LOCAL HERO

In need of a little love advice? Has the fizz gone out of your banger?

If you can find him, maybe you can hire...

Alan Deadman loves to promote diversity and culture through the power of music. He’s currently enjoying his 15th year working with Sharrow Festival, which showcases the best of Sheffield’s global music and dance, as well as being involved in Sheffield’s very own Tramlines.

Hi Alan, you’re a major player in Sheffield’s music scene. Where did it all begin?

I came to Sheffield in 1978 from South London, and I initially felt this city was very grey and colourless. The music scene was good, but not very varied, and I wanted to encourage the showcasing of more minority bands. In 1988 I decided to start the JuJu Club - a non-profit organisation dedicated to live world music - but I still had my dream to open a music studio. Stag Works on John Street already existed and had one of the largest concentrations of music studios in England. It was immensely successful; playing host to big names like Def Leppard, so we decided to start our own agency - The Musical Works. We paired up with Stag Works to hold workshops helping young adults with learning disabilities, physical impairments and substance dependency to develop their social skills through music. 4 bands have been produced from The Musical Works, with one band releasing their first album earlier this year.

BITS’N’BOBS!

Any other highlights of your time in Sheffield?

Starting the techno-night Headcharge. I was a late night DJ there most of the time, and loved featuring unique and interesting music. It was a bridge to get people interested in the JuJu Club.

How do you locate all this unique musical talent?

One way is through City of Sanctuary - a charity which welcomes refugees to Sheffield and provides them support. This charity supplies us with many leads for bookings.

It sounds like you enjoy working with the community, is that where your involvement with Sharrow Festival stemmed from?

I’m very emotionally attached to Sharrow as a place; it’s been a part of my life for 25 years - it makes me very happy! With help from the JuJu Club we raised £350,000 and injected it into Sharrow Festival - making it an immensely popular event. I saw it as an opportunity to bring cultures together and make them feel a part of Sheffield’s community.

We guess the big question is then - do you still find Sheffield grey and colourless?

Not in the slightest. Sheffield is home to so many different races, cultures and unique music; this city’s music scene doesn’t just stop at the Arctic Monkeys. This year at the Sharrow Festival we had so many interesting blends of music - from reggae to an Iranian blues rock band - as well as beautiful Bengali dancing.

Jeff, it would appear that you’ve have a classic case of BHBB (Broken Heart Blue Balls). Your faithful bush-beater, once content in the knowledge that a slice of cherry pie was never far away, suddenly has to deal with the fact that the gormless sack of bones it hangs from (i.e. you) has been tasked with bringing some more punani to the party. It might sound clichéd, but confidence is the key here, So, instead of investing money in sending Mr Kleenex’s children through University, get yourself a haircut, a sharp suit, and trim the abandoned forest growing in your pants. It’s also time to move back out of your parents’ house and find a little honey haven of your own. Make sure your chosen accommodation has the bare necessities: lava lamps, a stocked drinks cabinet, reclining sofa, and a record player playing the best of Al Green. Finally, hit those dance floors like John Travolta on speed.

I guarantee it won’t be long before you’re back on the horse (and by horse, I do of course, mean vagina).

WITH HELP FROM JOE FOOD

alan deadman

Dear SP, Eight months ago, my long-term partner split up with me. I’m now too nervous to get back on the dating scene in case it leads to more heartache. As a result, I’ve turned to frequent masturbation as a way of dealing with my frustration. It started slowly, but now I’m at it nine to ten times a day. Just the other week, I was suspended from work after my boss caught me behind the photocopier, knocking one out into the waste paper bin. It’s starting to take over my life, SP. How do I stop?

Jeff, Shiregreen

CANCER - June 21 - July 22 BULLETS So, I’m strolling down Fargate, reflecting on life’s big questions, namely whether I’d rather be a giant hamster or a tiny rhino. Upon reaching Starbucks, I clocked that Tyrion Lannister bloke, of Game of Thrones fame, sipping Blow dry bar mocha and looking pretty down.

Cutting and Colouring Now, it’s not very oft en you bump into a Lannister around Sheff, so I went over to say hello.

“Nah then, Tyrian.

Your dad’s a reight mardy sod. I’m rooting for Cocktails / bubbly you, mate.” Looking up from his coffee, he replied, “Thank you, Sir. Now, where Party Packages sells decent vino in this joint?” on arrival If truthComplementary be told, we ended up on adrink bit of a session.He then decides to drop the “I need a cashpoint” chestnut. I buy him a beer and tell him not to worry about it.

AQUARIUS Jan 20 - Feb 18 The planets of wango and vagine have both reached the end of their retrograde phase, which means your love life will become lacklustre over the coming months.

Lower your standards.

Put A Cap In It! Hats off to you, Shefflihem – you’re a superstitious eagle eyed lot. We know how much you love your horoscopes – so, when Capricorn went mysteriously missing from our hallowed pages last month, the response was nothing short of incredible (seriously, you lot REALLY need to get out more).

Apparently, a planetary pile-up between Pluto and Harry Styles’ hair caused a micro-black hole to form on the very spot of the mag where Capricorn should have appeared. It’s a rare, but not unheard of, occurrence. Normal service has now been resumed. Spank you.

PISCES Feb 19 - Mar 20 With the fiery planet Mars involved in taxing planetary patterns this month, you’ll begin ruffling the feathers of those around you… as you develop a sexual appetite for poultry.

Comic Con hits Sheffield Showmasters are bringing their first ever show to Sheffield.

Taking place August 30-31 at the Motorpoint Arena, the Sheffield Film and Comic Con will showcase your favourite stars from TV, Films and Comics - giving you the opportunity to lose yourself in the world of action hero’s and sci-fi.

The event also promises a host of other fun activities - including photo-shoots with your favourite characters, panels with the stars, autograph sessions and hundreds of stalls full of TV and Film memorabilia. Terminator and Mortal Kombat star Kristanna Loken has already been confirmed for both days of the event, as has Dirk Benedict of The A Team/ Battlestar Galactica fame - and a number of other guests are set to be announced at a later date. The show opens from 9am-6pm on both days. Head to www.sheffieldfilmandcomiccon. com for more.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 19 You appreciate spending time by yourself to reflect. Luckily, personal space isn’t hard to find.

TAURUS April 20 - May 20 As a Taurus, you take on the main characteristics of the bull. Yes, you’re well endowed, but you’re also a confrontational,

b*stard.

GEMINI May 21 - June 20 This month, the planets Prejudicio and Ukaprious have finally de-aligned themselves. Those feelings of intolerance and misplaced anger will slowly fade over the coming weeks. Thank f*ck for that.

LEO July 23 - Aug 22 The rapper, Lil Wayne, once said: “I’m in the sky, flying with the fishes, or maybe in the ocean, swimming with the pigeons.” Heed his words.

VIRGO Aug 23 - Sep 22 The little-known planet, Venuswilliamsarmpitula, has tipped its axis towards the moon.

This suggests that one day you’ll hold a conversation with someone you may find attractive… or not.

LIBRA Sep 23 - Oct 22 Growing a handlebar moustache will not hide you from Jesus on Judgement Day. SCORPIO Oct 23 – Nov 21 To avoid lashing out aggressively this month, close your eyes and think of baby squirrels... unless you enjoy punching baby squirrels in the face.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 22 - Dec 21 You’ve never been the type to listen to the ‘signs’ - which explains why you’ve crashed every car you’ve owned.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 – Jan 19 Lonely this month? The cosmic forces have some advice: stop staring at people on buses, move out of your mum’s house, and refrain from speaking entirely in Game of Thrones references.

Come hither, as the Great Foodini takes a cheeky peek at his magical balls...

Hosted within the confines of one of Yorkshire’s finest visitor attractions, Cannon Hall Farm, the festival stems from a series of concerts held previously at the site to raise funds for local projects such as the village Cricket Club, Church and Preschool. Now, the aim is to develop those concerts into a weekend of world class entertainment in the heart of South Yorkshire – all in a purpose built big-top concert marquee.

Taking place July 25-27, there’s a host of cracking live entertainment on the bill – with the likes of The Puppini Sisters, Richard Thompson, Tunng and event organiser Kate Rusby all signed up. Plus, for the first time this year, there’ll be the opportunity to pitch up and stay at the festival campsite.

BY LEWIS MOTTRAM

horSing aroUnd The ever knowledgeable Stephen Fry dropped a clanger on a recent edition of QI - by claiming that the last horse meat shop in the country closed in Doncaster during the 1930’s. We’re afraid, dear Stephen, that you’re slightly off the mark.

See, a horse flesh dealer by the name of Herbert Thomas was known to have a shop on Hereford Street here in Sheff open until the 1970’s.

South Yorkshire does indeed appear to be have been one of the last thriving outposts of the horse delicacy - with further shops reported on Infirmary Road, Duke Street, Meadow Street and Spital Hill between the 40’s and 50’s.

One particular shop on Attercliffe Common apparently had the words, ‘Fit for human consumption’ written in brackets next to the sign – which, of course, is reassuring to know! Giddy up.

Exposed has taken a pew inside a small recording studio on the outskirts of the city centre, situated amongst the rusting warehouses and factories which represent the rattling gasps of Sheffield’s once alive and kicking manufacturing industry.

Sat directly across are four young lads who’ve provided a breath of fresh air for the local music scene. The Darlingtons now look set to deliver a spot of wider resuscitation to the sound of British alternative music with their atmospheric, brooding, post-rock vibes.

Hi chaps, let’s kick off by discussing the tracks you’ve chosen to play today?

Chris: We’ve gone a bit stripped back today. We chose to play a track called ‘Sunflowers’ – which is an old track, and also ‘Fiction Is Not Imagination’ – a new one of ours, which we haven’t really played live yet.

Could you briefly tell us a bit about each track?

Chris: Sunflowers was written a while ago. (To Kiran) What did you write it about?

Kiran: Sunflowers. (Laughter) Chris: I think it’s kind of a depressing take on being a sunflower.

How they always face the sun until the end of summer when they wilt away - I’d like to add that we’re not actually as depressing as we sound!

Ah, the irony of sunflowers. What about the second track?

Kiran: ‘Fiction Is Not Imagination’ took a while to get to the stage in which it sounded right. We spent a lot of time developing it in the studio.

Chris: We were working on it for a good few months. I think we’re getting there with it now. It used to sound horrendous, but now it’s probably our strongest live track.

How did you guys start playing music together?

Kiran: We went to school together. Simple as that, really.

Chris: We were all part of the same friendship groups, but strangely all began by playing in separate bands. We started jamming together and stuff towards the end of college.

Daniel: I think it’s been about six years that we’ve been playing and writing together.

That gives you a lot of time to hone your sound. Do you feel there’s been a gradual improvement in your music?

Daniel: Yeah, you definitely notice the sound getting stronger.

Chris: Song writing can take a while to perfect, especially when you’re working with four people, you need to know how each other works musically. So, yeah, I think we’ve become a lot more aware of that.

You’ve played a few interesting gigs recently: The Great Escape festival, supporting Catfish And The Bottlemen, then performances in Belgium and France. It’s been a busy month…

Kiran: It has. It’s been awesome. To play Great Escape then support Catfish in the same weekend at another cool venue was a great experience.

Chris: Playing Belgium and France was great. We played some good gigs, got treated really well, and met some really

interesting people.

The beer in Belgium isn’t bad, either?

All: *Loud resonances of agreement*.

Kiran: They don’t even shut the pubs! They stay open all night and in to the morning. We ended up being banned from drinking this 9% beer called Chimay. It was incredible.

I’ve read that your name derives from the Anglo Saxon period…

Chris: Well, it’s based on the surname of a guy called Bob Darlington - who used to help us out loads. However, we read in to it and then found the Anglo Saxon link.

Did you know that Sheffield originated from a settlement built by a family of Angles, on the banks of the River Sheaf, near where Commercial Street is today? We’re talking early 9th century here.

Chris: We didn’t know that! Now, thankfully, we do. We can pop that in our bio now.

Yup. They were described as ‘barbaric, warlike characters’ which member of the band does this represent the most?

Daniel: I think that’s probably all of us when we’re on a stage.

Chris: Yeah, our live set is very energetic - so I think you could apply that to all of us.

Alex: It’s a good job we play a short set. You see some bands going at it for about an hour and a half and I’m thinking, if we did that, we’d need A & E. It’s quite nice having the opportunity to strip back our sound today and hear the music a bit differently.

It’s funny you should mention a softer sound, because the instrument of choice for most Anglo Saxons was the harp.

Do you reckon there’s a way you could incorporate one of those in to your set?

Kiran: It could be part of our new campaign.

Chris: My auntie plays the harp - let’s get her in.

I’m feeling the Anglo Saxon vibe here. Let’s have another.

It was tradition to bury Anglo Saxons with ‘grave goods’, personal possessions to take in to the afterlife. What would you choose?

Daniel: Guitar Kiran: Yeah, I’d say guitar. Dan would probably take his phone. *Laughter* Daniel: Well, you’ve got to catch up with what people on Earth are up to…

Chris: I’d take clean pants. If you’re going to the afterlife, you’d want to make a good impression. I’d also take a football, so I can re-ennact the scene from Castaway, draw a face on it and call it Wilson.

Finally then, what’s on the horizon for The Darlingtons?

Chris: Exciting times, hopefully. We’ve just signed to a booking agency today!

Kiran: We’ve also got a single recorded - and the video shot for that. Our latest single, Rotations, is out now. We’ve also got a couple of gigs left before our tour finishes.

Chris: Our next single will be called ‘Whoever Really Knows’ – and it looks like that will be out this month.

locKer rooM With Exposed on a losing streak reminiscent of the England World Cup Squad, we decided the time was right to focus on something we know we’re good at; drinking.

Which is why we found ourseleves at Locker Room on West Street for a game of Beer Pong.

Glasses are well and truly charged.

Words: Joe Food.

After a string of heavy defeats, the Exposed VS team were beginning to feel the pressure. Gaffer, Phil, was becoming increasingly agitated and brought the team together for a rousing team-talk beforehand. “There’s been a lot of talk lately, some of it quite slanderous. But I’ll tell ya now – we’re still fighting for this, and we’ve got to get to the Locker Room and get something, and... I’ll tell you honestly, I would love it we beat them, love it!”.

With the words of a fired up manager ringing in our ears, Victoria and I cautiously stepped inside the swish surroundings of the Locker Room. To my approval, we were greeted by a vast collection of screens showing every live sport you could imagine. Settling down by the bar with a drink, I was happy to stay there all day. However, Victoria brusquely reminded me that we were here to do a job. Game face back on.

Our competitors were PR guy James and barmaid Simone.

After some brief chitchat, they asked if we were ready to start proceedings with a round of beer pong on their state of the art table. “Born ready,” I replied. “Get your balls out then.” *Awkward Silence*

Game 1 – Beer Pong For those of you who have never been to University, Beer Pong is a very simple game. Two challengers stand at either side of a table, with a selection of cups containing the alcoholic tipple of choice in front of them. A ping-pong ball is introduced, and each competitor takes turns to bounce the ball in to the each other’s cups. If they succeed, the other player must down the alcohol in the cup. Easy, right? I was pitted against Simone - who stepped up to the table with the swagger of someone who enjoyed plenty of beer pong parties in her fresher year. She obviously knew what she was doing, as her first shot grazed the top of my cup, and I narrowly escaped punishment. After a few ‘practice throws’, Simone took the lead with a beautifully aimed shot, landing smack bang in the middle of my cup - 1-0 Locker Room!

I polished off my drink and took aim - seeking retribution.

A couple of goes later, I equalised with a swerving throw worthy of Brian chuffin’ Lara, I tell thee! – 1-1 and all to play for! But Simone swiftly provided a metaphorical kick in the nads by taking out two of my cups in quick succession - 3-1 to Locker Room. Game over. I grudgingly necked the two pints, and headed over to the pool tables… Hic!

Tournament Tuesdays

Fancy a go yoursen? Every Tuesday, Locker Room hold beer pong & ping- pong tournaments from 7pm onwards! Get involved for 20% off beer pitchers & the chance to win a bar tab.

Game 2 – American Pool Pool time. My challenger, James, led us over to one of four snazzy looking tables upstairs in the venue. I needed to redeem myself after a shambolic performance on the pool table during last month’s challenge. Fighting back various flashbacks of the white ball flying off the table, missed pots, and the sheepish looks on my teammates faces, I gritted my teeth and waited for James to rack up. “I’m awful!” he told me, as he went to break. Was he blagging? ‘Yeah, we’ll see about that one, James,’ I thought. The ‘awful’ James potted impressively on his third shot, and then instantly followed it up by potting the white.

I equalised moments later. What followed was roughly ten minutes of fairly shoddy play - including a ‘trick shot’ by James, which left the table and ended up somewhere on Division Street. “You guys are awful!” laughed Simone. Thanks for that Simone. It really was time for yours truly to step up to the plate.

I managed to wriggle out of a tricky snooker and went on to pot three in a row. Not laughing anymore, Simone, eh? A few Judd Trump inspired pots later and I’m well in the lead. James responds with a couple of smart shots – but to no avail. I get on to the black with a four ball advantage. Putting James out of his misery, I sink the black ball in to the middle pocket and almost do a little wee. Exposed are back in the game! Jurassic Park!

Game 3 – Ping-Pong Let the ping see the pong! Now it’s all down to our Victoria to notch up a much needed win for team Exposed. First to eleven and the winner must be two points clear. The stage is set. James opens serving, and a brief rally ends with him finding the net after a well-placed shot from Victoria does him up like a kipper.

The cheering crowd (i.e. me) fell silent as James responded with a cheeky backhand to bring the scoring level. Victoria,

clearly riled, began employing the use of a forearm smash – to devastating effect. Breezing in to a 4-1 lead, it seemed as though we were mere moments away from glory... until a double fault serve brought James back in the game. Bummer. James then went on the offensive, and before you could say, “ping pong’s coming home” – the score was tied at 4-4. Playtime was over - and both competitors upped the ante by firing shots at impressive speeds across the table. One particularly vicious swipe from Victoria saw the ball fly high in to the air, disrupt the path of a Russian satellite, before finally landing on top of St Paul’s Tower. Whoopsie. After finding a replacement ball, the scoring got hectic…

5-4 Exposed!

6-4!

6-5!

7-5!

7-6!

“Victoria, just keep calm and play ping pong!” I pleaded from the sidelines, but it was useless. James stole the next two points.

Locker Room were in the lead. Like the England football team, it seemed that Exposed were going home with nothing to show – again.

However, t’old Victoria had other plans. A Federer-esque serve brought us back on level terms. She then swiftly managed to bag two more points – once again courtesy of that deadly forearm smash. Match point! And you could have cut the atmosphere with a special atmosphere cutter. A tense rally ensued, until James did a ‘Steven Gerrard’ and threw it all away with a speculative shot that missed the table entirely. YESSS! FOR THE LOVE OF SEAN BEAN - EXPOSED WIN! After a prolonged celebratory jig, team Exposed settled down to a meaty champions platter served up by the Locker Room chef. Victory and spicy chicken wings – what more does tha want?

VerdicT

Bloody hell! We won! We actually bloody won! And it feels unfamiliar but rather good. If you’d like to take us on at whatever it is you do for a living, just email editor@ exposedmagazine.co.uk with an explanation of the challenge and we’ll do the rest.

Join us next month when we try to see if we can string two wins together and claw our way back into some kind of contention on this God forsaken feature...

Party in style For those who love being pampered, getting your hair done can be a relaxing treat, but how about sipping on a cocktail or glass of bubbly at the same time?

If this sounds like your kind of thing, you’re in luck - located opposite Napoleons Casino on Ecclesall Road, The Style Bar is Sheffield’s first dedicated ‘blow dry bar’. Described as ‘unique and sinfully glamorous’, the shop held a swanky launch party on 20th June, attended by celebrity

couple Jessica Wright and Ricky Rayment.

The pair, who are currently filming a new series of The Only Way Is Essex, agreed the shop was a great idea – with Jess saying: “It’s beautiful, really lovely. We need one of these in Essex.”

Prosecco and a red carpet welcomed the salon’s new clientele, and we had the chance to sample treatments and services, all listed on a menu, just like the drinks - handy! See www.thestylebar.co.uk for more.

Why did the barber cross the road?

Savills barbershop has moved onto bigger and better things, stepping across Devonshire Street to move into a roomier premesis, allowing more barbers, more stations, and more space for their ever-growing clientele. And a giant cow, of course.

Saturday 21st June saw the grand opening of the new Savills as plenty of tattooed and bearded guests arrived at the new shop to be greeted by magnums of champagne, bottles of Hendricks Gin and a Smeg fridge stocked choc-a-bloc full of beer.

Admiring the vintage barbershop décor, and walls lined with flash prints, photos and huge antique style mirrors, guests celebrated a new phase for Sheffield’s renowned barbershop. As well as providing the usual walk-in service of haircuts, beard trims and cut throat shaves, Savills has also launched a bespoke tailoring service with Savile Row tailor, John Lancaster, also of The Mono Store, London.

What A Ride!

A posh festival without a portaloo or a pair of wellies in sight?

Sounds too good to be true. Viva L’Eroica! Set for the first time in the beautiful backdrop of Bakewell, famed for its puddings and not to be confused with the tarts, three day festival L’Eroica (June 20-22) culminated in a cycle race on the Sunday - with a 30-, 50- or 100-mile route option. The use of pre-1987 bikes and the cyclists’ attire helped to create a retro continental feel, as a nod to the first ever L’Eroica, held in Italy in 1997.

Exposed was on hand to dish out some Lush prizes for the Best Dressed Festival Goer category, both male and female, with the dapper gents proving just why this is billed as the most handsome bike race in the world.

With handlebars (both bikes and moustaches) and vintage lycra aplenty, the festival set up Brittania as a Tour De Force for the Tour De France! See www.eroicabritannia.co.uk for more.

The number of people electing to have cosmetic procedures to make them look, (and crucially) feel good has increased significantly in recent years.

There was a time when cosmetic surgery was just for the wealthy and famous. But these days, along with a surge of innovations in the industry, it’s becoming much more accessible.

This recent shift has not gone unnoticed by leading Harley Street cosmetic surgeon Dr Hassan Nurein, who this month launches a new clinic in Millhouses, the second branch of a new national brand, Be Cosmetic Clinics, specialising in hair restoration, VASER body sculpting and the latest in facial rejuvenation treatments.

Body Contouring VASER – which stands for ‘vibration amplification of sound energy’ – is a revolutionary, ultrasonic fat removal procedure, offering a safer, less invasive alternative to traditional lipo. The treatment emulsifies and removes targeted areas of fat without damaging surrounding tissue, helping improve your overall contour by eliminating fat in specific parts of your body to help you achieve the shape you want.

For those who want a more athletic look, or are after the elusive six-pack they’re struggling to achieve through exercise, Dr Nurein specialises in a

is in more advanced, super-targeted form of VASER lipo called VASER 4D, which removes small amounts of fat around the muscles to enhance the appearance of musculature.

“It’s state-of-the-art, high-end surgical technology,” says Dr Nurein. “With VASER, it’s so much more minimal than traditional liposuction - it’s usually over within a couple of hours and can be done under a local anaestetic.

“It’s a very popular procedure, partly because recovery is also quick and results are often immediate – our patients are very happy with the outcome.”

Dr Nurein and his team also offer fat transfer procedures, a safe alternative to silicone breast implants and with shorter recovery time. Using VASER, fat is removed from one area of the body and then injected into the breasts to increase size or enhance their shape. And for men who suffer from gynaecomastia (an excess of fatty tissue on the chest area), chest reduction surgery targets what are commonly referred to as ‘moobs’, reducing size whilst creating a flatter, firmer and better-contoured shape.

Hair Transplant Hair transplants have gained popularity in the last few years – celebrity success stories have played a part but, more importantly, medical advances have meant that results have vastly improved too.

Dr Nurein is a member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons, and specialises in the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) methods - considered the gold standard in natural hair restoration surgery.

Using the latest micro-grafting tools, hair follicles are removed from one area of the scalp and implanted into the area affected by hair loss. Surgery takes only a few hours, but results in natural growth patterns – the hair will continue to grow as it had been doing prior to the move.

Facial Rejuvenation Over-exposure to the sun, pollution, smoking and stress can all contribute to the signs of ageing, leaving your skin looking tired.

Dermal fillers are a collagen material used to ‘fill in’ wrinkles and plump the skin, and can instantly create a more youthful-looking appearance. Botulinum toxin (or Botox) is a protein used to relax the muscle underneath the skin, which temporarily decreases wrinkles and makes lines less visible.

Both procedures are quick, non-invasive and provide great results, without the risk or inconvenience associated with a traditional facelift.

Picking Up

Good Vibrations

Meet johny d Matthews

Good Vibrations will be graced with a special visitor soon tattooist Johny D Matthews. At the end of August, the multi award winner will join the team for just a few days to embrace the public with open inks. His craftsmanship is renowned for incorporating a classic tattooing style with the intricate details of steampunk, a unique spin that the city will love. We got our hands on Johny before Good Vibrations welcome him into the studio.

We hear you trained in Sheffield, Johny…?

Yeah, I spent 18 months being trained by a good friend called Sosk at a tattoo studio in the city - and that was a whole new level of cool!

Are you looking forward to re-visiting the city and Good Vibrations?

Absolutely - I love Sheffield! I feel Sheffield really embodies the vibe of the north and the guys at Good Vibrations are right in the middle of it.

Can you give us a brief history of Johny.

How’d you get into tattooing?

Haha, I’m not sure how brief to make it - as I can seriously waffle on. Basically, Sosk was working in a studio in my village and he managed to see some of my artwork. He offered me a tattoo apprenticeship in his studio in Sheffield and, at first, I was a bit reluctant - but after I finished training as an architect, I found I didn’t like the building industry much, so I went and found out Sosk and the rest is history…

What’s been your favourite tattoo to work on?

Every tattoo I do is a real honour and I have too many faves to mention. That said, I recently did nice elephant tattoo that’s the start of an African sleeve! It’s gonna be epic!

Any celeb stories?

I’ve tattooed a few celebs and footballers etc

but, to be honest, I’m not easily star struck.

Can you tell us about some of your awards?

They’re nice and shiney, haha, but yeah I’ve been very lucky over the last couple years. I just hope to keep up the good work and keep on knocking out tattoos that bring people a lifetime of happiness You’re internationally known too - have you been anywhere exciting recently?

Not anywhere in the last month or so - as I’m so gratefully busy in my studio, but I’m set for another trip to Norway and an awesome tattoo show in Japan this summer - so that will be great… even though I am terrified of flying.

You’ve a pretty impressive portfolio! Is there a design that everyone is asking for at the moment?

Yeah, a lot of people are now wanting time pieces, which ties in nicely with my steam punk style which I’m really trying to push out there.

The Good Vibrations team are excited to be having you; how do you think you can complement the team?

I think their team is already perfect, it will just be an honour to work alongside those guys.

Get in Touch...

The line-up so far includes The Ratells, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Liberty Ship and a special guest TBA for a late treat on the Saturday night! Keep your eyes and ears peeled.

The Viper Rooms has two very special guests over the Tramlines weekend for two exclusive DJ sets. Tim Burgess from The Charlatans takes to the decks first – followed ably by Bez of Happy Mondays fame. They’ll be spinning their favourite mixture of tracks spanning the last 20 years and, word on the Wiki is, Burgess has a love of acid house. You’re in for treat!

South Rd based record specialists, Tone Arm Vinyl, will be running a pop-up shop right in the heart of the Tramlines madness at Division Street’s Moonkau.

Grab your empty record bag and head along from Monday 21 right through to Tramlines Sunday 27 to stock up on some vinyl gems.

Where: The o2 When: Friday Riding on the soundwaves of Calvin Harris and Disclosure, Blonde has been fully embraced into the funk-house hype. Amongst many other promising acts playing Friday at the O2, collaborators Jacob Manson and Adam Englefield are guaranteed to make a huge impression. Their repertoire moves in all directions, taking the best elements of dance, garage, r&b and house to create a musical super-baby. Endorsed by Englefield’s Eton Messy, one of the coolest YouTube promotion teams, the group are on track to be one of the biggest summer heat-wave sounds.

Where: The ocTagon When: SaTurday Coming all the way from LA, William Bensussen, best known as The Gaslamp Killer, will bring an electronica vibe to Sheffield that simply needs to be experienced. He’s been active within the music scene since 2000 as a DJ, producer and promoter and, although he’s recognised and praised for his various mixtapes, his first studio album ‘Breakthrough’, has gained lots of interest. A truly unique individual who oozes enthusiasm, expect an energy driven set.

They were formed in London in Spring 2012 by Barnaby Maddick and Khaled Lowe and have since provided some of the most ambient, mellow, and psychedelic sounds you’ll hear.

Expect flutes and violins to peacefully merge with drums alongside soft vocals in what will be an immersive and mesmerising performance.

With their effortless cool, the Leeds-based two-piece possess both the talent and the image. Their sound is instantly alluring, meshing a taste of irony with the zoned-out, ‘suffering insomniac’ feel created by the fuzz pedal. This is an act with a lot of imagination… and a lot of potential.

Juce

With heavy doses of girl power, 90’s paraphernalia and the consequential sunshine, JUCE make dancing inevitable - and will be a perfect support for Sister Sledge.

Two Head(Liners) Are Better Then One! Exposed Meets The Gentlemen and Philippa Hanna.

The Gentlemen and Philippa Hanna have only gone and teamed up for a dual headline show at the O2 Academy this month. Following some massive support shows we met up with Philippa and Sean and Joel form The Gentlemen for a coffee to find out what we could expect. Words: Samantha Thomas.

A dual headline gig, eh? Kooky. Tell us more…

P: I think it’s going to be a really great night, because a lot of my songs are about drawing people in and taking them on a song journey, so people are going to get that aspect of the night. but they’re also going to have a complete party with The Gentlemen. So, hopefully, it will be a like an emotional rollercoaster - with an explosion of a party at the end of it.

S: Yeah, I think you’ll like break them down - and we’ll come in and destroy them *laughs*.

How are you all preparing for the tour?

S: We’ve both been on tour recently - so we feel tour ready. It will just be a case of adding songs in, making it more of a headliner set than a support act set.

P: We’re also doing four hours of yoga a day… hot yoga in a 50 degree room.

Not really. I’m sure that’s what Ellie Goulding does, or like boxercise for two hours before a gig or something.

Philippa, you’ve had the opportunity to tour with Lionel Richie and Rebecca Ferguson. What were those experiences like for you?

Really amazing! I was so nervous about touring with Lionel because I’m a big fan, a massive fan from childhood, and they were immense, huge, sold out arena gigs. I was just playing with my acoustic guitar. It was scary but worth it because I think it’s almost like going on the biggest rollercoaster at the theme park; you go for the big one first, the scariest one, and then you just have fun with the rest of them. So after doing that, with no experience with that kind of audience, it feels like everything is doable. Doing the Rebecca Ferguson tour after that felt so warm and lovely and fluffy because there were 1000 people and lots of girls.

I love playing to girls, I think my songs relate to the female kind, so yeah, both

great experiences.

And you guys toured with The Feeling…

J: Yeah, It was really good. It was just a great tour for us; we’d never done a support tour like that before.

We’d never played consistently to such big audiences.

It really helped us to build up our stage presence and it was just brilliant to hang out with a band that had been doing it for so many years and learn from them.

With all of you being from Sheffield, is there something a little special about coming back?

P: Yeah, it feels like home. We love the Sheffield crowd;

they’re really mellow and warm and it’s a good place to be.

S: Sheffield’s going to be a good home coming gig. A lot of our friends and family are here and it always feels like home. The last time we played here was at Tramlines and it was heaving, really interactive gigs. You always wonder if the next gig will live up to the last one… and I think that it will.

Philippa and Joel, what’s it like working together? (The two have been married for five years) J: It’s great. I do a lot of things for Philippa and the company she heads up. It’s either between me and the management team - so I do everything from driving Philippa to a gig to making sure her itinerary’s up to date.

We work really well together - and it’s a good testimony for other people in the music industry.

P: Yeah, it’s nice to actually see each other. At least if we’re working together we can see each other.

Is it hard sometimes when you have to go on the road and be apart from each other?

J: Yeah, and it’s hard to kind of switch off as well when we need to have downtime. Sometimes I play with Philippa as well and after the gig it’s like, ‘that song was too fast’ or, ‘that’s not really working’…

P: … Or I’ve got him by the throat like ‘that was just way over the top.’

P: We’ve got rules, like we can’t have any instruments in the front room. Were both addicted to music and it needs to just not look like work in the house. S: It’s a very difficult industry to be in sometimes because you’re just basically running your own small business, completely against the odds.

If you could pick just one, what would be your individual highlights from your career?

P: I think it felt like a really amazing moment when I did the 02 Arena with Lionel, because it had been such a long hard slog – I was just looking for any kind of a break at all. It just felt like such a culmination of little things that had led there and, when I walked out on stage and was able to sing my songs to those people, I just thought it was a real testament to not giving up and not listening to the people who tried to discourage

and we turned up at this festival with our dad and all our stuff and we were kind of like a bit of a laughing stock… but in a kind of cute sort of way. But it was really good. That was back in 2007 and people now, even nine years later, still ask us ‘how’s your dad, is he still managing you?’

Home Brew Challenge Returns Ever tried your hand at brewing your own beer? Since Waitrose teamed up with Thornbridge Brewery and Brew UK to create The Home Brew Challenge 2014, there’s no better time to start.

The lucky winner of The Home Brew Challenge, which launches on July 1, will be awarded the opportunity to see their homemade beer transformed by the Derbyshire Brewery company into a commercial craft beer and sold on the shelves of Waitrose stores across the UK. Rob Lovatt, Head Brewer at Thornbridge, said: “A considerable number of home brewers develop great quality beers that can never be appreciated by a larger drinking public. The Home Brew Challenge 2014 will provide home brewers with an opportunity to match their beers against those of other enthusiasts and have them tasted by a panel of expert beer judges. The Home Brew Challenge 2014 will be a celebration of the British tradition of brewing - with the aim of creating a great new beer and for people to try and embrace many of the new flavours in beers from across the world.”

We’ll drink to that. Visit www.gbhomebrew.co.uk for entry details or click here for more info.

Salute!

Regulars at city centre foodie favourite, VeroGusto, will already appreciate the luxury of eating there. But, this summer, owners Saverio and Ester are introducing the people of Sheffield to the Italian aperitivo.

A perfect way to meet friends and unwind after a hard day at work, the aperitivo is a predinner drink and snack, a concept thought to have dated back to Roman times. Although it typically consists of a bitter cocktail such as the classic Campari Negroni or Aperol Spritz, wine and prosecco can also be enjoyed at aperitivo time. Whatever you go for, your drink will be accompanied by a small selection of canapesized nibbles.

So, as the weather is finally heating up, why not head over to Norfolk Row for a spot of alfresco drinking and nibbling when you clock off after work?

Sit back, relax and you’ll soon feel like you’ve been transported to a small Italian square. James

will take care of your cocktail requests, whilst Saverio is always on hand to assist with wine recommendations.

Look out for the fine wines available by the glass, thanks to VeroGusto’s new wine preservation system, which allows wines normally only served by the bottle to be kept for longer than usual. Currently on offer is the Chardonnay Formigar Cornell DOC (2009) with its hint of exotic fruits including mango and honeydew melon, it’s perfect for getting those tastebuds going. But red wine fans may prefer the coffee, black pepper, liquorice and tobacco flavours of Pelago, Umani Ronchi (2008).

Warmly welcomed, we peruse the inspired menu over a glass of Shiraz, opting to skip the bread and nibbles and delve straight into the starters. Two to share, to be precise, in the form of Panzerottini (a mixture of beautifully baked doughy balls filled with Fontal cheese, chilli and pepperoni)) and the Insalata Ottima – a super salad of tender pan-fried chicken breast, butter beans, walnuts, avocado, baby spinach and radicchio leaves – all wonderfully complemented by a light herb vinaigrette. We couldn’t have wished for a better opener.

Onto the mains, and for me it had to be the Ravioli Marittimi, a special seafood ravioli stuffed with crayfish, crab, salmon and ricotta in a creamy tomato sauce with prawns – all topped with a king prawn in its shell. Truly delicious. My partner opted for the Rump Steak Tagliata – and it was a whopper. Panfried rump steak, sliced and dressed Italian-style, with rocket, San Marzano tomatoes, salsa verde, fresh red chillies and Grana Padano cheese served on a Rosemary and Sea Salt flat bread. The steak arrived perfectly medium-rare with all the elements working in sweet harmony. To finish, Apple Cinnamon Calzone – a warm squidgy hug of a dessert served with a scoop of vanilla gelato.

Great British Beer Festival

THE PlacE

Every August, for the last 36 years, over 40,000 people have flocked to London on a beery mission for the Great British Beer Festival (well except a couple of times when it was held in Brighton and Leeds back in the eighties). A celebration of our national drink, beer, the festival showcases a selection of over 900 real ales plus ciders and perries. Those with beer geekery leanings can tick away for hours and those just looking for the more unfamiliar beers to sample can head towards the Bieres Sans Frontieres and the American cask bar. Hard to find cask versions of American favourites such as Sierra Nevada’s Torpedo Extra IPA sits next to hand-picked bottled selections from Dutch, Belgian and Italian micro-breweries such as De Prael, De Molen and Toccolmato.

From Tuesday 12th August for 5 days Olympia exhibition centre hosts this yearly bash by the Campaign for Real Ale. Check out the finalised beer list on their social media links to tempt you down to ‘Britain’s Biggest Pub’.

Cubana is moving After fourteen years of tapas, cocktails, live music, latin nights, salsa dancing and visits from thousands of happy customers, (not to mention the legendary Buena Vista Social Club) Sheffield’s favourite Latino restaurant and bar is moving across the city to make way for bigger and better ventures.

Cubana will be taking the short trip from Trippet Lane to the new two-floor venue in foodie and nightlife hotspot, Leopold Square. The new Cubana, although more than double the capacity of their previous residence, will still hold much of the charm that has made this a firm Sheffield favourite for so many years - with artefacts, artwork and furniture bringing that authentic Cuban atmosphere. Owner Adrian Bagnoli said: “Having Cubana over two floors in Leopold Square will allow us to offer somuch more for everyone”. The team have plans for more DJ nights with a late licence ‘til 2am

at the weekend, dance classes, live music acts and special one-off events aiming to bring in some of the UK’s top Latino bands.

They will also have a private function room available to hire for special occasions and their award winning tapas will as ever be prepared by Cubana’s original head chef Fabian Cruz. See www.cubanatapasbar. co.uk for more.

You’re never short of food options when you head to Valley Centertainment – but arguably the jewel in its culinary crown is Chiquitos. Vibrant, cheery and offering authentic Tex-Mex cuisine, it’s easy to see why it’s such a popular draw for all walks of life – young, old, friends, families and couples.

THE Food

We kick things off with a couple of cocktails (it’s not just food they do well here). For me, the Tanqtini – a delicious twist on the classic Martini with Tanqueray Ten, grapefruit and a touch of orange. For my partner, it was all about the classic Bramble - crushed ice smothered in Bombay Sapphire gin, fresh lemon juice, sugar and Chambord black raspberry liqueur.

Whistles truly wet, it was the Chicken & Chorizo Quesadilla Bites off the Specials to start for me – two tasty, cheesy tortilla sandwiches, baked and served with homemade salsa. My other half went for another classic, South Western Meatballs, moreish pork and beef bundles smothered in signature sauce and melted cheese.

For the main event, the intriguing Mexican Sea Bass caught my eye – and I’m glad to say it delivered taste by the bucket load too. Mexican spices rubbed shoulders delicately with the sizzling sea bass and a cranberry & mint salsa to create a dish full of flavour.

For my partner, it was the BBQ Pulled Pork Wrap – a beast of a dinner with melt-in-your-mouth meat, cheese, lettuce, fajita vegetables and skin-on fries.

To finish, Chili Chocolate Fondant. They promised us we’d love it… and they were right. A warm gorgeously gooey number with just a hint of heat served with mandarins soaked in an orange liqueur sweet syrup and honeycomb ice cream. Delicious.

THE VErdicT

In addition to everything tasting fantastic, Chiquitos put fun into their food. You’ll always leave with a smile on your face and a full belly - without breaking the bank. Winner.

aSK nicely A team of intrepid staff from ASK Italian Sheffield are entering the company’s fundraising Summer Triathlon this July - which aims to raise £100,000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity.

The ASK Italian Summer Triathlon will be held on Thursday July 10 at Dorney Lake in Berkshire – the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games venue – and will also be open to ASK Italian friends, customers and suppliers.

The event is part of ASK Italian’s wider pledge to raise £1 million towards a new surgery centre at the hospital - which treats children with the rarest and most complex conditions from across the UK. “We’re so proud of our relationship with Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity,” says restaurant general manager Shereen Clarke. “We’re really grateful to staff and customers who have helped us to raise money for such a fantastic cause and

we can’t wait to do Sheffield proud in the competition and raise even more with the ASK Italian Summer Triathlon.”

Good luck, folks. See www.askitalian. co.uk/restaurants/sheffield and check out our food review for more.

THE PlacE

Mamma Mia! Italian restaurant, caffè and foodshop, Carluccio’s, has opened on Ecclesall Road in the former La Tasca premises.

Open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner this is the chain that feels more like a small independent. With a great range of authentic Italian food, from pasta to pizza to fish dishes, grills, home made bread and a selection of desserts, we think this will be a very welcome addition to the foodie scene on Ecclesall Road. Head to carluccios.com for more.

Rev Up Vodka Rev are going in the mix – with their all new cocktail masterclasses.

The 90 minute experience will allow you and your gang to get hands-on behind the bar under the tutelage of your very own cocktail expert. Having been welcomed via a drink from their giant cocktail shaker, you’ll enjoy a masterclass in the art of mixology. Canapes, giggles and tons more await – along with a certificate at the end of it all.

Meanwhile, up the road at Sheffield’s own corner of the Caribbean, Revolución de Cuba have completely transformed their own cocktail menu with a new summer range.

De Cuba lovers can now enjoy the exotic tastes of passion fruit, mango, and raspberries, as well as a new mojito inspired cocktail Fidel’s Lagerito - an ingenious combination of Havana Especial topped with Estrella Damm lager for a perfect summer’s day beer garden refreshment. It’s all happening – so Rev it up. Head to www.revolution-bars.co.uk/bar/ sheffield and www.revoluciondecuba.com/bar/sheffield for more.

Well regarded in the Sharrow Vale community, Made

by Jonty is a bustling little number that’s effortlessly cool. Owned and operated by celebrated Sheffield chef Jonty Cork, think hearty, rustic dishes with only the freshest of ingredients in a chilled, friendly, homely environment.

Info: Opening Hours: Mon - Fri: 08:00 - 17:00 Sat: 09:00 17:00

THE Food

It’s lunch time and Made by Jonty is, unsurprisingly, busy (this place is uber-popular for a reason).

Taking a seat upstairs with a couple of colleagues, we sip on some fresh coffees as we check out the daily offerings on Jonty’s chalk board. And it’s quite the selection. There’s plenty here to please vegetarians but, for the meat eaters amongst us, you won’t be left wanting.

For myself, it was the Seared Beef Carpachio – super tender beef accompanied by a coriander, lime and chilli Thai rice noodle salad with tamaso peanuts.

Light and aromatic, it was a perfect Summer’s day lunch dish.

My esteemed colleagues opted for the Avocado and Mozzarella Green Egg Omelette and the Brunch Bagel respectively.

The former was a visually striking number served with tasty jalapeno corn bread and roast tomatoes, whilst the latter was Jonty’s take on a McMuffin - sausage patty, emmental, streaky bacon, herbed omelette and patatas bravas. Needless to say, you’ll never go back to a McMuffin once you’ve had one of these bad boys in your mouth. A side of chunky chips accompanied the lot.

Despite being well and truly satisfied, it’s downright rude not to try the amazing desserts while you’re here – so it was the kooky Marshmallow Flapjack, zingy Keylime Pie and a classic Bakewell tart to finish. If only every lunch hour was like this.

THE VErdicT

Jonty’s got it spot on here. An unpretentious, chilled hangout that’s actually serving up restaurant quality tucker at a fraction of the price. Be sure to experience his food and hospitality for yourself soon.

Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it? Or have a cake, a coffee, a ploughman’s and a pint and consume them all? At Couch, everyone’s tastes are their top priority.

Serving coffee, perfect for elevenses, to top-class vino for a chilled evening, Couch has a bit of everything - and it’s always an appropriate time to visit.

The choice is so overwhelming, they simply had to create a really relaxing atmosphere for the health and safety of customers. And now there’s even a choice of which Couch to go to - the industrial vibe of the shop on Campo Lane, or the soft, shabby chic of the Ecclesall Road site.

The ethos of Couch is ‘fuss-free’.

The group have discovered that a contemporary menu and great interior design doesn’t mean a place can’t be laid back. In true northern fashion, Couch has decided that they don’t do ‘Grandes’ or ‘Talls’, just ‘Big Coffee’. It’s a refreshing take on coffee culture after an age of independent businesses being overpowered and underappreciated.

The shops are both beautiful and tranquil, with free Wi-Fi so you can go and work, read, Instagram (a must) or socialise. Their beautiful beans are supplied by Union coffee, another small company that works in direct-contact trade with coffee growing communities.

So, not only are you supporting business in Sheffield, you’re helping

ploughman’s. The children’s menu is also a lovely touch - welcoming families for half-price during half terms.

The vast selection of beers, ales, ciders, wines and spirits are bound to keep you boozily busy - whilst coffee inspired cocktails are also in the pipeline. A catering service will be coming soon.

In regards to events at Couch, they’re expanding. At the moment, they’re currently showing that football thing in Brazil, but on Friday and Saturday evenings the Campo Lane premises will be putting on acoustic music. So, watch this space. Last month, the team also hosted the launch of Sheffield designer Goo – exciting times all round.

All the cakes at the cafés are also locally sourced from #Brownies and Secret Cake Club. Combined with an iced coffee or milkshake, you’ll enter Couch heaven.

Known as one of the region’s best weddinge venues, The Maynard Arms is also home to one of it’s finest restaurants We sent Nick Hallam down to give it the once over.

My old man always says that ever since I was a boy I have always picked the most expensive dish on the menu at family dinners.

I’m pretty sure that his opinion was first formed at the then Maynard Arms in Grindleford, Derbyshire. I can clearly remember at the age of 6 ordering the swordfish due to my utter fascination with bladed weapons. Thanks Lion’O, He-man, Conan et al. My sword fetish may have subsided but I have returned to the now rebranded ‘The Maynard’ many times over the years, mainly for weddings and the occasional celebration meal.

The Maynard is well renowned as one of the best wedding venues in the area with its jaw dropping grounds the backdrop to many a “your special day” photo album, but it also boasts one of the region’s best eateries. With two AA rosettes under its belt, The Maynard has earned a well-deserved reputation as a Peak District gastronomic heavyweight that sticks to its guns on local produce, seasonality, top presentation and flavour.

Outside the kitchen this privately owned boutique hotel has won admiration in term of its design - with a contemporary interior that is still adorned with all its original features. This mix of old and new is best illustrated in the lounge and dining room where traditional sits alongside the uber-modern with works by Peter Hill, Kristan Baggaley and Steve Medhi gracing the walls.

With all this in mind, I was incredibly happy to take on this assignment.

It was the Friday after magazine deadline and I was in need of a major de-stress, as was the missus who says I’m pretty much insufferable at this time of the month (fnar fnar). To be honest, so does the dog, so we brought him along too. The Maynard is 100% dog friendly (£5 surcharge) so you can bring along the pooch on your country jaunt. Fido will definitely thank you with potential walks around Padley Gorge, Hathersage and Bakewell on offer.

We left the big smoke behind us on a gorgeously sunny evening and were greeted with a smile at the reception before being shown to our superbly appointed rooms. I’m pretty sure the bed was a king size… if said king was that giant from BFG. It was massive!

My Yorkshire Terrier literally disappeared into it (don’t tell the gaffers).

As it was such a fine evening it would have been incredibly rude not to take to the grounds for a well-deserved sun downer and after a couple of long drinks we were ready for some fine dining.

With our seats overlooking the gardens we perused the menu and it read like a who’s who of Derbyshire produce and producers.

After ordering a sensational bottle of the Argentinian Malbec our starters arrived. I opted for the wood pigeon, baby leeks, butter bean puree and port reduction and my companion the cod medallion with angel hair noodles in a hot and sour broth. They couldn’t be more different dishes but they both ticked all the boxes they were supposed to.

My wood pigeon was cooked perfectly with a soft and unctuous texture and lovely light gamey flavour. The cod dish was fresh and zingy with a lightly spiced undertone and very moreish. The mains again were complete polar opposites. I rolled the dice on the rump of lamb, with my good lady taking the seabass. The lamb was melt in the mouth tender and brilliantly medium rare.

The accompanying lentil stew was a perfect texture contrast and very flavourful. The seabass dish was also a winner. The fish was so fresh and delicate and the sweetness of the peas and peppery rocket complemented the bass very well.

I’m not normally a dessert fan but with the quality so far I had to have a dabble - and the tasting of coconut certainly the right way to go. With coconut in more variations than you could shake a stick at, it was a real triumph - and a great palate cleanser after all that sublime meat. A fantastic meal was rounded off with a Chivas Regal nightcap and then it was off to bed with the anticipation of a great breakfast in the morning.

After shaking off the Malbec/single malt headache in my rooms ferociously powerful but excellent shower I can safely say I was correct on the breakfast front. Consisting of local bacon, sausage, eggs, oatcake (it’s a Derbyshire thing, m’duck), black pudding, beans, tomatoes and toast we were sufficiently reinvigorated. There is also a plethora of other breakfast staples on offer that you can help yourself to.

With the fuel levels topped up we took to the dales with Alf the dog, mainly around the beautiful Padley Gorge and made our way back to dee dar land with our luxurious night in the country soon to make way to traffic jams, bills, deadlines and terrible Sheffield football.

Treat yourself more dear readers and when you do try The Maynard. After all its only 20 minutes o’ert hill and reyt good.

It’s a sunny Sunday afternoon and we’ve just arrived at Leopold Square. Seems we’re not the only ones with the idea – as the place is buzzing. See, when the sun comes out, Leopold Square becomes Sheffield’s social central – and never more so than on Sundays when live outdoor music is the order of the day.

“It began when we hosted a one-off event on a Sunday afternoon - and it was immediately clear that regular events would be a winner at Leopold Square,” says coorganiser Ryan Taylor of TRC Live, the company he runs with colleague Martin Robinson.

“We felt that, with good programming and a bit of luck with the weather, we could transport people to a more exotic destination when they walked through the Leopold Square arched entrance.”

And exotic pretty much sums it up. Be it folks enjoying a tiki cocktail at The Bamboo Door, a chilled Prosecco at Popolo, or some Italian al fresco tucker at Strada and Zizzi, Leopold Square offers its own little oasis right in the heart of the city centre. Above us, flags from world nations wave gently in the summer breeze – while the centre of the square sees people of all ages dancing carefree to sunshine sounds (on this occasion provided by the fabulous Dizzy Club).

“To date, we’ve featured live jazz and swing, latin, reggae, funk and soul, blues, pop and even house music to provide a soundtrack for diners, drinkers and lovers of fine music,” continues Ryan. “I’ve been fortunate enough to perform with many of our acts at Leopold Square, including my favourites, The Dizzy Club. I’ve also performed here with my own original 8-piece band (Ryan Taylor Octofunk) and can honestly say that it’s one of my favourite venues to perform at. The sound’s always exceptional, the setting and atmosphere is perfect - and our loyal fans and Leopold Square gig-goers always give us their positive energy to feed on. It also helps that the outlets have amazing food and drink menus – there’s nothing worse than thirsty musicians!”

It’s nigh on impossible to not get chatting to someone here. Indeed, within seconds of arriving we were greeted with a wave of recognisable, smiling faces – all intent on making some magical memories.

“A particular highlight for me would have to be Tramlines. Leopold Square is the official Jazz Stage for the event and we’ve been blessed with amazing weather for it,” smiles Ryan. “Last year saw a packed square - and I remember a dance-off taking place. It goes without saying that we’re really looking forward to Tramlines 2014.”

With Summer 2014 in Leopold Square already well underway, and with some top new artists added to the roster (including Carmen Ghia and The Hotrods, The Phil Johnson Hammond Trio and Matt Hurt Salsa Band), it would seem it truly is hip to be square. See you there, Sheffield.

Doc/Fest 2014

Our man, Van Connor ,donned his wet suit and dived straight into this year’s Doc/Fest. Be thankful we talked him out of skinny dipping…

If legend is to be believed, Henry Ford once responded to the outbreak of World War II by saying “this changes nothing. Increase production.”

It’s a quote that leapt to mind when Doc/ Fest 2014 opened amidst the heaviest onslaught of rain seen so far this year.

“People need to know they’ll be missing out”, festival programmer Hussain Currimbhoy told me whilst gazing into the downpour. And if they had been foolish enough to let the rain put them off, they most certainly would have.

Now in its twenty-first year, the Sheffield International Documentary Festival has lost none of the steam that established it early on as an industry powerhouse.

Having now spread from the Showroom cinema up to Fargate itself, and consuming every venue in between, there was a veritable buzz in the air that reached an infectious level within the opulent pop-up festival lounge in Tudor Square. A self-contained inflatable village replete with customburger and sushi kiosks, a bar and even wifi; it swiftly became the nerve centre for proceedings and a comfortable place to unwind between the countless screenings and Q&As. Without doubt, the standout film this year was Mark Craig’s The Last Man On The Moon - a chronicle of the life of Apollo 17’s Gene Cernan, and for which

Cernan himself made the journey for a Q&A afterwards. Special note should also be made of An Honest Liar, an engaging, funny and often touching exploration of the life and times of The Amazing Randi - a magician who made it his life’s mission to expose fraudulent psychics. Clearly a future Netflix favourite of magic fans everywhere, An Honest Liar was a genuine crowd pleaser and was noticeably still being championed by smiling crowds in the festival lounge days later.

With more outdoor events and (yes) cave screenings than ever before, Doc/ Fest continues to serve unrivalled as the premier destination for documentary lovers the world over. Fair enough, the weather was a tad schizophrenic in leaping between sunshine and monsoon, but that’s only a minor complaint when the pickings are as good as those Doc/ Fest offers.

Same time next year! Van Connor.

BEAUTIFUL, AUTHENTIC, HONEST PHOTOGRAPHY FOR MUSICIAN, BASED IN THE HEART OF SHEFFIELD. FOLLOW @BACKSTAGEUKTV

By Joe Food and rachel Heward

DaviD graY MUTInEErS For me, listening to David Gray is more appealing as you get older – like having a girlfriend… or eating hummus.

Cautiously pressing play I brace myself - expecting an imminent assault on the heartstrings – yet, surprisingly, the album begins in upbeat fashion with first track, ‘Back In The World’ – a simple, soulful track, perfectly appropriate for a dashboard-drumming driving playlist. But, fear not!

Those expecting the melancholic, starry-eyed, ‘the one that got away’ shtick which Gray usually delivers will not be disappointed. Tracks, ‘Beautiful Agony’ and ‘Birds of the High Arctic ’ are testament to his prowess in emotive songwriting, and serve as passionate highlights in an album which flows beautifully, pulling the listener across a range of emotions and making you question why you thought he was such as douche in the first place. Relaxing and riveting in equal proportion - It looks like ‘Mutineers’ will receive plenty of this year’s loving. JF 7/10

tHe moons MInDWaVES

tHe ramona Flowers DISManTLE anD rEBUILD

sHammi pitHia COSMIC

‘Mindwaves’ gets off to a rocketing start from the onset with, ‘Luna’ - whose orchestral undertones blend with the roll of tribal drums and a psychedelic guitar riff.

Continuing on par, the next few tracks offer an astounding mix of rock ‘n’ roll vibes whilst layering catchy yet wellcrafted lyrics on top of strings, a rhythmic pounding of drums and the odd trumpet.

Top tracks would definitely be the Bowie-esque ‘Heart and Soul’, the lively ‘Fever’ and the wonderfully kaleidoscopic ‘You Can’t Slow Me Down’ - pay attention to the ending of this one in particular.

‘Mindwaves’ had a lot to live up to after the critically acclaimed ‘Life On Earth’ and ‘Fables of History’, not to mention the Paul Weller connections and obvious influence that has seeped its way into The Moons’ records.

Undoubtedly though, this is a triumphant third. RH 9/10.

This is an album that is made to be remixed. That’s not saying it isn’t good as it is, there’s just so much you could do with it. Indeed, through a spout of vigorous touring, the band have drawn the attention from the likes of Alt-J, Hot Chip and Everything Everything – all of whom have offered remixes. Spanning genres and meshing together electronica and indie-pop in a way reminiscent of Portishead and The XX, ‘Dismantle and Rebuild’ has a sublime edge to it, dark at times as with ‘Modern World’, then uplifting at others as with the aptly named, ‘Brighter’.

This is a solid debut that is begging to be played around with. Trust us, The Ramona Flowers will be all over the festival season like mud on a welly boot. RH 7/10

Creative composer and producer, Shammi Pithia, releases his second album to an eager British fan-base after impressive performances at Glastonbury, The Great Escape, London Mela and BT London Live. Through the use of deep beats, piano, chords, percussions, melodies, and beautifully evocative vocals (see track ‘Under The Stars’), Shammi forges soundscapes which render the listener feeling as though they’re moving through a cerebral art gallery, inspecting and getting a feel of each piece before being whisked away to another. Good electronica can make the mind vaguely drift to another place, whereas this album carefully transports you there, encases you in its culture for a few moments, let’s you make up your own mind - then gently nudges you elsewhere. JF 7/10

PumPING oN mI stereo

Say what you like about Robbie Williams. No, seriously, say what you like about him – he’s stinking rich and a bit a bell-end, let’s be honest. But, I strongly oppose the criticism that he received for this album. It’s bloody brilliant. A collection of swing classics, including a near perfect rendition of ‘Mr Bojangles’ and a poignant appearance from Frankie in ‘It Was a Very Good Year’ cemented this as one of my favourite easy listening records ever. It’s nothing on the Rat Pack, but Robbie made a good fist of this. It’s just a shame he invited his irksome mates Jon Wilkes & Rupert Everett along to the party. Joe Food

tHree DaYs to kill

beHinD it: McG

in it:

Kevin Costner, Hailee Steinfeld, Connie Nielsen

How to train Your Dragon 2

beHinD it:

Dean DeBlois

in it:

Jay Baruchel, Cate Blanchett, Gerard Butler

Taking cues from both Toy Story 2 and The Empire Strikes Back as regards world-building, character evolution and new engaging story developments, How To Train Your Dragon 2 is a sequel that looks in admiration at its enjoyable predecessor and blows off the shackles holding it back from becoming an utterly brilliant franchise.

Five years after convincing his Viking brethren that dragons were not the evil killing machines they believed, life is different in the village of Berk. Humans and dragons live in harmony in a newly balanced society that young lead Hiccup (and his faithful dragon Toothless) embrace through the newly attained ability to explore the outside world. Not everyone holds such a warm view of dragons however, as Hiccup soon discovers when he encounters a band of malicious tyrants intent on using their own

from the vaults

enslaved army of dragons to conquer Berk and every other land.

There’s a genuine intelligence and depth to Dragon 2 that - in the wake of paint-by-numbers sequels such as the recent Rio 2 - is a pleasant surprise. As with the first movie, the voice casting is spot-on - newcomers Cate Blanchett and Kit Harington are terrific additions - and the well-defined, sharply written story of the original is built upon with great care yet never at the expense of genuine spectacle. Events matter in a sense that lifts the movie above being “just a sequel” and instead grants it a feeling of genuine evolution. Visually it’s astonishing; with even the 3D enjoyable save for (yet again) the requisite light loss darkening proceedings. Fun for all the family - it’s powerful, moving and an incredibly enjoyable animated romp.

empire recorDs

Summer’s hot and Tramlines is here, so there’s only one candidate for your delectation this month, this absolute gem from 1995.

It’s the story of a misfit group of music shop employees trying to stop, at all costs, their shop/personal drop-in centre being taken over by the token soulless corporation. They’re not exactly a crack team though. There’s a reason this is a cult flick, it’s charming, funny and timeless. The DVD should be issued to everyone who ever wants a feel good summer evening drinking movie. With a cast that have gone on to great things, you’ll also be wondering how certain people were ever that young.

Damn the Man! Save the Empire! Get the beers in, your friends round, kick back and enjoy.

With this film you can’t be down, no not on Rex Manning Day. Bo Jangles.

Noticeably marketed as being “from the makers of Taken” and not “from the director of Charlie’s Angels”, it’s apparent throughout 3 Days To Kill that director McG has seemingly taken his years of critical savaging to heart and is trying to do something more bolted down than his usual brand of excessive CGI-enhanced action-pastiche nonsense.

Kevin Costner plays Ethan Renner, a terminally ill CIA operative given a series of life-saving injections in exchange for taking down an international terror cell. Renner finds himself tackling an even more delicate mission however, when his wife leaves him to take care of his estranged teenage daughter (a clearly betterthan-this Hailee Steinfeld).

A bizarre hodgepodge of a typical Liam Neeson thriller and Getting Even With Dad, even the title of 3 Days To Kill makes no sense (he has months to live, no timer on his mission). The family scenes fail to gel with the action set-up, the story fails to generate momentum and even on the action front, there’s nothing new to be gleaned here. Costner and Heard are great - but it’s only worth watching if you actually have three days to kill and nothing better to do.

Fault in our stars

beHinD it: Josh Boone

in it:

Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, Nat Wolff

A big hit with coffee-house readers worldwide, the love story between cancer patient Hazel Lancaster and her recovering soulmate Gus Waters has all the hallmarks (in marketing anyway) of ultimately being “The Notebook with cancer”.

Former Divergent co-stars Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort take on the star-crossed leads with unwavering confidence and conviction, the pair perfectly balancing the Gen-X sensibility of the movie’s cancer and mortality stance with a robust charm that ensures neither character outstays their runtime. In the case of Elgort whose character is imbued with a sort of playful arrogance - it’s particularly impressive; while Woodley is a sight to behold, with heaps of screen presence and acting chops to match. Elsewhere, Laura Dern puts in a stellar supporting turn, and an appearance by Willem Dafoe is always welcome.

With a restrained yet artistic eye from director Boone, The Fault In Our Stars works as a very solid, sparky and engaging romantic drama. It handles both the romance and cancer aspects with charm and packs in two of the best lead performances of any film so far this year.

1000 meXICaNs Where: laNterN theatre WheN: maY 29

Back in the Eighties, lots of Sheffield bands were nipping away at the heels of the music press, and one such group, 1000 Mexicans, looked set to do particularly well. They even made the cover of Sounds, so highly were they regarded, but sadly it all came to nothing. But for the legions of eager fans the wait is finally over because they’re back! Well, two of them are. In a slimmed down version they played the Lantern Theatre to a small but enthusiastic group of friends and fans, and even threw in some newly composed material. Opening up tonight was Peter Garwin as the Garwin Project. His solo show was a computer and keyboard excursion to a world where Tangerine Dream and Jean-Michel Jarre meet Kraftwerk and Daft Punk. The graphic projections behind him were endlessly fascinating, and were all synchronised with his pulsing, retro electronic music. I need to see more of this. For the main event of tonight, Michael and Andrew are now the reanimated 1000 Mexicans, and they have given them a modern twist. The sounds they can reproduce on stage now are so much more sophisticated than they were last time they played as a band in the eighties, and demonstrated why it’s good to have them back. Their songs are interesting and melodic, with Michael and Andrew sharing vocal duties. Despite being reduced to a duo, they played a range of instruments, although as Andrew pointed out when the introduction to one song started at the wrong speed, ‘We could do with a drummer’.

Not true at all, they perfectly recreated the sound of post-punk Sheffield, and with more dates lined up, and new material written, you should be able to catch their entertaining set soon.

PeaCe IN the ParK

Where: PoNDerosa ParK WheN: JuNe 14

The best things in life are free, like Exposed, and for that matter, Peace in the Park! After taking a break in 2013, the iconic festival was back and it felt like everyone in Sheffield had turned up. There was so much to see and do: the Yoga Space, the Healing Tent, plenty of craft stalls and food vendors, the Comedy and Cabaret Tent and, of course, the music, which was spread across fi ve stages. Bison and Steel City Rhythm stormed the Main Stage, while the likes of Off Me Nut and 20Hz Soundsystem kept everyone moving in the DJ Tent.

But the real triumph of PitP is the way it brings everyone together - it’s not often you get to see a community coming together in such a positive way.

Then as the sun began to set, attention turned to Peace in the Dark, the yearly free party that takes place at night.

Details were released late on and everyone scrambled to make their way across Sheffield towards Ladybower Reservoir; various sound systems filled a valley just off the Snake Pass and, doing their best to ignore the swarms of midges, the revellers partied well into Sunday.

The weather was smashing, and, basically, days like this are as close to perfect as you can ask for.

aBaNDomaN

Where: CItY hall WheN: JuNe 5

Abandoman is Rob Broderick, a quick-thinking, extremelytalented fellow - and his Moonrock Boombox Tour visited the Memorial Hall (Sheffield City Hall’s smaller venue) on June 5.

There were probably around 100 people in the crowd, but this deserved more - it’s one of the funniest and most creative acts I’ve seen in a while. The basic premise is that Rob pulls audience members up on stage or asks them for ideas that he then spins into fully-fledged freestyle raps; there’s a live backing band, but the focus is mainly on Rob. His first number was ‘What’s In Your Pocket?’. After asking everyone to rummage through their pockets for something

interesting and hold it aloft, Rob walked around the room, grabbing items and riffing on them. Later he turned his attention to the middle-class problems of one audience member, then the romance between a couple sat in the front row. I was even dragged on stage after suggesting zero gravity would make a great addition to the world’s greatest party. You can’t help getting swept up in the show - and by the end of it you’ve witnessed a unique communal event that you helped create. My only qualm is that it wasn’t longer! Truly impressive.

Joe E. Allen.

PICK O’ THE MONTH

JULY NOTED By now, we’re all lying awake at night, scared out of our wits that our unstable, unpredictable friend ‘summer’ will come and go without us making the most of it. Never fear; here at Exposed, we’ve got your back.

If our prayers are answered, there’s plenty of things to do in the sunshine - like the 5th Wartime Weekend and Vintage Fayre at Kelham Island Museum on the 1213th, the Sharrow Vale Market on the 20th, and of course, the Grand Depart of the Tour De France on the 6th.

If tragic open air theatre is more your bag, Heartbreak Productions will be performing Macbeth from the 3-6th in the Botanical Gardens. And, just in case it (inevitably?) pours, you won’t be found wanting on the indoor activity front. The Sheffield Festival of Colour Space & Light, a walk-in inflatable art installation, pops up at Sheffield Cathedral from the 3rd – whilst the Showroom is showing National Theatre Live: Skylight on the 17th as part of their ‘Stage on Screen’ escapades. A bit of Bill Nighy and Carey Mulligan may be the perfect antidote for hopes extinguished by wet weather.

Enjoy.

Starry Eyed We collared JB Gill for a quick chinwag about his Sheffield Show Business School. Words: Samantha Thomas.

There were plenty of star struck students leaving the grounds of Sheffield City College on June 4, after they were given the chance to meet JB Gill - the all-singing, all-dancing former member of JLS. Turns out JB is the brains behind a brand new Show Business School at the college – which gives students the opportunity to achieve a recognised qualification in both the performing and practical skills needed to establish their talent as a business.

So, last year you visited your old school in Croydon to talk about the music industry there. Why the move to Sheffield?

Sheffield College got in touch with me and said they were looking at running a vocational course for the entertainment core. I said I’d love to do something like that, but I didn’t want it to just focus on the performance side of things. I wanted it to also focus on the educational side, because there’s so much more involved in the music industry, so many pitfalls that I wish somebody could have told me about.

I really want to equip the next generation

and the generations after for when they go into the industry. Also, if they’re performers or aspiring artists, rather than just trying to make it in on one discipline, the course incorporates the benefits of a fall-back plan.

What will the educational side of the course entail?

The course really transfers an in-depth knowledge of everything that goes on behind the scenes as part of the entertainment industry. So there’s going to be experience in contractual law, experience in finances, copyright and publishing - things like that. This means you could be an aspiring writer and actually be able to benefit from the course. Every different part of the entertainment industry needs these skills, and it’s really important for the talent especially to know every aspect of what you’re getting involved in.

How has your experience in JLS informed your idea of what’s important for the course?

I was quite lucky in that my mum runs her

own business and was a huge mentor for me as I was growing up. In the beginning, I sent my mum a lot of my contracts! She’s always encouraged me to learn as much as I can, and that’s always been pivotal in my business knowledge. I wanted to apply this knowledge to JLS - and I dare say that’s why we were successful as we were. We had a great run, we did so much, and we didn’t really have a bad experience - because we had the knowledge.

Marvin, who was in a band previously, also really helped us to get the hang of things like photo shoots - and even improve our work ethic. The fact that sometimes you have to work 15-20 hour days is something that people don’t realise. Often, some of the horror stories about artists being grumpy are due to the fact they have worked really, really hard to get to that stage. They’re just tired!

The course is about equipping the students to survive all of this.

With all this in mind, what do you think about Mr. Gove’s idea to scrap ‘easier’, more vocational subjects at GCSE? I think education is education. And I think no one can discount the fact that experience is as much education as sitting in a classroom and doing an exam. You cannot have one without the other; if you do GCSEs and A Levels, you go on to do work experience. I wanted to stress that there’s an educational and exam element to the show business course at Sheffield City College, but there’s also real experience, a combination that will benefit you going into any entertainment career.

For more information on the course’s start-up in September, visit www.sheffcol. ac.uk. For the latest news about JB’s School of Entertainment Industries, visit www. twitter.com/JBSEI.

LISTINGS EVENTS

C H I L DS PLAY

The Only Way Is Essex fashionista, Amy Childs, hit Meadowhall last month to showcase her new summer collection with Dorothy Perkins. The launch was part of Meadowhall’s Ladies’ Night, a now-yearly event giving the women of Sheffield a chance to enjoy an evening of fashion, food, fun and firstclass entertainment. Joe E. Allen took the opportunity to have a quick chat with Amy before she was mobbed by a line of adoring fans - all wanting selfies with the lady herself.

Can you tell us a bit about your new line with Dorothy Perkins and the inspiration for it?

“I’ve just gone into ten flagship stores, Meadowhall’s one of them, and Dorothy Perkins online - they’ve all got the Amy Childs Collection. I love collections, I love clothes, I love fashion. My inspiration came a couple of years ago.

My young fans came to me and said ‘Why can’t you bring a fashion line out?’ and I said ‘OK.’ So I spent a good year designing and I’ve done really well - I’ve gone into Lipsy, I’m in BANK, but obviously Dorothy Perkins is my main one now.”

How involved are you in the process?

“Everything. I see everything. I’m now starting drawing, which is amazing, and I never would have thought I’d be doing that. I’ve got buyers, I’ve got a major team behind me, and I think I’ve got to be involved in it, because that’s

Exposed Meets Amy Childs. my business, that’s my brand. I’m passionate about my collection because I know it’s doing really, really well - and people love it!”

So this is what you’re focusing on for the time being?

“Definitely. My focus is on my collection, my brand. I’ve just launched an instant spray tan as well. I love being on the TV, I absolutely love it, but for the time being this is what I’m gonna be doing - because when TOWIE finishes I’ve got a brand there still. You’ve gotta be quite sensible with it.”

Who do you see as your style icon?

“I would say Victoria Beckham. I absolutely love her collection, I love her look - she’s really classic. Yeah, I do like a little bit of VB. I’ve got a few of her dresses and they’re lovely.”

Aside from working on your collections what else do you have in the pipeline?

“I’ve done TOWIE, I’ve done Big Brother, I’ve done my own TV show, I’ve done The Jump - I’ve done all the big shows - and I’d always wanted to do Big Brother. I’ve got a few bits of TV coming up, it’s exciting. I love being on the TV, I have such a laugh, and that’s what I miss about TOWIE ‘cos I had such a laugh on that show.”

What do you think about the current crop of people on TOWIE? “Do you know what? I think TOWIE’s a great show. I still watch it, I still absolutely love it. My cousin Harry’s going back in a couple of weeks so I can’t wait to watch him on the show. Everyone says to me ‘Amy, can you just please come back.’ I’ve always said maybe one day I’ll come back… but the time is not right at the minute.”

So maybe a return in the future?

“I’ll shock everybody and not tell anybody!”

Finally, have you got a message for the people of Sheffield?

“I do. I love this shopping centre - and I can’t wait to come back!”

THE RATELLS @ The Rocking Chair, Furnival Gate. Since last June these guys have been working their way through stages across the country with their alternative indie sounds. With their tours quickly selling out, grab tickets fast! Doors 7pm, Tickets from £5.

WEDNESDAY 2

MASSY FERGUSON AND DAVE WOODCOCK & THE DEAD COMEDIANS @ The Greystones, Greystones Road.

Massy Ferguson is a band that plays music perfectly suited to dark, crowded rooms in which there’s at least a possibility of a beer glass smashing against a wall. The songs, filled with barflies, broken hearts and doomed late-night romance, would sound pretty good anywhere, though. Think Springsteen’s “Greetings From Asbury Park” or “Nebraska.” Those are all influences, as is 1970s Southern rock and good-time classic rock bands like Thin Lizzy. Doors 8pm.

Tickets from £7. www.mygreystones.co.uk DJANGONAUTS @ The Lescar, Sharrowvale Road. In honour of The Tour de France, a Gallic extravaganza!

GNIDROLOG @ The Greystones, Greystones Road. The Goldring Brothers are responding to huge pressure from fans and present an intimate, up close, and at the

Hot female foursome, Neon Jungle, hit the Motorpoint Arena this month – as part of the line-up for Hallam FM Summer Live which also features the likes of The Vamps, Kaiser Chiefs and Little Mix. We took to the jungle drums for a chat with band member Shereen Cutkelvin.

Hi Shereen, you guys haven’t actually been around that long (they formed early 2013), but you’ve achieved a hell of a lot already – namely three popular singles and a tour with Jessie J… I know, it’s been amazing, the time’s really flown – it’s not even been a year and half! We’re so happy with how things have gone. Jessie was really nice too, a very polished performer, and a great experience for us.

What’s the best bit and worst bit about being in a girl group?

Hmmm, I guess just having someone to talk to all the time is the best bit. We do a lot of travelling, that’s probably the worst bit – four girls crammed in a car for hours can be a squeeze - so I’m glad we have each other to talk to.

CAFE CULTURAL

WHERE: HUBS WHEN: 13 JULY Here in Sheffield we’re lucky to have such a variety of nationalities represented, and it’s largely thanks to our two universities attracting students from all over the world. Cafe Cultural is a society at Sheffield Hallam University seeking to showcase the city’s rich cultural diversity through nights of music, dance, poetry and more, and it all sounded like a good old knees up so we popped down to the HUBS for the June event. We got to see some Kenyan poetry, Russian singing, tango dancing and an international cover band, and everything was free - even the snacks! It was the society’s third event this year, and they’re planning another in October for the new semester, so if you’re an international student looking to meet new people or just want to experience live performances from around the globe, make sure to visit the group’s Facebook page (‘Cafe Cultural Sheffield’) for more updates.

However, Fanny’s childhood is a lonely one as she is never allowed to forget her place. Acutely conscious of her inferior status, she dares to love their son Edmund – but from afar. However, with five eligible young people on the premises, the peace at Mansfield cannot last. Although Fanny Price is unlike any of Austen’s previous heroines, she is the product of the same inspired imagination. Tickets £12.
