Notts Kids Band Johnny and the Raindrops Turn Ten

Tue 11 Sep 2018

Johnny and the Raindrops have been on the Nottingham music scene for yonks. Ten years this September, to be precise. But rather than dropping drum 'n' bass to goggle-eyed twenty-somethings down Brickworks, or titillating silver tabs with jazz in dimly-lit bars, the band cater to the city's musical nippers. We sat down with founder, musical director and long-time little-fish-shape thrower Liam Maloy...

Notts Cabbies Vs CPOs in Charity Match

Fri 07 Sep 2018

As a Forest fan, I needed my faith in football (and, without wanting to be too dramatic, humanity) restored this weekend, after a summer that promised so much yet has delivered precious little. If I’m not mistaken, it’s hardly been a barrel of laughs for our sisters and brothers across the Trent either.

School of Hard Notts: Wrestling Resurgence Present Spandex Ballet

Fri 31 Aug 2018

On Saturday 8 September, three of Nottingham’s ‘ardest men will wrestle for supremacy in an inter-generational battle of wills to crown the Sheriff of the Nottingham grappling scene. Wrestling fans are used to seeing their larger-than-life heroes getting down to business in sports halls or nightclubs, but in a world first the “Battle of Nottingham” will be contested in the renowned Nottingham Contemporary art gallery - a venue more accustomed to chin-stroking than chin-music. Chaz Wright talks to Sam West, producer of the exciting new promotion Wrestling Resurgence, to find out more about Spandex Ballet...

Notts Councillor in Proper Epic Trek

Thu 23 Aug 2018

Here in Notts we don’t do things by half; Arif Qureshi’s taxi is trashed by yobs, you lot club together to buy him a new cab. Trump pops over the pond and Notts rocks up and performs a mass conga in protest. The city is reported to have one of the worst reading rates in the country and we enlist Dolly Parton. OK, that last part might be a slight exaggeration but, having said that, the head of Nottingham City Council is leading by example and embarking on a colossal challenge to give our kids access to free books.
