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.

SUMMARY:Gong + HENGE: Sounds of the Cosmos Tour
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £28.50.Doors open 6.30pm\, starts 7pm.This gig is for a standing audience. \nAt last – the double header we’ve been dreaming of! \nHENGE and GONG will be performing as joint headliners on the Sounds of the Cosmos Tour\, sharing equal billing across all dates. To keep things exciting\, the order of performance will alternate from show to show. As such\, we won’t be revealing in advance who will be opening or closing on any given night. Please arrive in time for the advertised start\, and plan to stay until the end to enjoy the full experience! \nHENGEAttention Humans! This is HENGE. We are not from this world. We bring you music from distant planets. We offer this gift for the edification of humankind… so that eventually your species may put an end to war and set up new homes in space. Extra-terrestrial joymongers – HENGE – have been delighting audiences in the UK and Europe since they landed on Planet Earth ten years ago. Their scintillating live performances earned them ‘Best Live Act’ at the Independent Festival Awards and they have since cemented their reputation with four acclaimed albums\, numerous tours and regular main-stage festival appearances. Their music escapes definition\, but occupies a space between rave and prog rock that nobody knew existed. It is energetic\, subversive and invigoratingly playful\, jovially going ‘where no one has gone before’. Ultimately\, HENGE are spreading a message of hope which leaves audiences feeling amused and uplifted in equal measures. \nGONGThe ever metamorphosing entity that is Gong launches\, as ever\, into unknown – and unknowing – territory with a new album and tour\, destined to be talked about\, discussed\, and argued over\, up and down the land. From its beginnings in a French commune in 1967\, through the Virgin Records years\, mismanagement\, court cases\, break-ups and rejoinings\, deaths and rebirths – there has always been a continuous thread of beautiful\, dangerous and extraordinary music. The current holders of the flame have come together over the last seven years; sinuous bass player Dave Sturt joined just as the album 2032 was shown to the world; Ian ‘Eastwinds’ East was the next to blow in through the portal; Fabio Golfetti brought his guitars from Brazil (after working with Daevid for many years); Kavus Torabi appeared to Daevid in a vision; Cheb Nettles just sort of turned up. Gong’s musically diverse world includes shades of psychedelia\, space rock\, jazz\, avant-garde\, krautrock and surreal soundscapes.

SUMMARY:Blazin' Fiddles at Colchester Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:Take the finest exponents of their native Scottish fiddle styles\, the finest backing in folk music\, and some of the Highlands and Islands’ famed warmth and craic… distil for over 25 years\, and you get Blazin’ Fiddles! \n One of the most lauded and best-loved acts of the Scottish music scene\, from the moment the multi award-winning Blazers take the stage to whisk you on a thrilling musical journey\, you’re in the finest of company. The mastery of fiddle virtuosos\, Jenna Reid (Shetland)\, Kristan Harvey (Orkney) and Rua Macmillan (Highlands)\, grounded by the second to none\, driving accompaniment of Angus Lyon (piano) and Anna Massie (guitar)\, will leave you reeling. \nFor over a quarter of a century\, no other band has quite captured Scottish fiddle music’s variety\, energy and sensitivity like Blazin’ Fiddles. Atop many musical twists and turns\, the group’s quicksilver playing is matched by lightning sharp humour and uproarious stories from their many tunes and travels. Whatever the hall – whether of the Royal Albert or highland village variety – they’ll turn it into the liveliest and warmest of hootenannies. \n“the band’s passion is gloriously infectious… a much loved staple on the Scots traditional scene for the past 20 years” / Songlines \n“an ensemble of class and distinction” / Fatea \n“infectious\, enlivening and irresistible euphoria” / Folk Radio UK \n“Music like this is a reminder why Hogmanay celebrations are such fun.” / London Evening Standard \n“bursting with joie de vivre and personality” / Songlines \n“the Led Zeppelin of the folk world” / The Scotsman
