled and most intense.

Hollywood Vampires // UK Tour 2026 // Colchester
2026-08-21 17:00 - 20:00 | Lower Castle Park Colchester, Colchester, CO1 1, GB
American rock supergroup Hollywood Vampires featuring Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, Joe Perry and Tommy Henriksen return to the UK this summer as part of their hugely anticipated UK tour, marking their first live shows in almost three years.
It’s been a decade since Hollywood Vampires first came together — and they’re still raising hell on stage. Formed in 2015, the band bonded over a shared love of their favourite songs and a desire to celebrate their ‘dead, drunk friends’ by playing the music of rock’s fallen heroes. Named after Alice Cooper’s 1970s drinking club, which included the likes of John Lennon, Keith Moon and Mickey Dolenz, Hollywood Vampires quickly earned a reputation for blistering live shows – a riotous mix of original anthems and tributes to the legends who inspired them.
Their sets are a raucous celebration of rock’s greatest icons, performed alongside their own powerhouse material. Hollywood Vampires’ shows feature stone-cold classics from The Who, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Motörhead, The Doors, AC/DC and more, alongside hits from Alice Cooper and Aerosmith.
