'The Norwich Sound'..

...I'm compiling a programme for Future Radio that will stray into the time of so called 'Norwich Sound' of The Higsons, Popular Voice, Vital Disorders, Serious Drinking and Farmers Boys...

Does anyone have any memories of that time - gigs, parties or contact with any of the band members now and what they're up to? Even a contact email..?

Obviously I'm aware of what Mr Higson has gone on to but what of the others?..

If you have anything you can share please post on here or email me junkyardsoul AT gmail DOT com?..

This youtube clip from back in the day, which includes shots of the infamous (at the time) Argyle St may jog a few memories: User Posted Link
