Interview with helen ahead of the above performance

So here we go again, it’s day three of the Rock N Roll Circus and day two for me and the sunshine is out following yesterday’s downpour that would’ve put a totally different perspective on proceedings for the attendees and vendors.

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

Theres never a dull moment at The rock and roll circus: extravagant circus performers to bands who soundtracked early 2000s Britain there is always something going on!

Ever since this well executed event took place on Norwich soil last year, I had eagerly been waiting to see what bands will be performing this year and as with previous years, the line up most certainly hasn’t disappointed. There is something for everyone over the next four days, but day one is what today is all about and it’s as good an excuse as any to close the working week off on a Thursday lunchtime to be able to get into the city and take in the artists on show.

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

Forncett Festival is a reminder of what small, self-contained cultural gatherings do so well. They turn unusual spaces into shared ones, blur the line between audience and performer, and create a sense of community

Last night, I stayed up past my bedtime and broke the rules with the Matilda, The Musical cast, here is why you should too...

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.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, Latitude Festival has carved out a unique place on Britain’s festival circuit, placing major musical names alongside literature, comedy and the arts. 

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

The first of two nights at the Waterfront may just have turned this non-fan into a Numanoid.

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

It is time for my annual pilgrimage to see STIFF LITTLE FINGERS

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

On a reclusive Greek island with old love affairs, drama a plenty, and a slew of iconic ABBA tunes, Mamma Mia laid all its love on me at Norwich Theatre Royal.

Can a new festival fill the void left by V Festival? State Fayre makes a compelling case.

A compelling performance. Highly recommended.

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

“It’s mostly about telling a story…”

A magical treat, in incredible heat.
