Gilles Peterson at Norwich Cathedral
Broadcaster, DJ and record collector, Gilles Peterson joined NNF on 10 May 2025.
Peterson has played a pivotal role in supporting and promoting underground music in the UK and beyond over the past three decades. We welcomed him for a unique sit-down evening in which he will join the musical dots, playing and chatting about some of his favourite sounds past, present and future.
On the 10 May Gilles shared music, stories reflections from a life dedicated to music and anecdotes from the east including remembering Caister-on-Sea for its legendary soul weekenders, experiencing for the first time big name DJs like Chris Hill and Bob Jones. The programme was interlaced with poems from long time friend, Rob Galliano including several poems read over the top of the tracks. Listen back to the expansive programme of tracks in the playlist below.

We travelled through time and space. Together we explored the sacred power that only music possesses with its ability to bring people together and hold them – Gilles Peterson
