Interview: Alex from Ideas on Paper

Tue 14 Oct 2014

Despite the digital revolution, reading a magazine on a device is never quite as good as the real thing. It’s not all nostalgia - although yes, there is something wonderful about flicking through pages at leisure while getting a hit of the distinctive smell of ink and paper - physical print is actually easier to read. We spoke to Alex Smith, the man behind the independent magazine shop Ideas On Paper, about why print is here to stay...

Interview: Gallery 47

Mon 25 Aug 2014

Three years ago, a singer-songwriter called Jack Peachey – with the stage name of Gallery 47 – released his debut album, Fate is the Law, and looked set to be the city’s next breakthrough star. A health scare dented his momentum, but over the last eighteen months things have been going from strength to strength: label interest and a tour with Paul Weller have made 2014 a great year, and his second album, All Will Be Well, is released in September…

Interview: Shaun Derry

Wed 20 Aug 2014

Born and bred in Nottingham, Shaun Derry cut his teeth at Notts County before setting off on a career that took in Sheffield United, QPR, Crystal Palace – a few times – and Leeds United.

Interview: Stuart Pearce

Tue 19 Aug 2014

Brought to the City Ground by Cloughie, Stuart Pearce played for Forest for twelve years, becoming their most capped international player and a stone cold cult favourite as he earned his ‘Psycho’ moniker. Ending his time here as a caretaker player-manager in 1997, he is now back as manager after proving his mettle with Manchester City, England under-21s and the 2012 Olympic Great Britain team. As the club prepares for an assault on promotion to the Premier League, we had a chat with the man himself…

Interview: Comic Artist D'Israeli

Tue 12 Aug 2014

Interview: Ross Noble

Mon 11 Aug 2014

If you like your comedy a bit surreal and not at all structured, Ross Noble is your man. Not only is he currently on the box with a TV show controlled by Twitter, he’s about to tour the country with his new stand-up show, Tangentleman. With him gracing two Nottingham stages in the coming months, we thought it’d be rude not to have a chat...

Interview: Rankin

Fri 18 Jul 2014

Rankin is a portrait and fashion photographer behind the inception of magazines Dazed and Confused, Another and Hunger. Throughout his career, he’s pointed his lens at a dream list of celebrities, including Madonna, Kate Moss and David Bowie. He even got the Queen to crack a smile. 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...

Interview: David Flint talks Sheer Filth

Mon 30 Jun 2014

When it comes to low-budget eighties horror and ‘weirdiana’, writer David Flint is the man to go to.

Interview: Kogumaza

Wed 18 Jun 2014

Our 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...

Interview: Ed Clancy on The Milk Race

Fri 13 Jun 2014

Once 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. After a twenty-year hiatus, it returned to the streets of Nottingham city centre last year and looks set to be a regular event on the sporting calendar. We spoke to professional competitor Ed Clancy, an Olympic gold cyclist, about the sprint on two wheels.

Interview: Jeremy Deller

Wed 11 Jun 2014

Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller’s work is chock-full of the politics of working class Britain, from the miners’ strike and riots to the effects of the Industrial Revolution on popular culture. Mark Patterson remembers his own experiences of riots, before trying to pin down the evasive Deller for a few answers...

Interview: London Grammar

Fri 06 Jun 2014

The band known for their single Wasting My Young Years have been doing anything but. They met at the University of Nottingham in 2009 and by 2012 London Grammar managed to not only graduate, but land themselves a record deal. They’re also now the proud owners of a platinum selling debut album. Clever stuff. Guitarist Dan Rothman talks about Hoodtown, No Tomorrow Festival and, of course, hair...

Interview: Wolfgang Buttress

Thu 29 May 2014

Wolfgang Buttress has put angel’s wings and a halo above a London street, woven metal trees into The Lace Market, created floating spheres in Belfast and mapped the universe in Australia.
