*POSTPONED* Ady Johnson’s Annual Colchester Christmas Show

THIS GIG HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO ARTIST’S ILLNESS

We regret to announce tonight’s gig is due to be rescheduled as Ady is unwell. The new date (spring 2026) is still TBC  – in the meantime ticketholders may either have a full refund or keep hold of their tickets which will be valid for the new date once confirmed. We apologise for any disappointment or inconvenience caused.

This show is for a standing audience.

Celebrate 15 years of Tell the Worry Dolls and the forthcoming new album from singer-songwriter Ady Johnson at his Annual Colchester Christmas Show.

First launched at Colchester Arts Centre in 2010, Tell the Worry Dolls went on to win critical acclaim, including a Press Association Album of the Year recommendation. For the first time together since 2011, Ady reunites with his band to perform songs from the debut.

Ahead of the official London launch, Ady opens the evening with an exclusive performance of his new album, scheduled for release in the new year.

A 15th anniversary remastered vinyl edition of Tell the Worry Dolls and pre-release copies of the new album (vinyl/CD) will be available on the night.

With support from Indie Alt Folk Musician “Dean Frost” and local legend DJ Ben Howard.

As always there is the traditional offering of free mince pies for early arrivals.

Since 2010, Ady’s annual Colchester Christmas shows have been a popular festive fixture, and this year’s promises to be one to remember.
