SUMMARY:Belle Chen
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £15 / £13 concessions.Doors open 7.30pm\, starts 8pm.This gig is for a seated audience. \nNotes fall like raindrops\, quickening pace as the clouds gather. The piano melody splish sploshes into the electronic soundscape; the trees become denser\, the journey more profound. Belle Chen’s unique show\, Ravel In The Forest\, leads the listener through imagined ancient woodland\, quiet clearings and tropical canopies. We’re accompanied by birds\, a chameleon\, a dragonfly – the wonder of the natural world is imbued into this imaginary space. Fresh off the 2024 EFG London Jazz Festival\, Belle is praised as an artist that is ‘Original and provocative… feels like the sense of discovery’ (Brian Eno). In this Australian Music Prize-nominated artist’s live shows\, Belle takes a quirky\, yet tender approach to musical storytelling. With the unmistakable influence of Maurice Ravel\, the playfulness of Ryuichi Sakamoto and Joe Hisaishi’s melodic sweetness shining through\, Belle blends sonic synth explorations\, classical virtuosity\, and free flowing improvisations that feel equally at home on concert hall\, jazz\, electronica and experimental stages. \n“Original and provocative… feels like the sense of discovery” Brian Eno.

SUMMARY:Glenn Tilbrook // Colchester Arts
DESCRIPTION:Glenn Tilbrook – The Voice of Squeeze + special guest Leon TilbrookGlenn Tilbrook – The Voice of SqueezeGlenn Tilbrook has more than earned his place at pop’s top table as one of our most cherished singers\, guitarists and songwriters\, not to mention an in-demand and endlessly endearing live performer. More than 40 years after first answering an ad placed by Chris Difford looking for like-minded souls to form the band that became the much-loved evergreen Squeeze\, an ending remains nowhere in sight. \nSuch is the continuing work ethic of a musician who has never been far from the action since Squeeze made their recording bow with the Packet of Three EP in 1977. Those humble three tracks led to a catalogue of enduring pop classics—Take Me I’m Yours\, Cool for Cats\, Up the Junction\, Another Nail in My Heart\, Tempted\, Labelled With Love\, Black Coffee in Bed\, Hourglass (this could indeed go on for a while…)—as well as landmark albums including Argybargy\, East Side Story\, Some Fantastic Place and Cradle to the Grave. \nFollowing Squeeze’s demise in 1998 (a state of affairs that proved happily temporary)\, Glenn embarked on a parallel solo career that produced The Incomplete Glenn Tilbrook (2001) and Transatlantic Ping-Pong (2004)\, albums that showcased an ever-maturing melodic and lyrical voice. In 2009 came the fizzing energy of Pandemonium Ensues\, recorded with his touring band The Fluffers\, while Happy Ending emerged as his most personal solo statement to date—an evocative set of songs about time\, people and places\, featuring contributions from his sons Leon and Wesley alongside long-time collaborators Simon Hanson and Dennis Greaves. \nOver the past decade\, Glenn’s creative momentum has only intensified. Alongside continued global touring with Squeeze\, and recent work on two new Squeeze albums\, he has firmly established himself as a tireless and much-loved solo performer\, undertaking extensive headline tours across the UK and the United States. These shows—often built around his celebrated Songbook format—have seen Tilbrook playing theatres\, clubs and festivals on both sides of the Atlantic\, reimagining Squeeze classics\, showcasing solo material and fielding spontaneous audience requests with trademark warmth and virtuosity. \nThe 2020s in particular have found Glenn criss-crossing America on multiple solo runs\, winning over new audiences while deepening his connection with long-time fans\, before returning to the UK for equally well-received tours that underline his status as a consummate live artist in his own right. Whether performing alone with an acoustic guitar or fronting a full band\, his solo appearances have become a vital and ongoing strand of his musical life\, existing in perfect counterpoint to Squeeze’s continued success as a major live draw. \nAnyone who has witnessed Glenn on stage can attest to the sheer rightness of his doings. Armed with ready wit\, raucous energy and a seemingly inexhaustible supply of grin-inducing great songs\, there are few musicians able to connect with an audience so immediately and warmly. Whether fronting Squeeze\, headlining festivals\, or fielding impromptu requests that might veer from Jimi Hendrix to Tony Orlando & Dawn\, Glenn Tilbrook remains—by any measure—one of British pop’s most vital and life-affirming performers.

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:Caroline – A New Musical
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the East Anglian Touring Consortium. \n“A radio station for young people! Why do we need that? We both enjoy Housewives choice\, don’t we Caroline?” \n1964\, Clacton-on-Sea. \nCaroline and her best friend Mary spend their days stacking shelves and return home to their mothers listening to Housewives Choice on the BBC. Every night they escape to the pier to eat chips\, laugh and talk about music with Caroline’s charismatic boyfriend Robbie. \nBut a music revolution is coming\, and Robbie lands a shock gig with Radio Caroline – the pirate radio station blasting pop\, soul and rock ’n’ roll into every home in Britain. Overnight\, Caroline is hurled into a whirlwind of music\, mischief\, and a cultural rebellion that will rewrite history. \nShe’s not a DJ. She’s not a rock star. But in the middle of Britain’s radio revolution\, Caroline might just steal the show. \nPowered by the sound of the 60s\, Caroline is a bold\, funny\, and heart-filled new musical about love\, ambition\, and finding the courage to turn up the volume on your own voice.
