The only place where you’re going to see the bands of tomorrow, today, including the Sixth Form College’s Weatherwax, the utterly awesome, Feedback from Stanway School and Britain’s oldest recorded town’s newest band, Sandcastle Jesus from Philip Morant, playing a super slice of classic indie rock.

It really is the final chance to catch this groundbreaking exhibition which has seen more visitors at Colchester’s art gallery than ever before. I for one am going to really miss those striking, colourful, gorgeous tapestries.
