Sadi Khan on her MBE and Improving Diversity

Entrepreneur, single parent, undercover supermarket employee, and recent recipient of an MBE: Sadi Khan is a force of nature. Earlier this year, Sadi was awarded for her contribution to Cultural/Religious Awareness Training and Services to Vulnerable Women by the Duke of Cambridge himself.

Spandex Ballet: A Work, of Art?

High-brow pursuits met high-flying pugilists as independent Wrestling show Spandex Ballet dropkicked into the Nottingham contemporary art gallery last weekend. The debut Nottingham show from the unusual Wrestling Resurgence promotion played in front of a packed house in the art gallery’s exhibition space. Pitching their tent firmly at the tongue-in-cheek, theatrical end of the spectrum, Resurgence nonetheless shoehorned in enough bone crunching spots and proper old fashioned wrastlin’ to entertain fans of all tastes.

Notts Kids Band Johnny and the Raindrops Turn Ten

Tue 11 Sept 2018

Johnny and the Raindrops have been on the Nottingham music scene for yonks. Ten years this September, to be precise. But rather than dropping drum 'n' bass to goggle-eyed twenty-somethings down Brickworks, or titillating silver tabs with jazz in dimly-lit bars, the band cater to the city's musical nippers. We sat down with founder, musical director and long-time little-fish-shape thrower Liam Maloy...

Mon 10 Sept 2018

With a career spanning over twenty years and work published in all manner of magazines, anthologies and journals, few poets have made a name for themselves in the way Panya Banjoko has. We sent our Kevin Jackson down to Five Leaves for the release of her new collection Some Things, and it's fair to say she made quite the impression.

Trailer Park Boys are Coming to Nottingham

Sat 08 Sept 2018

The reprobates of Canadian mockumentary series Trailer Park Boys are always up to summat dodgy. You’ll often catch ‘em trying to make some cash through get-rich schemes, and their latest foolproof plan is to go on a European tour and swindle money off ticket sales. They’ll be crashing Notts later this month, so we thought we better rahnd ‘em up for a chat...

Framework's Omied Hallam Says Anyone Can Play Croquet in Nottingham

Sat 08 Sept 2018

When we found out man-giant and Framework’s Volunteer Coordinator Omied Hallam was an avid croquet player, we imagined him towering over other players, mallet in hand, dominating the lawns. We weren’t wrong. He’s one of the top 100 players worldwide, having gone on to win the singles championship at the annual tournament down Nottingham Croquet Club, which celebrated its ninetieth birthday in August…

A Skateboard Instructor in Notts

"I remember going out onto my street and learning how to do it all on my own. It’s a struggle for everyone, really. Skateboarding’s hard, let’s face it."

Notts Cabbies Vs CPOs in Charity Match

As a Forest fan, I needed my faith in football (and, without wanting to be too dramatic, humanity) restored this weekend, after a summer that promised so much yet has delivered precious little. If I’m not mistaken, it’s hardly been a barrel of laughs for our sisters and brothers across the Trent either.
