CORBY CANDLE: KEEP THE CANDLE BURNING
A New Full-Length Musical Experience

From the Clyde shipyards to the open-cast quarries, discover the explosive story of the steel-driving pilgrims who built a town out of clay, survived the dark of the 1980 shutdown, and rose from the ashes. A 90-minute journey of heritage, heart, and high-octane rock."

Welcome

ACT I – Foundations & Identity (1934 – 1970s)

  • The Steel-Driving Pilgrims
  • Follow Jock and the Scottish migration south to the raw Northamptonshire clay. Experience the culture shock of a "Two-Tone Town," the top-secret WWII pipeline mission (PLUTO), and the roaring wealth of the steelworks before the executives draw their red lines.
  • Vibe: Industrial folk-rock, heavy clanging metal, and cheeky traditional ceilidh fiddle.

ACT II – The Storm & The Rebirth (1974 – Present)

  • Out of the Ashes
  • Stand before the massive Kings of the Overburden excavator on the morning of the devastating 1980 shutdown. Witness a town stripped of its identity, a new generation fighting for a future, and the ultimate transformation into the 21st century as engines scream across Europe's fastest racing track.
  • Vibe: Soulful 70s mod-rock, intimate acoustic ballads, and high-octane stadium rock.
