SUMMARY:Raku Club - Communal Firing\, Session 2
DESCRIPTION:**Please Read Full Description Before Submitting Your Order** \nPlease Note: This Communal Raku Firing Session is held at Cuckoo Farm Studios .  \nLed by Peter Jones with support from Makerspace Technician Ed Dan — we supply all the Raku glazes\, materials and fire — you just need to bring your ceramics!  \nIMPORTANT NOTES:– Booking for the course will be closed 5 working days prior to the session date– A minimum of 5 attendees need to sign up in advance for it to go ahead– If cancelled\, members will be informed and refunded– Otherwise no refunds or transfers– Attendees must be aged 18+– We provide an optional additional Raku Club – Hand-building session for those needing support on how to hand build clay objects suitable for Raku firing. See here for dates .– You will be working outside\, so please dress appropriately– Vegan soup\, sourdough bread and drinks provided. Feel free to bring your own snacks.– Raku firing is a rapid process\, only a few objects at a time will be able to be fired; this means the session will be extended over the whole day– The process has limits in terms of object size and suits objects that are not too big\, a size of H200mm vase form is approximately the largest that can be managed safely \nABOUT RAKU: Raku is a rapid low-firing process that is inspired by the traditional Japanese Raku firing. Western-style Raku involves removing pottery from the kiln while at bright red heat around 1000 centigrade and placing it into containers with combustible materials such as sawdust. Once the materials ignite\, the containers are closed. This produces an intense reduction atmosphere which affects the colours in glazes and clay bodies. The thermal shock of this also produces cracking/crazing\, producing unexpected outcomes. \nIf you have any questions regarding the course\, please email: hello@makercampus.co.uk \nAbout the Artist Leading The Session: Led by Peter Jones\, a ceramic artist who has run his own studio for over 26 years. He has exhibited widely and is currently an associate artist for the British ceramics biennial\, and consults and assist on many technical aspects of ceramics for artists and organisations. He was senior technician at Colchester Art school\, teaching the 3D Design and Craft Degree. \nNo Refunds or Ticket Transfers: Our policy: www.makercampus.co.uk/refunds-policy \nJoin Our Creative Community: Enjoy up to 50% off classes and 24/7 access to our space and equipment.

SUMMARY:"Cover Story" on tour: Colchester Early Music\, 4th October
DESCRIPTION:What makes a song leap across national boundaries and language barriers\, slip from the secular to the ecclesiastic\, and remain at the top of the charts for more than 70 years? We don’t have the formula\, but we know why these pieces wedged themselves into the cultural background of medieval Europe. The music is fabulous. \nCover Story tracks connections between people\, places\, texts and music. It follows the evolution of popular late medieval melodies across Europe as they are copied\, rearranged and repurposed over years\, and even decades. \nCatchy dances and lyrical chansons\, ingenious rounds and dazzling divisions by Machaut\, Dufay\, Bedyngham\, Binchois\, and many unnamed masters.

SUMMARY:The Delines at Arts Centre - Colchester
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £27.50.Doors open 7.30pm\, starts 8pm.This gig is for a seated audience. \nThe Delines were formed after Richmond Fontaine singer/songwriter\, Willy Vlautin\, heard singer\, Amy Boone (The Damnations)\, sing just one single ballad. He was so moved by her voice that he secretly wrote her songs for over a year before approaching her to start a band. Lucky for all she liked what she heard and The Delines were formed. \nFontaine’s Sean Oldham on drums\, Freddie Trujillo on bass\, Vlautin on guitar\, and multi-instrumentalist Cory Gray on keyboards and horns. \nVlautin is no stranger to critical acclaim in the US\, UK\, and Europe\, enjoying cult success and rave reviews from the likes of the New York Times\, Washington Post\, Uncut\, MOJO\, Hot Press\, Rolling Stone and the Wall Street Journal\, both as a novelist with seven books under his belt\, and as the former front man/songwriter of the Americana outfit Richmond Fontaine who produced eleven acclaimed studio albums. Three of his novels have been turned into feature films: The Motel Life\, Lean on Pete\, and The Night Always Comes. Ursula K. Le Guin said this of Vlautin’s writing\, “Willy Vlautin is one of the bravest novelists writing… An unsentimental Steinbeck\, a heartbroken Haruf\, Willy Vlautin tells us who really lives now in our America\, our city in ruins.” \nhttps://www.thedelines.com/ \n“The Delines’ exemplary seventh album… Vlautin’s latest pin-sharp vignettes of drifters\, con artists and the left behind… Behind Vlautin’s writing and Amy Boone’s poised\, soulful delivery\, Cory Gray’s horns swoon and sway in sympathy.” Uncut – 9/10 \n“With its soft-edged brass\, Wichita Lineman twangs and soft-purring organ\, the perfectly weighted\, often filmic music is impeccable\, short instrumental pieces punctuating episodic\, detail-rich character studies which singer Amy Boone delivers with her usual flair and poise.” MOJO – 4 stars **** \n“Stunning doesn’t begin to cover it… Over the last couple of albums there has been a growing sophistication in the way Willy Vlautin writes\, and in how The Delines interpret his stories\, and this is another step forward in that process.” Americana UK – 9/10

SUMMARY:James Bond Concert Spectacular - Charter Hall\, Colchester
DESCRIPTION:Q The Music’s James Bond Concert Spectacular is the world’s finest and most critically acclaimed tribute to the music of James Bond. \nCelebrating 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. \nFocusing 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.  \nSome of the most notable praise has come from hugely influential Bond related stars including: \nFive-time Bond composer David Arnold: “They do a phenomenal job” \nFormer James Bond actor George Lazenby: “They did John Barry proud” \nSir Roger Moore’s Office (following his official Memorial at Pinewood Studios): “They helped make a wonderful day an extraordinary day” \nSteven Saltzman (son of legendary founding Bond producer Harry Saltzman): “You did my Dad proud” \nEven 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.”  \nBecoming 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. \nThe 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. \nWith 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.
