The original mini tour did not include a local show, so this is a chance for fans to save themselves some travel time on July 19.

Originally the solo acoustic songs of vocalist and guitarist Dan Allen, Ducking Punches are now a punk-folk-rock quartet.

Hailing from Norwich, they have graced festival sets at Reading and Leeds, Download, Groezrock, FEST and supported the likes of The Hold Steady, The Menzingers and Leatherface.

With three former albums, including their first on XMR, ‘Fizzy Brain’, they've collectively cranked the vitality and volume while building melody, texture and drama with violins, gang vocals and amplification, all the while retaining the pace and dynamics that brought Ducking Punches to such live acclaim.

The gig, which will include local support, sees doors open at 6.30pm. Tickets, costing £5, can be bought from the box office on 01384 397 177 or by clicking here.
