James Bond Concert Spectacular - Charter Hall, Colchester
2025-09-20 19:30 - 22:30 | Colchester Charter Hall, Colchester Charter Hall
Q The Music’s James Bond Concert Spectacular is the world’s finest and most critically acclaimed tribute to the music of James Bond.
Celebrating more than 20 years as the first original and pioneering Bond concert, they are known for their stirring emotional and adrenaline-fueled performances, mixed in with superb musicianship and flair. Indeed, every fan club around the world recognises them as the best and finest performances of the songs since the originals.
Focusing not only on theme songs, the show also pays homage to the complete canon covering chase music, incidental cues and suites from across the series.
Some of the most notable praise has come from hugely influential Bond related stars including:
Five-time Bond composer David Arnold: “They do a phenomenal job”
Former James Bond actor George Lazenby: “They did John Barry proud”
Sir Roger Moore’s Office (following his official Memorial at Pinewood Studios): “They helped make a wonderful day an extraordinary day”
Steven Saltzman (son of legendary founding Bond producer Harry Saltzman): “You did my Dad proud”
Even The Times national newspaper raved about their performance in a 4-star review of their West End debut: “It’s hard to imagine this music being served better. Simply stunning.”
Becoming synonymous with the top Bond events around the world, in 2019 they performed at an event with George Lazenby: the 50th anniversary event for On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, held at Piz Gloria in the Swiss Alps. In 2019 they had the honour to provide the music at Sir Roger Moore’s official memorial event at Pinewood Studios. Appearing in London’s West End multiple times they have sold out several of the most prestigious venues to huge critical acclaim.
The show features all the Bond songs such as Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, Live and Let Die and Nobody Does It Better – performed by musicians taken from the UK’s leading orchestras, sessions and shows. Caroline Bliss, who played Moneypenny in The Living Daylights and Licence To Kill, will guide you through the concert as compere, sharing the odd anecdote about her time working in this legendary series.
With stunning singing, an informative compere, and a show full of iconic tunes performed to an unparalleled level of detail it really is a night of the highest quality guaranteed. As the only James Bond concert created by die-hard Bond fans, for Bond fans, by people who understand the music better than anyone else: you won’t want to miss it.

Jamie Catto- The Old Forest Path: Book Launch and Performance
2025-09-20 16:15 - 19:15 | 63 High street, Colchester, 63 High street, Colchester
British musician, (Faithless, 1 Giant Leap) filmmaker, author, and transformative coach, Jamie Catto, performs songs and reads from his new book, The Old Forest Path – a children’sbook with evocative illustrations by Kanako Wakabayashi that intertwines themes of music, magic, and liberation.
Jamie Catto is a British musician, filmmaker, author, and workshop leader best known for his innovative fusion of music, spirituality, and personal growth. He was a founding member of the pioneering electronic band Faithless, helping shape its distinctive sound and global success. Catto later co-created 1 Giant Leap, a groundbreaking multimedia project that combined music, spoken word, and global cultural voices to explore themes like unity, consciousness, and human connection. The project featured collaborations with artists and thinkers from around the world, blending diverse musical styles into a powerful narrative. While his later work expanded into filmmaking, writing, and transformational workshops, music has remained at the heart of his creative expression. His workshops often include rhythm, sound, and voice to unlock deeper emotional insight. Jamie Catto’s work continues to blur boundaries between art and inner exploration, using music as a bridge to healing, awareness, and authentic human connection.
The Old Forest Path by Jamie Catto is a beautifully written children’s book that takes young readers on a gentle, magical journey through nature and self-discovery. Set along a winding forest path, the story introduces simple yet profound ideas about emotions, mindfulness, and the beauty of being present. With lyrical, calming language and a warm, nurturing tone, the book offers children a safe and imaginative space to explore their feelings and inner world. Each step through the forest introduces comforting characters and gentle life lessons that encourage kindness, curiosity, and self-acceptance. Jamie Catto, known for his work in music and personal growth, brings a unique sensitivity to this book, creating a peaceful experience ideal for bedtime or quiet moments. The Old Forest Path is more than a story—it’s an invitation for children (and the adults reading with them) to slow down, breathe deeply, and find calm in their own hearts.
