Clearing The Gap: Nottingham Skateboarders on Why Age Means Nowt

24 September 18

On the face of it, skateboarding can seem scary; like some secret club you can only join with a kickflip password. But it’s for anyone and everyone, no matter how old you are. There’s no line that says you can’t be a part of the culture.

Pete Chilvers is the man behind Nottingham hip hop camp 1st Blood. His day-ones include Ty Healy, Louis Cypher, Liam Bailey and Cappo, to name just a few, and in his younger years he was under the wing of Bristolian monolith Tricky as a label signee. After a five-year release hiatus, 1st Blood have stuck a new album into the airwaves, so we thought we’d catch up with the man on the buttons...

The Nottingham Women Ending the Gender Skate Gap

Skateboarding holds all kinds of stereotypes, but most people associate the sport with a group of lads utilising any block of concrete they can find as assets to their impressive activities. There’s a gender association that comes with skateboarding that needs correcting.

Notts Kids Band Johnny and the Raindrops Turn Ten

11 September 18

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...

You’ll often catch ‘em trying to make some cash through get-rich schemes, and their latest foolproof plan is to go on a European tour and swindle money off ticket sales. They’ll be crashing Notts later this month, so we thought we better rahnd ‘em up for a chat...
