SUMMARY:No\, No Nanette
DESCRIPTION:The legendary and light-hearted musical comedy “No\, No Nanette” runs at the Headgate Theatre in Colchester in May. Originally premiered in 1925\, “No\, No\, Nanette” was the blockbuster musical of a century ago\, full of romance\, wacky comedy\, singing and dancing all based around Vincent Youman’s tune-filled score which yielded the song that defined an era “Tea for Two”. \nOur production will be giving the show a slightly different edge\, with Andrew Hodgson directing the show in collaboration with Maestro Phil Toms as our M.D. and the brilliant Amanda Powell as our choreographer. The large cast of 25 performers is a mix of familiar Platform faces and several newcomers to the Platform family. We are thrilled to welcome Hannah Ambrose in the title role\, playing opposite Sam Carbonero as Tom\,with Graham Bowden as Jimmy\, Caroline Fritz as Sue\, Gareth Gwyn Jones as Billy\, Jayne Sheeran as Lucille and Kim Anderson as Pauline. Helen McCraw\, Jade Tournay-Godfrey\, and Naomi Carter are Flora\, Betty and Winnie whose arrival at Jimmy’s seaside cottage\, cause all the comic mis-understandings. Completing the cast are a fabulous ensemble consisting of: Joe Fusi\, Adam Duarte Dias\, Phil Ager\, Ed Mehen\, Elia Teatino\, Koralia Salacuri\, Chrissie James\, Nikki McCarron\, Barbara Ryan\, Fiona Bocking\, Dave and Dawn King\, Sally Leung\, John Davies and Lisa Pordham. \nTickets will go on sale soon so watch out for details\, and make a date to come and “Take a Little One Step” to see this delightful show! \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/905397572307059/?event_time_id=905399348973548

SUMMARY:Robin Nolan: For The Love of George
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £22.Doors open 7.30pm\, start 8pm.This gig is for a seated audience. \nLegendary in the world of Gypsy Jazz\, Robin Nolan is known as one of the most respected guitarists since Django Reinhardt. He’s headlined every major Django Fest across the globe taking in multiple awards and a loyal following of guitar lovers. \nHe’s graced the stages of Montreux\, North Sea Jazz\, the Royal Albert Hall and Jazz at Lincoln Center. George Harrison called him a favourite\, Bill Wyman had him in his band\, and Hank Marvin has frequently joined him live on stage. \nHis 2025 critically acclaimed release “For The Love Of George” (Dark Horse / BMG) is a collection of George Harrison and Beatles songs reinterpreted in Robin’s unique way. \nA real magic can be heard on the recording helped by the fact Robin uses some of George’s most iconic guitars on the album recorded at Harrison’s studio in Friar Park. \nRobin’s 2025 live show brings all of this together\, if you love The Beatles\, Harrison\, Reinhardt or Nolan\, you don’t want to miss this show. \nWith George Harrison\, Hank Marvin and Bill Wyman as his fans\, Willie Nelson said it best “You play a mighty fine guitar Robin Nolan”. \nGeorge Harrison “In these days of Cacophony it’s great to hear some proper music!”Bill Wyman “Robin Nolan is so amazingly good!”Vintage Guitar “Robin is an exceptional improviser… If you like gypsy jazz and you haven’t heard The Robin Nolan Trio\, you should.”

SUMMARY:Cara Dillon *
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £25.Doors open 7.30pm\, starts 8pm.This gig is for a seated audience. \nFew voices linger in the soul like Cara Dillon’s. A towering figure in Irish music\, she has earned global acclaim\, including the Meteor Award for Best Irish Female and four BBC Folk Awards. For nearly 30 years\, her voice—deceptively delicate yet emotionally devastating—has evoked something timeless and elemental. At her side is her husband and collaborator\, Sam Lakeman\, whose work as producer and musician has shaped her remarkable career. Their intimate live shows feature their now-classic renditions of “Black Is the Colour” and “The Parting Glass\,” alongside pieces from Coming Home\, her landmark 2024 release. From her teenage roots in Óige and De Dannan to chart-topping remixes\, Disney soundtracks\, and Derry Girls\, Dillon continues to defy boundaries. As Mojo magazine once wrote\, she possesses “quite possibly the world’s most beautiful female voice.” She continues to affirm that legacy—not simply as a singer\, but as a storyteller of rare emotional depth; her voice\, as always\, lingers long after the last note fades.
