BP Insurance Brokers A new location and new services to care for your insurance needs Arranging the right insurance is an essential part of simply getting on in life. The age of the internet has opened our eyes to all kinds of offers, comparisons and what might look like great deals – but at the end of the day it’s so much better to be able to talk to a person face to face. Insurance is for peace of mind, can you get that via e-mail contact alone?

It’s a philosophy that has served Lancashire firm BP Insurance Brokers well. With four branches across the area, they’ve been a familiar face on local high streets for over fifty years, and the company’s growth means that their Cleveleys office has now moved to new, larger premises.

independent broker, we’re not tied to any particular insurance provider, which means we can search the insurance market to find a policy that provides the right kind of cover but won’t break the bank. In particular, we currently have some very competitive motor premiums for experienced, mature drivers. Our new location is the perfect place for us to introduce customers to the insurance products we have available, whilst offering an even higher level of service.”

But then he has just got a fantastic deal on his car insurance.

BP Insurance Brokers’ new office is just a few doors up the road from the previous Cleveleys site, at Shadow House, 164-166 Victoria Road West, FY5 3NE, and will offer all the services customers are used to.

Branch manager David Southern explains: “We’re always looking Call 01253 863636, email for useful services we can offer cleveleys@bpib.co.uk or visit our customers, such as specialist www.bpib.co.uk for more 148 Victoria Road West | Cleveleys | FY5 3NE motor policies and competitive details.

Funeral Planner of the year J T Byrne Funeral Directors named regional Funeral Planner of the Year and received a nomination within the top 3 in the country.

T

hornton-Cleveleys and Fleetwood funeral director J T Byrne Funeral Directors has been named the best mid-sized funeral planner in the West Lancashire & Merseyside area and also named within the top 3 in the country at 2015’s Funeral Planner of the Year awards.

The win came during a competitive year. Run by market leading funeral plan provider Golden Charter, the awards are the biggest gathering of independent funeral directors in the UK, with this year’s event the largest ever held.

The funeral director’s John Byrne said: “We are delighted to have won this prestigious award for the fourth year running. This reflects upon the support we receive from the local community. We are proud to be at the forefront of helping families at their time of need and providing Golden Charter funeral plans.

J T Byrne are a family business supporting families.

Ronnie Wayte, Golden Charter’s Chief Executive, said: “In their 22nd year the awards are more competitive than ever before, with funeral plans continuing to grow in popularity. This award is well earned proof that J T Byrne Funeral Directors has reached a remarkable standard.”

The Funeral Planner of the Year Awards focus on the funeral planning achievements of independent funeral directors, who make up a growing majority of the funeral industry. With recent Mintel figures showing that the average price of funerals has increased 88% in the past ten years to £3,609, more people are choosing to use pre-paid funeral plans to freeze the cost of the funeral director’s services at today’s prices.

Enjoy the classic sounds of James Last at Marine Hall, Fleetwood

T

here’s a night of big band in store on Friday 3 June as The Mike James Orchestra and Singers perform sounds from the swing era alongside modern day classics in the style of James Last at Marine Hall, Fleetwood.

The Mike James Orchestra and Singers is a vibrant, professional big band consisting of a powerful signature brass section, whip tight rhythm and talented soloists and vocalists all led by the earthy charm and boyish enthusiasm of Mike James himself, one of Britain’s best and most enduring band leaders.

Inspired as a boy by seeing the legendary Count Basie live in concert, Mike dreamed of touring the world with an orchestra of his own. He achieved this in the 1970s, playing on board prestigious cruise ships with his band, performing every night alongside classic entertainers such as Bob Hope, Petula Clarke, Vera Lynn, Bob Monkhouse, Jimmy Tarbuck and Vic Damone.

The success continued through the decades with shows for international royalty, yet more cruises around the world, seasons and events in Kuwait, Bahrain and all across the Middle East and appearances in two Hollywood feature films and soundtracks with Michael Douglas and Melanie Griffiths.

For over three decades now, Mike James has led his band with his characteristic exuberance and he shows little signs of stopping.

18

Mike is no stranger to Fleetwood and comments, “As a boy I used to go to my aunts who had a bed and breakfast in Fleetwood. In those days Marine Hall had a resident band that was booked for the summer season. They would play each night in the Marine Hall for concerts and shows and then they would play a few afternoons in the gardens for such things as beauty and talent competitions.

“I used to sit on the grass and dream about having my own band and playing at Marine Hall. I have been lucky to play all over the world and have done TV, radio and even a Hollywood film, but never played at Marine Hall, so this is a dream come true!”

A perfect mixture of youth and experience, classic and contemporary, the orchestra’s vast repertoire includes timeless big band classics, swing and rock and roll, soul, blues, Latin, salsa and chart hits from now right back to the 50s. This brand new show consists of almost nonstop and unforgettable numbers from the revered swing era such as Woodchoppers Ball, In the Mood and Sing, Sing, Sing to the popular vocal and instrument numbers of today including My Heart Will Go On, How Deep is Your Love and Sweet Caroline.

Add to this classical favourites, iconic film pieces and theatre music all played in that happy music style that made Last famous.

The Mike James Orchestra and Singers are performing In The Style of Last at Marine Hall on Friday 3 June at 7.30pm, tickets are £15, call 01253 887693 or visit www.marinehall.co.uk to book.

Tickets flew everywhere causing much havoc and mayhem.

There was a variety of wonderful masks of every colour. ‘Scottie’ provided the music and compared the evening, he also helped guests part with their money for the Charity, which raised nearly £1000.

Carlton and Casey entertained with a medley of songs for free and the Big Red Box Company took photography for all the guests to purchase. A big thank you must be made to Lion Val Barton and her team who spent many hours organising the event and decorating the ballroom
