H – L® Food & Drink Networking Brunch
A monthly morning gathering for entrepreneurial food & drink brands who want to meet with their peers, share experiences, and grow together.
About the event:
If you need help driving your food and drink business forward, are looking to share challenges with others who have probably faced the same challenges as you before – or want to get together with like-minded, friendly food & drink business owners, this event is for you.
Our community aims to be that peer-to-peer group of food & drink brand owners, and as such is exclusively for founders, owners or managers of food & drink producers*.
Our brand brunch is designed to be a safe space to meet, listen to and share stories with others who are or have been in the same shoes – and even discuss some of the issues you might be facing in your business.
In each month's edition of our early morning gathering, we'll hear from a food & drink business that has overcome odds, or faced challenges that others can hopefully benefit from – personally or professionally.
For the cost of a bacon roll (vegan alternative also available) and a coffee, you'll be glad you did. Join us!
* sadly we can't accept bookings that don't meet this criteria at this time.
Who is this event for?
Our community is a peer-to-peer group, made up of food and drink producers alike. All producers, be they bakers, pie makers, coffee roasters, breweries and distilleries, are welcome to join us. Sorry, we're not able to include suppliers to the industry at this time.

We all lived & loved the 90’s dance scene: Techo, Dub & Triphop… this never left us. So we started to forge our own style – Jazz Punk – Frenetic edgy break beats, cavernous looming wobble bass with roaring Sax

Davide Mantovani (bass)

This evening we're excited to feature Aaron Liddard as he returns to Norwich with his critically-acclaimed 'Nylon Man' project.
Named after the three cities that most influenced Aaron (New York, London and Manchester) the 2022 album - "roughly 12 years in the making" - brought together a cast of 42 musicians from a diversity of genres and styles, including vocalist Carleen Anderson, violinist Omar Puente, trumpeter Yelfris Valdes and saxophonist / guitarist Harry Greene.
Performed this evening by Aaron's regular sextet of top performers, the newly-expanded set could be said to be genre-defying, but fuses funk, soul, Cuban and Brazilian styles with an over-arching jazz sensibility. Wherever they play, the band's seductive grooves and feel-good vibe never fail to win over their audience who are soon singing and clapping along.
“A Michael Brecker-like power and intensity... a highly uplifting experience” - Ian Mann, THE JAZZ MANN

FOLK AT YALM presents Alistair Anderson with support from Adam Clark
Don’t miss an exclusive evening with Alistair Anderson, with support from Adam Clark, as they take to the stage at Yalm Food Hall for this month’s FOLK AT YALM.
Alistair Anderson
Internationally acknowledged as the master of the English Concertina and a fine exponent of the Northumbrian Pipes, with 37 tours of the USA, five to Australia, and countless European tours. He delights audiences with traditional music from Northumberland and beyond, as well as his own work rooted in these traditions.
His belief in traditional music’s place in contemporary society led him to found Folkworks, an organisation that inspired a new generation through workshops, summer schools and education projects.
“The finest recent original contribution to the tradition of English music” The Guardian
“The pleasure comes chiefly from the excellence of the playing. The concertina emerges as a flexible and sensitive instrument; in the hands of a player of Anderson’s quality it is amazing what it can achieve.” The Guardian
“He remains one of this country’s most majestic and inclusive instrumentalists” Colin Irwin.
Adam Clark
Roots music with guitar, banjo and voice. With a repertoire spanning American folk and bluegrass, West Africa, Gypsy Jazz and original songwriting, Adam now focuses on folk music connected to East Anglia and the British Isles. Expect songs with passion, improvisation, and singalong spirit — and a touch of the natural world, with a new album inspired by the moths of Norfolk.

Her 8th solo album, Gracious Wings, has garnered glowing reviews from The Guardian, Songlines, and many others, cementing her place as one of folk's brightest talents. Whether through her commissions or collaborations, Jackie constantly seeks new artistic corners to explore, showcasing her unique voice and musicianship.

"There’s a sweetness and melancholy to her voice that is like no other." Songlines
"One of folk's brightest talents....Her lovely take on The Longpigs’ On and On should get the John Lewis Xmas ad team on the phone pronto." The Guardian
"Another assured & enthralling collection from one of the undoubted talents of the contemporary folk music world."
Klofmag
"Impressive and then some." Get Ready to Rock

H – L® Food & Drink Networking Brunch
A monthly morning gathering for entrepreneurial food & drink brands who want to meet with their peers, share experiences, and grow together.
About the event:
If you need help driving your food and drink business forward, are looking to share challenges with others who have probably faced the same challenges as you before – or want to get together with like-minded, friendly food & drink business owners, this event is for you.
Our community aims to be that peer-to-peer group of food & drink brand owners, and as such is exclusively for founders, owners or managers of food & drink producers*.
Our brand brunch is designed to be a safe space to meet, listen to and share stories with others who are or have been in the same shoes – and even discuss some of the issues you might be facing in your business.
In each month's edition of our early morning gathering, we'll hear from a food & drink business that has overcome odds, or faced challenges that others can hopefully benefit from – personally or professionally.
For the cost of a bacon roll (vegan alternative also available) and a coffee, you'll be glad you did. Join us!
* sadly we can't accept bookings that don't meet this criteria at this time.
Who is this event for?
Our community is a peer-to-peer group, made up of food and drink producers alike. All producers, be they bakers, pie makers, coffee roasters, breweries and distilleries, are welcome to join us. Sorry, we're not able to include suppliers to the industry at this time.
