The Cambridge Band Competition – Grand Final
2024-04-26 | J1 at Cambridge Junction, Clifton Way, Cambridge, CB1 7GX
The Grand Final of the Cambridge Band Competition will be held at Cambridge Junction J1 on Friday 26th April.
There are a number of cash, performance and artist development prizes up for grabs including the prestigious ‘Kimberley Rew Songwriting Prize’, and all finalists will get to play at Strawberry Fair 2024 on Saturday 1st June!

History
First launched in 1985 at Cambridge’s Guildhall, the competition picked up immediate national attention thanks to Trevor Dann and The Old Grey Whistle Test. Infamously, Colonel Gomez caused a national controversy with their performance on that show, controversy that even led to questions being asked in Parliament about the incident! More was to come though, with the ‘debatable’ decision to award the first prize to The Detective – a decision that caused consternation amongst some as, although they made the tapes themselves, The Detective performed on stage to a backing track!
In the last 30 years the Cambridge Band Competition has produced some great winners, and stars who have gone on to do bigger things!

7:00 pm taking place in J1 (Standing)

Tickets – £ 10.00 – £ 13.00.

Under 14s must be accompanied by an adult.

For info go to Cambridge Band Competition Final | Cambridge Junction

Well Beings: James Riley in conversation with Rod Mengham.
2024-04-30 | Heffers, 20 Trinity Street, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB2 1TY, United Kingdom
Heffers Bookshop, Cambridge, Tuesday, April 30, 6 – 7pm.
Come along to Heffers to celebrate the launch of James Riley’s new book, ‘Well Beings: How the Seventies Lost its Mind and Taught Us to Find Ourselves’.
Concepts such as wellness and self-care may feel like distinctly twenty-first century ideas, but they first gained traction as part of the New Age health movements that began to flourish in the wake of the 1960s. In ‘Well Beings’ Riley – author of the cult hit ‘The Bad Trip: Dark Omens, New Worlds and the End of the Sixties’ – dives deep into this strange and hypnotic world of panoramic coastal retreats and darkened floatation tanks, blending a page-turning narrative with illuminating explorations of the era’s music, film, art and literature.
‘There will be a Q+A and a book signing after the event (along with some refreshments!). Copies of the book will be available to purchase.

All welcome. Tickets available here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/meet-james-riley-well-beings-tickets-876710985157.

Thunderstorm
2024-05-14 - 2024-05-17 | ADC Theatre, Park Street, Cambridge, CB5 8AS
“All is submerged in the ruthless well of the cosmos.”
Thirty years ago, Zhou Puyuan, the son of the Zhou family, engaged in a secret romantic relationship with his maid, Lu Shiping, but soon abandoned her. Three decades later, by chance, Shiping’s daughter came to work for the Zhou family again. On a hot summer day, the aged and life-wearied Shiping returned to the familiar Zhou residence to look for her daughter. She recognized Zhou Puyuan, and discovered her daughter had fallen in love with Zhou Puyuan’s son, Zhou Ping. That night, as a thunderstorm erupted, the wheels of ruthless fate began to turn, and a moment of reckoning approached.
In this ancient Chinese family, there existed someone powerful yet vulnerable, someone trapped by love yet bold. Madness and foolishness coexist. Repressed love and intense hatred intertwined.
Thunderstorm is not merely one of the most influential tragedies in the history of modern Chinese theatre, but also a poem of love and desire. This adaptation and production aim to bring a poetic presentation to the audience with new visual imagery and digital installations.
This production is suitable for ages 16 and over.
Nightly performances at 79.45 pm.
TUE £10-£13, WED-THU £11.50–£15, FRI–SAT £13.50–£17

Also films, talks and events at Wimbpole Estate.
