Is it that time already? Head down our way this weekend, where you can catch all of these fantastic Nottingham bands and more. As usual, it's totally free entry, and all in support of local charities and artists. Kicking off the Saturday afternoon downstairs, a folk session from @ludditefolksession , one of three active folk groups that call the Billy home. Upstairs from 5-12pm, another stacked bill of local bands. We're particularly excited about Atota-So and Possum Kid, who'll both be releasing new music this weekend. Then on Sunday from 5-11pm, some of our favourite heavy Nottingham bands are taking over our usually quiet function room. Earplugs recommended. Like the look of these lot? See all of them and more, for free, this bank holiday weekend. @ludditefolksession @ilke_ta @connexionmansongs @possum_kids @grainmotherband @airportdadofficial @atotasoband @roguelimb @blindeyenotts @flinger_band @bigbiffa_notts @avoid.grindcore @lindow_moss 📸 Photo credits: @indiehorse - Grain Mother @maissnaps - Lindow Moss * @hyperopics have sadly had to drop out on Saturday due to illness, we're wishing Nick a speedy recovery!
