Spandex Ballet: A Work, of Art?
Thu 13 Sept 2018High-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 2018Johnny 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...

Some Things About Panya: Poet and Author Releases First Poetry Collection
Mon 10 Sept 2018With 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.

Framework's Omied Hallam Says Anyone Can Play Croquet in Nottingham
Sat 08 Sept 2018When 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.

Notts Cabbies Vs CPOs in Charity Match
Fri 07 Sept 2018As 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.
