Notts Family Events

This is where Notts Family comes to life. Our events bring together live music, independent culture, and curated spaces where you can explore the latest drops, meet the community, and be a part of the family!

From late-night music sessions to daytime market takeovers, these are the moments where clothing, culture, and city energy collide.


Live Music Nights

Our live music nights are built around atmosphere first. Expect DJs, live sets, and guest selectors across carefully chosen Nottingham venues, creating spaces where you can shop, connect, and stay late.

Browse Notts Family pieces in person, see new releases first, and experience the brand in its natural setting, surrounded by culture and community.

Keep an eye on announcements for upcoming takeovers across the city.

Notts Family officially launches with a night bringing together live music, fashion, art, photography, videography and Nottingham’s independent creative community.

Built around the idea of ‘The Outlaws of Design’, Notts Family is a Nottingham-born clothing brand and creative project inspired by the city, its heritage, music, people and culture.

What started four years ago as documenting Nottingham through photography and videography has grown into a clothing label and creative platform.

Each drop takes inspiration from the iconography, streets, architecture, venues, characters and scenes that shape Nottingham’s evolving creative landscape.

But Notts Family is about more than clothing.

It’s about collaboration. It’s about working with and spotlighting local artists, musicians, designers, photographers and creatives, bringing different parts of Nottingham’s culture together and giving them a platform.

And on Saturday 17 October, we’re bringing all of that to life.

LIVE MUSIC & DJs

DUSTY 4 TRACK

Nottingham duo Dusty 4 Track bring together Will Jeffery and Benjamin James, creating their own distinctive take on alternative blues and folk.

Built around storytelling, bluesy riffs, soulful musicianship and a sound made for a live room, the duo have spent years gigging across Nottingham.

Their debut album How Did I Get Here? recently celebrated its vinyl release with a packed-out show at Rough Trade Nottingham.

LeftLion editor Sophie Gargett described Will Jeffery’s vocals as:

“whiskey-and-honey soaked”

The band have been compared to Tom Waits, C.W. Stoneking and J.J. Cale, with their songs creating what LeftLion described as “arcane cinematic narratives”.

From Metronome and Stay to the rip-roaring Get Down, Dusty 4 Track bring grit, character and soul to the stage.

We’re incredibly excited to have them playing for the Family.

LOUD PLANET RECORDS

LVNDLXRD | JIMMY ROCKET | VANDAL SAVAGE

Representing another side of Nottingham’s music scene is Loud Planet Records, an independent Nottingham collective rooted in hip-hop and 140-influenced sounds.

Producer LVNDLXRD has formed a long-running creative partnership with rapper and MC Jimmy Rocket, with the pair releasing music together since at least 2020.

Jimmy Rocket is a Nottingham rapper, MC and DJ whose work crosses hip-hop, rap and club music, while Vandal Savage is a Nottingham MC known for his direct lyricism and underground hip-hop output.

Together with LVNDLXRD, expect beats, bars and bass from three artists firmly rooted in Nottingham’s underground.

NOBODY

One of the night’s more mysterious acts.

Nobody has been working with Notts Family behind the scenes, providing unreleased music as the soundtrack to the brand’s videography and creative content.

A Nottingham-born producer with bass music in his veins, expect serious energy, electronic rhythms and sounds drawing on 140, dubstep and jungle influences.

This is a rare chance to hear some of the music that has helped shape the sound of Notts Family, brought out of the studio and into a live setting.

Heavy. Energetic. Built to hook you in.

Nobody is definitely not anybody.


SJBRAVO

We’re blessed with a DJ set from one of Nottingham’s finest musicians.

SJBravo is a producer, DJ and musician who’ll be guiding us through the night with the sounds of French house and beyond.

Expect everything from Justice and Daft Punk to plenty of unexpected turns along the way.

Fresh from smashing a set at Rough Trade Nottingham, and one of the driving forces behind New Currents Festival, SJBravo is firmly embedded in Nottingham’s independent music scene.

A musician, producer and selector with serious energy, he’s a perfect addition to the Family.

THE NOTTS FAMILY POP-UP SHOP

The launch isn’t just about what’s happening on stage.

The clothes are a huge part of the night too.

The full Notts Family collection is available to explore online now, so you can browse the designs, find your favourites and get to know the collection before the launch.

www.nottsfamily.com

On the night, Laceworks will become a Notts Family pop-up shop and creative space, with a selection of garments available to see up close, try on and purchase.

As an independent project, we won’t be bringing huge quantities of stock with us.

There will be limited garments available to buy and take home on the night, but don’t worry if the design, colour or size you want isn’t there.

You’ll be able to order anything from the full Notts Family collection at the event.

The garments bring together the photography, design and Nottingham references that have shaped the project from the beginning.

Expect pieces influenced by the city’s iconography, architecture, streets, venues, characters, heritage and creative culture, all reworked through the distinctive Notts Family style.

So have a browse before you arrive, pick out your favourites and come and see Notts Family in the real world.


PROJECTIONS, LIGHTING & VIDEOGRAPHY

Notts Family began with a camera, so the visual side of the project is a major part of the launch.

Throughout the night, projections, lighting, photography and videography will transform Laceworks, creating a constantly changing visual backdrop to the music, performances and clothing.

Expect imagery captured across Nottingham, original Notts Family films and visuals projected throughout the venue.

Four years of documenting the city, brought into one space.

Music and moving image have always gone hand in hand for Notts Family, with local artists providing the soundtrack to films and content created for the project.

Nobody’s unreleased productions are one example of that collaboration, and the launch brings those worlds together in the same room.

The night itself will also be captured through photography and videography, adding another chapter to the archive of Nottingham’s people, places and culture that started Notts Family in the first place.

Music. Moving image. Clothing. Photography. Live performance.

All under one roof.


LACEWORKS

The launch takes place at Laceworks, part of ARC Space in Nottingham.

Set within a restored former lace factory, the independent bar and venue champions the city’s creative community through live music, open mic nights, comedy, DJs and other events.

It feels like the right home for a night dedicated to Nottingham’s independent creative scene.


SPONSORED BY DROPWORKS RUM

The launch is proudly sponsored by Nottinghamshire’s own DropWorks Rum, bringing another home-grown independent brand into the Notts Family.

Based on the historic Welbeck Estate on the edge of Sherwood Forest, DropWorks creates modern British rum entirely from scratch at what it describes as Europe’s largest rum distillery.

Founded with a mission to challenge traditional ideas about rum, DropWorks launched in 2023 and has developed a range including Clear Drop, Dark Drop, Barrel Drop, Funk Drop and Spice Drop.

It’s a fitting partnership:

Two Nottinghamshire-born independents doing things differently and celebrating creativity.


JOIN THE FAMILY

With live performances, DJ sets, the Notts Family pop-up shop, projections, lighting, photography and videography, the launch brings together everything that has shaped Notts Family so far.

It’s a celebration of Nottingham creativity in all its forms, bringing musicians, producers, designers, artists, photographers and the wider creative community together under one roof.

Browse the collection.
Come for the music.
Meet the people behind it.
