When I went to Norwich to study at university in the mid-eighties the healthy independent music scene was a major drawing factor in my choice. Unfortunately for me the scene had just about wrapped itself up by the time I got there. The two major bands The Higsons and The Farmer's Boys had moved on. Here's the former's best moment. A 1982 single. Funk and humour. The influence of Talking Heads looms large. Leader and lead singer Charlie Higson went on to become a major figure in British comedy and cultural life over the coming decades.
