Plasticine

Dressed for the part, trendy quartet Plasticine took to the stage under ethereal blue light, setting a softer, yet mesmerising tone. Immediately, it was evident the Scottish group had a slight fight on their hands for the crowd’s engagement; Plasticine had to prove themselves a worthy headliner, which they did with ease

Pale Waves

Samantha Fish

An inspired and crowd-thrilling set.

Kathryn Tickell and The Darkening

This was certainly one of the finest folk performances I have been to in 2024

NOW That's What I Call A Musical

A celebration of teenage hopes and dreams

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

You will believe a car can fly.

Murder on the Orient Express

Given that the stage version of Murder on the Orient Express is an entirely new play, one might have expected great liberties to be taken but the reverse was the case - there was an evident reverence for the source text apparent throughout Ludwig's adaptation that tiptoed lightly over the darker themes of Christie's novel, preferring instead to focus on flashes of humour and the cosy familiarity of a tale retold.

Art

Given the acrimony of Brexit, covid vaccination and even the recent Lucy Letby controversy, far from feeling dated, the play feels surprisingly relevant – an exemplar of what happens when we lose the ability to disagree civilly, instead content to take lumps out of family and friends with little regard for the consequential fallout.

Mahan Esfahani - Whispered Spells and Bach NNF 2024

Esfahani was our notional headliner, but one that seemed at his most content when playing with like-minded musicians, all of whom were playing at the top of their game.

Baque Luar - NNF 2024

Baque Luar is all about the beat, and that is what their first visit to Norwich will be remembered for, long after this year's Norfolk & Norwich Festival has ended.

Apartment House NNF 2024

The musicians’ performance was very respectful of the original album and largely managed to recreate its dark, chilling, chaotic quality while being able to add subtle touches of their personality

An Accident/ A life

Viewed as pure spectacle, this was the kind of grandstanding show not seen at the festival for years, thankfully forestalling what had been a shrinking theatrical component. The bigger question, however, is whether that spectacle served the show's strong autobiographical content.

Laura Misch - NNF 2024

Another wonderfully atmospheric music evening within the Adnams Spiegeltent.
