Norwich Arts Centre is an independently run venue with charitable status (Charity No: 274803) situated close to the centre of Norwich. Firmly established in the heart of Norwich’s cultural community, NAC delivers a programme of live music, live art, comedy, live literature and theatre twinned with a commitment to creating opportunities for the development of new talent. The converted church (origi

nally built in 1349) houses an auditorium able to cater for seated and standing events with many original features of St Swithin’s Church in tact.

We are very sad to hear about the recent loss of one of Norwich's much-loved artists Damien Bennett, DJ Sure D. He was an important part of the Norwich music scene and a regular performer at Norwich Arts Centre having played his first ever live gig here in 1987.

He went on to be instrumental in promoting and championing Hip Hop, Soul, Funk, World and Jazz across the city and played at countless events over the years including the Norwich Jazz Festival in May.

He will be deeply missed by us and many others and will always be remembered with a bag full of vinyl and a smile on his face.

Hi everyone, this is Doy. It is with a profoundly heavy hear… Andrew Ward needs your support for In Loving Memory of Damien Bennett: Support for DJ Sure D
