LIVELINE
During the 17 years since Outline first hit the streets of Norwich downloading and streaming has changed the way in which we listen to recorded music. But nothing will ever replace the thrill of the live performance – a connection between artist and audience that creates those 'I was there' moments, memories that can never be revisited or replayed but will remain with you for years to come. Share in our celebrations of Outline's 200th issue but, more importantly, celebrate the promoters, venues and artists who tirelessly combine to bring such a wealth and variety of live music to our fine city. Check out the gigs are coming up over the next two months, and prepare to pop a few more magical moments into your musical memory bank.
AUGUST
The Head Out Not Home programme continues throughout August, with free live music and entertainment at various sites throughout the city centre. For example, on the 2nd, Finn Doherty performs on Norwich Art Centre's front lawn, Ross Grant & Will Pound are on Gentleman's Walk and Ben C Winn and the Panache will
be playing on St Gregory's Green.
London based indie band Mono Club, singer songwriter Lyla Foy and Norfolk's Rory McVicar will all be fitting into an Odd Box night at Bedford's Crypt on the 5th. Bring your own parcel tape.
Meanwhile, Gaffa Tape Sandy will be on hand dispensing the sound of Sugar Town at Norwich Arts Centre on the 10th, together with Norwich indie punk band Marigolds, and the dynamic duo Kulk.
Blickling Hall hosts the outdoor Great British Prom on the 11th, featuring the National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Anthony Inglis. Drag your picnic hamper up the A140 for that one.
Expect something rather special at Norwich Arts Centre on the 14th with the arrival of Rising Appalachia, two sisters and a band who promote their Slow Music Movement as an antidote to our fast-paced world, and have taken their message across the globe over the past eleven years. Not to be confused with Raising Arizona, which was a film starring Nicolas Cage and Holly Hunter. Both are excellent.
American riot grrrl punk band The Regrettes visit Open on the 21st, promoted by Anti Despair Machine. As Edith Piaf once famously put it, “Je ne Regrette rien”. Make sure you don't either.
American duo Hymn for Her (nothing to do with Damien

THE BEST LIVE MUSIC FOR THE MONTHS AHEAD
Hirst) return with their unique sound and cigar-box guitars to Norm's at Bedford's Crypt on the 22nd, together with local favourites The Vagaband and Yve Mary Barwood. Smokin'.
Can it really be twenty years since Gomez won the Mercury Music Prize with debut album Bring It On? Join in with the anniversary celebrations at The LCR on the 25th.
The sixth Sundown Festival gets under way on the 31st, and continues for three nights at the Norfolk Showground. Shawn Mendes and Clean Bandit headline, with a special DJ set from Chase & Status on the Friday night for those with camping passes.
SEPTEMBER
It may only just be September, but it is Mostly Autumn at The Waterfront on the 2nd when the popular prog- rockers return. Please respect local residents and sweep any leaves up quietly on departure.
Ferryfest returns from the 7th to the 9th at the Reedham Ferry Inn, showcasing the best of local music talent, and raising money for local charities. This always sells out so buy your tickets early, especially if you are wanting to camp. And buy them online. Don't pay the ferryman.
Those who remember Molotov Jukebox's incendiary performance in the NNF Spiegeltent four years ago will surely be beating a path to Open on the 12th to celebrate the band's
10 year anniversary. A night for Pineapple Girls, Tropical Badboys, and everything in between.
The Burning Crows and Dust Bowl Jokies are touring together this summer and are playing the Waterfront Studio on the 13th, but we will all be there to support local band Clown Smash Everything, whose line- up includes Outline film reviewers Jay and Smiley. Rock on, dudes!
Local legends Ducking Punches will be celebrating their 1000th performance at a special Ideal Surreal show at Karma Kafé on the 14th. Help make this a night to remember for Dan Allen and the band.
Capture some Californian sunshine when John Craigie brings his guitar and songs to The Guildhall on the 20th. Thank Grapevine for Music for that one.
And finally, London four- piece Teleman drop in at Epic Studios on the 30th in support of their third album release, Family of Aliens. They take their name from the German composer Georg Telemann, therefore the fact that Epic used to be a television studio is totally irrelevant.
So enjoy the rest of your summer, and I'll meet you back here in October for Outline's issue 201. And please remember to Keep Music Live.
