Adrian’s work was inspired purely from his lifelong passion (and perhaps obsession) with horror films, and those who create them. In 2012 Adrian decided to put his knowledge to good use and embarked on his first book, First Scream to the Last, which covered the horror movie scene of the ’80s. After publication in 2014 two more books have since followed, Second Scream and The Final Scream, which cover the genre throughout the ’90s and ’70s respectively. These three knowledgeable reference pieces also attracted the interest of various genre artists, who kindly contributed towards the work with insightful interviews, allowing the reader to uncover fascinating memories of those involved in the making of these movies. Additional writers include Wes Craven, Julie Carmen, Tom Savini, Reggie Bannister, Mick Garris, Tom Holland, John Carpenter, Heather Langenkamp, Katt Shea, Tom Skerritt, Victor Miller, Eileen Davidson, Dee Wallace, Adrienne Barbeau and many others.

Adrian has since published his 4th book, Bled Dry, which documents the history of the vampire subgenre. Various artists are once again involved with the work that looks at the origins of the vampire lore, while also covering over 100 years of vampires in film.

Adrian has also contributed to various other horror projects including the ‘80s horror documentary In Search of Darkness, articles in the Daily Telegraph and various horror sites and blogs.

History of The Chelmsford Ballet Company.

In 1947, Joan Weston created the Broomfield YMCA Ballet Company in order to give the more senior students at her existing dance school the opportunity to learn and perform to the public. It was after their 1949 performance of Coppélia at the Shire Hall that the then Mayor of Chelmsford suggested the name ‘The Chelmsford Ballet Company’, and with a small committee the Company was born. Since 1949, the Company has staged a full-scale production every year. Initially a part of the Arts Festival, and then the Cathedral Fringe Festival, they occur today as an annual event in their own right. Today the company is led by Artistic Director Annette Potter, a former dancing member. Annette danced many leading roles with the Company before moving on to teaching and choreography. The company’s patrons are Doreen Wells, Marchioness of Londonderry and Christopher Marney, Artistic Director of Ballet Central. The Company is a way for skilled dancers to perform together and to showcase their talents, but it is not affiliated with any one dance school. It has become a well- loved cornerstone of Chelmsford’s cultural calendar, and repertoire includes The Nutcracker, The Sleeping Beauty, Napoli, Pineapple Poll, Petroushka, La Boutique Fantasque, La Fille Mal Gardée, Tales from Beatrix Potter, Les Sylphides, Coppélia and Cinderella.

IMPORTANT:

Covid 19 update: Please Note that with regret, following government advice, Chelmsford City Council have taken the action to close all Chelmsford City Theatres with immediate effect and so the upcoming performances of Tales of Beatrix Potter have been cancelled and postponed. The Chelmsford Ballet Company committee will meet at the next possible opportunity to discuss the way forward.

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu – Candy Candy

"We chose this song as Kyary Pamu Pamu is one of the Queens of Kawaii, this song is super fun and is just the essence of J-pop! 

Sugary, sweet and best of all - about Candy!"

Twice – Candy Pop

"Twice is a cutesy all girl-group from South Korea! When it comes to music, there’s a lot of hidden gems that we’re yet to hear over here in the west, and it’s the same with candy too!"

Devon: 

Panda Island - Invincible

“My two greatest passions are Japanese kawaii culture, and music! My bandmate Sam and I always have the best time creating electropop as colourful, fun and sweet as Japanese candy. ‘Invincible’ is one of the first songs I started writing”

Panda Island - Sky Kids

“‘Sky Kids’ is a song about growing and moving on from the troubles of your past. We hope our music can give people the same feeling of joy we get when we’re creating it.”
