'We are delighted to be announcing just a few of the musicians performing at Norwich Sound and Vision this year,' said Norwich Sound & Vision director Adrian Cooke.
'The conference and festival attracts international delegates, speakers and performers to the city to discuss the music, film and multi-media industries but above all, to have a really great time in our fine city. There is always a vibrant creative buzz to the city that we should champion and be proud of.
