From Storing Fruit and Veg to Welcoming Live Music: We Chat With JT Soar’s Head Honcho Phil Booth

Sun 14 Jan 2024

Since JT Soar stopped storing fruit and veg and started welcoming bands as a music venue almost fifteen years ago, it has maintained its DIY sentiment while growing in popularity and success. And going into the new year, the venue will be more accessible than ever, with widened entrances and doors and access ramps, among many other modifications. We chat to Phil Booth about the importance of making the space inclusive for all, how they manage to give all of the money they make from gigs straight to the bands performing, and their important place in Nottingham’s DIY music scene…

Food Review: Uramaki Sushi

Nottingham certainly has a fabulous selection of options when it comes to dining out, but as the colder days and dark evenings descend sometimes you want the best of both worlds: tasty, professionally cooked food and the comfort and cosiness of your own home… Luckily, I was recently introduced to Uramaki, a Nottingham based service that delivers gourmet sushi to your door.

We Do Some Etymological Digging to Discover How Some of Our Local Place Names Originated

Thu 21 Dec 2023

Inherited over centuries from our ancestors to mark the lay of the land, place names give glimmers of the people and communities that occupied our terrain before us. Most often deriving from old English words relating to the landscape, or long gone land-owning families, these names evolve in the local collective consciousness while also becoming often overlooked after a time due to their familiarity. We thought we’d do a little etymological digging to discover how some of our local place names originated, and what they mean today…

Gig Review: Jadu Heart at JT Soar

Wed 20 Dec 2023

While this is certainly true for academy and arena shows, I would say that the smaller venue shows are as cost-effective as they’ve ever been – you just need to be willing to look for them. Enter electro-folk duo Jadu Heart, who stopped by JT Soar this week for the final stop on their Bleak Midwinter Tour, where all tickets cost just £5. Here’s what went down…
