LIVELINE OCTOBER


Get down to Norwich Arts Centre on the 2nd, for Japanese avant-rockers Mono, and also for the return of electric cellist and composer Jo Quail. She supported Amenra and Boris in February, and is worth the ticket price alone.


Fans of The Simpsons will not want to miss Okilly Dokilly, the world's only Nedal band – combining metalcore with the wisdom of Ned Flanders. They are at The Waterfront on the 3rd. Howdilly doodilly.


Do The Reggay with the legendary Toots & The Maytals at the The LCR on the 14th. Still led by the charismatic 'Toots' Tibbert, expect this one to be Sweet and Dandy.


Hip hop legend KRS-One drops into NR1 on the 16th at The Waterfront. Is this The Return of the Boom Bap?


It will be a Gangsta's Paradise at Epic Studios on the 18th when Compton rapper Coolio takes to the stage. He is now also a chef with his own series and cookbook, Cookin' With Coolio. Or get a kebab on the way home.


Squeeze through the doors of Open on the 19th to enjoy an evening with Glenn Tilbrook. This one will be


well cool for cats.


Brace for Impact. Multi instrumentalist Laura Kidd brings her alter-persona She Makes War to Epic Studios on the 24th, with support from anti-patriarchy punk band Dream Nails.


She allegedly was David Bowie's first girlfriend; he and Mick Ronson produced the tracks on her 1974 album, Weren't Born A Man; and members of The Spiders From Mars were her backing band. Now, Dana Gillespie plays Norwich Arts Centre on the 27th, part of the Fine City Blues Festival.


Norwich's junkadelic sensation Gladboy launch their highly anticipated EP at Waterfront Studio on the 29th. The weight of expectation continues to build.


There's more young blood when Nottingham's Saint Raymond kicks off his UK tour with a date at Open on the 30th (Trivia time - St Raymond is the patron saint of childbirth, midwives and pregnant women).


Halloween brings October to a close at Norwich Arts Centre with another EP launch, this time from respected alt-country singer songwriter Lucy Grubb on the 31st. No tricks, just treats.

THE BEST LIVE MUSIC FOR THE MONTHS AHEAD


So, following one of the warmest and sunniest summers on record, we await what Autumn and Winter may bring. Certainly, as far as live music goes, things are now hotting up as we head into October and November. Check your bicycle lights and head out to these scorchers lined up for Norwich over the next two months - you won't be to cranking up the central heating just yet.


NOVEMBER


Something special to kick off November – The London African Gospel Choir are at The Waterfront on the 2nd to sing Paul Simon's Graceland in its entirety. Put some diamonds on the soles of your shoes for that one.


Coughs and colds will be kept at bay when Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends appear at Open on the 9th. Sole Mates is the name of the new album. Allow time for a pre-gig supper at the Grosvenor before that one.


Heaven 17 are at The LCR on the 10th. They were crushed by the wheels of industry in the 80's, but survived to tell the tale.


Norfolk music producer Hydra Lerna hosts an EP launch at Norwich Arts Centre on the 13th. It is also her birthday.


If you experienced Back Street Luv in the 70's then you will want to be at Waterfront Studio on the 15th when Sonja Kristina brings a blast of Curved Air to Norwich. Turn up the air con for that one.


Suffolk's A return to The Waterfront on the 19th to play their 2002 classic Hi-Fi Serious in full. Support comes from Essex rockers InMe and teenage dirtbags Wheatus. I'll


swap my two tickets for Iron Maiden, baby.


Dave Vanian and Captain Sensible lead punk legends The Damned back to The LCR on the 20th. New album Evil Spirits made the top ten earlier this year. Johnny Moped joins them for the ride.


Folk duo Gilmore & Roberts head up the Grapevine for Music evening at The Guildhall on the 24th. New album A Problem of Our Kind will be out by then – a chance to grab a signed copy or two - there's only 30 shopping days leſt until Christmas.


Ex-Fall members Brix Smith Start, brothers Paul and Steve Hanley, and Steve Trafford bring Brix and The Extricated to Norwich Arts Centre on the 25th. Not to be missed.


And last but not least, my favourite act of this year's Cambridge Folk Festival, Stick In The Wheel, roll into Norwich Arts Centre on the 29th. Follow them good, and Follow Them True.


So that's it for another two months. Prepare to batten down the hatches for the longest nights of the year, and I'll meet you at the top of the Christmas tree in December.
