Norwich Labour presents: C-Red

It’s the last weekend before the Children’s Centre closure consultation ends midnight Monday. Help raise the roof on social media to get those last responses in, extra signatures on petitions and the message out to Norfolk to ‘SAVE OUR CHILDREN’S CENTRES’.

Help us start a Twitter storm - here’s how

1. If you have a Twitter account please tweet pictures, messages and comments about Children’s Centres, what they mean to you, your family, your children and your community and what it would mean if you are shot down. Use the hashtag so everyone knows it’s about Norfolk Children’s Centres. Whether or not you posts your own tweets.....

2. Search in a Twitter for and it should bring up hundreds of previous tweets and retweets from others. Please retweet as many as you can over the weekend. Let’s get this campaign on the radar of as many people in Norfolk and beyond as we can. If you are not on Twitter or also use other social media.......

3. If you are on Facebook, Instagram or other social media channel use those to share, tag, post, like and spread the word.

For the 48 hours of Saturday and Sunday let’s make social media rock with the protests against the closure proposals!

PLEASE SHARE and use the hashtag

Today, Saturday 6 October between 10 and 4 we'd like to start a social media blitz of people telling Norfolk why it is important to 'SAVE OUR CHILDREN'S CENTRES'.

Norfolk Tories persist in saying it is about buildings but we know it is about people. Already we have heard lots of stories - some moving, some harrowing and many talking about helping to tackle isolation, giving advice and reassurance to parents trying to make sense of being parents. Those are the concerns that can change views and may even influence Norfolk Tories.

PLEASE share and share and message anybody you think has a story to tell. Post on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or wherever platform using the hashtag . Whether it's words, photos or videos please help us get the voice of Norfolk heard.

We'll gather everything people tell us and use it as evidence to support the campaign to Save Our Centres for children, families and communities.

-- Peach Club --

Want some funky p***y political tunes for your ears? Peach Club is a four-piece Riot Grrrl band from Norwich.

Hot on the heels of Cherry Baby – the second cut from Peach Club’s EP of the same name, due out in January 2018 – the grrrls’ return to the Arts Centre is timely and eagerly anticipated.

Starting out with Norwich Arts Centre’s Sonic Youths programme, Peach Club are continuously moving up the scale, including supporting Mercury Prize nominees The Big Moon at NAC Presents: Norwich Sound + Vision 2017, plus fast-rising Afro-Punk duo NOVA TWINS at Camden Assembly at the end of November.

“Frontwoman Katie is very petite, and the way she sways and swaggers around the stage is phenomenal… It’s proper old school riot grrrl, but with hooks and singalong choruses.” (Outline Magazine)

-- Matt Abbott MC --

Matt Abbot is a Wakefield born spoken word artist, creative practitioner and activist who gigs up and down the country and has performed alongside the likes of John Cooper Clarke, Carol Ann Duffy, Kate Tempest and (show #1's MC) Luke Wright.

"Wakefield's most articulate (and dare we say handsome?) street poet finds the romance beneath the realism. He'll have you feeling better in no time" - NME

"For those who wish Alex Turner would speak not croak, or who long for a British Eminem, only without the psychopathic, homicidal tendencies" - The Guardian

-- Black Shuk --

Another local band with Sonic Youths roots, Black Shuk are a four-piece indie funk rock band who've taken the Norwich music scene by storm.

"A real star in the making, with strong songs, a great name, and a confident stage presence, this band seem to have everything going for them." - Outline Magazine

-- Robust Soul --

Psychadelic five-piece Robust soul hail from University of East Anglia (UEA), and although they've been writing/performing together for less than a year they quickly established themselves as high-energy favourites on the Norwich music scene. Not to be missed.

**Peach Club**

Hot on the heels of Cherry Baby – the second cut from Peach Club’s EP of the same name, due out in January 2018 – the grrrls’ return to Norwich Arts Centre is timely and eagerly anticipated.

As a feminist left wing band, a gig showing support for the big red party is perfectly suited: Katie, Amanda, Becca and Charlie are four girls who just want to use their powerful art form to promote equality for all and they’re honoured to headline C-Red.

Starting out with Norwich Arts Centre’s Sonic Youths programme, Peach Club are continuously moving up the scale, including supporting Mercury Prize nominees The Big Moon at Norwich Sound & Vision 2017, plus fast-rising Afro-Punk duo Nova Twins at Camden Assembly at the end of November.

ICYMI: we were lucky enough to have GRACELAND headlining our debut show in September. Here's a few photos taken on the night 📷

Succinctly described by BBC Radio 6 Music's Tom Robinson as "four spiritual and sibling sisters on a mission to challenge and empower", Graceland's songs are as inescapably catchy as their live performance compelling.

ICYMI: here are a few shots of Norwich's own Sink Ya Teeth who played our first gig back in September.

Sink Ya Teeth's unique dance-worthy post-punk sound saw their first two singles, both released this year, reach critical acclaim and the BBC Radio 6 Music playlist.
