Head Out Not Home: A Music Day, Norwich, Norfolk - 22nd August 2021

We head into Norwich by train and drop the boys off at the cinema, whilst we wander around for a bit. As it happens, it's a good day for it because there's some sort of "Head out not home" campaign going on, which involves a number of bands playing live at various venues around the city. We catch a few of them, including Cobbler Bob on Gentleman's Walk, Nick Hart on St. Gregory's Green and José McGill and the Vagaband on Riverside.
