INTERVIEW Marigolds
What influences musicians, we asked Joe of The Marigolds...
Where does the name Marigolds comes from? I wish I had some profound answer, but honestly, it isn’t that interesting of a background it was just one of those ones you get all those band names in a list and pick one. Although, people always think it was this guy who ‘guided’ traffic in Norwich. What’s your favourite venue? Um, I think Arts Centre is just incredible. Sound wise on stage it’s amazing. Even from an audience perspective it’s great. The fact you’re playing in a church is just incredible. I also liked playing in the Owl

Sanctuary. Not when it was on timber hill, but before that. You played with Saintsenaca? How did that go? It went so good, it felt like the best show we’ve played with the new lineup so far. Firstly, I just love Saintsenaca so much, I was speaking to them and they were the nicest people. I was talking to them about (Wether)Spoons, teaching them about British culture you know. They’re from all over in the US. Another recent one was Oxjam? We played in the Oxfam shop, we were headlining it so we were the last on. But yeah, it was super cool. You talked about Oxjam, do you think that Norwich’s venues and musical institutions helps or hinders bands in their creativity and commercial success? I think it is getting better, a few years ago it was really dry- especially with
the Owl Sanctuary closing down. It’s starting to have more of a resurgence now. All these places are reopening, there’s plenty of local promoters going around now. You’ve got Oddbox doing good things and Poorboy. I think a lot of people aren’t coming out to the shows where they’re not put on by a company, but they’re put on by people who just wanna see their favourite bands. Which means firstly, it’s tough on the promoters to break even and it creates this anxiety about whether I’m gonna break even or if I’m able to play good bands. I think to have a thriving music scene you need people to turnout. Does Norwich tend towards a certain type of music, then? Yeah definitely, I think indie, I mean every indie show at the Waterfront will get a pretty good turnout. Indie gigs in Norwich tend to get a real good turnout. I think it’s getting better, people need to
