Leeks Soap and Nottingham - Part 4 of 5 Saturday, December 4, 2010
The awesome force that was the Salad Pig, circa 1989. Shot in a day, using a video camera the size of a small elephant on hire from Radio Rentals, this was the first and penultimate venture into the world of cinematography for our heroes. Unscripted and undaunted, using only a box of props hastily assembled from whatever they could steal from their parents fridges, wardobes, garages etc, they laid down the foundations for what was to become almost a few massive months of relative obscurity. Sadly, the whereabouts of arguably the "Pig"'s greatest work; "Man with Book (Give it Back, Give it Back), is today unknown and feared lost for ever. However, rumour has it that acclaimed TV producer and all round nice bloke Russell T Davies may in fact still have a copy, probably in a downstairs lavvy in one of his many residences somewhere. Russell, if you're watching, give it back! :P If you happen across these video clips, the likelihood is that watching them will induce bewilderment, despair, and a realisation of exactly where Great Britain took a turn for the worse. However, to those that were there, may these clips bring you as much joy in the watching as i had being part of them, and look back to a time when life was uncomplicated, everything was a laugh, and NOTHING was a step too far. Dave, Brad, Wiff, Raynor and Wilge (aka Andy Stardust) - Comedy salutes you!

Nottingham City Center part36 Monday, November 22, 2010
Nottingham Accommodation at Your Service Thursday, October 28, 2010
Visiting any remarkable and prominent place, for instance the city of Nottingham and planning to stay there more than one day the first issue to be decided is where to stay in Nottingham. To tell the truth the city is very hospitable and cordial thus it offers a great number of choices available to you. Tourists, students or ordinary passers-through visiting the city at any point can find comfortable accommodation they can afford. The range of choice starts with luxurious hotels and ends with more affordable family residence buildings or bed and breakfast guest houses.
High season disadvantage
The money you pay for your dwelling depends on two factors, the type of residence building and the time of year you intend to visit the city. It stands to reason that high season, that is in summer period presents higher costs especially if you plan to put up at a city centre hotel, in this case you will have to spend considerably more than you would for one that is located on the outskirts of the city. Let us consider the way out for those whose budget is somewhat limited, however they still wish to visit Nottingham in summer. In this particular situation, fortunately the city of Nottingham can also offer you plenty of choices. The Holme Pierrepoint Camping and Caravan Site located in the south east side of the city is just the place for people who approach the question of their household budget very seriously.
The Igloo Tourist Hostel that is next to the bus station in Nottingham provides accommodation for those who do not mind basic comforts and will pay less. Moreover being in the immediate proximity of the bus station provides you with easy access to the centre of the city without spending much. This hostel is not the only affordable place to stay in this part of the town. There are several inexpensive and cosy bed and breakfast guest houses as well as other residence buildings. This kind of accommodation is considered especially popular among those who come to this area travelling by car. And as you can see in this situation the decision to stay a little further outside the city is not without reason. Some of these places are located in rather picturesque areas that can give you the chance to admire the legendary Nottingham Forest. The advantages to these residence buildings is that they offer only a short drive from the city and provide the visitors with good quality accommodation at a more reasonable price making them extremely popular places.
Although Nottingham has many various campuses some students don`t want to be "campused" and prefer living outside this student area. Student Lets Nottingham is just what they need to achieve their dreams. All the available, offered lodgings create a nice educational atmosphere for those who consider themselves to be self-reliant enough.It seems that Property Nottingham can satisfy even the most demanding person, even that one who is not easily satisfied.
We specialize in Student Lets Nottingham and Property Nottingham can assist you in finding a suitable proper dwelling.

Music in Nottingham Friday, September 10, 2010
Fans of every kind of music can find recordings and performances of their favourite style in the city of Nottingham. There are record shops and venues devoted to traditional folk songs, vocal and choir music, chamber music and classical music, and much more. In recent decades, however, a thriving local music scene has nurtured local bands in modern rock and roll, pop, R&B and hip-hop music, and many sub-genres from punk to Goth to industrial.
A good barometer of the local scene is the website and magazine run by LeftLion, self-proclaimed reviewers and promoters of Nottingham Culture. The folks at LeftLion also put on two band showcases every month, and sometimes bigger shows like the 2006 Drop In The Ocean show which raised money for Southeast Asia, as well as providing up-to-date events calendars for all of the local bands and venues:
The largest performing spaces for big touring acts are the Nottingham Royal Concert Hall and the Nottingham Arena (a space which doubles as the National Ice Centre when not hosting concerts). Both can hold thousands of people, and have been the site of some of the biggest shows in the Nottinghamshire region.
For local music, though, Rock City and its sisters are the backbone of the Nottingham music scene. Rock City has hosted many big names from outside the city, and almost all of the best local bands as well, either in the main club or one of its smaller sister clubs, The Rescue Rooms, The Social, and Stealth.
Rock City, founded in 1982, has a large (and recently refurbished) Main Room with an elevated stage, bars at the sides and a big balcony at the back, which has been the venue of choice for a huge number of Nottingham performers. Two smaller rooms downstairs are called The Rig and The Basement. The Rig is mainly an area for socializing, but The Basement has a small stage and seats, with a great little sound system. In the last year, the club has hosted performers such as Simple Minds, Staind, Pitchshifter, Less Than Jake, Killing Joke, Towers Of London, Panic! At the Disco, Sisters of Mercy, Jason Mraz, Echo and the Bunnymen, Deftones, Lost Prophets, and, of course, a host of unsigned hopefuls and tribute bands.
Rock City's spin-off venue, The Rescue Rooms, is a bar, a nightclub, and a smaller stage for independent and alternative music covering a wide diversity of styles. Past performers include Soledad Brothers, Stereolab, Keane, The Zutons, and local acts like The Magic Heroes and Six by Seven.
Next to The Rescue Rooms is the newer club Stealth, which focuses on the darker side of modern music. DJ and club nights, and sometimes live acts, touch on nihilistic, futuristic electro clash, punk/funk and grinding garage rock.
A lighter sound can be found at The Social, where the music played in the upstairs bar tends toward nostalgic, melodramatic, folk-flavored independent bands.
Outside of the Rock City orbit are the independent Junktion 7 in Canning Circus, catering to the university crowd with comfortable seating and straight-ahead rock music. It has held performances by Arctic Monkeys, LA Guns, Mike Peters, and many more.
The Old Angel in Hockley Village is another venerable club, this one tilted more towards the metal and hardcore sounds, with some of the bands crossing over towards emo and industrial.
For pure dance music -- modern techno, drum 'n' bass, hip-hop, breaks 'n' beats, and so on -- the underground Bomb in Bridlesmith Gate is a dark maze of overwhelming sounds and movement.
In the 1970s, the biggest venue in the city was the Nottingham Boat Club, which started hosting live jazz music in 1962 to raise funds for the boating club. The musical performances quickly became popular and the Boat Club soon added blues, soul, and rock music as well. Jimi Hendrix, Curtis Mayfield, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, the Sex Pistols, Rod Stewart, Def Leppard, Gary Moore, Black Sabbath and many more have played gigs in this tiny 250-capacity venue alongside the River Trent.
Other bars and lounges in Nottingham, some with music and some without, include The Palais, Ohm, Ocean, Bar None, Lizard Lounge, The Cooke Club, Daniel's Hall, The Square, and Muse.
Bands and artists who have emerged from Nottinghamshire include Ten Years After ("Love Like A Man"), Stereo Mcs ("Elevate my Mind", "Connected", "Step It Up", "Creation", "Ground Level") , The Magic Heroes, Amusement Parks on Fire, Bent ("Invisible Pedestrian"), Computerman, Earth The Californian Love Dream, Punish the Atom, Confetti, Dead Fingers Talk, Fat Tulips, Paper Lace ("Billy Don't Be A Hero"), Pitchshifter, Seachange, Six by Seven, Katty Heath, Little Barrie, Love Ends Disaster, Whycliffe, MC Pitman, Tindersticks, Twelve, Bloc Party, Reef, Iron Monkey, and Outdaville.
Since 2003, the Sandfield Theatre near Derby Road has hosted a week long "Bands in the Sand" battle-of-the-bands talent contest each winter for young rock bands with members between the ages of 11 and 19.

Known as the "Queen of the Midlands", Nottingham is located in the East Midlands of England and is a popular tourist destination, particularly for its connections to Robin Hood. Visiting Nottingham there is much to see, both across the city and within the county.
Of all the attractions to see in Nottingham, Sherwood Forest is one of the most popular attracting thousands of fans of the legendary Robin Hood every year. Located about twenty miles north, Sherwood Forest Country Park is easily accessible on a trip to Nottingham thanks to numerous public transport links and excellent road links along the A614.
Once in Sherwood Forest, it is worth checking into the visitor's centre. There you will be able to get directions to and a little history about the 'Major Oak', the tree which according to legend and local belief, Robin Hood used to hide from his enemies.
For the major Robin Hood fans, a trip to Nottingham is not complete without visiting Nottingham's most popular attraction, the 'Tales of Robin Hood.' Expect to step back in time to dark, medieval Britain and experience the life of one of Britain's bravest outlaws.
Daytime tours and even medieval night-time banquets are a popular feature, as is archery, history quizzes and fantasy games and workshops.
Only two minutes from Nottingham's most popular attraction lies another of the city's popular sightseeing destinations, Nottingham Castle. Technically no longer a castle, Nottingham Castle is a beautiful seventeenth century mansion which has been built on the site of the original medieval castle.
