PAUL YOUNG and
special guests CHINA CRISIS Wrexham William Aston Hall - Thursday March 15, 2018 On leaving school Paul Young worked with his father for Vauxhall Motors and played in various bands at night. After singing in numerous bands, he introduced himself to the British public with the Q-Tips in the late 70s, but really came into his own with a formidably accomplished solo debut album, “NO PARLEZ”, released in 1983 and including the number one single “Wherever I Lay My Hat” which stayed at number 1 for most of that summer, followed by “Come Back And Stay” which maintained Paul’s presence at the top of the charts. With the release of his second album “The Secret Of Association” and the success of “Every Time You Go Away” his status as a world star was confirmed. One of many career highlights was his appearance at the 1989 “Nelson Mandela Tribute Concert”, where Paul performed the Crowded House song “Don’t Dream It’s Over” to worldwide acclaim. 2016 saw Paul release his brand new album “Good Thing”. Paul has recorded a collection of Memphis Soul tunes and this will be Paul’s first soul album in 20 years.

February
Valentine’s Day - Beauty Tips Winter V Romance! Get a good moisturiser. Skin typically dries out during the winter, so remember to apply a moisturiser before you apply any of your make-up to give you that perfect finish. Choose a lighter foundation than what you have been wearing, now winter has arrived your skin colour begins to fade. To get the right shade, apply a small amount to your jaw line to see if it matches. If you feel pale just add a little bronzer to give it a lift. Use less pink blush on your cheeks. Cold weather and typically brings out the redness on the cheeks naturally only apply a small amount and change to a peachy,neutral shade.
It’s all about the LIPS! Red Alert! – This is the month where it’s hip to be a scarlet women! With Valentine’s Day on the 14th why not make the whole of February a time to feel feminine and sexy. Banish winter greys and let some red into your life. Whatever your skin tone go light on the eyes just a flash of blusher, brighten up a sun-starved complexion with a vibrant shade of red. The red lipstick is a classic and never seems to go out of style and is still hot for spring 2018. As the weather is still chilly protecting your skin is a must, always use a moisturizer suitable for your skin type and with a minimum of SPF 15 even in winter as the sun can still damage your skin. A good moisturizer also helps to avoid any dry patches which gladly appear when you apply foundation on top. A clever choice would be to use a facial moisturizer with a hint of colour, this is y favourite "duel tool" I recommend dermalogica sheer tint. For smooth, kissable lips exfoliate once a week by applying lip salve on to a soft baby toothbrush and gently brush over your lips in circular motions, this will rid of any dead skin, keep your lips protected and in perfect condition by applying lashings of lippy, if you use a lippy with hidden extras then you will give them a treat as well as looking fabulous! Using a lip moisturizer before bed will keep lips in tip top hydration, with this kind of treatment you will have the perfect base for lipstick and lip-gloss any time of the year. Go gorgeous this month with these high street bands at reasonable prices; Rimmel London - Colour Show Off in Red Fever Mac - Colour Plus Texture for the lips in Barcelona Red, Lady Danger, Brave Red, or Dubonnet Max Factor – Hint of Red

Choose darker colours for the eyes and, smokey shades are perfect, colours such as blacks, greys, dark greens and purples, apply over and above the socket line and blend the lines with a soft brush to create that smokey, sexy look. Dark mascara is best for the smokey look and can be found in blacks and purples also, waterproof is best for staying power and can even be dueled as an eyeliner if you have a fine brush. For an added sultry effect curl your lashes and use a volumizing mascara. Don’t forget that those lips are the most important for a romantic look, it has to be red, make sure you choose a warm red that's not too orangey as this shade will suit most skin shades, lining the lips is essential for a neat shape and to ensure lipstick stays put, line them first and fill in with colour, apply a little gloss to the center for guaranteed attraction!
