8:00 PM - BALACLAVA KID AND DAD

+ Transept All tickets £5.00 Balaclava Kid & Dad return with a debut show for NNF12. The two-piece, consisting of baritone guitar, drums, various live looping and bass effects, have been working on a new show to create an offbeat thunderous live experience intended to encompass the audience within the intimate site of a disused church in the centre of Norwich. Inspired by feelings of nostalgia for their Welsh roots, the show seeks to explore the contrasts between beauty and bleakness, industry and dereliction, West and East. Influenced by the stark, gritty audio visual landscapes created by Ennio Morricone in his spaghetti westerns the show will apply the use of surround sound, 3D visuals and animations to explore the same wild frontier feelings. Working collaboratively with a sound designer, visual artist and lighting designer the combined audio visual experience is intended to provoke a feeling within the audience of conflicting narratives through scores designed to chop and change, taking them on a sonorous roar of musical exploration. ‘…a glorious racket…’- John Kennedy XFM

Big and bold, but avoiding theatrical cheese. Every note serves a purpose and has its place, nothing is wasted and nothing is missed.” (Music-News.com) The toast of 2011′s South By Southwest festival (tipped in advance by NPR’s influential All Songs Considered; ranked as a highlight by US indie bible Paste magazine), Scotland’s Admiral Fallow continue their seemingly unstoppable mission to capture hearts and minds. They steal the former with beautiful melodies, sumptuous orchestration and bittersweet boy/girl vocals, while unforgettably colonising the latter thanks to lead singer/guitarist Louis Abbott’s exquisitely observed, hauntingly candid lyrics.

8pm £15.00 : £12.50 concessions : seated Suzy Bogguss had a revelation on stage with Garrison Keillor in 2008. Everyone loves to sing along on “Red River Valley” – except the children who somehow don’t know the song. Folk songs are the scrapbook of the American experience, but as music education fades from our public schools, she worried; these beautiful melodies are in danger of being overlooked. She resolved to record these timeless songs in an updated but reverent way – so that everyone can sing along on “Red River Valley.” And who better than the golden throated Suzy? The platinum selling songstress already has a full bookshelf of Grammy and CMA awards and now with the release of American Folk Songbook she can put her own book up there too. The CD and companion Songbook was released on July 18, 2011 at Cracker Barrel Country Stores followed by a wide release to other fine retail and digital outlets on August 2, 2011.

£7.00 : £5.00 concessions : £20 family ticket : seated Based on the best-selling book by Faustin Charles and Mike Terry, the funny tale of a brave little mouse and a very snappy crocodile. Deep in the forest, by the banks of a great river, lived a very selfish crocodile who wouldn’t share his river with any of the other creatures. So, the animals stayed away. But one day the crocodile had a toothache. Nobody dared to help him, until a brave little mouse found a clever way to solve this snappy dilemma! This is a funny, heart-warming take with a very happy ending which reminds us all that the smallest act of kindness often has the greatest impact. A must-see for 3 – 7 year olds, their grown-up’s, and of course, anybody with a pet crocodile.

8:00 PM - NORWICH BLUES EXPLOSION 2

£5.00 adv : £7.00 door Featuring Dove and Boweevil + Soho Blues. Dove and Boweevil They are noted as the best acoustic blues duos in East Anglia fronted by Lauren Dove and Mark Howes on acoustic and Dobro guitar. Some could easily argue that Norfolk is England’s answer to the Delta where rivers and skies stretch as far as the eye can see. It is those vast and lonely landscapes that have influenced the earthy sound of Mark ‘Boweevil’ Howes and the soaring tones of Lauren Dove. When listening to Dove and Boweevil you hear echoes of such artists as Eric Bibb, Susan Tedeschi, Howling Wolf and Son House. There is smoky soul within this angelic voice well complimented by Mark Howes with rasping authenticity. Their debut album ‘Getting Somewhere’ captures the barren wilderness of Norfolk with the spirited energy of a southern saloon and the uplifting calmness of a gospel ballad.

£12.00 : £10.00 concessions : seated Mor Karbasi burst onto the global world music scene in 2008 with the release of her first album, and has continued to capture audiences internationally with her gorgeous, exceptional voice. She was born April 23, 1986 in Jerusalem, to a mother from Nazareth of Moroccan descent and a father from Jerusalem of Persian (Iranian) ancestry. Mor is a young woman whose music is influenced by several cultures, though mainly by her Jewish heritage. A child with parents like hers no doubt carries a great deal of cultural richness. As already mentioned, with Jewish influences, but also Persian, Moroccan, Spanish and of course Israeli. All of which is discernable in her outward appearance, but also in her lovely, effervescent music and many stories. Mor’s biography might very well read like a novel by Isabel Allende where history, magic, joy and hard reality are all interwoven. A story that is told by her music, in which you are taken on a journey around the Mediterranean, to Morocco and her native Israel, to an age and civilization that is long gone, and yet still in the here and now.

Comedian Dies In The Middle Of Joke is an interactive play devised by award-winning writer Ross Sutherland (The Times ‘Top Ten Literary Star’). Each time the stage resets, you get to play a different person in the room: a heckler, the barman, even the comedian himself. All you have to do is read the autocue and follow the prompts. The comedian is doomed to fail every time… the question is: can you die with some dignity?
