Live Music

The Proclaimers

Craig and Charlie Reid return in 2026 with a highly anticipated 13th studio album and a string of major live dates across the UK, including a Bexhill date. Following the phenomenal success of their 14-month “Dentures Out” world tour, which concluded in August 2023, The Proclaimers are back! The pair have announced their return to the live stage, promising an unforgettable series of shows for fans across the UK. Known for their unique blend of pop, folk, punk, and new wave, Craig and Charlie will perform all their classic hits, including “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)”, “Sunshine on Leith”, and “Letter from America”, alongside tracks from their forthcoming album. With a legacy spanning over three decades and inspiring a hit musical and film, The Proclaimers’ live shows are celebrated for their energy, passion, and big-hearted, uncynical songs. On BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island discs, David Tennant describes his first track by The Proclaimers – “I could have chosen any and every track from this band, probably my favourite band of all time. They write the most spectacular songs, big hearted, uncynical passionate songs.” Earlier this year after Coldplay had performed Sunshine on Leith on the BBC’s The Piano Room, Chris Martin said “There is a whole other world of music behind that song that I’ve just been discovering, and they’re a wonderful, wonderful band. Now we live in the age of coolness doesn’t mean anything, just quality and soul. The Proclaimers make more sense than ever.”

Religion & Spirituality

Encounter

Encounter is a space to meet God in prayer and praise, by singing worship songs and celebrating Holy Communion together. Less traditional than our other Sunday service; it’s a great place to ‘Encounter’ God in a different way, particularly families and those new to church. There will be a laying on of hands in the Ratton Chapel after the Encounter service.
