Faithful + Gould look back on Hot Property
As we speed through October we are getting ever closer to the biggest event of the year – Nottingham Hot Property (NHP). With this in mind, we sat down with Neil Walker from SNC-Lavalin’s Faithful+Gould business to find out a bit more about his involvement in Hot Property and his most memorable moment.
Neil said: “I’ve been involved with Nottingham Hot Property from its initial inception and during that time I have met many wonderful people and experienced some fantastic performances. There is a huge amount of work that goes into making the show happen and preparing the performers; and I am lucky enough to have been involved over many years.
“One of the stand out individuals from Hot Property was Colin Walker who was not only a trustee and responsible for helping bring the events together, but also integral to many great performances as a very talented drummer.
“Sadly, Colin passed away last year after a battle with cancer. Therefore, as a tribute to Colin, Tom Brogan, Jamie Denton, Austin Moore, Andy Clarkson, Tim Boxford and I performed ‘My Hero’ by the Foo Fighters at NHP 2017. It was an incredibly emotional moment for all of those involved and with a crowd of more than 500 people singing along, it made for a truly memorable moment and a fitting tribute to a great man.
“This year’s event theme is ‘Nottstock’, as a festival goer myself I am keen to see how it will work out as it’s going to be a little different to previous years. I’ve been involved with lots of different themes and all of them have been successful and had something a little different. However, I think this year could well be the best one yet.”
