Churchfitters…

The Churchfitters will be appearing at Hollingwood Hub (S43 2JP) in Staveley, near Chesterfield on Tuesday 24th March at 7.30 p.m.

"One of my favourite bands" Mike Harding (BBC Radio 2).

The Churchfitters are a folk band like no other. A double bass made out of a saucepan.

Heart-wrenching vocals accompanied by a musical saw.

Foot-stompingly fast fiddle meets funk-rock rhythms. And traditional tunes reinvigorated with mesmerising jazz sax. An evening in their company is an uplifting experience that sends everyone home happy.

The band is based in Brittany, and presents a fast-paced show full of fresh, original, song writing as well as rearranged songs and tunes. They are rooted in traditional folk music but enjoy a

crossover into the rhythms of rock, pop and jazz.

Outstanding vocals and an astonishing array of acoustic instruments - including flute, banjo, dulcimer, tin whistle, guitar, ukulele, electric hub-cap bass-bouzouki and a sackful of percussion - allow them to create their unmistakable sound.

Originally founded in 1978, the group has evolved in to today's current line-up: Rosie, with a voice reminiscent of Annie Lennox in full flow, is a one woman orchestra with a selection of wind, stringed and percussion instruments; Chris is a fiddle wizard and master of the musical saw, and Boris, part bassist, part mad inventor, brings his fantastic selection of homemade instruments, including recycled double bass, frying pan banjo and let’s not forget the

‘bing-bong’ machine made out of hack-saw blades!

Throw in some exquisite harmonies, original songs and a few jokes that create instant rapport and you’ve got a high energy show that often gets people dancing and always leaves audiences cheering.

Tickets cost £9 and are available online from the Chesterfield Canal Trust website or ring 01246 477569.

Nona's Coffee Shop will be open from 6.30 p.m. There is onsite parking.

PETS CORNER - 10 Amazing Dog Facts…

– According to tests dogs have a language capacity of around a hundred words. This is equal to about the vocabulary of a 2-3yr old human. Although the intelligence of a dog can be influenced by the tendencies of the breed and in tests border collies always seem to have the highest marks.

I thought this month we would do some good old amazing facts about your dogs that I have read over recent months.

– Again in a number of psychology and behaviour tests it has been proven that dogs do learn to lie and deceive. Again certain breeds seem to be better at it with Labradors apparently being the most elaborate deceivers.

– Not one I have tested yet but apparently dogs are sensitive to the earth’s magnetic field and like to align themselves on the north south magnetic access. So if you dog circles before doing his business maybe he’s just aligning himself!

– They are just not on their fingers they are on their noses!

– Dogs have great hearing for their ears are important to them. The 18 muscles help them raise, tilt and rotate their ears to pick up sound. They can also move each ear completely independently of the other. All adding to their ability to hear over four times the distance of humans.

It has been proven that dogs can be taught how to count and indeed how to do simple mathematical calculations beyond one lead plus one coat equals a walk!

– Just by stroking them you can lower your blood pressure by up to ten percent!

– It has now been proved that dogs can literally smell cancer in humans much earlier than other tests can easily diagnose. They are also used to help epileptics detect when they might be about to have a seizure and by diabetics to smell when insulin levels drop.

Finally just to let you know we are now getting very busy for Easter, May and even hotting up for the summer holidays so if you are thinking forward to that welcome warmer holiday break give us a call as soon as you can at Calagran Four Paws Hotel www.cfourpawshotel.co.uk

– They can also see on the yellow and blue scale. However, red and blue they will not be able to interpret in the same way as we do so if you are selecting toy yellow and blue are great colour to select!

– According to trials a man is three times more likely to get a date with a girl if he has a dog!

Run All Night We get another crime drama now with Liam Neeson ( ) heading the cast as hit-man Jimmy Conlon, more commonly known as The Gravedigger. Jimmy worked for the mob and was best friends with the boss, Sean Maguire ). ( Things take a bad turn when Jimmy’s son Michael gets marked for death by the mob and Jimmy must now go up against Sean to protect his son at all cost.

The Voices Something a bit different now with a dark comedy starring Ryan Reynolds ( ) as Jerry, a man who is mentally ill and fails to take his anti-psychotic medication. As he attempts to pursue an office crush he starts to hear voices, namely from his cat Mr Whiskers who tells him to become a serial killer and his dog who argues against the cat.

As Jerry sporadically starts to take his medication again and he has moments of lucidity, he begins to realise that his life is already more violent that he first thought it to be.

Now this may sound like a strange concept as a man hears voices coming from his pets but

Reynolds plays the mentally ill man deliciously dark which makes this film very enjoyable. But don't let the talking animals lead you to believe this isn’t also filled with plenty of violence and gore. Not for everyone but a good watch all the same.

Cinderella

Chesterfield 1st

Even if there is still someone out there that hasn’t seen any films about Cinderella, I’m sure they’re still aware of how the story goes.

Ella ( ) lives with her father who has re-married after the death of the mother. She welcomes her new step-mother Lady Tremaine ( ) and her daughters, Anastasia and Drizella. But then Ella’s father unexpectedly passes away and she’s left at the mercy of her new family who relegate her to nothing more than a servant girl and cruelly renames her Cinderella as she spends most of her time in the cinders.

But, despite her circumstances she refuses to give up hope and holds onto her courage to honour her mother.

There are a couple of new twists in this version. Ella meets the prince before the ball at a chance meeting in the

March/April 2015

woods and he pretends that he is just an employee at the palace.

And the Fairy Godmother ( ) also appears earlier, disguised as a beggar as she watches over Ella.

This is the next one on the list for live-action remakes coming from the Disney studios after the recent success of Maleficent. No doubt this will bring in the audience numbers as fans of Disney are nothing if not loyal followers.

Russell Grant’s Horoscopes - March a humanitarian organisation or helping a charitable fund raising effort. Don't be surprised when a respected authority figure develops a crush on you as March turns into April. The two of you will make an impressive power couple. Do you already have a lover?

The Full Moon on the 5th will force you to scale back work in favor of domestic responsibilities. Be realistic about how you schedule your time. It won't be possible to carry a heavy work load this month. Fortunately, your boss will be receptive to your suggestions after the 13th. Schedule important career talks after this date. A Solar Eclipse on the 20th invites you to apply for a position that becomes available quite unexpectedly. This is your chance to move up the ladder of success. This job will have significant fringe benefits.

Your social life picks up as March melts into April.

CANCER June 22nd July 23rd A raise, promotion, or well paid position will be offered to you in the beginning of March. Your star is on the rise. The Full Moon on the 5th warns against hasty communications. Bite your tongue instead of making sarcastic jokes.

as possible. All eyes will be on you.

This calls for a shopping expedition.

LEO July 24th August 23rd

Everyone Can Mediate‌ Meditation is a commonly used word but many don't understand its true meaning and relevance to modern living. Some think meditation is for sick people, or for those who have abandoned all their worldly responsibilities.

Nothing could be further from the truth as you will learn at this event. Kadam Bridget is a western teacher who has been practising Buddhist meditation for over 20 years under the guidance of the renowned teacher Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. She has been able to successfully integrate meditation into her busy family life and run a thriving centre near Northampton all at the same time. Shes is perfectly qualified therefore to explain how everyone today can practice meditation in normal daily life, and more importantly why.

Meditation is an action of mind whose nature is to concentrate single pointedly on a meaningful

object and whose function is to make the mind progressively more and more peaceful. We want to be happy all the time but how can we do this? We can do this through training in meditation because meditation makes the mind peaceful, and when our mind is peaceful we are happy all the time, even if our external conditions are poor. Through this we can see that through training in meditation we cam free ourself permanently from all the sufferings of life and attain a lasting and fulfilling happiness.

We would therefore like to encourage everyone to come along to this special event. You will have the opportunity to speak to the organizers, browse books and publicity, and talk about the availability of weekly meditation classes in the area. You can even request a class in your local town.

classes, courses and workshops on a weekly basis, including weekends and evenings. They are all suitable for everyone from any walk of life. You don't have to be a Buddhist to enjoy and benefit from these classes.

The Public talk will be given by internationally renowned Buddhist teacher, Kadam Bridget Heyes at Chesterfield Central Library, New Beetwell Street S40 1QN Tuesday 14th April 6.30 - 8.30pm. The event is free but donations are welcome.
