The quirky British singer and electronic musician, Thomas Dolby enjoyed chart success in the 1980s with hits including Windpower, Hyperactive and She Blinded Me With Science and has recently moved into filmmaking.

His latest tour combines both of his passions, as he will provide live narration and musical accompaniment during a screening of his debut movie, The Invisible Lighthouse.

The atmospheric documentary focuses on a treasured element of his childhood, a lighthouse on an island off the East Anglian coast. It is now becoming obsolete as ships adopt satellite navigation and at risk of disappearing into the sea.

Thomas, who was raised in Suffolk, said: “Since I was a small child, I have fallen asleep at night to the soothing periodic flash of the light on my bedroom wall. Now, it is about to be closed down.”

See the show at Canterbury’s Gulbenkian Theatre on Thursday, September 19 at 7.30pm. Tickets are £20. Call 01227 769075.
