GIG ONE<\/strong>
\n
\nThis year\u2019s Dot to Dot Festival<\/a><\/strong> line up is a vibrant showcase of how buzzing things are in Notts right now. In 2008 only two local acts were on the bill. In 2013, the stages are brimming with homegrown talent with more Notts acts than ever before having been invited to play not just Nottingham but also across all three D2D cities. Here is run-down of some of the local artists to look out for on Sunday May 26th<\/strong> and where to find them.

Folk favourites FEROCIOUS DOG<\/a> <\/strong>close the stage at 8 with their twisted Folk complete with a fiddle.
