R O IT D E E H T M O R F NOTE Hello and welcome to the first ever issue of the Saltaire Review magazine.

Where to start? It doesn’t seem five minutes ago that I was sat, drawing up the initial plans for the magazine, daydreaming about the smell of freshly pressed ink. Although the idea was only finalised this summer, it is something I had thought about doing for several years and it’s a very proud moment to have finally done it. I’ve been asked a number of times to sum up the magazine and I think the best way to describe it is that it is a bit like a Sunday supplement, only monthly. It will attempt to document all the exciting things going on in the area as well as providing useful information such as event listings and previews.

But the most important thing about this magazine is that it is written by you, the reader.

All the photos, features and stories have been provided by local people keen to share and promote what’s going on in the area. I’ve been blown away by people’s response so far and I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported the project in its infancy.

The quality of the stories and images sent in has been phenomenal, and I’m sure it’s just the tip of the iceberg.

I’d also like to thank all of the businesses who have backed the project through advertising, despite having never seen the magazine in print. It is extremely encouraging to have made such a good start and earned the trust of so many people.I hope you enjoy the read and are encouraged to get in touch yourself in the future. haigh simpson

By MIKE FARREN

Saltaire does things slightly differently. It’s a cliché, but beer festivals can be full of bearded middle-aged men, with washed-out t-shirts stretched across beer guts. At least, that was my previous experience. If the Saltaire Brewery Beer Festival embodies any clichés, they are about Saltaire rather than beer festivals.

However, there is some blurring of boundaries. “Careful, you’ll confuse them,” one of my companions says when I order a veggie burger. I tell him not to worry – it’s Saltaire, after all. “Saltaire?” he replies, “You’re pretty much in Idle here!”

The debateable land of Dockfield Road feels far from Saltaire, as well as actually being twenty minutes’ walk. However, the cosmopolitan nature of the event suggests that the brewery possesses an affiliation with Saltaire beyond the name. A duo playing covers of noughties pop-rock hits replaces the customary morris dancers or trad jazz band. There’s a good mix of the sexes, a wide age-range and not exclusively white faces, as well as a lack of beards and beer guts.

Refreshingly too, when we arrive, almost five hours after the start, there are no obvious ‘casualties’ and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. The ‘beer campus’

layout encourages this, with five bars spread across the site giving the feeling of a treasure hunt. The two bars in the brewery building itself provide a sense of being at the heart of things, while a highlight of the session is the unveiling of the new Brewery Tap. This is a light and airy room with a good atmosphere when as full as tonight, though the advertised capacity of 60-70 would make it claustrophobia-inducing.

As for the beer, it’s only humanly possible to take a small sample, but everything I try - and my companions have similar experiences - is of a very high standard.

Saltaire brewery’s own beers continue to innovate. Tasting notes for their seven brews indicate hops from USA and New Zealand, while flavourings include blackberry and juniper, as well as the flagship Triple Chocoholic. I try only the Trio pale ale, but it is as excellent as expected.

Non-Saltaire highlights include Brass Castle’s Hazelnut Mild – a beer strong and complex enough to carry the hazelnut sweetness that distinguishes it.

My international favourite is La Trappe Blond: smooth and velvety, belying its 6.5% alcohol strength. A pint, rather than a half, tastes great on the night, but I regret it next morning!

KATE FOX: POEMS AND STORIEINTIMS ATE GIG OF

Kate Fox PERFORMS AN Poems and Stories from her residencies

By CLAIRE WELlHAM

Saltaire’s grand United Reformed church was a slightly unusual venue to host Kate Fox’s intimate gig, but in the end it only added to the charm and uniqueness of the performance. Born and raised in Bradford, Kate has strong local roots, most apparent in her heartwarming and poignant poem about tracking down her biological father, then only having a few months left with him.

As the evening progressed we learnt that Kate has the ability to take inspiration from

as ‘I wonder what Mick Jagger’s yurt looks like?’ and ‘What happens to the sewage from the portaloos?’

In between the poems there was plenty of time for discussion, and there could not be an easier, more open performer to chat to. We were encouraged to help ourselves to wine and throw any questions her way, which she answered with humour and honesty.

My personal favourites were the poems that

“We were encouraged to help ourselves to wine and throw any questions her way, which she answered with humour and honesty.” almost anything. One of her first poems was inspired by a line from Dr Who and gave us more insight into her Northern upbringing, and her love of sci-fi!

We were then taken on a journey through several of her residencies, from the Great North Run to her first ever time at Glastonbury. Admitting to not being much of a camper, she articulated the great questions that every festival-goer has, such

tackled the subject of Kate’s online dating escapades. And, as you would imagine from a poet, the importance of good grammar took priority over good looks and charisma, which led to some extremely interesting dates, and even more hilarious poetry.

As the show came to the finale, Kate hit us with an extremely clever and fast paced poem about us - the audience! What more can you possibly ask for?!

NOambTitiouABs playOU, tellTingHEtheR fascOinatESing An tale of saltaire’s ww1 aftermath

PHOTO By TRICIA FARREN

By MIKE FARREN

‘Promenade theatre’ sounds a modern phenomenon, designed to generate audience interaction in site-specific settings. However it actually invokes older traditions, embodied in the Mystery Plays. Pieces I have seen – such as 2011’s The Mill: City Of Dreams – have been in enclosed, manageable environments, unlike Not About Heroes.

As this piece about life in Saltaire after World War One progresses through the village streets, modern life is all too intrusive, with cars being diverted and stereos blaring. The effect is distracting until one reflects that the Mystery Plays, too, enacted legendary themes among contemporary hubbub.

The audience - around 15 at the opening performance - follow the excellent Kate Breeze, as journalist Ada Forrester, investigating how the war has changed Saltaire people. She encounters a representative group, from railway worker Ella (Indra Adler) about to lose her liberating job to men returning from war, to shell-shocked Private Lamb (Iain Barwick). Fortunately, despite their representative qualities, writer Hattie Townsend has fleshed them out, providing convincing motivations and the sense that life goes on when we leave them.

If much historical information - for example, there were 65,000 wartime women railway workers - intrudes into the dialogue, this is

excusable in a production painting a picture of the times in just an hour, and much information is unfamiliar and fascinating.

Excusable too is the slight variability of acting confidence: the cast’s enthusiasm amply redeems this, and characters are thoroughly inhabited by the actors.

The core of the play is the encounter between Ada Forrester and Private Lamb.

This powerfully, but without cliché, animates the pity of war. Lamb’s experience takes him from mill clerk to the Egyptian campaign, where an accident induces guilt, stopping him going to his death on the Western Front with his comrades. His eventual posting there to tend ‘the pit’ – a mass grave – completes his breakdown. As he relates the tale, we see the start of his redemption as he encounters a comrade’s sister (Enid Bradshaw, played by Amy Jagger) and the possibility of help from psychiatrist Professor Rivers (perhaps a nod to Stephen MacDonald’s ‘Not About Heroes’, concerning Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen’s encounter during treatment from Rivers).

The production succeeds as an evocation of a lost but recognisable Saltaire, populated by actual, believable characters from a century ago, but with modern sensibilities, except for some twists of circumstance. Moreover, it powerfully belongs in its location – which is the ultimate triumph of this kind of theatre.

THE LIVE ROOM E OUT OD GOES INGREAST ID MUSIC AND FEELGO

TWO DAYS OF RK LINE STREET CAR PA ATMOSPHERE IN CARO

By the live room

The buzz of anticipation for the Live Room’s two-day Saltaire Festival showcase grew as the audience gathered on Saturday at Caroline Street Social Club in the shadow of Salts Mill.

First up the Dig Jazz Collective spun some very classy tunes to get the event moving as a great roster of talent lined up to perform.

Rosa Sargent was the first live performer on day one, bringing poise and experience to a terrific version of Coldplay’s ‘Fix You’, whilst braving rain showers.

Then the weather moved everyone inside, where Jack Blackman gave us some heartfelt singing and lovely blues-guitar playing in an acoustic performance.

Next, brother and sister duo Nick and Sarah Smout were hooked up to the amps, and we were treated to some very fine cello playing and harmonies from Sarah, a great complement to Nick’s singing and guitar playing, with original songs and tasteful cover material.

The final act of the day was a trio, Backyard Burners, who really got the room rocking with driving upright bass, guitar and banjo, playing a combination of their own material and some finely chosen covers.

Day two brought some lovely weather, perfect for those dancing along to the Cajun Aces, a highly experienced festival trio with a lovely balance of old-timey fiddle, accordion, guitar and vocals. Very popular and a grand start to the day.

The Halstead Clan had told us how much they were looking forward to playing, and they put that enthusiasm into their performance, much appreciated by the large crowd. Sunjay Brayne had travelled up from the Midlands, and wowed us with his marvellous song interpretations and driving guitar, plus great humour and poise.

The weekend was rounded off brilliantly

by Alex Quinn and The Man In The Street, who combined many influences in a performance that revealed a deep love and understanding of music. They were a huge hit with the audience, who avoided the lure of the amazing market stalls in the streets of Saltaire to stay until the very end.

As the amps were switched off and the stage cleared, the crowds drifted off with smiling faces, a great payoff for all the hard work and preparation. We thank everyone who was there and eagerly anticipate another great festival next year.

SHOWBIZ LEGEND BRINGS MAGIC TO IVAL SALTAIRE FEIN AST CABARET SQUINTY MCGINTY STARS SALTAIRE FESTIVAL EXTRAVAGANZA

By @LITTLEVIENNA

In the 70s and early 80s the most powerful man in show business was Squinty McGinty.

He had the most and biggest stars in his pocket, and boasted not one but two Nolan sisters on his arm at the world premiere of Cannon and Ball’s Boys in Blue in 1982 – the crowning glory of a man at the top of his game.

On Saturday 20 September, McGinty brought a bit of that showbiz magic to the Caroline Street Social Club as part of the Saltaire Festival. Now a regular event, Cabaret Saltaire is hosted by Squinty performed by Shipley’s own Steve Huison.

The evening kicks off with some wonderful renditions of pop classics played in the club style by Mike (Snakefingers) Nicholas– you’ll never hear Norwegian Wood in the same way again…

The first act is accordionist Hattie Hatstar who encourages the audience to pick something they hate for a punk song - David Cameron is the first suggestion. Next up is Paul Weatherhead, who never disappoints with his wonderfully funny acoustic songs about phallic monuments in Hebden Bridge and double entendre-soaked sea shanties.

After the interval are the Scandalous dance troupe; impressively energetic and tightly choreographed to music that young folk

would call a mash-up, older folk would call a medley and elderly folk would call a bloody racket.

The cornerstone of any Cabaret Saltaire is the raffle, with quality prizes including a billion dollar Zimbabwean note and a joint of pork. This is closely followed by another staple of the night: Dougie Does, where Squinty’s sidekick gets his chance to shine by attempting Frères Jacques on an instrument he’s never played before.

Adding a splash of culture to proceedings is Moaner Lisa; Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa in a frame with the face cut out and replaced by a man who moans! It is what it is: very funny!

The penultimate act is Coronation Street’s invisible character, Fat Brenda again played by Huison. She answers the audience’s problems before finishing on a song - Dunhill Are Forever, in honour of Shirley Bassey and Brenda’s favourite brand of cigarettes. The final act of the night is the dashing and moustached Mister Meredith who ends the evening with a good old-fashioned knees-up and sing-along.

All in all it is its usual unusual self and offers an eclectic mix of acts you wouldn’t find anywhere else except at @cabaretsaltaire.

RINGING OUT THE BELLS THE DETERMINED CAMPAIGN TO RESTORE THE BELLS OF THE UNITED REFORMED CHURCH TO THEIR FORMER GLORY

By EDDIE LAWLER

The selection of Saltaire as a World Heritage Site brings prestige, but not a penny in support. It’s a pledge to care for the site. And to restore what has gone? The restoration of the set of six bells in the United Reformed Church may set a standard.

I had an allotment behind the church in the 1990s and I’d spend my Sundays, digging, sowing, communing with soil, sky and surroundings as therapy. Around 10.30am on Sunday mornings I was treated to a loud ten minute peal worthy of St Paul’s Cathedral – indeed it probably was St Paul’s, twelve bells resounding from a CD player in the church, amplified via speakers in the tower.

A clever little ruse, this, also employed to celebrate Saturday weddings. I may not have objected, but these clangings often came to an abrupt unmusical halt as the source was switched off mid-peal. And on occasion the CD simply packed in with an appalling grinding sound.

I was moved to scribble a protest poem about the situation. The minister took my protest in good spirit and invited me to climb the belfry with him. He sympathised, but pointed out that today’s small congregation could never raise the wealth required to install a set of bells. The CD was a second-best solution.

Sir Titus’s church is a rarity amongst nonconformist places of worship, with its decorated style, and almost unique as a nonconformist church with a set of bells (the other is at Port Sunlight). But they last rang at the Armistice concluding WWI. A structural fault put an end to their ringing, and eventually they were removed and sold as scrap for £85. So the tower shown to me by the minister was empty but for the speakers, and a flock of pigeons whose droppings, when removed, were sought after by allotmenteers for recycling into fruit and veg.

Church bells need a name and an inscription.

The church elders chose six biblical names, three female and three male, two of which commemorate the men who had so much influence on Saltaire – Titus and Jonathan.

Happy ending – maybe. But whenever you make a public statement, somebody takes offence. And the same rings true if you ring a bell. A few people within striking distance of the church said they were too loud.

One local resident actually threatened the minister for disturbing his Sunday rest. It turned out that he was given to late-Saturday revels, and a peal of bells does not assuage

“we stood open mouthed to see them displayed, pristine and golden, in the church basement prior to installation” I then wrote a song in honour of bell-ringers entitled Ring the Devil Away and sang it at the Saltaire Neighbourhood Forum. This caught the eye of the Telegraph & Argus, and also the eye (or ear) of Mrs Maggie Silver. Maggie was seeking a suitable way of commemorating her husband Jonathan, who had given Salts Mill new life, but himself passed away at the age of 47.

A pipe dream came true. Experts on bells advised on suitable weight and quality and Mrs Silver came up with a cheque for £30,000 for purchase and installation. The bells were cast in Holland, and we stood open mouthed to see them displayed, pristine and golden, in the church basement prior to installation. But who would ring them? Bradford’s Robert Appleby trained a team of volunteers from the congregation and they were ready to ring in September 2003, to coincide with the first Saltaire Festival, 150 years after the Mill was opened.

a hangover. I stopped digging one Sunday morning to witness this angry individual on the canal towpath opposite the Church during Sunday worship, under his elbow a horn like a large bagpipe with which he blew loud hoots towards the church, before stomping away purple-faced.

I asked the Minister what the congregation made of it.“What protest?” he replied.

They had been singing praises to organ accompaniment, and heard nothing from outside. The accusing party has now stomped away from Saltaire altogether.

We listen out for the bells these days, on Sunday mornings, and on Monday evenings during practice. They are part of the Saltaire experience and remind us of a bit of its history. And they have their own website these days, saltaireurcbells.co.uk. The question arises, what next for restoration in Saltaire?

MAKING AN IMPRESSION LOCAL ARTIST PHILLIP SCAIFE EXPLAINS WHY HE’S HAPPY TO LET HIS ART DO THE TALKING

By HAIGH SIMPSON

How would you describe your art?

I’d describe most of my paintings as impressionism, with a few tending toward abstract expressionism.

What inspires and influences the work you do?

I’m inspired and influenced by Van Gogh, Klee, Kandinsky, Hockney, Kahlo and Monet, …impressionism as a whole, together with art nouveau, and ethnic styles such as aboriginal art. However, music also plays a major role in my work. I always paint whilst listening to music and that music informs my work. In the main I listen to early Tangerine Dream, JeanMichel Jarre, Mike Oldfield, and Pink Floyd, along with the classical composers Sibelius and Vaughan Williams.

When do you do most of your work?

I think good light is essential, so when the sun is streaming through the window in an afternoon, that’s a good time to paint.

However, my mind is clearer on an evening, so that’s when the process of painting seems to flow better.

What is your relationship with Saltaire?

I briefly lived there in the 80s, but I am still relatively local, living in Manningham, and find myself visiting Saltaire on a weekly basis.

I cycle the canal towpath and Roberts Park is one of my stop off points, and of course this gives me an opportunity to visit Salts Mill to see the Hockneys.

What’s the best thing about being an artist?.

I think one of the best things is allowing the work to take you in a direction which you

‘Girl with Candle’ (acrylic) by Phillip scaife

didn’t foresee at the outset. I always start a painting with an idea in mind, but once you start the painting, it kind of steers you off in a way that you hadn’t expected. Once you reach a certain point, the painting starts informing you of ‘what it wants’… it starts dictating to you, and the results can be very rewarding and surprising.

What have you got going on at the moment?

I only started seriously painting about two years ago so I’m still trying to build up a body of work. I recently joined a group based in Bradford called Artbound Community who are helping new up and coming artists get noticed and showing their work., so I’m hoping that something might happen there in time. But in the meantime its just keep painting and see what happens.

‘simona’ (acrylic) by Phillip scaife

Phillip Scaife BIOGRAPHY Born in 1963 in the working class two-up two-down terraced housing of Bolton Woods on the outskirts of Shipley, I have spent most of my life living in Bradford. After attending Cottingley Manor and Queensbury Schools, I went on to do such diverse jobs as apprentice engineer, assistant archaeologist (on Ilkley Moor), and volunteer advice worker at the Citizens Advice Bureau.

The economic climate of Thatcher’s Britain, and the political Zeitgeist of the 80s, saw me adopt a somewhat bohemian lifestyle, which if nothing else gave me the opportunity to travel the world, including long spells in India, Nepal and

Thailand, which further endeared me to the eastern philosophies which have coloured my consciousness ever since.

The late 80s saw me return to education, and after obtaining a media degree from Staffordshire University in 1997, I settled into a 10 year stint as a library assistant at Bradford University. Having left there in 2011, I currently work in an Information/Admin position at Huddersfield University.

Although I’ve always been interested in art, I only took to painting seriously a couple of years ago, and I now hope to develop this one-time hobby into a more substantial pursuit.

KEEPING PACE WITH the STRIDERS MEET THE VILLAGE RUNNING CLUB HELPING PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES TO KEEP FIT, HAVE FUN AND EXPLORE THE LOCAL AREA

By IAN JONES

You may have spotted them bombing around Robert’s Park while you sup a pint at the Boathouse, or gliding past as you walk the dog down on the canal towpath. Men and women of all ages proudly sporting their blue and yellow jersey’s as they work towards that next PB or personal goal. The Saltaire Striders are the local running club for the Saltaire and Shipley area, providing members with regular structured exercise in a relaxed and social environment.

The club was originally known as the St Bedes Athletic Club, but around four years ago it decided to change its name to better reflect the area it operated in.

Since then the club have grown into a thriving club containing well over a hundred regular members of all ages and abilities. From beginners just starting out on one of our regular ‘Get into running’ courses,through to members training to race in local, national and international road races, members aiming for the big half marathons and marathons, those who like to get muddy in the cross-country season, triathletes, ultrarunners, to those odd souls who like nothing better than to head off into the fells on a weekend to run up and down mountains.

The striders smile for the cameras at a recent event

Of course many members simply enjoy to come out for a social run on an evening knowing they will be well looked after by a member of the Striders’ coaching team.

Members can enjoy a relaxed run through beautiful countryside while they chat with friends, share running tips, compare previous runs or races, or simply moan about their latest injury or niggle!

As a club the Striders enter the PECO winter cross country races and try to get as many members to come along when these take place around West Yorkshire. The club are also allied to the Yorkshire Veterans races which occur throughout the year for those aged 35 and over.

Many members go to the Bradford parkrun in Lister Park on a Saturday morning at 9am for the free 5k there, with many of the newer members having joined the club after taking part at parkrun. If you do venture down on a Saturday morning be sure say hello to anyone wearing the club vest.

Occasionally the Striders also take groups out onto Baildon Moor to practice off road

FILM AND THEATRE

FLASHBACK: SEPTEMBER 1987 IMMERSIVE THEATRE FINDS ITS FEET IN SALTS MILL

What comes around…

In September 1987 IOU Theatre were commissioned by the late and great Bradford Festival (1986–1993) to present Salt And Slack Water at Salts Mill. The Hockney gallery didn’t exist yet; the mill a disused reminder of 12,000 power looms producing more than 18 miles of cloth daily.

Saltaire station had only reopened three years previously.

IOU created a work of fiction in three parts: One: A break on the Production Line. Two: A Clearing in the Forest. Three: Back to the Garden. This was part mystery tour, part son et lumiere; fusing image, action and music into a poetic framework.

Salt And Slack Water became ‘a wordless performance rooted in music and dance, exploring a succession of landscapes, where mythical and everyday characters meet’.

Audiences were led through factories, forests and gardens; stopping at watering-

places, witnessing the turn of the tide..

The ideas and essence of this sort of conceptual, site-specific, multi-media production - which brought an avant-garde edge to the pursuit of ‘promenade theatre’ - had plenty of antecedents. The wild experiments, ‘happenings’ and performance art hybrids that challenged the conventions and roles of narrative theatre mushroomed out of the UK alternative theatre scenes through the late 1960s and 70s. The atmosphere within Bradford’s Regional College of Art was notably fertile, and Bradford became something of a satellite city for these new approaches.

Here, the work of Welfare State (International) theatre was pivotal.

These self-proclaimed engineers of the imagination, founded by John Fox in 1968, were very active in West Yorkshire during Fox’s tenure as a lecturer at Bradford

Art College (and later Leeds Poly) circa 1971. They nurtured an innovative style of street theatre which became the basis of many large-scale, essentially one-off, spectacles involving procession, ritual, folklore, pyrotechnics and live music. Their Parliament In Flames events on 5 November were celebrated annually by different towns; in 1973 they produced a Requiem For Kirkgate Market as Bradford Council chose, once again, to obliterate a vital slice of its heritage.

IOU Theatre - originally an anagram of Independent Outlaw University - emerged in 1976 as a substantial splinter group of artists who had left Welfare State. More abstract but no less socially engaged, they

FILM SEASON VICTORIA HALL IS BRINGING CINEMA BACK TO SALTAIRE WITH A SERIES OF SPECIAL SCREENINGS By moira FULLER

A new film season comes to Saltaire this Autumn, with classics such as An American Werewolf in London, Pan’s Labyrinth and Withnail & I being shown at Victoria Hall.

The screenings have been possible through the National Media Museum and Blaize’s CineNorth project, funded by the National Lottery, to bring high quality digital cinema to your doorstep. Victoria Hall are keen to see if there’s demand for local film nights, and are open to arranging a film club to decide future screenings at the venue in 2015.

Saltaire’s previous cinema, the Saltaire

based themselves in Halifax - now at Dean Clough Mills - and began a prolific and unique career exploring new netherworlds via odd locations, vivid installation work and their own evocative sense of the uncanny and the natural.

Fast forward to 2014.. in the wake of current theatrical extravaganzas by companies such as Punchdrunk - whose mesmeric shows like The Drowned Man, meticulously warp and weave intertwining narratives and sensory bombardments occupying entire buildings - a new snappy category has seeped into the world of arts listings. Welcome then, Immersive Theatre – no longer just an occasional adjective, now a fully-fledged genre.

...GOES around

Picture House, was at the junction of Bingley and Saltaire Road (where the garage now is) and closed in 1957.

The doors for screenings open at 7pm, and the films will start at 7.30pm. A licensed bar and snacks will be available.

NICK DAVIES

@THE ILKLEY LITERATURE FESTIVAL Meeting a giant killer is rare, even if the giant’s not dead yet. Nick Davies went up against Rupert Murdoch and his media empire, and he’s winning. On 18 October he’s at Ilkley Literature Festival.

By ROB WALSH

Nick Davies has been the one journalist relentlessly pursuing the allegations of phone hacking by Rupert Murdoch’s News International media organisation, even implicating Scotland Yard as the scale of the scandal grew.

she ‘didn’t know….’. The resultant £5m Leveson inquiry into the British press has so far called 300 witnesses and published a 2,000 page report. Part two of the inquiry is being deferred because of the criminal prosecutions still to come.

To recap - the News Of The World and other Murdoch papers hacked into the mobile phones of celebrities, politicos and royals, so they could produce privacyinvading news stories and sell more papers.

You could say some deserved it, but you might change your mind if it happened to you.

Through all this Nick Davies has hammered away, chasing incriminating details as News International frantically deleted emails to limit damage. His detailed stories were published in the Guardian, with most other national papers staying oddly quiet.

The story blew up big time when it was discovered the NOTW had hacked murdered schoolgirl Millie Dowler’s phone.

Eventually Murdoch closed the News Of The World and its managing editor Andy Coulson went to jail. Coulson had become David Cameron’s comms chief, which might show carelessness or even complicity.

Murdoch appeared before a Parliamentary Select Committee and admitted a cover up, whilst News International Chief Executive Rebecca Brooks got off claiming

Now he’s written the book - Hack Attack: How the Truth Caught Up With Rupert Murdoch - and is at Ilkley Literature Festival to discuss it. Given the implications for politics and public life, what would you ask him, when he appears at Ilkley’s Kings Hall on 18 October? Murdoch, who has been very much hands on with News International, is now elderly - will News International (now renamed News Corp) survive his passing? What role did Scotland Yard play in supressing the story? How much did David Cameron know? What revelations are still to come?

LIVE MUSIC GIG REVIEWS

Vatican Shadow @ THE KIRKGATE CENTRE

By Damian Jones

Shipley is banging. I’m in the local Kirkgate Community Centre and the place is filled with people dancing or lost, mesmerised by loud electronica. It’s a Sunday night in Shipley and I can’t think of a better place to be.

Golden Cabinet is a monthly - or thereabouts - gig night. It’s been going for about a year in the current location and has its roots in previous nights at the legendary 1 in 12 Club in Bradford. To my mind every gig just keeps improving, with this one being the best yet. If you have a truly open mind for all types of music, especially loud guitars or electronic music, you’re bound to hear something you’ll like.

First up was New Line (Related), the obligatory man with a laptop. Although the set had a familiar structure to it - noisy intro morphing into something more moody - it was all done smoothly. Some lovely dubstyle techno at times - a great warm up for what was to come. Machine Woman

then took over, with another slow start.

Lots of mood-altering noise that quickly moved into an immense looping of beats and voices, at one point almost monk-like.

Pretty awesome and totally matched by the always impressive back projection. Her set ended with a warm cheer from the crowd.

Vatican Shadow played for just over an hour and could have easily gone on longer.

Basically a full-on techno set played through a large PA, the music had plenty of variety and mood changes to keep everyone entertained and moving. There’s a definite military theme to Vatican Shadow tunes, drumbeat echoes of gunshot, helicopters and explosions. But this never comes across as forced or pretentious, it’s far too intense for that. VS himself has enough energy to get the crowd going, but the brilliant set did it and left everyone in an almost trancelike state. I can only recommend you get yourself down to the next Golden Cabinet night.

For more info visit goldencabinet.co.uk.

reverting to more subdued gold lamé, and the dancers, dressed as minotaurs, carried a hint of perversity mixed with budgetBusby Berkeley. Really, the only frisson of transgression came from Tennant’s wonderfully contorted enunciation of ‘Bingley’, while the hour and three quarter show revealed how the group’s longevity and consistent quality ensured that even Lizzie from The Archers knew who they were.

THE PET SHOP BOYS @ BINGLEY MUSIC LIVE

By MIKE FARREN

The trick that Myrtle Park pulls is to pretend that it’s some festival field, when it’s really just a park in a comfortable suburban town. Looking around the perimeter on a beautiful late summer evening, you feel part of the kind of rural idyll to which the English festival scene has always aspired.

Pet Shop Boys pull a similar trick, maintaining some trappings of sleaze, while really being so cosily embedded in British culture as to take an appearance on The Archers in their stride and an appearance in the charts as a thirty year formality.

Neil Tennant began by wearing a vaguely fetishistic porcupine jacket, before

From ‘West End Girls’ to ‘Fluorescent’, the only difficulty was which hits to leave out, and those that made the cut were delivered with aplomb to an ecstatic audience, dancing into the barely-fading evening warmth. ‘Opportunities’, ‘Suburbia’ and ‘It’s a Sin’ were particular highlights, while the encore of ‘Go West’ was not only a glorious embodiment of the duo’s camp pop project, but a poignant farewell to the summer of festivals, at which they have been a major presence – in both reality and radio fiction.

Pet Shop Boys have earned their position as national treasures, and if they find themselves, after all these years, back in Suburbia, it’s not the “suburban hell” of the song any more. Suburbia has changed.

It’s comfortable with them, and they finally seem comfortable with it.

I thought other people might also be curious about what their cats get up to when they’re tucked up in bed or out at work for the day so I decided to start hiring the collar out.

QUICK-FIRE QUESTIONs Who are you and what do you do?

I’m Simon Turner, a new resident of the village with a curious interest in all things cats.

It was this love of cats that led me to dream up Cat Track Saltaire (CaTS), my own unique feline line of work.

We loan out a small rechargeable GPS tracking device attached to a cat collar. The collar allows us to find out where the cat-in-question has been adventuring and provide the client with a CD containing maps and tracking data.

Where did the idea come from?

I first got the idea for CaTS when wondering what my own two cats, Harvey and Oliver, got up to while I was out at work. Oliver, the younger and more timid of the two, never seemed to venture far and was always sat on the doorstep awaiting my return. Harvey on the other hand would vanish for days on end, strut back home when he felt like it, munch some biscuits and then vanish again.

Did you learn anything about your own cats?

As I expected, Oliver appears to live in my front box hedge, occasionally jumping the fence into the back garden. But when I attached the GPS tracker to Harvey it told a different story, showing that he wandered for a good distance, covering over five miles in almost seven hours.

Despite these impressive stats it also highlighted that Harvey wasn’t quite the adventurer he first made out. News got around of Harvey’s GPS collar and people began telling me how he used to visit them at certain times during the day. It turned out Harvey was in fact a big softy, strutting around various houses seeking cuddles and food - he even has his own food bowls at a number of houses.

Do you think Saltaire is a nice place for a cat to live?

I think the village is a wonderful place for cats.

Both my cats have now moved into Saltaire with me and appear to be loving it. Harvey has already made friends with a couple of locals after a few short weeks and Oliver loves to explore the spaces around Victoria Hall, probably feeling safe with the lions watching over him.

Do you have any exciting plans for the future?

Next summer we hope to plot all of the Saltaire cats’ adventures on one large colourcoded map, to discover the most adventurous cats, the most cat-patrolled streets, and their favourite haunts.
