Hi, I'm Laura and I am the 2007 Blast reporter for Nottingham.Ìý

Scarily for you, I may be responsible for how you spend your summer!Ìý

I promise to find out the best of the Nottingham arts scene this year - from local bands for all you groupies to art exhibitions for the culture vultures.ÌýBasically, if it's happening in Nottingham I will find a way to get myself there.

Make sure to follow my summer of fun.

A little bit about myself…

I'm 25 and, having lived in Nottingham all my life, I am a true Nottingham girl.ÌýWith this in mind I would like to think that I have a bit of 'insider' knowledge about what's going on behind the scenes.

I see it as my mission to make sure that you get out there and see just how much Nottingham and Nottinghamshire has to offer!Ìý

Ready for action

I have just finished an amazing three years at Nottingham Trent University studying Fashion Marketing, so I hope to cover a little bit of the Nottingham fashion scene while I have the opportunity.

Personally, I love the Nottingham music and bar scene.ÌýThere is an amazing atmosphere here, and everyone is really friendly. Stop me if you see me and ask me what's going on.

Okay, now to my dislikes. I feel that hate is a bit too strong. I don't think I hate anything, apart from maybe mayo on sandwiches. There's no need for it!

I will give anything a go because if you don't try something then you can't have an opinion on it can you?ÌýI guarantee I will be giving you my opinion on the arts in Notts this summer… because I will be trying them all!

I need your feature ideas

I hope I will help you to have one of the best summers of your life. I am completely open to ideas on what needs to be covered in Nottinghamshire so please contact me using the form below.
