LAST SONS
Last Sons are Nottingham’s own rapper, Duke01 and turntablist, Furious P.
“If the intensity of the Bomb Squad’s sonic walls of noise mixed with the futuristic bent of Cannibal Ox lyrics sounds appealing, investigate Chekhov’s Gun.” – Bandcamp Daily

“The politics are not playing around. And yet, given where we are right now… I kind of needed this (8/10)” – Spectrum Pulse

“The UK’s Last Sons, shred far-right fundamentalist logic over center-left production by NYC prog-rap stalwart Uncommon Nasa” – Tiny Mix Tapes

JOHN PAUL
Nottingham poet and lyricist, first started supplying vocals on various Sleaford Mods tracks before releasing his debut album NO FILTER, which saw him playing shows with Sleaford Mods, Steve Ignorant and headlining a sold out show at The 100 club.

DJs on the night, the brilliant UNPEELED vinyl only DJs playing a hefty mix of genres to suit everyone’s taste.

SONIA & TALY will finish the night off with tunes you can dance to, from punk to funk and lots in between.

Copies of The Story Continues can also be purchased online from Steve Ignorant’s web shop. Ignorant says of his new book:

It covers a 10 year period from 2010–2020. It’s down to earth and a great read about life off and on stage and everything in between with unseen photographs, gig listings and discography.
