Mon 30 Apr 2018

You’ll most likely recognise Joe Dempsie from his role as Gendry in HBO’s Game of Thrones, but the Television Workshop alumni has appeared in everything from Skins, to Doctors, to This is England ‘86 and ‘90, and then some. The West Bridgford lad’s come a long way since we first interviewed him for issue #49 back in 2010, so we grabbed a chat with him as we anticipate his potential scoop of the Iron Throne...

Tue 24 Apr 2018

There aren’t many eighteen-year olds that get whisked away from Clifton, hailed as the new Bob Dylan, and sent around the various corners of the globe on tour. For a lad who’s just turned 24, Nottingham’s very own Jake Bugg has packed a fair bit in since we last spoke to him…

Jason From Sleaford Mods on Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll

Sat 14 Apr 2018

Back in the day, we used to lament the lack of Notts music acts breaking outside of the NG postcode, then a load of ‘em came through at once. But perhaps the most surprising was Sleaford Mods. Two blokes from Notts in their mid-forties who’d been playing open mic nights suddenly tapped into an international zeitgeist and completely smashed it. Frontman Jason Williamson tells us how...
