The Slippers play 1930’s music using the classic 1960’s instrumentation of 3 electric guitars and drums. The strong material and signature guitar sound give The Slippers a chance to bring something new to tunes sometimes claiming to be swing revival but often overplayed with nostalgia or parody.

Maggie Walters Art Work

Local Artist

My name is Maggie Walters and I love to paint. I have been drawing and painting since I was a child. Until this year I have only been able to pursue my art as a part time hobby.
Whilst learning which I think I will always be doing, my work has changed from one medium to another, until 9 months ago, when I discovered Pastels.
The feeling I get when the colours blend together and an image emerges resulting in the art work being completed, I can only describe as one of my greatest joys.
I have gained so much from others sharing their art experience and knowledge with me and I hope that you will take pleasure in viewing the art work on show and share your experiences with others.

A wide range of ability is accepted although some grounding would be useful. Ideal if you had lessons at school and the violin is collecting dust in the attic. There are opportunities for one to one tuition and the orchestra meets regularly on Sundays. We aim to play any music that is reasonably accessible and has been arranged for string ensemble. Recent pieces have included Dinderin, a Spanish folk tune, Rondo from Purcell's Faery Queen, Basse Danse from Capriol Suite by Peter Warlock, The Largo from Corelli's Christmas Concerto and Rondo alla Turca by Hummel. We also encourage people to get together informally in their own homes to play chamber music.

Hailing from the rural north Suffolk town of Beccles, Plan Nine was formed in early 2005 by four restless young men from the local comprehensive.
Having won the hearts of the local children with hits from their self-released EP, Plan Nine's 'Plan Nine', including the smash Tunin' Up (Wiv U), the boys took their defenestrative sound to the cobbled streets of Norwich. Whilst wooing the Wensum folk of this historic burgh they played with such acts as Rooster and Grammatics at venues including the Waterfront and NAC.
On March 17th 2008 Plan Nine's official debut release, controversially titled The Plan Nine EP, was unleashed to the world via the download function of the Interweb to staggeringly mediocre success.

Throughout the rest of the year the boys found themselves climbing the slippery ladder of London (England) gracing venues such as the Barfly and Purple Turtle, and opening to the thousand-strong crowd at the Stone Gods' homecoming in Norfolk.

In February 2009 drummer Dave Jones left the band citing "musical differences". After going dark for a short while, the band returned to the stage with a dramatic new sound and announced that Ben Timewell would be the new drummer.

Plan Nine are currently recording a new record, said to be "the most important record of all time, ever, from Beccles!".
