A major new Norwich gig series, showcasing some of the region's most exciting musicians, got off to a sensational start.
NEW NOISE! is a collaboration between Access Creative College (ACC), Norfolk Music Hub, Play Produce Promote and Pica pica, Pica pica!
It takes place at Voodoo Daddy's Showroom in London Street on the first Tuesday of the month until June 2024 and the first gig was in February.

The evening was headlined by 19-year-old rapper and producer $ebbuku, aka Seb Bates, who hails from Norwich.
The performance was full of explosive energy, with the sell-out crowd responding to the thumping beats and quickfire lyricism.
$ebbuku graduated from ACC's Level 4 Artist Development (AD4) programme, the industry-first course that explores all areas of the music industry that helped launch the career of Ed Sheeran.

$ebbuku said: "The Norwich music scene is so diverse. There are so many different, amazing and talented people doing all their own thing."
The other local acts that performed on the night were JenJen, Samarchy and Arthur Black.
The next NEW NOISE! show is on March 5, with the alt-rock five-piece Damp Matches headlining.
