After it was crowned ‘Britain’s Best Small Venue’ by NME this week, The Maccabees have felt compelled to visit the Norwich Arts Centre and will play a one-off free gig there next month.
“Small venues have always been important to us, but we don’t get to play them much any more,” the band’s guitarist Felix White says. “We’re really looking forward to playing Norwich Arts Centre again, particularly because we’ll have just finished an arena tour with Kasabian, and it will be the opposite experience to that. At smaller venues you end up having conversations with people.”
“We’re delighted to have won and really excited for The Maccabees,” venue director Pasco-Q Kevlin adds. “They’re an extremely talented band who already have an association with the venue because they’ve played here before, but they’re way out of our league now. So from my perspective it’s great to work with a band who are playing at that level. They’ll have a great time here.”
Tickets for the gig, which is to be held on December 14th at the 290-capacity venue, can be applied for here.
