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?

Gay Up Me Duck

Thu 28 Jul 2011

With Pride taking place over the weekend, Troubled Diva (aka Mike Atkinson) takes us through Gay Nottingham past and present...

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: 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...

Giles Croft on NEAT 11 Festival

Thu 26 May 2011

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…

Interview: Andy Barrett

Fri 01 Apr 2011

Andy Barrett has been creating community drama events and site-specific performances in Notts for years, as well as writing plays such as Garage Band and a musical about Dolly the sheep. We caught up with him as he prepared for the Nottingham European Arts and Theatre Festival (NEAT).

Interview: Don McCalman

Fri 04 Mar 2011

Don McCalman worked through the dark ages of Nottingham nightlife; a time when door staff were bouncers, a lobbing down a flight of stairs was an acceptable way to deal with an errant customer and the profession was completely unregulated. Then he wrote a book about it...

White Dolemite

Wed 22 Dec 2010

You probably didn’t realise that Nottingham had its very own action cinema icon walking the streets – neither did we until recently. But White Dolemite is to HoodTown what Shaft was to Harlem and alongside his buddy Video Mat (and let’s just say they share a similar relationship to that of Spiderman and Peter Parker) they have been creating some great movie posters over the last few years. The movies themselves are *ahem* not particularly easy to find though…

Interview: The Soundcarriers

Mon 20 Dec 2010

"We get bigger audiences outside of Nottingham, in places like Manchester, Sheffield and London, but it's starting to change"

Interview: John Robertson

Wed 15 Dec 2010

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.

Nottingham kicks off a week-long videogaming sesh with the return of GameCity, but be warned: lolling about on sofas is not encouraged

Interview: Vicky McClure on This Is England 86

Fri 22 Oct 2010

Taking the original film cast - most of whom come from Notts - and plunging them deep into the mire of mid-eighties Britain, Shane Meadows’ Channel 4 series This Is England ‘86 was a runaway success on it's TV run and has just been released on DVD. We collared Vicky McClure (Lol) for a natter…

Interview: Rosamund Hanson on This Is England '86

The British Art Show 7

Mon 18 Oct 2010

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…

Sideshow 2010

Mon 18 Oct 2010

"This is our chance to show a lot of people from outside of Nottingham what’s going on here. And there’ll be a lot of parties going on"

Things We Miss About Goose Fair in the 1980s

Fri 01 Oct 2010

The goose is up on the roundabout and the smell of candy floss is in the air. All we are saying is give peas a chance...

A Flag for Nottingham

Fri 01 Oct 2010

All of a sudden, there’s been a clamour for English counties to have their own flags. Lincolnshire and even Derbyshire have already got one - so why not Notts? LeftLion put the word out to its dedicated team of designers and illustrators: this is what we got back…

Interview: Terry Taylor from Programme World

Mon 09 Aug 2010

For nearly forty years, Terry Taylor has held the keys to Aladdins Cave – assuming that Aladdin was a rabid Notts County supporter and Forest memorabilia hoarder. His shop, Programme World, on Arkwright Street, is still a beacon of footballing archaeology…

We don't want to go through any more playoffs, that's for sure

Hillsborough: The Away Fans Point of View

Thu 15 Apr 2010

The Hillsborough disaster was a national tragedy, but it wasn’t our fathers, siblings and children who died there. Nevertheless, there are thousands of people in Nottingham who had to stand and watch 96 people die. This is just a fraction of their story...
