Expect squirrel costumes, invisible bikes and even a magic remote control that changes people’s clothes! The Bopps then perform one of their catchy songs, which will bring out a love for music in pre-schoolers. Songs include Hungry Squirrel, Dizzy the Dragon and The Holiday Song.

A natural crowd-pleaser, his barnstorming delivery makes him one of the most sought after acts on the university comedy circuit .His first CD, The Unnecessary Mitch Benn, proved hugely popular and as did his second album - Radio Face. His songs are also featured on the recently released BBC Worldwide compilation CD of The Now Show. His third album, Too Late To Cancel, his first with The Distractions, was released in October 2004 and a follow up album, Crimes Against Music was released in the Autumn of 2005 to coincide with a national tour.
The Thameside Theatre will be filled with the sounds of some very cool jazz on Saturday 13 August when past members of the former Thurrock Youth Jazz Orchestra (TYJO) will be reuniting to perform a special one-off concert. This will be the first time in almost four years that the musicians have come together to play which will be led by former musical director and one of the leading jazz saxophonists in the country, Zak Barrett.
Thurrock MP Jackie Doyle-Price said, “For a band that has only been together for 8 months, the Sailor Jerry’s have done fantastically well and impressed a lot of people. I am really pleased for them. They were pipped at the post by Colchester based band, proving that Essex has got talent.” The Band won a prize package which includes the design of a band logo and a video master class.

We visited Thurrock Lifestyle Solutions who were on hand as well as many of the key organisations in the borough that are crusading for those with special needs. We spoke to council officer, Neil Woodbridge about TLS and the help Thurrock Council has given them over the years.
NEXT June, Thurrock will be host to an event which is the first of its kind in the borough. The first annual Thurrock International Film Festival, to be held at the Thameside Theatre in Grays, will feature films from all over the borough, the country as well as the rest of the world.
Through participating in a Royal Opera House Creative Partnerships young leadership programme in their schools, four young people have become some of the youngest in the country to receive the Bronze Arts Award. A great achievement for them. Here you can watch a film all about the process a group of young people went through to gain the award.
JUST A FEW films left to go now! Apologise to any bands we didn't manage to cover. Doll Set Tones came on in the late afternoon. The sun was high and spirits were higher.
SHE MAY be just a shy wee girl from Tillacoultry (It's next door to Dollar...Clackmannanshire.....never mind) but she certainly packs a vocal punch. Her performance was far rocker than many expected and it was very very good.
THE chatter of eager parents overwhelmed the Thameside Theatre. Behind the grand red curtain gathered young dancers and singers, adjourned in dazzling stage outfits and equipped with beautiful voices and flawlessly executed dance moves. When the curtain finally slowly rose, silence fell among the audience, and the performance was about to begin...
YES, every headline may involve a pun but hey outside of the Grays Beach Park it has been a fairly depressing weekend with the terrible slaughter in Oslo and the death of Amy Winehouse. Here is a new girl group making their way in the world. They are on twitter and facebook. All the very best to them.
NO, we had never heard of them either but that, for many teenagers, will confirm how out of touch we are. The girls went mad for Twenty Twenty whose brand of power pop really went down well with the crowd.
