Mr Baxter said that he and his team were "blown away" and added "any other word than surprised would be a lie".He said: "To see the names we're up against is mind-blowing."I think the joke we've been making is we've heard of every one of those clubs except for us! "It [live music] is a hard industry, but for us it was about making something awesome. "To see artists that - by definition - don't belong in Norwich. You'd see those at shows in London, Manchester and Ibiza. We've developed relationships now with artists where we're getting major artists that we've not seen outside of the major cities before who are coming for the crowd."
