It's been revealed that Jess Morgan, Norwich's self proclaimed "one and only folk musician"
has a bizarre secret.. Turns out that before she moved to Norwich, she lived in a mystical village, populated entirely by people that were made out of corderoy and/or velour..
Apparently she's been rubbing everyone up the wrong way for years!

FACT! - Norfolk gig promotions company "The Tilting Sky" is named after Craig "Tilting Craig" Sky's experiences during his first ever paid job; which was working for Hasbro, the toy manufacturer, as a life-sized "Weeble", advertising the "won't fall down" egg-shaped childrens toy in shopping centres, during the product's launch in the summer of 1971.
For 8 hours each day Mr Sky was stuffed into a giant egg attached to a spring, and wobbled from side to side (without falling down of course!) by excited children, until he was sick all over himself. And then he was wobbled some more, just for fun..
As he queasily gazed out of the small eyeholes in the side of the egg, all he could see was, you guessed it, the sky..
Tilting...

And that my friend, was the start of the legend that is, Craig "Tilting Craig" Sky!

As a way of making amends for not posting for 3 weeks, today we posted 2 rumours/facts. Possibly more to come before midnight, rumour-fans!

Girl In A Thunderbolt's Maria Uzor was recently struck by a thunderbolt (and a lightning one!) whilst playing golf. She was just about to "tea off" in the final of the Norfolk Ladies Open, at Chaffing Frogbury's "Liza Minellium Golf Course & Garden Centre", when lightning struck. In the same place! Twice!!
Thankfully, Maria survived, and upon opening her eyes, she fell in love with the first person she saw. Norwich City Football Club's lucky mascot, Captain Canary!
Maria has written a concept album about the whole thing, and is giving the CD away with her new book "Gardening, Golf and Captain Canary - A Mascot for Life & Love", which she'll be launching at "Nobles Book Barn" this Saturday at 11am. First 2000 customers get a song written about them, and a signed body part (their own; not a dismembered one..).

Fire engines from three counties were recently called to a small Suffolk village on "John Peel Day". There have been so many people banging on and on about how great John Peel was since he died, (even though 95% of them hadn't even listened to any of his radio shows for the last 10 years of his life) that he's been turning in his grave non-stop for the last 6 years, eventually setting fire to his own casket, ironically (don'cha think?) on the very day set aside to remember him.
Fire officials claim "we just can't put the bugger out! We've been here for 5 days now, but he just keeps on spinning! It's not all bad news though; as local electricians have managed to hook up a generator to his revolving corpse, to power the houses of all the local villagers.

We're back, and slightly more bitter than usual! After three busy weeks out-and-about, watching the same handful of Norwich bands playing every fucking night in some-awful-sounding-crypt-or-other and pretending to enjoy it, we've loaded up with endless facts and rumours about all your favourite local bands. Good times!

Norwich City Council's budget has just been published in the Norwich Even News, and apparently Council Tax will be rising by £30 per household per month. We confronted local Councillor "Wayne Bruce" about the reason for this uprecedented rise, to which he replied "Erm, yeah, we spent £300,000 erecting a giant metal sculpture of James Leeds, the singer in local band "Tinman", for all the local children to bow down and worship. We had to raise the money somehow." We contacted James Leeds to confirm this, but he couldn't hear us, as he was too busy polishing his Mercedes with CORD's expired Island Records contract..
