Desire, Love, Identity: An LGBTQ exhibition at the National Justice Museum

As we dig out our big coats and SAD lamps in preparation for these cold winter days, Emmanuel House is preparing for its busiest, and most integral time of year. The charity provides some of our most vulnerable people in Nottingham with the basic necessities, which at this time of year is as basic as a warm room and a cup of tea. They have just launched their 'Think Christmas - Give Hope' campaign, in which they are trying to raise enough money to keep the centre going for another year.

Liam Bailey Talks Depression, His New Single and Touring with Paloma Faith

Liam Bailey is a singer-songwriter from Nottingham, loved for his jazz and blues-style sound. Best known for his collaborations with DJ Fresh and Chase & Status, his reggae undertones have seen him dubbed as the young Bob Marley. But with over a decade of musical endeavours under his belt, this guy’s sound is as varied as they come.

Things are heating up once again for Liam. With a host of new music, collaborations and tours with Paloma Faith coming up, his diary is jam-packed. After we managed to wake him up from his McDonalds-induced nap, we caught up with Liam ahead of the release of his newest single.

Following its success at the Milan Expo in 2015, we spoke to Wolfgang Buttress about The Hive, in issue #75.

The album, One, was critically acclaimed, and the crew took the pavilion experience to the stage with a soundscape throughout 2016. We caught up with Wolfgang himself, and asked him a few questions about his career so far...

The University of Nottingham has a large part to play in this, and for those who get a kick out of seeing what happens when you mix up chemicals, set a flame to gases, and the behaviour of volatile substances, their Research Professor of Chemistry, Professor Sir Martyn Poliakoff, has made a series called The Periodic Table of Videos to satiate the inner nerds in us.
