Charlie Landsborough

Charlie Landsborough is a one-off. As nice a chap as you could ever hope to meet, he is blessed with the kind of clear, distinctive voice that is given to few and garners legions of fans the world over.

Although he didn’t taste fame until in his 50s, having spent over 20 years as a schoolteacher, his rise was meteoric and since his first big hit, 'What Colour is the Wind', he has never looked back.

Charlie and his five-piece band are well known for keeping concertgoers enthralled. His heartfelt, telling lyrics and his very human anecdotes captivate his audiences. His music, which ranges from inspirational to country, from ballad to anthem, truly hits the spot, while on stage he is as entertaining as he is melodic.

First opened in 1989, the Towngate Theatre is owned by Basildon District Council and is run by the Council's Cultural Services section. After a period of partial closure the Towngate re-opened fully in summer 2006 as an important feature of Basildon Council's modern cultural strategy.

Although the Towngate Theatre was built as recently as the late 1980s, its main auditorium follows the traditional horse-shoe design seen in many theatres built during the Georgian period. However, it is possible to quickly remove and store the entire 232 stalls seats under the main stage, creating a massive 378 square metre flat floor area suitable for all sorts of occasions.

Work is continually underway to build up a show calendar which will include shows put together by Towngate Promotions, as well as popular, entertaining and occasionally, more cultural and controversial productions brought in from elsewhere. All chosen to appeal to as large a cross section of people as possible.
