To @15QueenStreet! …on Thursday evening for the August Creative in Colchester catch up. With most of the creative genius [oh yes] coming out of @15QueenStreet still slightly frazzled after organising the ACE Colchester Free Festival the previous weekend, this gathering was always going to be slightly more sedate than the Bandstand drum ‘n bass experience [...]

There’s no other way to asess a new schedule for the ACE Colchester Arts Centre than to work through the delights systematically.

We think… Yep – if you wanna hear The Coroner digging himself in even deeper, the Colchester Against the Cuts campaign reciting as many words as possible before the three [...]

We’ve blogged before about the Heritage Open Days coming up around Sunny Colch in September. Taking place across the weekend of 8th and 9th, this is a national initiative giving local folk the opportunity to poke around their home town in places where poking is usually not permitted. The Mercury, the Quaker Meeting House and [...]

No one likes to come in the bottom three of a poll, but here at The Chronic and we are looking towards the positives coming out of Colchester being named as one of the three worst cities [yeah, we know] in which to travel. The Campaign for Better Transport has just published its third Car [...]

And so with the summer Bank Holiday out of the way, the kids soon to be back at school and the return of the X-Factor on our screens on a Saturday evening – it all must mean that Wivenhoe Moving Image is ready to announce the autumn schedule. Hurrah! If you want to escape the [...]
