Jo Harman @ The Music Mix: ". . . an incredibly believable and soulful singer." - Echoes
2026-04-12 19:30 - 21:30 | Wivenhoe Congregational Church, 101 High Street, Colchester, CO7 9AB, GB
In the age of beige, when the norm is to suppress the spirit in a deluge of conservatism and political correctness, it is a raw and heart-warming sight to witness, but Jo Harman can convey a song so soulfully that it elicits such an overtly emotional response.
​An artist who sings straight from the heart, with pure, unadulterated soulfulness and sincerity devoid of any histrionics, Jo was proclaimed “the UK’s finest female soul blues voice” by The Daily Mirror, while Classic Rock & Blues said, “She writes lip-biting, beautiful songs.”
​For this intimate, stripped-back trio show, performed exclusively for The Music Mix, Jo is accompanied by two world-class musicians in Emily Francis (Toyah Willcox, Andrea Bocelli, Rumer, Alexandra Burke) and Nat Martin (Robert Fripp, Galliano, Thomas Dolby).
​It has been a decade since Jo travelled to Nashville to record her most recent body of original work, the highly acclaimed People We Become, featuring Michael McDonald (whose other duet partners number Aretha Franklin, Carly Simon, and Patti LaBelle), yet her reputation and standing have only continued to grow in the years since, confirmed by her 2025 Female Vocalist of the Year nomination by Soul Tracks.
Even a global pandemic and the arrival of motherhood have done little to slow Jo’s momentum, and in a crowded music landscape, industry and audiences alike increasingly recognise her as a UK artist of rare authenticity, depth, and skill.
​During this period, Jo has felt a renewed pull towards Black American music of the late 1960s and early 1970s – songs that offered powerful commentary on social injustice. More than half a century on, their themes resonate strongly with her own concerns about society in today’s troubled times.
​This has led Jo to record her own interpretations of Donny Hathaway’s Someday We’ll All Be Free, then Andy Grammer’s Don’t Give Up On Me, and now the Ralph MacDonald/William Salter composition Trade Winds – a song whose message she feels profoundly – which completes this trilogy of 70s soul classics, each chosen for lyrics that speak directly to her deeply held reflections on the present day.
​All of this comes ahead of plans to finally release new original material from 2026 onwards, which may – at last – develop into the long-awaited third album.

The Talented Mr Ripley
2026-04-07 19:30 - 2026-04-11 19:30 | Balkerne Gate, CO1 1PT Colchester, United Kingdom, Balkerne Gate, CO1 1PT Colchester, United Kingdom
“I never wanted to murder anyone. It was necessary.”
Step into a world of deception, desire, and deadly ambition. How far would you go to become someone else?
Tom Ripley is a nobody—scraping by in New York, forging signatures, telling little white lies—until a chance encounter changes everything. When a wealthy stranger offers him an all-expenses-paid trip to Italy to bring home his wayward son, Dickie Greenleaf, Tom leaps at the opportunity.
But in the sun-drenched glamour of 1950s Italy, surrounded by shimmering waters and whispered secrets, Tom is seduced by the life Dickie leads—the freedom, the wealth, the effortless charm. Fascination turns to obsession, and as his grip tightens on Dickie’s world, the lines between truth and deception begin to blur. What starts as an innocent opportunity spirals into a chilling game of lies, identity theft, and murder.
The ten-strong ensemble cast is led by Ed McVey as Tom Ripley. Ed was one of the stars of the hit Netflix show The Crown. EastEnders regular and Strictly Come Dancing finalist Maisie Smith will star alongside him as Marge. This electrifying new stage adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley brings Patricia Highsmith’s iconic psychological thriller, which inspired the acclaimed movie and Netflix series of the same name, to life like never before. With razor-sharp dialogue, simmering tension, and a dangerously charismatic antihero, this gripping production will pull you into Ripley’s intoxicating world—where nothing is quite as it seems.

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown + Valhallans
2026-04-07 19:30 - 22:30 | Church St, CO1 1NF Colchester, United Kingdom
Tickets £26.50.Doors open 7.30pm, starts 8pm.This gig is for a standing audience.
Arthur Brown is synonymous with his 1968 hit “Fire” and the Hammond-driven “Crazy World” line-up which spawned it. However, his ‘God of Hellfire’ burned out fast and, in 1970, he returned with a new project: the prog-festival freak-show Kingdom Come followed by a varied solo career. Those initial four band albums, by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown and by Kingdom Come are thrilling, as tend to be Brown’s cameos on other peoples’ projects.
Best known for his flamboyant theatrical performances and his powerful, wide- ranging operatic voice. He has been a major influence on a wide range of musicians due to his outstanding vocal ability and wild stage persona and concepts. He is considered a pioneer of shock rock and progressive rock and influential on heavy metal music.
He associated with Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Frank Zappa, Hawkwind, Klaus Schultze and Alice Cooper and made a cameo appearance in the cult film “The Committee” and also “Tommy”. His countless collaborations include The Alan Parsons Project, The Stranglers and The Prodigy.
His best-known single “Fire” hit number 1 in the UK singles chart and Canada, and a number 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The album “The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown” had top ten success on both sides of the Atlantic. Following “Fire”, the press would often refer to Brown as “The God of Hellfire”, in reference to the opening shouted line of the song.
Arthur shows no signs of stopping or slowing down and continues to record and release hugely inspiring music, including his most recent release “Long, Long Road” (2022) and the launch of his new multi-media show “A Human Perspective”.
