Dance the night away to the greatest hits of ABBA and a selection of some of the best soul music. Whether you're a fan of ABBA or soul music (or both!), there is something for everyone in this one-of-a-kind concert by two established local singers.

On moving to London from her hometown in Colchester, ChiChi became a member of the well-established London Community Gospel Choir for a number of years where as a Christian, she travelled nationwide and worldwide performing at events such as ‘Live 8’ in 2005 for Madonna. She has sung with Boney M, Sam Moore, Blur plus many more and has performed in countries such as Ghana, Morocco, Austria, Germany, France, Greece, to name but a few, ministering and touching the lives of others through song.

ChiChi was also the Whoopi Goldberg of Colchester when she played the leading role in Sister Act at Colchesters Mercury Theatre.

Vijay Patel has toured the country with theatre shows such as Pull the Trigger, Sometimes I Leave and more recently Brotherly, Otherly, Disorderly - a neurodivergent pop concert. He is the Associate Director at CAC and now focuses on singing alongside that role - most recently performing at the CAC Freedom Road Street Party in August 2025. He is a trained accessibility coordinator working across Theatre and TV industries.
