With less than two weeks to Christmas, you may be struggling to find a present for that difficult to please friend or family member. So earlier this week, we asked three of Norwich’s book sellers to each recommend three titles that will make excellent Christmas presents. James Benedict Brown speaks to Ben Richardson of Waterstones on Castle Meadow, Henry Layte of the Book Hive on London Street and Chris Rushby of Jarrolds on London Street.

An exhibition with a difference opened this week at Norwich Cathedral’s Hostry. Zheni Warner is presenting a selection of new work entitled The Light of the World. But Warner’s paintings are no ordinary canvases, featuring as they do a variety of coloured neon and LED lighting.

James Benedict Brown met with Zheni at the Hostry to talk about her work, but first, we’ll hear a little bit more about the exhibition space available at Norwich Cathedral Hostry.

Now, do you love to take things apart just to see if you can put them back together again? Imagine if you had an open access workshop in the city to use 3D printers, laser cutters and CNC routers by the hour. A new crowd funding campaign is looking to make that possible.

In January 2015, the Norwich writer Lora Stimson was named as the winner of the second annual Words and Women New Writing Prize. Stimson, a graduate of Norwich University of the Arts and the University of East Anglia, has been awarded £600 for her short story, Cornflake Girl.

James Benedict Brown spoke to Words and Women organisers Bel Greenwood and Lynne Bryan about the group’s activities and publications, but before that, we hear from Lora Stimson, as she reads an extract of her prize winning short story.

Stimson’s short story Cornflake Girl will feature in the second Words and Women anthology, to be published in March 2015, alongside other highly selected entries from the competition and four newly commissioned texts for About, an Arts Council supported project which explores the relationship between women and place.

The launch of the book and a performance of extracts from the About commissions will take place on International Women’s Day, Sunday 8 March 2015, at the Forum in Norwich.

Telephone interview with Chris Dercon, Director of Tate Modern, ahead of his 2015 Robert Sainsbury Lecture at the University of East Anglia on 30 January 2015. Following a compressor failure in our studios, this had to be recorded via conference call, hence the lower than usual sound quality.

In the autumn, the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts launched a major new exhibition called Reality - Modern and Contemporary British Painting. Curated by the painter Chris Stevens, the exhibition features more than fifty works by thirty three artists. I went to the Sainsbury Centre to meet Chief Curator Amanda Geitner for this two part interview.

"Without Fadoul we would have never started Habibi Funk. I vividly remember  nding a copy of his now classic James Brown cover „Sid Redad“ in a dusty old shop, run by a man who once owned a record distribution and label called Mekauiphone in Casablanca. It took us around six trips to Morocco over the course of more than a year to  nd his family as Fadoul himself unfortunately died in the early 1990s. Over the course of time, we kept on  nding new records by him that were unknown to us (and recently also two studio tapes from two sessions at Boussiphone studios full of alternate takes and demo versions) and they all added to the picture of a wild heart, full of energy, creativity, yet no stranger to the inner demons a lot of artists struggle with. Fadoul was more than just a singer. He spent some time in Paris playing theatre, he painted, he worked as a circus clown for four years in the Netherlands, he recorded and also composed a single for a famous orange juice brand from Morocco.
His lyrics dealing with topics such as drugs and depression but also having good times paired with a musical backdrop that is always funky yet dirty and played with a real punk attitude. “Bsslama Hbibti is taken of a hardly known 7“ he recorded for Atlassiphone and picks up where the recording on Fadoul’s album on Habibi Funk left off. A raw sound aesthetic, an energetic performance, a mighty voice and a very lively atmosphere that was pre- served in the recordings. So far only the copy used for this release has surfaced. We have also started to work on a second album exclusively dedicated to Fadoul with a partial focus on his 1980s output consisting of his very unique takes on hiphop and reggae. This song, just like the “Al Man Saib” album, was licensed from Fadoul’s family."
