SUMMARY:The ELO Encounter: Blue Sky Tour
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £21.50.Doors open 7.30pm.This gig is for a standing audience. \nRoll over Beethoven\, because the greatest tribute to Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra is here! In an all live show featuring soaring strings\, striking vocal harmonies and playing all the much loved songs from ELO’s hit-filled library including Evil Woman\, Telephone Line and Don’t Bring Me Down. The ELO Encounter promises a night filled with rock\, roll and Blue Skies that would make even Mozart mambo and Bach boogie! So Hold On Tight because Rock and Roll Is King in a show that is guaranteed to have you partying All Over The World. \nNot only flawlessly recreating the wonderful music of ELO\, it’s a spectacular live show from start to finish. Stunning lights and special effects create an atmosphere that will have you fully immersed in the whole experience. As the ELO Encounter reel off ELO classic hit after hit\, it’s guaranteed to have the hairs on the back of your neck dancing in time to the music! \nAs a recent reviewer remarked\, “Not really a tribute\, that cheapens what this band does\, which is to transport you back to those days. So sensitively and authentically done\, at times it felt like it was actually ELO being mirrored up there on the stage”. \nThat’s what The ELO Encounter tribute show is all about. \n⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Certainly went down a storm!” – Quay Theatre⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A brilliant night out” – Steve Scruton – BBC Radio

SUMMARY:Gaz Brookfield: Waiting For Wisdom 2025 Tour
DESCRIPTION:Waiting For Wisdom 2025 tour \nFollowing the release of his tenth studio album\, Waiting ForWisdom\, Gaz Brookfield takes to the road once more. \nFolk/Punk festival favourite\, Brookfield has been at this for a while now. Since winning Acoustic Magazine Singer/Songwriter of the year way back in 2010 he has continued to tirelessly tour the length and breadth of the country\, building a strong and loyal following where he goes. \nHis last album\, Morning Walking Club\, saw Gaz achieve his first top 40 record\, and it even got number 1 in the UK Official Folk Charts. Not a bad result for this fiercely independent musician\, with no record label\, no manager\, and no agent – just a guitar\, a van\, and a steadfastly belligerent refusal to give in.

SUMMARY:Funeral Teeth
DESCRIPTION:Maybe you’ve lost your marbles… Or maybe you’ve found the most transformative piece of theatre that you’ll see this year. Probably both. Nominated for a London Pub Theatres award in its debut run\, ‘funeral teeth’ promises a night of chaos. \nWhat and who are we allowed to grieve? And does that really matter? \nLoss is the only truly universal experience. Whether it’s coming to terms with the passing of a loved one\, tucking the first tooth you’ve lost under your pillow\, or realising that maybe you should have got that map out after all… – we’ve all been there. What’s more\, we’re going to keep coming face to face with loss. Lose yourself (geddit?) in the latest piece by Succulent Theatre\, unpacking what loss looks like to them\, what it looks like to you\, and what it could look like for all of us.

SUMMARY:Blazin' Fiddles at Colchester Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:Take the finest exponents of their native Scottish fiddle styles\, the finest backing in folk music\, and some of the Highlands and Islands’ famed warmth and craic… distil for over 25 years\, and you get Blazin’ Fiddles! \n One of the most lauded and best-loved acts of the Scottish music scene\, from the moment the multi award-winning Blazers take the stage to whisk you on a thrilling musical journey\, you’re in the finest of company. The mastery of fiddle virtuosos\, Jenna Reid (Shetland)\, Kristan Harvey (Orkney) and Rua Macmillan (Highlands)\, grounded by the second to none\, driving accompaniment of Angus Lyon (piano) and Anna Massie (guitar)\, will leave you reeling. \nFor over a quarter of a century\, no other band has quite captured Scottish fiddle music’s variety\, energy and sensitivity like Blazin’ Fiddles. Atop many musical twists and turns\, the group’s quicksilver playing is matched by lightning sharp humour and uproarious stories from their many tunes and travels. Whatever the hall – whether of the Royal Albert or highland village variety – they’ll turn it into the liveliest and warmest of hootenannies. \n“the band’s passion is gloriously infectious… a much loved staple on the Scots traditional scene for the past 20 years” / Songlines \n“an ensemble of class and distinction” / Fatea \n“infectious\, enlivening and irresistible euphoria” / Folk Radio UK \n“Music like this is a reminder why Hogmanay celebrations are such fun.” / London Evening Standard \n“bursting with joie de vivre and personality” / Songlines \n“the Led Zeppelin of the folk world” / The Scotsman
