LeftLion Magazine #155
Mon 02 Jan 2023Happy New Year! Kicking off 2023, we have a special Empowerment issue, celebrating everyone in Nottingham who's unapologetically themselves. This includes: trap metal artists ALT BLK ERA; Brown Gal Can't Swim host Summaya Mughal; artist Richard Hyde; cult cinema royalty Fortune & Glory Film Club; publishing legends Dizzy Ink; new indie-rock trio Girlband and so many more. As well as this, we take a trip to Bridlesmith Walk, swing by The Open Kitchen, pop along to Lakeside Arts, and look back at the life of Florence Paton. We hope you enjoy all that good stuff, as well as this mind-blowing cover from Iulia Matei - and we hope the next 12 months are good ones!

LeftLion Magazine #154
Tue 29 Nov 2022Our December issue is packed full of Nottingham greatness, including Stuart Staples (of Tindersticks fame), Ed Patrick (of book writing fame) and 200 Degrees (of making ridiculously good coffee fame). We also chat to Widmerpool-based fashion designer Samantha Brooke, sit down with Slamovision winner Cara Thompson, catch up with Nottingham Video Games Expo organiser James Jarvis and take a trip to the wonderful Bromley House Library. As if that wasn't enough, we have loads of festive stuff inside too, including a look at the Christmas Covers Party, a deep-dive into the complexity of donating to charity at Christmas, and a Pick Six from none other than Santa Claus himself. We hope you enjoy, and have a fantastic end of year!
