Interview: Indiana
Mon 07 Apr 2014Whirlwind doesn’t describe the last two years of Indiana’s life - since her first ever live performance at Nusic’s Future Sound of Nottingham gig in April 2012; she’s been signed to Sony, had a second child, is set to release her fourth single and play a hometown gig that’s going to struggle to contain her.

Wed 13 Nov 2013Born without legs, Lowdham’s Richard Whitehead was encouraged by his parents to play sport as a way of integrating. He now holds world records for full and half marathon and 200 metre distances, and can give able-bodied athletes a bloody good run for their money. After winning gold at the London Paralympics he set himself the challenge of running from John O’Groats to Land’s End, completing forty marathons in forty days. We caught up with him when his tour passed through his home town...

Interview: Thomas Turgoose
Thu 28 Feb 2013At the age of twelve Thomas Turgoose was living in Grimsby, smoking weed, drinking, stealing cars and getting in trouble with the law. Then he stumbled upon an audition for Shane Meadows’ This Is England in a youth centre and it changed his life forever. Now, about to turn 21, he has a clutch of international acting awards behind him, travels the world going to film festivals and is on first name terms with Johnny Depp and Michael Fassbender. What happened?
Shane Meadows: The Early Years

He’s also the first commissioned writer for The Alan Sillitoe Committee’s contribution to The Space, the new BBC/Arts Council digital media project, where he celebrates the history of Nottingham’s favourite bit of paving, the Old Market Square...
Interview: Derren Brown
Mon 21 May 2012Master of magic, mind control and manipulation; Derren Brown has made an international career of persuading people to think and do things they otherwise would not. So when we asked him if he fancied an interview with LeftLion, before the Notts leg of his Svengali tour, we were elated and yet filled with trepidation when he said “yes”…
