Bob Marley, Burlesque and Coventry Blaze are all coming to the city this week...
Legend: Music of Bob Marley
When: Tuesday 13 September, 7.30pm
Where: Theatre Royal
How much: £26.50 - £30.50
The word ‘legend’ is thrown around too much these days, but there are very few people it applies to more than Bob Marley. Freedom fighter, football fan and musician extraordinaire, Marley led the way for a Reggae revolution across three decades, and Legend celebrates the one-of-a-kind life of a one-of-a-kind talent like never before.
Cult Film Club Presents... Police Story
When: Thursday 15 September, 6.30pm
Where: Works Social
How much: £10
Ahead of their This Is England-themed collaboration with a certain ‘LeftLion’ next week, Cult Film Club are bringing one of Jackie Chan’s best big screen releases to their own big screen. Packing crazy action sequences, tense storytelling and stunning performances into a tight ninety-minute package, this is the perfect way to celebrate Scalarama (until Tuesday 20 September, of course…).
A New Retelling: Greek Myths
When: Thursday 15 September, 6pm
Where: Five Leaves Bookshop
How Much: £3 - £6
Love Greek myths? Love feminism? If the answer to either of those questions is yes, then why not join author Charlotte Higgins as she celebrates her book A New Retelling - the collection of myths where female characters take centre stage. Happening at Five Leaves Bookshop this Thursday, it’s a great chance to meet the author who also doubles as the chief culture writer at The Guardian.
Burlesque Star of The Midlands
When: Friday 16 September, 7pm
Where: Metronome
How Much: £13
Adora Belle, Aris Nightingale, Dee Dee Delight. These are just a few of the performers competing for this year's brand new title of ‘Star of the Midlands.’ Hosted by Honey Cabaret and judged by audience members, why not spend a night immersed in the burlesque and cabaret scene? Also showcasing burlesque and pin-up model legend Anna Fur Laxis, this isn’t one to miss.
Nottingham Panthers vs Coventry Blaze
When: Saturday 17 September
Where: Motorpoint Arena
How much: From £12.40
Sure, they beat us on Sunday - but that just means it’s time for revenge, right? The Panthers did kick off their season with an overtime victory against the Guildford Flames at the Motorpoint Arena - so clearly the home crowd is working its magic. Let’s hope the Barmy Army shout us to a win this time out.
We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
