About & FAQ
Old, New, loud and twee!
Ideal Surreal is a music retailer and promoter from the fine city of Norwich. It is the brain child of Sean O'Neill, former Mummy Where's The Milkman records and Howlback Hum.
Ideal Surreal events are held across the city in bars, pubs, clubs, parks and houses, with regular shows at Norwich Arts Centre, The Waterfront, Space Studios and Karma Kafe. Ours is an ethos based upon giving the right performer the right show, in the appropriate venue. Our priority is always combining quality music with an excellent experience.
We strive to book the best new performers from Norfolk and beyond, with many excellent acts visiting an Ideal Surreal stage, including
