Daisy Godfrey on The Grease Soundtrack and Her New EP
Mon 31 Jul 2017You’d be hard-pushed to miss Daisy Godfrey if you saw her in public; her mighty mane of orange hair broadcasts her presence the second she walks through the door. A singer-songwriter and sturdy staple of the city’s busking scene, the local lass joins us for a natter about music, relaxation, and the stark bloody wonder that is Olivia Newton-John...

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.

The Place is Here at Nottingham Contemporary
Thu 09 Mar 2017There are some things from the eighties that we’ve – thankfully – waved goodbye to: Grolsch bottle tops on your shoes, poodle perms and the painfully long loading time of the Spectrum ZX. Some things, however, have stuck around like proverbial bad smells. Things like a lack of diverse representation on our television screens, oppressive and suppressive politics and political leaders, racism and xenophobia. Nottingham Contemporary’s latest exhibition, The Place Is Here, holds both colonial and modern Britain to account, unashamedly points the finger, and demands a response.

7 Organisations Combatting Misogyny in Nottingham
Wed 08 Mar 2017Nottinghamshire Police are the first police force in the country to rule misogyny as a hate crime. That includes physical or verbal harassment directed at women, because they are a woman, via any means. So, if you’re walking home and a group of guys decide to shout inappropriate, sexual comments at you, or someone grabs your arse on a night out, you’re well within your rights to report the behaviour to the authorities.
All you have to do is ring 101, and if the assault is particularly severe, call 999. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the perpetrator will be punished, but it does mean the police can collect information regarding these types of incidents – where, when and how often they happen – and work on making the streets of Notts safer for all. It also means that they can direct you to any support and guidance you may need following the event. There are some incredible local organisations who’ll go out of their way to help you...
