Interview: Holly Lucas

Having graced our screens in a scruffy apron and bonnet for the Channel 4 series The Mill over the course of last year, Holly Lucas has now ditched the dirty work in favour of the Buddhist faith.

Interview: Darren Stanton, The Human Lie Detector

With a talent for spotting when people are telling porkies, Darren Stanton has been dubbed ‘the world’s leading human lie detector’. Spending his time travelling between his home in Carlton and his increasing work and celebrity in Los Angeles, he lives a somewhat double life. We were on our best behaviour when we met him...

Interview: Ferocious Dog

Few Notts bands can say they’ve sold out Rescue Rooms and The Bodega, let alone boast a Glastonbury headliner (we’re talking Pyramid Stage too, not Jethro’s Lentil Yurt Stage). Ferocious Dog can. Hailing from Warsop, they released their debut album in 2013 and are set to release their second. We had a natter with fiddle player and co-songwriter, Dan Booth.

Interview: Shelter Point

Shelter Point’s woozy, dreamy songs are winning over every tastemaker, from Zane Lowe to the LeftLion team. Back from a UK tour with Indiana, and with a Sony deal in the bag, we sat down with singer Liam and producer Robin to find out how it all began, what’s next, and their adventures in between…

Interview: Amy White, Nottingham Forest Ladies

Amy White, Midfielder for Nottingham Forest Ladies FC, was scouted by Forest as a nipper. Seemingly unable to sit still, the 23-year-old holds down a full-time job, plays professional football and somehow manages to fit in coaching and a social life. Currently out with an injury, we chatted to her about her love of the beautiful game...

Featuring Amy (live bass), Bod (recorded bass), Chris (guitars), Dave (drums) and James (vocals), the members of Grey Hairs all play in other Nottingham bands including Fonda 500, Fists, Kogumaza and Bus Stop Madonnas.

Interview: Aisling Loftus

Don’t be fooled by the Cockney accent, Aisling Loftus may play a southerner in the ITV drama Mr Selfridge, but she’s cut from Nottingham cloth. With roles lined up in an adaptation of the notoriously weighty War and Peace, and the somewhat lighter Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, we spoke to her about her screen journey thus far…
