 City's brass pioneers
I wonder what these pioneers of brass band music in Norwich would have made of Exploding Brass! with all its glitz and glamour? Almost a century ago several of the big companies had their own brass bands and one of them was at the dear old Co-op which I am delighted to see has now been given a future in the city.

 Wymondham's symphonic celebration
It was in May of 1985 when a group of about a dozen nervous musicians sat down in the United Reformed Church at Wymondham and, under the beady eye of patron, the internationally acclaimed composer Dr Malcolm Arnold, started to play.

 Rocker who turned down Led Zep is coming home
The man who turned down the chance to front rock band Led Zeppelin to stay with Norfolk's own Peter Jay & The Jaywalkers is “coming home”.
He is one of the most underrated singers and guitarists this country has ever produced, an original rock 'n' roll rebel by the name of Terry Reid.
