From Storing Fruit and Veg to Welcoming Live Music: We Chat With JT Soar’s Head Honcho Phil Booth
Sun 14 Jan 2024Since JT Soar stopped storing fruit and veg and started welcoming bands as a music venue almost fifteen years ago, it has maintained its DIY sentiment while growing in popularity and success. And going into the new year, the venue will be more accessible than ever, with widened entrances and doors and access ramps, among many other modifications. We chat to Phil Booth about the importance of making the space inclusive for all, how they manage to give all of the money they make from gigs straight to the bands performing, and their important place in Nottingham’s DIY music scene…

Selectors: Rob's Records
Wed 13 Dec 2023In this video interview series, Nick Strang (Spore Print Productions and Plates) speaks to Nottingham-based DJs. Up this time it's Rob, founder of Rob's Records Mart, a national (arguably, global) institution, and for good reason.
