Hello guys just a quick one, I’m in the process of putting a book together for part of my degree on skateboarding in Lowestoft during the last 30 years and i need help. I don’t just want to have it about skaters from Lowestoft but skaters who came to Lowestoft to skate and skaters from Lowestoft who went out of Lowestoft to skate and their experiences. I need images and relevant text about the image (date, time who’s in the shot, where and if possible personnel accounts of why this image is important to you) scanned or the original neg or a re-print will do but please remember i cant send anything back so if its precious send a copy.

Couple of weeks ago, my gig going friend Rob asked me if I fancied to going to a Sarah Gillespie gig at the Norwich Arts Centre. So I checked out her website and had a brief listen to some of her songs and said ok to the gig. I really enjoyed the gig, I  also took my camera along just in case as Rob had got press tickets, check out the photos and read Rob’s review.

Listen to Sarah Gillespie on iTunes.

Electro-indie-pop band The Lost Levels are supporting Pure Reason Revolution at the Norwich Arts Centre on the 6th March. With influences from Pink Floyd to Blur mixed in with a love of 80s/90s 8bit computer games, shown best in the brilliant video for single Early Sheets, they create some wonderfully catchy songs. Make sure you head over to the Arts Centre to check them out, if you miss them though they are back again on the 25th April.
