Royal McBee are possibly our favourite Norwich band. They are joyful, pensive and explorative by turns. Their music, to me, takes things associated with the twee and the cute, and pushes them further. The description ‘synth-pop splendour’ has been used, but I believe it is a gloriously awkward splendour. The songs and the attitude in which they are delivered seem very introspective, but this only increases the warm response from the audience. John and Holly are in love. They are involved in a host of other Norwich outfits and projects including The Owl Box, Babygrand, other/other/other and The Middle Ones. They are great. Come along, this Saturday at Take Five.
