Early next year the Black Keys will be arriving in the UK and only playing in 4 locations, one of them being Nottingham and the Capital FM Arena. With Manchester and Edinburgh already sold out, if you want to catch Ohio’s finest rock duo, then get yourself some tickets sharpish before Nottingham sells out too. Also the same can be said if you looking to book some Nottingham accommodation book early and book clever if you are looking to stay in Nottingham for the Black Keys on 3^rd February 2012.

The Black Keys are an American band hailing from Akron, Ohio and comprise of 2 members; Patrick Carney and Dan Auerbach. They play music of blues rock/garage rock/indie rock genre and have released 7 albums to date, with their latest album El Camino being released early December to critical acclaim. There are very few successful bands around who comprise of just 2 members due to the multi-instrumental skills required of the performers and the limitations having 2 members puts on live performances. However the pair have worked hard and achieved much critical success. As of Autumn 2011 they had sold over 2 million record copies in just the USA.

As mentioned before, if you are planning to travel and stay in Nottingham to see the Black Keys then best book soon. For those who want something a little different to the usual hotel options, then why not try booking a Nottingham serviced apartment for your stay? With an apartment you get to enjoy a whole apartment as opposed to a single hotel room, usually at comparable prices. Nottingham has a good few serviced apartment providers to choose from so why not get in touch and see what’s on offer?

Anyone with functioning eyes and ears will have heard that it was the final of X Factor last weekend, and the artificially formed girl band Little Mix were crowned the heroic winners, singing their little hearts out all the way to victory. As with every year of its existence, Simon Cowell’s money-making juggernaut does not just stop in December after the shows finale and the almost 100% guaranteed Christmas No.1, but then for the early part of the following year all the final contestants take part in a UK-wide tour. And for 2012, Nottingham will experience the SYCO operated machine as the Tour arrives in the Captial FM Arena on Wednesday 29^th February 2012.

13 million people tuned in this year to watch the first ever girl group win X Factor as Little Mix sang their way to victory. 2011 was a vintage year for the X Factor with lots of fun, tears, controversy and entertainment on show. Names such as Craig Colton, Misha B, Janet Devlin and Frankie Cocozza are bound to go down in pop history and are sure to line the walls of future halls of fame. 2011 also marked a big change as it was the first without Simon Cowell as a judge. Also the ever-popular Geordie Cheryl Cole was not present. Instead they were replaced by a new super-line up consisting of the immovable object that is Louis Walsh, Cheshire’s favourite son Gary Barlow, Destiny’s Child’s lead performer Kelly Rowland and hip-hop queen and role-model Tulisa Contostavlos. And boy did they put on a show.

Come February, Little Mix and the whole X Factor extravaganza will be in Nottingham for 1 night only in the Capital FM Arena. Click here to see the exclusive Nottingham X Factor Tour youtube video!
