It's time to celebrate the world of glue, paper, scissors and pens on the 26 May
Everything you fear it might be, that’s what it’s not...
Stephen Dilks - Dilk, to his friends, the global graffiti community, and huge chunks of wall around the city - celebrates ten years of running specialist shops in town and basically running our local street art scene.
This April sees the inaugural Homeless Film Festival, a nationwide turning of the spotlight back on to a problem that’s getting bigger and runs deeper, than ever before - and it’s all down to Notts and Manchester collective, Donkey Stone. We spoke to Jamie Rhodes about its aims and ambitions...
If they were any greener, Robin Hood would be wearing them. Part community project, part landscape design consultants, part catering service, part suppliers to Notts cafés and restaurants, 100% local produce champions, they’re on a mission to turn the entire city onto home-grown produce, as Business Development Manager John MacDonald points out….
Every Nottingham record label we can think of, what they’re into, and if they’re up for listening to your demo...
The finest artworks that have ever blown down a street in Notts
Chris Summerlin, a one-time outsider, lays out exactly why our scene is so unique
Lou Barnell from Royal Gala takes us through some of the female musical talent in Nottingham...
While Forest and County bumble along in their respective (lower) divisions, the most successful professional sports team in Nottingham quietly goes about its business of hoovering up trophies left and right – and this season they’re making a serious run at winning their first league title since 1955. They’re your Nottingham Panthers, and twoof them – right-winger Jeff Heerema from Thunder Bay, Ontario and left-winger Rob Lachowicz from Wollaton – had a word with us…
If you want to go somewhere to stand with a load of people and play games, get yourself down to the Forest for Goose Fair and try to catapault a manky rubber frog onto a rotating lilypad, for a keyring of Donny Osmond that says ‘Justin Beeber’. If you care about videogaming and where its heading, on the other hand, happy days; GameCity is back...
The protest camp in the Market Square
We dispatched our resident CanAlien Rob Cutforth off to Goose Fair, and told him not to come back without a slab of coconut ice, some brandy snap and an Elvis mirror...
The Nottingham Comedy Festival returns for its third year this September, offering a chance to see some of the greats perform their post-Edinburgh shows - as well as workshops and try-out gigs for aspiring performers. So we collared festival directors Helen Stead and Elliott Bower and asked...
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…
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...
Photos from Nottingham City Centre on Tuesday evening; lots of police, not much else
Forest failed to get out of the playoffs. Again. Old manager dumped, new manager promises better. Again. Initial foot-dragging over new signings. Again. Can Forest break the cycle this season?
With Pride taking place over the weekend, Troubled Diva (aka Mike Atkinson) takes us through Gay Nottingham past and present...
Mark Del used to fly the flag for the Nottingham music scene with Trent FM, but now him and his team - including Arielle Bosworth and Liz Riordan - have linked up with LeftLion to drop Nusic, help take the local scene to the next level and - maybe, just maybe - get your band on the main stage at Splendour...
Another huge boost to the local arts scene takes place this summer with the launch of the Nottingham European Arts and Theatre Festival, a collaboration between the big local venues showcasing top-line performances from around the continent. Festival artistic director Giles Croft explains all…
John Robertson was your archetypal terrace favourite for over a decade at Forest. In part it was because he obviously liked his pies, pints and fags, but mainly for providing the cross that Trevor Francis got on the end of in 1979, the goal that beat Hamburg in 1980, and all those photos of kids holding up the European Cup in Nottingham pubs thirty years ago.
A guide to the fringe events of this years British Art Show, which are on right now in a place near you
Nottingham kicks off a week-long videogaming sesh with the return of GameCity, but be warned: lolling about on sofas is not encouraged
The British Art Show happens once every five years, its importance to the UK art scene cannot be overestimated - and the seventh incarnation is being held over three months in little ol’ Nottingham. On the eve of the most important cultural event to happen in Notts since time, we talk to curators Lisa Le Feuvre and Tom Morton…
