Competition

THE CHRISTIANS and HUE & CRY play WAKEFIELD - Warehouse 23 on Friday 25th May 2018!

THE CHRISTIANS, are an outstanding, soul influenced group who had hits in the late 80’s and 90’s including ‘Forgotten Town’, ‘Harvest For The World’, ‘Born Again’, ‘Ideal World’, and ‘Hooverville’.

Followed up their 1987 self-titled million selling debut album with the number one hit album ‘Colour’ in 1990, which heralded the magnificent tracks ‘Words’ and ‘Father’, while The Daily Mirror described the voice of Garry Christian as “the best voice of the decade”.

4

Fast forward to 2017 and the group – are still headed by their unique selling point ... the smooth toned Garry Christian and sound ‘tighter’ than ever before with Mr Christian’s voice being perfectly complimented by keyboards by Mike Triggs, Drums – Lionel Duke, Acoustic Guitar and Vocals Neil Griffiths, Electric Guitar – Joey Ankrah, bass guitar – Cliff Watson ... Garry sounds (and looks) better than ever. Their set includes all the old hits (sounding remarkably slick) and a taste of the new album plus a rumoured comedy entertainment by frontman Garry.

HUE & CRY Brothers Patrick and Gregory Kane formed

To contact

which received rave reviews. To date Hue and Cry have sold in excess of two million records worldwide.

Hue and Cry in 1983, the duo made a huge impact in the late 80’s with the albums ‘Seduced and Abandoned’ and ‘Remote’ as well as the massive hit singles such as ‘Labour of Love.’ Albums like ‘Stars Crash Down’ and ‘Jazz Not Jazz’ ensured Hue and Cry’s continued triumph in the 1990’s, whilst the release of the hugely applauded ‘Open Soul’ in 2008 brought them firmly back into the limelight. The release of their seasonal album ‘Xmasday’ (2009) and live album ‘Bitter Suite, Again’ (2010), preceded the release of ‘Hot Wire’ (2012)

Hue and Cry have sold tens of thousands of concert tickets worldwide, as well as performing alongside some of the greatest artists in music history, appearing with U2, James Brown, Madonna, Al Green and Van Morrison to name but a few. The duo were recognised by their peers when they were presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Scottish Music Awards.

Hue and Cry perform as a two piece ‘stripped’ line up.

Property

Legal Q&A: What to consider before you invest in a buy-to-let property?

Our lawyer advises how to avoid the buy-to-let investment traps Question: We have some savings and my wife wants us to get a buy-to-let property as she feels it would provide a good pension for us. We know very little about property — having lived in the same house we bought 37 years ago — and even less about investment property. Do you have any pointers for us?

Answer: Consider how much of your savings you can afford to spend on the property and where it should be located. Decide whether you want a flat or a house.

Ensure there are no restrictive covenants banning letting, or restricting the way the property may be let.

6

Decide whether you wish to undertake holiday letting or have more long-term tenants, and if you wish to let the place furnished or unfurnished. You should also consider the energy performance of any property as you have to provide that information when letting. A

written tenancy agreement will be needed, and there are strict requirements for protecting tenants’ deposits.

The property will need to be maintained and various legal requirements for letting will need to be satisfied — for example, the provision of a Gas Safe Certificate and checking the identity of any prospective tenant, to verify their immigration status.

Budget carefully, taking into account the particular expenses you will face. These include the additional stamp duty that will apply to an investment property; surveyor’s fees; legal fees and the cost of furniture if you decide to let the place furnished.

If the property increases in value, then capital gains tax may be payable, as the property will not be your principal private residence. Income tax may be payable on the rent you receive. And remember that you may have void periods when you have no tenants and therefore no rental income.

Consider discussing your options with a good letting agent and your solicitor.

These answers can only be a very brief commentary on the issues raised and should not be relied on as legal advice. No liability is accepted for such reliance. If you have similar issues, you should obtain advice from a solicitor.

House & Home

Buy your first home in ten easy steps: first-time buyer advice from stamp duty to budgeting.

They say that buying a home is one of the most stressful things you can do, especially when you’re doing it for the first time. Property lawyer Christine Tompkin gives the lowdown on the process.

8

1. KNOW YOUR BUDGET To get a sense of how much you can afford, talk to a mortgageadviser Most estate agents will require proof of your budget, so apply for an “Agreement in Principle” from a mortgage lender.

This involves providing a bank, building society or mortgage broker with your financial details so they can work out how much they will be willing to lend you.

You’ll usually need a 10 per cent deposit, plus a mortgage, which will be a maximum of 4.5 times your salary, or combined salaries if buying with another person.

If you’re buying a new-build, you might be entitled to Help to Buy (an equity loan from the government which can reduce your deposit to five per cent) or shared-ownership (where you buy a percentage of the property and rent the rest, usually from a housing association).

Other significant costs to consider are stamp duty and solicitors’ fees. These will easily add a few thousand pounds to your bill and can’t be added to your mortgage.

2. FINDING A FIRST HOME Find out what’s for sale using a property portal such as Rightmove.

Talk to local estate agents, who will have a lowdown on the market and book a range of viewings in an area so you can

compare and contrast.

If you’re buying in an unfamiliar area, visit the property at different times of day and speak to locals to get a better feel for what the neighbourhood is like.

3. BEFORE PUTTING IN AN OFFER One-bedroom flats come in all shapes and sizes, so work out the price per square foot and use this to compare with other properties to be sure you’re getting good value.

Also, look at recently sold prices in the area you want to buy in on Land Registry to check you’re paying the right amount.

Many factors will have an impact on the price, from a property’s location to whether it has any outside space.

House & Home 4. MAKING AN OFFER Negotiate a price you think is fair.

This may be the asking price or a little above or below.

Remember that both you and the seller can pull out, right up until the exchange of contracts, so, to reduce the risk of being gazumped, ask for the property to be taken off the market as soon as your offer is accepted.

This includes removing the property’s details from all the websites where it has been listed.

5. SECURING THE SALE You’ll need a solicitor to manage your purchase. Ask estate agents, friends or relatives for recommendations and get quotes from three firms.

10

We recommend you go with the one you think will provide the best service, not necessarily the cheapest.

6. GETTING A SURVEY It’s important to get a survey to ensure there are no significant problems with the building because it’s your responsibility to discover any defects. Once you exchange contracts, you will not be entitled to compensation if you discover any problems.

7. PREPARE TO BE PATIENT It typically takes three months to get all the paperwork in order.

Keep in regular contact with your solicitor as there may be information you can provide to speed up the process.

8. EXCHANGE This is when you transfer your deposit to your solicitor and sign contracts. Then your solicitor and the seller’s solicitor exchange contracts. If you pull out of buying the property after exchange of contracts you are not entitled to your deposit back.

9. COMPLETION Your solicitor should now be in receipt of the total balance – both the deposit and the mortgage funds from your lender. On the agreed date, your solicitor sends the total balance to the seller’s solicitor. Once they confirm receipt, the keys will be given to you.

10. NEXT STEPS Your solicitor should register your title to the property and submit a stamp duty return. You’ll have 30 days to pay the full balance.

You should also speak to your solicitor about making a declaration of trust or cohabitation agreement if you have bought with another person. This will set out what will happen if you eventually decide to rent out or sell the property.

When buying any property always seek professional legal advice.

Motoring

What cars are people buying around the world?

Motoring enthusiast Tracey Ousby takes a look at the cars that sell in big volumes around the globe - you may be surprised at her findings!

CHINA: Wuling Hongguang (right) Sales: 533,950 Price: from £6,900 China may be the prize market for many premium brands, but the country’s number one seller is the Wuling Hongguang. It’s a low-cost people carrier built in partnership with SAIC and GM. A spacious cabin makes it very popular, though performance is lower down the order thanks to small capacity, tax-friendly, engines. Sales are down from 650,000 units in 2016.

12

The China car market as a whole grew 2.5% to 24.2 million units in 2017 versus 2016.

USA: Ford F-Series (below) Sales: 896,764 Price: from £20,775 When talking new vehicle sales in the USA, there’s only one game in town and it’s called the Ford F-Series. This pick-up has been heading the rankings for 35 years and shows no signs of letting up thanks to a wide range of engines and body options. It’s also a lot of car for the money to appeal to cost-conscious buyers.

Although the overall US market dipped 2% yearon-year, F-Series unit sales rose 9%, helped by the successful introduction of the new Super Duty variant.

JAPAN: Honda N-Box (right) Sales: 218,478 Price: from £9,100 Japanese buyers are nothing

Please mention

if not fickle followers of fashion, so the Toyota Prius has been ditched in favour of the Honda N-Box as the best seller in 2017. The N-Box is a cute kei car – just 3395mm (134in), yet the cabin is very spacious and stylish, and you can even order one with allwheel drive.

Japan’s market as a whole rose 5% year-on-year in 2017.

UK: Ford Fiesta Sales: 96,454 Price: from £13,165 For the eighth year in a row, the Ford Fiesta keeps its feet on the top step of the sales podium, helped by the arrival of a new model in the summer of 2017.

The Ford supermini’s momentum refused to falter and it even managed to put more distance between itself and closest rival, the Vauxhall Corsa. However, because of the model change briefly restricting supply, total sales for the year are down from 120,525 in 2016.

Runners-up in the UK in 2017 were the VW Golf (74,605 units) and the Ford Focus (69,903 units).

Impacted by tax changes and lower consumer confidence, the overall market declined 5% versus 2016 to 2.9m units.

Food & Nutrition

How to tell if you’re dehydrated instantly If you’ve been stuck in traffic over the May Day Bank Holiday hopefully you remembered to carry a bottle of water with you!

The NHS recommend drinking six to eight glasses of water a day but how many of you actively make sure that you hit this target?

How hydrated do you reckon you actually are? Probably not as much as you’d like following a bank holiday of sunbathing and cider, right?

In a bid to encourage people to keep an eye on their hydration levels, a simple trick to measure dehydration has surfaced.

Backed by the National Library of Medicine, it’s all about measuring your skin’s turgor which is the skin’s elasticity.

14

On the back of the hand, the back of the arm or the abdomen, using your thumb and index finger, grasp a

section of skin until it is tented up. Hold the skin for a few seconds and then release. If the skin rapidly snaps back to its normal position, you are hydrated, if not you need to drink water.

According to the NHS, other symptoms of dehydration to watch out for are feeling thirsty, having dark yellow and strong smelling pee, feeling dizzy or lightheaded, feeling tired, having dry mouth, lips and eyes and peeing little and less than four times a day.

It is worth nothing that you shouldn’t now go and chug all the H2O you can find, because you can actually drink too much, but do stick to the recommended six to eight glasses a day and you should be absolutely dandy.

MARMITE... have launched a new reducedsalt version which is probably great for our overall health but perhaps not so much for our taste buds.

Housed in a blue jar, the new version contains 25% less salt and is 100% vegetarian.

It launched on 1st of May in Waitrose and Asda and it is set to roll out across other stores over coming weeks.

Priced at £3.09 - 59p more than the original version - the team that worked on the product say it will taste very similar to what we already know but there will be “slight changes” to the overall flavour. Jars are selling on Ebay for £7!

News

What is palm oil and why has Iceland banned it?

Iceland supermarkets have banned palm oil from their own brand products citing ‘harmful environmental impact’ Iceland supermarkets recently announced they would bebanning the use of palm oil from their own brand products from 2019 – becoming the first UK supermarket to do so.

Burning these forests means destroying the habitats for wildlife and plants in the area, with elephants, orangutans, tigers and rhinos among the animals affected.

The reason behind their decision was because of palm oil’s ‘harmful environmental impact.’ The production of the oil can have devastating impacts on wildlife and tropical forests.

16

What is palm oil?

A type of vegetable oil that is made from the fruit of oil palm trees.

It is the most commonly used vegetable oil with around 66 million tonnes produced each year – and it’s found in around half of all supermarket products.

What are the benefits of palm oil?

Dr Emma Keller from the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) told BBC Newsround: “Palm oil is a super-efficient crop, meaning that we can produce a lot more palm oil per area of land compared to other oil crops like soybean oil or coconut oil.”

Palm oil production has also provided jobs for “millions of small farmers”, helping them to get out of poverty.

In fact, around 100,000 orangutans were lost between 1999 and 2015 due to palm oil production, other animals are being pushed to extinction and indigenous people are losing their homes.

Furthermore, destruction of rainforests contributes to rising greenhouse gas emissions which contributes to climate change.

What products contain palm oil?

How does palm oil impact the environment?

Over the past century, the demand for palm oil has risen dramatically which means large areas of tropical forest in south-east Asia and Africa have been destroyed as a result.

Many everyday products contain palm oil including lipstick, shampoo, detergent, chocolate, biscuits, soap, ice cream and pizza dough – so it would be hard to avoid it completely.

Between 1990 and 2008 palm oil production was responsible for 8 per cent of the world’s deforestation as forests are burnt to clear areas for people to grow oil palms – which, in some cases, is illegal.

More efforts need to be made to monitor and make sure the palm oil being made it being made sustainably, without harming animals and forests during the process.

Gardening

Garden Trends We take a look at the trends that are going to be hot for gardeners in 2018.

From Grow your own to wood effect porcelain and compact sheds.

26

Embracing alfresco Spring and summer is the ideal time for enjoying the outdoor space, and alfresco dining is set to be bigger than ever this year.

Outdoor entertaining and kitchen areas will be a key trend, says The Greenhouse People. ‘It’s perfect for those of us who lack space in our kitchens or dining rooms, as we can move entertaining friends and family outside,’ they explain. ‘Create a dedicated area with comfy furniture and mood lighting, complete with a sunken fire pit, BBQ or pizza oven.’

According to award-winning garden designer John Wyer FSGD, outdoor structures – not just your average summerhouse – will also be big. Plug and Play’ pergolas – with integrated drainage, lighting and heating will be the must-have garden feature, while outdoor kitchens with dedicated spaces for cooking, eating and entertaining will become a central focus.

The Posh Shed Company also predicts that the popularity of verandas, which the company noticed more customers asking

Please mention

for in 2017, will continue to rise this year.

Muted tones remain popular but vibrant colour palettes will rule ‘Applying muted tones like grey to your woven furniture is increasingly popular, adding an element of sophistication to your outdoor living area,’ say the team at John Lewis. ‘However, as well as the popularity of natural colours and finishes, more of us are becoming braver in our outdoor furniture choices – looking to inject pops of vibrant colour into our outdoor spaces using contemporary furniture designs and cutting-edge textile design.’

‘By enhancing the space that is available, regardless of size, it provides an area to express creativity and style. Whether it’s a balcony, patio or windowsill, there’s a range of planting containers and vertical structures to allow you to grow various flowers and foliage,’ explain the team at Flymo.

Compact sheds that are stylish but practical ‘Garden space is at a premium for most homeowners,’ explains Richard Frost, managing director

Balcony gardening Balcony gardening has been on a steady rise in recent years, but now, with more people living in rented properties or with little or no outdoor space in city areas, this new approach to gardening is proving popular.

when responding to advertisers. Thank you.

Gardening at The Posh Shed Company, who had a 300 per cent increase in sales of its Chelsea shed in 2017.

‘The Chelsea is unique for a shed as it features built-in shelving on the outside so that capacity is maximised without internal space being compromised.

‘We’ve noticed average garden sizes getting smaller, but the need for storage has not changed, so gardeners need to be making the most of the space that they’ve got.’

Multi-use sheds And the shed trends don’t stop there... According to Posh Shed, multi-use sheds are also growing in popularity. ‘A shed isn’t just a place for storing tools anymore,’ Frost explains. ‘The she-shed has been a big trend in the past few years and we’re now seeing people using sheds to serve a more practical functional space. We’ve had some fantastic projects where we’ve created half greenhouse/half shed – the greenshed if you will – to help people maximise their available space.’

Grow your own ‘Veganism is one of the fastest growing lifestyle movements with the number of Brits choosing a plant-based diet rising by more than 360 per cent over the past decade,’ explains The Greenhouse People. ‘Coupled with rising food prices and a

growing appreciation of organic produce, in 2018 the grow your own movement will really see a resurgence.’ There are many varieties that can be easily grown in the garden, suggests Flymo, who recommends peas, broccoli, spinach and even quinoa. Start small with a window box full of herbs, or cordon off a patch of your garden and experiment.

Designer James Scott MSGD notes that as interest in producing our own food continues to grow, we will see a trend towards edible planting, with greenhouses in particular making a comeback.

Exotic shrubs It’s all about shrubs this year, say designers from the Society of Garden Designers. It’ll be a move away from naturalistic perennials and grasses to more exotic and unusual specimens.

Euonymus oxyphyllus, an elegant, slow growing shrub from Korea is becoming increasingly popular thanks to its rich, emerald green leaves which turn to shades of yellow,

Wood-effect porcelain tiles Already popular in interior design, woodeffect porcelain tiles look set to become a trend in garden design, suggests designer John Wyer FSGD, who first used them two years ago on his awardwinning garden at RHS Chelsea.

Hard-wearing, scratch, stain and heat-resistant, in 2018 we’ll see them used for both flooring and cladding in a variety of patterns.

Incorporating mindfulness

27

Mindfulness – the ancient Buddhist tradition of immersing yourself in the present moment – has become a huge buzzword in wellbeing over the past few years, and it’s set to have a ‘strong influence over how we design and appreciate our gardens in 2018,’ predicts The Greenhouse People.

The focus will be on ‘incorporating elements which stimulate the senses – like accents of calming blues and energising yellows, pots of strongly-scented therapeutic lavender and a water feature to create a relaxing ambience’, they suggest.
