Summary

Issue 56 of The Nut (Summer 2017) reflects on a successful but thought-provoking DERT 2017 in Kendal, hosted by Crook Morris, balancing praise for its friendly, small-town atmosphere with concerns about falling team numbers and category balance. Detailed results highlight Newcastle Kingsmen’s overall win, strong showings by Tower Ravens, Whip the Cat and Oakenyouth, and the continuing appeal of youth competitions.

Beyond DERT, the issue features a major article on The Land of Oak & Iron, promoting rapper dancing as cultural heritage, a lively North British tour report from Antwerp, an in-depth Tower Ravens profile, updates from the DERT Steering Group, and wide-ranging Rapparound news capturing a busy, reflective summer for the rapper community.
