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 will be available on the night and an opportunity to pre-order the new album.
Local legend DJ Ben Howard provides the soundtrack, with 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.
