Racecourse on the 14th July, hurry tickets are going fast ­ and not just because I’m buying them all! The band is turning ten this summer, and instead of sitting around celebrating and getting a sun tan, the hard working, multitalented, handsome foursome, have jumped on the tour bus to pootle all over the country bringing their hits direct to us!

By Joy Lewis

Hello and congratulations on your 10th anniversary as a band, what’s it like to reach this mile stone?

It’s strange, it doesn’t really feel like 10 years has gone by. We’re all extremely proud and thankful that the fans have stood by us for 10 years and that people are still enjoying the music we make.

What has kept the four of you together for so long when most groups in the spotlight last a fraction of that time?

I think our friendship is the main factor in keeping us together. If a band are genuine friends and love what they do, then getting through the rougher times is a lot easier. The possibility of us splitting up has never even been brought up in any conversation in 10 years.

This will be your 2nd time playing at Aintree, are you looking forward to it?

We can’t wait, last time was a great gig. It’s a fun event for us to play. It’s a different atmosphere to the usual shows we play which makes it even more enjoyable for us.

June is the month for National Diabetes Week. Anyone with diabetes has an increased risk of developing heart disease, but if you also smoke these risks become even greater.

The good news is that if you live or work in Sefton, and want to stop smoking, there is a team ready to help.

Sefton’s NHS Stop Smoking Service has supported thousands on their way to becoming smokefree.

I feel confident I won’t smoke when I’m out with my friends” Susan from Crosby

T

he biggest birthday party on the Wirral this summer will celebrate the annual staging of the National Exhibition of Wildlife Art (NEWA), as hundreds of collectors and enthusiasts will be joined by a VIP – studded audience for a charity auction of original art works.

“NEWA has a history of donating to conservation”, says organiser Marion Tuffrey. “But the hope is that July’s auction will go so much further to support the wildlife which has been the inspiration for NEWA of the last 20 years”.

Thirty­three of the world’s most talented wildlife artists have already donated paintings and sculptures which will go to the highest bidder on the night.

The auction will take place in parallel with the exhibition preview, on July 18th, at the awarding winning Gordale garden centre.

‘Clarion Crane’ by Robert Gillmor

Your auctioneer for this gala evening will be the irrepressible John Crane, recognisable to millions from his appearances on ‘Dickinson’s Real Deal’. John will be encouraging the invited audience to be generous, as monies raised will go to the Wildlife Trusts, Chester Zoo and African wildlife charity ‘Tusk’.

In fact, advance bidding has already begun via the online auction catalogue at www.newa­uk.com, where anyone can register their interest.

When the buzz of the auction has subsided, the marquee at Gordale will continue to be a hive of activity. Sixteen wildlife artists will be demonstrating their various skills during each of &.)*4(!&*&.())*:%0!*/5*&.)*!./9<*`',0*Di&.<*UT&.*%$:*UD!&2**

‘Coal Tits’ by Martin Rumary (acrylics)

The exhibition itself continues at Gordale until Sunday August 4th. With free admission throughout, and a daily opportunity to win a signed print, NEWA provides an enjoyable day out for all the family.

But don’t discard this latest album without giving it a go, it’s quietly understated – typically Mark Owen stylie ­ and fantastically produced, all in all the result is a crisp yet free spirited sound. ?.)*%,='1*4,,!*&.)*#%+*9.)()*W9)$*9%!*!'++/!):*&/*=)*+'&&"$#* ."!*5))&*'+F*6.)$*?%K)*?.%&*4$"!.):*&.)"(*()-/(:*=()%K"$#*P(/#()!!* tour in 2011, they agreed to take a break for a year.

Are you ready for Teen Beach Movie?

oved Camp Rock? Are you a closet fan of High School Musical and Grease?

Well then, you are in luck, this summer see’s the latest Disney musical offering being launched on July 15th Teen Beach Movie. And with Disney already claiming that it’s going to be even bigger than 2006’s High School Musical, you are bound to be singing along to all the songs before the summer is out.

The story follows surf­loving girlfriend/boyfriend duo Brady (Ross Lynch) and McKenzie (Maia Mitchell). Maia plays a surfer whose parents are about to force her to leave for boarding school and leave behind her boyfriend, played by Ross.

However, before that can happen, the duo are transported into a classic 1960’s 5+2,'.(2)&8.#%)6.9%#0,21.9$>0+4.2:<.&'+8.'2>+.&$.?/%)+.$%&.'$!.&$./+&.$%&.$6.&'+. movie and back into the present day, Needless to say, the movie is jam packed full of tween angst, perfect ­ very white teeth, lots of bursting into song, dancing and tween mayhem!

From my professional experience, I can tell you that a single distribution of a media press release is rarely effective. Most of the time, editors and reporters are working on multiple stories at once and need some time to consider your pitch. Although your release may indeed be interesting and newsworthy, the editor may simply not have the space to use your pitch at that point in the media outlet’s editorial calendar. So make sure he/she sees it again when that editorial calendar opens up a few weeks down the line. Keep in mind also that because media bodies receive so many media releases and story pitches these days, it can sometimes take them weeks before they actually get to see something you may have sent them. That’s why it’s important to conduct extensive media follow­ups over the course of several months to ensure media reception, proper media digestion and hopefully media acceptance of your release or pitch.

I tell my clients, “No PR agency or publicist in the world can FORCE the media to use their releases, but they CAN make sure that by the end of the campaign, the media has seen or heard about their brand in one form or another – which will lead to solid media coverage.”

Most new product publicity campaigns are best suited for the 3 – 6 month period allowing for the often drawn out lead­times of some media bodies.

After the initial launch of the campaign, be prepared to spend at least an hour or two each day maintaining it: conducting numerous media follow­ups and making new media pitches, (emails, faxes, mailings %$:*+./$)*-%,,!Jm*5',4,,"$#*1):"%*()e')!&!*H5/(9%(:"$#* product photos, media kits/product samples) and tracking articles and features.

The Best advice I can give is GIVE IT TIME , as we all know in order to gain true momentum it takes anywhere from 3 to 6 months for a PR campaign to start to see results !

Till next time !

By Joy Lewis

ere at Lifestyle Monthly we all love a good party, but nobody does quite a well as the A List celebs! They have all the best bizarre ideas of how to out­do the last party, and a skies the limit budget to boot! I had a chat recently with Steven Duggan, the world famous celebrity party planner, we talked about dwarves, Rihanna and 2 million pound budgets!

Hi Steven, what makes a celebrity party planning different from normal party planning? Apart from the budget of course!

Planning an event for celebrities is much the same as designing for any other individual. There are extra points to consider including the security of your client, )N&()1)* -/$4:)$&"%,"&0* %$:* 4&&"$#* "$&/* &.)"(* ='!0* &"1)* !-.):',)* &/* %!K* ;"&%,* questions of course.

Celebrities are famous for requesting weird and wonderful things at their parties, what’s the most unusual party you have planned?

There have been some weird and wonderful things requested to date! Mostly wonderful however! We staged a wedding proposal with seven dwarves in the past which was different but fun. Celebrities will usually focus on branding and clever purpose built events.

What has been your most rewarding party to plan so far?

The most rewarding would have been a corporate Christmas Narnia event we did for a private client.

Many of my readers might not have the budget to employ you as their party planner, but can you give a few top tips on planning a good party, and giving it that polished look that you get at one of your events?

oldly mixing established, emerging and retro artists with top DJs playing until 5am, the Wickerman Festival (26th & 27th July) is one of Scotland’s leading independent music festivals. Hosted on a working farm, in the picturesque Dumfries and Galloway region of Scotland, it attracts music lovers from all over the UK. Its ten stages present an eclectic and often surprising mix of leading artists as well as alternative acts and up and coming talent. From dance and electronica, to rock, indie, reggae and punk, Wickerman prides itself on catering for every music taste.

This year’s hotly anticipated line­up is topped with Scottish rock band Primal Scream and singer songwriter Amy Macdonald who will headline the main Summerisle Stage.

The Enemy, KT Tunstall, Stiff Little Fingers, The Rezillos, Dexys, Bellowhead, Public Service Broadcasting, Dave Clarke, Kissy Sell Out, Elite Force and Justin Robertson are also among the artists set to give electrifying performances in 2013.

Now in its twelfth year, the two­day festival will once again come to its legendary and spectacular climax with the Saturday night lighting of the Wickerman, followed by a promise to keep the Wickerman party stoked into the wee small hours.

Known for being one of the UK’s friendliest festivals, music lovers can also enjoy the host of entertainment and %-&";"&")!*/$*/55)(*&.(/'#./'&*&.)*5)!&";%,R!*4),:!<*"$-,':"$#* a cinema, fun fair, circus entertainment, grass sledging, mountain biking and an array of arts and crafts.

The ultimate crowd reader, Luciano can get any mob moving with carefully selected tracks and exclusive remixes that electrify ears and keep audiences 9%$&"$#* 1/()2* 6"&$)!!* &."!* "$!":)* /$)* /5* &.)* 9/(,:R!* 4$)!&* neo­classical buildings and experience electronic music in an extraordinary way at this heritage site. @())E)*":)$&"4)!*/("#"$%,*%$:*-()%&";)*;)$')!<*.%;"$#*=))$* &.)*4(!&*+(/1/&)(!*&/*+'&*/$*%$*),)-&(/$"-*1'!"-*);)$&*"$*%* practicing cathedral, and 2013 will see them take over even more unusual spots! From their beginnings in the Lemon Lounge 7 years ago, they’ve attempted and succeeded in throwing some hugely individual events and outstanding parties with (the likes of Innervisions, Zoo Project and Bedrock.)

While this unique show endeavours to bring some of the best artists and quality music to Liverpool this June, the real reason behind this event is to raise awareness of the Claire House Children’s Hospice. In association with the charity, the Luciano and Friends show hopes to raise money and spread the word about the amazing work taking place at the hospice, providing respite, care and counselling for terminally ill children and their families... a fantastic team of expert nurses and individuals that desperately need our support.

Spanning across three venues, the main event will be held from 5pm­1am, with a pre party in one of Liverpool’s coolest spots followed by an after party until 6am. Liverpool’s mUmU will host the after party main room, well known throughout Liverpool, London and beyond, their signature off­the­radar parties always pool together the quality sounds of house and techno. Freeze’s new project Little Sister will take care of room 2, looking after the left of centre booking they have shows pencilled in with the likes of Boarder Community and Kompakt, so expect something similar this June.

This is one Luciano visit that should not to be missed. As the line­up continues to grow and we carry on nurturing this incredible event, make sure you are a part of this epic night.
