INDIVIDUALLY ITALIAN Opening Times Sunday - Thursday 12pm-10pm Friday & Saturday 12pm-11pm

Finally the sun had come out to brighten up the days, my husband Stephan and I had been looking forward to a lovely evening out in Shrewsbury, starting at Zizzis’ – where better! a fabulous open kitchen area to the rear of the ground floor level, with a huge open pizza oven blazing in the centre and an upstairs seating area, there is a lovely relaxed vibe and you instantly feel comfortable and cosy.

Zizzi in Shrewsbury is set in the heart of the town; we went in and were instantly greeted by a friendly member of staff, who showed us through to our table. Kate the manager also popped over to welcome us and introduce herself and introduced our server for the night, Ryan, who took our drinks order and gave us the menus to browse through. I was driving so I opted for a soft drink but Stef decided in was ‘wine-o-clock’ and went for a large glass of Pinot Grigio. The restaurant is set over two levels with

We were excited to see lots of new options on the menu which we were eager to try, it is so hard to choose from the glorious selection of Bread + Nibbles, Starters + Sharers, Meat + Fish, Skinny Pizzas, Salads, Pastas & Desserts – after much deliberation we chose some Zizzi Olives to get things started as well as our starters of Bruschetta - Confit baby plum tomatoes on garlic brushed ciabatta, topped with riserva cheese, smoked garlic oil & basil for Stef and Zizzi Antipasti -Prosciutto, speck, coppa, finocchiona, bufala mozzarella, slow roasted tomatoes, olives & dough sticks for me. We sipped our drinks and absorbed the vibe – Ryan was great, very attentive and friendly, setting us completely at ease.

In no time at all our starters arrived

and they were as exciting to the eyes as they were the palette, looking delicious and tasting even more so.

Stef’s Bruschetta was just the ticket bursting with flavour and I was really taken with my Antipasti – the mozzarella and slow roasted tomatoes taking me back to a trip to Italy a few years back – happy times!

Stef really enjoyed the Pinot Grigio and decided to have another to accompany the main courses of Calzone Pollo Spinaci -Roast chicken, speck, spinach, mushrooms & thyme in a creamy mozzarella & topped with coppa ham and I picked one of the new dishes, Sea bass Cartoccio Fillet of Sea bass baked in parchment paper with butter, lemon, roasted red onions, courgette & peppers, served with Tuscan potatoes & an Italian naked slaw, which arrived really quickly. Successone! The Calzone was massive and looked delicious, as Stef started to cut into it, the contents began to ooze out and the crispy coppa ham was just the thing to compliment it – I was blown away by my Sea bass which was sublime! It was roasted with peppers, red onions and courgettes, which were so tasty

they made my mouth water with each mouthful, just WOW! We really couldn’t wait to see what was on the dessert menu and again were spoilt for choice. Stef is a lover of Sundaes and the Chocolate & Toffee Nut Sundae was definitely his pick of the day -Chocolate & crema gelato, banana, whipped mascarpone cream, toffee sauce & caramelised peanuts and for me I decided on another of the new offerings - Chocolate, Praline & Sea Salt Torte, served with honey, sea salt & mascarpone gelato & a caramel & hazelnut snap – if you could take a little piece of heaven and make it into a dessert – this would be it, delizioso!

Stef has sampled a number of Sundaes in his time, but this one was like nothing he had tried before, he normally struggles on the dessert but this time he was as enthusiastic as when we began the starters. The key to its success was a mixture of the caramelised peanuts and the gelato, which is specially made with less air and more cream - simply stunning.

My Chocolate, Praline & Sea Salt Torte was glorious the whole amalgamation was just divine – every spoonful just melting on my tongue, you could taste the Praline and Sea Salt – which were subtle but sensational at the same time – Buonissimo!

I was already a lover of Zizzi – it is one of my favourite restaurants, but this evening re-ignited my passion for their delicious food and the new additions to their menu simply make me want to go back again and again.

If you love fantastic food then you will love Zizzi in Shrewsbury, there is something for everyone – try it for yourself and be prepared to keep returning again and again!!!

The Dining Rooms, Great Food, Good Wines & Fine Times In Oswestry!

Over twenty years ago we began work on this beautiful old building, at the time a very lovely but unloved, boarded-up schoolhouse. Hundreds of thousands of meals later, we're continually being told we've achieved the status of an institution - only marginally ahead of possibly being confined in one!

Our original idea was to provide a venue for the full gamut of social occasions, in a setting of genteel imperfection serving guests in a grown-up, matter-of-fact sort of way. Despite huge changes in food fashion and fads in style, we think we’ve pretty well stuck to our objectives and our loyal droves of customers seem to like what we do.

We have a truly great reputation for providing really good food for large numbers of people with more choice than anywhere else and a minimum of fuss.

Our food is what it says it is: we call a pie a pie, the bread is fantastic and we make all the soups, sauces and puddings.

Our wine list is spectacular, full of real gems and even the house wines pass muster. We're great at hosting weddings, birthday parties, fashion shows, dinner dances, musical and theatrical events, casino nights, talents shows and even find time to be a restaurant!

The Dining Rooms has an enviable and hard-won reputation for providing a consistently high quality experience across a

wide range of customer expectations.

From a romantic dinner for two all the way through to grand celebrations, weddings, corporate hospitality events and great live music evenings, every occasion gets The Dining Rooms treatment. We are not "High Church"; we're an honest-to-goodness restaurant serving food with integrity in a relaxed and friendly manner.

So, if you're charged with organising any event for any number of guests up to 200, the chances are that we will be able to provide you with a workable solution that will exceed all expectations. Our success rates with gatherings of all sorts is unequalled.

OSWESTRY TOWN COUNCIL

Oswestry Town Council plays a vital role in making Oswestry a vibrant market town for both visitors and residents.

Markets in Oswestry date back over some 800 years. Our Indoor Market is open each Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and our Outdoor Markets are held every Wednesday and Saturday. Our Local Farmers’ Market is normally held on the last Friday of each month.

Oswestry Markets received a great acolade in being awarded the ‘Best Local Council Market’ for 2013 by the National Association of British Market Authorities.

This acknowledged the huge investment that the Council has made in the Indoor Market, in terms of facilities and promotion. This included the installation of a lift and a new heating system.

Cae Glas Park is widely recognised as the local jewel in the crown. Throughout the year the gardens are a blaze or colour and the Park has been a major factor in Oswestry receiving a 10th consecutive Gold Awardfrom the Heart of England in Bloom. In the Park are traditional games such as bowls, tennis and crazy golf and a children’s playground, which has been substantially refurbished. Through the summer a series of Sunday concerts are

held in the bandstand. Why not bring a picnic and enjoy this wonderful open space in the centre of the town?

Oswestry Visitor& Exhibition Centre is a landmark building in the town; built in 1407 it was the second oldest grammar school in the country. The building is now a magnet for visitors to it’s arts and craft exhibitions and sales. It has a charming coffee shop, offering a menu of local delicacies, and here you can find all about Oswestry in our town centre tourist information point.

The Town Council supports our town centre with many events throughout the year. Continental, specialist and local community markets appear regularly alongside our weekly traditional market days. The Oswestry Youth Music Festival attracts over a thousand youngsters each March, and Oswestry Christmas Live, on the first Friday in December, gives the town streets a buzz with fairground rides, stalls, live music, ice rink and a stunning firework finale.

There is a great pride & passion about Oswestry. There are so many attractions to experience and as a Town Council we are delighted to play a supporting role in the day to day life of the town.

Irish Pop sensations Boyzone are set to play a headline show at the QEII Fields In Trust Town Park Arena, Telford on Saturday June 27 2015.

Tickets are now on sale for the concert which forms part of the Boyzone summer tour, and Telford is confirmed to be the West Midlands date on that tour.

Ronan Said "We love the chance to play outdoors through the summer so I'm looking forward to a great night in Telford”. Shane added “The crowd in the Midlands are always superb.”

In November 1993 a bunch of young lads from the North side of Dublin infamously appeared on Ireland’s biggest TV show ‘The Late Late Show’ and the rest, as they say... is history.

Twenty one singles, seven albums, four of which were #01’s, twenty five million record sales, hundreds of gigs, millions of memories and twenty two years later, Boyzone are still going strong. A phenomenal start to a musical career, they scored 16 consecutive top five singles including ‘Love Me For A Reason’, ‘Father and Son’ and ‘Picture of You’ and the run included six number one’s: ‘Words’, ‘A Different Beat’, ‘All That I Need’, ‘No Matter What’, ‘When The Going Gets Tough’ and ‘You Needed Me’.

John Legend Tour_Double Page Editorial 05/03/2015 17:26 Page 1

JOHN LEGEND UK ARENA TOUR 'Love In The Future’

John Legend has revealed several personas during his award-winning career. Singer/Songwriter.

Musician. Producer. Philanthropist. Entrepreneur. To quote music industry pioneer Quincy Jones, the nine-time Grammy winner is simply “a genius.” Writing about Legend for Time’s 2009 tally of the 100 most influential people, Jones noted, “We’ve seen only the tip of the iceberg. For what he has already achieved in his career, it is going to be fun watching where he goes from here.” The fun begins now. Legend, one of the industry’s most innovative artists, returns after five years with his much-anticipated fourth solo album, Love in the Future (G.O.O.D/Columbia). Taking R&B/soul to the next level, Legend creates an immersive experience about romance, love, hope, commitment and optimism. Enhancing the experience: a rich, melodic soundscape--accented by compelling interludes--that fully integrates the musician’s gospel and pop influences, classical training and unerring hip-hop/soul sensibilities.

Love in the Future is a celebration and meditation on love,” says Legend. “I was envisioning what a modern soul album should sound like; wanting to create something compelling.

Even in these single-driven days, I still want to reinforce the idea of listening to an album as a whole piece of work.”

After an unbelievably successful year in 2014, that has included a million-plus, platinum selling single (‘All Of Me’), and a worldwide tour, John Legend will return to the UK this summer to embark on his biggest tour to date.

Friday 26th June 2015 BIRMINGHAM BARCLAYCARD ARENA

John recently concluded a sold out UK tour wowing crowds in cities across the country, including Birmingham.

A special edition version of his latest album, ‘Love In The Future’ including his massive hits ‘Ordinary People’ and 'All Of Me' - is out now; the gold-selling album has currently sold over 230,000 copies to date.

Madonna Tour_Double Page Editorial 16/04/2015 16:29 Page 1

NEW WORLD TOUR

“Madonna continues to be one of the most successful touring artists in history – her shows are legendary and we are thrilled to have her going back on tour,” Arthur Fogel, President - Global Touring and Chairman - Global Music.

The “Rebel Heart” Tour follows the March 9th release of Madonna’s Rebel Heart album on Interscope Records. Rave reviews for Madonna’s 13th studio album include: The Sun (UK) “The Queen of Pop will reign again – Madonna is about to release her best album in l7 years and one of the greatest of her career.”

NY Times: “They won’t experience the celebrity of Madonna the fashion statement but the Madonna who has kept us listening for decades: Madonna the musician”.

Following Madonna’s stunning performance on the Grammys®, three songs from Rebel Heart topped the Global iTunes Chart. The multi-Grammy® winner’s current single “Living For Love” went to No. 1 on the Billboard Dance Charts – her 44th time at the top spot. Madonna also recently performed on The Brits in London, hitting the headlines for more than her music, after taking a tumble down some steps, due to an ‘over-tightly tied cape’.

Along with extraordinary critical acclaim as an artist, songwriter and producer, Madonna’s reputation as one of the most successful live performers of all time speaks for itself. The 2008/2009 Sticky & Sweet tour is the highest grossing tour of all time for a solo artist and the 2012 MDNA tour was the most successful tour of that year.

MARY J BLIGE NEW SINGLE & LIVE UK DATES

Global superstar and undisputed Queen of contemporary soul Mary J Blige follows her show-stealing performance alongside her friend and collaborator Sam Smith at last week’s Grammy Awards, with the release of her new single “Doubt”. The single, which impacts on March 30th, was cowritten and produced by Sam Romans, and is taken from Mary’s hugely acclaimed recent album “The London Sessions”.

Fans of the New Yorker’s incredible live show will have the chance to see and hear Mary and full band in the UK as she announces 3 major UK dates in July. The shows are as follows:

BIRMINGHAM BARCLAYCARD ARENA

Friday 3rd July 2015

Tickets for Manchester and Birmingham are priced £35, £40 & £50 (subject to per-ticket charge plus order processing fee) and are available from www.livenation.co.uk

Tickets for New Look Wireless are on sale now from www.wirelessfestival.co.uk.

Mary J Blige who has sold over 50 million albums, won 9 Grammy Awards (plus a staggering 31 nominations), and been widely acknowledged as the greatest, realest and most powerful soul singer of her generation, arrived in London at the beginning of July to write and record a whole album, from scratch, with the cream of the UK music scene.

In the various studios across the capital, some less salubrious than an artist of her stature would be used to, it quickly became apparent that something truly special was evolving. The result, altogether thrilling, is an album that displays the true evolution of an artist with each of the collaborators working with Blige to create a record driven by her one-of-a-kind voice.

“A Triumph… Blige sings with a shocking intensity…

A bold transatlantic adventure” Daily Telegraph 4*

“imperious and immaculate throughout” The Times 4*

“The coolest person in music has released something a bit special. Brilliant and beautiful” Heat 5*

“(The London Sessions) witnesses the reawakening of one of modern soul’s most durable sirens” Q 4*

Above: Jo Bregazzi- Managing Director & Permanent Cosmetics Nurse Specialist “I love spending time working with my clients, to achieve a look that is perfect for them which will increase their self confidence.

We offer a range of permanent cosmetic makeup treatments for you to choose from:

Since training in Micropigmentation, I have seen how the treatments can have such an overwhelming and positive effect on a wide variety of people, from those who are starting to feel ‘invisible’ with the loss of facial colour and definition we experience as we get older, to people fed up with pencilling their eyebrows and eyeliner every day, or those who are undergoing chemotherapy and have lost their eyebrows completely.

As an artist, I love using my painting skills to camouflage scar tissue and to create 3D nipples and areolas. This is such rewarding work. I feel very lucky to be able to help people increase their self confidence by doing something I love".

Permanent Cosmetic Makeup is a non-surgical procedure known as Micropigmentation. It is a very gentle and advanced procedure similar to tattooing but we use pigments that fade over time rather than permanent tattooing inks and we do not go into the skin as deeply as a traditional tattooist would do.

You may also hear Permanent Cosmetic Makeup called Cosmetic tattooing, Permanent cosmetics, Semi-permanent makeup or Medical tattooing.

Red Arrows Return To RAF Cosford Air Show

Organisers of the RAF Cosford Air Show confirmed that the world famous Red Arrows would again be headlining the show on Sunday 14th June 2015.

Acknowledged as one of the best aerobatic display teams in the world, the Red Arrows have recently revealed a new paint scheme for their Hawk aircraft this year, showcasing them as the ‘Best of British’. The team’s display mixes graceful nine-ship formations with thrilling synchro manoeuvres, all of which involve their patriotic red, white & blue smoke.

Air show spokesperson Peter Reoch said: “The Red Arrows inspire and entertain millions of people annually and we are extremely pleased to see them returning to RAF Cosford. The flying display for this year’s show is filling up fast, with a carefully selected mix of exciting military aircraft, historic warbirds and entertaining civilian acts.”

With the news of the Red Arrows attendance, organisers are again reminding visitors of the new advance ticket only policy, which means unlike previous shows tickets will not be sold at the gate. Adult tickets, priced at £22, are already on sale online and will be available from selected outlets from April.

The aggressive styling, the lower chassis and the badge, all tell you this is no ordinary car.

This is a Fiesta ST.

At 182 PS, 0-62 in 6.9 seconds, 290Nm of torque and a top speed of 139 mph (224 km/h), the car’s performance is beyond question: more than 5000km of track testing and fine-tuning at Germany’s legendary Nürburgring circuit, prove it.

With its sports suspension, six-speed transmission, enhanced brakes and advanced technology, the new Fiesta ST delivers the ultimate in driving thrills. Yet it remains spacious, comfortable and highly fuel-efficient too.

CONTEMPORARY, CUTTING-EDGE DESIGN...

Aggressive styling, a road-hugging profile and ST spoiler, plus the options of 17” alloys and red brake calipers: the new Fiesta ST has a distinctive presence. Every bold colour option conveys a striking image too. And when you ease into the Recaro driving seat and look around, there’s no doubt

Driving Just Got Better! you’re behind the leather-trimmed steering wheel of a performance car.

FUEL-SAVING PERFORMANCE...

Power and economy. Performance and efficiency. Through innovative technology and advanced engineering, the Fiesta ST delivers it all: without compromise.

The revolutionary new 1.6-litre, 4-cylinder EcoBoost petrol engine gives you all the power you’d expect from a conventional engine, with fuel economy of up to 47.9mpg (combined)* and CO2 emissions as low as 138g/km.

The Fiesta ST has a 6-speed manual transmission, specifically tuned to match the specific characteristics of the 1.6-litre EcoBoost engine and its high-end top speed. The result is maximum power, torque and fuel efficiency as you accelerate through the gears.

TECHNOLOGY WITH A PURPOSE...

From hands-free control of your music and mobile calls using Ford SYNC, to the revolutionary 1.6-litre EcoBoost petrol engine every smart technology in the Fiesta ST is designed to make life easier, keep you connected on the move and, above all, help you enjoy every drive.

FORD SYNC. ADVANCED HANDSFREE TECHNOLOGY...

Ford SYNC lets you control your music and make and receive calls on your mobile, using simple, direct voice commands. For example, if ‘home’ is listed as a contact on your mobile, you just need to say: “Call home” and the system will automatically dial that number.

You can use voice commands to play songs from a USB or MP3/iPod®too, or when you’re streaming music from a Bluetooth®-compatible phone. The system even reads your incoming texts aloud.

INTEGRATED NAVIGATION MAKES SURE YOU GET THERE...

The Fiesta ST has a fully integrated satnav system with a 4.2” colour screen and DAB audio. This responds to real-time road speed and the latest traffic conditions, delivering more accurate estimated arrival times and trip information too.

CONFIDENCE IN CHALLENGING CONDITIONS...

Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) incorporates a range of

technologies designed to give you greater control of your vehicle and help keep you safe. For example, sensors constantly monitor the speed of each individual wheel, the car’s ‘yaw rate’ (its angle and direction) and steering angle. If you have to steer sharply left or right, perhaps to avoid an obstacle, ESP precisely balances braking power between each individual wheel and can also reduce power from the engine.

This helps counter understeer and oversteer, making your car more stable and easier for you to control. ESP and Traction Control can also help prevent wheelspin in wet or icy conditions. ESP has three different modes by switch. 1. On: 100% intervention by the system. 2.

Wide slip mode: which allows for a more exuberant driving style with ‘some’ intervention. 3. Off: which is only recommended for professional drivers used to driving without ESP.

MAXIMUM CORNERING CONTROL...

Torque Vectoring Control balances engine torque between the front wheels to suit the road surface and

driving conditions. Operating at 100 times a second, the system is 33 times faster than the blink of an eye. Which means more grip and ultra-precise handling as you’ll discover when you’re accelerating through corners.

EFFORTLESS MANOEUVRING AND CRUISING...

Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS) automatically adjusts to provide easier, lighter steering when you’re parking in a tight spot and firmer steering for more control on motorways. Unlike conventional power-assisted steering that operates continuously and consumes energy and fuel, our EPAS only operates when required, further improving fuel economy.

PITCH-PERFECT SOUND...

An optional state-of-the-art Sony DAB radio/CD system includes eight premium audio speakers.

And not only does it let you enjoy your favourite music when you’re driving; it also displays information about the track playing. Depending on which version you choose, the system can even display the latest news headlines.
