The West Bridgford lad’s come a long way since we first interviewed him for issue #49 back in 2010, so we grabbed a chat with him as we anticipate his potential scoop of the Iron Throne...

She’s a journalist, presenter, and transgender rights activist, now adding to the mix with a new book due to be released this year. Not bad for a girl from Hucknall...

A Catch Up with Jake Bugg

There aren’t many eighteen-year olds that get whisked away from Clifton, hailed as the new Bob Dylan, and sent around the various corners of the globe on tour. For a lad who’s just turned 24, Nottingham’s very own Jake Bugg has packed a fair bit in since we last spoke to him…

Happy 1st Birthday to Board Game Cafe Ludorati

While café culture has never really taken off in the UK, mainly due to our notoriously inconsistent weather, board game café culture is making big strides. While pubs such as the Malt Cross and BrewDog have always had board games in them, and some places even have board game nights, the last couple of years have seen the opening of two dedicated board game cafes in Nottingham. With Ludorati recently celebrating being open for a year, I headed off on a grey, drab Sunday afternoon with a few friends to see if board games have really shed their boring image…
