Interview: Roxy Rob

Thu 08 Sept 2011

You might know Robert Ivars Michailovs-Mètra as that bloke who walks up Mansfield Road as if he owns the place. You might think of him as a local fashion mogul who actually could have owned it, were it not for the drink. You almost definitely know him as Roxy Rob, and after you’ve read this, you’ll know a little bit more...

Interview: Headstock Festival's Mick Leivers

Wed 07 Sept 2011

Headstock is a three-day music festival that takes place at the Newstead & Annesley Country Park, but if you think it’s another opportunity to listen to landfill indie whilst being bombarded with mobile phone adverts, think again; this event is geared towards getting an ex-mining community back on its feet and turning it back into a self-sustainable community. Headstock MD Mick Leivers tells us about this prime example of Notts folk mekkin’ their own entertainment…

Interview: Michael Pinchbeck on The Ashes

Wed 31 Aug 2011

Michael Pinchbeck is a writer, live artist, performance-maker, and one half of the creative team behind Hatch. His latest project is The Ashes, the story of the infamous ‘Bodyline’ England cricket tour to Australia in 1932-33 that left the game’s reputation tarnished. On the verge of its debut performance at the Playhouse, we aimed a few questions at him - which he batted away with consummate ease…

Interview: Mark Patterson on Roman Nottinghamshire

Mon 15 Aug 2011

Whilst other places in the UK wear their Roman origins like a badge of honour, there’s virtually nothing to look at in Notts – so much so that we’ve been described as an ‘archaeological blackspot’. Mark Patterson’s book Roman Nottinghamshire is the first step towards reclaiming our Roman heritage…

Interview: Mark Crossley

Fri 12 Aug 2011

Mark Crossley - known as ‘Norm’ during his thirteen years as Forest’s goalkeeper, due to a resemblance to Norman Whiteside - started his career being hated by his own supporters. Then he nearly became the hero of the 1991 FA Cup final and a club legend. Nowadays he’s a player-coach at Chesterfield, an after-dinner speaker, and - as of this month - his own publisher...
