About the event
From See Tickets's listing
SECRET AFFAIR + PURPLE HEARTS Eseential mod revival double bill. Formed from the ashes of Power Pop band New Hearts, Secret Affair built their reputation with sell out shows at the Bridge House in Canning Town, London and with a high profile support slot on The Jam's 1979 tour. Secret Affair went on to have 5 x Top 40 singles, 'Time For Action', 'Let Your Heart Dance, 'My World', 'Do You Know?', 'Sound of Confusion', and 3 acclaimed LP's, 'Glory Boys', 'Behind Closed Doors' and 'Business As Usual', released before splitting in 1982. After reforming in 2002 by popular demand Secret Affair released a brand new album 'Soho Dreams' in 2012 and a limited edition 45 cover of Frank Wilson's 'Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)'. Formed in 1977, Purple Hearts were one of the main bands from the 'Mod Revival' era along with The Jam, Secret Affair, The Lambrettas, & The Chords. Their debut single 'Millions Like Us' hit the UK charts and was swiftly followed up with 'Frustration'. In 1980 Purple Hearts released their debut album 'Beat That!' along with a single from the LP 'Jimmy', which also reached the UK charts. Two more singles 'My Life's A Jigsaw' and 'Plane Crash' came out before the band split in 1982. An AGMP Concerts presentation.

How I list these
Everything here comes from the feeds of the ticket and experience sellers I work with: See Tickets. That's a lot, but it isn't everything on in Colchester: venues that sell their own tickets, or sell through sellers whose feeds don't reach me, won't show here yet.
Events are in date order, and a show on several dates appears once, on its first, with how many more there are. Things to do any day start with the seller's own UK picks, then those rated 4.5 or more, guided before self-guided, shared before private, then by rating and price. Every ticket link is an ad: if you buy, the seller may pay me commission, at no cost to you. Commission never changes what's listed or the order.
A price is the seller's lowest for one ticket (or one person, when two book a tour together), as its feed gives it, and I've checked on each seller's own pages what it covers. See Tickets's includes its booking fee, and it adds an order fee to each booking (£1.25 to £4 on the events I checked), which I show beside the price. Where I haven't checked what a seller's price covers, or its feed is more than a day and a half old, I show no price at all.
I don't list resold tickets for football in England and Wales, or for any match in a UEFA or FIFA competition: selling or advertising them without the organiser's permission is a crime (section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994). Times are UK times. Events change and sell out, so the seller's page is the final word.
