Gig review: Brooke Combe at Rescue Rooms

Fri 17 Apr 2026

Morrissey once quipped "Manchester, so much to answer for…" during the heyday of seminal indie trailblazers, The Smiths. The same could be said of another scene pioneered in the North West: Northern Soul. More than 50 years after sparking into life at its cultural home, the Wigan Casino, thanks to the long lost Tamla Motown and soul tracks unearthed and spun following visits across the pond, the roots of the much-revered movement still spread to this day. Brooke Combe is keeping the trend growing..,

A walk in the park: how the King George V Memorial Fund helped preserve our green spaces

Wed 15 Apr 2026

We’re lucky to have lots of local parks in Nottingham – but they don’t just establish or maintain themselves. As the lungs, playgrounds, and life-givers of our city, they’ve seen a whole range of uses over time, from wartime food growing through to cricket grounds, football pitches, and skate parks. Celebrating the enduring legacy of King George V’s memorial fund, genealogist and local historian Russell Davies of Leaves of History digs deep into the origins of the parks it bestowed, and their shifting purposes and stewardship.

Review: Dave Rowntree in conversation at Metronome

Sun 12 Apr 2026

Spring has sprung and swept into town not one, but two members of much-loved 1990s indie survivors Blur in recent weeks. Following a dazzling appearance by virtuoso frontman Damon Albarn’s Gorillaz at the arena the night the clocks went forward, much-loved drummer Dave Rowntree’s date in our fair city may be far more low-key but is still engaging and enlightening. Here on the latest leg of his Q&A tour to promote his new coffee table-style photographic memoir of the band’s early days, No One You Know, Rowntree spent 90 minutes regaling the audience with the stories behind the celluloid images under the trusty stewardship of BBC Radio Nottingham’s Dean Jackson...
