the big C promotions - Spring Edition

  • Saturday 4 April 2026
  • 6pm - 11pm
  • 74 High Street, Colchester, CO1 1UE

the big C is finally back in Colchester — and we’re bringing a night of sunshine-soaked soul, indie, jazz and grooves to the oldest art gallery in England’s oldest recorded city.

This Spring Edition brings together two powerful homecomings:

Gabriela Eva, returning for the final hometown date of her Lonely Bones tour

Amber Burgoyne, back from Brighton for a one-night-only return to Colchester.

Expect brass beneath the flowers, warm grooves spilling into the courtyard, and a lineup of exceptional artists filling The Minories with everything from soulful indie-pop to jazz-infused alternative R&B.

Headline act TBA — pending funding, this show may expand into a 250-cap outdoor garden takeover.

All tickets remain valid regardless of capacity, with no extra cost if we upgrade.

A night of homegrown talent, heartfelt music, and spring energy in one of Colchester’s most iconic spaces.
