Shakatak

12 Feb 2026 - 24 Sept 2026

After a number of successful top-twenty singles in the UK, the band went on to score unprecedented international success with the release of the classic ‘Nightbirds” recording and the title track has now become a standard in the popular music repertoire. This success was repeated with the top-ten hit “Down on the Street and the award-winning video established the band’s personnel of Jill Saward(lead vocs), Bill Sharpe(keys),Keith Winter(gtr), George Anderson(bass) and Roger Odell(drums). With the magic Al Jarreau/Shakatak combination,the group went on to record the track ‘Day by Day’ to further international acclaim. Along with this successful recording career, Shakatak had firmly established themselves as a vibrant live act, combining astute musicianship with a sense of fun that communicated strongly with world-wide audiences. Their performance in Japan’s Budoken Hall won them a Silver Award at the Tokyo International Song Festival-other awards include the “Best Instrumental Album’ for 6 consecutive years-and other live concerts of note have been the East meets the West Border Concert at the time of German re-unificationin 1989 and the open air concert in Cape Town for the Millennium Celebrations 2000 where they played in front of 250,000 people.Shakatak have enjoyed a level of success and career longevity rarely paralleled in contemporary music – but then Shakatak is a particularly unusual group. Because of the nature of their music, their fan base is one that is far reaching while always retaining an ‘underground element’. This paradox sees the band, who are known primarily as serious jazz/funk musicians, enjoying both high ‘cult’ status and instant recognition as a household name.

The Motley Crew Sea Shantymen

The Motley Crew Sea Shantymen

7 Mar 2026 - 25 Apr 2026

Singing shanties and songs of the sea out of Brightlingsea, Essex. Long, long ago, a group of likeminded chaps hit on the idea of singing sea shanties for fun. Despite it being a late night at the yacht club, most remembered the idea the day after and thus The Motley Crew was born. From there theyve gone on to sing at fetes, smack and barge matches, regattas, dinners, weddings, parties, shop openings and numerous other events. Highlights include performing at the London Marathon, the Cutty Sark, the Harwich International Shanty Festival, and the Colchester Oyster Feast. They also get together at Christmas to sing traditional wassail carols, too. Theyve supported lots of charities over the years, but their main charity is the RNLI (as most of them sail, they figure it's a good investment) and theyve raised thousands of pounds for this worthy cause. They dont take themselves too seriously. Audiences appreciate their robust, light-hearted style and so long as everyone all enjoys themselves and the RNLI gets a few more well-deserved pennies out of their efforts, that's all that matters. This show is Reserved Seating - seats allocated on the day. For all enquiries / disabled bookings, please call 01256 416384.

The Monkees Tale - Live on Stage

Hey ! Hey ! it's THE MONKEES TALE - LIVE ON STAGE - A Tale of Music and Mayhem! The Monkees - Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork. This is an exclusive and unmissable matinee live on stage show in sound and vision and recreates the American legends and all their hits and classic tracks in a full afternoon show with full narration. Micky, Davy, Michael and Peter started out as TV characters a clown, a romantic, an intellect, and an innocent living in a Malibu beach house, episodically trying to make a go of their music careers in a light-hearted, often surreal, and very meta sort of way. Significantly, the characters first and last names and those of the actors who played them were the same, blurring the lines between fiction and real life. From there though, they did one better. The TV characters stepped out of the screen to become a recording entity and went on to play songs written for the show in live settings as a band. In this way The Monkees became a uniquely multimedia experience, spilling over into real-life in a way that was unprecedented. That first ever "manufactured" Boy Band was the brainchild of TV executives Bob Rafelson & Bert Schneider, selling MILLIONS of singles and albums ...starting with "Last train to Clarkesville"! Yet even today it remains shrouded in mystery...What really happened behind the scenes Hear the uncensored truth about Davy, Micky, Michael & Peter; enjoy all the MONKEES hits performed live by this amazing band as our seasoned host, Jimmy Rafelson unfolds the fantasy and fiction. All the hits and classic songs are in this live stage show including: Im a Believer Daydream Believer Last Train to Clarksville A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You Pleasant Valley Sunday Valleri (Im Not Your) Steppin Stone to mention but a few. This show is Reserved Seating - seats allocated on the day. For all enquiries / disabled bookings, please call the Box Office on 01256 416384.
