Ben is the brains behind This is Music Norwich - promotes bands and shows in the fine city and is always tipping us off to new acts from all over the country. 
His love affair with music started with his obsession with his dads 7inch records (the Beatles and Hendrix) ..like me in his teens he became  major fan of the Madchester scene and was a religious reader of NME and Melody Maker.  He started following bands all around the country and was inspired enough to start hosting gigs at Voodoo's and other venues.
He has now curated a line up for an all day festival in aid of Prostate Cancer UK a cause close to his heart

Aphra's music is like a cozy blanket on a chilly night, blending contemporary folk with echoes of 60s and 70s classics like Judee Sill and Karen Dalton. Their songs, driven by folk melodies and rich harmonies, dive deep into personal introspection and vulnerability. With each tune, they create an intimate space where listeners can find comfort and catharsis. Joining Aphra on their musical journey feels like sharing stories with old friends, wrapped in the familiar warmth of timeless melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Some YouTube links here ..

Shaped through a love for hip hop, britpop, psych and cinema; PleasureInc. is the genre-fluid musical brainchild of brothers Jonny Silver and Kenny Pleasures. The duo and their band of goons are out to confuse you into a good time. It’s Talking-Heads-make-love-to-Beastie-Boys-core. Considered as it is loose.. hard as it is playful… intensely blasé, always.
These boys are on it like a car bonnet - they are in there like swimwear - there's lots to unpick so hop on board the PleasureInc. express

Ben Street has had quite the ride when it comes to music, a familiar face to many in Norwich as the man who put together the multi venue Wildpaths festival in 2019 which started in 2019 and now as a promoter for all sorts of gigs across the fine city but he also has a backstory having been the drummer in Coasts - a hugely successful band with top 20 albums and worldwide tours. Here we talk about his shenanigans at a Nicaraguan Waterfall, life as a bona fide rockstar  and how the hell you go about putting on a festival in one city over 3 days with 250 acts .... and also excitingly what's next... enjoy
