Tom Kitching ‘Where There’s Brass’  Sunday 16th 2024 at Harwich Arts & Heritage Centre Main Road Harwich, Essex CO12 4AJ. 2PM – 4PM

Author and musician Tom Kitching launches his new book and album, ‘Where There’s Brass’, with a special storytelling and music concert tour.

Documenting six months living in the London waterways community, making the long journey across England from Manchester on a traditional narrowboat built in 1937, ‘Where There’s Brass’ tells the story of the contemporary London water ways; a floating slum at worst, a bohemian, alternative, vibrant community at best.

The Spiderz Band present ‘The World of David Bowie’

March 14th 2024 at 8PM.

The Spiderz Band comprises a core of five local ‘lads’ who have, more or less, known each other for more years than they care to admit.

Whilst they play general covers they specialise in the works of David Bowie, occasionally with other near-local musicians. These ‘guests’ usually wake up chained in a cellar with a sore head and are instructed to learn various songs. The band pride themselves in keeping alive the old tradition of press-ganging – a popular recruitment technique in sea ports historically.
