We sit down with Andy Nicholson, original bassist of Arctic Monkeys, to talk about the band’s early days, Sheffield’s music scene, and the unexpected rise that changed everything. From burning demo CDs and DIY gigs to hip-hop influences and the legendary Uncle Rodney’s practice room, Andy opens up about his journey, creative roots, and what came after leaving the band.

We sit down with Lilly, a Sheffield-based music photographer who left her government job to pursue her creative passion full-time. She opens up about overcoming fear, freelancing struggles, ADHD, and the emotional highs and lows of working in the UK music scene. From shooting underground raves to capturing big-name artists, Lilly shares how she built her career from the lockdown years to shooting for major magazines — all while staying true to her moody, light-and-dark aesthetic.
