GOING DUTCH


No doubt you managed to slide your way through the festive period engaging as much intelligence as is needed to watch a Catherine Tate Christmas special. It’s time to think a little more high brow, and where better to engage the brain than at the Norwich Arts Centre. On 18th Jan, they host High Impact: Literature from the Low Countries: 6 top writers from the low countries on tour to 6 cities for 6 nights of readings and debates. Showcasing the best high impact literature from Flanders and the Netherlands in English translation, they are the Low Countries Literati: all prize- winners and best-sellers back home, all writing in Dutch but from 2 different countries – Belgium and the Netherlands. Now for the first time, and in a unique collaboration, 6 of the best Dutch-language storytellers are coming together for a rock star-style tour, featuring Lieve Joris, Herman Koch, Ramsey Nasr, Peter Terrin, Chika Unigwe and Judith Vanistendael. For something closer to the usual spectrum of affairs, local independent record label, Bare Feet Records showcase amazing local talent in the first of a new monthly slot on Sat 26 Jan. Tis month, they welcome Kamilla Lovett, Golly Ghost, Tristan McKelvey, and Koi Paraga. For details on all the NAC shows, go to www.norwichartscentre.co.uk


PANTO’S ALMOST BEHIND YOU


As January dawns, it is still panto time at Norwich Teatre Royal… oh yes, it is. Aladdin runs through until January 19 promising two-and-a-half hours of non-stop entertainment. Te cast includes one of the small screen’s best-known coppers PC Tony Stamp from Te Bill aka Graham Cole, Lucy Dixon (Tilly from Hollyoaks) and TV Gladiator turned TNA wrestling superstar Nick Aldis. Later in the month, the world- renowned Propeller are back. From January 24, the all-male Shakespeare company make their long-awaited Norwich return with the start of their 2013 tour. Tey will present Te Taming Of Te Shrew, a classic tale exploring the difference between marrying for love and marrying for money. Te tour will also see them bring the classic tale of love and mistaken identity – Twelfth Night – to the stage, with both plays under the direction of Ed Hall. Tis tour will also mark the Propeller debut of Norfolk born-and-bred actor Joseph Chance, who lived in South Norfolk and is a former pupil of Te Norwich School. Te theatre will also host a number of one-night shows during the course of the month including the Britten Sinfonia joining forces with the renowned pianist Angela Hewitt (Jan 8), a celebration of the biggest songs from West End and Broadway shows in Beyond Te Barricade (January 9), and the welcome return of Cornwall’s ever-cheeky ambassador of comedy Jethro (January 14-15).


PAM’S 17!


If Pam’s House were an actual Pammy, she’d be old enough to drive this year. Tis may make some of us feel old, because for some Norwich revellers, Pam’s already been tearing it up for years! Tis January sees the annual birthday bash for the now once a year, don’t-miss party date, Pams House, which celebrates its 17th birthday and a UEA Reunion. Te legend has been told and retold, but Pams House established in 1996 and after two years in Ipswich went on to tour many venues across the UK and Europe whilst settling into a monthly residency at the UEA. Launching in 1998, many have enjoyed momentous parties there and now call the UEA home. After the last ever monthly UEA event in 2011, there was huge demand to return so a year later the 16th birthday was held at the UEA. Pams now plan annual reunions at the UEA to celebrate their consequent birthdays, so get ‘em in your calendar now. Te date for this month is Friday 25th January featuring Pams House favourites Lisa Pin Up and Mark EG. In the PHunky room, Pams welcomes back Jonathan Ulysses - the resident of Space club in Ibiza - often voted the best club in the world. For advance tickets, go to www.ueaticketbookings.co.uk or pick them up in Rock Collection, Lower Goat Lane.
