What’s been the highlight of your career so far?
Winning our age group for the music award at the Young Creative Awards was amazing. We really enjoyed playing at Rock City Basement for the finals of Noise of The Next Generation and Supporting Native People at The Bodega. Also recording our debut single Vultures which is set to be released on the 2nd of July (shameless plug).

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?
