DESCRIPTION:Sam and her partner\, Callum\, make the big decision to start a family\, until Michael ‘burst your’ Bublé shows up with his band of breathers. Plagued by the past\, taunted by TikTok\, obsessed with breathing\, blinking\, swallowing…Sam’s story is not linear\, and neither is recovery. \nPlaying on the boundaries of theatrical form\, this quirky ensemble piece goes head to head with OCD.

SUMMARY:From Spain. José Almarcha Trio: Flamenco Fusion! Wivenhoe Congregational Church. Tickets from 16/09
DESCRIPTION:Let yourself be carried away by 90 minutes of wonderful music\, courtesy of the José Almarcha Trio\, where through the different flamenco styles\, you will experience a variety of emotions and feelings. This concert is flamenco music in its purest form\, but also incorporating elements of jazz.​You will experience harrowing moments in this thrilling performance\, courtesy of an exposed and powerful guitar\, percussion that will give the music strength and rhythmic vitality\, while the piano will bring jazzy notes that harmonise with flamenco sounds – a perfect fit\, given that both genres are derived from the cries of oppressed people.​​Following the excellent reception of his debut album\, Vejézate\, José released his follow-up\, Alejandra\, to critical acclaim in 2023\, and undertook an extensive UK tour last year to promote it.​Un Nuevo Paseo\, his third album\, was released this year. It marks a turning point in his career as it explores new sounds and a novel idea of flamenco fusion while always staying true to the genre’s core.​José is a virtuoso guitarist\, as anyone who saw his concert for us in June would attest. This is your chance to make amends if you missed him. You will not be let disappointed! \nJosé Almarcha (Guitar) Andre JahJah (Keyboard)Demi Garcia Sabat (Percussion). \nJosé Almarcha: \nBorn in Tomelloso\, Castilla La Mancha (the land of Don Quijote)\, José started playing guitar at a very young age and then went on to study flamenco at the Cordoba Conservatory of Music with great masters of the instrument such as Paco Serrano and Niño de Pura. \nA veritable virtuoso\, with an extensive artistic career\, he is a previous winner of the prestigious International Flamenco Guitar Competition\, Niño Ricardo. \nJosé’s tireless exploration of the instrument has allowed him to develop his own personal language\, which also highlights his outstanding technique. \nHe regularly composes for and performs with Spanish dance companies\, such as Olga Pericet\, Marcos Flores\, Antonio Canales\, Sara Calero\, and José Manuel Álvarez.

SUMMARY:Eleanor Grant “Inside Me” tour - Colchester
DESCRIPTION:On Monday 27th October\, I’ll be coming to Colchester\, Essex\, as part of my “Inside Me” tour! 🧡✨🌅☀️🧚🏼‍♀️ \nInspired by the music of Joni Mitchell\, The Carpenters\, Simon & Garfunkel\, and a sprinkle of Sabrina Carpenter\, Eleanor Grant presents the “Inside Me” tour\, named after her upcoming debut single. Her collection of original songs aim to heal the hiding heart\, inviting you in to a truly intimate live music experience. \nHailed as “one of Britain’s greatest talents” (Hollywood in Vienna 2019)\, Eleanor is a singer and double bass player who has been writing music since the age of 17. As someone who sings in so many different styles\, it’s taken a while to discover her sound as an artist. Versatility lies at the core of her identity\, regularly touring Europe and Asia as a vocal soloist with Avatar\, Titanic\, and Howard Shore’s Lord of the Rings in Concert\, requiring her to move seamlessly across different styles of music. She studied double bass at the Royal Academy of Music in London and is one half of the multi-genre duo ‘Eleanor and Gus’. However\, fast forward to 2025\, Eleanor feels that now after 8 years of writing\, she has finally collated a collection of music that feels true to her inner self. \n“I’ve always been so conflicted as an artist who loves singing and writing in so many different genres. I’m never going to put myself into a box\, but I can wholeheartedly say that this set of songs are equivalent to my cosy every day jumper. I would be happy singing these songs every day of the year\, and that doesn’t mean that I want to abandon the rest of my musical wardrobe\, I’ve just finally written songs that truly feel like home.” \nHope to see you there! 🫶🏼🎉

SUMMARY:Marcel Kapteijn & The Raindogs @ Anchor Inn Nayland UK
DESCRIPTION:Marcel Kapteijn\, is truly a singer’s singer\, of world famous pedigree (in the band ‘Ten Sharp’) who plays a fine 6 or 12 string and sings straight from his soul. Leadsing the ‘Raindogs’\, a threesome who play a bunch of beautiful songs you might have heard on the radio or Spotify. Sander Schuurman\, plays the six string acoustic but also delivering some mean dobro parts and harmony vocals of course. Nico Dobber\, a great drummer but as that would make too much noise in their setting\, he’s on guitar\, bass\, various percussion\, harmonies and small talk. Musically\, they are on the Americana road\, check out their album “Rivers And Roads” with tracks like “River Of Gold”\, ”Eyes On The Road” “Once Upon A Town” and “Echo Park” but they have about a 100 songs under their belt. These song diggers are always delivering because they love what they do and so will you.
