The Waterfront

Fantastic night at Waterfront Studio, Norwich. Garret T. Willie was a superb opener, raw, soulful and full of character, with loads of feeling in the guitar playing and a really strong stage presence. Ally Venable Band then absolutely tore into the room. Huge energy, killer tone and a brilliant balance of technical ability and genuine emotion. Proper blues-rock with teeth. The venue itself was excellent too. Intimate enough to feel close to the performers, really good acoustics, and very well appointed throughout. It suited both bands perfectly and made the whole evening feel immediate and personal rather than distant or over-produced. Brilliant bands, brilliant venue, brilliant night. Would happily see either artist there again.

Oli Brown is such a talented musician and one hell of a guitar player with a superb voice. He is backed by two colleagues who know their craft. Together as The Dead Collective they rock. They deserve your attention and support. Real music real heart really top class performance. Go see them now. I shall be doing so again.

An amazing band to see live! The vocals and sound were flawless, great interaction with the crowd, happy to play the older hits, and they're still making new music to add some variety to a show. I will be making sure I see them again in the future

What an stunning show! From start to finish the atmosphere was electric. His voice was amazing. The band were exceptional. There really are not enough superlatives. It was like Prince, James Brown, Stevie Wonder and Otis Redding all rolled into one unique voice. He played pretty much everything from the 80s & 90s Terence Trent D'Arby catalogue that you would want to hear and the newer - and to me less familiar - songs were every bit as good and slotted in perfectly. I honestly don't know why he isn't huge and selling out the O2 or Wembley. If there was any justice he would be, but it is wonderful to see someone over that talent in a tiny venue like Norwich Waterfront. Do yourself a favour and book tickets for the upcoming shows. We are already talking about travelling to one of the other gigs to catch him again.

Was enjoying the show. Some dancing was a bit aggressive. I think the band cut the set short only on for 1 1/4 hours. Play some good old songs which the band and crowd really got into

First then I saw Rory live and I’ve gotta say she was absolutely amazing live and got me into both support acts music as well! So went to see Rory ended up falling in love with all three!!

First time that I’ve been to The Waterfront in Norwich. Great venue for watching bands. As December Falls, once again showed why they are gathering a bigger fan base as they always deliver the goods. B-Bomb is a fantastic front lady, and knows how to work the crowd.

What an amazing gig, a joint one with Shaman's Harvest - my wife and I had a meet and greet VIP with them and what a pleasure it was to meet them and chat with them pre-gig, have photos on the stage with both bands - musically, Blacktop Mojo were on first and they were fantastic, so tight, interacted with the crowd and they simply had fun - its so nice to see a band that thoroughly enjoy doing what they are doing and not going through the motions - please, please, please give these guys (and Shaman's Harvest) a try - you will NOT be disappointed!!! FIVE STARS ALL ROUND!!!

Superb. I loved the gig. All the old classic Motorhead tunes banged out with so much energy. Absolutely awesome. Lemmy would be proud of them. Go see them now while they are doing their Motorhead 50th tour. You won't regret it

Made to feel very welcome by the staff & security. They helped me to get my wheelchair into the venue. My wife & I were sitting stage right which suited me as a former professional drummer. The atmosphere was superb. When Moving Pictures - A Rush Tribute Band entered the stage, they didn't disappoint their fans or the reputation they have accrued over the last few years. The band played a wide selection of most loved Rush tracks from their exemplary 40 years of touring and producing some of the most iconic progressive rock music ever. Moving Pictures are a three piece band from Scotland. Steve, Eoin and the drummer Jamie who is one of the most precise drummers I have had the pleasure of discovering over the last 50+ years of my own drumming career as a session recording musician. Putting it bluntly, Moving Pictures - A Rush Tribute are in my opinion the best tribute act of it's kind. They appeal to not just Rush fans, but to anyone who can appreciate good music and a brilliant 2+ hours any day of the week. May they return to Norwich asap.

Excellent live set from Maximo Park. Mixing old with new Paul Smith's voice is strong and true. The band never really missed a beat. Crowd favoured the older tracks but it was good to hear some excellent additions to the canon from the latest pair of LPs.

OMG it was so sick, Me and my boyfriend went and we met so many lovely people there. So may colorful characters from all kinds of areas and age groups but everyone was so excited and lovely. She was brilliant, her voice omg so cool. The venue was bang on the money with her target audience was so impressed, security was really tight too so as a woman made me feel very safe especially going from small town to a city based area. Merch was reasonable too brilliant. Overall would go again.

Great Band full of life and passion. Small venue, shame about the three pillars in the way and the poor sound at the start but that will never detract from The Sherlocks set. Can't wait till the next one in Islington.

Incredible show, lots of nostalgia for the first album but the tunes still hold up. Played some of their newer stuff at the end, which the crowd equally loved. High energy throughout and the crowd responded by dancing the whole time. A thoroughly fun night out!

Great gig Firstly BDRMM are such an awesome band to see too, they rocked out and ror those who came earley to see them they wont have been disappointed Ride were superb, as usual, going through the Nowhere album before playing a set of somts from throughout their career. As Ride said it will be hard to beat the Waterfront crowd for the rest of the tour

Top band on top form on the night and although I did not know it at the time , my last time seeing Paul Raymond with the band , who was on cracking form at Norwich .

Great show but would have liked to hear at least a couple of everyone's favourites. Many people were calling for Touch of Red, Take this Life and we were pretty amazed that they played neither. Also was good to see the band interacting with the crowd, something they didn't do years ago they used to be far more stuck up, I think that was Anders to be fair back in his 'I hate people recording us with cell phones' period. I feel they gave now become a lot more personable.

I saw them 25 years ago at Wembley Arena so it was a trip down memory lane! Thought they were fantastic enjoyed every minute. Bobs vocals were a bit strained but still carried off and hats off to them entertaining us when they could so easily retire and put their feet up. I will definitely go back next year to see them

Great gig! Think it got cut short by the organisers as they didn’t open the doors early enough to run to schedule! What a shame! InMe though were great and having only heard of them a week ago when I went to the Brighton show I’m well impressed
