T
here are a few excellent gigs happening in
August, but maybe because of the festivals, or the fact that everyone is on holiday, these excellent gigs are few and far between and I can barely fill my fingers with what I am covering this month. I have tried to focus on the newly reopened Marquee. Speaking as a promoter and as a band member, I have always had a love- hate relationship with Te Marquee, and it seems like there is potential for love there once again! Te dreaded limiter is still there but apparently it looks great and it is a viable option for promoters wanting to put on local bands. Anyway, enough of me sending the people of Norwich subliminal messages to put on more shows in a way that is not negative or moany – here is your (small) selection of excellent shows to go to in August:
