Sat 08 Aug 2020There aren’t many things in life that are a given these days. One exception, however, is the guaranteed beauty of a new album release by Notts-born singer songwriter Natalie Duncan. Free, which was released on 31 July this year, is Nat’s first full-length album since 2012, and is full of her customary soul-infused melodies and candid lyrics. Featuring tracks written over a number of years since 2012, it’s one heck of an expansive record, brimming with vivacity and ambition. We caught up with Nat to chat about her Notts roots, the new record and her musical life in the age of COVID-19….
Singer Mollie Ralph on Her Fundraising Efforts and Working as a Community Nurse During the Pandemic

Yet this is only half the story; by night, Mollie takes to the stage with all the glamour and glow of Norah Jones, but by day, she works on the frontlines of the NHS as a community nurse...

The Meaning of Punk with Bloody Head
Fri 25 Aug 2017Since getting together sometime last year, Bloody Head have spent no time messing around. They’ve knocked out two collections of dirgey yet groove-heavy hardcore punk in the same amount of time it takes most bands to work out what filter they want to use on their Instagram photos. Plus, their live shows feel like being run over by a bulldozer of noise and discordant energy. In short, they’re easily one of the most exciting bands in Nottingham, which is why we nabbed Dave (vocals) and Andy (guitar) for a chat to find out more…
