For their 20th Anniversary, Norpa went all rockabilly for the 2013 season launch, getting out the stovepipes, winkle pickers and big full skirts, ready for a night of fun! Also along for the ride, was the local Roller Derby team, NRRD, providing some thrills and spills and a taste of one of the many sub-cultures to be found on the North Coast.

Artistic Director, Julian Louis, gave a brief rundown on what looks like being a fantastic season, before donning the roller skates and taking to the floor!
