Reviews of Alternative Bands available in Norwich

5/5 from 186 reviews
Photo of The John Preston Tribute Band The John Preston Tribute Band "The grooviest part of Saturday night was the early evening slot from this tight little funky punky power trio.. From New Normal disco with deeply sardonic word play, to the rocktastic vastness of Psychopox. The John Preston Tribute Band blow holes in official and official alternative narratives whilst their grooves and riffs induce altered states to facilitate their propaganda deconstructions.. A must for weddings, corporate do's and dusty festivals..." Based in King's Lynn, England (39 miles from Norwich) Barney Biggs - The Harlequin Fayre Photo of The Krakens The Krakens "From start to finish we have nothing but praise for The Krakens. Chris was quick to respond to my enquiry looking for a band to play at a 30th birthday party and kept in touch from then on. We were sent a varied list of songs to choose from; a mix of rock/pop both modern and classic. Once the booking was confirmed they asked us if there was anything we wanted added to the list and they would learn them for the evening! On the night the band turned up on time, and set up (and packed up) without any bother. Their performance was totally satisfactory, two excellent one-hour sets which included our requested numbers. Everyone agreed that The Krakens were a friendly, “tight” band that performed with confidence and professionalism which made our night that bit special. Would definitely recommend them!" Based in Bedford, England (82 miles from Norwich) 17th April 2026 Paul A - 30th Birthday Photo of Tizane Tizane "I loved watching Tizane, they definitely picked up a new fan. They had the entire audience in the palm of their hand. The diverse original songs they played ranged from emotional and heartfelt, having the audience almost in tears, to upbeat and fun, leaving the room dancing, especially during their song 'Why Not Me'. I loved their song 'Running', it begun completely fragile and beautiful, but each chorus revealed that angsty, pop punk sound." Based in Dartford, England (94 miles from Norwich) Ellie Miller - Camden Assembly Photo of RockEnergy RockEnergy "Hi Nick, Thank you and John for your great work on Saturday night, you were brilliant, everybody loved you and people said when then get the opportunity they are going to hire your services. I would gladly use your services again. Thank you Micky and Donna." Based in London, England (98 miles from Norwich) 17th August 2026 Micky Beecher - Birthday Event Photo of We Killed The Disco We Killed The Disco "What can i say, these guys smashed it! Every song was a banger and the dancefloor was filled all night! Great lads too!" Based in London, England (98 miles from Norwich) Joe Turner - Wedding Photo of Xotic Steel Rhythms Xotic Steel Rhythms "I booked Xotic Steel Rhythms for our drinks reception and they were perfect so entertaining and accommodating with all our requests including the dress code and song selection that included last min song requests" Based in London, England (98 miles from Norwich) James - Wedding drinks reception
