2015 marks 25 years of Texas, in which time they have sold over 38 million albums, toured across the world and received an Ivor Novello Award. To mark this anniversary, they have already performed a sold-out Spring Tour, and have four further dates in December. But, in advance of their winter performances they have agreed to perform a very special gig just for the Canterbury Festival!

Their new album Texas 25 contains four brand new songs and highlights from the band’s greatest hits completely re-recorded and re-worked. On release it stormed to No.5 in the UK album chart and No.1 in the Independent chart.

Don't miss this opportunity to hear Sharleen Spiteri and the boys performing classics including Black Eyed Boy, Halo, I Don’t Want a Lover, Say What You Want, Summer Son, The Conversation.

Canterbury on Film

Message from Canterbury (1944) George Hoellering Murder in the Cathedral (1951) George Hoellering

Eighty years ago T.S. Eliot’s Murder in the Cathedral received its world première performance as part of the Canterbury Festival – an initiative which bloomed from the energies of George Bell, Dean of Canterbury, and the Friends of the Cathedral. How fitting therefore, that in partnership with the British Film Institute, this year’s Festival hosts a screening of Murder in the Cathedral, offering audiences the unique opportunity to experience a re-mastered classic film in the location where the dark deeds of its plot took place in 1170?

This is an opportunity to hear T.S. Eliot as the voice of the Fourth Tempter and to see Leo (Rumpole) McKern as the Third Knight. Thomas Becket is played by John Groser but the star of the evening remains Canterbury Cathedral itself.

Preceding Murder will be a short documentary Message from Canterbury made in the midst of World War II. This 20 minute work shows beautiful historic footage of Canterbury’s streets, surrounding countryside and citizens. Archbishop Temple’s sermon still resonates powerfully today. A huge screen and individual headphones for each member of the audience will make this a technical première in the Cathedral’s Nave. Altogether an unmissable event for historians, lovers of classic drama, cinema and the story of Canterbury.

Cathedral Nave Tickets £15 (bkg fees apply*)

The Festival is very grateful to the Friends of Canterbury Cathedral for their support of this event. www.canterbury-cathedral.org/friends
