Gig review: Sports Team at Metronome

Thu 01 Oct 2026

The news this past week has all been about one sports team, one that has been up to all sorts of things, creating chaos in the process. No, this isn’t the biggest scandal in the history of sport, but a chaos brought about by the end of a storming tour. Tonight was the final leg, and, as the cliché goes, you save the best till last. Sports Team’s chaos was being put to good use, better than the  dishonourable chaos that a certain other sports team has been found guilty of…

Tue 29 Sept 2026

Ahead of their show at Rock City later this week celebrating 20 years of their beloved debut album, With Love And Squalor, LeftLion caught up with the band’s charismatic frontman, Keith Murray…

The hunt for the Wollaton Gnomes

Thu 24 Sept 2026

Many of us endured the lengthy summer heatwave by taking extended walks under clear skies, and there are few better places than the grounds of Nottingham's stunning mansion, Wollaton Hall. Listening to the charming toot of the whistle from the engine at the Industrial Museum and the chatter of families enjoying a nibble in the courtyard, with deer drifting about - proper Nottingham idyll. What most people don’t realise is that these are the same grounds that have a quiet history of something far stranger: encounters with gnomes.
