The Stereophonics

It’s funny y’know, as the film industry looks to highlight the careers of Freddie Mercury in ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and Elton John in ‘Rocketman’, I measure that no-one will ever be making a film about Kelly Jones. With 6 number one albums (only one fewer than Queen), a legacy of searingly honest songs in his catalogue, an accomplished guitar and piano player, I feel like we’ve witnessed one of the bastions of British music tonight. But Hollywood need not call – there’s 9000 of us in a forest in Suffolk that already know it.

Chilly Gonzales (NNF)

..one of the greatest acts i’ve ever seen in my journalistic career, do not miss a chance to see this consummate entertainer, Gonzales, C.

This is altogether more personal, dreamlike and surprising.

Voodoo Daddy's Pizza // Food review

BBQ Eastwood/Crouching Tiger Hidden Chilli

Interview with MNEK

There are two possible outcomes when you start your musical career at the fresh-faced age of 14...

Bourgeois & Maurice - 7th Birthday // The Spiegeltent, NNF2014, 23.05.14

We'd been lured down their hedonistic path with melody and dancing, like Peter Piper leading us headfirst into the middle of a Vice magazine double spread.

Roots Bistro // Food Review

Like fast-forwarding through a montage of Great British Menu, they reference local in everything they do.

Wok & Go // Food Review

It was so jam-packed with meaty seafood that I thought there’d been a natural disaster and half of Lowestoft had washed ashore into my food box.

Wild Thyme // Food Review

A shot in the arm for every veggie who’s suffered bland risottos while out to dinner with their friends.

Dray Yard Smokehouse // Food Review

I’m not trying to blow (hickory) smoke up their arses, but aside from the toothpicks, there really isn’t much to say against Dray Yard Smokehouse.

Zaks Riverside // Food Review

The message has clearly been passed through the generations that you’ll get some decent tucker here.

Interview with Courtney Barnett

I didn’t even sing in front of anyone until I was 19, I think. I hated it, I was scared to sing; it’s a vulnerable thing, you know.

Interview with Dave Okumu

Our primary reason for [The Invisible’s] existence is really to get Leo to go on Masterchef!

Ed's Diner - Chapelfield // Food Review

A special note has to go to the brilliant staff, who seem to be swept up with the American Dream as much as the diner itself.

Harbercue Smokehouse // Food Review

Slathered with Harbercue’s own selection of barbecue and hot sauces, it was meatopia. That’s a new word. You can have it.

Hot Chip // Food Review

Cooked in rapeseed oil, a ‘good fats’-rich equivalent, it’s like the Hot Chip chips have been encased in the golden fields of Norfolk and heated to a crisp.

Future of the Left // How to Stop Your Brain in an Accident

The whole album is totally unafraid of pace and on this one, melody is used to highlight, not simplify. Stormin’.

Walnut Tree Shades // Food Review

You’ve got two honest-to-goodness spaces – the Bar and the upstairs Diner – to satisfy the mightiest of hungers right in the city centre.

Iron House // Food Review

I’ve made such bold claims before as to say this is my favourite restaurant in the city – will it prove me right tonight?

Midlake // Antiphon

‘Antiphon’ takes them back to their roots. They sound more American, more classic and there’s a feeling you’ve known the songs for years. ‘Antiphon’ is a perfect assertion to start with.

Warpaint // Warpaint

However, they sleepwalk through the majority of the album, meaning listening to it in its entirety makes you feel like you’ve taken a tranque dart to the neck.

The Maddermarket Kitchen // Food Review

There’s thought, there’s consideration and that’s easy to palate.

Wild Beasts // Present Tense

Nice yes, but we find ourselves looking for an “Eat Me. Drink Me” to take the adventure on a different direction.

Little Dragon // Nabuma Rubberband

Little Dragon are back, so ring the bell: it’s [press] play-time.

Interview with Bad Rabbits

There is a lot of on-stage buffoonery that keeps everything light-hearted and fun at our shows.

Grace Jones // Nightclubbing (Island Records)

Grace Jones eschewed the expectations of her colour by hoovering up the rock, art-pop and new wave palettes like cheap cocaine

Interview with Micah P Hinson

"If you can move the tips of your fingers” - I mean really Kill Bill that shit – “get the fuck out of there.” Micah opens up about his life-evaluating crash.

Interview with Boy George

"For me, I’m a Gemini, so there’s always two people. I’ve always had really conflicting tastes and ideas about things and I just feel kinda lucky to do all the different things that I do."

Interview with We Are Scientists

‘Return the Favour’s like that though; you think you’re just easing into a nice nap situation, then blast off! You’re headed to the fuckin’ moon.

Interview with Nick Mulvey

Some of the songs I wrote can be a bit like, ‘check out my metaphors!’ I’m growing out of that though, you know!

Interview with Joan as Police Woman

It’s so easy to be negative and it’s so easy to hide in a place of fatalism and how boring is that?

Interview with Ducking Punches

Interview with Haim

Interview with Paul Daniels

"I will cheer and yell for the right to free speech, providing it's telling the truth." - Outline's Emma chats to Paul Daniels.

Interview with Lene Lovich

I just saw clothes and making music and art all part of the whole way of expression. It's very important and it's not hurting anyone, so why not?

Interview with Slipmatt

We used to go out on the piss loads after gigs; ruined a few hotel rooms and stuff!

Interview wtih MS MR

Ultimately we just made music that we both really loved; the fact that people are connecting with it is just amazing.

Interview with London Grammar

Sometimes at gigs, me, Dan and Dot will be cracking a few jokes on stage and I think people are quite surprised.

Interview with Gnarwolves

I honestly couldn’t care less about hipsters. Having your taste chosen by the lack of popularity something has seems fairly pointless.

Interview with Goo Goo Dolls

"Obviously there’s the standard things that tear most bands apart – egos, money and women - but none of things has seemed to bother us" - Robby Tukak on what's kept Goo Goo Dolls strong

Interview with Drenge

"My friends are in bands who are 25 and 26 are much more interesting and articulated, and do less immature stuff than we do!" - Eoin Loveless talks to Outline

Interview with Ghostpoet

"I don’t look at things in the sense of chart positions, or being A-list on the playlist, I just kind of make music and if people like it, they like it..." - Ghostpoet talks to Outline ahead of his NS&V gig

Interview with Kate Nash

I’ve been burnt – not just from having laser surgery but in life too, and I think it’s really important to not get bitter.

Interview with Craig Charles

It's nice to get a young crowd. I'd hate turn around and look at the crowd and see all middle-aged men like me. Boogieing like it was back in the day.

Interview with Wire

Pre-designing the music you're gonna make by the set of influences you have is a deathly awful idea. I think the best music that's made now is made in spite of that - just throw away the fucking book.

Interview with Babyshambles

I think seeing us do these songs live is pretty crucial if you want to get the full, 360-degree, panoramic view of the songs - how they live and breathe

Tegan & Sara // Hearthrob

The songs aren’t as personal as previous efforts.

Rilo Kiley // Rkives

The album is a good mix of country infused melancholy melody and alt indie epics.

Savages // Silence Yourself

This is the most vital, essential, urgent music I’ve heard in a long time.

Stereophonics // Graffiti On A Train

This is so much an album they wanted to make, not explorations of a blueprint set out for them, and it makes an interesting listen.

Drenge // Drenge

I like to imagine Tom Watson throwing an absolute shit fit in his local constituency office.

Acid Washed // House of Melancholy

Hold on to your harem pants and take tight hold of the ever-shrinking edges of your crop top.

Pet Shop Boys // Electric (x2)

The group seemed to inhabit this kinda subverted sleaziness.

Disclosure // Settle

Man, these boys make me want to buy a Citroen Saxo and drive it endlessly round the inner sanctum of the City Walls.

Interview with Ria Ritchie

"Pack your stuff and we’ll go.’ So I packed my whole life in his car and just drove home that night!"

Alan Partridge // Alpha Papa

When Norwich goes crazy, it goes full-on bat shit.

Interview with Steve Gullick

"Above all you need to be tenacious and focused.”

Interview with Friends

"Nothing is destructive. Ever. Everything is evolutionary. It’s music, you know, it’s not actually like a marriage."

Interview with Alt-J 2013

"Gus ended up going back to Ted Danson’s house for some Prosecco! He became aware that Ted Danson was aware of alt-J and he likes the album!"

Interview with Simon McBride

In the case of Van Morrison, the man is a songwriting mountain. I have a lot of work to do to match him.

It’s a visceral blast; a great snap and tear from a wolf’s jaw – raw, and bloody, and inciting overwhelming emotion.

Interview with Jess Morgan

As much as I love a good episode of Glee now and then, it does infuriate me how rarely you see a girl pick up an instrument. Either way I think Sue Sylvester needs to get on the case.

Interview with Foals - March 13

I’d love to say that we went to some amazing place in Africa and heard this particular rhythm, but it doesn’t work as specifically as that, you know what I mean?!
