LADY DOVE'S FUNK CLUB
Norwich is a hotbed for music and has a fine reputation for having a supportive community of musicians. The best way to meet like-minded musicians is at a jam night and in 2018 Lauren started Norwich's first-ever Funk and Soul jam night. The night has proven to be very popular with both jamming musicians and audiences looking to have a dance. Expect anything with a groove.
Lady Dove's Funk Club boasts a highly accomplished house band who also perform as Lady Dove and the Hotwings. Sweet soul and Funk grooves with guitar, keys, sax, drums and bass.
