title The Mary Wallopers at the UEA, Norwich - 28th March 2025 intro We're off to the Lower Common Room at the UEA to see Irish trad-punk group The Mary Wallopers - ably supported by rock-trad band SexyTadhg - in a raucus gig that was almost ruined by a birthday or hen party group of pissed gobshites that were more interested in whooping and chatting. Luckily they buggered off to the mosh pit after a while. Then, a couple of days later, we're off across the field to see some week-old kittens, one or more of which might become a companion (or annoyance) for Lucy the one-eyed cat. imgp1106 The old John Grose site is completely cleared imgp1107 John Grose's overflow carpark has completely gone imgp1109 The site of a new leisure centre on Park Road imgp0032 Support act SexyTadhg takes to the stage imgp0035 Keyboard action on a Nord Stage 3 imgp0036 Some epic trad fiddle action imgp0039 The Mary Wallopers start their set imgp0040 The Mary Wallopers in the LCR imgp0042 More punk trad in the glow of pink lights imgp0044 Charles Hendy does a solo number imgp0048 SexyTadhg does a fiddle guest spot imgp0050 Charles Hendy on guitar imgp0052 Anna, Grace, Megan and Isobel in a not-selfie imgp0053 It's a post-gig love-in in the mosh pit imgp0056 After the gig in the LCR imgp0057 Grace and Anna imgp0058 Isobel takes a photo of Grace, Anna and Megan imgp0059 People chat to SexyTadhg after the gig imgp0061 SexyTadgh does a spot selling merchandise imgp0062 We visit the new kittens over the field imgp0066 There's a ball of tiny kittens imgp0071 Lucy-cat freaks out after being stuck in the shed imgp0073 Lucy on the field imgp0076 Isobel interacts with Lucy the one-eyed cat imgp0077 Harry does some sort of moves
