Mon 17 Apr 2017Rap’s Robin Hood is back with new EP Illa Scorz, and a ton of new merch designed by his eleven-year-old son to boot. We caught up with Scorzayzee for the lowdown on his latest release, plus the burning question of who’d win in a fight between the most famous fast food mascots…

The Herbert Kilpin's Hop Pop Up: A Marriage of Food and Beer
Fri 10 Mar 2017It seems a few folks - including myself - misunderstood the game here… It’s not about matching the right beer to your food, it's having the beer added to your food while it's being prepared. Bloody genius.

10 Notts Hip Hop Artists to Watch Out For
Thu 23 Feb 2017The UK hip hop scene is having somewhat of a resurgence these days. There’s a big light shining on London, but Nottingham has always been a birthplace of premium hip hop talent, from Out da Ville rapping circles around the rest of the country, to Pariz-1 proving that she can go bar to bar with any MC. The Nottingham pool of talent has always remained full, so we’ve collated a list of current hip hop artists to get to know this year.
It’s worth noting that without a few Nottingham rap legends laying down the groundwork beforehand, we may not have many of the artists on this list. So before we start, we give a big shout out to Scorzayzee, Wariko, Pariz-1, Out da Ville, Stan Crook Ed, J Gold, Fif Nova, 1st Blood, Cappo, Land Lordz, Fort Nottz, Smokes and Bluntz.

Rapper Alice Short on Hip Hop, Nottingham, and Doctor Who
Thu 15 Dec 2016Rapper, poet, and Doctor Who fanatic Alice Short has been smashing Nottingham’s stages and scribbling like there’s no next year.

Interview: Ferocious Dog
Fri 06 Mar 2015Few Notts bands can say they’ve sold out Rescue Rooms and The Bodega, let alone boast a Glastonbury headliner (we’re talking Pyramid Stage too, not Jethro’s Lentil Yurt Stage). Ferocious Dog can. Hailing from Warsop, they released their debut album in 2013 and are set to release their second. We had a natter with fiddle player and co-songwriter, Dan Booth.

Interview: Anthony Hopwood Nottingham's Bicycle Boom Box

Nottingham Cinema History
Tue 14 Jan 2014From his first experience of Saturday morning kids’ shows at the pictures, Rick Wilde became hooked on not only films but on how cinemas worked. Beginning his career in 1953 as a four teen-year-old, he worked as a projectionist until 2006. When he joined the business there was 52 picture houses around the city: from the crude conversions of the early 1900s, the gilded Victorian palaces of the 1910s, the art deco continentals of the 1930s, the sophisticated twin and triples of the 1960s and 1970s, to the multiplexes of today - he’s seen it all. A walking encyclopedia of Notts cinema shares his knowledge with us...
