Liveline - December 2012

I’m going to take this next sentence to be all reflective and nostalgic – a REview before the PREview, if you will. 2012 was GREAT.

Liveline - November 2012

If you have lots of cake and coffee, like me, and then read this list, you will know that there is a lot for you to be excited about too!:!:!:!:!

Liveline - October 2012

OMG Oktober is a fucken feast. Obviously the Norwich music event of the year is happening...

The Unthanks - Diversions Vol. 5

A collection of songs recorded during the Unthanks tour last year, when they returned to their roots, singing unaccompanied and in harmony. More a miscellany of tunes than a curated collection, this is nonetheless what traditional folk music is all about - reflecting on hard times with both stoicism and good humour. It's a timely reminder of happier times, when folk congregated in big rooms and listened to other people singing.

Sorry - 925

David Gray - White Ladder

It’s so very, very good to be reacquainted with White Ladder, this the 20th anniversary limited deluxe edition comes with as you would probably expect some previously unreleased tracks of original demos, rarities and B sides and for the first time ever it’s even released on vinyl.

Bambara - Stray

Twin Atlantic - Power

The Wants - Container

Dingus Khan

Ahead of their gig in a few days time, 29th Feb at Voodoo Daddy's we caught up with Dingus Khan

Gary Davies

EPIC Studios

Can you highlight any records in particular that you love or are a staple for playing live? Such a difficult question but my favourite artists from the 80’s would include U2, Tears for Fears, Deacon Blue, Bruce Springsteen -

The Levellers

Jon caught up with Jeremy Cunningham bass player of The Levellers ahead of their gig at Nick Rayns UEA on 20th March

Black Midi

Black Midi appeared in what lots of publications like to consider a puff of smoke. In late 2018 and early 2019 murmurings of them could be heard throughout the music scene and a month after their debut album released they were nominated for the Mercury Music Prize. Ahead of their intimate show at the Norwich Arts Centre we had a chat to Geordie, the lead singer of the band.

King Nun

King Nun really broke out in 2018, but with their latest album ‘Mass’ they’ve matured and really hit their stride. Label mates with the 1975, Japanese House and Wolf Alice, they’re in good company to get some serious traction. In October they played the LCR supporting the Struts, but as they’ll be back in the new year we decided to catch-up with them before they return.

The Neutrinos & Birds of Hell

C.O.L.L

Interview with Local Band - Swarmed

Up and coming scream metal band SWARMED are ditching sleepy Wymondham for rock and roll infamy ...

Chapel Club // Good Together

The title track itself has taken on a much more electronic sound, and sets the scene for the album as a whole, while maintaining Chapel Club’s distinctive vocals.
