The Left Lion Nottingham blogger wrote about the 10 Nottingham characters he would like to interview. Extracts from this posting are below.
“1. Axeman: With the departure of Xylophone Man still hanging over us, this man is the reigning champ of local heroes, no question. I first met him in 1980, where he used to terrify teeny-Mods outside Pendulum Records in Viccy Market with tales of his Hells Angels chapter and what they got up to at the Sal on Friday nights
