SUMMARY:Colchester Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:Dire Streets bring to life the classic songs of one of the world’s greatest guitar bands with a level of musicianship and attention to detail that makes them the stand out Dire Straits tribute in the UK. \nThe two-hour theatre show includes faithful renditions of classic studio tracks along with extended live versions from some of the legendary Dire Straits concerts. \nFor the best part of a decade\, Dire Streets have performed Dire Straits’ incredible back catalogue to thousands of theatre-goers across the UK. \nNo other Dire Streets tribute act comes as close to reproducing Mark Knopfler’s distinctive guitar and vocal tones – making Dire Streets as near to the original band as you can see live. \nThe six-piece band is made up of some of the country’s top tribute musicians and delivers a stunning show that fulfils their mission of doing justice to one of the most original and talented bands the UK has ever produced.

SUMMARY:Jo Harman: ". . . an incredibly believable and soulful singer."- Echoes
DESCRIPTION:​An artist who sings straight from the heart\, with pure\, unadulterated soulfulness and sincerity devoid of any histrionics\, Jo Harman 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.” \n​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. \nEven 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. \n​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. \n​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. \n​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. \n​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).  \n​​Jo Harman (Vocals)Emily Francis (Keys)Nat Martin (Guitar)​

SUMMARY:Granny's Attic | Colchester Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS: https://colchesterartscentre.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/shows/1173664190 \nWith exceptional musicianship and boundless energy\, Granny’s Attic are going from strength to strength. Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne (melodeon\, anglo concertina\, vocals)\, George Sansome (guitar\, vocals) and Lewis Wood (violin\, vocals) have honed their skills touring the UK and Europe since 2009. They are much loved by audiences up and down the country\, with bookings everywhere from Cambridge Folk Festival to Cecil Sharp House.  \nThe trio have been heralded for their lively performances and skilled delivery of traditional material\, playing with verve\, energy and their own inimitable style. Though grounded in tradition\, they are keen to push new boundaries by exploring fresh approaches and writing their own compositions. In October 2021\, they released The Brickfields\, an instrumental collection that saw them reach new heights as both composers and performers. This was followed up in 2025 by Cold Blows the Wind\, an album of largely traditional material which went down a storm with reviewers and audiences alike.  \nDescribed by KLOF Magazine as “one of the most exciting and accomplished English folk acts on the scene right now”\, this outstanding trio can hold audiences in the palm of their hand. \nQUOTES \n“Their high-octane take on English folk has brought a whole new audience to the genre”THE IRISH TIMES \n“They’re very well established now amongst the top English trad players in the country.”MARK RADCLIFFE\, BBC RADIO 2 \n“Great tunes\, great energy\, great arrangements\, great stuff!”JON BODEN \n“Astounding”MARTIN CARTHY

SUMMARY:Sherlock Holmes & The Hunt for Moriarty
DESCRIPTION:Blackeyed Theatre in association with Theatre Royal Winchester and South Hill Park presents Sherlock Holmes: The Hunt for MoriartyAdapted by Nick Lane from the work of Sir Arthur Conan DoyleComposer – Tristan Parkes \n“When you have one of the first brains of Europe up against you\, and all the powers of darkness at his back\, there are infinite possibilities.” \nLondon\, 1901. As the British Empire wages war in the name of a Queen whose health is failing\, a series of mysterious events reveals a crack in the high corridors of power. A crack that threatens to destabilise monarchy\, government and Empire. And at its centre\, controlling the flow of information and influence\, a shadowy figure plans a final deadly move. \nDrawn into the game and unsure who to trust\, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson find themselves confronting figures from their past in a desperate race against time\, aware that the most powerful person in the world could be in the pocket of one of the most corrupt. But just how much is Holmes willing to sacrifice as he faces ‘checkmate’? \nA thrilling adventure based on the work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle\, Sherlock Holmes: The Hunt for Moriarty is a world premiere that combines powerful performances\, a haunting soundscape and innovative design for an exhilarating theatrical experience. \n“One of the most innovative\, audacious companies working in contemporary English theatre” – The Stage
