Interview: Headstock Festival's Mick Leivers

Wed 07 Sep 2011

Headstock is a three-day music festival that takes place at the Newstead & Annesley Country Park, but if you think it’s another opportunity to listen to landfill indie whilst being bombarded with mobile phone adverts, think again; this event is geared towards getting an ex-mining community back on its feet and turning it back into a self-sustainable community. Headstock MD Mick Leivers tells us about this prime example of Notts folk mekkin’ their own entertainment…

Interview: Michael Pinchbeck on The Ashes

Wed 31 Aug 2011

Michael Pinchbeck is a writer, live artist, performance-maker, and one half of the creative team behind Hatch. His latest project is The Ashes, the story of the infamous ‘Bodyline’ England cricket tour to Australia in 1932-33 that left the game’s reputation tarnished. On the verge of its debut performance at the Playhouse, we aimed a few questions at him - which he batted away with consummate ease…

Interview: Mark Patterson on Roman Nottinghamshire

Mon 15 Aug 2011

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…

Interview: Mark Crossley

Fri 12 Aug 2011

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...

Left Brian: 2011/12 Season Preview

Fri 05 Aug 2011

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?

Left Magpie: 2011-12 Notts County Season Preview

Fri 05 Aug 2011

The good news: the Pies reached some kind of stability in 2011. The bad news: it was in the shape of a record-breaking losing streak. Can Martin Allen keep them up, or is it back to the basement?

Interview: Dog Is Dead

Mon 25 Jul 2011

They smashed it at Glastonbury, ripped up the festival circuit, dropped a critically-acclaimed debut single and got a huge leg-up by the BBC this summer - so could Bridgford boys Dog Is Dead be the first Notts band in ages to take it to the next level?

Interview: Viv Anderson

Mon 18 Jul 2011

"People ask me to try and compare Brian with Fergie... it’s very, very close but I’d say that Cloughie just pips Sir Alex"

Splendour: A day-long chunk of festie goodness, without the massive mobile phone adverts. And tents left behind by gormless students that blow across a field and upset some cows. And being in a different postcode to the nearest decent bog. Our Music Editor marks your card for this year’s event…

Interview: Deborah Stevenson

Thu 07 Jul 2011

Deborah Stevenson left London to study in Nottingham and find her feet as a festival organiser, founder of Mouthy Poets and one of the UK’s most exciting spoken word acts – all filmed by Channel 4 as part of their Year Dot project. One year after the cameras stopped rolling, she’s still going from strength to strength…

Interview: The Nusic Team

Thu 16 Jun 2011

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...

Interview: Dom Joly

Thu 16 Jun 2011

Dom Joly’s CV is so studded with career highlights and downright randomness that his current incarnation – as a media-age raconteur and author – almost seems like downtime. On his way to the Playhouse to perform his one-man show, we collared him for a chat about mental ex-classmates, skiing in Iran, and everything in between...

Interview: Mick Newell

Thu 09 Jun 2011

Summer’s here, and Notts County Cricket Club is defending their County Champions title. A lot of the credit for that goes to Mick Newell, the Outlaws’ highly-regarded director of cricket, and a man who could well be doing the same job for England in time…

Interview: Patrick Smith of Veggies

Mon 06 Jun 2011

If you grew up in Notts and don’t partake in meat, you probably owe a huge debt to Patrick Smith. Why? Because he’s spent three decades as a vegan activist while slinging veggie burgers from a van in town, backin the day when ‘vegetarian option’ meant ‘just chips’. Now operating his veggie business out of the SumacCentre in Forest Fields, he talks about a meat-free career, the Ratcliffe-on-Soar debacle, and Mark Kennedy…
