SUMMARY:Graham Parker - 50th Anniversary Of Howlin Wind & Heat Treatment // Colchester Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:Graham Parker Solo – Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the classic albums Howlin’ Wind andHeat Treatment. \nSlinging his signature guitar and singing with inimitable soulful grit\, Graham Parker has spent more than four decades carving out a singular place in rock and roll. A critics’ favorite and a songwriter’s songwriter\, he emerged in the mid-1970s at a pivotal moment in British music. With his band The Rumour\, Parker released a run of essential albums including Howlin’ Wind\, Heat Treatment\, and the undisputed classic Squeezing Out Sparks\, records that fused literate songwriting with the raw energy that helped reshape rock in the late seventies. \nThroughout the following decades Parker continued to evolve\, releasing acclaimed solo albums such as The Up Escalator\, Another Grey Area\, and The Mona Lisa’s Sister\, blending British rock attitude with deep roots in American R&B\, soul\, and country traditions. Rolling Stone once observed that Parker “owed more to Dylan and Van Morrison than to his punk counterparts\,” a lineage reflected in the emotional intelligence and biting wit that define his songwriting. \nApril 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of Parker’s debut album Howlin’ Wind. To celebratethe milestone\, writer Jay Nachman has authored a new book\, Graham Parker: Howlin’ Wind\,featuring extensive interviews with Parker\, members of The Rumour\, and producer Nick Lowe. The book traces Parker’s childhood and early musical journey\, revealing the experiences and influences that shaped the songs on this classic record. \nAdding to the celebration\, a new limited-edition live album recorded in England featuringParker with The Goldtops and backing singers The Lady Bugs will be released on vinyl in May 2026. \nMore than fifty years after his debut\, Graham Parker remains a true original. His musiccontinues to blend soul\, rock\, wit\, and sharp storytelling in a way that few artists have matched\, securing his place among the most enduring voices in rock and roll.

SUMMARY:Dacia Album Launch Party
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £10 in advance\, £12 on the door.Doors open 6.30pm. First band on 6.45pm.This gig is for a standing audience. \nAll tickets cover admission and a free copy of the Dismanibus Dacia album to be collected on the door. \nDismanibus\, local melodic death band and titans of the Essex metal scene\, are launching their magnum opus concept album ‘Dacia’ at the Colchester Arts Centre\, in what promises to be a night of truly epic aural brutality. “Dismanibus\, for those who have never seen them live\, are simply one of the most enjoyable bands you will see in the Essex area.” – Jack Fryer\, Metal Recusants. \nThe album follows the life story of a Dacian aristocrat\, later to be remembered as an infamous traitor\, Bikilis. From assisting his life-long friend and mentor\, Decebal\, in claiming the throne\, following the unexpected death of their king Duras\, we see them consolidate power among the Dacian tribes\, outmaneuver the Roman emperor Domitian\, to pressure Rome into signing a treaty on terms extremely favourable to the ascendant Dacian kingdom and begin to build Dacian fortifications across the lands north of the Danube. The story follows their early victories and subsequent changes in fortune with the rise of a new Roman emperor and seasoned general\, Trajan\, as he sets his sights on Dacian conquest. It closes on Bikilis’ descent into despair\, disillusionment\, betrayal and sorrow\, as the Dacian people find themselves on the receiving end of one of the only documented Roman wars of extermination… a harrowing reminder of what the civilised world is capable of in its quest for control of wealth and coveted natural resources. \nSupport will be provided by four of the best local metal acts in the scene today… \nOlympus – Melodic death metal forged in Essex fire. Old-school roots\, modern aggression. They tear through the boundaries like blast beats through bone! \nBy Virtue Fall – Progressive metalcore brimming with soaring melodies and brutal breakdowns for thinking headbangers! \nKillerkorp – Military-grade extreme metal: Slipknot meets Gojira with a dystopian message in every artillery-hit ri􏰀! \nDraugrheim – Nordic melodic metal: from mead-soaked feasting hall tunes to blood-drenched and vicious neck-snappers\, Draugrheim come to claim victory on the stages of all lands!
