Norwich Accordion band

I’m Shelagh Gurney, the Secretary of the Norwich Accordion Band. We meet at the Hamlet Centre on a Tuesday evening 7 to 9 pm.  We are getting a wee bit thin on the ground and would welcome new accordion players to come and join us.  We play straight tuned piano accordions, read score music in five parts and are of a grade three standard and above. Most of our players have 120,96,80 bass accordions.  (No musette accordions)


We will also be running a beginners session for starters in due course. We have some loan accordions so people can try them out.

Annie Dressner

Annie Dressner is a singer-songwriter, originally from New York City but now living in Cambridge, UK. Brimming with razor sharp wit, emotional poignancy and glorious melodies, Annie’s straightforward lyrical style, smart wordplay and lilting vocals offer listeners a front row seat to her captivating stories.

Annie has released four studio albums and her music has been played extensively across UK national radio, including recording a live session for Gideon Coe on BBC 6 Music. Last year's single “For The Thrill Of It” features Kathryn Williams and is a scathing commentary about sexual harassment within the music industry. The track received critical acclaim, including multiple plays by Gideon Coe and Marc Riley on BBC 6Music, with Marc saying: “To these ears, perfect pop music. I adore that.”

We Mavericks at The Canopy Theatre

“… the glorious harmonies and touching melodies of We Mavericks craft exquisite folk music, evoking spirits originating from Appalachia to Alba”- Ambient Light, New Zealand 

Originally coming together for just a handful of performances in 2018, the reaction that Lindsay Martin and Victoria Vigenser received from audiences made it obvious that they needed to continue playing together.

Their folk/Americana collaboration has been making a bold mark on both sides of the Tasman after only a few years performing - a steep and fast rise to Australasian festivals and shows that has seen the duo selected as a showcase artist for Folk Alliance International. They have twice been nominated as  “Best Folk Artist” in the New Zealand Music Awards, three times nominated “Best Contemporary Duo/Group/Ensemble” in the Australian Folk Music Awards and are recipients of Australia’s Troubadour Foundation Award.
