SUMMARY:Simon Carter: From the Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Essex artist Simon Carter transforms Firstsite’s gallery with From the Landscape\, an immersive exhibition inspired by the Essex coast and countryside.\n\nCarter has spent more than 40 years walking\, drawing and painting the landscape around him. The exhibition brings together more than 30 acrylic paintings and drawings made since 2020\, an early watercolour painted when he was 23\, and three new series created especially for Firstsite.\n\nRather than simply hanging works on gallery walls\, From the Landscape uses painted surfaces\, installation and sound to create an environment visitors can move through. A 19-metre wall carries 500 monochrome painted sketches\, while recordings made by Carter during his daily walks bring sounds from the Essex coast into the gallery.\n\nCarter is based in Frinton and is President of Colchester Art Society. He has previously been Artist-in-Residence at both the University of Essex and Firstsite.\n\nFrom the Landscape runs from Saturday 19 September 2026 until Sunday 17 January 2027.\n\nAdmission is free and no booking is required.\n\nFirstsite is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 10am to 5pm\, Thursday to Saturday from 10am to 10pm\, and Sunday from 10am to 5pm. It is closed on Mondays.

SUMMARY:Art Show by Nick Mair with Stella Davis
DESCRIPTION:Nick Mair returns to Level Best Art Gallery in Colchester this November for his second exhibition at the gallery\, showing work created in collaboration with Stella Davis. \nNick chooses the subjects for the pictures\, generally drawing inspiration from natural history\, before working with Stella to interpret them through painting. The pair work together once a month at the L’Arche Community in Ipswich\, where Nick lives. \nThe exhibition reflects their collaborative approach\, with each bringing something to the work that\, as Level Best explains\, neither could create alone. \nThe exhibition runs at Level Best Art Gallery from Tuesday 3rd to Saturday 28th November 2026.

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:Saturday Soul: Noel McCalla
DESCRIPTION:Backed by a top-drawer band with impressive CVs to match\, prepare to embark on a soulful journey with outstanding vocalist Noel McCalla\, who will perform his own authentic and diverse original compositions as well as songs by soul superstars such as Al Green\, Bill Withers\, Marvin Gaye\, and Curtis Mayfield\, plus performers like Sting. \nDescribed by Blues & Soul magazine as “one of Britain’s best soul singers”\, Noel is a world-class vocalist and frontman; his captivating control over the band and his audience interaction and involvement make for an exhilarating musical experience. \nPerforming a combination of amazing ‘groove’-based originals and some timeless soul standards in his own fiery\, high-energy style\, if you love imaginative composition mixed with an exciting vocal performance by an enormously gifted songwriter\, be there!  \n​NOEL McCALLANoel’s career started in the 70s with the band Moon\, who recorded two albums for Epic Records. When Moon disbanded in 1976\, Noel released a solo album\, Night Time Emotion\, produced by Trevor Rabin. He also worked and toured America with Sniff ‘n’ the Tears\, where his voice was integral on the hit single Driver’s Seat. \nIn the early 80s\, Noel formed Contact (subsequently renamed McCalla) and released the critically acclaimed Push and Pull\, followed by the equally well-received Hot from the Smoke. \n​As well as previous collaborations with master bassist Alfonso Johnson\, singer/songwriter Paul Weller\, and Dave Lewis 1 Up\, Noel really began garnering more public attention and acclaim in the mid-80s with the seminal jazz-funk band Morrissey Mullen\, providing vocals on their 1985 release\, This Must Be The Place.  \nHe did likewise on the legendary Icelandic jazz-rock band Mezzoforte’s No Limits\, while also providing vocals on Mike Rutherford’s highly acclaimed album\, Smallcreep’s Day. \n​From the early 90s\, Noel’s searing\, soulful vocals were featured with the iconic Manfred Mann’s Earth Band for more than 19 years and\, more recently\, with the Derek Nash Funk Experience\, and City Funk Orchestra. \n​Currently\, Noel is arguably best known as co-leader with Jools Holland’s lead saxophonist Derek Nash of the enormously popular The Wonder of Stevie show. \n​​Noel McCalla (Vocals\, Tim Cansfield (Guitar)\, Henry Thomas (Bass Guitar)\, Nic France (Drums)

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/
