This April they return home for the Dancing on Ice Tour and as part of the NEAT14 festival the Nottingham public will be encouraged to enact a mass Bolero. We put some questions to the duo and take a look back at that moment when they made sporting history…
Whirlwind doesn’t describe the last two years of Indiana’s life - since her first ever live performance at Nusic’s Future Sound of Nottingham gig in April 2012; she’s been signed to Sony, had a second child, is set to release her fourth single and play a hometown gig that’s going to struggle to contain her. Not too shabby for a lass from Long Eaton who likes her pop a darker shade of grey…

"Which books rocked your world growing up?"
Sid Vicious was a sneering, violent, charismatic icon of an era of music that spoke to a disaffected generation. One of those he shouted loudly at was Paul Kaye, an actor and comedian who has graced our screens with his own alter-egos, including Dennis Pennis and Mike Strutter, as well as in dramas such as Game of Thrones and Waking The Dead. As the 35th anniversary of Vicious’ death approaches, he muses on the man and the legend...

Kenneth Alan Taylor has spent a lifetime playing panto dames but he’ll finally hang up his sequined frocks and beehive wigs after this Christmas. More than a man in a dress, he also writes and directs the Playhouse pantos he stars in.

One of the three founding members lives in Prague, another in Antwerp, another in France, and they collectively left town over twenty years ago. Yet to many, Tindersticks are still seen as a Nottingham band. Ahead of the release of their tenth studio album, Across Six Leap Years, keyboardist Dave Boulter talks to us about the band’s roots, and about their recent re-invigoration of some old favourites...
For the last decade she’s been our unofficial mascot. Su Pollard, or ‘Mother Nottingham’ as we like to call her. She made her name in TV series like Hi-de-Hi! and You Rang M’Lord? She even got to number two in the UK singles charts in 1986 - a time when that actually meant something. She’s coming home this December as Theatre Royal have confirmed her for this year’s panto. We finally hooked her up with Nottingham’s Mr Sex...
