Interview: Will Robinson of I'm Not From London

Wed 07 Dec 2011

Interview: Smallkid

Sun 20 Nov 2011

From creating iconic flyers for Detonate to massive pieces at Glastonbury, Nathan Bainbridge - under the nom de spray of Kid 30 (Smallkid) – has become one of the city’s premier street artists. Here’s a chance to have a nose through his scrapbook...

Interview: Johnny Crump

Wed 02 Nov 2011

Johnny Crump is a turntablist-stroke-producer-stroke-artist who be flexing his considerable skills live at our Gunpowder, Treason and Pot night at Nottingham Contemporary this November…

Interview: Nottingham Panther's Jeff Heerema and Rob Lachowicz

Wed 02 Nov 2011

While Forest and County bumble along in their respective (lower) divisions, the most successful professional sports team in Nottingham quietly goes about its business of hoovering up trophies left and right – and this season they’re making a serious run at winning their first league title since 1955. They’re your Nottingham Panthers, and two
of them – right-winger Jeff Heerema from Thunder Bay, Ontario and left-winger Rob Lachowicz from Wollaton – had a word with us…

Interview: Mimm's Nathaniel Coltrane

Wed 02 Nov 2011

Mimm: it’s a clothes shop. And an art gallery. And a record label. And a club night. And according to owner Nathaniel Coltrane, it’s only just started…

Interview: The Lambhorse Cabaret

Sat 29 Oct 2011

The Lambhorse Cabaret: 21st century vaudeville for the theatrical underclass, a party like it’s 1889, or a gloriously elaborate arse-about through the city’s biggest dressing-up box? Time to ask founder and Ringmaster Mark Evans who he and his confederates think they are…

Interview: Missimp

Mon 24 Oct 2011

After over a decade of high-energy improvised comedy shows, Nottingham’s very own MissImp now have a regular residency at Glee. Nick Tyler, Lloydie, Marilyn Bird and Martin Findell are four of the group’s regular performers; they spoke to us in the style of… (opens envelope) a dead pop star who has…(opens another envelope) just found out that their dad has had a sex change…

Nottingham Comedy Festival

Fri 09 Sep 2011

The Nottingham Comedy Festival returns for its third year this September, offering a chance to see some of the greats perform their post-Edinburgh shows - as well as workshops and try-out gigs for aspiring performers. So we collared festival directors Helen Stead and Elliott Bower and asked...

Interview: Roxy Rob

Thu 08 Sep 2011

You might know Robert Ivars Michailovs-Mètra as that bloke who walks up Mansfield Road as if he owns the place. You might think of him as a local fashion mogul who actually could have owned it, were it not for the drink. You almost definitely know him as Roxy Rob, and after you’ve read this, you’ll know a little bit more...

Interview: Headstock Festival's Mick Leivers

Wed 07 Sep 2011

Headstock is a three-day music festival that takes place at the Newstead & Annesley Country Park, but if you think it’s another opportunity to listen to landfill indie whilst being bombarded with mobile phone adverts, think again; this event is geared towards getting an ex-mining community back on its feet and turning it back into a self-sustainable community. Headstock MD Mick Leivers tells us about this prime example of Notts folk mekkin’ their own entertainment…

Interview: Michael Pinchbeck on The Ashes

Wed 31 Aug 2011

Michael Pinchbeck is a writer, live artist, performance-maker, and one half of the creative team behind Hatch. His latest project is The Ashes, the story of the infamous ‘Bodyline’ England cricket tour to Australia in 1932-33 that left the game’s reputation tarnished. On the verge of its debut performance at the Playhouse, we aimed a few questions at him - which he batted away with consummate ease…

Interview: The Money

Wed 17 Aug 2011

"Having a festival main stage slot under our belts isn’t going to hurt at all"

Interview: Mark Patterson on Roman Nottinghamshire

Mon 15 Aug 2011

Whilst other places in the UK wear their Roman origins like a badge of honour, there’s virtually nothing to look at in Notts – so much so that we’ve been described as an ‘archaeological blackspot’. Mark Patterson’s book Roman Nottinghamshire is the first step towards reclaiming our Roman heritage…

Interview: Mark Crossley

Fri 12 Aug 2011

Mark Crossley - known as ‘Norm’ during his thirteen years as Forest’s goalkeeper, due to a resemblance to Norman Whiteside - started his career being hated by his own supporters. Then he nearly became the hero of the 1991 FA Cup final and a club legend. Nowadays he’s a player-coach at Chesterfield, an after-dinner speaker, and - as of this month - his own publisher...

Interview: Dog Is Dead

Mon 25 Jul 2011

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: Viv Anderson

Mon 18 Jul 2011

"People ask me to try and compare Brian with Fergie... it’s very, very close but I’d say that Cloughie just pips Sir Alex"

Interview: Deborah Stevenson

Thu 07 Jul 2011

Deborah Stevenson left London to study in Nottingham and find her feet as a festival organiser, founder of Mouthy Poets and one of the UK’s most exciting spoken word acts – all filmed by Channel 4 as part of their Year Dot project. One year after the cameras stopped rolling, she’s still going from strength to strength…

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...

Interview: Mick Newell

Thu 09 Jun 2011

Summer’s here, and Notts County Cricket Club is defending their County Champions title. A lot of the credit for that goes to Mick Newell, the Outlaws’ highly-regarded director of cricket, and a man who could well be doing the same job for England in time…

Interview: Patrick Smith of Veggies

Mon 06 Jun 2011

If you grew up in Notts and don’t partake in meat, you probably owe a huge debt to Patrick Smith. Why? Because he’s spent three decades as a vegan activist while slinging veggie burgers from a van in town, backin the day when ‘vegetarian option’ meant ‘just chips’. Now operating his veggie business out of the SumacCentre in Forest Fields, he talks about a meat-free career, the Ratcliffe-on-Soar debacle, and Mark Kennedy…

Interview: Darren Fletcher

Mon 06 Jun 2011

Darren Fletcher is the Arnold lad who gets paid to go to the World Cup and the Super Bowl, gets his feet under assorted press boxes for Five Live, banters with the entire UK about footy and hosts the An Evening With... nights at the Approach. And he knows Robbie Savage...

Interview: Liam Bailey

Mon 06 Jun 2011

He’s knocked about with Damian Marley and Aswad’s Brinsley Forde. His new album is produced by Salaam Remi, of Fugees and Nas fame. He’s been at No.5 with Chase and Status, he’s signed to Polydor, and Amy Winehouse has got his tea on. Yep, things have moved on a bit for Liam Bailey since he played LeftLion gigs back in the day, but he’s still proper Notts...

Interview: Tim Smith of Fourmost Films

Mon 06 Jun 2011

Fourmost Films come from the Shop stable with a can-do attitude, a string of short films that have garnered attention from all over the place and a hunger to turn Nottingham into one of the hubs of the UK indie-film scene. Head honcho Tim Smith manages to drag his head from the edit suite long enough to spell out his masterplan…
