It's a return to the city for the band. Although originally from?London, vocalist Hannah Reid and guitarist Dan Rothman met in the Ancaster Hall of Residence at the?University of Nottingham?during their first year in 2009.
London?Grammar's music has been described as "a blend of ambient, ethereal and classical sounds" with melancholy guitar, soaring vocals and plaintive lyrics.

 Sat 27 November
Motorpoint Arena
Times like these require a band like Nottingham's own Sleaford Mods. Except, of course, there are no other bands like Sleaford Mods. They?re back with new album ?Spare Ribs? and a UK Tour performing in their hometown.
?Spare Ribs? is the sound of a band so sure of their own sonic terrain that they can now explore its outer regions. The album?s title, emerged from ?the idea human lives are always expendable to the elites? We?re in a constant state of being spare ribs.? Yet Sleaford Mods are an essential part of Britain?s musical anatomy
