Get on yer bike for L’Eroica Britannia.

June 20-22 will see an army of cycling enthusiasts descending on Derbyshire for a FREE 3 day weekend festival of cycling, boozy BBQ’s and stunning views – as L’Eroica, the famous historic Tuscan bike tour known as ‘the most handsome bike race in the World’, is coming to the UK with a rather marvellous British adventure in mind.

2 years in the making, L’Eroica Britannia has been named to make iconic British history in the Peak District National Park with a free 3 day ‘cycle and vintage lifestyle’ festival. This includes the best adventure of all, the pinnacle of the festival - a three route bike tour of some of the most magical and uncharted landscape of The Peak District - including the private lands of the Chatsworth Estate.

The ride has attracted nearly 2000 riders, 30% of which are coming from all four corners of the globe including Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Hong Kong, Singapore, Switzerland, South Africa and the USA. Over the weekend, Bakewell Festival Showground will greet 2000 campers who are coming to participate in the ride or soak up the festival atmosphere.

The festival and the ride, known as ‘The Great British Adventure’, mirrors the original Italian ethos which celebrates and values sustainability, territory, environment, heritage, wellbeing and the joys of local food and drink.

The four festival and race organisers, who are all based in Sheffield, are working with local brands and

businesses to ensure that L’Eroica Britannia is a beneficial legacy event which will be run each year in the Peak District - which will form a key part of the local economy year on year.

The festival and ride has attracted a number of locally based brands.

Thornbridge, John Smedley and Chatsworth have been integral in creating the event and a wealth of local businesses who are promoting and selling products at the festival to raise awareness and engage with the weekend audience.

Over 80 brands and companies will be present at the festival, these include local favourites Henderson’s Relish, Hartington Cheese, the English Wine Project (who are based at the historic vineyard at Renishaw Hall and who’ll be serving their Rose sparkling wine during the 55 and 100 mile route) and local heritage brand Granny Mary’s - serving their Finest Potted Beef sandwiches en route. Local bike brands Juicy Bike and Glory Days will also be in attendance whilst Thornbridge Brewery is hosting the Thornbridge Tavern which will be serving their specially brewed L’Eroica Pale Ale and selling their own merch.

The event is additionally supported by national brands such as Lush, Movember, Hendrick’s, Brooks of England, Pimms & Holdsworth, who’ll be delivering wonderful experiences to entertain and delight.

Visitors to the festival over the 3 days are being encouraged to dress in vintage apparel to impress incognito judges watching out for ‘Best in Show’ festival goers – who’ll be announced on the Village Green during the weekend. Other Best in Show prizes will be presented to riders, owners of ‘Best Bikes’, ‘Best Dressed Village in the Peaks’ and ‘Best Dressed Shop Window’.

Attendees will also be treated to the grand opening of the festival on Friday the June 20 with a ‘Great British Flag Wave’ - conducted by local schools who are marking the 100 years since the start of WW1with handmade Union Jacks. Spectators of the ride and festival folk on the

Tim Hubbard, one of the founding members of L’Eroica Britannia, comments: “We’ve been overwhelmed by the support for the ride and the festival and are delighted to be working with the cornerstones of excellence from the Peak District who are supporting this event. We’re expected to sell out for the ride and are actively encouraging as many people as possible to come down and have a great day out at the festival dressed to the nines in vintage wear!”

GEMINI May 21 June 20 So, it’s late Friday night, and I’m looking for a taxi. But, due to my intoxicated state, none of the drivers stop. Bummer, right? I’d just about given up hope on a lift, when none other than Rubeus Hagrid comes strolling out of West Street Live - his beard matted with Jagermeister.

“Now then Hagrid, shouldn’t tha be looking after t’Hogwarts grounds, yer cheeky swine?” I asked jestingly.

Bringing a frankfurter-sized finger to his lips, he replied: “Keep it on the down low, son. If McGonagall finds out she’ll fly right off her broom handle.”

Anyhoo, after a brief chat and a welcome kebab from Aslan’s, he offered me a ride home. I said that he shouldn’t be driving after so many Jager-bombs. He told me not to worry, then let out a loud whistle, and I swear on Merlin’s left bollock - a hippogriff appeared and whisked me back down Penistone Road.

Doc On!

Doc/Fest is back - and it’s bigger than ever.

As one of the top documentary and digital media festivals in the world, Doc/ Fest brings together the art and business of documentary making right to the heart of Sheffield.

Running June 7-12, this year sees Doc Fest featuring a ‘Tour De Cinema’ exhibition to celebrate the impending arrival of the Tour De France. Special documentaries and fiction films will be screening free to the public on large-scale high definition screens - popping up in beautiful open-air locations at National Trust venues across the county.

Doc/Fest always adds musical star power to Sheffield and this year is no exception. The festival has announced more live events than ever before; dreamy duo Summer Camp will make their first Doc/Fest appearance to perform the soundtrack they composed for film critic Charlie Lyne’s debut film Beyond Clueless whilst electro-pop trio Saint Etienne will bring their latest film How We Used to Live to Sheffield to accompany it live on stage for the very first time on the final night of the festival. After the festival closes on Thursday 12th, the party continues for the people of Sheffield as a live events weekend sees British Sea Power, a firm festival favourite, return to accompany archive screenings of Man of Aran and From the Sea to the Land Beyond. Felix the Cat, a newcomer to Sheffield, will appear in a rare programme of shorts suitable for all the family with a live score performed by Sean O’Hagan & The High Llamas and Will Gregory of Goldfrapp will perform live with MGM silent classic He Who Gets Slapped.

Another familiar face returning to Sheffield is Adam Buxton who brings his rarely seen show, A Bug Special: David Bowie.

As well as increasing the number of live music events, Doc/Fest has also widened the outdoor element of the festival. Following the popular event last year at the Devil’s Arse in the Peak District, the festival will take over the cavernous theatre almost every night and, for the first time ever, present an open-air evening in the stunning gardens of Chatsworth. Thomas Balmes’ award-winning Happiness will open the festival on Saturday 7th June with a screening at the Devil’s Arse as the audience is transported half way around the world to a remote corner of Bhutan. On Sunday 8th Werner Herzog’s Cave of Forgotten Dreams will screened, followed by Visitors on Monday 9th before music doc 20 Feet from Stardom will close the cave for another year on Tuesday 10th.

There are loads of ways you can get involved, with tickets for films, gigs and celebrity events available from £8 and mega value passes just £50. The only way to get full access though is to buy a festival pass (£199-£249) which will provide six days of films, talks, masterclasses, workshops, parties and access to official festival lounges.

If you’re a Sheffield resident, and have proof that you have a Sheffield postcode, then you’re eligible for a special discounted pass for just £199 + VAT. Just send proof (e.g. a utility bill) to registration@sidf.co.uk. There’s also the Doc Lovers Pass for those interested purely in the films, films and more films. At just £60/£50 concessions, it’s an absolute bargain for documentary fanatics.

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

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

Julie austin

Having retired from her work at The Sheffield Children’s Hospital, we caught up with Julie Austin - a woman who’s dedicated her life to helping young children overcome tough times.

You worked at The Children’s Hospital for over 35 years, we can image it was a tough decision to retire, how did it come about?

I worked in the NHS for 40 years. I was a prenurse at just 16 so I felt it was time to take a step down. The time just felt right to retire.

BITS’N’BOBS!

Julie, along with thousands of others, will be taking part in the charity’s Make It Better Day on June 27th, in a bid to raise as much money as possible in just 24 hours.

You’re still going back and helping out in Monies raised from Make your free time though, working with The Children’s Hospital Charity (TCHC), why’s it Better Day will go towards the Make it Better that?

Appeal - which will help I just admire the work everyone at the transform The Children’s hospital does. Everyone works so hard so Hospital, Sheffield, making I wanted to help them out - and of course it a brighter more accessible to see the children. It’s completely different from when I was a nurse (laughs). I dress up environment for patients and their families. and dance around, just trying to make the children laugh instead of doing the nursing.

See www.tchc.org.uk for I also hear you’re known by some as ‘Theo’s more.

Best Friend’, can you tell us a bit about that nickname?

I love Theo (TCHC’s bear mascot)! He’s about 15 now, and I’ve known him since he was born. He puts a massive smile on

everyone’s face and tries to make everyone laugh. I also used to be his nurse, which was nice because he’s such a nice boy. That’s how the nickname came about, because we were always together and having fun.

Have you always had a passion for helping others?

I’ve always wanted to care for people. All the way through school I was totally focused on becoming a nurse and, thankfully, I became one. Having done some nursing I soon realised that I preferred nursing young children, that’s why I went and worked at The Children’s Hospital.

And finally, what would you say is the most rewarding aspect to helping young children; we can imagine there are quite a few?

Hmm, I’d have to say putting a smile on their faces. That’s one of the reasons I got into the job in the first place, and it’s still something that’s rewarding after all this time.

w w w. e x p o s e d m a g a z i n e . c o . u k

You know, James, at this point I should say something real mushy like – ‘Never change who you are’ or – ‘Be true to yourself ’. But I think we both know that most men would never have a sniff of the vayjayjay if it wasn’t for pretending to be somebody else. So, instead of boring the poor girl with that charming story about the time you rescued a Jack Russell from a tree, tell her about the time you punched Chuck Norris in the mouth for stealing your coke. Throw in the finishing touches of a distressed leather jacket and a toothpick and she’ll be jumping on your bad boy Johnson in no time - wetter than a otters pocket.

All you have to do is enjoy the ride, James, or should I say…

‘J-Dogg’?

WITH HELP FROM JOE FOOD

Dear SP, I’ve started falling for this incredibly sexy new girl at work. We’re talking Mila Kunis with a Yorkshire accent here. I tried to chat her up a bit, but was stopped dead in my tracks when she said she only dated ‘bad boys’. To be honest, I’m more Russell Howard than Russell Brand (slightly bosseyed, but…) – and I don’t think my polite approach is working. Should I change?

THE SECRET GARDEN Dating back to 1779, and nestled in the heart of Hillsborough Park, the Walled Garden has seen a lot of chopping and changing over the years. Originally used as an area to grow fruit for Hillsborough Hall, the Garden then became a nursery and training centre for members of the council with a keen eye for gardening. Following the Hillsborough disaster in 1989, it was transformed into a

memorial for the 96 Liverpool fans that lost their lives. A replica of Anfield’s Shankly Gates, donated by Liverpool FC, awaits at the entrance. The garden is available to the general public and open daily 9am-4pm. It ccurrently contains a greenhouse, wildlife area, 2 ponds and a willow play den. More information can be found at www.sheffield.gov.uk.

Get off the bench and join the Greatest Team in the World by giving blood!

DO IT FOR DAVE!

NHS Blood and Transplant is asking new and existing donors to give blood and be part of the Greatest Team in the World to help maintain healthy blood stocks for patients throughout the busy summer months.

The number of people donating blood often falls during the summer - and this year’s football World Cup may present even more of a challenge.

“We want to remind everybody that the need for blood will continue even when their attention turns to the beautiful game,” said Jon Latham, Assistant Director for Donor Services and Marketing at NHS Blood and Transplant. “We need more than 7,000 people to attend a blood donation session every day to collect the amount of blood hospitals across England and North Wales need to treat patients. The Greatest Team in the World is never complete so, if you’ve never given blood before, come and join us - we always have spaces in our squad.”

Every blood donation saves or improves the lives of up to three people and, if each member of the England World Cup squad gave blood, they’d save or improve the lives of up to 69 people! In general, as long as you’re fit and healthy, weigh over 7 stone 12 lbs (50kg) and are aged between 17 and 66 (up to 70 if you have given blood before/ over 70s need to have given blood in the last two years to continue donating).

If you’re still in two minds about donating blood, maybe Dave’s story will inspire you.

“It was a typical week day evening, I was travelling home from work following the same route that I always use, however, that evening something went wrong and I lost control of my car. Even now I can’t tell you what happened but I ended up having a side on collision with an oncoming vehicle. My car was reduced to half its width and the Fire Brigade had to cut me out of it. Luckily the other driver was not too seriously injured and was discharged from hospital within a few hours.

I was taken to the Northern General Hospital where the last thing I remember was adoctor telling me I had internal bleeding and that they were sedating me whilst they worked out the extent of my injuries. I woke up 6 days later in Intensive Care. The injuries I sustained included a collapsed lung, lacerated liver and spleen, ruptured diaphragm, broken ribs and pelvis and most critically, an aortic aneurism.

The odds were very much stacked against me.

95% of people with my injuries don’t make it to hospital - let alone survive. In order to stabilise my condition, and keep me alive whilst the doctors operated on me, I had to have a blood transfusion. I received four pints of blood in total.

I never thought I would ever have such a major accident, or that I’d receive a blood transfusion in my lifetime, it just goes to show how vulnerable we all are. I owe my survival not only to the skill of the doctors, nurses and emergency services, but also to the people who donated blood. Regrettably, I’ve never donated blood, it was something that I always intended on doing but never did. That makes me even more grateful to people who have taken their time to donate blood.”

BLOOD DONOR SESSIONS ARE HELD THROUGHOUT SHEFFIELD AT:

Sheffield Donor Centre - Cathedral Court, Church Street, S1 2GN // Sheffield United Football Ground // Kenwood Hall // Hillsborough Leisure Centre // Handsworth – South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Training Centre // Norton Doubletree by Hilton Park Hotel To find out when the team are at these venues, to book an appointment, or for more information, visit www.blood.co.uk or call 0300123 23 23.

Sheffield’s Sport and Physical Activity Scheme is aimed at anyone over the age of 14 who would like to be more active.

Staff will be on hand to support you every step of the way and helping you work towards completing at least one 30 minute session of sport or physical activity per week.

There are a whole host of activities that are available for people to have a go at - from swimming to badminton and volleyball to basketball. We will endeavour to guide you towards any activity you would like to try, and to add to this many of these activities are free or minimal cost, as we are working with some great partners within the city.

The aim of the scheme is to reduce

the number of inactive individuals in Sheffield by motivating them to build sport and physical activity into their everyday lives.

We can meet you on an individual or group basis to look at what you would like to achieve, what your motivation is and then guide you towards your goal.

Sessions are held all over the city; visit www.movemoresheffield.com/activityfinder for a full list of activities happening in your local area right now!

As an extra incentive, everyone that attends one of our experience sessions will receive a FREE preloaded Lifecard with £50 worth of FREE activities - so you and your family can try some new ones.

EXPOSED PROMOTION

Player One: Start! Sheffield videogames festival Games Britannia Live takes over the Millennium Galleries at the end of this month with a plethora of videogameey treats - from 3D printing your own Minecraft to driving lessons from Sonic Racing devs Sumo Digital. They’re also putting on an evening of the chippiest chiptunes you’ll find this side of a singing Mr. Potatohead, so In Session is playing away in the leafy environs of one of the city’s hidden treehouses for an In Session with Nintendo DS dual-wielding headliner HarleyLikesMusic.

He’s a perfect fit for Games Britannia Live too.

Throwing ridiculously high BPM-ed shapes and shadows across music and videgames alike, Harley’s looney apocalyptica is like a flying saucer hovering over the seven hills.

We’re Earthbound for the time being though as we wander the leafy surroundings of host Handspring’s woody creations. Pausing only to re-enact Indiana Jones’ classic machete stunt on one of their rope bridges, we dangled our feet over the edge of the city for a chat in advance of his exclusive session...

So, Mr LikesMusic, what are you doing for us here at In Session this month?

You’re getting an eight to ten minute set. An example of what I do live really. I’m gonna get one of my circuit bent toys involved too, which I don’t too often do live, so it’s a bit of an experiment for me as well I guess!

You’ve talked about how Final Fantasy VII is probably your favourite soundtrack, but what games themselves have inspired you?

Well, Fallout’s a big inspiration for (‘War of the Worlds’ at 200bpm concept album) The

Restaurant. You go in, have a meal, and there’s this show with all these robots going on.

Crowd flanking either side of this show in the middle.

Was it like being in the future?

Mate, it was like the future of the future!

And, as we’re waiting to go in, there’s all these photos of people posing with the robots.

Sixth Extinction. When that came out I was obsessed with it! A lot of my music is quite heavy - and Fallout has a kind brutal apocalyptic feel to it I like.

It sounds a bit like Robot Wars…

There’s this wall of people who’ve previously been here and this photo just stood out - so we wound up making loads of meme images for this guy.

You did a track-by-track on The Sixth Extinction which I thought was interesting because it didn’t really mention any characters. There’s this broad sweep to your music where you seem to be generally viewing events from a distance. Do you play strategy games?

I don’t play them so much now but I used to play Age of Empires and Empire Earth when I was younger. I really liked the idea of building a civilisation – on Empire Earth for example you start off on the Stone Age and you go right through to modern day then the Nano Age where you’re building robots and things! I really like the survival theme in games.

There’s mileage here. Have you considered making songs of other memes, like the Patrick Stewart Facepalm? Or Sean Bean’s ‘One Does Not Simply…’

I should make an EP based on memes and their adventures! I actually had a loose story based on the ‘Guys, I got this’ guy as well.

He’s flying round in this robot doing stuff, the world explodes at some point...

But you generally seem to be on the side of the system that’s trying to smash puny humans…!

(Laughs) Yeah, there’s one track on The Sixth Extinction called The Greater Good where aliens come down to earth and tell humans they’ve got to sort themselves out or they’ve gotta go…

Harley Likes Music plays Games Britannia Live on Saturday 28th June. For more information visit www.gamesbritannia. com/live Harley’s single ‘Guys, I got this/ Klantnummer 14’ is out now on OSCBOX Records. The album ‘The Sixth Extinction’ is out on Pterodactyl Records. Both are free to download. Visit Harley’s website at www. harleylikesmusic.com for more info.

What’s the insane meme art for (latest single) ‘Guys, I Got This’ from?

It’s this place we went to in Tokyo called the Robot

As it tends to in your music!

That is a theme, yeah!

NAPOLEONS Be it gambling, drinking, dancing or dining, Naps is your one-stop shop for a tiptop night out.

What’s more, they recently threw a pool table into the mix. Only right then that we popped along to christen it, eh?

Words: Carl Reid.

Like most folk in Sheff, we’re no strangers to Naps - the Eccy Rd goliath is something of a comfort blanket when it comes to an evening on the tiles.

So, when the call came that they fancied taking us on at a challenge, we were all over it.

“What’s your game then?” we eagerly chimed. “Poker? Black Jack? Roulette..?”

“Nope,” came the response. “Pool!”

See, turns out the good folk have just installed a new pool table on their Mezzanine floor – which is available for a paltry pound after 11pm. All good with us – we’re keen hustlers here at Exposed.

It’s me and Joe against Assistant GM Brian and pro waiter Adam. Three challenges await – losers pay the bar bill. Rack ‘em up, lads…

GAME 1

After picking and naming our cues (‘Hot Camilla’ for Joe and ‘Sticky’ for me), it’s a simple ‘Best of Five’ jobby to start – and Joe gets off to a flyer. A yellow goes in off the break and he follows it up with another four. It looked like the game was over before it’d started. Alas, t’was but a fleeting moment.

Brian steps up and shows the form of a champ with a slick

couple – whilst my first effort barely made it to my ball. Adam followed with another two and we knew we had a challenge on our hands. From that point on it was tit-for tat until the dreaded black ball game arrived. A nervy shot from our Joe

NAPOELONS

Get Involved

Away from the pool table, Naps have got some great packages on the go. ‘Party Poker’ is where you can learn how to play poker and enjoy your own private poker tournament (£15/£20) – whilst ‘Poker Advanced Masterclass’ does exactly what it says on the tin (£15).

meant Brian had half a chance to sink it – and he gleefully took the opportunity.

A director’s cut of the next few games follows. All went to the black ball. All were won by the Naps boys. Joe’s ‘pool eye’ disappeared as swiftly as his pints and led to him potting numerous whites (at one point he even started hitting the wrong colour: “I feel like Steven Gerrard mate. Slipped at the final hurdle.”) – and, despite some truly epic long potting by yours truly, our efforts simply weren’t good enough. Game 1 to Naps.

GAME 2

Killer time. For those not familiar, it works thus. Each player has three lives. You then take it in turns to try and pot a ball. If you don’t pot one, you lose a life. Last man standing, wins.

It’s me to break – and I follow it with a ball in the bag. Joe brings his previous form to the table and fails to score. Adam has no such worries – but Brian, who’d previously played some cracking pool, also loses a life at the first hurdle. It’s relatively cool runnings from then on (taking Joe out of the occasion, of course, as he swiftly exits the game) and we make it to the end without losing any more lives – but it’s Adam who takes the glory with the final pot. Chalk another one down for Naps.

GAME 3

We’re playing for nowt but pride now – and it’s a game of ‘Speed Pool’ to finish. Brian sets the pace with a not too shabby 2 minutes 38 seconds clearance. Adam follows suit – sinking all his balls in 2 minutes 43. I cleared up in what I thought was a winning time – only to be told I’d hit the 3 minute mark (time really does fly when you’re having fun) – whilst Joe, oh Joe… well, we’ll just leave it at that, shall we..?

Needless to say, it was a clean sweep for Naps - meaning the only thing for it was to pencil in another night at the venue for a rematch. Shame…

VERDICT

So, all those hours on the pool table after work ultimately counted for nothing. Sigh. Still, it’s a cracking addition to the tons of stuff already on offer at Naps.

We’ll be back – and so will ‘Hot Camilla’ and ‘Sticky’!

The History:

The ďŹ rst tournament was held in 1930, with hosts Uruguay prevailing as champions- and the original tournament featured 13 teams.

Nowadays, 32 teams compete.

Brazil have won the competition more times than anyone - lifting the trophy 5 times. Italy are in close second having triumph 4 times.

The ďŹ rst and only time England lifted the trophy was, of course, in 1966 - beating bitter rivals West Germany 4-2 after extra time.

Good effort, don’t you think? Of the 154 players to have represented Bulgaria at the World Cup finals, only two did not have a surname that ended in the letter V. Can you name them? Us neither. Brazil are the only nation to have appeared in every World Cup tournament since it began.

No European team has ever won the tournament when it’s been held in a South American country. Good luck, England. In 1966, after the World Cup was stolen from the England football team, a black and white Collie dog named Pickles found it at the bottom of a garden. Barking mad.

Neymar

PLAYS FOR: BARCELONA & BRAZIL POSITION: FORWARD If he can stay on his feet long enough, Neymar will be a real treat to watch. Playing on his own turf, he’s sure to be the main man in Brazil’s quest for World Cup glory. Those familiar with the YouTube clips of him will know exactly what he can do - so expect quick feet and mesmerizing skill.

Cristiano Ronaldo

PLAYS FOR: REAL MADRID & PORTUGAL POSITION: WINGER Arguably the best player in the world, Ronaldo is sure to have a blinder at this year’s tourney. Having set the record for the most amount of goals in one Champions League season at Real Madrid, he’s bang on form and will terrorise world class defenders.

David Silva

PLAYS FOR: MANCHESTER CITY & SPAIN POSITION: MIDFIELD Known by Manchester City fans as El Mago, which translates as The Magician, David Silva will be waving his magic left boot to cast some brilliance on defending champions Spain in their bid for back-toback titles.

The Squad

1. Joe Hart, 2. Glen Johnson, 3. Leighton Baines, 4. Steven Gerrard, 5. Gary Cahill, 6. Phil Jagielka, 7. Jack Wilshere, 8. Frank Lampard, 9. Daniel Sturridge, 10. Wayne Rooney, 11.

Adam Lallana, 21. Ross Barkley, 22. Fraser Forster, 23. Luke Shaw

The fixtures

Mario Balotelli

PLAYS FOR: AC MILAN & ITALY POSITION: WHEREVER HE WANTS The jester of football will be looking to bring his controversial style, along with a boatload of goals, to the big stage. Premier League fans will know all about his hilarious side as well as his brilliance as a footballer from his time at Man City. More of the same please Mario (but not against England)!

Daniel Sturridge

PLAYS FOR: LIVERPOOL & ENGLAND POSITION: FORWARD With lightning pace, and a real eye for a goal, Liverpool’s Daniel Sturridge will hope to bring home the bacon for England. Fellow club team-mates Steven Gerrard and Raheem Sterling will be looking to find the goal scorer at every opportunity - and playing alongside Wayne Rooney can only be a good thing.

June 14, 11pm: First up for England are those pesky yet brilliant Italians. It’s hard to predict which Italy side will turn up, as they’re either brilliant or dire. (Fingers crossed for the latter). Exposed prediction: England 1-1 Italy.

June 19, 8pm: Next up will be Luis Suarez and the winners of the first ever World Cup, Uruguay. They may not be the force they once were, but they still have a few handy players. Exposed prediction: England 2-1 Uruguay.

June 24, 5pm: The final fixture in the group stage will see England take on Costa Rica. Qualification to the knock-out stages could come down to this one - so expect to have no finger nails left by the end. Exposed prediction: England 2-0 Costa Rica.

Oh, and not to forget, one plus point of the group stages if that there will be NO PENALTY SHOOTOUTS! Hurrah!

The beautiful game is always made that bit more beautiful when there’s some dosh riding on it.

How about a bet on the winner? Brazil are best priced at 3/1. Argentina and Germany are at 5/1, whilst England are 28/1. Little harsh, don’t you think?

Goals galore: Who’s going find the net the most? Argentina’s Lionel Messi is best priced at 9/1, Neymar is at 13/1, whilst Ronaldo is at 15/1.

Exposed top tip: Spain’s Diego Costa has had the best season of his career - helping catapult Atletico Madrid to La Liga title. Third top scorer for the season, at 26/1 to be top scorer at the World Cup, he’s sure to worry a few bookies.

Exposed Meets Ritchie Humphreys.

Portrait: Marc Barker Well, I’m there to gauge to the view of 4000 current members, rather than giving my own opinion – so it wasn’t too bad. What’s come out are ideas, recommendations and a menu for debate, and there’s lots more to come - mainly about grass roots facilities and how we can improve coaching.

They’re the two crucial parts of it.

Our country is unique in that we have the most professional football clubs, most professional players and highest attendances in the world. B teams have worked in other countries where they don’t have such a strong league structure – so we don’t want that being broken. But we have to come up with a solution… or what was the point in having a commission?

Last year, former Wednesday starlet Ritchie Humphreys had just been released by Hartlepool and was potentially coming to the end of his career.

Now, he’s just won the League with his new club Chesterfield, become the chairman of the PFA (presenting Eden Hazard with his award for Best Young Player at last month’s PFA Awards) and is now off to the World Cup. No, not as a player, but as part of the PFA delegation. He’s also mates with Exposed head honcho Phil Turner - so we caught up with him to get the lowdown on his ‘dream’ year and how he expected England to get on at the World Cup. You’re 36 now and yet you’ve just signed a new contract at Chesterfield. Just how long can you keep going?

As long as possible. I’d never put a time limit on it – as long as my body’s up to it, and someone’s willing to give me a contract, I’ll keep playing.

This season must feel like a bit of bonus at this stage of your career.

I bet you didn’t expect to win the league when you signed last year…

This time last summer I’d just been relegated and released from a club I’d been at for 12 years - and I didn’t know whether I was going to get a coaching job or a job out of football. So, signing for Chesterfield, and going onto play 45-50 games has been amazing. I went past 600 league games, 700 professional games, became PFA chairman, got promoted and won the league - it’s more than a bonus, I think.

You started out at Sheffield Wednesday – so do you still look out for their results?

Yes, both Sheffield clubs, really. Obviously I played for Wednesday but I watched United as a kid and I’ve got friends and family on both sides of the city. I know I’m sitting on the fence but what I would say is that I would like us as a city to get one, if not both teams, back into the Premiership one day.

As part of your dream season, you became PFA Chairman this year. How’d that come about?

Every club has a delegate – so there’s 92 in total plus some from the conference – and I was that delegate for a number of years at Hartlepool. Then there’s a management committee of 12 that meets four times a year on a voluntary basis and goes through all the issues, accounts and puts our views across. From that committee there’s a chairman who has to be a current player - so when Clarke Carlisle retired I was delighted the lads elected me.

You must have been busy recently with all the talk about the FA Commission’s recommendations to form a new league featuring B teams from Premier League…

Ok. Onto the World Cup. What’s your first memory of it?

My dad bought me a World Cup book for Spain 1982 with the squads in. But I really remember 1986 with Lineker and the Golden Boot and Maradona and the Hand of God. But that first goal he scored in that game was sensational

- probably the best goal you’ll ever see on that stage.

Was that part of you falling in love with football?

There wasn’t as much football on TV back then - so World Cups and FA Cup Finals were massive events. And at that age I can remember all the details; Norman Whiteside curling it around Neville Southall in 1985, Dave Beasant saving the penalty in 1988 – I loved it.

If you were a kid now do you think you’d still get as excited as you did at that age?

It’s hard to say – but probably. I know I’m excited now and I’m 36! With the squad Roy’s picked I’m eager to see how we’ll do. There isn’t that great expectancy of the past where we think we can get to the semis or go on and win it – but with these young players in the squad, we’ve got a batch through that everyone’s shouting about without putting too much pressure on.

We saw in the later qualifying games when someone like Andros Townsend

THE HIGHS AND LOWS OF HUMPHS. 1996

Signs for Sheffield Wednesday and goes onto play 72 times, scoring 8 goals. Also represents his country at under 20 and under 21 level, alongside a certain Michael Owen, wearing the number 9 shirt at the 1997 FIFA Under 20 World Cup.

2001

After a brief loan spell at Cambridge he joins Hartlepool United making a record 544 appearances and picking up numerous club awards, including two Player of the Year awards from fans, one Player of the Year award from his teammates, as well as the award for Player of the Decade (2000s).

He’s also named in the PFA Team of the Year twice, helping the club win promotion out of the fourth tier in 2002–03 and again in 2006–07.

2013/14

BRAZIL NUTS

came through and played without fear and then this year we’ve seen players like Barkley, Sterling and Lallana all doing well. I mean, it wasn’t long ago I was playing against Lallana and Lambert in League One and League Two and that brings back how good football can be – it should give anyone belief that if they keep working hard you can get to the top. With Lallana, you could tell he was a class apart, but he’s actually excelling even more in the top division because he’s playing with better players and there’s more space. I saw him at the PFA Awards and had a quick chat with him.

I think it’s great that we’ve got this group of younger players that might just grow together as a squad.

Who would you expect to excel this year outside of England?

People have questioned whether Messi can do it on the big stage – but if he had a good World Cup that would establish him as an all-time great. I wouldn’t look past any of the South American teams for a winner. Brazil are playing at home, Argentina, Uruguay - and Spain will cause problems for teams.

But I love watching Ronaldo.

Sometimes when you’ve got that one truly world class player that can turn a game, whether it’s carrying a ball from one end of the pitch or hitting a free kick in from 30 yards, that can be what it takes. He’s an absolute class act and is a great example for younger players in terms of how he made himself better.

I know you’ll be in Brazil for much of the World Cup but, if you were back in Sheffield, where would you choose to watch the games?

It’s been a while but I remember watching the Germany game at Euro ‘96 at Champs and then ended up in The Leadmill. Then in ’98 when we got knocked out by Argentina on penalties we were in The Forum. The Common Room’s good for football or The Bowery – I’d happily go there.

LOCK load!

There’s a new sports bar in town – and, crikey, it’s a whopper!

The biggest venue of its kind in the city, The Locker Room hit the ground running - opening over the first May Bank Holiday and keeping the pace ever since.

Boasting 34 screens across its vast space, along with a giant projector and personal screens in booths, it’s quickly become a major draw for the sports mad Sheffield public. But, as we found out, there’s so much more to the place.

“We like to think of The Locker Room as a multi-function venue,” marketing manager James Burns tells us. “We’ve invested over £50,000 in a stunning custom sound system meaning we can throw some epic parties – whilst we can also create VIP areas and accommodate corporate parties. The potential for the place is endless.” A whopping £500,000 has been spent on the project – breathing new life into the former Steel House premises on West St. “It needed it,” continues James. “We wanted to bring back some of the original features, like the exposed brickwork, whilst also giving it a modern sheen – and I think we’ve achieved it.”

sed grabs E its kit bag and pops along toom.

The Locker Ro

The venue now offers three separate bars (upstairs, downstairs and VIP) along with an extensive cocktail menu featuring all the classics. And, when it comes to the food, you won’t be left wanting. Available 11am – 1am every night, snacks such as the Crispiano Ronaldo Popcorn Chicken and the Messi Mozz Dippers will keep you going – whilst an extensive menu featuring the likes of sliders, ribs, hotdogs… and homemade pies with Hendo’s… is on offer if you’re after something more substantial.

“We’re aiming for an American/ Sheffield vibe,” smiles James.

“We want to bring the best of what the US has to offer and give it our own Steel City twist.”

On the entertainment front, The Locker Room delivers big time. Four pool tables (English and American) await along with the likes of table football, ping

pong, consoles, arcades, beer pong and tons more – whilst throughout the week there’s something going on every day/ night. Come the weekend, the place is simply buzzing. Funky Fridays mean Funk, Nu-Disco and Hip Hop cuts from the jazziest DJs and live musicians around – whilst Saturday sees the mighty Voodoo Project in residence. Both with a 4am licence.

“From free pool on Mondays, through to a sports quiz on Thursdays, and various tournaments in between – we’ve put together a cracking line-up,” concludes James. “We want The Locker Room to become the place to be for anyone looking to have a fun time – sports fan or not.” As their motto goes: ‘Eat, drink, watch, play’.

That’s all our boxes ticked.

It’s a well-established spot for watching the footy with seven TV screens and one rather large projector. Which means you don’t have to worry about missing the action coz of that really tall bloke with the big hair just in front of you.

Situated right in the heart of Sheffield, Conrad Blandford is a top of the range salon which specialises in hair and beauty. Last month, they saw off competition from 60 others at The Royal Armouries in Leeds to win a place at the rather prestigious L’Oreal Colour Trophy Grand Final.

To reach the final they had to impress an elite group of professionals in the industry - and the team from Conrad Blandford did exactly that with their Autumn/Winter inspired look.

The competition has seen over 1000 entries across the country, and the Ecclesall Road based salon will now take their place amongst just 47 others in the June 23 final at Grosvenor House Hotel in London. Nice one, folks. See www. conradblandfordhairdressing.com for more.

Proud Supporters of the Round Sheffield Run

A heady dose of Hollywood glamour makes its sparkly self at home in Sheffield this month – and you can bet your baubles the Champagne corks will be popping.

Based on Ecclesall Road South, The Stylebar is unlike anything to hit the city style scene. Ever.

Luxury and decadence is the name of the game here – a place where punters can lose themselves within a world of bubbles and cocktails as their tresses are tenderly tended to.

You may think you’ve heard it all before.

You haven’t. See, with The Stylebar comes a city first – The Blow-out Bar. Unique (and sinfully glamorous), it’s the first dedicated blow dry bar in Sheffield.

Those in the know will be well familiar with the huge success of the concept in America and London. Those not so familiar, well, you’re in for one heck of a treat. It works thus: browse the blow out and drinks menu, pick your poison and style (everything from ‘The Bardot’ through to ‘The Mademoiselle’ and ‘Rock And Roll’ is on offer), then leave the team to work their magic as you make the most of your unique, stunning surroundings (think complimentary iPads, current music and chick flicks on the plasma screens).

It’s red carpet glamour all the way – and the perfect start to any evening out or special event.

“We created The Stylebar because, quite frankly, we were bored with the same old generic salons that kept popping up and offering nothing more than an average service,” says Dan Hatfield, who runs the business with sister Cherise.

Launching this month, Exposed gets the lowdown on hot new hair salon with a difference -The Stylebar!

The Stylebar THE LAUNCH!

“We wanted to do something different - to create a deluxe and relaxing environment where you can celebrate just how fabulous you are.”

And, it’s fair to say, they’ve done just that. As much a cool watering hole hangout as it is a salon, The Stylebar will stay open Friday and Saturday nights until the last customer wants to leave (so we imagine there’ll be a fair few late ones) – essentially offering the ultimate girls night out.

“During the weekend evenings we want to create a place where girls can come with their friends, start their evening off with a few drinks, and have their hair perfectly styled. We want them to look, and feel, amazing – and have a whole load of fun in the process!”

What’s more, all this glamour is affordable – just £20 for the full experience plus a free drink of your choice. Bonkers.

“We’ve carefully put together a team who are guaranteed to offer you the best service in the city. Creativity and

the pursuit for perfection mean that we want to deliver more than good, or even excellent, we want to be the number one choice for the style conscious - the only place to go for cuts, colours, blow drys and more.”

So, if second best simply isn’t an option, you know the score. Oh, and don’t lose any sleep about upsetting your regular hairdresser – blow-outs don’t count as cheating. Honest.

See thestylebar.co.uk for more.

w w w. e x p o s e d m a g a z i n e . c o . u k

Friday June 20 sees the official launch of The Stylebar – and, needless to say, they’re not doing things by half.

Live music comes courtesy of Sheffield lass and The Voice star Jessica Steele – whilst TOWIE’S Lauren Pope will be hitting the decks for a DJ set.

The fizz will be flowing and 2013 Hairdresser of the Year, Angelo Vallillo (who’s acted as a consultant for The Stylebar), will be on hand to showcase some of the stunning looks you can expect.

Tickets for what’s set to be a truly dazzling affair are, naturally, strictly limited - and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis to folks who book in for a blow-out before June 20. Chop, chop!

Picking Up

Good Vibrations 5 Mins With... Kirk

Artist: Mr Diggler

Good Vibrations head honcho Kirk is the man to see in Sheff when it comes to Branding and Scarification. We collared him to find out more…

Branding and Scarification? What the devil’s all that about? Can you tell us a bit about the process?

It’s actually an industry secret. In the very basic of terms, Branding is the process of using high temperature to make a permanent mark or design on the skin of the recipient. Scarification is using scalpel blades to do the same.

How permanent are its effects?

As permanent as a tattoo, sometimes more so.

A tattoo is injecting ink into the dermis layer of the skin which can, if needed, be lasered away.

Scarification allows your body to scar in the form of the design and with no ink pigment for a laser to be absorbed into. It makes removal a more complicated (but not impossible) process.

Why are people beginning to use this in addition to or as an alternative to tattooing?

Scarification and Branding have actually been around for as long as tattooing - some forms of body modification have been actually been around longer. However, tattooing has become more main stream thanks to a host of TV shows dedicated to the art form, thus other forms of body art have fallen behind in popularity.

Is it dangerous?

Provided your body modification artist is competent and professionally trained then there are no more dangers than having a tattoo.

You’re still dealing with an open wound which needs to be regularly cleaned and taken care of to avoid dirt getting into it. Some argue that there are in fact less dangers than there are with tattooing. After all, you aren’t having a foreign body (ink pigment) being forced into the skin.

The design is made up of your own collagen which in turn forms scar tissue.

So, there’s some real history behind it?

The Maori and other western Pacific peoples have a long history of tattooing. The word ‘tattoo’ is believed to have originated in Polynesia from tatau, which means “to mark.”

Some of the earliest tattoos were cuts (like in Scarification) followed by ash rubbed into them which formed blackened scars.

How did you get into it in the first place?

I was trained by arguably the most respected body modification expert in the UK, Mac ‘Dr Evil’ McCarthy. I’ve always wanted to pursue this form of body art as a career as opposed to tattooing.

Most of the time it’s noise free and as such this gives you an opportunity to connect with your client. Believe it or not, we can also make the scarification process practically pain free (unlike tattooing).

Have you seen a rise in this kind of modification in the past few years?

Absolutely. With tattooing being more mainstream and accepted (and rightly so), there has also been an uptake in people wanting to differentiate from the ‘norms’ of body art. It can only be a good thing for the industry.

Finally, what would you say to someone considering this kind of body art?

I’d suggest popping in to see us to discuss your design ideas so we can let you know if they’re possible and whether or not the body location is suitable. Don’t rush into the decision, take your time and think it through, research your artist and ensure the environment you’re having this done in is sterile, comfortable and fit for the purpose.

Summer Spin Cycle At Laundry As we head into Summer, we fling the Laundry doors to the Courtyard open and let the outside in!

Warm Summer air, and the joy of the sun on our skin, inspires us to bring you the hottest looks - from super cool festival locks to tousled beach hair and everything in between so you can feel a whole lot of happy about the hair upon your head.

For us, Summer 2014 is a bountiful season of two sides of the same coin for cuts and styling trends. Think soft loose romantic, daydreamer tousled, effortless beachy chic. On the other hand, keep in mind slick, structured elegance with a super high shine wet look. Apply the same thinking to colour and fall in love with sun-kissed ombre (which we’re loving tailoring to any skin tone and most lengths of hair). On the flip side we adore our strong block colours – white, copper and cool black.

Billie Mo is Laundry’s Head Technician – highly sought after and recognised for her unique philosophy on the true art of beautiful hair colour. Originally from Sheffield, her philosophy on hair has seen her scooped up by 2014 London and Milan Fashion Weeks. Billie is formally of one of London’s top salons in the hip capital of the world, Shoreditch, where she was style and colour darling to top celebrities and media figures. Laundry has pulled her back to Sheffield - making her hot property for very good reason.

Billie Mo Says...

“I’m all about less is more – in the long run the benefit applies to you and to me! You’re getting super beautiful super healthy hair which will take colour better. It will stay longer - meaning you don’t have to have your hair coloured as often – saving you money!

For me, the benefits are restoring the health of your hair, meaning my colours work better - giving amazing results! My top goal is healthy vibrant hair and a beautiful colour with superb staying power.

I often work with badly coloured hair which has been frazzled and damaged by overloading colour onto it. I use techniques to rehabilitate damaged tresses without you having to compromise on your colour.

My top tip for the Summer? Come and try my soft romantic ‘Sly-Lites™’ which I’ll finish with a soft rounded blow dry for a tres chic look or left to dry naturally with a spritz of sea salt spray for the ultimate effortless must have locks.”

To find out about Sly-Lites™, and making the most of your colour and hair health, call Laundry and ask for a consultation with Billie Mo.

Big Book And The Henderson’s There’s probably not a food cupboard in Sheffield that doesn’t have a bottle of Henderson’s Relish holding pride of place. Now, household bookshelves are set to get the Hendo’s treatment.

A brand new book dedicated to the spicy Yorkshire sauce is currently being produced by Meze Publishing – the force behind The Sheffield Cook Book.

“It’s a dream come true for me,” says Paul Cocker, who’s heading up the project. “I’m a Sheffielder and a Hendo’s fanatic. The brand is synonymous with the city and this is our chance to give people a glimpse into a world that everyone loves but knows little about.”

Packed full of history, stories, celebrity anecdotes and recipes, a host of city chefs have signed up for the book. What’s more, YOU could be involved.

“We want Exposed readers to send in their most imaginative Henderson’s inspired recipes,” he adds.

“It’s an institution that dates back generations – so we’re hoping there’s some secret family recipes out there that we can share with the rest of the city.”

The book is scheduled for release late August. Send your recipes to paul@mezepublishing.co.uk and head to www.exposedmagazine.co.uk for more.

Ink About It Some things go together, you know, like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong?

Bread and butter. Fish and chips. John and Edward. Ink and… water?

Newly opened in West One, Ink & Water is a design agency like no other… partly because it’s also a coffee shop.

Confused? Hush, little ‘un, we’re here to make it all better.

From branding to video production to website design and beyond, they’ve made it their mission to take design to “epic levels of awesomeness” – “at prices that won’t make you choke on your Hobnob.”

And their client list reads like a who’s who of the entertainment world. Gary

Barlow, Kim Wilde, Janet Devlin, the Weasley twins, Donny Osmond – the list goes on – whilst on the corporate front massive names such as the University of Sheffield and Waverly have both had the Ink & Water treatment.

The all new venue offers a place where you can either call in and have a casual chat about your creative needs or just enjoy a quality coffee et al. Like their name, the two shouldn’t work together – but, by ‘eck, they do. Drawn together under the banner of one united dream, this lot are writing their own rules – so pop in and find out what they’re all about. See www. inkandwater.co.uk for more

Simply The Best

After sifting through 100s of entries, the accolade for Best Drink Producer at the recent BBC Food Awards was claimed by the mighty Thornbridge Brewery.

The award is made to the company which uses “carefully sourced ingredients and skill to produce an outstanding drink.”

With the number of entries in the category doubling in 2014, Victoria Moore said the task was “Incredibly tough” but that

Thornbridge were “the one we were talking about weeks after the visit”.

Thornbridge’s Head Brewer, Rob Lovatt, said: “I’ve just returned from the World Beer Cup with a medal for our beer - so to win this award so soon after is a real testament to the hard work all my team put in day in and day out.”

Head to www.thornbridgebrewery.co.uk for more.

YOUR LOCAL

THE PLACE

We’d describe Couch as ‘industrial chic’, though that would imply the décor is cold and hard, and it’s not.

Couch is soft and comfortable, like your favourite sofa, or that onesie you wear when you’ve got a hangover. The interior is certainly impressive with exposed metal, brick and chipboard walls festooned with stunning artwork from local talent, Matt Cockayne of Goo Designs.

THE FOOD

THE DEVONSHIRE CAT THE READER: Laura & Jim Rangeley @ MashtunandMeow

WHY IS THIS ‘YOUR LOCAL’? “A really good

all round pub. Good food, good beer, optional nightcaps.”

FAVOURITE TIPPLE: Dark beers such as stouts and porters like Titanic’s Plum Porter 4.9% abv and Summer Wine Brewery’s Barista Espresso Stout 4.8% abv.

THE LOCAL: Now under the watchful eye of Abbeydale Brewery, this cornucopia beer house in the Devonshire Quarter first opened its doors back in 2001 and was initially inspired by classic Belgium beer cafes. The Dev Cat has a colossal selection of bottled beers, over 100 plus. Aficionados’ favourite Belgian Trappist beer Orval sits happily in the fridges alongside German pilsners, wheat beer, Bamberg’s Schlenkerla smoked beer, Kolsch (a pale golden aromatic beer brewed in Cologne) and American craft beer from Brooklyn, Flying Dog and Anchor Breweries.

There’s even a ventilated cool room next to the

main bar to ensure bottled beers are at perfect serving temperature.

Well-informed staff will help you navigate the extensive beer menu so don’t worry if you haven’t got the foggiest; or ask to look at the menu as it uses a cat symbol to indicate recommended beers. The draught beer selection hits the twenty five tap mark snaking along the bar mixed between cask and keg. Abbeydale mainstays Moonshine and Deception nestle between a range of well sought out micro-breweries such as Grantham’s Brewsters.

Free Wi-Fi and retro Snes games ranging from Mario to Donkey Kong and Street Fighter are available to play on the big screen. The food menu has been reinvigorated with weekly seasonally influenced offerings. Sunday roasts with all the trimmings start at £8.95 and for a few quid more at £11.95 two courses with a selection of starters and desserts such as beer battered brie wedges with a gooseberry relish and baked vanilla cheesecake.

54

A warm greeting with a smile always makes you feel welcome and the quick delivery of lemon infused ice water and the allowed time to view the menu put us at ease.

The menu displays a good selection of dishes from hot & cold sandwiches, flatbreads and salads – to our preferred choices of an ‘Urban Ploughman’ and a selection of tapas dishes.

A creamy latte and one of their delicious fruit teas built up our appetite for the meal.

The meaty British ploughman’s included ham hock terrine, thick slices of smoked ham, piccalilli and a beautifully subtle smoked Applewood cheddar. The terrine was lovely and rich, yet also soft and velvety as it’s served with the tasty aspic jelly, coupled with the piquant piccalilli and the smoky meat and cheese, this was a dish that really satisfied on all fronts.

My fellow diner tucked into some tasty tapas.

Meatballs with a spicy chipotle sauce brought mumbles of delight and the prawns with an avocado and lime dressing came beautifully presented in a trendy kilner jar. The star of the tapas-show though was the colourful chorizo with peppers and garlic tangy and flavoursome with a piquant bite.

THE VERDICT

Great food, a lovely atmosphere and friendly service ticks all the boxes for us. With their new venue on Ecclesall Road, they can only go from strength to strength - and we’ll be back soon for another snuggle on the couch.

Sheffield United Collaboration, alliance, partnership or just plain brewing beer together – whatever expression you use, let’s be honest, the output is the bit we’re interested in. Who’d have thought that one of America’s top twenty craft breweries based over the Atlantic Ocean would spark up a partnership with a Sheffield brewery? It seems Abbeydale’s flagship beer Deception has fans globally and this admiration has led to Founders Brewing Co from Grand Rapids in the state of Michigan visiting for a brew day.

Founders deliver intensely hop profiled beers and Abbeydale are masters of balanced flavours. Will the beer go for an English malt

base with American hops? Will it be an IPA or a dark stout? Thinking of one of my favourite Founders’ beers their Breakfast Stout which uses oatmeal, Sumatra and Kona coffee and chocolate; I’m hoping it might be a dark beer. To be released around the beginning of June, Abbeydale’s newly acquired pub The Devonshire Cat should be your go to choice if you’re on the lookout to try this collaborative beer first. I’ve got a feeling it’ll be a summery IPA with a special blend of American hops provided by Founders’ head brewer Jeremy Kosmicki. www.foundersbrewing.com www.abbeydalebrewery.co.uk

No Place Like Home Craft brewing has had a resurgence across the world during the past few years.

With over 1000 breweries now operating, the range of styles available has never been greater.

Many of the beers brewed in today’s new wave of breweries are brewed by professionally qualified brewers – others, however, are produced by those who’ve developed skills by brewing at home.

Recognising this great tradition, Thornbridge Brewery, Waitrose and BrewUK have teamed up to launch The Great British Home Brew Challenge 2014 on June 1.

Tav It!

Sheffield’s 2014 pub of the year is throwing one ‘ale’ of a party this month.

June 19-22 sees The Kelham Island Tavern hosting their Mid-Summer Beer Festival – where over 35 ales and 20 ciders await thirsty punters.

Fingers crossed for sunshine as the Ale-Fresco Bar will be popping up in the garden – whilst live music will be on offer on the Thursday.

Needless to say, there’ll also be some cracking homemade tucker on offer too – with both their regular menu and a specials board available from 12pm-3pm (12pm- 5pm on Sat).

They’re also nominated for the 2014 Yorkshire Pub of the Year – so it’s clear they’re doing a helluva lot right. Pop along and see for yourself.

Rob Lovatt, Head Brewer at Thornbridge explains: “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 winner will see their recipe transformed into a production brew by Thornbridge and made available through Waitrose stores across the UK. See www.gbhomebrew.co.uk for entry details.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Otto’s

344 Sharrow Vale Road, S11 8ZP 0114 266 9147 www.ottosrestaurant.co.uk

Join The Club Some chefs would find leaving the bright lights of London and a high flying career a tricky proposition. Christopher Lawrie had no such qualms.

35 year old Lawrie is the head chef at Eccy Road’s brand new Pointing Dog Clubhouse - the result of a £1.5million project which has transformed the historic Polish ExServicemen’s Club.

Originally starting his career here in the city at Sheffield’s Castle College (and winning ‘Young Chef of the Year’ while he was at it), Lawrie moved to the capital after landing a dream job at The Ritz Hotel. Following this he worked at Stovells, an award winning

restaurant housed in a 16th Century Tudor Farmhouse in Surrey alongside the two Michelin starred husband and wife team – before being snapped up by Fairoak Foods.

Taking a lead in innovative cooking techniques, and pushing forward on customer experience, the Clubhouse restaurant menu revolves around experiential dining.

Charged with exciting the senses with flavour, taste, shapes and textures, the majority of the menu is cooked on a specialist wood fired char-grill, fuelled by Elder, Applewood and charcoal.

Head to www.pointingdog.co.uk for more.

Man Alive

The big one’s back! The largest comp of its kind in Sheff, Man Vs Food returns to The Abbey, Woodseats, on Friday June 27 where four whopping challenges await - Pizza Heaven, The Mother of all Curries, The Beast and Billionaire Shortbread.

Spaces are limited so, if you and your team reckon you’re up for the task, give them a call 0114 274 5374 to register. Good luck. And, having done it ourselves, we really mean that.

THE PLACE

The greeting is everything in a restaurant, usurping even the starter as the real sign of what you’re in for; and with Otto’s that greeting couldn’t be warmer - with the staff a genuinely charming presence mingling and engaging with the customers as if they were naturally old friends.

It’s a touch you never really see anymore, least of all a hundred feet from the bustle of Ecclesall Road, but Otto’s has it, and it sets the tone for the warm and intimate Moroccan atmosphere on offer.

THE FOOD

There’s a nicely sized range of specials to choose from, but I personally couldn’t resist the chance to revisit some old favourites.

While falafel has become more and more commonplace in the UK over the past few years, the falafel at Otto’s was unique in just how expertly it had been cooked. Nicely avoiding the pitfall of the soft texture of an onion bhaji, each piece was perfectly crisp with enough spice to enjoy without overpowering. Served with a delightful tzatsiki, it made for a wonderful starter and the perfect opening.

For mains, the best-selling lamb tagine. Cooked to perfection, the lamb fell from the bone with no effort whatsoever, complimented by a rich yet sweet sauce that superbly marinated the artichoke and potato.

A decent portion size left me with only just enough room to end with the croissant butter pudding and Moroccan mint tea, but boy what an ending. Served with a rich flavourful vanilla ice cream, each bite of the pudding was an absolute delight.

Cafeology

A brand new, fair trade cafe opened its doors to the public last month. The Cafeology coffee pod, located on the side of sporting goods store Decathlon, gives customers the choice to take away or drink in at its location in the entrance to the sports store. Designed to enhance the shopping experience for Decathlon customers, the pod is open daily from 8am-7pm Monday to Saturday and 9:30am-5pm Sundays and provides free Wi-Fi for all customers.

THE VERDICT

For authenticity, and an atmosphere that makes you feel instantly at home, Otto’s is a winner. Beloved by the Sharrow Vale community, be sure to pop along soon and experience their famous hospitality for yourself.

PHOTOGRAPHY: SHAUN DOANE BY PAUL COCKER/RUPER ROWLEY BY ???????

There’s a new book in town – and it’s bursting at the seams with recipes, stories and anecdotes from our ‘fare’ city.

DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT...

PHOTOGRAPH @MARCABARKER

Picture the scene. A bunch of likeminded mates are enjoying a pint after work and chatting about what’s on the menu that evening. “You know what we need?” chimes up one likely lad. “A Sheffield Cook Book. You know, loadsa great recipes using local produce from local people. Sorted.”

T’was a light bulb moment – and from that moment on the team set out to bring something to the Sheffield table that, quite surprisingly, had never been done before.

“The more we talked about it, the more excited we got about the project,” says Paul Cocker of Meze Publishing – a new branch of the Exposed family tree behind the book. “At first we couldn’t think further than throwing Hendo’s into everything – but the more the idea took shape, the more we began to see the depth of what lay ahead - and that we had the potential for something quite incredible.”

See, the independent food and drink scene in Sheffield is positively thriving.

Our local produce is the envy of Britain – and we have some of the best chefs and eateries right here on our doorstep.

So, why the devil shouldn’t we shout about it?

The Sheffield Cook Book does just that – representing nearly 50 businesses and showcasing their considerable wares.

In essence, it’s a South Yorkshire food lover’s bible. And, needless to say, the response has been nothing short of astonishing.

“Everyone we approached to be involved loved the idea,” continues Paul.

“And, since we launched the book last month, it’s nigh on sold out everywhere.

We always believed it would do well – but even we couldn’t anticipate the sort of demand we’ve had for it. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved – and it’s intensely gratifying to see that all our hard work has paid off. It’s a great thing for the city.”

From bars to bistros and beyond no stone’s been left unturned in The Sheffield Cook Book. It’s positively rammed with culinary gems to tempt and inspire foodies of every generation and cooking ability – making it a musthave for anyone who loves the city.

PAT BYRNE (Henderson’s Relish) “A bottle of Hendo’s lives in pretty much every Sheffielder’s cupboard and is a staple at the dinner table. We’re synonymous with the city and absolutely chuffed to be involved with an incredible first-time project such as this. We also see it as another step in putting out the positive side of our city and helping in its fast continuing regeneration.”

RUPERT ROWLEY (Fischer’s) “Being a Michelin starred restaurant in Sheffield, we couldn’t wait to get on board with this – and the outcome has exceeded all expectations. It’s a wonderful addition to the city’s food scene and features some absolutely fantastic recipes along with tons of facts that make for great reading.”

SHAUN DOANE (The Everly Pregnant Brothers) “I love to try a wide variety of new things and, over the years, Sheffield has become a cosmopolitan melting pot of tastes and flavours. I’ve tried them all but, at the end of the day, you can’t beat a plate of meyt and tater pie swimming in gravy and Hendersons Relish - that’s why I had to get my pie in the great Sheffield Cook Book.”

BRYAN UNKLES (Cafeology) “Great work with the Sheffield Cook Book. The timing was superb - I’m sure I sent the very first copy to Colombia! I got some fab feedback at our tenth anniversary birthday. Congratulations to all involved with this excellent project.”

The Sheffield Food Book retails at £12.95 and is available from all the people and places involved in it (as well as Amazon and selected book stores). Head to www.exposedmagazine.co.uk for more.

Steak and Ale Pie

PHOTOGRAPH @MARCABARKER

For the filling: 1kg beef flank or chuck, cut into small cubes 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 25g unsalted butter 2 tablespoons plain flour 2 teaspoons Henderson’s Relish 300ml ale 300ml beef stock 12 whole shallots, peeled 2 large carrots, cut into chunks 1 tablespoon tomato purée 1 teaspoon dark brown sugar Salt & pepper to season For the pastry: 450g plain flour 100g strong bread flour 75g unsalted butter (cold) 200ml water ½ teaspoon salt 100g lard 1 beaten egg yolk (to glaze)

61

w w w. e x p o s e d m a g a z i n e . c o . u k

Method Place the flour, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chunks of beef and mix until coated evenly.

In a pan, heat one tablespoon of oil and the butter on a medium heat and brown the meat. Once sealed, transfer to a bowl.

In the same pan, add the carrots and shallots and sauté until they start to soften.

Add more oil if needed.

Put the meat back in the pan, add the Hendo’s and tomato purée and cook for another few minutes.

Pour in the ale and stock and bring to the boil.

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover.

Allow the meat to cook for another hour or until tender. Leave to cool and make your pie crust.

Place the plain flour and bread flour in a large bowl and mix.

Dice the butter into cubes about 1cm square. Add the butter to the flour and rub together with your fingertips.

In a large saucepan, combine the water, salt and lard and heat until just boiling.

Add to the flour mixture and mix together quickly with a wooden spoon.

Once it has cooled enough so you can touch the dough, ball it together and place on a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth.

Your pastry should be ready to use now.

Roll it out quickly (as the pastry cools it will become harder to work with).

Line your pastry tin, fill, and then cover with the remaining pie crust. You could use individual pie tins or one large tin.

Wash the beaten egg across the dough before cooking. This will ensure a nice golden colouring.

Bake for 35-40 minutes at 200°c until the pastry is golden. Leave to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

An Exposed Guide To Healthy Fast Food In The City. Words: Sam Thomas NOURISH Life can sometimes become a little too hectic to enjoy a home cooked meal.

Whether it’s a bad day at the office, a few too many drinks, you’re pushed for time or simply can’t be bothered, fast food can call to you like a siren to a sailor.

It’s cheap and convenient – yet it’s often pretty damn bad for you.

But, there is hope. A new trend is currently sweeping the Steel City - healthy fast food.

Here at Exposed, we went undercover to find out how you can you enjoy the naughtiness of a takeaway, without all the nutritional damage.

JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH

Our intrepid musical adventurer, Sir Mark of Perkins, recently donned his deerstalker and set off on a Journey to the Centre of the Earth. What would he discover? Read on, dear reader, read on…

Rick Wakeman. Already, you have an opinion by just reading his name. The view taken by the adoring crowd here tonight was along the lines of ‘king of the prog rock symphony’, or perhaps ‘genius behind pivotal moments in pop history’.

As a preview to the second-half performance of ‘Journey’, he opened the night with tales of how this particular slab of pomp and prog came about, and how, while he was helping build the careers of Bowie and Cat Stevens, they in turn supported his struggle to

get this unlikely project off the ground.

Although it went on to sell 15 million copies, it took real determination to get the music recorded at all.

Accompanied by about 70 musicians and singers, the second set showed why his vision of a musical interpretation of the Jules Verne story was worth fighting for. Philip Franks took the narrator’s role, and the story unfolded, exactly as we all knew it would - as there can have been few in the audience tonight not familiar with every note (I imagine most of them have been listening to it

on and off for the last 40 years).

It hasn’t been performed with a full orchestra since the late seventies, but the rediscovered conductor’s score meant we could all relive the indulgences and excesses of ‘orchestral prog rock’.

Duelling guitars and keyboards with a full string accompaniment, extended drum solos, choirs singing about giant turtles and dragons teeth, it was all here.

Appreciate it while you can. It’s difficult to see music like this ever being created again and live performances like this will not be repeated. Mark Prog-kins.

Licks of the Month

BEAUTIFUL SESSION FILMS FOR MUSICIANS – SHOT ON AN AUTHENTIC, LIVE MUSIC STAGE IN THE HEART OF SHEFFIELD.

By Lewis Mottram, Mark Perkins & Sam Thomas.

CHRISSIE HYNDE STOCKHOLM I’d begun to think that the only time I’d ever hear of Chrissie Hynde from now on would be in the ‘Whatever Happened to...’ section of a music magazine, but she’s back, with her sultry, sexy voice sounding just as it did when we all sang along with ‘Brass in Pocket’ without every quite knowing the words.

How many solo records has Chrissie Hynde released? Well, you’d be forgiven for not knowing the answer. There haven’t been any, until now. She’s continued to release records as The Pretenders since 1979 - and quite what’s changed since she decided this would be a solo release isn’t too clear as the songs sound just the same.

Her voice is one of the most distinctive and familiar to anyone with any interest at all in pop music, so for fans this will be a welcome return, often sounding just like a Pretenders record was meant to. For the rest of us, it’s unlikely to register much outside of the Radio 2 playlist. I can almost hear Ken Bruce telling us it’s been too long since we heard from her, after every track. I can also hear myself thinking something less charitable, but well done to her for continuing to make a living out of music. MP 5/10.

CLEAN BANDIT NEW EYES

WILD RUMPUS MUSICAL BLAZEUP

CHRIS DEVOTION & THE EXPECTATIONS BREAK OUT

Pop music nowadays has gone rather stale. It’s about time someone came along and opened a rather large can of worms - and Clean Bandit may well have just done that.

New Eyes, the debut album from the British electronic group, provides a reassurance that there’s still some creativity left in the predictable world of pop music.

Innovative beats which draw upon classical and dance styles are exquisitely coupled with guest singers that offer a fresh sound on every track. An unlikely pair up, but one the 4 piece band from Cambridge have bought together to create something pretty special.

Lead single Rather Be, the epitome of the record, and is sure to steal yours and everybody else’s speakers this summer.

Fresh, inventive and a kick up the backside to those in the genre, Clean Bandit have delivered a real cracker that will dominate festival playlists. LM 8/10.

Whether you’re looking for reggae, rock, country, electronica, blues, house, surf, dub or disco, this album has something for you.

Guitar legend Gary Lucas of Captain Beefheart teams up with Coleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy (Bitches Brew) in what can only be described as something so strange that’ actually quite brilliant. With such variation throughout the album you’ll be asking yourself whether it’s just a little too much. It definitely shouldn’t work, but it kinda does.

It’s the perfect summer album - and through the range of musical influences you’ll pretty much be able to find anything you’re after.

Stand out tracks include reggae soul beat ‘Musical Blaze – Up’ (a collaboration from Brother Culture), the rock sound of ‘Cloudhopping’ (which showcases the amazing guitar skills of Lucas) and the soft rock/country sounds of ‘Apocalyptic Boogie’ featuring Emily Breeze. ST 7/10.

Many believe guitar music is on the out, but if Glasgow rockers Chris Devotion & the Expectations’ new album Break Out is anything to go by, it’s not going out without a fight.

Reminiscent in parts of 1970s punk legends Ramones, Break Out captures that raw and gritty sound many bands have prided themselves on over the years.

Getting the formula spot on, Break Out packs a punch of hefty riffs that’re courageously held apart by catchy choruses and the occasional acoustic mellowing.

The album itself does lack variety at times, with creativity seemingly in short supply towards the later stages of the 11 track LP. It isn’t an album that will turn many heads; however it goes to prove guitar music still has some spirit left in it. LM 6/10

PUMPING ON MI STEREO

PAROV STELAR – THE PRINCESS

Electro-swing act Parov Stelar is the vision of Austrian DJ Marcus Füreder.

Following immediate break-through success with his unusual combo, Füreder is considered the father of this innovative genre.

28-track album, The Princess, is not their most recent work – but it is, perhaps, their best. A concoction of jazzy beats, effortless trumpet and charming sax are accompanied by samples of timeless thirties and forties jazz singers – leading to something quite special.

Oozing with charm, these high-energy musicians will have you entranced.

FILM ROUND-UP BY VAN CONNOR. HEAD ONLINE FOR BREAKING REVIEWS. FRUITVALE STATION

BEHIND IT:

Ryan Coogler.

IN IT:

Michael B. Jordan, Melonie Diaz, Octavia Spencer.

X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST

BEHIND IT:

Bryan Singer.

IN IT:

Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Hugh Jackman.

FROM THE VAULTS

Now fourteen years old, and an astonishing seven films into the series, Marvel’s other cinematic superhero team make a spectacular return with this swaggering all-stars affair.

Taking their cue from The Expendables, Fast Five and The Avengers, Days Of Future Past brings nearly all of the franchise’s characters back (along with director Bryan Singer) for a time-travelling team-up movie that will doubtless leave fans breathless and nonfans satisfied with a solid comic-book thriller.

Based on one of Marvel’s best known X-Men tales, Days Of Future Past opens in a dystopian future in which both humans and mutants alike are hunted and enslaved by a race of biomechanical killing machines named Sentinels. Fighting for their very survival, the remaining X-Men elect to use their abilities to send Logan’s mind into the past to occupy his own younger body and prevent an

assassination that will set their horrific future in motion.

Following both the critical and commercial success of 2011’s prequel/reboot First Class, there’s genuine fun to be had in seeing the X-Men franchise take a celebratory step back and unite the franchise’s various dangling threads, all whilst paying lip-service to the fans and giving us the triumphant return of the series progenitor in Bryan Singer. Singer’s return emphasises the film’s unwavering confidence, uniting cast members old and new in a solidly entertaining romp that never overstays its welcome. At a smidge over 130 minutes, it’s a very streamlined and efficient affair; with the action beats never failing to impress and a storyline (owing more than a little to the Terminator movies) which leads to a satisfying finale that genuinely elicits a smile.

MERMAIDS

Any film featuring Cher dressed in an elaborate mermaid costume is always going to be something of a treat.

This 1990 classic also stars Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci in her first ever role - and they’re a pretty cute little duo, it has to be said. As a child watching Mermaids, and not really understanding the plot, it seemed a pretty light hearted number - what with the mermaid tails and bopping along to the corker of a tune that is the Shoop Shoop song. Now, understanding the morals of the tale, it has some rather dark moments - tackling parenting issues and the forever tricky business of growing up. It all works out though when Bob Hoskins is thrown in to the mix to turn them in to a proper little family.

Bless. Keziah Gratrix.

w w w. e x p o s e d m a g a z i n e . c o . u k

Less of a film, and more of a showreel piece leaning against the flagpole of “based on a true story”, Fruitvale Station finally arrives in UK cinemas nearly a year after its US release saw it hailed by critics as “the must see film of the summer” and a movie that will “rock your world”.

In reality, Fruitvale Station opens with camera phone footage of the genuine murder of Oscar Grant - a down-on-hisluck young black man who was killed by police on New Year’s Eve 2008 - and concludes with more camera phone footage of tributes to Grant years later. Sandwiched between these two pieces of footage is a depiction of the final day in Grant’s (played superbly by Michael B. Jordan) life, a day into which first time filmmaker Ryan Coogler fails to cram anything of substance whatsoever.

His direction is passable, if “festival friendly” to an almost clichéd level; whilst Octavia Spencer joins Jordan in absolutely knocking their respective performances out of the park.

The true story aspect will gain it attention, but it’s a shame that in the race to get the tragic story of Oscar Grant into cinemas, Coogler didn’t pay attention to the word ‘story’.

GODZILLA

BEHIND IT:

Gareth Edwards.

IN IT:

Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston.

Sixty years after his cinematic debut, the titular Godzilla returns to the silver screen for his second American reboot.

But, while Gareth Edwards’ straight-faced twenty-first century take on the character succeeds in wiping away any memory of the goddawful 1998 version, it fails to be memorable in its own right.

Visually extraordinary, and made with clockwork precision, Godzilla feels so preoccupied with being taken seriously that Edwards and co seem to have forgotten to have made it in any way entertaining.

Of the human cast, only Cranston manages to give a truly engaging performance; his scientist-turnedconspiracy-nut played with the exact nuance required to keep it from becoming tired. Taylor-Johnson meanwhile is underserved by a thinly-written lead that could just as easily have been played by any jobbing B-list actor - and the less said of the movie’s female characters, the better. Godzilla may be known for destroying cities, but his 2K14 guise manages to do just as much damage to the notion of women in cinema.

Where Godzilla does succeed however is in the visuals. With a superbly designed creature, and genuine scope to his battles, it’s a movie ultimately let down by a lack of any kind of humanity.

GOAT LEAF & MORE

WHERE: CORPORATION WHEN: MAY 2

WOLF ALICE

WHERE: THE LEADMILL WHEN: MAY 6

Wolf Alice are a band on the precipice of something big. The North London quartet are finally starting to get some mainstream recognition - and their latest single ‘Moaning Lisa Smile’ has been getting considerable airtime on Radio 1- with heavy praise coming from Indie advocate Huw Stephens.

The atmosphere in The Leadmill was palpable; it really felt as if this was a band more than worthy of the often detrimental ‘pre-first album hype’. Even recent NME Award winning brothers, Eoin and Rory Loveless from Drenge, were in attendance to sample their angsty-rock-pop. Support came from the melodically tight Gengahr and then Brummies Superfood - who set the tone for Wolf Alice with a trashy 90s inspired set reminiscent of Pavement. Their track ‘Melt’ employs the dichotomous relationship of hectic guitar with a harmonious and calculated bridge rather well.

Wolf Alice stormed on at 9:50, leading with ‘Moaning Lisa Smile’ and inciting instant crowd participation from the ‘younger’ section at the barrier.

The set also contained some new material that embraces the punk ethos Wolf Alice have displayed since the start. Lead singer Ellie Roswell casts an unorthodox stage presence, seemingly totally immersed in the music, but she has the pipes to act how she wishes on stage.

Crowd favourite ‘Blush’ off their debut EP was met with audible cheers from the opening chords and, similarly, ‘Bros’ roused a singalong of sorts in the Leadmill. Going back to their not so distant roots, the foursome closed with their rowdy, crashing debut single ‘Fluffy’. The band were pleased, the crowd were pleased. Job done hype still intact. Ford Maddox Brown.

Checking out local bands is one of our favourite things to do - so seeing four of South Yorkshire’s finest all in one night at Corporation was a special treat.

Although the venue was still filling up as Regulus took the stage, the crowd couldn’t resist the band’s showmanship and energy.

These guys take straight-ahead rock and roll and somehow inject an insane amount of groove into it - a perfect way to fill up the place and jumpstart the night.

Awooga were next, and through layers of effects and ambience they managed to create a huge, dense sound that threatened to overwhelm Corp’s small room. Half of this trio’s songs are beautifully crafted, while the other half just plain rock.

Steel Trees don’t give a monkey’s - you can tell by their onstage banter and by their music. Watching them you feel a sense of unpredictability, as they throw themselves about the stage and fluctuate between glorious grunge/fuzz and unhinged guitar solos.

Goat Leaf finished off the night, receiving quite the reception from their rabid fans.

When the riffs are this solid, the volume is this high and the crowd are this into it, what’s not to enjoy? A fitting end to a cracking night of home-grown music. We love Sheffield.

IVO NEAME QUINTET WHERE: THE LESCAR WHEN: APRIL 30 Week after week, Jez manages to provide a terrific line-up comprising a diverse range of jazz artists from around the globe. Understandably, the backroom at The Lescar was absolutely brimming wall to wall with bodies tonight.

Clutching a glass of cab Sauv, I arrive just in time to catch the latter half of the two-part performance courtesy of the quintet, led by multi-instrumentalist and composer Ivo Neame – the group’s last performance rounding off their international spring tour for 2014. On the night, we were treated to a range of old favourites accompanied by new

76

w w w. e x p o s e d m a g a z i n e . c o . u k

compositions. Neame’s music is famously intense, moody and often quite masculine in places. The aforementioned is perfectly demonstrated in the form of Personality Clash – a turbulent, fast-paced, progressive piece which veers ever-so-slightly from jazz standard. These guys are real story tellers.

Each track takes you on a journey - something which is attempted frequently but rarely truly achieved by many acts.

A cracking night and, if you’re yet to sample the delights of Jazz at The Lescar, you’re missing out on something very special. Ebony Nembhard

RAE MORRIS WHERE: THE LEADMILL WHEN: APRIL 28

Rae Morris is the best thing to come from Blackpool since the Pepsi Max. Joined on stage with her band of three, Morris showcased a beautiful mix of her silky smooth voice and admirable piano skills. She needed to do little more than that to capture this audience - we were putty in her hands after that first seamless move into falsetto.

Making jokes about undoing her top button due to over-consumption of Mexican food, Morris clearly felt at home performing, making her mark on the Steel City with beautiful lyrics and a playful sound.

The most impressive part of it all was the rawness that captivated us way back when - before she worked with Bombay Bicycle Club and was on everybody’s radar!

Singing ‘Don’t Go’ with only her piano as accompaniment, was a highlight moment – bringing the room to an entranced hush.

A truly great musician… with really great hair. Bianca Fenton-Williams

NO LECTURES FROM WESTERN WORKS

WHERE: THE JOHN PEMBERTON LECTURE THEATRE WHEN: MAY 16 In any discussion about music made in Sheffield, it won’t be long before you mention, perhaps without realising it, a piece of music which was made in the top floor of a building known as Western Works.

In the late Seventies and early Eighties it was the only studio/rehearsal space around that anyone could afford at a time when such things were not generally available.

Just off West Street, the building itself is long gone, but tonight we’re gathered in the University lecture space that has replaced it. This event was not just about a reunion of musicians involved all those years ago, it was part of a celebration of what the building once was, but also what it is now.

Contemporary musicians, singers and academics performed and explored how the echoes and themes associated with the building have carried on down the years.

Music, soundscapes, choirs, DJ sets and panel discussions (and free beer!) were a perfect aperitif for the highlight of the night - a performance by Charlie Collins, Simon ElliotKemp, Nigel Humberstone Michael Somerset-Ward and former Cabaret Voltaire singer Stephen Mallinder.

Under the name of Ibberson, they gave a masterclass in musicianship as they performed their own take on tracks recorded at Western Works by Clock DVA, Eric Random, Lydia Lunch, 23 Skidoo and of course, Cabaret Voltaire.

I can’t remember enjoying a night of music more than this.

THE AUGUSTINES WHERE: PLUG WHEN: MAY 10

With an accessible blend of stadium-ready rock and emotionally drenched lyrics, The Augustines seem to be custom-made for a live show.

The New York trio, fronted by Billy McCarthy, brought it big as they wrapped up the UK leg of their tour - bringing the house down before tenderly putting it back together again.

Promoting their second studio album, aptly named ‘Augustine’ (reflecting something of a new day for these particular grafters), these guys are clearly grateful to be given the opportunity to headline their own tour. While debut album ‘Rise Ye Sunken Ships’ was raucous and uplifting, it was clearly tinged with regret. This time around, however, the energy and enthusiasm are clear – here is a band that have fought their demons and won, demonstrated

77

w w w. e x p o s e d m a g a z i n e . c o . u k

in a cathartic rendition of ‘Let Go’.

McCarthy has a good shout for being the most likeable frontman in rock (we’re pretty sure he gave his Gibson away!). The band judge their transitions beautifully; building with the anthemic ‘Cruel City’, getting intimate and entirely unplugged with ‘Philadelphia (City of Brotherly Love)’, through to a cheeky little cover of ‘Pressure Drop’ by Toots and the Maytals. “We’ve tried that in many cities - and no-one got it,” enthuses McCarthy. “I tip my fedora to you Sheffield. You got it!” As they play out their encore, and say their goodbyes, the room begins to empty – it’s then that the band decide to hit the floor with an acoustic and Cajon - performing an improvised sing-a-long in the middle of the dwindled crowd. It’s a moment. Ali Bianchi.

Exposed meets Godzilla director Gareth Edwards.Words:Van Connor.

Gareth Edwards

loves Godzilla...

If that’s something you didn’t know already, then it’s something you learn straight off the bat when meeting the young director.

With this year’s Godzilla reboot his first major Hollywood project, the Warwickshire-born filmmaker is full of boundless enthusiasm - something he tells me is down to the rapturous reception from fans at the previous evening’s London premiere.

As fan service goes, it’s hard to fault Edwards’ efforts with the King of Monsters. Following 1998’s spectacularly awful attempt to craft an Americanised series, it was time for a clean slate when Edwards, fresh from his hugely well-received directorial debut Monsters, came aboard. But, while the film has big shoes to fill, so too does the new Godzilla himself.

“Imagine if you had a load of images of characters from cinema history in silhouette - then you went around the world showing them to people,” he says. “And, when someone didn’t know one of them, you’d throw it away - I feel like the grand final would be between Mickey Mouse and Godzilla!

I think what makes something iconic is the fact it has a striking silhouette.

When we designed him, we literally put the settings on the computer so

that there was no texture. It was jet black against pure white. We kept rotating him, pushing and pulling and trying to get him looking just right. It took nearly a year where we got it to a place where we could rotate it 360 degrees and could go ‘I don’t want to change anything.’”

Critics and fans alike have so far been united in holding Edwards up as one of the movie’s triumphs; his rich yet classical style in perfect juxtaposition to a reboot of a sixty year-old monster franchise that was played mostly for laughs in its previous attempt.

“I love to take these sort of things seriously,” he continues. “If this happened, if there really was a giant monster that came out, it would be the

most horrific world-changing event ever.”

Certainly the film’s defining attribute is that it eschews the whacky hijinks of Matthew Broderick et al in favour of a narrative more serious in tone. It’s a characteristic of the film that Edwards is all too aware of.

“I think these things are most fun for me when you really believe it and get pulled into that world. There is some comedy within the film - but the important difference is that the characters aren’t finding it funny. They’re going through a traumatic time - so there shouldn’t be wise-cracking one-liners.”

At the time of writing, Godzilla has stormed the weekend box office -

taking in an impressive $103 million internationally and a sizeable $93 million in the US - so it’s only natural that Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures have announced development on a sequel. With Monsters and Godzilla the only feature length films on his resumé, Edwards could very easily coast by forever simply making monster movies - but the director admits to having put thought into fighting that temptation in favour of more personal stories.

“I can do a personal film - and I’m lying if I say I don’t want that to be as popular as possible. It’s a pointless exercise if you do a passion project and no-one sees it. If you do a commercial, popular film, then you want to make that as personal as possible - as artistic and creative as you can. Whichever end of the spectrum you’re coming from, you’re heading for the same place. I don’t know what will end up happening next, but the goal is to get to that sweet spot where people really like the movie and you’re proud of it. People are lying if they claim they aren’t trying to combine the two.”

NASA legend and all American nerd-icon Sy Liebergot is making a rare trip to the UK to talk about his pivotal work on the ill-fated Apollo 13 space mission. Andy Hil braces for re-entry…

“We just wanted to beat the Russians.

Period.”

Maybe I was expecting something a little more uplifting from the garrulous 78 year old from New Jersey. Y’know, reach for the stars, ‘one small step for man’ etc. Nope.

“Apollo 8 was probably the hardest to pull off, even though there wasn’t a landing,” he continues. “We knew the Russians were about to launch their rival mission - and our guys had no backup supplies in the capsule. It was a one shot deal. We called it the ‘guts’ mission’. If anything failed, that was it. Anyway, it succeeded - and as soon as we could prove we’d orbited the moon and the guys were ok, I jumped out of my seat in Houston, ripped out my earpiece and shouted: ‘THE RUSSIANS SUCK!’” The Apollo missions, you’ll remember, were the jewel in the crown of the American space programme, all played out against the febrile backdrop of the Cold War arms race. Whichever superpower planted their flag in the moon first would inevitably claim the geopolitical bragging rights for a generation; JFK vs Nikita Khruschev, looming nuclear Armageddon really heavy stuff. Liebergot and his team at Mission Control were choreographing arguably the most complex ballet of engineering, physics, electronics and manpower in all human history, in a hurry, before a worldwide TV audience of millions.

“But seriously, the Russians do suck.”

Sy is touring the UK recounting the event which pretty much secured his place in the history books; Apollo 13.

In 1970, a catastrophic oxygen tank failure during the seventh manned lunar mission led to a nailbiting saga of guts and ingenuity as mission control talked the astronauts through a series of fiendish technical challenges and a perilous re-entry. Tom Hanks starred in the 1995 movie adaptation.

“Weirdly, even though people love to hear about it, it was more a lowlight than a highlight. It was tough, and I was just fortunate that I was there really.”

Perhaps predictably, given his most notable contribution to intergalactic travel was made at the turn of the seventies, Sy Liebergot is somewhat disappointed with the state of play space-wise in this

80

w w w. e x p o s e d m a g a z i n e . c o . u k

most science-fiction sounding year of 2014.

“Disappointed is an understatement.

It’s all politics. In the US now you can’t imagine any politician spending money on something that won’t bear fruit until long after they’ve left office. That’s why we’ll never get to Mars. A Mars mission would take thirty years from planning to execution. I hate to be a cynic, but the problem we have today is most Americans don’t even know who the vice president is. Show them a picture of a movie star or a rock singer, though, and they’re all over it. We call them ‘low information voters’, and until these people start picking up the phone to their congressman and asking why America is falling behind the Chinese we’re not going anywhere.”

Well at least you got to enjoy the golden age, right?

“It was an interesting opportunity. As a kid I’d always loved science fiction, it pretty much taught me to read.

In the fifties - as today - those writers didn’t make any concessions for twelve year olds. I’d have to go back to the dictionary time and again. The inclination to actually get involved in space, the technical side… a friend was an electronics guy, we used to build amplifiers out of tubes in his mom’s basement. Then, in the army, I worked on high altitude weather

balloons – which is essentially telemetry. After that I decided I’d go to college for electrical engineering, got a job working for North American Aviation who’d won the government contract to build the modules.

I was transferred to Houston just when the control centre opened - and that’s how it happened. I’ve found that opportunities present themselves, you make a decision, take a path, and that’s the path you’re on. It seems to me I paid attention to those decisions and as a result ended up at Nasa.”

What do you make of the creepy superstitious vibe surrounding the Apollo 13 mission?

“There’s a bit in my lecture about this. The thirteenth

mission was launched at 13:13pm on the 13th day… whatever. Just a bunch of coincidences. You know what you get when you add up the letters of Apollo 13?”

Um, 13?

“Fourteen.”

Lol. And what about conspiracies… you worked on the moon landings, you must have had your fair share of people accusing you of being ‘in on’ the hoax?

“These people are insane. Like, insane insane. If Apollo 11 [the famous Neil Armstrong one] was a hoax, why did we carry on all the way up to Apollo 17? And also, seriously, have you ever tried to get 454,000 people

81

w w w. e x p o s e d m a g a z i n e . c o . u k

to keep a secret? When people like that speak to me I ask them if they truly believe the horseshit or they’re selling a book. Most of them it turns out are selling books.”

And what about extra-terrestrials? What do you make of stories concerning aliens buzzing around the space shuttle in flying saucers... is there a cover-up?

“Much as I would love it, and I’m a huge fan of scifi, there are no aliens. Or should I say, there might be, but there’s no evidence. In my talk I point to a lot of ‘evidence’; the massive rocks at Machu Picchu, Stonehenge, the Pyramids… if aliens did come down to earth in ancient times - I mean mastered the art of faster than light travel, traversed vast interstellar distances and overcome a pretty much insurmountable language barrier - how come the only thing they taught us is how to lift big rocks?!?”

Fair point, sir. And finally, I guess I’ve always wondered: how did the mission control guys get along with the astronauts? Was there any jealousy that they got to be the heroic rockstars while you wallowed in swivel-chaired obscurity?

“We didn’t interact with them much. There were separate training programmes. We weren’t jealous of them though… in fact, we made a point of insisting after the missions they’d have to join us in the local German beer gardens for what we called the ‘splashdown party’. We’d drink and bullshit each other; they never failed to come celebrate. We’re all peers these days. I did a talk in England a while back and Jim Lovell [Apollo 13 astronaut] was there too, at one point during the Q & A he looked at me and said: ‘They saved our ass’. And I responded ‘Didn’t we just’.”

And didn’t he just. Check him out at the Showroom on June 28. Buy his book as well, it looks awesome.

LISTINGS CLUBBING Newcastle’s finest funksters, Smoove and Turrell, are back this month with their incredible third studio album Broken Toys. We collared Steven ‘Smoove’ Moove to find out more. Interview: Lewis Mottram.

So, broken toys hits the streets on june 9, what can people expect from it?

More of the same really - it’s hard to put our music in a box. A lot of people describe us as a soul band, but we don’t want to be strictly that. We’re more soul-funk if you were to try and label us. I always say the soul comes from John’s voice and the funk comes from me.

Would you say this album has a different sound to your previous two, Antique Soul and Eccentric Audio?

I think it’s much more mature musically than our others. We wanted to do more complicated stuff, without the music sounding too complicated, if you know what I mean (laughs)? I’ve got a back grou d in hip-hop music so we w use a ground lot of samples on this record, much like we did on our other two.

Radio 6 DJ Gilles Peterson has already described it as “a great album”…

I was in Switzerland at the time when I heard what he’d said about

it, and I was like “we should just quit now, we can’t top this” (laughs). But yeah, to have such a massive name in the industry say something like that is just phenomenal. I remember him saying his favourite song was one called Broken Toys, which meant a lot because that’s the one we put most effort into.

What usually seems to be the case is that the songs you put the most effort and time into, people don’t like as much. They tend to like the ones that you haven’t put as much effort into. So to have that song especially praised was very rewarding.

You’ve got a string of live dates coming up this summer, what can people expect from these? Will you be playing a lot of your new material?

Well, we now have 3 albums worth of material to choose from, so condensing our set to play a bit of everything will be a challenge. We’re obviously desperate to play our new material, but the fans also want to hear some older material, so we’ll have to get the balance right. h some big names in You’ve toured with the past, most notably soul icon Nile Rodgers…

He’s probably the nicest guy in the whole world - not just in music. I remember we were on stage, and I looked to the side and someone was taking pictures of us playing. I then realised it was Nile Rodgers. I was just like “this is awesome” (laughs).

We did. He’s got so many stories about his past and what it was like being a black musician in the 70s and the struggles he went through to become a successful musician. He told us about a time in the 70s when he had to have two women on the cover of his album - because the record label didn’t want to feature him on the cover because they thought music by a coloured man wouldn’t sell. Crazy, I know.

He made us realise that anything is possible if you really want it, you’ve just got to work hard and you’ll get rewarded if you do.

So what’s next for Smoove and Turrell then? Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

Good question (laughs). I just hope that musically we keep evolving. However, we want to avoid spearing off in a completely different direction, for our sake and our fans’ sake really.

Finally, can you sum up what you i one sentence? guys are all about in Someone once asked me to describe Smoove and Turrell in three words, so I said “Smoove and Turrell” (laughs). I’d have to go for - “Good

He seems like a very wise man, I bet you learnt a lot from him?

Exposed Meets Smoove and Turrell.

Smoove and Turrell release their third album Broken Toys on June 9. They head to Yorkshire on June 20 to play the Willowman Festival. See www. smooveandturrell com for more.

LISTINGS COMEDY

Exposed Meets Julia Deakin.

You may know her as the red wine swilling, Lambert & Butler puffing landlady in Spaced, Alan Partridge’s chocolate covered love interest, or through various cameos in the beloved ‘cornetto trilogy’ of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End. Currently starring in Boeing Boeing at the Crucible, we caught up with the brilliant Julia Deakin for a natter. Words: Rachel Heward.

How does it feel to be back on stage? Feeling the pressure yet..?

Yeeaaahhh, I am (laughs). It’s been a long time since I’ve been on stage. I started strongly in theatre but have since been railroaded in a particular way with things in television and film, so it’s ten years since I’ve been on the stage. I’m just loving it though, it’s completely mad acting in a farce. I mean, I hate sports, but I guess it’s like playing a game of football - you just have to be on the ball, switched on all the time.

What attracted you to the role?

It’s a 60s script adapted from the French and I saw it revived in the West End with a few of my contemporary comedians in it. It was a modern spin and we’re doing the same thing. It was a great evening. I guess my character Bertha is like the voice of the man in the street amongst all the chaos of a man trying to juggle three relationships at exactly the same time. I’m way past eligible to play any of the air hostesses - and Bertha is the only other female role in the play. It’s a very good enthusiastic piece.

How do you find theatre in comparison with TV/film?

It’s much nicer to work with a company as you spend a lot more time together. Film is a bit more impersonal, you’re often only around a small group of people for shorter amounts of time.

For you, that small group of people often tends to be the same crowd. From your credits in Spaced, and the so called ‘cornetto trilogy’ of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End, you’ve worked with many of the same actors. How did this come about?

I regard them as family - everyone is always helping each other out. I was invited onto Spaced after working with Simon and the others before. We had no idea what it would be like, we just had a laugh. Marsha is up there as one of my favourite roles. It was the chance to be creative as there was no specific way she had to be. I actually based her on a male friend of mine, who basically doesn’t give a f**k, has a lot of fun and has a very nice life (laughs). Spaced brought about other roles and opportunities. Unlike other actors my age, I’m often working with young, edgy people, a lot of the stuff I do is aimed at the Pegg and Partridge kind of demographic. It’s great to see that young people are still enjoying the shows/films as well. I think Spaced is currently on TV actually!

How do you look back on the ‘Pegg and Partridge’ era, as you put it?

My time with them is the most dearest to me. They’re so creative, adorable and modest. At the wrap party of The World’s End I managed to grab half an hour with Simon before he was jetting off to China. Simon and Nick are having a great time in America. Actually, there’s a scene in How to Lose Friends and Alienate People where Simon’s character is driving through LA looking bewildered and amazed and overwhelmed - and that’s just the story of Simon. Back in the days of Spaced they were always talking about Quentin Tarantino, other idols and their ideas and plans, and they actually ended up living with him at one point recently. It’s fantastic. But everyone is really affectionate towards working here and with each other.

Finally, what’s next for you?

I’ve just had the script for a film shooting in June called High Rise, adapted from J.G. Ballard’s High-Rise, by the same director as Down Terrace, Ben Wheatley, so we’ve worked together before. This only happened two days ago - so it’s hot off the press!

ADVENTURE QUEST Walking and chewing gum. Not as easy as it looks, we’ve found, so we’re pretty excited about The University of Sheffield Student Union’s #ChooseFSF. It’s an audio tour that mixes a ‘choose your own adventure’ style interactive wander around the SU’s historic Foundry, Fusion and Studio with Easter Eggs - including an exclusive live cut from The Crookes and, hidden away under a table, a piece of Johnny Marr’s actual chewing gum!

The Smiths played the Lower Refectory in The SU almost thirty years ago as part of their Meat is Murder tour and, if you’re listening to the Soundcloud-set audios while walking around the space itself, you might find directions to the minty Easter Egg - which the guitarist donated to the project.

With speakers including Peel Session star Penny Blackham, and Exposed’s own Mark Perkins offering stories about everyone from David Bowie to Florence & the Machine, there’s plenty of adventures to choose your way around.

LISTINGS LIVE MUSIC

SUCH IS LIFE

Sheffield’s punk fuelled alternative/metal outfit Such Sights have announced the release of their next single - ‘Seeing Is Believing’.

The follow up to the band’s infectiously appealing ‘Where Hell Begins’ EP, ‘Seeing Is Believing’ signals the start of a string of releases this year, as well as live shows across the UK as the guys nip in and out of the studio to work on their LP. Keep an eye out for local dates, but be sure to stay away from the backstage area – frontman Niffen has a pre-gig ritual of getting around bollock naked and chasing other band members with his freakishly oversized left testicle. Consider yourselves warned.

Follow the guys on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, SoundCloud and Instagram for more.

LISTINGS LIVE MUSIC George Ezra is the new face of British pop. Tipped to make waves in 2014 by MTV, Vevo and the BBC - with over three million views on Youtube, he’s going the right way about it. Hitting The Leadmill this month, we caught up with the fella to talk gig faux pas, an alternative career in gardening and buying toothpaste in Sheffield...

Hi George, how’s your day been?

I went to the park actually and played on the swings.

No-one’s been around and it’s a nice day so I went out and had a little swing (laughs). I’m gigging tonight with the band in Essex, we’ve only just recently started working together and have practised about six times.

I think you can only really improve if you’re doing it live though.

You’ve shot to fame seemingly out of nowhere, how did it all come about?

I’m from a little town called Hertford and moved to Bristol about three or four years ago. I guess musically I started gigging around then, supporting whoever I could in Bristol, doing open mic nights and putting on gigs. It was just brilliant. Ultimately, what Bristol did was give me the nerve to get out and give it ago.

Unless you get busy, nothing’s gonna happen.

You’re playing in Sheffield at The Leadmill on Saturday 14th June, have you played Sheffield before?

I played Tramlines, in a little church, it was nice. I like Sheffield, I went to HMV and bought a John Cooper Clarke album. I think I also bought some toothpaste in Sheffield as well...

If you weren’t a musician, what would you be doing?

I’ve had a few jobs, a sweet factory was one. It wasn’t oompa loompas and all that, it was more lab coats white hats. I worked in a pub and I loved that actually. I worked on allotments, that was good being outdoors. Both my parents are teachers. I think I could try that, but maybe something outdoors, yeah.

See if the allotments would have me back...

Your house is burning down, and you can only grab three things (your family/friends/pets are already saved) what would they be?

I’m not attached to anything material, really. I’d probably panic and grab anything to be honest.

Maybe a guitar I guess? And my rucksack, it has most of my life in it but that’s cheating, isn’t it? I know, I’d probably pull on some pants, I don’t sleep in any and would want to save myself the embarrassment.

Finish these sentences: I’m not proud of this, but once, when I was at a gig...

I went to see Leonard Cohen, which was phenomenal, and I was a bit drunk. Me and my friend went out for a cig at the break, we were told that you couldn’t go out and come back in, but we thought the guy was bluffing. Then we weren’t actually allowed back in after. I still feel like a bit of a mug for that.

The scariest thing I’ve ever done is...

I don’t know what to say that won’t get me in trouble!

Actually, I was very nervous before the Radio 1 Live Lounge, very nervous, and I think it affected my performance. I’d like to go back and do another.

The thing I’m most looking forward to is... getting going with the band. At the moment we’re just dipping our toes in and I wanna get us all in a van and start touring. But apart from that, just summer.

I think I get a week off in August so I’ll go home, see my friends and do absolutely nothing.

Finally, in one year’s time, I will be...

Almost 22. What will I be? I’ll be... erm, probably quite similar, really.
