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.

SUMMARY:Mitch Benn: The Lehrer Effect
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £18.Doors open 7.30pm\, show starts 8pm.This show is for a seated audience. \n“The country’s leading musical satirist” The Times  \nPRESERVING TOM LEHRER’S LEGACY WHETHER HE LIKES IT OR NOT  \nWhen\, years ago\, a teenage Mitch discovered American comic songwriting legend Tom Lehrer\, the course of his life was changed forever. \nMitch looks at the legacy of the elusive Lehrer\, the creative debt he\, and all those who mix humour and melody\, owe to him and performs some of the more Lehreresque of his own songs. \nSince Mr. Lehrer (at time of writing\, still slogging obstinately along at the age of 97) recently placed his entire catalogue in the public domain\, expect a few Mitch Benn-ified covers of some of Tom’s most famous creations as well.

SUMMARY:The Monochrome Set + X Kaminski\, Colchester Arts Centre\, Friday 19th June
DESCRIPTION:Back in Colchester for the first time since 2016. \nThe band features original Monochrome Set members Bid (guitar/vocals) and Andy Warren (bass)\, with Dave Morgan (drums) and Athen Ayren (keyboard)  \nThe Monochrome Set formed in 1978\, and were heavily influential in the post-punk scene that evolved after the initial scorched earth of punk. The band’s early releases were on the legendary Rough Trade label before signing with Virgin offshoot Din Disc. They also released several albums on the Cherry Red label\, making a notable appearance on that labels’ well known “Pillows and Prayers” compilation. \nThough The Monochrome Set split in 1985 the next decade saw several reunions for both live gigs and further studio recordings. After a hiatus of over a decade the band reformed full time in 2010 and have since toured all over the UK\, Europe\, Japan and the USA\, whilst also releasing eight\, new\, critically acclaimed\, studio albums. \nNow in their 48th year\, they are beginning a new series of gigs promoting their new album and playing songs from throughout that time. \nSupport – X KaminskiMuch loved local noiseniks playing punk\, post-punk\, and new wave from 1976-82
