Embrace and Ed Harcourt Live in Norwich, Norfolk - 17th November 2004
Indie band Embrace is back from a few years in the wilderness to perform a triumphant set for an appreciative crowd at the UEA in Norwich. Never before has Nosher seen so much love directed to the band from the audience, whilst the heat generated by a sell-out crowd was intensified by a frenetic mass pogo moment in the middle of the set from what looked like the entire crowd, egged on by Embrace front-man Danny McNamara, obviously loving the return to live music. About two weeks before that it's Ed Harcourt at the Waterfront, performing what comes across on the albums as almost acoustic with a full-on rock energy - especially for the track Heart of Darkness, with its heavy double-bass bowing and crunchy guitars. Supporting Ed was the then-unknown band The Magic Numbers, who played what would become one of their signature tunes - "Love Me Like You".
