History, style and roses: we visited The Bath Inn in Sneinton Market

Among Nottingham’s huge array of historical pubs, The Bath Inn, near the LeftLion offices in Sneinton Market, is one of our favourites, distinctive for its quasi-Egyptian decor, beautiful flower arrangements and the rich sense of history that hits you from the first step you take through the door. We visited for a chat with the Nottingham-born landlord Piers Baker, previously a rose grower by trade, to find out how the 19th century bar became the unique spot that it is today.

Rock City gives Lemmy a new home

The roar of engines and unmistakeable smell of petrol fumes signalled the arrival of a Harley Davidson convoy descending on Nottingham’s Talbot Street last night, as the ashes of Lemmy Kilmister of celebrated band Motörhead were delivered to Rock City...

We caught up with reggae ska band The Hoplites

There's a reason to get excited again about the reggae and ska scene in Nottingham and it's time to start talking about The Hoplites. A nine-piece band of experienced musicians from Nottingham, with a deep love of reggae and ska and a maxi single just released, we were eager to know more about their writing and performance process. Kane, Raph, Big Ben, Mikey, Mike, Amy, Little Ben, Sylvain and Lee took some time out to speak to LeftLion on just that.
