As part of the Museums at Night project, he came to St Ann’s Allotments to shoot the people who call it a home away from home. We popped down to the event and caught a few words of wisdom from the mononymous man...

Mon 30 Jun 2014When it comes to low-budget eighties horror and ‘weirdiana’, writer David Flint is the man to go to. With a new book, Sheer Filth, just hitting the shelves, we spoke to him about his early fanzine days, getting arrested over possession of video nasties (twice), his campaign for Nottingham fetish clubs, and why they just don’t make porn like they used to...

Interview: Kogumaza
Wed 18 Jun 2014Our music is about finding patterns, bending and pulling, twisting, distorting and invertingWith a name that roughly translates from Japanese in to English as Ursa Minor, a constellation in the Northern Sky, it’s apt that Kogumaza have spent the best part of five years creating hypnotic, beguiling music that can often feel otherworldly. Between them Chris, Katy, Mark and Neil have been involved in the local music scene for twenty years, from playing in numerous bands, putting on shows, designing posters, and even hosting a show on Radio Trent. On the eve of the release of their second full length album, three of the band speak to LeftLion...

The Sneinton Art Scene
Tue 17 Jun 2014Nottingham will never be mistaken for Paris but it is slowly being reorganised into French-style ‘quarters.’ In April the city council approved plans for Royal, Canal and Castle quarters to go with the business-orientated Creative Quarter that is based in and around Hockley. While LeftLion understand that there are as yet no plans to actually reorganise residential areas of Nottingham into arrondissements, readers may be wondering if there are also plans afoot to create the equivalent of Paris’ bohemian Left Bank.

Fri 13 Jun 2014Once the most prestigious bike race in the country, The Milk Race was an annual cycling event, sponsored by the now-defunct Milk Marketing Board, that ran from 1958 until 1993.
