Mammoth Penguins & Friends

Mammoth Penguins bring their new album "John Doe" to Norwich, which tells the story of the people who were close to a man who has faked his own death, only to return years later.

Mammoth Penguins formed in Cambridge in 2013. They released their debut album Hide & Seek in 2015 on the late great Fortuna Pop! label, putting them in the excellent company of bands such as Martha, Comet Gain and Chorusgirl. After playing shows across the U.K. and Germany, and a live session for Marc Riley's BBC 6 Music radio show, the band hatched a plan to work with other musicians on a side project. This side project became the John Doe album

Mega Emotion

Norwich trio Mega Emotion is made up of Iain on guitar, Lisa and Jan on keyboards, all of them sing and play drums/percussion over electronic beats. Iain describes their sound as “an alternative soundtrack to the film Tron.”

Since forming, Mega Emotion have won Steve Lamacq’s Roundtable new music selection on BBC 6 Music, seen their demo material play-listed as a 6 Music Recommends track of the week, and been championed on Radio X / XFM and by BBC Introducing.

Free Entry. Donations for petrol money very gratefully received!
