Opus 14

Shakatak

We're delighted to be hosting a return concert by Shakatak in 2024. This totally professional and ultra-talented band of musicians 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 due to their many hit recordings.

  • Performance starts at 7.30pm. Doors open at 7.00pm

Who's Next

Who's Next are the premier live tribute to The Who. They capture a magical point in time when many believed that The Who were the greatest pop and rock group on Earth.

The result is a time machine ride back to the days of Live at Leeds, The Isle of Wight Festival, Tanglewood and the Fillmore shows.
The band prides themselves on not only capturing the authentic feel of The Who's music, but also the energy and visual impact of their live shows. So expect to see Townshend's signature windmill swings and scissor kicks, Daltrey's mic swinging, Moon's wild-man antics and Entwistle's icy cool Ox presence. Climb aboard the magic bus, a must for any Who fan!

This new band provides a vibrant tonic pumped into the aching hungry heart of every Bruce Springsteen fan.
You can expect an ‘E-Street’ experience that captures the unique seven-piece band line-up through arrangements from legendary concerts spanning the Boss's career.

More gems from the 1980s capture the crisp, rasping sound of the ‘Professor’s’ piano, Federici’s organ and Clarence’s sax from ‘The River’ tour, as well as a few stadium foot-stompers from the ‘Born in the USA’ tour.

25 April

Opus 14

The Motley Crew Sea Shantymen

A Special Matinee Afternoon Concert.

Singing shanties and songs of the sea out of Brightlingsea.

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 they’ve gone on to sing at fetes, smack and barge matches, regattas, dinners, weddings, parties, shop openings and numerous other events. They’ve 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 they’ve raised over £30,000 for this worthy cause.

They don’t take theirselves too seriously. Audiences appreciate their robust, light-hearted style and so long as everyone enjoys themselves and the RNLI gets a few more well-deserved pennies out of their efforts, that’s all that matters!
