Evening of talent and local legends from across Norwich's music scene at The Brickmakers.
Stars in Their Eyes comes to The Brickmakers on Saturday 17 October, a talent competition for local acts. It's a night built on the familiar format: local performers taking on the songs and personas of the stars they're paying tribute to, with the crowd and judges deciding who nails it best. The organisers bill it as a fun evening of talent and local legends, and they describe the vibe as guaranteed to be a good one.
For those who haven't spent much time there, The Brickmakers is one of Norwich's most iconic venues, and it's a bit of a three-in-one. The main stage is where you'll find this competition, and it's usually the home of local covers bands, often with free entry. Then there's the B2 venue, a grassroots space for up-and-coming acts from across the country — mostly metal and rock, but you'll find pop, punk and folk there too. In the summer, they open up an outside stage as well. This competition sits on the main stage, so it's right in the thick of the venue's regular live music scene.

It's a local competition, so the acts you'll see are people from around the city and the surrounding area rather than touring professionals. That's part of the draw — seeing people you might actually recognise from around town stepping up to the mic and taking on a big name. The whole thing runs from 19:00 to 23:50, so it's a full evening rather than a quick stop-in. If you're heading over, The Brickmakers is at 496 Sprowston Road, NR3 4DY.
