Our aim is to bring together bands from the north and the south in a beautiful half-way house in norwich, creating a warm safe atmosphere for people to feel comfortable and at home in, providing entertainment for the lovely people who will pay a small price to come and share in the experience. That's it. It'll be nice won't it?
