SUMMARY:Sheyla Bonnick's Boney M Experience
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £31.50/£29.50 concs\nDoors 7.30pm\, show 8pm\nThis gig is for a standing audience\n\n“An exclusive event from one of the founding members of Boney M comes to Colchester Arts Centre.\n\nSheyla Bonnick’s name made history when she became the first leading singer of “Boney M 1975”. The powerful\, incendiary and phenomenal voice of Sheyla Bonnick sounds on stage from the day the band was found.\n\n\nThat voice gives one shivers in ‘the Rivers of Babylon’\, the unreal rhythm of ‘Sunny’ makes you want to dance \, and the first verse of ‘Rasputin’ gets you on the dance floor.\n\nSheyla’s energy knows no limits. Her dance moves leave everyone speechless and she always has a joke or two in her pocket. A truly unforgettable show with one of the most legendary singers of the 80’s.”

SUMMARY:Mediaeval Baebes 30th Anniversary Tour
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £35\nDoors 7.30pm\, show 8pm\nThis gig is for a seated audience\n\nMediaeval Baebes embark on their 30th Anniversary Tour\, celebrating three decades of darkly beautiful\, time-travelling song. \nThe genre-defying\, classical chart topping vocal ensemble was conceptualised and formed in 1996 by musical director and composer Katharine Blake when she and a group of friends broke into Abney Park Cemetery at midnight to sing madrigals. The group have released 12 studio albums and won an Ivor Novello Award for their performance on the BBC serialisation “The Virgin Queen”. They have also received two Emmy nominations and a Royal Television Society award as the featured artist alongside composer Martin Phipps for the theme tune of ITV’s hit TV show “Victoria”.  \nThis year’s performance draws deeply from their latest album The Spinning Wheel\, a richly woven collection of twelve songs for the twelve months\, from frost-bright winter laments to the heat-hazed longing of high summer\, ancient texts and new melodies intertwine in a concert rich with ritual\, romance\, and time-honoured enchantment. \nExpect voices that shimmer\, stories that linger\, and music that feels both ancient and newly born. \nThirty years on\, the wheel still turns… and you are invited to listen. \nThroughout their many incarnations\, the Mediaeval Baebes’ haunting vocals have led them to tour the world\, including the UK\, United States\, Canada\, Asia and Europe\, in venues ranging from castles and caves to cathedrals and Glastonbury Festival’s Pyramid Stage. \nThey have toured with Jools Holland and played at the Royal Albert Hall\, Carnglaze Caverns in Cornwall\, Jersey Opera House\, Tewkesbury Abbey\, supported Michael Flatley in Hyde Park\, and performed at the legendary Lilith Fayre.

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.

SUMMARY:I Hear Voices Theatre Company presents… A Ghost Story for Christmas – "The Wrong Doctor"
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £10/£8 concs\nDoors 7.30pm\, show 8pm\nThis show is for a seated audience\n\nI Hear Voices Theatre Company return for their now traditional (and extremely silly) evening of unquiet nonsense in a tale of mystery inspired (in part) by M.R. James and other writers of the incredible… \n\nMedievalist\, antiquary and genial fear monger\, Montague Roads Jim\, is poised to exhume another Ghost Story for Christmas\, but wait – the cosy familiarity of his Cambridge festive ritual is about to be rudely shattered by the unexpected arrival of two guest Story Tellers; in the form of a pair of spaced out and temporally dislodged Punk Poets\, from Wivenhoe… \n\nWhat links a hellish hotel room in Denmark\, a Royal Institution Lecture gone horrible wrong and a Viennese scientist with the naughtiest legs in Temporal Physics? \nCan Mervin Mule prevent two iterations of Brian Cox explosively cancelling each other out?\nWill Milly Bunt finally discover the super position of Kitty Schrödinger?\nCould Don Fletcher Park actually save the day with a filthy limerick and a cup of sugar\, or will he just turn out to be the Wrong Doctor… \n\nThe answers to these\, and other questions you didn’t know you needed an answer to\, will be resolved in this singularly bonkers festive crossover between I Hear Voices Theatre Company’s two popular series. So pour yourselves a glass of sherry and settle back to enjoy a brand new “timey-wimey\, spacey-wacey” tale of satanic shenanigans\, missing scientists\, and recursive chronologies\, with the usual extra helping of festive cobblers\, plus Donny and Mervin thrown in for good measure!\n\nWritten and Directed by Darren Gooding \nPerformed by Damien Bell\, Darren Gooding\, Dave Hughes & Sarah Ellen Young \nMusic by Darren Tansley and Tina Gooding \nSound Recording and Editing by Stuart Armitage
