a brief history

hen you’re a young person growing up in Nottingham then you either lack a developed sense of musical taste or you spend a lot of time at Rock City. These days most cities have a decent-sized club and live music venue (usually some sort of corporate and sydicated ‘academy’ affair) but it’s not always been like that and there is something about ‘City’ that singles it out from the rest. Maybe it’s the fact that it remains staunchly independent? Maybe it’s because it consistently brings in great live acts? Maybe it’s because you always hear great new tunes at its club nights? Or maybe it’s a mix of all these factors and more… Rock City is one of the biggest names on the UK club and live music circuit and has been since it first opened its doors three decades ago. To put its longevity into perspective the venue has been alive for longer than either Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain or Jimi Hendrix managed. It’s been open for more than twice as long as it took Bill Gates to go from being a college geek to the richest man in the world. It’s more than four times as long as it took Axl Rose to make Chinese Democracy! On Thursday 11 December 1980, the day Rock City first opened its doors, Abba were at number one with Super Trouper, John Lennon had just been shot, The Empire Strikes Back was still on its initial cinema run, Margaret Thatcher was just a year into her reign as Prime Minister and a packet of 20 cigarettes cost less than 40p! So how did it all start? Well, before it was called Rock City, there was a venue on the same premises called The Heart of the Midlands. It was the kind of place that put on ‘variety acts’ and comedians who told mother-in-law jokes, to punters with chicken-in-a-basket meals. Eventually the building was taken over by local bookmaker George Akins (senior) and Sammy Jackson (who ran a club called the Retford Porterhouse) and turned into a full-on rock palace. Sammy had already booked the likes of AC/DC, Motorhead and The Clash at his smaller venue and fancied moving up in the world. George, ever eager to break into new markets, saw the opportunity and bankrolled it. The first band scheduled to play at the venue were Iron Maiden, who were on their way to becoming the biggest metal act on the planet. Sadly the gig had to be postponed as the electrics were not finished. So instead

The Undertones, led by Feargal Sharkey, stepped up and finished the first ever Rock City gig with a rendition of Teenage Kicks – officially the best song ever according to a certain Mr John Peel (RIP). During the 1980s the place became a haven for music-lovers from Nottingham and beyond. It would be rammed out with new-romantics one night as people flocked to see Duran Duran, The Smiths or The Human League then hip-hop heads would descend upon the place another night to see the likes of Afrika Bambaataa, LL Cool J and Public Enemy. But the place always kept its balls-out rock credentials too and the likes of The Ramones, Faith No More, Guns and Roses, REM and The Pixies played some of their first UK gigs here. Like all good venues it moved with the times and the nineties saw appearances from grunge and punk royalty like Nirvana, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Rage Against The Machine, Janes Addiction, Sonic Youth, Pearl Jam, Hole, Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day, Foo Fighters and The Offspring. Then just as Brit-pop kicked off the likes of Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Ian Brown, Supergrass, Ash, Black Grape, Catatonia, Super Furry Animals and The Charlatans used it as a regular pit stop too. Since the turn of the millennium things have become even more eclectic. During one five day period in late October 2002 DJ Shadow, Death in Vegas, Doves, the Coral, Queens of the Stone Age, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Libertines, The Vines, The Streets and Blackalicious all played back to back. On some nights you might walk in and see Thin Lizzy, Motorhead or the Rollins Band, but on others you catch The Flaming Lips or Lee Scratch Perry, Basement Jaxx or Scissor Sisters. Basically Rock City is all things to all people. There’s never really been a golden era, because it’s continued to evolve all the way through the years – keeping in touch with new music trends as they happen – while also inviting old friends back to play every now and then. I’m no longer a teenager, but I still feel like one every time I walk through those hallowed front doors on Talbot Street. Here’s to another 30 years of great nights out in Nottingham.

what the

musicians “I’ve played here quite a few times over the last twenty years. To be honest my memories of Rock City are a bit vague as I’m usually off my face at gigs, but I know the crowd here are always good.” Shaun Ryder

“We always

had a bit of an afﬁnity with Rock City before we’d ever been there because we were always reading about it in Kerrang! Magazine when we were kids. Ash and Rock City have a healthy respect for each other – I can’t wait to get back there!”

“Rock City is great! It’s a dirty stinking venue. What can you say? I love it! It would be great to go back and do a live sweaty gig in that place.” Liam Howlett, The Prodigy

“Rock City is dope! I been to play Nottingham a lot of times and it means something to me because I think Robin Hood is the greatest story ever told.” Ice T

Rick McMurray, Ash “Out of all the gigs I’ve ever done with The Pogues, Rock City is one of the best venues to play in the country. The audience and atmosphere are always fantastic.” Spider Stacy, The Pogues

“Rock City has a great friendly crowd. I enjoyed the gig I played here. I’ll come back again!” Ziggy Marley “This place is like part of my make-up really. I’ve been playing here since I was in my twenties and it’s one of those places you always look forward to coming to and playing in front of a crowd who are always up for it.” Tim Burgess, The Charlatans

“Rock City is a great British music institution. I remember really loving the place from the ﬁrst moment I walked in. We’ve always done well here and it’s the kind of place that our fans like too. Yes it’s a scumhole, probably less of a scumhole than it used to be now as the sticky carpets have been replaced by wipe clean surfaces, but everybody who is anybody has played here and the place has a great history.” Justin Sullivan, New Model Army

“The ﬁrst time we played Rock City was on our ﬁrst UK tour. I remember it being packed and we were confused as to why because we’d never been to the UK before. The history of the place is awesome and to have been on the same stage as people like David Bowie and Mike Patton is a real honour.”

“Rock City is my favourite gig ever. There’s something about this place that is just amazing to play. It’s like Mecca for me!” Mark Richardson, Skunk Anansie

The audiences “I love playing here. stic and sia thu en so s are alway a lot of be to m there always see ls.” nice gir Tim Booth, James

“We were wondering what we were going to put in the set for Rock City back in 1987 and we decided to play this jam we made for the ﬁrst time. We decided to play it ﬁrst, because we knew the crowd were gonna be hype regardless, so you know you can’t lose. The name of the song was Bring The Noise and the Nottingham crowd went bonkers. We was like, oh, shit!” Chuck D, Public Enemy

Alex Rosamilia, Gaslight Anthem

“Rock City is the hairiest venue in the UK in a good way. Genuinely everyone who’s works there makes it very easy for us. And The Bodega is but a few blocks away where we can get messy later. There’s a reason why we always end up here.” Winston Marshall, Mumford and Sons Rock City 30th Anniversary Magazine

The man behind the music George Akins has been running Rock City the last sixteen years. We put some questions to him about staying independent, his love of Rolf Harris and taking over the UK’s best known rock club at the age of nineteen… What’s your first memory of Rock City? I was about eight years old when my dad told me a story that people were making a big deal about Rock City not serving milk anymore. Even at that age I wondered why people would want to go out to a nightclub and drink milk. Maybe they were lining their stomachs or something? When did you take over the reigns? My first show as manager was The Ramones on 26th September 1994. I’d worked here on the bar and cloakroom for a year before to get a bit of money together. I was in Australia about halfway through my travels when I got a call from the old man asking me to come back and take over as all the previous management had left. So what’s it like to take over a massive music venue at the age of nineteen? It was hard at first. I had to do interviews with the licensing police and pass a fit and proper persons test. Being that young and running the place was a massive challenge. There certainly weren’t many nightclubs run by people aged nineteen back then. In fact there weren’t that many nightclubs in Nottingham at all. You had Ritzy (now Oceana), MGM (now Ocean), the Garage (now Lizard Lounge) and the Black Orchid (now Isis) and that was about it. But the mentality was different too – it’s changed a lot because of licensing laws. Back then at 11pm on a weekend you were guaranteed numbers through the door straight after the pubs closed. Now you have to work harder for it because people can just stay in the bar and drink instead So I guess you’ve grown up around a lot of rock stars. Is there anybody that you get star-struck by? Well, although my old man owned the place when I was a kid he always had a manager to run it, so meeting famous people wasn’t that regular an occurrence. But obviously in my late teens and early twenties I met quite a few. Funnily enough I really got the jitters when I met Rolf Harris. He definitely played one of the greatest gigs we’ve ever had here and is just an interesting character. I grew up seeing him on TV for all those years and the great songs he played resonated with me. But you still get that every now and then too. I met Nick Cave this year when we had Grinderman in for a gig and I just thought ‘what a legend!’ Who are the nicest, most humble rock stars you’ve met? Well Marcus Mumford (of Mumford and Sons) was a really nice and down to earth guy. Damon Albam was a really nice guy too – and Ozzy Osborne has always been lovely when we’ve put him on. I also get on really well with Huey from the Fun Lovin’ Criminals – he’s played here quite a few times and we always have a really good night out afterwards. But then you get the other side of people who have massive egos and can be a nightmare to work with.

associate us with rock music. We did have a very successful rock club night for many years, but that’s not all we’re about. We’ve been good at moving quickly when things are obviously changing in the music scene. The club nights have evolved regularly to match the climate and gig-wise we’ve always had promoters who are pro-active and don’t just hold a diary and wait for national promoters to come along and book shows in. We always try to keep the diary as full and successful as we can - and it seems to be working.

Want to name any of those? I suppose I shouldn’t but Yngwie Malmsteen was just an absolute dick to the staff and we wouldn’t ever want him back here! Michael Hutchence bought a lot of attitude with him too, although obviously I don’t want to speak too ill of the dead there.

What other venues do you benchmark Rock City against? Well, we’re one of the few big independents still around. You’ve got the Leadmill in Shefﬁeld and Glasgow Barrowlands. But there’s not that many others that have stayed independent and the rise of the Academies in major cities has made it a much more mainstream thing to go out and see live music. The academies are okay, but the end of the day they all look the same and there’s not a lot of heart and soul in going to or playing in a venue that’s part of a big chain.

So how do you manage to keep Rock City so fresh after all these years? Well, I think one of the keys to our success is that we’ve never allowed ourselves to get stuck in a rut. From the name alone people always

What have been your personal favourite Rock City shows? Well, I’ve already mentioned Rolf Harris and that’s at the top of the list. I still can’t believe how many people we had crowdsurﬁng at it - you’d expect it for Pantera or Slipknot, but not that gig. Other favourites include

Rock City 30th Anniversary Magazine

Queens of the Stone Age on their Songs for the Deaf Tour and the ﬁrst Ryan Adams gig. Adams forgot many of his lyrics during the set, yet still played brilliantly! Faith No More have played here loads, but early on they played a gig here on a club night in the middle of the biggest crowd they’d seen up to that point. It was a major turning point for them as a band and they credited ‘the people of Nottingham’ on one of their albums for it afterwards. The 30th Anniversary celebrations are shaping up well… Yeah, it’s really nice to get some of our old friends back here. Madness are a massive coup as they obviously ﬁll big park gigs these days. I’m also really happy at getting Fatboy Slim and Ian Brown in too. They’re all huge acts who play gigs at much bigger venues, but they just appreciate our vibe and enjoy playing here. What’s your favourite spot in Rock City for watching the bands from? When I was younger I just wanted to be jumping around in the middle of

the crowd. But these days I’ve got a little area on the balcony which only I, guests of the bands and a few others have access to. What bands have you never managed to get into Rock City that you’d like to? There’s not many. We’ve had Iron Maiden a few times and we’ve had Bruce Dickinson in here solo too, but we’ve never had Iron Maiden with Bruce on vocals. Every time an anniversary comes up they’re the ﬁrst band I put a call into to try and see if they’ll do it. It hasn’t happened as yet, but hopefully one day it will. I don’t think we’ve ever had The Strokes here either. We’ve had them at The Social when they were tiny, but we’ve not had them in here as yet. It would be nice to sort that out. Where do you see Rock City in another ten years time? Hopefully doing similarly good things as an independent. Our club nights are really strong again at the moment, really connecting with people and I hope that can carry on for as long as I’m here and beyond.

Tales from the dressing room... Axl Rose In 1987, a world before Chinese Democracy and band-sacking, Guns and Roses played Rock City on their first European tour. Axl, ever the exhibitionist, arrived alone at the front doors dressed in only a bath towel – for reasons we’re still not entirely clear on. Receptionist Christine had dealt with various nutters over the years and refused him entry. A good while passed before he came back clutching his security pass. Bruce Dickinson The Iron Maiden frontman is a part-time airline pilot and liked to fly to Nottingham himself. Rock City sent out their manager to meet him at the airport and he duly waited in the control tower. Bruce was on the microphone saying “I can see the airport, but there are not many lights.” He eventually landed and found his landing really bumpy. It took a while for all parties to realise he’d landed at a different airport (in Langar) two miles south and was the first person to land there since World War II. Courtney Love Thirteen months after Kurt’s death, Courtney Love’s band Hole played Rock City. Towards the end of the set a fuse blew in one of the speakers and all the lights and the PA went out. When it was finally sorted an increasingly angry Courtney refused to come back on and the crowd were eventually sent home. Afterwards a member of Rock City staff reported her as “not being shy to undress in front of crew backstage” with a distinct look of horror, rather than pleasure, in his eyes. Damon Albam The first Blur gig after Beetlebum got to number one was at Rock City. But rather than necking loads of champagne and complaining about a bad stomach, Damon was more worried about having ‘fluffy teeth’ and refused to go on before he had brushed. It’s not easy to buy a toothbrush in town at 9pm, but the backstage staff promptly obliged. The next day said brush was auctioned off for charity on local radio.

David Bowie Every rock star loves a bit of pampering, but David Bowie’s backstage set-up was probably the most impressive ever seen at Rock City. He was touring his 1997 Earthling LP and four couches and a Persian carpet were brought in to make the dressing room look respectable. His gig was worth it though.

crowdsurf. Unfortunately rather than being carried halfway into the crowd and then back to the stage, he made it all the way to the old food bar at the back. The band played on as Vedder, no longer sure of how to get back onstage, grabbed a bag of hotdog rolls and offered them to a crowd willing to part for bread.

Marilyn Manson Good old Marilyn arrived at the venue pleading of a throat infection, although everyone knew that he was just hungover from the MTV Music Awards the night before. He pulled out of the gig, irritating his Nottingham fanbase – who pretty much all refused to turn up to the rescheduled date four months later. One of the crew backstage told us how Marilyn didn’t like people to see him eating and so the staff had to put a cubicle up for him to eat his dinner inside.

Rage Against The Machine When ﬁrst booked, RATM were relatively unknown and scheduled for the basement on a regular club night. Between then and the gig, the bands proﬁle increased massively and attempts were made to move them upstairs. However the band always liked the sweaty intimate club atmosphere and refused. Hence came one of the most chaotic Rock City club nights ever as thousands of people tried to get into a room that only holds a couple of hundred.

Metallica The American rock phenomenons were booked to play an unbilled Monsters of Rock warm-up show at Rock City on the regular Friday club night. It would have been a nice surprise for the crowd, were it not for the fact that drummer Lars Ulrich drank everything in sight beforehand and thus the band had to pull out as he was far too wasted to actually appear.

REM The 1984 Nottingham show by Michael Stipe and co was broadcast on radio and voted one of the 100 greatest gigs of all-time by Q Magazine. During the gig Stipe’s heel came off and he asked the crowd if anyone had a spare size 9 ½ he could borrow. A member of the crowd duly obliged and they swapped shoes and the gig went on. If any of our readers have that shoe in their possession it’s worth a few bob these days.

Ozzy Osbourne Rock City appeared to have pulled off a major coup booking Ozzy for one of only three live appearances worldwide in 1988. Unfortunately Ozzy locked himself into a hotel room less than 500 yards up the road and refused to play – despite hours spent attempting to coax him out. Eventually the crowd were told to go home and in the minutes that followed the ﬁrst and only real Rock City riot ensued. No-one got seriously hurt, but a speaker landing on the chief of police made interesting fodder for the local paper the next day. Ozzy made amends a few years later by doing an unbilled gig on the Friday rock night. Pearl Jam It was just a few songs into the February 1992 night when Eddie Vedder decided to

Robbie Williams Just after leaving Take That and before he released Angels Mr Williams played an early solo gig at Rock City. Surprisingly the gig did not sell out, but those who were there got to see him perform much of it naked behind his guitar. Shane MacGowan Everyone knows Shane is partial to a drink and this made him miss his ﬁrst train to Nottingham, Eventually when he did arrive it took a tour manager shining a laser pen in his eyes trying to keep him awake before the gig. When he eventually made it onstage he was so blind drunk that he sang several of their songs to the curtain rather than the crowd. Rock City 30th Anniversary Magazine

other dhp venues The Bodega First opened as The Social in November 1999 by Heavenly Records, this quickly became one of the best underground bars in Nottingham. It was originally intended to create the laid back vibes of the London-based Heavenly establishments, but with a less touristy crowd. The bar ran successfully for several years, before it was taken over by DHP Group in 2005 and brought into the Rock City family as a cool younger cousin to Rescue Rooms. Anton Lockwood, now overlord of the Rescue Rooms, was in charge of the booking here for several years and had a serious knack for catching bands just before they broke in a big way. The likes of The Strokes, Coldplay, The White Stripes, The Libertines, Klaxons, Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand and Scissor Sisters all played here just before they went supernova – on a stage where the acts are literally close enough for the audience to touch. More recently Mumford and Sons, The XX, MGMT and the Mystery Jets have continued this trend. The name of the bar was changed back to its ﬁrst incarnation The Bodega in 2009. It still serves great beer and offers funky party vibes all week round! The Bodega, 23 Pelham Street, Nottingham. NG1 2ED thebodegasocialclub.co.uk

The Rescue Rooms So if you already have the biggest dedicated live music venue in Nottingham, what do you do next? Start building the second biggest of course… First opened in 2003 as a more intimate and selective alternative to Rock City, the Rescue Rooms is a haven for indie and alternative music lovers in Nottingham and beyond. The venue consists of a bar with loads of old records to leaf through, two dedicated beer garden areas, a 450 capacity live room and the upstairs Red Room, which is ideal for DJ performances. The décor is subtle and relaxed, with bold murals on some of the walls and comfy seating all over the place. Bands who have passed through here include: Bloc Party, Candi Staton, Ellie Goulding, Foals , Friendly Fires, Glasvegas, Graham Coxon, Happy Mondays, Hot Chip, Jack Peñate, Jamie T, Kaiser Chiefs, Keane, La Roux, Quantic Soul Orchestra, Razorlight, The Futureheads, The Killers, The Kooks, The Libertines, Tinchy Stryder, Travis, We Are Scientists and many more.

Stealth Stealth was opened in May 2004 out of the remains of RKO sports bar and Envy nightclub. At the time Nottingham was missing out on a large dance venue and the venue soon tapped into that market by offering revellers a place to boogie until well after the sun came up. Over the last six years the venue has seen appearances from the likes of 2manydjs, Annie Mac, Autechre, Chase and Status, Death In Vegas, Dizzee Rascal, DJ Premier, Erol Alkan, Giles Peterson, Goldie, Grooverider, Hot Chip, Justice, Klaxons, Laurent Garnier, Lethal Bizzle, Mr Scruff, Sasha, Squarepusher, Timo Maas and Zed Bias. It’s capacity is 700 over two ﬂoors, although that goes up even more on weekends as the doors between Stealth and the Rescue Rooms are ﬂung open to it expand it all into one big superclub. Tech-heads will be blown away by the state of the art sound system and the upstairs DJ booth has more bright lights than the control room at East Midlands Airport.

Thekla Based in Bristol, the Thekla is a bar, club and live music venue onboard a ship moored in Bristol’s Mud Dock. Originally brought to Bristol as the Old Profanity Showboat, it was a late 1982 middle-of-the-night brainchild of novelist Ki Longfellow, the wife of Vivian Stanshall (Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band). The showboat was based on the idea of creating, owning and running a theatre on a sea-going ship and using it to showcase music and art. During the 1990s it was run as a rent-a-nightclub and Bristol-based artist Banksy was a regular, doing one of his infamous paintings (of a skeleton in a rowing boat) on the side of the vessel. Before its incarnation as a showboat, the Thekla (built in Germany in 1959 and powered by a U-boat engine left over from the Second World War), was used for more than twenty years to transport timber to and from various ports of the Baltic Sea. DHP Group purchased the Thekla in 2006 and artists such as Franz Ferdinand, The New York Dolls, Pete Doherty, Santigold, James Blunt, Crowded House, Duffy and numerous local bands from Bristol and Bath have played there since. In May 2009 the Thekla celebrated its 25th anniversary with a day and night long event featuring bands carefully selected to represent the best of what is currently happening on the diverse Bristol music scene.

Old School DJ Jonathan (aka Jonathan Woodliffe) spent almost a decade working behind the scenes at Rock City in the eighties. During this time he helped establish some of the club nights that still run today, as well as lending bands his shoelaces and buckets to be sick into… So how did you get roped into joining the Rock City crew? I used to DJ at a club called Camelot on Bridlesmith gate and Paul Mason, the then manager, used to come down to our club. He approached me with a view to DJing at as they were planning a major refit in the summer of 1982 and wanted to start a student night on Thursdays. They already had a successful Futurist night on Saturdays and I keenly accepted. The first Thursday night we had about 400 people in and gradually it built up over the next year to become a sell-out most weeks. You started the Rock City Friday nights off too, right? Yes, that came a little later. The original plan was to do a dance night playing a mixture of European electronic and American new releases, but after the first three months it was apparent this wasn’t going to work. So I asked Paul if we could change the night to a jazz, funk and soul night, which I wanted to build by word of mouth. Over the next three months the numbers increased week by week until eventually we had people travelling in from Birmingham, Sheffield, Leeds, Manchester and London. I would DJ upstairs in the main room and downstairs (Disco Two) Eric and Floyd played Jazz. My music policy was focused on new releases from America, I’d play what had come out that week for the first hour and then as soon as we’d got enough people in we’d put some of the current big tunes on. The response was a packed dancefloor and a fantastic atmosphere. Where did you get your tunes from at the time? I bought pretty much everything from Arcade records. They’d always know what we’d played on a Friday - as on Saturday mornings there would be a ton of people in the shop trying to buy certain tunes. The rate we broke records at was astounding! I was spending £100-200 a week in there at that time. What was the venue like back then in terms of kit? Rock City had a major refit in the summer of 1982 and had a purpose-built sound system installed across the dance floor. It sounded brilliant and you had a great view all around the club. There was also an amazing lighting rig and a giant laser, which was something a lot of people had never seen before, along with two giant video screens. I think a lot of bands held the venue in very high esteem because on a sold out gig the atmosphere was electric! You worked with a certain Mr Dale Winton back then too? Yeah, I knew Dale really well. He did the dance show on Radio Trent back then and used to play at Rock City. Like me he would buy records in Nottingham, but he also used to nip to London regularly too. To my knowledge he was the first person to play Herbie Hancock’s Rockit on the radio. The day after his show Arcade records had hundreds of calls asking for it, a week or so before they could get hold of any stock. So tell us about the Saturday all-day Rock City hip-hop jams that happened in the 1980’s. Well, bizarrely enough it started as a kids disco at the request of Trent FM. We were a bit dubious of the idea at first, but it was good publicity for the club and they advertised it like hell on the radio. So lots of kids of all ages came down, some with their parents and some without – and it was just soft drinks behind the bar. It worked reasonably well, but eventually the radio DJ’s lost interest in it and it seemed that the people there were less into pop music and more into the underground stuff. Trent FM eventually pulled out and we changed it into this Saturday afternoon session that revolved around hip-hop. There was never a licensed bar, so age was never a problem and lots of people who couldn’t get in on Friday nights came along to dance and listen. I don’t think that anyone who came along at the time realised that nearly thirty years later it would have become such a landmark event in their lives. There were some of the most amazing breakdancers you will ever see and a few now-famous people like Goldie used to come down too. Tell us about some of the best bands you saw in your time. Mark Spivey was brilliant at booking bands and he had the foresight to book acts like REM, Guns and Roses and The Cult before they went Supernova. But probably the best, most intense performances I ever saw at Rock City came from The Ramones, who we had the pleasure of putting on twice.

Rock City 30th Anniversary Magazine

There are loads of funny stories from the gigs too. I remember Joan Jett being sick in a bucket at the side of the stage just before she went on, I remember Morrissey having daffodils thrown at him from his adoring fans at the height of his fame with The Smiths. Stuart Adamson from Big Country borrowing a pair of shoelaces before their gig as his had snapped - I never did get them back! How does Rock City compare to other clubs you’ve worked in across the world? Still to this day I would say that it is the best club I’ve ever worked in – and I’ve worked in quite a few. House music pioneer Larry Heard came to do a gig with us once on a Chicago Trax tour and he has since cited that gig as being an important moment in his career. He said the gig made him realise what it must have felt like to be Michael Jackson by having 1700 people in Rock City on a Sunday afternoon singing along with him! I played in the Hacienda before it became a household name and I didn’t really rate the way it was set up by comparison. Back then their DJ booth was hidden in a room at the side of the stage and you just had a small slit to look out onto the danceﬂoor where you didn’t really feel part of the crowd. Whereas at Rock City it’s always been the opposite and as a DJ you feel part of the crowd and see how they react to what you’re playing.

New School James Busby is one of the founders of Detonate, a drum and bass night that takes over Rock City four times a year and turns the place into a heaving palace of beats, bleeps and breaks… What was the first gig you ever saw at Rock City? I can’t remember, to be honest – but the first dance gig I saw there would have been Metalheadz in 1996, with Goldie, Grooverider, Adam F and the like. I do remember practically living there all week when Radio 1 were there in 2002 What’s the best gig you’ve put on there? KRS-One completely blew me away. It was at the time when UK hip-hop was breaking through, and I was watching so many crews who did their sets in the same way. So when I got to see one of the true originals showing people how it was really done, it was unbelievable. The first Detonate session at Rock City took place in October 2003. Was it a risk stepping up to such a big venue? It was a massive risk! We were always looking to make the jump, but we were only going to do it at the right time. It was a big leap to go to a venue with a 2,000-plus capacity – we had to match our largest attendance figure at the time just to break even. It was a very nervous time, because we weren’t used to selling so many tickets in advance and had nothing to compare ticket sales with. We had done multi-genre events before, but this was on a higher level. And it wasn’t long before you took over Stealth and the Rescue Rooms too? Yeah, just a couple of years later we started doing all three for the Detonate all-day festivals. By that time we were selling out our Bank Holiday events, and the proximity of the venues made it tempting. We also wanted the freedom to put on more genres which the extra venues allowed. What’s your policy on what goes where at a Detonate festival? Do you automatically siphon the name acts towards the Rock City main stage, or are the rooms genre-specific? We’ve always had the drum and bass on the main stage, and we tend to keep the more electro stuff at Stealth. Dubstep as a genre is massive at the moment, so it needs its own venue. As for name acts, we put them where their act is best suited; for example, one year we had Grandmaster Flash in the basement at Rock City – we could have put him in a bigger venue, but the intimacy of the place made it perfect for him. How do your source your acts for Rock City gigs? The nature of dance music and the power of the internet means that there will always be acts that get so big so quickly, and you have to keep tabs on everything and make sure you place them accordingly months in advance. It’s a case of sitting back and trying to gauge what’s bubbling up and what people are really into at the moment. What are the biggest expenses? It’s always the artists first, obviously. Let’s have a look at one of the previous accounts… (rummages through papers) Detonate New Years Eve 2009… the artist spend was around £45, 000. So artists first, equipment hire next, and then promotion. What kind of riders are we talking about here? Are DJs less piss-takey than bands? When it comes to dance music you’re essentially booking one or a couple of people per act, as opposed to more in a band. The nature of the job also means that DJs are out the car, in the venue, onstage and out again with minimal fuss. You do get the odd mad one, though – KRS-One had a rider that went on for pages and pages, detailing everything right down to the room temperature. We actually got a phone call from his manager two weeks before the gig stating that he was on his way, which threw us in a panic. Then we were told he’d actually just got on the QE2, because he hates flying… So would you say being a dance promoter is an easier life than, say, someone who puts on bands? It may be easier in certain ways, but we put on far more acts and lots of them can be doing up to four gigs in a night, so there’s far more that can go wrong. We’ve had events on where I’ve known that six of the acts I’ve booked are stuck in the same traffic jam on the M1, which is very stressful. Artists not turning up is always the worst thing that can happen. At what point of the night on a Detonate festival do you stop worrying and start enjoying yourself? Usually about five o’clock in the morning, when the last acts have gone on. I usually stop stressing around then. On a regular Detonate festival night, you’ll have sixty

acts to deal with. It can be very demanding. Making sure those that are staying in town are where they need to be is pretty much always the last job of the night. Who’ve been the most awkward acts you’ve had to deal with? Rahzel was a bit of nightmare – although with US rappers, you often find it’s the tour manager who is the real problem. Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry in 2003 was awkward, but in a more mad way; my mate drove him on to the next gig in Manchester, and they had to make a stop-off at Asda where he spent hours picking up everything silver or reflective to stick on his outfit. Girls hair grips etc. So how does Rock City shape up as a dance venue? For dance music, you have to judge venues by their vibe; some places have it, some places don’t. For dance music – for any kind of music, really – Rock City definitely has it. The shape of the room is so well-contained; there’s nowhere where you feel too far away from the stage. The artists love playing there; the crowd is virtually on top of you, and the noise that comes back at you is unbelievable. The fact that there are only a few windows available a year to promote at Rock City makes it a very special night for us.

Festivals

As well as running Rock City and various other venues, DHP group also runs tours for bands and sometimes puts on awesome music festivals. Here is a taste of the latter… Splendour Festival Splendour is a festival run by DHP Group in association with Nottingham City Council. Seen as a natural successor to City In The Park, the first festival took place on 19-20 July 2008 and featured Kate Nash, Paulo Nutini, the Charlatans, Ocean Colour Scene, Lightspeed Champion, Rufus Wainwright, Duke Special and Liam Gerner. Other stages were supplied by LeftLion (who put on a variety of local acts including Captain Dangerous and the Petebox) and Just The Tonic Comedy Club. By 2009, it was decided to reign the festival back in as a one-day affair – but the main stage line-up was still bursting with acts including Madness, The Pogues, Fun Lovin’ Criminals, Imelda May, Kid British and The Rifles. Ash headed things up on a brand new second stage, LeftLion once again held it down in the courtyard with the likes of Yunioshi and Natalie Duncan and Funhouse took over the comedy with a stage headlined by Simon Bligh. By its third year Splendour had really found it’s feet and people waited in anticipation to see who the headliners would be. They weren’t disappointed either when, fresh from headline performances at Bestival and Glastonbury The Pet Shop Boys (above) came to town. Also on a line-up that had now grown to five stages were Calvin Harris, Noisettes, Athlete, OKGO, Talvin Singh, Terrorvision, Shed Seven, James Walsh (Starsailor) and Dog is Dead.

Dot to Dot Festival The Dot to Dot festival is a three-day annual event run by DHP promotions and now held in Nottingham, Manchester and Bristol. It started out as a fairly modest event in Nottingham in 2005 and the acts included Ladytron, Radio 4 and The Rakes. In 2006 it featured British Sea Power, The Mystery Jets and The Long Blondes. By 2007 it began to operate in Bristol, as well as Nottingham and featured The Cribs, New Young Pony Club, Kate Nash, Annuals, Erol Alkan, Kano and Blonde Redhead. In 2008, the festival operated a third location in Shoreditch, London, known as Hox to Dot. This leg catered for the more electronic extreme of the indie music spectrum, hosting acts such as Juiceboxxx and Cutting Pink With Knives. The Bristol and Nottingham venues, meanwhile, had the likes of Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, Dirty Pretty Things, Spiritualized and The Holloways on show.

Rock City 30th Anniversary Magazine

In 2009 the Nottingham and Bristol events went from strength to strength with the likes of Friendly Fires, Ladyhawke, Cage the Elephant, Patrick Wolf and Mumford & Sons and The xx. In 2010 a Manchester leg of the festival was announced and bands such as Mystery Jets, Los Campesinos!, Ellie Goulding, Beach House and Wild Beasts played at all three venues. City In The Park City In The Park was an annual event run by DHP that ﬁrst started in Wollaton Park, Nottingham in 1998 with a distinct Irish theme, as Shane MacGowan, The Saw Doctors and Mary Black all played. 1999 was the year it really got going though, with a packed crowd of 30,000 plus attending to see The Corrs, Jimmy Nail and Del Amitri. Acts who appeared at the festival in 2000 had a distinct pop edge with the likes of All Saints, Ronan Keating, Vengaboys and Precious all part of the line-up. By 2001 the festival had expanded to a three day event, but the outbreak of foot and mouth disease that year saw it moved to the Trent Embankment instead, as Wollaton Park was cordoned off. The party still went off undeterred though as Bryan Adams, James and Gabrielle all performed on the ‘pop’ day. Day 3 was branded as ‘The Longest Day’ and featured The Wonder Stuff, Neds Atomic Dustbin, Terrorvision and New Model Army. Day was titled ‘Extreme’ with Less Than Jake, Pitchshifter, The Ataris and The Voodoo Glow Skulls performing and loads of skate ramps set up for members of the public to test out their boarding skills. City in the Park ended after this, but the third day of the event provided the inspiration for a brand new Rock City outdoor event – Distortion. Distortion On 20 July 2002 DHP Group decided to stretch themselves and put on an all-day rock and punk festival called Distortion at Wollaton. This came on the back of the nearby Monsters of Rock festival at Donnington Park shutting up shop – it’s successor Download was still just a twinkle in the eyes of Live Nation executives at this time. The Distortion line-up, over two stages, included Capdown, Snuff, Spunge, Face To Face, Raging Speedhorn, The Levellers, Hundred Reasons, A, Rival Schools, The Wildhearts, Iggy Pop and headliners Green Day. Many punters remember the day for a pyrotechnic-heavy set from Billie Joe and co as they trotted through classic hits like Basketcase, When I Come Around and Minority. Or for an energetic and sweary performance from Mr Pop as he strutted and stomped around topless through hits like Passenger, Lust For Life, and Wild One. Or for a new record of crowdsurfers in Wollaton Park.
