Thanks to Rich Alison for letting me know about this one.
Norwich Board Gamers -
Tuesday evening 7.30 - 11
Mash Tun
This is free to attend although there would probably be the expectation to buy a drink!
From the website - There are no fees, memberships or requirements about having games, being experienced or otherwise, so you can turn up, have a go and be welcomed by the friendly bunch of people that make up the NoBoG irregulars.
Games start at 7.30pm, so try to be there a little before so we can assess numbers and see which games are suitable. We meet every Tuesday, but there is the occasional clash with other events or holidays, which means we can’t meet. Cancelled sessions will be announced on this blog or on our Twitter feed. Games usually end by 11pm.

Free Music from Discharge Lounge, Banjaxeld and Dr Clyde
I've started going out to free gigs in pubs and bars and ordering a lime soda which is only slightly more than free!
Friday, 23 August 2013, 8pm
Blueberry Music House
20 Cowgate Norwich, Norfolk NR3 1SY
Discharge Lounge
Formed in Norwich in 2012, Discharge Lounge are a sextet that combine Jazz, Klezmer, Funk and influences from multiple genres and filter these through a lens of theatrical absurdity. Songs about gravy, cartoon physics and psychosis are played on a giddy array of instruments including saxes, xaphoon, talk boxes, electric sitar and flute. Marrying this musical mischief with cheap stage effects and even cheaper costumes they firmly believe that playing music should be fun for both the band and audience and aim to create a synesthetic feast for all your muddled senses.

Banjaxeld
Jeff Jeffers, singer/songwriter/musician along with Mark Mace (Bass) and Vinny Fogg (Percussion), have gone back to basics to put together an original Soul/Funk band with Blues influences and incorporating many forms of Rhythm from Reggae to Jazz!
And with the addition of Singer/Songwriter and Blues guitarist Jamie Roe there is much sweet music to be made.

Dr. Clyde
Norwich based energetic three piece playing a worldly blend of danceable music.
"We have been together since november 2011 and spend our time together writing as much music as we can. We have many influences ranging from jazz to metal which makes a weird and wonderful sound which forces your feet to dance and you face to contort till you are drenched in sweat and your feet are blistered. We are out to have fun and enjoy playing our music to all of yous."

**Almost Free** Bishop's Garden Sun 8th July
Forgive me as this post isn't strictly free, it is 'Almost Free'. I've decided as there's quite a few events which have a 'suggested donation' or a minimal amount to cover costs, which I'd like to promote on this site. These will be under the label 'ALMOST free' and will say clearly in the blog title.
You can tour the Bishop's Garden this Sunday 8th June 1-5 , where there will be stalls and gardening tips, as well as music sessions run by music keys. £3 per person but children and wheelchair users get in for free.
