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: 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...
