A photo a day from the famous East Midlands city, its surroundings, and wherever the photographic journey takes me.

Have They Got A Clue?
I happen to be talking to a guy at work the other day who told me he was in a band, and would be playing at The Hop Pole in Chilwell on Saturday Night.
He said that they had played at Oxjam last week, and so would be making a return appearance.
Unfortunately I missed their set last Saturday night, so I said that I would pop down and see what they are like and perhaps take a few snaps of them in action.
The Cluedo Club are a covers band that perform good versions of classic rock songs. Amongst the ones I heard were Hendrix's 'Hey Joe', 'All or Nothing' by the Small Faces, and 'Sharp Dressed Man' by ZZ Top.
It was certainly strange seeing my coworker singing and playing bass, rather than him undertaking his usual duties.

Midnight Special
Popped down to see two friends of mine who play under the name of Midnight Special.
Joe usually plays the blues, while Emma does folk. They really work together well and have a great sound, mixing the two styles without hearing a join.
They were appearing at the Hop Pole, a real ale pub in Chilwell that holds lots of music nights. I've been to a few, but I think these guys are the most popular.
