Interview: Anthony Hopwood Nottingham's Bicycle Boom Box
Tue 04 Nov 2014Anthony Hopwood is a hard man to miss. Partly because he’s a tall, beefy bloke with long hair, a beard and baseball cap, but mostly because he rides around town on a bike with a massive sound system thumping out dub reggae at high decibel levels...

Interview: Alex from Ideas on Paper
Tue 14 Oct 2014Despite the digital revolution, reading a magazine on a device is never quite as good as the real thing. It’s not all nostalgia - although yes, there is something wonderful about flicking through pages at leisure while getting a hit of the distinctive smell of ink and paper - physical print is actually easier to read. We spoke to Alex Smith, the man behind the independent magazine shop Ideas On Paper, about why print is here to stay...

History of Nottingham's Savoy Cinema
Mon 13 Jan 2014On 7 November 1935, the Savoy Cinema opened its doors to screen its first film, Flirtation Walk, a musical romance starring Dick Powell. It was likely that only the Lenton locals took any notice of this event because, at that time, there were 52 other cinemas in and around Nottingham. So if it wasn’t that extraordinary then, what is its place in Nottingham today? And how in Cockleman’s name has it survived so long when the others have not?
