SUMMARY:Jana Varga: "The stuff Carnegie Hall shows are made of." - FATEA. £20 adv. £22 door
DESCRIPTION:Last here performing as a member of the Joni Reimagined Quartet\, when she wowed the audience with her superb vocals\, be prepared once more to be mesmerised and captivated by the voice of Jana Varga. \n​Citing a mixture of influences – from classical music to songwriters such as Janis Ian\, James Taylor\, and the well-travelled folk of Paul Simon – Jana’s music transcends boundaries and takes audiences on a timeless journey. \n​With a genuine passion for storytelling\, Jana weaves rich narratives into every note\, evoking emotions and connecting listeners to the heart and soul of her music. She has her own distinct voice that continues to evolve. \nRaised on the outskirts of Bratislava and born into a musical family\, Jana was immersed in music from a young age. As a child\, she was already performing traditional Slovak songs and went on to study classical music in Austria and France. In 2014 she became a flautist in the Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra in Czechia\, when she decided to pursue the career of a singer-songwriter and moved to London. \nCo-produced by Fred Mollin (Billy Joel\, Jimmy Webb) and nominated in the Emerging Artist category of the British Blues Awards\, Jana’s 2022 debut album\, Foreigner Face\, was described as a “fascinating mixture of styles and very original” by Paul Sexton (BBC Billboard) and “amazingly beautiful” by songwriting legend Janis Ian.​ \nJana’s subsequent headline tour introduced her music to a wider UK audience and saw her first international collaboration with the Varga Quartett Wien\, a noted Austrian classical string quartet based in Vienna and led by her brother\, Pavol. \nPerformances alongside platinum-selling artist Rumer and other esteemed vocalists have garnered Jana international acclaim. Notably\, in late 2023\, she graced the stage at the O2 Indigo as part of Rumer’s band\, captivating audiences both as an opening act and a key member of the ensemble. \n​Earlier this year\, Jana released Chicory\, which was described by one music critic as “rich in cinematic overtones”\, and she’ll be performing material from that eponymous album\, plus songs from Foreigner Face and material by iconic performers such as Joni Mitchell\, Paul Simon\, Dusty Springfield\, and Carly Simon. \n​For this intimate\, stripped-back show\, Jana is accompanied by pianist Sam Watts.

SUMMARY:Dacia Album Launch Party
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £10 in advance\, £12 on the door.Doors open 6.30pm. First band on 6.45pm.This gig is for a standing audience. \nAll tickets cover admission and a free copy of the Dismanibus Dacia album to be collected on the door. \nDismanibus\, local melodic death band and titans of the Essex metal scene\, are launching their magnum opus concept album ‘Dacia’ at the Colchester Arts Centre\, in what promises to be a night of truly epic aural brutality. “Dismanibus\, for those who have never seen them live\, are simply one of the most enjoyable bands you will see in the Essex area.” – Jack Fryer\, Metal Recusants. \nThe album follows the life story of a Dacian aristocrat\, later to be remembered as an infamous traitor\, Bikilis. From assisting his life-long friend and mentor\, Decebal\, in claiming the throne\, following the unexpected death of their king Duras\, we see them consolidate power among the Dacian tribes\, outmaneuver the Roman emperor Domitian\, to pressure Rome into signing a treaty on terms extremely favourable to the ascendant Dacian kingdom and begin to build Dacian fortifications across the lands north of the Danube. The story follows their early victories and subsequent changes in fortune with the rise of a new Roman emperor and seasoned general\, Trajan\, as he sets his sights on Dacian conquest. It closes on Bikilis’ descent into despair\, disillusionment\, betrayal and sorrow\, as the Dacian people find themselves on the receiving end of one of the only documented Roman wars of extermination… a harrowing reminder of what the civilised world is capable of in its quest for control of wealth and coveted natural resources. \nSupport will be provided by four of the best local metal acts in the scene today… \nOlympus – Melodic death metal forged in Essex fire. Old-school roots\, modern aggression. They tear through the boundaries like blast beats through bone! \nBy Virtue Fall – Progressive metalcore brimming with soaring melodies and brutal breakdowns for thinking headbangers! \nKillerkorp – Military-grade extreme metal: Slipknot meets Gojira with a dystopian message in every artillery-hit ri􏰀! \nDraugrheim – Nordic melodic metal: from mead-soaked feasting hall tunes to blood-drenched and vicious neck-snappers\, Draugrheim come to claim victory on the stages of all lands!

SUMMARY:Blue Rose Code
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £20.Doors open 7.30pm\, starts 8pm.This gig is for a seated audience. \nFollowing headline performances in ‘24 at Cambridge Folk Festival and Gate To Southwell with his nine-piece Caley Soul band as well as a sold out bravura show for Celtic Connections at Glasgow’s 1\,400 cap Pavillion Theatre\, Wilson has spent the last few months reconnecting with his roots in live club performance. \nTouringin 2025\, the shows have workshopped new songs for 2026’s new Blue Rose Code studio album. The direction of travel seems to be closer to the broad Scots Folk/Singer Songwriter style that brought him to work with the likes of Karine Polwart\, Beth Nielsen Chapman\, Ewan McGregor\, to write for Steve Knightley\, and open for heavyweights like Van Morrison\, Deacon Blue and the Proclaimers. \nTonight Blue Rose Code appears in duo format. \n“A set of almost religious intensity and sincerity. Wilson makes widescreen soul in the spirit of Van Morrison\, and was full of the holy fire of live performance” The Times  \n“Ravishingly beautiful\, a burnished blaze of Caledonian Soul\, muted jazz and poetic recitation” UNCUT \n“Jubilant\, prayerful\, compassionate\, Caledonian soul maestro Ross Wilson’s latest iteration of his Blue Rose Code band sees his songs bursting with heart” The Scotsman \n“An expert ensemble\, led by Edinburgh singer-songwriter Ross Wilson\, brought the spontaneity and informality of an after-hours pub session to the Pavilion Theatre. The effect was both stirring and meditative” The Spectator \n“One of the moments of this year’s festivals. Nothing short of sublime” The Herald \nhttps://bluerosecode.com/

SUMMARY:JOHN OTWAY AND WILD WILLY BARRETT - THE CHRISTMAS BASH
DESCRIPTION:On the road again\, JOHN OTWAY AND WILD WILLY BARRETT “Alive and Gigging” at the Colchester Arts Centre on TUESDAY 8th DECEMBER 2026. Show starts at 8.00pm. For tickets\, go to www.weloveconcerts.com or call the Box Office on 07879 208141. \nJohn Otway and Wild Willy Barrett have been at it …. and each other…. for over 50 years. Hilarious …. totally outrageous …. superb musicianship: It’s guaranteed you’ll never see anything like it again. Totally unmissable! \nOn the road again with their ALIVE AND GIGGING tour\, this magnetic bond still holds after more than 50 years of attempted escapes. Still loved for their total in-yer-face originality\, the contrast between the deadpan humour of Barrett and mad onstage antics of Otway are hilarious to watch. \nJohn’s lyrical genius is ably complimented by Willy’s outstanding musicianship (he seems to play almost every stringed instrument known to man\, plus a few hybrids of his own making including the Bagpuss!). \nFor any Otway/Barrett virgins out there who don’t know what to expect\, be prepared for everything from bare-chested theremin playing to wah wah wheelie bin as the duo jump from one hit and 40 near misses to another: An amazing and irreverent performance by two master entertainers. \nThis show is unreserved seating. \nAll enquiries / disabled bookings directly through the Box Office on 07879 208141.
