<\/p>\n
GIG ONE<\/strong><\/p>\n In association with those maniacs at I\u2019m Not From London<\/a>, Under the Tree<\/a><\/strong> returns to the Malt Cross <\/strong>this Thursday<\/strong>. It\u2019s pretty much the weekend so treat yourself.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n LEAH SINEAD<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n AARON SMITH<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n ROBYN HUGHES-JONES<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n 94 GUNSHIPS<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n Alt-Pop duo Molly & Jack<\/strong> from Lincoln complete the lineup.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n PRICE: FREE <\/p>\n GIG TWO<\/strong><\/p>\n A PLASTIC ROSE<\/strong> <\/a>are hosting a party this Thursday<\/strong> and you’re all invited! Hailing from Belfast, the band have relocated to Robin Hood land and are taking over Nottingham’s most unique venue JT Soar <\/strong>to celebrate.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The band have already notched up several plays on a little station called Radio 1 with their single ‘Kids Don’t Behave Like This’<\/em> . The\u00a0choruses are big, the vocals are fragile and the whole package is epic –\u00a0Angsty Pop-Rock that’s alight with Post-Grunge touches. They recently wrote a letter to the whole of Nottingham promising they’re not shite (which you can read here<\/a><\/strong>) and you know what? I think they’re telling the truth.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n PRICE: \u00a35 (BYOB) <\/p>\n GIG THREE<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s CARNIVAAAL! The Red Bull Music Academy<\/strong> <\/a>Carnival returns to Nottingham this weekend with two whole days of fun & frivolity that’s completely free.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Taking place over Saturday \u00a0& Sunday, The Forest Recreation Ground will be transformed by culinary delights, colourful costumes and cheering crowds as the Nottingham Caribbean Carnival takes over. As always, there will be a whole host of live music throughout the weekend including soca, samba and reggae music as well as some epic sets courtesy of our comrades at THE ELEMENTZ<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n The event is a fantastic celebration of Nottingham’s thriving creative scene, particularly the Red Bull Music Academy shizzle going down on Saturday arvo and eve. There will be stalls and sets from Rubberdub & Mimm <\/strong>as well as\u00a0city\u2019s leading young designers and artists from\u00a0Creative Culture<\/a><\/strong> and Notts Property. <\/strong>This will all be taking place alongside huge media coverage & hugh headliners in the form of Ms Dynamite<\/strong> and Marcia Griffiths <\/strong>making it a mahossive event for Nottingham culture. Whilst we know that – as the focus is not necessarily on live, local music – this is not a typical ‘Nusic’ gig, \u00a0the caliber of the weekend as well as the light it will shine on the Notts creative scene makes it worthy of inclusion in the top three.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Why not get in the mood for the big weekend by listening to our latest Carnival themed Podcast<\/a><\/strong>?! And keep your eyes peeled for the full line-up out sometime on Monday (as is the podcast).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n PRICE: FREE <\/p>\n Yours in Love of New Music,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Maddie Hammond.X<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our selection of the three most delicious gigs & events from across the city.

LEAH SINEAD With one of the most beautifully enchanting…<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nWith one of the most beautifully enchanting vocals on the Notts Folk scene, LEAH SINEAD<\/a><\/strong> has well and truly established herself as one of our favourite Folk darlings. Taking influence from the greats of Joni Mitchell et al, Leah brings this bang up to date in a set sure to melt the hardest of hearts.<\/p>\n
\nSongsmith AARON SMITH<\/a><\/strong> is also on the bill. Bluesy acoustic folk meets intimate lyrics that is an irresistible prospect on a warm (well, hopefully) summers evening. Have a listen to personal favourite \u2018Just For You\u2019<\/em> if you need further persuasion, and keep an eye out for his debut ep out this autumn.<\/p>\n
\nBringing bucket loads of loveliness & an acoustic guitar, ROBYN HUGHES-JONES<\/a> <\/strong>is the next act to win our hearts. Her gorgeous vocals have a soulful edge that makes her all the more endearing – imagine a cross of Norah Jones<\/strong> and Gabrielle Aplin<\/strong> and you\u2019re getting warm.<\/p>\n
\nIs it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it\u2019s 94 GUNSHIPS<\/a><\/strong>, Nottingham\u2019s very own supergroup! With of the most well-known faces and voices packed into one group, it\u2019s no surprise that this group are gaining more and more attention by the day. With some of the gruffest, grittiest Blues on the Notts scene, do not deny yourself the pleasure of 94 GUNSHIPS<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
