The Pharcyde // Norwich Arts Centre, 29.07.12

The Pharcyde - Still Phat After All These Years...

How Like an Angel // NNF2012, Norwich Cathedral - 27.06.12

They dove headfirst from the highest rafters of the church, or dropped seemingly without control from the top of a rope... - Lizz reviews the dazzling How Like an Angel...

Ultravox // Brilliant

"They have decided to join the ranks of musicians reforming in this the 21st century of our world; it’s pretty awful, people."

Patti Smith // Banga

“It’s a strange old mix of songs, at times jazzy and light, at others rocky and mystical…”

Kindur // NNF2012, Epic Studios - 26.05.2012

"Such great joy and peace being achieved with simple physical dancing...well, it was life affirming." - Lizz enters the world of Kindur...

Paper Cinema Odyssey // NNF2012, The Playhouse - 20.05.2012

"Although the equipment used is very modern, the experience felt very ancient...being told a story by a group of what felt like magicians." - Lizz reviews the Paper Cinema Odyssey

Alex Horne // Norwich Arts Centre - 02.05.2012

"At the present time he is working on his attempt to become the World’s Oldest Man (personal best:33)" - Lizz reviews the Alex Horne gig...

Berlin Symphony Orchestra with Julian LIoyd Webber // St Andrews Hall - 09.05.2012

"Lloyd Webber joined the stage for the next two pieces, the three part Haydn cello concerto which blew me away. His style and playfulness made playing the cello look so easy...unbelievable."

Damon Albarn // Dr Dee

"Applecarts’, possibly one of my favourite songs ever already, is the most lovely, birdsongy, gentle and folky piece you will ever hear..." - Lizz reviews the new Albarn LP

Interview with Alex Horne

"People were heckling with acronyms I'd never heard of. Back then I had no idea what ROFL meant. I've only just discovered that YSSSTSOT stands for You Simply Shouldn't Say That Sort Of Thing."

Graham Coxon // A&E

We have something that’s quite thoughtful, ploddy and dark in paces, as well as times of manic repetitious desperation and occasional pop riffs.

Naughty by Nature // Anthem Inc

Did you know that the Naughty by Nature bwoys have been going for 20 years? Holy hip hop.

Field Music // Plumb

This is what Steely Dan would sound like if they started afresh in 2012. Orchestral at times, at others sounding a bit like The Feeling...

Alabama 3 // Shoplifting 4 Jesus

The heavy beats, the variety of sounds and pace throughout this album are like something I haven’t heard for a long time, something innovative, brave and...dare I say it, fun and unpretentious...

The Lemonheads // Laughing All the Way to the Cleaners

"Apparently they had an album of covers out in 2009 which included guest vocals from people like Liv Tyler and Kate Moss (what? I know.)"

The Smashing Pumpkins // Siamese Dream (Remastered)

"Flannel shirts, big black jumpers, DM boots and an occasional floppy dress were de rigeur, and Nirvana and The Smashing Pumpkins were top of my listening list."

Midwinter Moonshine // NAC - 21.12.11

"It was completely sold out, full of the young and the old, some in finery, some in jeans, but all up for a toe tapping time courtesy of local bands..."

Wakey! Wakey! // Almost Everything I Wish I'd Said the Last Time I Saw You

"Basically it’s Coldplay meets Keane meets John Barrowman, in a crazy melange of love songs directed in a rather insincere fashion..."

Herman Dune // Strange Moosic

"It’s like a lovely, innocent return to the indie pop of the late 90s; if you liked The Auteurs, Pavement or the Divine Comedy, then you’ll love this band..."
