Benefitting Cancer Charities

From a first event organised in June 2009 by Monroe's Pub owner Neil Wyatt, the Torrevieja based fundraising concert has gone from strength to strength over the past decade.

2019 marks both the tenth anniversary of Rock Against Cancer and the 30th Anniversary of Monroe's Pub. Thus the event is going to a two-day weekend event for 2019 and the team at Midas Touch will be both promoting this fun weekend and publishing updates every month.

We will also be producing a very special Rock Against Cancer edition of The Midas Touch in June 2019 to coincide with our two concert days of June 15 and 16,

Our Goal is to have as many pubs, cafes, clubs, associations, etc, all put on one event for Rock Against Cancer so that we can continue to raise funds and awareness for the fight against cancer and research for a cure.

Since we have other publications in the UK, we also support Cancer Research UK and other cancer causes throughout Europe.

By taking out an advert in The Midas Touch or our printed paper, The Local Touch, joining us at Expo Torrevieja, or planning your own fundraising event, you can help us achieve so much more than any one entity.

Together we are stronger in looking for a cure for cancer plus helping to spread the message of awareness and the importance of testing for everyone.

Depeche Mode's Martin Gore to release instrumental album One of England's most treasured songwriters, vocalists all round musical aficionados has announced a brand new album waiting in the wings, set to arrive 27th April.

Martin Gore is best-known as part of the decade-spanning synth-rock outfit Depeche Mode, alongside Andy Fletcher and Dave Gahan. Having sold over 100million records across the world, it's safe to say he knows exactly how to make sounds that truly resonate with the public, and from what we've heard of his latest offering this reputation shows no signs of being ruined when the release date arrives.

MG will be unveiled via the legendary British imprint, Mute (home to Depeche Mode, amongst many other outstanding outfits), with the title clearly a reference to this being something of a personal experiment for Gore.

Entirely instrumental, and born largely of dance and electronica influences, the producer began work in the immediate aftermath of his band's 2013 Delta Machine tour, after returning to his Santa Barbara home. So far our ears have been enchanted by the first track to be made public- Europa Hymn - and its futurist atmospheres, although we're unsurprised at how accomplished this is.

Gore has been responsible for the Mode's innumerable melodies, harmonies and non-vocal sections since 1981, and that pedigree has stood him in very good stead for this fresh endeavour.

Fitting in that it arrives in the same month that Blade Runner returns to British cinemas, for all intents and purposes the tune is a bonafide science fiction soundtrack. And an incredibly effective, not to mention evocative one at that.

Clearly he agrees with our take on things, too. "I wanted to keep the music very electronic, very filmic and give it an almost sci-fi like quality," Gore explains. "Music is a necessity for me. I go into the studio at least five days a week, every week, so once I had the idea and the template, the process was quick and fun.

"As a songwriter, I am aware of the power of words," Martin admits.

"Especially when they are juxtaposed in the right way with chords and melody. I am also aware of the power of pure music and the emotions that can be created by musical atmospheres and that is what I wanted to capture with this project."

Alternative romances for Valentine's Day It's February, the shortest month of the year. That means Valentine's Day is looming and people are thinking about love, and Casablanca, arguably the most timeless tale of heartbreak and adoration ever committed to screen.

Now more than 70 years old, the film centres on Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), a bar owner in Morocco, and the action takes place amid the Nazi and Vichy occupation of North Africa. Of all the gin joints in all the world Rick's lost love Isla Lund (Ingrid Bergman) shows up at his, on the run from the authorities with Victor Laszlo, leader of the Czech resistance.

Embittered, cynical, and constantly drunk, Rick is initially unsure about assisting the pair of fugitives, in turn losing Isla forever and putting his own life in danger. Eventually he does, and sacrifices are made to help them flee, meaning the loveable anti-hero is left alone again with little more than his sarcasm and Sam the pianist to keep him company.

So Casablanca isn't an average romance, because the real love story is about a relationship that cannot exist. This got us thinking about a few other cinematic gems that strike a chord with the heartstrings, not because they offer sickly sweet tales, but as a result of their realistic portrayal of life's complications in matters of the heart. After some deliberation we managed to draw up this list, so here are five features all discerning film buffs should consider come February 14th.

Another Day In Paradise - Larry Clark, 1998 Four junkies hit the road, planning a series of robberies. It doesn't sound romantic, but once the film finishes you'll be on the phone faster than you can say 'better call my loved ones to tell them how much they mean to me'.

Tragedy barely comes close.

Buffalo 66 - Vincent Gallo, 1998 Billy just got out of jail, but his parents think he's been working abroad. They're also under the impression he has a wife, and so he kidnaps a girl called Layla and forces her to visit the folks for dinner, pretending to be his spouse. Off beat in extremis, it's also utterly charming.

Knocked Up - Judd Apatow, 2007 A one-night stand leaves TV presenter Alison pregnant with the child of stoner-bum Ben. Irrespective of their huge differences a haphazard relationship blossoms and, despite arguably being a little too long at 129 minutes, a witty and poignant tale of modern love unfolds.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Michel Gondry, 2004 Bizarre and absolutely incomparable, Gondry's debut feature is the most accomplished on this list. Two people try and erase the painful memories of their once beautiful relationship via a new treatment, and wind up realising how precious such treasured moments actually are.

Annie Hall - Woody Allen, 1977 Little can be said about this groundbreaking outing that hasn't been written before.

Arguably the original major work of late 20th Century realist romance, the male-female relationship is explored in great detail, with the highs and lows laid bare for all to see, and empathise with.

Priceless Rock'n'Roll comedies We'd like to say that, like rock 'n' roll itself, there are no rules to this list, but that would be lying. In order to whittle down the almost endless choices, every flick here focuses on fictitious bands and made up scenarios, whilst capturing the spirit of guitar wielding heroes and heroines everywhere. Enjoy.

American Graffiti ; dir. George Lucas; PG; 1973 Starring: Richard Dreyfuss, Ron Howard, Paul Le Mat One of the most famous youth vs establishment pictures ever, with blue jeans, Cadillacs and slicked-back hair everywhere, a pre- Star Wars Lucas shot to directorial fame with what was, in 1973, a controversial look at a bunch of high school grads out to celebrate their final night in town before heading off to college. Stone cold classic.

Rock 'n' Roll High School ; dir. Allan Arkush; PG; 1979 Starring: P.J.Soles, Vincent Van Patten, Clint Howard The brainchild of Roger Corman, Rock 'n' Roll High School should come with a disclaimer- yes it's bad, but that's exactly the point. Kitsch from beginning to end (and that's an understatement), upon release the movie secured instant cult status, in no small part thanks to the fact it involves The Ramones leading the charge against an oppressive administration in the American equivalent to your local comprehensive.

The Blues Brothers ; dir. John Landis; 15; 1980 Starring: John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Cab Calloway Realistically this needs no introduction, but to keep up appearances we will happily oblige. With the late, great John Belushi heading up the cast alongside one of the finest living funnymen in the U.S., Aykroyd, we follow the brothers Blues (that's their actual last name, apparently) as they get out of jail and decide to put on a gig to save the Catholic children's home they were originally raised in.

This Is Spinal Tap ; dir. Rob Reiner; 15; 1984 Starring: Rob Reiner, Michael McKean, Christopher Guest Reiner struck comedy gold with his parody of the big-haired, big-crotched, smallminded hard rock scene of the 1980s.

Amongst the highlights are the song, Big Bottom ; the album cover portraying a woman on all fours smelling a leather glove; and the bit where they lower what's supposed to be a life-size Stonehenge onto stage and realise they got the measurements awfully wrong. Oh yeah, and the amplifiers that go up to eleven...

Wayne's World ; dir. Penelope Spheeris; PG; 1992 Starring: Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Rob Lowe Two guys that need a haircut- one of whom would go on to be Austin Powers, the other thoroughly deserved to make it big but never quite didbroadcast a cable show on public access TV from the former's parents' basement. The crux of which is playing the guitar badly, perving over Claudia Schiffer, and generally taking the piss. Then they get offered a real show on a real station, whilst Wayne's girl gets closer to that elusive record deal.

About N332 - Road Safety Association N332 is formed by a group of road safety professionals, who in their free time write about the Spanish Traffic Law in English, with the only aim being to remove all your doubts. We think it is unfair being fined for breaking rules when you don´t even know them.

Unfortunately it is impossible to find a website with reliable information about the Spanish Traffic Law in the English language; the official web of the DGT (Spanish Traffic Department) is in Spanish so we would like to help all of you to have a better understanding of our current legislation, by publishing articles on Facebook and our website, which we translate directly from www.dgt.es.

We would like to remind you that we do this in our spare time, so please be patient if we can not answer your queries on the spot, but we will do it as soon as possible. We like helping people in the same way as we would like to be helped, if we were living in other countries.

Although this is not an official site, all articles we publish, have been copied and translated from Official Spanish Sites.

Please take note that N332 is NOT the OFFICIAL PAGE of the Police nor the Spanish Traffic Department. Their official pages ARE: www.guardiacivil.es : www.policia.es and www.dgt.es.

Introduction from a Traffic Police Officer: My name is Francisco Javier Morales Herrera, I am a traffic police motorcyclist and this is my story.

Since 2007, I have been based in the city of Torrevieja (Alicante), located south of the Valencian community, southeast of Spain. A place that, because of its climate and geographical situation, is chosen every year by thousands of people who decide to spend their holidays, or to relocate to Spain.

Over the years, patrolling the roads of the province of Alicante, I have often noticed that foreign drivers are not aware that they are violating traffic laws, leading to infractions or accidents, which could have been avoided with adequate knowledge of the current regulations in our country.

Infractions such as transporting a child under 135cm in the front seat, wearing a Bluetooth earphone in one ear, towing a car behind a caravan or not signalling a load protruding from the rear of a vehicle, are common infractions in Spain committed by foreigners, but in other countries of the European Union they are not sanctionable since they are totally legal practices.

Access to information must be a right to which all citizens have, regardless of their country of origin, so I decided to carry out a translation of the Road Safety Act into English so that no more violations occur or accidents due to lack of knowledge and thus improve road safety on our roads.

Translating the law into English, we can reach millions of people, who can consult our laws before coming to Spain, and be informed about any questions that may arise in terms of traffic issues.

In addition, being an ebook, we can read this law on our mobile device, and consult it at any time. Being in an electronic format, it will allow us to update it instantly with any change or modification that may occur.

As police officers, we are an example of a commitment to society, so we have an obligation and duty to respond to the demands that it poses. Therefore, with a community that currently exceeds 101 nationalities in the province of Alicante, I firmly believe that more than a right, it is almost an obligation to offer them, traffic legislation translated into English.

I hope this eBook helps to improve the safety of our roads, and helps those interested to better understand Spanish traffic law.

Introduction from the editor: My name is Mark Nolan and currently, I am a journalist, reporter and radio presenter living and working in Spain.

Before leaving the UK, I spent some time as a driving instructor, which naturally included months of intensive training in the processes and laws of driving in the UK, so as to understand, with great intimacy, the rules of the road. The training regime also includes strict theoretical and practical elements in which the learning is put to the test, to ensure that the information passed onto student drivers, many of whom are just starting out on their literal road to obtaining a licence, but others who have tried for many years.

As a journalist and broadcaster, getting information across to the maximum number of people possible, and in a clear and concise manner, is key to the role. This particular function also followed on from my knowledge and formal education into direct marketing.

I am not writing this to offer you my CV, but to point out how the elements of information dissemination, and driver training, have proved useful in my involvement in the N332 project, as I am able to get the accurate information checked and often provided by the traffic police officers out to the maximum number of people in one go, thus (we hope) avoiding the ‘man in the pub’ scenario and prevent the spread of myths.

I am of course a keen driver, and keen to make sure that the practice, often taken for granted, is done in as safer way possible, and, being able to identify the differences between the processes and laws of Spain and the UK, as well as other countries, some of which are subtle, others which a major differences, allows me to make sure that the message is correct and that we can all share the same objective, to make the roads safer for

Torrevieja Translators are happy to announce that we are now official affiliates of DGT (Tráfico) and can now process a lot more Driving Licence Exchanges quicker than before. As the demand has been huge, we are no longer accepting “Attending With” appointments but will complete these for the few clients that have requested this service and paid their deposit. We are in the process of contacting all clients who either have dates from us later in this month (11th Feb onwards) or the start of next month, to move everyone that wants it, forward to next week, or the following week. plus clients who have completed medicals but are awaiting a date for their licence exchange.

As many of our clients are spread over this part of Spain, we are going to offer four drop off and pick up points in different areas to help make it easier and more convenient. These are located in Quesada (Rojales), San Miguel, Torrevieja and Zenia Boulevard. We will contact all customers with details shortly on the dates and times (all will be in the early evening and weekly, so don’t worry if you can’t do it next week, there are plenty more dates to do it before 29th March) but you must first have your Driver's Medical completed before we can do the final stage of the exchange.

We are really pleased about this development as many British people wish to have their licence exchanged and DGT (Tráfico) have recognised that we can process these a lot faster with this new affiliated status.

Sebastian, Brandon and Clarke from the Torrevieja Translator team are here to help make this process as easy and fast as we can for all our clients.

MAZDA UNVEILS MX-5 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION IN RACING ORANGE Three decades since the launch of the MX-5, the 30th Anniversary Edition goes on sale in 2019.

Exclusively offered in unique Racing Orange just 3,000 cars will be sold globally.

Available to order now, the UK market will get 600 cars – 400 convertible and 200 RF. Three decades after the 1989 Chicago Motor Show was the stage for the debut of the original MX-5, Mazda has today unveiled the MX-5 30th Anniversary Edition at the 2019 Chicago Motor Show, which runs until 18 February.

After 30 years and more than 1 million units sold, Mazda feels that the MX-5 has grown into more than simply Mazda’s creation. It now belongs to the enthusiasts around the world who have supported the development of the model and helped it become the world’s best-selling two-seater roadster. Launched as both a tribute to these MX-5 fans and as a mark of the high hopes the firm has for the future of its sports car, the 30th Anniversary Edition is exclusively offered in the newly developed Racing Orange body paint, a strikingly vivid colour that marks out this special MX-5.

In addition to Racing Orange, the MX-5 30th Anniversary Edition features forged aluminium Rays wheels developed exclusively for the MX-5 in cooperation with Rays Co Ltd. and a 30th anniversary badge displaying the model’s serial number. Other unique features include orange brake callipers, and for the first time in the UK, Brembo front brakes.

Inside, the bespoke feel continues with orange accents on the seats, door trim, dashboard, steering wheel, air vents and gear lever, while Recaro seats and Alcantara trim on the door trim and instrument panel add a sense of exclusivity. The 30th Anniversary Edition also features Apple Carplay and Android Auto as standard.

Just 3,000 cars will be produced globally, and fittingly for one of the world’s biggest MX-5 markets, the UK will receive 600 – 400 convertible and 200 RF. Marked out by its black two-tone roof, the Retractable Fastback RF is £29,895, while the convertible is £28,095.

Commenting on the launch of 30th Anniversary MX-5, Mazda Motors UK Managing Director, Jeremy Thomson, said: “in the three decades since the launch of the original model over 130,000 Mazda MX-5s have been sold in the UK. This is a sports car that has resonated with enthusiastic British drivers ever since its debut and four generations on it’s as popular as ever. Along the way, it has remained true to the original principle of being an affordable, lightweight and above all fun-to-drive roadster. Today it is the very essence of the Jinba Ittai driver-and-car-as-one philosophy that goes into every Mazda.” adding, “and with its unique detailing, generous equipment levels, exclusivity and bold Racing Orange paint, the 30th Anniversary Edition is the perfect way to celebrate three decades of this iconic sports car”.

As with all 2.0-litre 2019 Mazda MX-5 models, the 30th Anniversary features the new 184ps version of the Skyactiv-G engine, while across both body types this rangetopping special edition comes with a six-speed manual gearbox, Bilstein dampers, strut-brace and limited slip differential.

Available to order now, the first UK customer deliveries will begin in the summer.

FEAR OF BEING CAUGHT MUST RISE, SAY IAM ROADSMART Fear of being caught must rise, say IAM RoadSmart as hundreds of thousands continue to flout mobile phone and seatbelt laws The UK’s biggest independent road safety charity IAM RoadSmart is concerned that too many drivers continue to ignore warnings about the dangers of hand-held mobile phones and not wearing a seatbelt – putting countless lives in danger.

This follows the results of a major Department for Transport survey revealing hundreds of thousands of motorists were still ignoring seatbelt and mobile phone usage laws in 2017.

The survey found that in 2017, 1.1% of all vehicle drivers were observed using a hand-held mobile phone while driving on weekdays in Great Britain, of which 0.4% were observed holding the phone to their ear, with twice as many (0.8%) spotted holding the phone in their hand.The worst offenders were taxi/private hire drivers (3.3%), followed by van drivers (2.1%), then car drivers (1%).

While there is good news that seatbelt wearing rates remain high with 96.5% of all vehicle drivers observed using a seatbelt on weekdays in 2017, that means 3.5% of all vehicle drivers are choosing not to wear a seatbelt which can be a matter of life and death if you are involved in a collision.

Seatbelt used varied with 93.1% of front seat passengers and 90.7% of rear seat passengers buckling up in Great Britain. For car drivers, 98.6% were observed using a seatbelt in Great Britain in 2017.

Neil Greig, IAM RoadSmart director of policy and research, said: “In spite of these being small percentages, this still amounts to hundreds of thousands of people who daily flout the law and put themselves and others at risk. “The best way of tackling this ever-present issue is to make people believe there is a high chance of being caught. This could start tomorrow if consistent guidelines on using mobile speed camera vans to enforce seatbelt and mobile phones laws were issued."

THE ULTIMATE ITALIAN JOB TOUR TO COMMEMORATE THE MOVIE’S 50TH ANNIVERSARY Classic car owners are being invited to commemorate the 50th anniversary of The Italian Job on an extraordinary 11-day driving tour which takes in many of the famous roads and locations featured in the movie.

The Ultimate Italian Job Tour, created by Classics on the Road and the Jaguar E-type Club, will treat drivers and their companions to some of Europe’s most fabulous roads and scenery as its route passes through France, Italy and Switzerland between October 6th and 17th 2019.

Highlights of the Tour will include a driving experience on the rooftop test track of Fiat’s former Lingotto factory in Turin, which appeared in the movie’s legendary car chase; driving some of the most spectacular mountain roads in Europe; and an evening with key personalities involved in making the film.

Participants in the Ultimate Italian Job Tour will be accompanied throughout the 1,400-mile drive by a swarm of red, white and blue Minis, and by the red Jaguar E-type roadster, orange Lamborghini Miura P400, and silver Aston Martin DB4 convertible seen in the movie. The Tour visits the St. Bernard Pass, scene of the film’s opening credits, where the Miura was blown-up in a tunnel and the E-type and DB4 also met their fates.

While in Turin, Tour participants will spend a few days in the company of The Italian Job producer Michael Deeley; stunt director Rémy Julienne; actor David Salamone, who played Dominic, one of Charlie Croker’s gang of ‘Chinless Wonders’; and subject-expert Matthew Field, whose new book, The Self Preservation Society – 50 years of The Italian Job, will be published later this year.

The three-day Italian Job experience will also include a private screening of the film; a ‘soirée’ hosted by Field; a Walking Tour in the city of car-chase locations with commentary by Field, visiting the Baroque staircase of the Palazzo Madama, the crowded porticoes on Via Roma, the cathedral steps and the weir on the River Po. Tour participants will also receive a copy of his book.

In keeping with its theme, the Ultimate Italian Job Tour is open exclusively to E-types, and to pre-1970 Lamborghinis, Aston Martins, and Minis. The price – €5,495 per person in double occupancy or €6,575 per person in single occupancy – includes accommodation in carefully selected four- and five-star hotels in France and Italy; three lunches and 10 dinners; a comprehensive Road Book with Tulip notes, maps, rally plates, information about places being visited, and recommendations of other places worth seeing; a private evening screening of The Italian Job; and guided visits to the Domaine Pommery champagne cellars, Arc-et-Senans Royal Saltworks, Museo Nazionale dell Automobile in Turin, Mont Blanc Skyway, and Matisse Museum in Le Cateau-Cambrésis.

Tour participants will be accompanied by the event organisers, including E-type Club co-founders Philip and Julie Porter in their E-type, the original Italian Job roadster, 848 CRY; a film crew and professional photographer; and a mechanic.

Philip Porter commented: “The Ultimate Italian Job Tour is going to be amazing. It will be unique and probably the last opportunity to celebrate this iconic movie with key people from the film, combined with fantastic driving, the star cars and informed visits to most of the charismatic locations”.

Can't afford The Italian Job or don't own one their cars, then the Wacky Rally might be the thing for you.

What is Wacky Rally?

The Concept behind Wacky Rally Essentially a banger rally is a collection of vehicles that have been purchased or otherwise obtained through various ingenious methods, and then personalised in a variety of glorious and imaginative ways.

Ideas range from the BatMobile, animals of various denominations, and pirate ships to hippy cars, tanks, and crazy paint jobs.

However, that is the nuts and bolts; doing up the car is incredibly fun but driving it across Europe is where the real fun begins. The shared challenge, the camaraderie and the memorable stories are what make the wacky rally, Europe's favourite car rally, a trip you'll remember for the rest of your life.

The Reality of the rally Don't be fooled, this is no holiday. The rally is extremely fun but it's also a great challenge. Obstacles are part and parcel of the rally and the bond you will have with your fellow driver/s can only be described as a two year relationship rolled into four days.

One thing you must understand about this rally is that it's not a race in any way, shape or form. This is not a poor man's gumball or a thinly disguised dart along the autobahns in a cheap motor. This, ladies and gentleman, is a fun, all inclusive jolly for people who enjoy a challenge and maybe a drink or two along the way. And even if you don't drink there are always like minded people along for the ride.

The People on the rally The Wacky Rally car rally is for anyone and everyone: the list is endless. The important thing to know is it doesn't matter what you do as long as you are here to respect yourself and others on the rally.

Barmy to Barcelona 2019 Dates: July 5th - 8th: No of Days: 4 This fantastic banger rally takes in the amazing Swiss Alps, rolling hills of Italy, French Riviera and the Spanish Catalan capital. Is there anything else you could ask for in a banger rally?

Day 1: Lille to Thun We start at Lille at 7:30am and head to Thun. We do five countries in one drive today (it's a long route but we didn't put Switzerland where it is). Thun is a stunning Swiss town set in the middle of the Alps and today's meeting point is a bar next to a picturesque weir.

Day 2:Day of Days The second day of the rally is where the fun driving really begins, after leaving Thun we head off over the Alps which is a stunning drive passing over the Gran St Bernard pass where the Italian job was filmed (bus over the cliff scene). Day 2 is an amazing challenge day with 5 mountain passes for the hardened driver.

Day 3: Monte Carlo or Bust Travelling from the heart of the mountains and stunning countryside we head off to the French Riviera over one more picturesque mountain pass.

We pass by Monte Carlo and for those who don't mind arriving a bit later you can always drop down to have a look.

Day 4: Barcelona or Busted The destination after Arles is Barcelona. This is a short drive so we make a detour to the Costa Brava to enjoy beers and ice cream at Lloret De Mar before heading off. The final party and award ceremony will be held at a lively sports bar on Las Ramblas.

Beginner's guide to wine At first glance the subject of wine can seem overwhelming and frankly rather intimidating, what with sniffing the bouquet and judging the finish a novice wine taster could easily be put off. However there really is no need, as all you need to remember is that wine is supposed to be enjoyable, so simply buy the wine you most like the taste of regardless of current fashions or trends.

To help you get started there are just three simple steps to remember when choosing a wine: look, smell and taste. But if you have time and the inclination, understanding the basics of wine types, selections, storage and tasting will add new dimensions to your wine experience.

A good way to get to know more about wine is to start by taking a grape variety you know, then work your way through different examples from around the world. Lovers of Aussie Chardonnay, for instance, might enjoy barrel-matured white Burgundy. Or if you've already discovered fruit-filled Chilean Cabernet, then you really need to try the aristocratic reds of Bordeaux.

Find out for yourself why the wines of New Zealand have become so popular, or experience the everlasting appeal of Burgundy. Just a few rungs up the price ladder, flavours become more intense, making it far easier to stick to a single glass. When exploring, don't be afraid to ask questions of waiters or shop staff - if properly trained they will be full of useful advice. Generally speaking a good wine can be purchased for well under £10 these days, but try to avoid the really cheap offers, as these are rarely the best value for money. Excise duty, VAT, transport and packaging are virtually the same whether it's a basic vin de table or from a prestigious estate. By paying a little extra - say £5 to £7 - you get a big increase in wine quality.

If you find the thought of buying wine in a specialist wine shop too daunting, then why not buy from the comfort of your armchair? More people are ordering their wine online thanks to the convenience and range of wines on offer. Online wine merchants invariably provide more information about their wines than you will find on the label when perusing the supermarket shelves.

When pairing wine with a specific food or meal there are just a few things to remember. Like a good marriage, wine and food were meant for each other, as each enhances and strengthens the experience of the whole.

So why does it feel so daunting to try to pair foods with wines? If you are under the misapprehension that there is a hefty list of rules and guidelines that state which wine can be paired with which food then you are in for a surprise.

The truth is there are no rules when matching your favourite wines with your favourite recipes. Yes there are popular matches and well-used pairings of wine and food but ultimately the best match is what pleases your palate. It is truly a personal preference, but if you don't feel confident enough to trust your own taste you can always ask for some more experienced advice.

With expert wine merchants available at your fingertips it has become a whole lot easier to learn more about wines and enjoy them at very competitive prices. The only golden rule would be to avoid cheap supermarket wine and you'll discover a little good wine really does go a long way.

Bring back the cocktail party Whatever happened to the tradition of the Cocktail Party?

When all the ladies dragged out their best LBD (little black dress) and the men donned smart trousers and jackets, for the purposes of making small talk around a collection of light snacks and a glass or two of something alcoholic?

Having been pushed back into the realms of the "passe" it seems the occasion is undergoing something of a revival, particularly in these cashstrapped times, to encourage business into hotels and restaurants between the hours of 4pm and 6pm.

It is now also fashionable for wedding receptions to be preceded by a cocktail hour which often also includes entertainment such as live music.

The type of food and drink served can vary, while the guest list is likely to be intimate, with all encouraged to mingle while cocktails are served by a professional or dedicated bartender.

Although many believe the inventor of the cocktail party was Alec Waugh of London, an article in the St. Paul Pioneer Press in May 1917, credited its invention to a certain Mrs. Julius S. Walsh Jr. of St. Louis, Missouri.

Mrs. Walsh invited 50 guests to her house on a Sunday at high noon for a one-hour affair. "The party scored an instant hit" the newspaper declared, and stated that, within weeks, cocktail parties had become "a St. Louis institution".

Such an event is now welcomed by those venues seeking to encourage new ways of bringing in patrons - and private hosts who want to entertain a larger number of people than for a formal dinner without opening their doors to a full-on party.

When planning for a cocktail party, many experts on entertaining suggest hosts should assume at least three beverages per guest, unlike a dinner or reception where heavier foods are expected to be served and fewer mixed drinks are served.

The party may include a variety of finger foods, light snacks or canapĂŠs and the invitation should mention any special food arrangements, especially if the party is scheduled during regular dinner hours.

Cocktail parties are a great way to entertain, because they accommodate any kind of guest list, ranging from neighbours to business associates.

Regardless of what kind of crowd you're entertaining, however, there are a few basic guidelines to throwing a fabulous cocktail party...

Set the appropriate time: The traditional time-frame for a cocktail party is two to three hours in length held between 6pm and 10pm Buy more than enough ice: Remember that you're not just using it for drinks, but also for chilling bottles and cans.

Have a variety of glasses on hand, depending on the variety of drinks you plan to offer You should offer wine glasses for wines, juice and water; straight-sided highballs for tall drinks; tumblers for spirits and juices; and martini glasses.

In terms of quantity, be ready with approximately twice as many glasses as you'll have guests.

Stock your bar For the wine drinkers, have one bottle for every two people, assuming five servings per bottle. For the beer drinkers, have one six-pack for every two people, assuming 12 oz. servings. Get one or two spirits that can be made into a variety of cocktails (probably vodka, rum, gin, scotch, bourbon, blended whiskey, or tequila).

Don't forget mixers and garnishes, including orange juice, soda, tonic, ginger ale, cola, grenadine, tomato juice, Tabasco, lemons, limes, horseradish, and Worcestershire sauce.

Prepare the menu Aim for variety (meat, vegetarian, hot, cold, spicy, and sweet). If you're not serving dinner, estimate 6 bites per person, but remember that it's better to have too much food than not enough and that luxury items such as prawns and smoked salmon will be light and well-received by most guests.

(See recipe for Smoked Salmon Crostini below).

Coffee Offer coffee to your guests towards the end of the party as a courtesy, but remember that coffee does not help increase sobriety.

Taxi Keep the number of a local taxi service handy for those guests lacking a designated driver.

COCKTAIL PARTY CATERING SUGGESTIONS Smoked Salmon Crostini This recipe makes around 30 crostini.

Serves 10-15 Ingredients 1 thin, long baguette : 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil : 2 tbsp melted butter : 140ml Greek yogurt : 6 tbsp cream cheese : 2 tbsp fresh chopped dill 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice : Salt to taste : 100g smoked salmon : Capers for garnish METHOD Preheat oven to 400 degrees F or 200 degrees C Slice the baguette along a diagonal into even 5mm slices using a bread knife. Place the slices on a baking sheet.

Stir together the melted butter and olive oil. Brush the tops of the bread pieces with the oil and butter mixture.

Place the bread into the oven and let it toast for 8-10 minutes until the bottoms of the bread slices are golden brown and toasted.

While baguette slices are toasting, place Greek yogurt, cream cheese, dill, and lemon juice into a food processor.

Process for about 30 seconds until the ingredients are well combined. Add salt to taste and process again to combine.

Cut the smoked salmon into pieces large enough to top the baguette slices.

When the baguette slices have cooled, top each slice with 1 tsp of the Greek yogurt mixture. Top the Greek yogurt mixture with a slice of smoked salmon.

Place another small dollop of Greek yogurt mixture in the centre of the smoked salmon slice. Top the small dollop with a couple of capers and serve immediately.

Apple Cider Martini This is a refreshing twist on the traditional Martini and goes well with canapĂŠs, and anything spicy.

60ml of apple cider : 60ml of vodka 30ml of triple sec 30ml of brandy 1/4 tsp of grounded cinnamon : 1/2 tbsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/4 tsp of brown sugar 1/4 tsp of caster sugar : Ice

Combine all the ingredients except the ice together in a cocktail shaker and stir with a spoon.

Fill your shaker to about two-thirds with ice.

Attach the martini shaker lid and shake for a while, ideally until condensation starts forming on the outside.

Strain your apple cider martini into a martini glass and garnish with strips of apple peel.

How to Face Each Day...

Even When You Don't Want To...

Robert Landau You know the feeling. You wake up in the morning after a restless night and you don't even feel like getting out of bed. The feeling isn't as much a physical thing as it is a mental thing. Realizing that you can't stay in bed all day, you force yourself to get up and face the day ahead. Do you feel great about it? No! Would you like to crawl back into bed and stay there? Oh yes!

There's nothing wrong with having a negative outlook concerning the day ahead even before it begins. We're human beings and there are millions of times when we feel less than positive. While it's OK to feel down sometimes, just make sure you don't attach yourself to those feelings so that you end up becoming the negativity that you're thinking about. It's possible to feel the bad feelings and then move on. How do you do that? It's actually easier than you think. The next time you find yourself dealing with negatives emotions, realize that you have the choice to rise above them. The process of rising above is getting yourself back into being who and what you really are. You don't need to feel like a helpless victim to your negative thoughts and feelings unless you make the choice to do so. The same energy it takes to stay in negative thought is the very same energy you can use to rise above it. The choice is always yours.

Many people don't like to hear that they have a choice to remain negative. Our ego's mindchatter loves to swim in pools of negative thought. It's as if our mind-chatter wouldn't know what to do with itself if you chose to move into more positive ways of thinking and being.

So how would you actually use the ideas that I'm suggesting here? Let's take the "First Thing in the Morning Scenario" I just presented. You've just woken up and even before your eyes open you happen to find yourself thinking negative thoughts that might go something like this; "Uhh! It's cloudy again today. I just can't handle more rain. Enough already! Oh...I have that meeting today at 10am. I just know that what I'm going to present won't go over well. I have major issues with most of the people that will be attending that meeting. Even after my day should be over today, it won't be over. There's that darn dinner get together that I have to go to. What a lousy day!"

How did you feel when you read those words? Probably not very joyous! All too often we program ourselves and the rest of our day by talking to ourselves in the way you just experienced. Is it any wonder that the rest of your day would end up turning out just the way you thought it would lying in bed?

26

The same energy it took to negatively program your day is the very same energy it takes to program your day in a more positive manner...even if you're not crazy about the day's events. Here's how a more positive "First Thing in the Morning Scenario" would look like; "It's raining today. No problem, I'll just take an umbrella. The meeting at 10am will be just fine. They might not like what I have to present but they also understand that it's in the best interest of all involved. I'll explain to them that this is temporary as we're well on our way to truly great things. The dinner event will work out well. It's only the third time I'm meeting with those people and there's a real possibility to forge ahead with some great ideas that could become very successful in the near future. Time to get out of bed and put my best foot forward!"

Either one of these "First Thing in the Moring Scenarios" are choices that you can put to use each and every day. The operative word here is "choice". You have more power than you often think you have. As human beings we truly have the power to make choices that shape our day and our lives in the best ways possible. The key to all of this is remembering that true change starts from within. Only after you feel it within will it manifest without. So tomorrow morning, see what it feels like to lie in bed and positively program the day ahead.

You just might be overjoyed with the results. The choice is always yours.

Investing in Henri Matisse Many people believe that owning “an original Picasso” is going to be expensive beyond their wildest dreams but, in fact, this is not the case. You can buy hand signed Picasso Original prints for less then most people think they will cost. The fact was that Picasso was a “workaholic” and he was an extremely prolific artist. In his lifetime he made more then 2,000 different Original prints. He was a supreme experimentalist and used many different techniques. Once mastering a specific technique he would often push it to the bounds of what others said could not be done.

Long term an investment in Picasso Original prints is likely to be a very good one. The two artists who annually fight for primacy in the art market are Warhol and Picasso. More then 4 decades after the death of the artist there is no diminishing in the appetite for his work - and this is likely to continue. When asked I always say you should buy what you like and the best you can afford. These Mantra’s are likely to be good for your wealth - and your appreciation of a nascent collection. Authenticity is always a problem and my advice to collectors is to find a good respectable dealer who can advise you of what is available and who will give a guarantee that the piece is good. You can always, of course, buy from auction but this source is not always what it is cracked out to be: auctions take a huge “bite” out of the price paid with sellers and buyers commissions. Often 35/40% of the price achieved is gobbled up by the auction house! Most of what we buy comes, in fact, from other Art Dealers.

Picasso’s graphic art spanned 7 Title: Femme couchee et homme a la guitar Medium: Original Linocut, in colours, 1959, signed by the artist in pencil Reference:George Bloch “Catalogue de l’oeuvre grave et lithographie” Vol 1 - Number 916 decades and varies enormously in style and subject matter. His signature too varies hugely over the passage of time and it is important to study the different signatures of different periods to be sure of authenticity. Towards the end of his life the signature became pretty much standard and invariable. He signed with a very firm hand and most fluently. The study

32

of the signature is an important part of collecting this series.

Often Picasso’s graphic works were arranged in “suites” and groupings which makes them easier to collect. The first “suite’ was made during the “Blue Period” and is named after the Acrobats he so much admired from the circus “Les Saltimbanques”. Perhaps the most famous suite is that published by the infamous dealer, Ambroise Vollard, in the 1930’s. The Vollard Suite consisted of 100 different etchings, all made on special Montval paper, some of which were signed at time of publication and many of which were signed years or decades later. The so called “347 Series” consisted (surprise, surprise) of a group of 347 etchings made in a 9 month period. Like a lot of works by Picasso it has various plates of an erotic or pornographic nature - certainly not for the faint hearted.

One slight problem with Picasso prints is that the artist was enthusiastic about working in black and white whereas today most people want some colour. If you do want his coloured prints, however, they do tend to be expensive: most sought after are the Linocuts often made in several colours some of which are very lovely examples of his works and can command prices of many thousands. There is a big market for so called “after Picasso” prints. These were often made by others “after” original paintings and many are signed by the artist. Care must be taken in buying these because there are many fakes and the benefit of a catalogue raisonee is not to be had.

There has been a lot written about Picasso prints both in the lifetime of the artist and also after his death.

Pretty much all his Original prints are to be found in the three volumes written by George Bloch and you should be sure to ask for a “Bloch number” when buying a piece.

Other works describe the same pieces as Bloch but in greater detail and the decerning collector needs to invest in the literature to have a proper understanding of the series.

There are numerous examples of “unsigned” or “plate signed” works

by Picasso. Often these are cut out of books and are perfectly genuine despite not having the benefit of a pencil signature. Many

are of dubious or completely false origin (Take a look on Ebay and you will find shedloads of these). The attraction, of course, for the novice collector is to own an original print at an affordable price. The downside is that many of these are just plain fakes. Most unsigned works can be classified as ‘decorative” rather then investment pieces.

Generally we have a stock of 20 or 30 signed Picasso prints covering most periods of his oeuvre from 1905 to the 1970’s.

Personally I find the whole series fascinating - and there is always something new to learn about them!

Galician Roots Two Young Entrepreneurs Create Galician Roots, a Travel Agency Specialising in the Galician Territory and the Camino De Santiago The best way to discover Galicia is to do it with Galician people. Within this philosophy is born Galician Roots. A travel agency exclusively focused on the main sights of this land that proposes a different way of approaching its charms.

Behind this initiative are two young entrepreneurs in their early thirties that have seen the huge potential of this remote green corner still unknown for many travellers. Their aim is to share with the visitor the habits, landscapes, gastronomy and culture of the place where they live in, a land they know like the back of their hand and which they’re proud to belong. Showing Galicia from a Galician point of view, this sounds obvious but leaves a distinguishing and unique mark to Galician Roots, since the vast majority of agencies operating nowadays in this land are located abroad.

The Camino de Santiago is the cornerstone of this small company but it also offers a whole range of possibilities on ecological, wine and gastronomic tourism to the visitors. With a fully updated view in accordance to the current times Galician Roots brings a tailor-made tourism with customized tours and trips that can be created by the customer itself.

A thousand ways for your feet.

It is said that there’s not only a Camino but thousands, as much as pilgrims. The options are plenty and Galician Roots aware of that has developed various tours allowing the traveller to complete the last 100 kilometres of the French Way; from the most basic tour including hostel accommodation to the most exclusive one including accommodation in manors, country houses and charming hotels.

36

The key principle is to offer a full spectrum of options allowing the traveller to simply enjoy its vacation. That’s why to a greater or lesser extent all the tours can include the transfer to the starting point, luggage transfer, physiotherapist sessions and even dinners with traditional music. And if any of the options

mentioned above convinces there’ll always be a trip made to measure for the traveller as Galician Roots also offers the possibility of personalising each stage of the French, Primitive and Portuguese path.

Discover the essence of Galicia.

A great way to know Galicia is being immersed in its culture, something that is not always accessible with conventional tours. As good connoisseurs of their land Galician Roots people know that Galicia has to be enjoyed through the palate too as one of its essences is the food. That’s why gastronomy has such a relevant importance in their offer, with workshops teaching the elaboration of some of the most representative dishes such as the pulpo a feira, Galician bread, Galician seafood, the empanada and much more.

Galician food has such an important role but also the wine. Another strong bet of this travel agency is the wine tourism, a field you’re invited to explore through the most traditional aspect of the production of the wine from a Ribeira Sacra. Visits to hundred-year-old cellars, trips and explanations about the production process making one of the best wines of Spain.

The eco-friendly trips and weekends of Galician Roots are another good way to discover the spirit of this land, so well preserved in some small towns, which will allow the travellers to know the way of life in rural areas and take part in organic farms in the heart of Galicia.

A different way to enjoy a different place: Galician Roots.

How many of us have dreamed of travelling the world?

But…we have children, jobs, homes……

Mid-life mum Rachael casts caution to the wind, drops everything, and sets off on a life-changing, fun-and-thrill packed adventure – taking her teenage children with her! Join them from Guernsey to India, Thailand, Vietnam and China as they make their way Down Under.

More to Life by Maureen Moss: a light-hearted look at family life in testing situations, a voyage of self-discovery, or just a romp around the world?

“This book was recommended to me by a friend who said, 'You absolutely must read it.' She was right. Heartwarming, thought provoking, funny and sad, this book takes you on a journey with Rachael and her family.

You feel as though you're with them, sharing their experiences. The author invokes the sights, sounds and smells, shows you the real people, their poverty and resilience. A must for anyone who has visited or would like to visit any of these countries.”

With over 20 reviews rated five stars, this book is a must-read!

Will men ever embrace the spa experience?

Spas have become as much part of a woman's life as Chablis and Chanel, even in these cash strapped times a facial or massage is a treat for us equivalent to our mothers going for a shampoo and set. Yet men - despite the Becks effect which encouraged them to embrace moisturiser and, yes, even comb their hair once in a while seem as doggedly against the spa as ever before.

There are hundreds of reasons why your average lad avoids these places like the plague (unless dragged along by a girlfriend intent on be-robed romance): from the girls on the reception desk, who most men are convinced are giggling at them, to the downright fear that their naked flesh being touched by a woman or, heaven forbid, a man may cause 'erm' unwanted side-effects.

Many men, perhaps more used to the footballers favourite sports massage, compare your average pummelling to being tickled by a feather. Less enjoyment than buttock clenching embarrassment as the therapist works her way over your sensitive spots. And that's not even to mention the paper pants, too short robes and feminine choice of slippers which most spas hand out and most women now seem to embrace with the enthusiasm usually reserved for a new pair of Jimmy Choos.

Then there are the less obvious annoyances. The wishy washy new age music, the smell of lavender and rose and other girly aromas, the whispering and the spa restaurants which appear to offer very little in the way of burgers and chips. It's enough to make even the most in-touchwith-his-feminine-side male go running for the nearest spit and sawdust pub showing football and serving Stella.

Yet in other countries, and indeed in other times, the male species embraced and still embrace a good rub down. Though this may be less a cultural phenomenon than the fact that there's nothing in the least sissy about being thrown about the room by a sweaty, twenty-five stone Turk until your bones seem to have all the hardiness of a Stretch Armstrong doll.

Turkish Baths do exist in the UK but, more often than not, are accompanied by a slightly seedy atmosphere and the distinct feeling that you may not leave alive.

However these are not the only option for a more manly spa experience.

While most spas reserve a token two treatment space on their price list for the chaps, Elemis offer a wide range of relaxing and useful treatments for men while their day spas are simple in and out affairs, devoid of robes and all that sitting about with a cup of green tea.

Even better is London's Gentlemen's Tonic, which has an old school vibe and, in addition to Reiki, Reflexology and massages, offers barbers shop favourites including the closest wet shave you're likely to find outside of Sweeney Todd's.

Who said pampering was for girls?

Boost Health With These Breakfast Tips Looking to make some changes to your nutrition? Start by examining what is often referred to as the most important meal of the day; breakfast.

Here are some fast facts about breakfast from Kelly Springer, MS, RD, CDN, and president of Kelly’s Choice, a collective of registered dieticians, nutritionists and educators that offers customised nutrition coaching programs for schools, workplaces, medical facilities, athletes and individuals.

• Don’t Skip It: Breakfast is not only essential to weight maintenance, it can help ensure you avoid nutritional deficiencies, so don’t avoid it.

“Think about bonfires. If you don’t add wood to the flames, the fire will go out. Metabolism works the same way. If you don’t add food as fuel to your body, your metabolism will slow down,” says Springer. “To maintain a healthy diet, you need to eat regularly scheduled meals. Breakfast is particularly important because your metabolism slows during a night of sleep.”

Skipping breakfast has also been proven to be linked to nutrient deficiencies, points out Springer.

“Breakfast provides essential nutrients that can’t be made up for later in the day,” says. “A good breakfast will provide protein, b vitamins, fibre, calcium and iron.”

• Include Protein: Protein helps to maintain blood sugar levels, keeps you fuller longer and provides the building blocks for skin, hair, nails and muscle. But because protein can’t be stored as protein in the body, it needs to be consumed throughout the day.

“Be sure your first meal includes protein. You don’t have to search hard to do so. Some of your favourite breakfast items are already a great source,” says Springer.

Did you know that a bagel at Einstein Bros. Bagels has between 9 and 17 grams of protein? This is more than or as much protein as one large egg, three slices of turkey, one cup of 2 percent milk or two tablespoons of creamy peanut butter.

• Include Carbohydrates: Many new diets encourage you to skip carbohydrates, but carbs are the number one source of energy for the body and brain food to boot. Carbohydrates convert to glucose in the body -- and our brain, one of the most demanding organs in the body, cannot function without glucose.

• Streamline: Habits are most successfully formed when they are easy to adopt. To that end, consider streamlining your breakfast by seeking out one location for your morning cup of joe as well as your protein-rich, meal, such as Einstein Bros. Bagels, which offers a full breakfast menu.

A nutritious day all starts with a balanced breakfast. To keep your body and metabolism fuelled, give your breakfasts a makeover. (StatePoint)

How to Make Your Empty Nest an Empowering New Chapter Suddenly, the kids are all grown up and ready to flee the nest. It’s the start of a new chapter -- for them, and for mom and dad, too. While this sudden change in family dynamic is bound to bring a mix of bittersweet emotions, there are plenty of ways to embrace the shift. An empty nest certainly doesn’t mean an empty life.

Raising a family reaps many rewards and any parent knows that family time revolves around the children’s wants and needs well into their teenage years. While in the thick of it, the prospect of a quiet, relaxing weekend with no parental responsibilities and the very concept of self-care can seem farfetched. But now with the kids leaving home, it’s time to make the most of your new foot-loose and fancy-free lifestyle.

Make More “Me Time” Now that you have more time to do things that bring you joy, it’s time rediscover who you are -- whether that’s through traveling the world, learning a new skill or language, taking a yoga class, volunteering or simply doing more of what makes you feel good.

The newfound time in your day is an opportunity to discover new hobbies and build a social life that is entirely your own.

Stay Connected Just because the kids have left home doesn’t mean you can’t stay connected. In fact, you may find yourself on the other end of the phone giving dating advice or having more meaningful life chats than ever before.

Family group text threads can replace dinner table conversations, so do make sure you stay up-to-date with technology to keep the entire family connected.

Choose a phone plan that lets you talk, video chat or text with your kids as much as you want, when you want, such as T-Mobile ONE Unlimited 55+, which gives you two lines for just $35 per line with no surprise fees or taxes. A super affordable option designed just for customers 55 and older, it includes unlimited talk, text and data, in-flight texting, one hour of Gogo Wi-Fi on domestic flights, and texting and data when you travel abroad in 210 destinations.

And what’s more, all the money you save on your phone plan can go straight into the self-care fund or to finance your next “adults only” fancy vacation. Win-win.

Find a Furry Friend If you’re an animal lover, adopt a new pet, train a friend’s dog, pet-sit, or become a foster petparent.

This time, you won’t be getting a pet just for the kids. Animals have a magical ability to lift the spirit and fill the void left from caring for your little ones for so many years.

Becoming an empty nester is surprisingly empowering, and can be a period of positive growth for you. Install new routines and experiences in your life, stay connected to your kids, and the rest will surely follow.

Interview with Lulu, Let It Shine Let It Shine is a British reality television music competition to find young men to star in The Band, a new stage musical featuring the songs of Take That. It aired in January and February 2017 on BBC One. The show was presented by Graham Norton and Mel Giedroyc, with Gary Barlow, Dannii Minogue and Martin Kemp serving as judges throughout the series. Amber Riley was the guest judge for the auditions, followed by Lulu for the group round. Ricki Lake was the guest judge for the first live show, Ashley Roberts for the semi-final and Peter Kay for the final.

The show was won by the band Five to Five who won the part as the band in the new musical The Band, which began touring in September 2017.

Gary Barlow and the BBC have plans for a second series but this did not happen in 2018 as Gary thought it was too soon to launch a second season.

A BBC spokesperson has also confirmed that Let It Shine would not be returning next year, but that “the door is definitely open” to the possibility of another series in the future.

Gary Barlow added: “We had a fantastic time making Let It Shine and the response has been absolutely amazing. The musical itself has broken records for the fastest selling theatre tour in UK history, which is incredible! I want to make sure we give any future series the focus and excitement Let It Shine Series 1 had, and I look forward to making plans for the future with the BBC team.”

The script follows the journey of five teenage girls, the women they become and the boyband they follow for 25 years.

We caught up with British superstar Lulu to find out more about her experience on the show.

MTM: You're were a guest judging during the collaboration stage of the competition, what did you think about the show when you were asked to join?

Lulu: To be honest I had no idea what it was going to be like. Obviously it's a talent show but it's like nothing we've seen before. When people see what Gary and everyone have created, they are going to be surprised. There are a lot of elements to the show, there's a lot going on, it's a huge machine, it'll surprise people in a very good way.

MTM: You've known Gary a long time, what do you think about him and what he's trying to achieve with this show?

Lulu: I've always been a big fan of Gary, he's a real talent. I think this whole show has a touch of something different. It sounded, at the start, something that was going to be quite generic. I thought they would be looking for Take That look-a-likes, sound-a-likes, all of that. But then I came on set and wow, there's a lot of detail on this show that is pretty amazing.

MTM: Gary was quite mysterious about the stage show that came after this. Did he tell you anything?

Lulu: I knew everything! Gary told me, he sat me down and explained it. I had the same thoughts that I'm sure everyone out there will be thinking. But I'm telling you now, whatever you're thinking, it's not what you think it'll be.

It's nothing like I thought it would be.

MTM: You weren't involved in the audition process for Let It Shine, so what did you think of the standard of the contestants?

Lulu: I was actually very surprised, I wasn't expecting them to be as good as they are. It's not impossible, but it's hard to eliminate some of the boys because they all have something about them. You want the full package from everybody. I'm sorry but that's what you have to have these days, you can't just be a singer or just a dancer or just cute. You have to have the full package because there is so much competition out there.

MTM: Were you worried that there would be joke acts like there are on other shows?

Lulu: There are absolutely no jokes on this show. No way. That's been done. What I like about this show is that they aren't doing things that have been done before. The only thing that's similar is that they are giving kids a platform, but with this show it's all boys, which is different. I'm both impressed and surprised, it's not what I expected. It's exciting.

MTM: This show is offering the winners a job and not just fame, are you pleased about that?

Lulu: I think it's not just good, it's something that's needed right now. I think that's a big element and a change to this type of show that's extremely positive. It's about time these kids were working towards a job. There's a very good atmosphere on set. There's a real feeling of camaraderie because they feel like they are on to something special.

MTM: Do you think you would have had the career you've had if you were starting our now?

Lulu: It's impossible to say. I never wanted to be famous; I didn't do what I did to be famous. I think that separates the chaff from the wheat. It's a tough business to be in, especially when you get knocks, so the easiest thing would be to probably say, "Ah, stuff it". But the ones who aren't in it for the fame won't do that, they keep going, regardless of the knockbacks. There's a hunger there.

MTM: So where does your fire and determination come from?

Lulu: I don't know, maybe I was born with it.

I think it comes a lot from my background; I come from a working class background. I told my niece the other day that when I was growing up we didn't have a bathroom, we didn't have central heating. She was like, "What?!" She couldn't believe that we would have a bath in front of the fire and would only do that once a week. She couldn't believe it and said, "You were really poor", and I said, "How dare you!"

I never thought of myself as poor but I come from a very strong work ethic. I've come from a place where you don't get things handed to you, you have to work for it. Not to sound down about it, but with my family, there was a lot of stuff going on that was trying, and I'm being polite.

I had a lot of pain and difficulty, but that's made me, it's the fibre of who I am. I'm a fighter and that's got something to do with it.

I'm like, "Don't tell me I can't do something!"

It's a fighting attitude. Now, as I've got older, I don't give in easily, sometimes to a fault.

MTM: So there's no chance of you retiring then?

Lulu: Are you kidding me? I'm not going to stop while I can still do it. I'm going to keep going until I can't do it anymore. It's like a love affair. I love what I do! I still tour, I did two sell out tours this last year, one here and one in Australia. I'm writing with my brother, I'm working with some young people, I live for this. It's what I love. You have to, it's too difficult otherwise.

MTM: What's your advice to the boys on the show for dealing with the fame that comes with this business?

Lulu: Don't take yourself too seriously. That will come from Gary. That's one of the things Take That are known for, they aren't full of themselves.

They have a lot of humility and gratitude; they've had their ups and downs. You've also got to shine and be the best that you can be so that allows everyone around you to be great.

MTM: How have you maintained your voice and looked after yourself over such a long career?

Lulu: You have to be so careful with your health, especially in terms of what you eat and drink. If I'm on tour I don't talk until after 12, so from 12 to 12 I don't speak, not if you want to be able to sing every night. You have to care of yourself, it's a job, and if you want to do your job you have to be fit for it.

MTM: Gary has talked about team spirit and how it's been lost slightly with kids today, do you agree?

Lulu: It's interesting. I'm all about working as a team; when I'm performing I always want my band up front with me. I've always wanted to be a part of a group so I bring them forward and include them. Collaborating is a great skill, you learn from one another. So Gary's point about team spirit is a very good one. How are you going to rise if you're on your own? You're only as weak as your weakest link, if you think it's all about you, forget it. In today's society you need a village to support you when you're an artist. It's not a one man job, you need musicians, lighting, sound men, the works
