Farewell, for now, to our Sonic Wave nights at The Cut in Halesworth – it is a fine venue, run by lovely people.

Nic Norton and Alice Morrell return with their first new album together since 2022's Killing Time

For a fun night out (and do remember to wear something pink on Wednesday) Mean Girls the musical remains a fond reminder of good times past.

A wonderful combination of history, farce and facts means that Operation Mincemeat is truly a musical comedy to savour.

Norwich should be very proud of Sound Ideas Theatre Company, and everybody involved in this kooky, spooky, production.

The Car Man is probably the best dance work that Sir Matthew Bourne has created since New Adventures' version of Swan Lake. Drive yourselves down to Norwich Theatre Royal and grab yourselves a slice of the action.

“HELLO? HELLO? No, I can't talk. I'm in Epic Studios”.  

Even within the cavernous interior of the Theatre Royal, this performance really did still feel intimate.

Migration, either as an economic consequence of war, or as a political escape route, is not something that is going to go away

What a night of pop nostalgia and cracking 80’s tunage.

Newmarket Nights drew to a close on Saturday night with headliners Kaiser Chiefs entertaining another glamorous looking crowd

Fiesta returned to the North Norfolk village of Suffield over the weekend, with another three day PRB takeover at the famous Suffield Arms

My Saturday night fix of live music from three of Norwich’s most exciting, and original, bands.

A three act operatic spectacle, packed with passion and power.

‘Clapton Is God’ may still hold true for some, but it is the guitar gospel according to Eric Johnson that I shall henceforth be following.

“This is not an experiment – you will bounce, you will laugh, you will experience joy”. And we did.

The sound and the energy of these former Boston-based boys is truly awesome.

“We're 100, and we are just getting started!” is the battle cry from Rambert

By the time we get to new single 'Anymore', anyone who wasn't already a fan has surely been converted.

A compelling performance. Highly recommended.

A fabulous all-dayer, in the beautiful setting of Earlham Park

A magical treat, in incredible heat.

Now that, my friends, is magic.

Gritty and sexy, and filled with the passions and power of a beautiful Northern love story.
