Stuart Preston

I’ve only seen him live once before and again, I was struck by what an energetic performer he is, not at all the aloof persona I expected.

There was such a great atmosphere in the hall, with many completely lost in their own world

In what has fast become an annual fixture on the Norwich musical calendar, it was back to Earlham park for another day of shameless nostalgia.

Must be amongst one of the best gigs this year

Norwich still has a big appetite for Reggae ......

I have to keep reminding myself that Dave is still just 20 years old, yet the confidence he has on stage is remarkable

I had a lot of fun attending the GZA show. I hung out with some friends, I listened to some loud classic tunes and I got to see an actual member of the Wu-Tang Clan in Norwich.

Stefflon Don brought the kind of show that I would normally never see, and it was very easy to see why she is so popular. …… I left buzzing after a brilliant night of musical exhilaration, feeling joyous, and having seen something that will live long in my memory.

...the fact that the whole night ended on current single Discourse shows how well received their new material has been.

AJ.. was great, his rapping skills are second to none, spitting out bars with machine gun precision.  

It may have been a Sunday night, but the Waterfront was completely sold out with an expectant crowd ready to show the band how much they have meant to us over the years

This was my 6th consecutive year seeing the band and I go because I know what I’m going to get – a cracking live band, a great crowd and the chance to bellow along to some much-loved punk classics.

2019 is going to be a big year for Fredo.

Beginning with Dr. Music and Before The Kiss, a Redcap it was a strong start, but there were also some pretty major sound issues affecting thing

Sadly at 10pm it was over, when it felt like we were just starting.

The Studio was packed, and as the lights went down I immediately felt myself perk up.

I have been fortunate enough to have visited the Cambridge Folk Festival on two occasions on behalf of Outline and they were brilliant days of sublime music. Pick of my trip in 2016 were Stick In The Wheel, and I’ve been impatiently waiting for them to visit Norwich ever since.

Two things gave this year’s tour an extra edge of anticipation – firstly they are promoting their first new album in 10 years Evil Spirits, and secondly bassist Paul Gray has re-joined the band, having initially spent three successful years with them starting in 1980.

Acid Mothers of Temple play Norwich once a year and you can always guarantee I will be in the queue to see them
