Unfortunately, due to the dreadful weather we didn't visit as many venues as we would have liked but the ones we did visit we thoroughly enjoyed; the artists were all highly entertaining. Look forward to doing it again.

First time attending Hockley Hustle and I had a blast, would definitely go again! The atmosphere and vibe was really fun, hearing all the music coming from each venue, seeing street performances and decorations gave it such a nice feel and camaraderie. We saw Dusty 4 Track at The Carousel and they were amazing! I don't know if I just didn't read the information beforehand or it isn't well documented but we didn't know where to pick up wristbands, and then were told the cutoff time for picking up wristbands was 9pm, which I didn't know. Some venues carry on performances until the early hours of the morning, so maybe a 10-11pm cutoff would be better, but I understand if not. All in all, I'd definitely go to Hockley Hustle again and recommend it to anyone, a true Nottingham staple of music, culture and our great city and people!

Eleanor McGregor was brilliant, vulnerable, raw and pitch perfect.
