As a founder member of the DiY collective, one of Britain's first house sound-systems, Pete Woosh has been a leading figure in the UK counter-culture for almost thirty years. Whether DJing solo or with his long-time DiY sidekick, Digs, he has performed everywhere from Glastonbury to Dismaland, Banksy’s apocalyptic theme park style art exhibition. But after being diagnosed with highly aggressive head and neck cancer in December of 2015, he decided to take a natural approach to treatment, and is about to launch The 52 Card Trick project to give something back to everyone that helped him...

Meet Visage - Nottingham’s Wrestlin’ Bitch Face. Another House of Pain alumnus building momentum on the UK’s grappling scene Visage is a flamboyant and instantly recognisable character. He’s also proper nails - mock his collection of amazing wigs and he’ll slap the taste out of your mouth. Visage’s blend of humour, innuendo and merciless bludgeoning is an unusual in-ring fusion invoking classic performers like Gorgeous George and Cassandro. We cornered Visage for a chat in a pleasingly kitsch tiki-bar.

Now, in an exclusive and frank interview with LeftLion, he reveals that from May he will leave our local authority behind forever.

Now over 45 years on, the lads are still finding the time to hit the road and make music.

“The world is a circus” reads the programme for the latest show – Cirque – from septet Mnozil Brass, who return to Nottingham for a show at the Royal Concert Hall this month. Merging comedy with virtuoso brass performances, they astound audiences the world over with the quality of their music, while simultaneously dissolving them into hilarity. A band that has to be experienced to be truly appreciated, they are funny, but the music, their talent and their sheer love of their craft is always front and centre. We caught up with the band’s sharply-dressed trumpet player (and sometime magician) Roman Rindberger who, when he’s not touring with Mnozil, is also a professor of music in his native Vienna...
