Sandeep Mahal on Nottingham’s Status as a UNESCO City of Literature

Wed 03 Jan 2018

Nottingham is a literary city. From the heritage of Byron, Lawrence and Sillitoe, to the proliferation of today’s writing scene, the literary conversation here in Nottingham is a roiling cacophony.

Mon 25 Sep 2017

Hip hop history in Nottingham is ridiculously rich; too rich to fit into one article. This piece is an introduction, the iceberg tip of a topic that we’ve been lucky enough to clock thanks to Pariz 1, DJ Fever and Courtney Rose, who put their time aside to drop endless OG gems; some of which have been stored in the LeftLion vault, for future podcast-related endeavours. Before we go in deep, let’s take a look back at the beginnings of the movement in the US, and at hip hop’s place in humble Notts…
