Getting the weekend started early is The Macarnos, an upbeat, acoustic band consisting of four talented friends. Playing covers and original songs on Thursday evening, the band are known for their crowd pleasing, foot stomping performances, skilfully switching instruments and lead vocals. 

Friday lunchtime, visitors will be entertained by the acoustic sounds of singer songwriter Alton Wahlberg.  Alton has a unique indie/folk style with raw brutally honest lyrics that regularly make audiences laugh, fall silent then sing!

Friday evening at the Norwich Beer Festival, Blackfriars Hall will be filled with the sounds of The Dirigibles, a new wave, rock and roll style band!  A popular four-man group who live, breathe and love the music they play!  Visitors to the festival will enjoy the bounce and bop of this infectious ensemble.

On Saturday, delighting festival visitors from 12.30pm will be three performances:

The first is Terry Adams whose influences include David Gray, Stereophonics, Travis, Simon & Garfunkel and Paul Weller. 

Next up is Faith, offering an acoustic version of their full band, with emotive songs, a rock edge, melodic vocals and dangerous guitar antics! 

From around 3pm, Felix Simpson will be showcasing his original material and covers.  With a decent musical pedigree, with cousins in the successful band Busted, Felix has developed a catchy alt-pop sound, combined with his more powerful soulful vocals.
