The latest good vibes/ success headlines from the Nottingham music scene (that we know of), please drop us a line if we’ve missed anything significant (our definition of significant is something of national relevance) – nusic@leftlion.co.uk.
LIAM BAILEY got some National airwave loving thanks to Zane Lowe on Radio 1, as he made “Villan (feat. A$AP Ferg)” his Next Hype.

INDIANA invited fellow Notts duo SHELTER POINT on her entire UK National tour.
SAINT RAYMOND has been booked to play a headline Rock City show next year – if he sells this out, he will be one of only three Notts artists to ever do so!
SLEAFORD MODS will be featuring on the next Prodigy album. We can’t wait to see what they come up with.
Notts got its fifth letter in the NME in three years, thanks to Jared from LeftLion, who bigged up SLEAFORD MODS, JAKE BUGG, INDIANA, RONIKA, AMBER RUN, NATALIE DUNCAN, & LIAM BAILEY, oh, and the Hockley Hustle got a cheeky mention too.
SHELTER POINT got even more National radio loving from Zane Lowe, as they were made his Next Hype!
INDIANA sold out her Rescue Rooms show and joined only four other artists in the venue’s history to do so!
