With the Norwich Sound and Vision festival just around the corner here is a guide to the bands who will be performing in Norwich.

Band profile: City five-piece Bearsuit who consists of Charlene Katuwawala (bass, vocals, keyboards), Lisa Horton (keyboardist. vocalist), Joe Naylor (drums, vocals), Jan Robertson (guitar, keyboards, vocals) and Iain Ross (guitar, keyboards, vocals).

Bearsuit have previously played various festivals including Latitude, Bestival, The Great Escape, Dot To Dot, Indietracks and Offset, as well as several abroad including SXSW, Emmaboda (Sweden) and CMJ in New York, where we were voted 'Best Breakthrough Act' in a New York Times poll of badge-holders and received shining reviews, including Pitchfork.

their debut single 'Hey Charlie, Hey Chuck' was voted number four in the Peel programme's Festive Fifty of 2001.[1] They recorded four Peel Sessions in 2001 and 2002 and their single 'Chargr' was number two in the first Festive Fifty after Peel's death.

What the experts say: 'In an era when almost everything is quite like something else, Bearsuit are not quite like anything.' John Peel
