Jon Boden & The Remnant Kings

Colchester Arts Centre, 18 May 2026


Tickets £24.50.
Doors open 7.30pm, starts 8pm.
This gig is for a seated audience.

Live, Boden’s Waitsian parlour ballads and Napoleonic power-pop, are performed alongside the band’s sixteen-year back-catalogue of traditional and original songs and tunes. Bringing together some of the biggest names in English folk music, it’s no surprise that they deliver a deep understanding of traditional music with musical audacity and theatrical brio, and featuring the enormous talents of Sam Sweeney (Bellowhead), Rob Harbron (Leveret), Ben Nicholls (Seth Lakeman Band), Sally Hawkins (Bellowhead) and the vocals and pedal-steel guitar of cult singer-songwriter M G Boulter.
