After a super hot week of both gigs and weather last week, and a massive 48 hours for Notts musicians, I think we need a chill out\u2026 Good job we have two days to recover, then there\u2019s an Acoustic night in an Eastwood pub, a Grime filled Jam at the Conference Centre<\/strong><\/a> and a charity band night at\u00a0Mansfield\u2019s Stag and Pheasant<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

TUESDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

Roots Acoustic<\/strong><\/a> are hosting one of their weekly nights at the Wellington Inn<\/strong><\/a> in Eastwood this Tuesday. The night brings a whole load of homegrown talent to your local pub, and it\u2019s never quite certain what you can\u00a0expect.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tuesday, you can catch <\/span>BEN MARK SMITH<\/b> who will be bringing a touch of acoustic Blues Rock. Roots regular<\/span> ANDREW PARR <\/b>will be showing you what he\u2019s got Acoustic styley. And finally, DEREK<\/strong>\u00a0will be performing. Yup, DEREK.<\/strong>.. We might not know a whole lot about these artists, but they\u2019re starting out like all the big stars did. You never know, Derek may just be the next Bugg. Maybe.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Wellington Inn, Eastwood
\n<\/b>Tuesday 26th July
\n<\/span>Doors: 8pm
\n<\/span>Tickets: Free<\/span><\/p>\n

THURSDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

Summer Jam\u2019 16<\/strong><\/a> is coming to Nottingham this Thursday, bringing some of the best Urban and Grime artists from across the UK (and more importantly Nottingham) for an awesome summer\u00a0festival. Headlining are Chipmunk<\/strong>, Section Boyz<\/strong> and Geko<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

GINO <\/b><\/a>(or Gi Na Na No, as you may know him) will be bringing his massive energy to the evening. With a couple million YouTube views hiding under his (vast variety of) hats and over 60,000 Twitter followers, Gino is making a name for himself in the world of Grime. We hear Gi Na Na No was shooting a new music video last week, but one thing\u2019s for sure, he\u2019ll be bringing the party all night at the Summer Jam.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of Nottingham\u2019s finest MC\u2019s, <\/span>MEZ <\/b><\/a>will be spitting some of the fiercest bars Hoodtown has to offer. Holding a lot of love from 1Xtra<\/strong> DJ Sian Anderson, tons of videos and sessions with SBTV<\/strong> and a Maida Vale session accompanied by a hip hop orchestra, if you haven\u2019t heard the sounds of <\/span>MEZ<\/b><\/a> already, then you\u2019re about to.<\/span><\/p>\n

DDOT<\/a>\u00a0<\/b>has collaborated with tons of Grime artists over the past few years, showcasing his talent across a whole load of awesome projects such as Flaming from his latest EP \u2018Dreams Money Can\u2019t Buy<\/em>.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Hip Hop duo <\/span>YOUNG T & BUGSEY<\/a>\u00a0<\/b>will be performing on Thursday. The pair have racked up over half a million views on their YouTube channel from songs such as ‘Glistening<\/i>\u2019 and\u00a0‘Don\u2019t Know’<\/em>. Last month they invited fans to come along to the filming of their video for new single \u2018No Mickey Mouse Ting<\/em>\u2019 and some dude called Stormzy<\/strong> turned up for the ride\u2026 I think that says it all.<\/p>\n

Finally, <\/span>JAMEELAH<\/b> will be playing. We can\u2019t find much on her, but what we have found is pretty epic. Last October she released a music video for her song \u2018No Sleep<\/em>\u2019 which involves some seriously awesome choreography from J plus her school mates and some even better sounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nottingham Conference Centre
\n<\/b>Thursday 28th July
\n<\/span>Doors: 5pm

FRIDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

Friday sees StagBandLive<\/strong><\/a> take place at the Stag and Pheasant<\/strong> over in Manny T. It sees four Notts acts take to the stage and it\u2019s all in aid of CLIC Sargent which supports children and young people with cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n

First up is <\/span>RICHARD JENKINS<\/b><\/a>.<\/a> Creating room silencing, heart warming sounds, the acoustic folk of RJ is further enhanced by his tight knit band. After the release of the gorgeous sounding \u2018Fading Soldier<\/em>\u2019 EP last year, we can\u2019t wait to hear some new tracks from him.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a great band name and even greater hair, <\/span>DOOHICKEY WIRE<\/b><\/a> are playing on Friday. Fronted by Pete Rabjohns, the band formed at Southwell Folk Festival a few years back. After it took Pete 8 years between writing his first and second song, he worked out it\u2019d take him around 100 years to write an album. Let\u2019s hope it comes quicker than that.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a busy few weeks for <\/span>SUPER FURNITURE<\/b><\/a>, from playing Rock City<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>for the FSN<\/a><\/strong> final to opening up Splendour<\/strong><\/a> festival with a killer set. The SF lads only formed as a four piece late last year but have gone on to do some pretty awesome stuff (^see above, duh). Be prepared for a solid headbang to their super tight, pop-infused Indie sound.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bringing their super catchy Indie Pop Rock are <\/span>FOR THE GIRL<\/b><\/a>. The five-piece all bring their own style to the amalgamation that is the FTG sound. They recently launched their brand new EP \u2018Shark Attack<\/em>\u2019 at the Bodega<\/strong><\/a>, which we hear featured some pretty intimidating sharks. You can hear their brand new single \u2018Earthquake<\/em>\u2019 on the latest NMP here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
