Notts-Born Singer-Songwriter Natalie Duncan on Her New Album, Free
Sat 08 Aug 2020There aren’t many things in life that are a given these days. One exception, however, is the guaranteed beauty of a new album release by Notts-born singer songwriter Natalie Duncan. Free, which was released on 31 July this year, is Nat’s first full-length album since 2012, and is full of her customary soul-infused melodies and candid lyrics.

How are Stonebridge City Farm and White Post Farm Coping with COVID-19?
Thu 04 Jun 2020The sun has been shining, the flowers have been blooming, and the lambs and chicks have been born. You’ve been able to feel the warmth on your skin and sweet scents as you’ve walked around your neighbourhood. Yes, spring has definitely come and gone, but the annual ritual of heading down to the farm to check out the newborns remains incomplete. Nottingham’s community farms haven’t been able to enjoy spring as much as usual, as lockdown has seen their income disappear entirely at a time when visitor numbers would have been at their peak. We speak to Anthony Moore from White Post Farm and Stonebridge City Farm’s Peter Armitage to find out how they’ve been coping during COVID, and how you can help support them…

Electronic Duo Bone Cult on Masks, World Tours and Their Debut Album
Tue 24 Mar 2020Formed in 2013, Bone Cult began after two members of a rock band decided they’d had enough. Time spent experimenting with productions in the studio – using synths, drum machines and more – led to the electronic duo, consisting of No.1 and Day2, finding that unique, fresh sound they were in search of, and settling on a new musical identity. Never showing their faces publicly, their only distinguishing feature comes in the form of artful tattoos covering their torsos. Even their tracked vocals are distorted beyond recognition. With an impressive cult following that has seen them perform across the globe and a debut album set for release this month, we talked to the Notts-based duo to uncover more about the minds that lie beneath the masks...
