Quality Album. And even better with booze!

 

[cj66]

It's a fun listen.

 

[Tarzan]

The only group from Norfolk to have a chart hit.

l think The Vitamin B12 is starting to work.

 

[Euan]

This I think is their finest moment.

 

[Jimbobbyron]

I have seen them twice live. Brilliant night out.

Second-best band from Norfolk - just behind The Kipper Family.

I was watching children's TV with my Grandson and was racking my brain to try and remember who was singing the theme tune and incidental music to "Katie's amazing machines", yes it was the boys from Norfolk

The Darkness are from Suffolk.

Apart from that, Norfolk has produced ...

Cathy Dennis.

Depends what you mean by 'chart hit' as well.

Sadly, no. He was brought up in Norfolk though.

Born in Walshaw, near Bury, Lancashire, England,[4] the son of Allan and Gladys Mabel (née Curson),[5] (Wikipedia)

Cathy is a star. The Farmer's Boys were close to a top 40 once or twice but couldn't quite break through that particular glass ceiling.

Hence my 'depends on what you mean by chart hit'.

They and the Higson's—not from Norwich but were here when they were together—did bother the indie charts.

Kinda goes against Robyn Hitchcock's lyrics on "Listening To The Higsons". Another illusion shattered. Not only did he claim that they came from Norwich, he also sang that they ate a lot of porridge. Is that true? Just who can you trust?

Ahem. You're forgetting Norfolk's own space rock behemoths, Underground Zero:

They did go to College here (well, UEA.) Probably studied Coleridge as well.

Honestly thought they were from Norfolk, for some reason.
