Interview: The Nusic Team

Thu 16 Jun 2011

Mark Del used to fly the flag for the Nottingham music scene with Trent FM, but now him and his team - including Arielle Bosworth and Liz Riordan - have linked up with LeftLion to drop Nusic, help take the local scene to the next level and - maybe, just maybe - get your band on the main stage at Splendour...

Interview: Dom Joly

Thu 16 Jun 2011

Dom Joly’s CV is so studded with career highlights and downright randomness that his current incarnation – as a media-age raconteur and author – almost seems like downtime. On his way to the Playhouse to perform his one-man show, we collared him for a chat about mental ex-classmates, skiing in Iran, and everything in between...

Interview: Mick Newell

Thu 09 Jun 2011

Summer’s here, and Notts County Cricket Club is defending their County Champions title. A lot of the credit for that goes to Mick Newell, the Outlaws’ highly-regarded director of cricket, and a man who could well be doing the same job for England in time…

May Contain Notts: April-May 2011

Mon 06 Jun 2011

Des Coleman leaves the BBC, Panthers win the Elite Cup, man makes flamethrower and the Royal Wedding Nottingham-style

Interview: Patrick Smith of Veggies

Mon 06 Jun 2011

If you grew up in Notts and don’t partake in meat, you probably owe a huge debt to Patrick Smith. Why? Because he’s spent three decades as a vegan activist while slinging veggie burgers from a van in town, backin the day when ‘vegetarian option’ meant ‘just chips’. Now operating his veggie business out of the SumacCentre in Forest Fields, he talks about a meat-free career, the Ratcliffe-on-Soar debacle, and Mark Kennedy…

Interview: Darren Fletcher

Mon 06 Jun 2011

Darren Fletcher is the Arnold lad who gets paid to go to the World Cup and the Super Bowl, gets his feet under assorted press boxes for Five Live, banters with the entire UK about footy and hosts the An Evening With... nights at the Approach. And he knows Robbie Savage...

Interview: Liam Bailey

Mon 06 Jun 2011

He’s knocked about with Damian Marley and Aswad’s Brinsley Forde. His new album is produced by Salaam Remi, of Fugees and Nas fame. He’s been at No.5 with Chase and Status, he’s signed to Polydor, and Amy Winehouse has got his tea on. Yep, things have moved on a bit for Liam Bailey since he played LeftLion gigs back in the day, but he’s still proper Notts...

Interview: Tim Smith of Fourmost Films

Mon 06 Jun 2011

Fourmost Films come from the Shop stable with a can-do attitude, a string of short films that have garnered attention from all over the place and a hunger to turn Nottingham into one of the hubs of the UK indie-film scene. Head honcho Tim Smith manages to drag his head from the edit suite long enough to spell out his masterplan…

Crocus Gallery Turns One

Mon 06 Jun 2011

A Lenton shopping precinct might not be the first place you’d expect to find an art gallery - but for almost a year now, the Crocus Gallery has blossomed into a centre for the community and a chance for young artists to gain valuable work experience. We spoke to manager Allyn Mullholland, Exhibitions co-ordinator Alice-Georgina Thickett and curator Marie Drouin on the eve of the gallery’s first anniversary…

Interview: Marcus Clarke

Mon 06 Jun 2011

Marcus Clarke and his wife Helena Smee have spent the last twenty years in a Sherwood house full of dismembered body parts. Calm down, Officer – they’re only keeping their hands in as one of the UK’s foremost puppet-based production companies with a list of credits as long as, well, your arm…

Giles Croft on NEAT 11 Festival

Thu 26 May 2011

Another huge boost to the local arts scene takes place this summer with the launch of the Nottingham European Arts and Theatre Festival, a collaboration between the big local venues showcasing top-line performances from around the continent. Festival artistic director Giles Croft explains all…

Interview: Architects of Air

Fri 06 May 2011

Sticking bits of plastic together for Architects of Air is a rite of passage for many a Nottingham arts graduate. The resulting pneumatic sculptures - known as luminaria - have toured the world, celebrating the beauty of light and colour. This June they’ll be drifting down to land at Lakeside, so time for a chat with AoA’s artistic director Alan Parkinson….

Interview: Justin Moorhouse

Wed 27 Apr 2011

"Hostility isn't a problem, really, indifference is much worse. If people are indifferent you can't change them."

Interview: Royal Gala

Sun 17 Apr 2011

Royal Gala is an eighteen-legged ska-reggae-funk music phenomenon from Notts. The band was put together by guitarist James Waring and is fronted by vocalist Lou Barnell, with seven other musos also along for the ride. But this is no ‘manufactured’ group. It’s more like a load of random mentalists thrown together in a
room full of instruments and dance drugs and told to play or die. As you may guess, we rather like the noise they make…

Foo Fighters: Back and Forth

Tue 12 Apr 2011

A typical documentary with trials and tribulations, old footage, embarrassing baby pics and eighties hair dos

Last Shop Standing

Sun 10 Apr 2011

Graham Jones has probably visited more record shops than anyone else on planet earth. He started working as a distributor for Proper, the largest independent music distribution company in the UK, over two decades ago. Since then he has watched his customers struggle to survive in a market of online downloads and corporate dominance. And written a book about it…

We have a word with Clint Harris, owner of The Heavy Sounds in West End Arcade...

Jim Cooke of Selectadisc on Record Store Day

Sun 10 Apr 2011

"The last few years at Selectadisc were awful, staff morale was crap...it was clear we had had it."

Interview: Richard Herring

Sun 10 Apr 2011

From TV fame as part of Lee and Herring in the nineties to the comedy wilderness in the early noughties and back again; the career of Richard Herring has always been interesting. Over the last few years he’s become a regular on 6Music, a prolific podcaster and come to within an inch of winning Celebrity Mastermind. We caught up with him before his appearance at the Playhouse…

Interview: Alistair McGowan

Wed 06 Apr 2011

Alistair McGowan is best known for his work as an impersonator on prime-time TV shows like The Big Impression and Spitting Image. But as well as being able to turn his tongue to just about anyone, he’s also an experienced actor and writer, having been awarded a BAFTA and nominated for an Olivier. So what’s he doing spending the best part of April in Notts you might wonder…?

Interview: Andy Barrett

Fri 01 Apr 2011

Andy Barrett has been creating community drama events and site-specific performances in Notts for years, as well as writing plays such as Garage Band and a musical about Dolly the sheep. We caught up with him as he prepared for the Nottingham European Arts and Theatre Festival (NEAT).
