In this vid we try and unpack this, and hopefully help you feel a bit better about your music and yourself.

Thu 17 Sep 2020Lenton locals may have spotted the remnants of The Chimera Plantarium Project on Church Drive. Two vividly coloured and curiously shaped murals command a presence that hints towards their leafy beginnings and leaves passers-by turning their heads.
