So, for those who adorn the spike and patch-covered jackets we thought we’d take a trip down hellfire lane, as well as a look to the fiery future, to see which heavy metal legends have come to owd Nottingham and who, in 2020, are yet to go.

Back in ‘66, James Brown might have crooned that “this is a man’s world”, but these days we know that’s nowhere near the truth. When it comes to music there’s no doubt there’s a thirst for inclusive, safe spaces for those who don’t identify as a fella, and Notts absolutely has plenty to add to that conversation.

We’ve rounded up a snapshot of some of the best community groups for music-loving females or non-binary folk who’d love to get involved.
