SALES TEAM n exhibition of The Wellcome Image Awards is currently at Thackray Medical Museum, providing a fascinating view into the work of scientists, artists, clinical photographers and illustrators.

This year’s winners showcase the best in science image making, including pathways of nerve fibres in the brain, delicate golden scales on a Madagascan sunset moth, and a digitally reconstructed skeleton showing atheroma – the ‘furring up’ of arteries that supply blood to the brain, in someone who has had a stroke.

“The Wellcome Image Awards consistently uncover a stunning range of images that not only capture the imagination but help bring complex concepts to life”, said Fergus Walsh, BBC Medical Correspondent and member of the judging panel. “From otherworldly pictures to intricate close ups, these

spectacular images draw you in and tell important stories about medical research today.”

“I am especially pleased to be able to host the exhibition at Thackray Medical Museum as we are the only partner venue in our region”, said Lauren RyallStockton, Curator at Thackray Medical Museum. “It is a wonderful opportunity to showcase some fantastic images which bridge the gap between science and art.”

The 2016 Awards also saw the launch of the Julie Dorrington Award for outstanding photography in a clinical environment. Julie Dorrington’s work was instrumental in making Wellcome Images one of the most comprehensive collections of clinical images in the world.

The exhibition will be on display until the end of the year.

LILIAN ADELAIDE NEILSON (1848-1880) ‘ONE OF THE GREATEST ACTRESSES OF HER TIME’

Adelaide Neilson was a star – ‘one of the brightest stars that ever shone in England’s theatrical firmament’. She was adored and idolised in England and the USA. Her beauty and expressive power, particularly in tragic roles like Juliet in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, brought her fame and fortune. But her life was tinged with tragedy, and cut short when she was only 32. Her story began in Leeds, but over the years there were many different versions in circulation– her life as mysterious and dramatic as the parts she played. he was born Elizabeth Ann Brown on 3 March 1848 at 35 St Peter’s Square, Leeds, the site now of the West Yorkshire Playhouse – a nice theatrical coincidence (marked by a blue plaque). Her mother was an unmarried actress from Leeds, Ann Brown, but her father remains a mystery. In one of the many stories told about her, she found hidden letters revealing he was a Spanish nobleman; in another she was born in Spain and educated in Paris; in another she came from gypsy stock. Her dark, romantic beauty made all this credible. Later she was to claim her father was a Pierre Lizon, a ‘gentleman’, and she was to use that name alongside several others before she settled on her stage name of Adelaide Neilson.

When she was two, her mother married a workman called Samuel Bland, and they moved to Guiseley where Lizzie Bland, as she was then known, went to school: a clever girl, a great reader, delighting in dramatic recitations. Her stepfather however was a drinker and the family struggled. The story goes that at 13 Lizzie was sent to work in the local mill, then as a nursemaid, all against her will. There were dark hints that her stepfather abused her. For whatever reason, she ran away, walking and begging her way to London in the hope of a career on the stage. The theatre was in her blood.

She had a painful struggle to survive and had to take whatever work she could, as barmaid or worse, but she managed to study the great acting roles in the hope of being ‘discovered’. When she was 16, in 1864, it all happened. A wealthy young man, Philip Henry Lee, the Oxford-educated son of a clergyman, fell in love with this beautiful young girl and supported her in her aspirations. They married in November that year – a shock to his family, but she charmed them and won them over. Meanwhile, perhaps through Lee’s contacts, the theatrical manager John Ryder recognised the power of

her remarkable looks and dramatic potential: she got the lead in a production of the popular play ‘The Hunchback’ in Margate where she was a great critical success.

Her London debut was as Juliet, a role she was to reprise many times, and she made a deep impression on her audience. Her success led to a string of other leading roles, in Shakespeare, in plays based on Sir Walter Scott’s work, in contemporary drama. She travelled around the country, performing to great acclaim – she could hold her audience

breathless and spellbound. As her reputation grew so did her salary, and she did not forget her Guiseley family – she visited and helped to make their life more comfortable.

In 1871 she made the first of four tours to the USA where she was feted and celebrated as a great British actress, appearing often in the Shakespearean roles she had made her own. She was in great demand, her talents and beauty much admired: pictures of her sold in their thousands. It was an exhausting life, which may have affected her health. It certainly had an impact on her marriage, and in 1877, in the USA, she divorced her husband, Philip Lee, in an undefended suit.

There were no children, though there were rumours of a baby who had died.

In 1880 she was on a visit to Paris with her old friend and admirer, Admiral Carr Glyn, when she suddenly collapsed and died, without warning. She was only 32. Again there were conflicting stories: she had died in a café after drinking suspect cold milk; she had been riding with friends in the Bois de Boulogne when she collapsed. (In fact it was an internal haemorrhage.) The theatrical world was shocked and horrified, and thousands flocked to her funeral at Brompton cemetery.

Stories about her multiplied after her death, in personal memoirs and press reports.

There was even a libel case. Whatever the truth, she overcame hardship to become a great and serious actress. Her simple gravestone reads ‘Adelaide Neilson / Gifted and Beautiful / Resting’.

We were lucky enough to catch Disney’s award winning musical ‘The Lion King’ at London’s Lyceum Theatre last month, and what a show! We made a weekend of it, travelling down by train on Friday afternoon, and staying at the One Aldwych Hotel, literally just across the road from the Theatre.

had not seen the Disney animated film, but of course was familiar with Elton John and Tim Rice’s music. I was not prepared for the full scale onslaught on my senses.

I would happily sit through the opening sequence again and again. Characters in fantastic colourful costumes, elephants (each leg inhabited by a person!) all kinds of animals, all poured down the isles singing, drummers in theatre boxes either side of the stage drummed away, characters popped up in other boxes singing. It was absolutely thrilling.

The cast was brilliant. Mufasa (Shaun Escoffery) was a wonderful King and Scar (George Asprey) was suitably evil. Keith Bookman and Richard as Pumbaa and Timon had people in stitches. The young and older versions of Simba and Nala were excellent. And, you couldn’t fault the dancing and singing.

Those who were animals had obviously studied how the animals moved. Flocks of Impala pranced across the stage, giraffes loped across, and the wildebeest stampede was pretty impressive. The hyenas were particularly nasty and wonderful at the same time. And, the cheetah was such a beautiful mover and gorgeous to boot.

The stage design, costumes and puppetry were totally mind blowing. I think everyone in the theatre was held spellbound. It was impossible to take it all in – which is why I would like to see it again! With 50 cast members, not only did each one have several changes but each costume was unique. The attention to detail was astonishing. Each beaded top was different, fabrics were dyed and painted, just about every sewing technique imaginable was used.

The director of the show, Julie Taymor, is one of the world’s most innovative directors, and not only did she design the costumes, she also brought a vast array of disciplines to the show, including exploring classic myths through ritualised puppetry, mask, and movement.

This was the first musical she directed in the commercial theatre, and she made Broadway history by becoming the first woman to win the Tony Award® for ‘Best Director of a Musical’.

This is no surprise. In fact, the show’s full creative team won Tony Awards® for their work and they reunited to recreate the show in London. Julie and Michael Curry created hundreds of masks and puppets. Scenic design is

by Richard Hudson and lighting by Donald Holder, and choreography by Garth Fagan.

As well as writing completely new songs, South African composer Lebo M created an evocative blend of African rhythms and chorales, with additional material by Julie

Taymor and Mark Mancina, and Elton John and Tim Rice added three new numbers to the five that they had written for the animated film. The resulting sound is a fusion of Western popular music and the distinctive sounds and rhythms of Africa, including the Academy Award®winning Can You Feel The Love Tonight and the haunting Shadowland.

‘The Lion King’ is now in its seventeenth year at The Lyceum Theatre. It has entertained over 13 million theatregoers and remains the West End’s best-selling stage production. It is currently the sixth longest-running West End musical of all time. It has been seen by more than 80 million people worldwide, and eight productions are running concurrently around the globe. In addition to productions in London and New York, ‘The Lion King’ can currently be seen in Hamburg, Madrid, Tokyo, and Mexico City; and is on tour across North America and Japan. It is due to open in Shanghai and The Netherlands later this year.

One Aldwych hotel was the perfect base for a theatre break, located as it is in Covent Garden close to numerous attractions, including theatres, the London Eye, National Gallery, British Museum, and Tate Modern, and shopping of course. A Five-Star hotel, it has 105 guestrooms and suites, along with the lovely Indigo restaurant on the mezzanine overlooking the Lobby Bar (delicious and gluten-and-dairy-free), the guests-only Lounge at One, a Screening Room and gym with an 18-metre chlorine-free swimming pool and spa.

This Summer, Eneko at One Aldwych will open – a relaxed, stylish restaurant featuring an inventive Basque country menu from Michelin-chef Eneko Atxa. His Azurmendi Restaurant in Bilbao is ranked 19 in the World’s 50 Best Restaurants.

Tickets for ‘The Lion King’ are currently on sale for individuals until 2nd October 2016, and until 27 January 2017 for groups. Box Office number: 0844 871 3000, www. thelionking.co.uk. Do visit our website (www.northleedslife. co.uk) where there’s a short video of the show.

Reading a recent article in the Guardian about what is being coined ‘the new minimalism’ got me pondering on the relationship between us and, well, the stuff we humans accumulate. humans. We have an innate instinct for self expression, decoration and individualisation: to show the world just who we are. Interestingly, at Blackbird, we’re seeing a shift away from the tyranny of the stark and bare metal industrial movement that has dominated interiors for the last few years to something softer, more romantic and playful.

It’s a shift to something more comforting that we appreciate.

So we say down with austere minimalism and hello again to interiors that allow us to really express the beauty of who we are.

argely spurred on by lives increasingly lived online, new minimalism is all about stripping back one’s life materially.

Stripping it back to the bare necessities and de-coupling oneself from consumerism in pursuit of living life to the fullest and sharing the experience with others. So, for example, upgrading the family car would be turned down in favour of taking one’s kith and kin on that hike in the Himalayas.

What made reading this article a curious experience was actually being on a trip to Kerala in Southern India at the time. If you have not visited Kerala, it is a place where more is certainly more.

It’s impossible to convey in words the sheer kaleidoscopic, profound, multisensory beauty of the culture, food, clothes, spirituality and of course the people. The only thing that is minimal is fuss and bother. One is surrounded by ‘maximalism’!

I regularly experienced this in the splendid Tuk-Tuks – three-wheeler black and yellow bumblebee-like motorised micro-cabs that ferry you around for a few rupees. Riding in one is a thrilling experience (given that they’re doorless),

but what is gobsmacking is the sheer artistry and sense of abandon with which the drivers proudly decorate the interior. We’re talking shrines on the dashboard, faux leopard and tiger fur, heavily upholstered in floral fringed damask that would make an 18th century Tzar blush. These guys go to town on embellishing their vehicles. No two are the same and each time you enter you are stepping into that driver’s idea of decor heaven.

It got me thinking about minimalism and how this is counter-intuitive to us

lec Soth, one of the United States’ greatest contemporary photographers, is exhibiting all four of his acclaimed signature projects at the National Media Museum, Bradford - his first major UK exhibition outside London – until 26th June.

‘Gathered Leaves’ brings together ‘Sleeping by the Mississippi’ (2004), ‘Niagara’ (2006), ‘Broken Manual’ (2010) and ‘Songbook’ (2014) – each a discrete series produced from extensive journeys made over a ten year period. First displayed at Media Space in the Science Museum last year, it features 64 images that chronologically map Soth’s major surveys of people and places in the USA, as well as his highly distinctive approach to documentary photography.

“One of the joys of being a photographer is the ability to present my work both in the pages of a book and on the walls of a gallery”, said Alec Soth. “Gathered Leaves provides a journey through all my major publications. I feel like I’m making up for lost time by finally

Art & Culture

presenting all four projects at once.”

Soth seeks a narrative within each series.

Individual photographs that have an often indefinable and lyrical quality, collectively encompass themes such as sexuality and desire (Niagara), reclusion and social withdrawal (Broken Manual), and

human connections in the digital age (Songbook). His photography is closely associated with the great American road trip, as explored by artists and writers such as Robert Frank, Stephen Shore and Jack Kerouac.

“Alec is one of the most significant photographers working today and it’s incredibly exciting to be presenting his first major UK exhibition”, said Kate Bush, curator of Gathered Leaves. “His work belongs within the canon of great American photography of the past century.

He’s an acute observer of contemporary life, always alert to the poetic possibilities of individual triumph and tragedy. He captures a profound sense of what it is to be human, in all its surprising dimensions.”

Gathered Leaves includes the 2010 documentary ‘Somewhere to Disappear’, which follows Soth as he worked on the ‘Broken Manual’ project, along with books and other materials.

Born in 1969, Alec Soth lives in Minnesota. He was inspired to become a photographer while studying art at the Sarah Lawrence College, New York. In 2008 he started his own publishing company, Little Brown Mushroom, through which he publishes his own and others’ work in various formats. Free entry.

Leeds theatre company tutti frutti is set to première WiLd!, a new play by award-winning writer Evan Placey that unravels the story of a boy with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). imed at children from age eight, ‘WiLd!’ will première at The Carriageworks Theatre on 30th April before embarking on a UK and Ireland tour, including York Theatre Royal 15th – 18th June, and various dates during the Yorkshire Festival.

‘WiLd!’ explores the fragility of a misunderstood boy who lives in his imagination, in a sensitive and empathetic, yet fun and accessible way. It tells his story, as he navigates both his real and imaginary worlds, underpinned by the emotions, behaviours and perceptions attached to ADHD. “Having spent my early years as a writer working with young people with ADHD”, said playwright Evan Placey, “I am aware of the stigma and misunderstanding that surrounds them.

I wanted to create a piece where the audience sees everything through his eyes and, through engaging with his creative imagination and the journey of his mind, can begin to understand him.”

Tutti frutti worked closely with Professor David Daley of CANDAL (Centre for ADHD & Neurodevelopmental Disorders across the Lifespan) at the University of Nottingham, where they were involved in sessions with both adults and children with ADHD. “’WiLd!’ is one of the most thrilling projects tutti frutti has embarked on for some time”, said Wendy Harris, tutti frutti’s artistic

inhabiting the world of ADHD and how they navigate it. It is funny and moving and written from Billy’s point of view.”

‘WiLd!’ features music by Dominic Sales, movement by Jo Bernard, and designs by Kate Bunce, which include subtle digital effects. The cast is made up of Rhys Warrington, who portrays not just Billy, but also all the characters in his life, and award-winning percussionist Molly Lopresti.

CPD Day at HEART Headingley Tutti frutti Productions are running a CPD session for teachers and educational professionals exploring ADHD and how it can impact on children’s learning on Friday 6th May 1pm – 4.30pm at HEART, Bennett Road, Headingly.

This half day training will include a performance of WiLd! followed by a presentation by Professor David Daley, Professor of Psychological Intervention and Behaviour Change, Nottingham University and a Q&A session.

Prepare to celebrate the wonderful world of wool! This year’s Wool Festival at Leeds Industrial Museum, Armley Mills will take place on Saturday 4th June, 10am – 5pm. he festival returns for the third year and will include a market place with a fantastic selection of locally produced yarn, craft tools and textiles for sale. It will also feature live music and dance performances inspired by Yorkshire’s textile industry, films in the 1920’s cinema, including the award winning ‘Addicted to Sheep’, as well as some adorable lambs and alpacas.

This will be the first major event that the museum has hosted since it was forced to close due to flooding in December.

“It’s great to see the city’s heritage being celebrated once again in this event”, said Cllr Brian Selby, lead member for museums and galleries. It will be inspiring to see the museum getting back on its feet with such a colourful occasion.”

The Darling Roses branch of the Women’s Institute will run a pop-up café, selling delicious homemade cakes.

Events include a discussion with an Independent Press Panel that brings together northern specialist publishers Comma Press, Valley Press, and Tartarus Press. This will give a fascinating insight

into new and innovative approaches to publishing short stories, as well as providing an opportunity to meet the publishers and ask questions.

Barney Walsh and David Martin will read from their work and discuss the North’s unique literary culture There will be readings with Carys Bray, winner of the Scott Prize and Costa Award nominee, Michael Stewart, winner of the Not the Booker Prize, and Anna Chilvers.

After Party Join them after the event and party the night away at the Hyde Park Book Club, with flash fiction master Benjamin Judge, and the famous ukulele troupe, The Three Amigos. Entry £3 - proceeds to the performers.

A rare live experience tailored specifically to the eeds-based immersive theatre company Riptide is about to transform Studio24 on Mabgate into SWARM, a nightclub, and is inviting visitors to explore the fading glory of a once great spot.

You arrive in an unfamiliar end of town, in front of an unwelcoming door with nothing but the promise of guest list entry, but you can hear music and you know you have found the SWARM. The evening balances precariously between a piece of immersive theatre and a club night.

Riptide asks its audience to animate the evening, their actions effect the drinks on sale, the music, and the lights on the dance floor.

SWARM adds to Leeds’ colourful and diverse nightlife, offering theatre-goers a less traditional evening and clubbers a new world to explore. It will be a rare live experience tailored specifically to the crowd on that day, encouraging people to interact and be curious, breaking down the usual barriers to theatre and enhancing the clubbing experience.

It allows people to take

RIPTIDE creates performances that place the audience at the very heart of the action. Its work is a fusion of the intimate and the epic. Audiences are swept through the narratives, spaces and cities where performances occur and each performance is different, and centres around the audience.

Inkwell Launches Take Over Café Inkwell Arts recently launched the Take Over Café – a project run by young people, for young people.

Thanks to Leeds City Council Housing Advisory Panel (HAP) funding and support from Asda volunteers, six street trees, including Rowan, Italian Alders and Silver Birch have been planted on Lidgett Lane as part of the community led project Lidgett Lane Gateway.

The improvements include LED string lights for the tree at the parade of shops, to create a welcoming environment.

he café aims to provide a safe, creative space where young people (aged 12 – 17) can relax, meet new friends, get involved in creative activities and enjoy wholesome food. It also provides a supportive atmosphere for those struggling at home or school, or who may be experiencing bullying or social isolation. It’s an inclusive, non-judgemental space where everyone is valued and can comfortably discuss ideas about mental health, reduce stigma and improve wellbeing.

Evenings will feature various craft activities, including jewellery, batik, painting and more. There will also be quizzes and team games. Or you can just go along and chill out, listen to music, play the Wii, pop on a film, and enjoy the evening meal when everyone sits down together and has chance to relax and chat.

The Take Over Café was introduced by one of Inkwell’s placement students, Jonathan De-Aston, who recognised the need for a new youth service in North Leeds.

“Through previous experience of working with young people, I have seen the effect that bullying and social isolation can have on mental health”, said Jonathan. “I recognised the need for young people to enjoy themselves in a place where they feel valued and important. By having a team of young volunteers to host the evenings we can share common experiences.”

Lidgett Lane Street Trees

The Take Over Café is on the first and third Thursday of each month, 6 – 9pm and costs just £1.50 per person, including all craft materials and a homemade meal.

Inkwell Arts is a Leeds Mind project situated between Chapeltown and Chapel Allerton, and providing creative arts services to those with experience of mental health difficulties.

For more information please contact Jonathan at 0113 3070108 or jonathan.de-aston@leedsmind.org. uk Inkwell Arts, 31 Potternewton Lane, LS7 3LW www.inkwellarts.org.uk

“The feedback we have had from shopkeepers and residents has been really positive”, said Bhupinder Dev, Chair of Friends of Allerton Grange Fields. “this project is a great example of how voluntary groups, local government and business can work together to enhance the local environment.”

“By working closely with our partners Leeds City Council, and supporting groups like Friends of Allerton Grange Fields, we can make Leeds an even greater place to live and work”, commented Dougal Hartley, Senior Property Manager, Asda.

If you would like to get involved with the work of Friends of Allerton Grange Fields then visit the website www.friendsallertongrange.org for further information.

ingston Unity’s roots are firmly community based and, keen to maintain these links, the organisation has launched Kingston Community, a dedicated arm of the society which enables members to be involved in organising local events, socials and meetings.

Events are open to both members and non-members from the North Leeds area and range from family fun days, to a classic pub quiz.

Families are invited to sign up for Kingston Unity’s Cycle Day on 21st

May, at Weetwood Sports Park. The day comprises various bike themed activities, a cycle repair clinic (courtesy of Edinburgh Bicycle Co-operative), and demonstrations of the latest electronic bikes.

Kingston Unity is also hosting a pub quiz on 6th May at the Original Oak, Headingley, starting 7.30pm.

Entries are welcome from both teams and individuals. No prior booking is required, but to ensure everyone can be accommodated, please register your interest at community@kingstonunity. co.uk.

And, if you love nothing more than grabbing a bag of popcorn and watching a film, Kingston Unity’s cinema club is for you. Films will be shown bi-monthly, 10am – 12 noon, in Leeds Industrial Museum’s 1920’s style cinema. Places are limited and those interested should reserve their place in advance. The next cinema club takes place on 23rd August.

Founded in 1840, Kingston Unity Friendly Society was set up to help working class Hull residents avoid poverty and the threat of the dreaded workhouse. Today, the now Wakefieldbased society continues to provide a range of financial services to its members across Yorkshire and, just as in the 1840s, profits are still shared among them. The society is steeped in tradition, with many of its members third-generation, carrying on the work from their grandparents.

Historic Roundhay Park Map Gifted to Friends of Roundhay Park n his book ‘An Illustrated History of Roundhay Park’, Steven Burt describes how the land came to be purchased in 1871 by John Barran, the Mayor of Leeds, for the enjoyment of the citizens of the city.

To arrange the sale, the owner had instructed Messrs Hepper and Sons, Auctioneers, and Jonathon Eddison, Land Agent and Surveyor, to prepare catalogues and maps to illustrate the 1871 estate. Whilst a copy is held by Leeds Library, the accompanying map has not been available.

However, quite by chance, following an Adair Paxton office move, the original 1871 auction particulars for Roundhay Park, including the map, were discovered and Stephen Holliday, director of Adair Paxton Limited and FoRP member, quickly informed The Friends.

Pictured: : Julia Wilson (chairperson FoRP) receiving disc from Stephen Holliday, Adair Paxton

On 11th April a ceremony was held at Tropical World where Stephen formally presented the digital disc to FoRP Chairperson, Julia Wilson. In turn, FoRP presented a framed copy of the map to Jack Dunn of Leeds City Council, and it will hang in the Tropical World café.

The Friends are delighted to be able to showcase this fascinating document online and unframed copies are available to purchase at A1 or A0 sizes from http://forp.org

News From Your Councillors Cllr

BILL URRY Rounday

School Organisation

The Chancellor announced in the Budget that all schools would become Academies by 2020 or have plans in place. Leeds is committed to work with all education providers and will continue to do so, but there are practical issues which do not touch the constitutional problem of removing elected local authorities as providers of education.

Local authorities are obliged to ensure provision of education for all children of compulsory school age.

Cllr

DAN COHEN Alwoodley

May kicks off election season, with local elections on Thursday 5th May. You can expect to see Neil Buckley, up for election in Alwoodley, looking less cool, calm and collected than his normal suave and sophisticated self (such is the effect of facing the electorate!).

Also on 5th May is the election for the Police Commissioner for West Yorkshire.

This is the person who sets the policing priorities for our whole region - so it’s certainly worth having your say as to who takes on that role.

Thursday 23rd June sees the European referendum on whether or not we should remain members of the EU. Turnout is expected to be very high for this vote, so to avoid long queues it’s advisable to vote early.

Will this continue when they cease to provide education? If not, who will ensure all children have places within a reasonable distance of home? And, with the more fragmented academy arrangements, will all new schools match areas of greatest need?

There are specialist, essential ‘extended services’ that schools can draw on from the local authorities and clusters, including Speech and Language Therapy, Counselling, and Domestic Violence prevention.

These are services schools must have available, but will use only intermittently. Drawing on a wider service covering a number of schools, allows economies of scale to access expert services. Similarly expert school improvement services, staffed by very experienced teachers, often former head teachers, can be deployed to help not just struggling schools, but also to further improve the best. Can these services be provided in future without much greater cost?

Thursday 23rd June should we remain members of the EU?

What will be the process for objecting to school decisions?

Halewood Academy in Knowsley proposes to shut the last sixth form in the town. The local authority has had no part in the decision, and councillors cannot be held to account.

The Council can only seek to work with the school, but if its own provider role ends, for how long will it retain the available expertise to influence matters? Let’s hope that such issues can be addressed without greatly adding to school costs.

Turning to a very different topic… I’ve previously quoted the great Robert Burns “The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray”. I was reminded of this when I learnt at the end of March, that Northern Gas were going to undertake work on The Avenue. The effect of this is to delay the planned Avenue resurfacing from April until later in the Summer.

Residents can be assured that the work will definitely go ahead, but there was simply no point doing a full resurface - only for Northern Gas to then dig it all up. This way, after Northern Gas has been and gone, the road and pavement of The Avenue will get the attention they need.

At which point Neil, Peter and I will focus on the next major road resurfacing project our ward needs.

For any and all local concerns, do remember your local ward councillors are always here to help.

Have a great month.

Leeds North East A Meeting of Minds across the City The Concord Leeds Interfaith Fellowship is 40 years old this year.

I’ve been privileged to be associated with Concord since I first encountered its members when I was Chair of the Council’s Race Equality Ethnic Minorities sub-committee.

Great Leeds figures such as the late Peter Bell and Harbans Singh Sagoo undertook my education, introducing me to many of the organisations, faith groups and inspiring individuals across the city.

I was honoured to be asked to write the foreword to a new book celebrating Concord’s work in Leeds, and to join a panel of speakers at its launch on April 5th in Leeds

Civic Hall. Other Speakers included Rev. Alan Griggs, Dr Harriet Crabtree and Rabbi Douglas Charing. There were also many thoughtful contributions from the audience reflecting on what Concord had meant to them over four decades.

One of the joys of representing Leeds North East constituency is the diversity of faiths and cultures which flourish here. Concord’s work has been crucial in ensuring that members of the different religious groups work together for peace.

Its constitution states that its aims include the fostering of mutual understanding and

Its aims include the fostering of mutual understanding and respect, as well as working for justice, peace and social harmony respect, as well as working for justice, peace and social harmony.

Checkmate at Reginald Centre A new, jumbo sized chess set has arrived at The Reginald Centre, to join the large board that has been painted on the space out front of the centre.

Tea Cosy+ Café Opens in Roundhay The Tea Cosy + Cafe, specifically for those affected by dementia and their carers, will open at Lidgett Lane Community Centre on the 4th May and thereafter on the first Wednesday of every month.

Pictured: : Cllrs Jane Dowson, Eileen Taylor & Mohammed Rafique, with children from Chapel Allerton Primary & head teacher Mr Sykes.

ouncillors Eileen Taylor, Jane Dawson and Mohammed Rafique helped to acquire the set and they hope that chess players with a passion for the game will be able to pass this on to a new generation.

Children from Chapel Allerton Primary School recently visited the centre and were presented with goody bags, including chess sets, to encourage them to establish a chess club at their school.

“Chess is a great game to help people think ahead, plot their moves and learn how to be a good sport”, said Cllr Eileen Taylor. “Chapel Allerton has many diverse communities and one thing we find they all share is a love of chess.”

Thank You from Marie Curie Marie Curie nurses would like to thank everyone involved in making the 2016 Great Daffodil Appeal a resounding success.

Documentary Provides Insight into Deaf Community The idea for the film ‘Power in Our Hands’ began in 2004 when a group of builders stumbled across the long-lost film from the British Deaf Association, dating back to the 1930s.

The forgotten footage, a compilation of historical archive footage of the deaf community, has now been compiled into a documentary, its narrative being the recognition of British Sign Language (BSL) and deaf rights. The film gives a fascinating insight into what the deaf community has had to go through in its struggle for equality.

he appeal saw volunteers out in force across Leeds, encouraging people to make a donation and wear the charity’s daffodil pin to help Marie Curie Nurses continue to give care and support to people living with a terminal illness in their own homes.

They raised over £14,000 through street and supermarket collections, and money is still coming in from various sites and daffodil-themed events.

Special thanks go to the Carnegie Cheerleading team, the Leeds Beckett Hockey Team, Leeds Trinity University, Fin Henderson, UK Garrison and MINI Stratstone in Leeds, and everyone else who has supported the appeal.

“The Great Daffodil Appeal is the Charity’s biggest annual fundraiser and we would like to thank everyone in Yorkshire for getting behind it”, said

Liz Howlett, Marie Curie’s Yorkshire Fundraising Manager. “By supporting the appeal and helping to raise vital funds, you’re bringing care and support to people living with a terminal illness, as well as peace of mind and a chance to rest for their families.”

Marie Curie nurses and healthcare assistants deliver nursing care overnight, or flexible shorter visits during the day or evening to help patients remain in their own homes. They are experienced in caring for people with terminal illnesses and can help them cope with their symptoms. They also offer advice and emotional support to family members and carers.

There are numerous ways to get involved with Marie Curie. For further information, visit www.mariecurie.org. uk

Rather than focusing on medical definitions of hearing loss, the film presents deaf people as an active and resilient community that has long campaigned for their language to be recognised. From the social scenes of the 1930s, to the march for BSL recognition in 2000 – the documentary gives people a glimpse into deaf culture.

“What the film highlights is that British Sign Language cannot be recorded in any way other than film – this is the only way the language can be preserved for future generation”, said project manager Jemma Buckley. “Power in Our Hands reveals the secret history and heritage of the deaf community in the UK.” Power in Our Hands will be screened at Seven Arts, Chapel Allerton, on Wednesday 18th May at 6:30 pm.

They can be distinguished from swallows and house martins by their brown upperparts and the brown band across their chest, and by the absence of tail streamers.

They nest in holes which they excavate in riverbanks and sometimes artificial sites such as drainpipes. The holes end in a small chamber containing a nest of grass and feathers. They lay four or five eggs and

In Spring, a sand martin colony is a memorable sight, as dozens of birds swoop over the river catching insects, and diving in and out of their nest holes.

nesting for some time

As the first swallows and swifts arrive for the Summer, other garden birds have been busy nesting for some time and many are frantically busy. Some may have raised more than one brood by now and a few, notably blue tits often look utterly worn out. Broken egg shells appearing on lawns and paths don’t always mean that predators have raided a nest as it is common for adult birds to carry the shells well away from the nest after chicks have hatched.

If you have the slightest suspicion that birds may be nesting in your garden then it’s best to avoid hedge trimming and shrub pruning this month.

Garden mammals, too are very active at this time of year, particularly at night when strange noises may indicate that mating hedgehogs are at large, or at dusk when bats can be seen swooping around as they hunt, making the most of the increasing numbers of insects.

For the vegetable patch there are still many things that can be sown directly too, including French beans

Dill – for frothy lime/yellow flower heads that make perfect partners for almost any other flowers from your cutting patch.

Lagurus ovatus – Hare’s Tail grass flowers about four months after planting, so seed sown now should produce irresistible fluffy little flower heads in September.

For the vegetable patch there are still many things that can be sown directly too, including French beans, beetroot, carrots, sprouting broccoli, lettuce, peas, chard, radishes, rocket, spinach, winter cabbage and kale.

FILM

REVIEW

MIDNIGHT SPECIAL DIRECTED BY: : JEFF NICHOLS STARRING: MICHAEL SHANNON, JOEL EDGERTON, KIRSTEN DUNST, ADAM DRIVER

CERT: 12A RUNNING TIME: 112 MINS riter/director Jeff Nichols seems to be making something of a name for himself by producing low-key, slow burners like Mud and Take Shelter – tense, edgy dramas laced with a southern gothic feel. As such, I was interested to see this mostly well received sci-fi tinged road/chase movie. Unfortunately, it turns out to be a middling and uneven affair which squanders its early promise and whatever intrigue it manages to generate.

The story centres around a young boy, Alton, who possesses (frankly rather vague) ‘special abilities’. As the film begins, Alton’s father Roy (Shannon) and his accomplice Lucas (Edgerton) have rescued him from a religious cult and absconded. The boy’s supernatural powers have seen the sect come to regard him as key to their salvation and so the cult leader (an underused Sam Shepard) dispatches two of his flock to bring the magic kid back. Perhaps even more troublesome for Roy, Lucas and little Alton is that the government is also on their trail, disconcerted, no doubt, by the wunderkind’s ability to mess up satellites and pluck military security codes out of the ether (look, I told you this was all kind of vague).

The film struggles to maintain any kind of momentum

A mysteriously gifted youngster and his guardians on the run, pursued by a pair of sinister entities; so far, so exciting, right? Well, not quite. While the premise as a jumping off point has potential it’s never really capitalised on and the film quickly becomes a road movie that’s going nowhere. It feels like there could be a really good film in here trying to get out, but what happens instead is that Midnight Special sporadically throws out an interesting idea then seems to not know what to do with it. Just as when, after an interminable period of not much happening, there’s a sudden burst of dramatic action, the ball is fumbled pretty much immediately and the film struggles to maintain any kind of momentum.

There have been comparisons made to Spielberg’s Close Encounters but that really is something of a stretch as Midnight Special doesn’t get anywhere near inspiring that film’s sense of wonder. In fact, as we close in on the final denouement one’s response to the big payoff is mostly ‘huh?’ and ultimately ‘meh’. Not to mention that this is swiftly followed by one of the most bafflingly unsatisfying endings I’ve seen on screen for some time.

Furthermore, I can’t be the only one who’s more than a little tired of the golden child/magic moppet trope. Surely this narrative cliché is thoroughly played out at this point.

While this isn’t an indictment of all

child actors by any means, it’s the ‘special’ ones that particularly seem to grate. Whether it’s some ‘chosen one’, a child prodigy or idiot savant, these kids are almost invariably creepy and irritating. Seems there’s a fine line

between precocious and intolerable.

As a fan of smart and original Science Fiction wherein more overtly sci-fi elements are downplayed and kept on a back burner (Gareth Edwards’ Monsters and Rian Johnson’s Looper are good examples) it’s frustrating that this is one of the things Midnight Special very nearly does well.

However, the film’s fantastical elements are so deeply couched within the confines of a more conventional, earthbound and dull picture that it’s unable to reconcile these motifs.

Midnight Special reaches for something cosmic but never really manages to get off the ground.

Pictured: Zoe Rahman & Courtney Pine

ay brings wonderful jazz luminaries, a country/folk collaboration, and the Leeds debut of the legendary Kronos Quartet to the Howard Assembly Room.

The great jazz multi-instrumentalist Courtney Pine is joined by pianist Zoe Rahman for an intimate airing of his 16th studio album ‘Song’ (The Ballad Book) on Wednesday 4th May. Familiar standards rub shoulders with more recent numbers from Chaka Khan and Donny Hathaway, united by Pine’s virtuosic bass clarinet and Rahman’s exquisite keyboard interplay.

Hammond organ maestro Cory Henry (Saturday 14th May) also uses the Great American Songbook as his raw material.

Moving out of the shadow of his jazz-funk group Snarky Puppy with his latest project ‘The Revival’, he takes jazz and gospel standards as jumping-off points for playful, soulful improvised excursions.

Two jazz icons, South African horn player Hugh Masekela and American pianist Larry Willis, appear on Saturday 28th May. Their celebrated live appearances take in Masekela’s apartheid-era Afro-jazz, hits like ‘Grazing in the Grass’, and yet more standards from the likes of Gershwin and Cole Porter.

On Thursday 12th May you can expect mesmerising, countrified harmonies from Teddy Thompson and Kelly Jones, reminiscent of the Everly Brothers or Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, and writing that captures complex emotions with simple honesty.

San Francisco’s Kronos Quartet makes its Leeds debut on Tuesday 17th May. This revolutionary ensemble will deliver a wideranging programme taking in Terry Riley’s minimalism, Armenian polyphony from Komitas, The Who’s ‘Baba O’Riley’ and the world premiere of a new piece by Martin Green of Lau fame.

Zither player and New Age pioneer Laraaji brings his groundbreaking collaboration with Brian Eno to the stage on Friday 27th May. Combining the harmonic and rhythmic repetitions of minimalism with the timbres of Javan gamelan and traditional Indian music, their 1980 album ‘Ambient 3: Day of Radiance’, came about after Eno discovered the classically trained former actor and comedian busking one night in Washington Square Park.

New Orleans’ Hot 8 Brass Band are back by popular

The Leeds Flamenco Festival

demand and ready to toast their 20th Anniversary in typical roof-raising style in support of new album ‘Vicennial – 20 Years of the Hot 8 Brass Band’.

Leeds Flamenco Festival is one of Leeds’ most unique cultural events.

This year it is taking place on 27th and 28th May at Arts@Trinity, Holy Trinity Church, Boar Lane, LS1.

ne of the great New Orleans acts, Hot 8 have overcome a daunting series of trials and tribulations. The devastation of Hurricane Katrina, the separate deaths of five of their band members, and the horror of trumpeter Terrell “Burger” Batiste losing his legs in a car crash, conspired to test these men almost to breaking point.

They honour their fallen friends and help to work towards the future of their community by putting their energies into positive projects at home as well as touring as much as possible. They march together and they play their music - a rambunctious yet elegant and super-tight mix of jazz, funk and hip hop – not merely as though, but because their lives depend on it.

Transcending genres and trends, Hot 8’s party rocking sound and indomitable

energy have become renowned across the world. The band has performed with a wide range of artists, from Lauryn Hill to Mos Def, and their incredible story was featured in Spike Lee’s two New Orleans documentaries When The Levee Broke and The Creek Don’t Rise. They played themselves in David Simon’s hit series Treme, and in 2013, were nominated for a Grammy award for their album The Life and Times Of… One of the funkiest groups from the New Orleans scene, Hot 8 Brass Band continue to win over audiences with their old school street brass approach, fusing it with some harder, funkier currents in the process.

Hot 8 are at The HiFi Club 2 Central Road LS1, Tue 17th May, 8pm Tickets £16:50

For the past four years, the festival has brought some of the world’s best flamenco artists to the city and this year is no exception. Headline performances include the internationally acclaimed flamenco guitarist Juan Martín performing in his flamenco dance trio featuring dancer Luisa Chicano and singer Amparo Heredia.

In addition, there will be flamenco dance and guitar performances from the students at Leeds Instituto Cervantes, and performances from Horsforth Flamenco Dance, Hebden Bridge Flamenco and Candy Kaiser.

There will also be a lunchtime concert with the West Yorkshire Classical Guitar Society; a solo recital from flamenco concert recitalist Samuel Moore; an ensemble performance from the Latin band Mestisa; and a wine tasting event with Spanish wine company, Don Simon.

Tickets are available from Jumbo Records at www.jumborecords.co.uk, 0113 245 5570 For full details, visit http:// samuelmooremusic.co.uk/blog/?p=563

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!

ADVERTISEMENT

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows.

The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services.

Manager Joel Skinner feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps.

Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’

Cloudy2Clear service the Alwoodley, Chapel Allerton, Moortown & Roundhay areas and Joel is finding that his approach is a major factor

in his success.‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for,

which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Joel a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Join the Public and Patient Liaison Group ow in its 35th year, the St Gemma’s Windermere Row on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th June is a challenging event in the Lake District that sees people coming back year after year.

Set against the glorious backdrop of the fells, The Row will see people taking on either ten or 21 mile routes, starting at Ambleside and making their way to Bowness or Fellfoot and back.

Two, four, six, seven and eightman boats are available and full health and safety briefings will be given, along with life jackets, and plenty of encouragement from shore. Saturday is already booked out, but there are plenty of spaces available for Sunday.

Take on the challenge with a large team, or reserve a few smaller boats and race against your friends. Times are taken from when you push off to when you return - the clock doesn’t stop for checkpoint breaks!

With this sponsored event they hope to beat the £40,000 raised in 2015. There is no upfront cost but sponsorship is set at £85 minimum per person. Rudders are available on a first come first served basis. Exhausted rowers will be welcomed back with medals and treats in a large beer garden at the water’s edge.

There will be medals and treats in the beer garden

St Gemma’s Hospice helps over 2,500 people a year in Leeds with life limiting illnesses, offering free services both on site in Moortown and in the community.

For more information and to reserve a boat, contact Nicola on 0113 218 5570, nicolah@st-gemma.co.uk or visit www.st-gemma.co.uk/windermere

The Society and College of Radiographers is inviting more people to join its Public and Patient Liaison Group, which is made up of patients and carers.

Nine out of ten patients who go to hospital will see a radiographer.

Either a diagnostic radiographer who produces images such as x-rays, CT or ultrasound scans, or a therapeutic radiographer who uses radiation to treat cancer.

Members of the group can raise issues that are important to them and ultimately could influence the radiography profession. It is important that patients use this opportunity to share in decision making about the care and treatment that they receive.

If you are interested in joining, go to the ‘About radiography’ section of the Society’s website at www.sor. org, where you can read more about the group and its work. Or email Liz Robinson at lizr@sor.org and she will provide more information and answer questions.

Swim on your own or as part of a group. However you choose to do it, this is a fantastic challenge and Heart Research UK would love you to join swimmers who are signing up all over the country to help them fight against heart disease.

Among those who have already done the Swim The Channel Challenge are Rugby League star Adrian Purtell and two of his teammates, Dan Fleming and James Mendeika, from Bradford Bulls. Adrian, an ambassador for Heart Research UK, is back playing after suffering a heart attack after a game in 2012. “I did the challenge because it’s something I was able to do in my own time at my own pace, and it’s a fun thing to do”, said Adrian. “So why not take up

Swim on your own or as part of a group the challenge yourself in your local pool and help Heart Research UK’s work in the prevention, treatment and cure of heart disease.”

Leeds Beckett Stock Market Challenge School pupils from across the region recently took part in the Leeds Beckett University annual Stock Market and Investment Challenges.

It would be good to do this more often because we’ve all really enjoyed it

Pictured: Amar Chana & Dr Peter Nelson, Associate Dean of the Faculty of Business & Law at Leeds Beckett.

he competition, saw students put their financial and problem-solving skills to the test as they were tasked with applying their knowledge of mathematics, business and economics, whilst developing their communication, decision making, teambuilding and negotiation skills.

Nearly 100 Year eight and nine pupils took part over the two day event, and around 25 Year 12 pupils went to Leeds Business School’s new professional trading floor at the Rose Bowl for the Investment Challenge.

The overall winner of the Investment Challenge was Amar Chana from Roundhay School. “It was such a good experience and I feel like I’ve gained something from it”, said Amar. “It would be good to do this more often because we’ve all really enjoyed it. I’m studying Economics and it’s given me a good insight into potential future careers.”

Roundhay School Economics and Business Teacher, Mark Lee, added: “Today has been very useful for our pupils: they were really engaged in the subjects and got a lot out of it in terms of learning how the stock market works.

It’s enabled them to demonstrate some of their analytical skills and make judgements based on their analysis.”

Assisting the Stock Market Challenge pupils were five volunteers from Lloyds Banking Group. “My

role today was as one of the stock market dealers”, said Catherine Hatch, a Team Manager at Lloyds and former pupil at Cardinal Heenan.

“The children are doing Business Studies and Maths at school so this gives them a really good idea of what it would be like to go down the stock market or financial market route. I really enjoyed the day and think it’s a really good opportunity for the pupils to think about their futures.”

The initiative offers a unique engagement opportunity between schools and the University and aims to help students leave school prepared for the world of work with the capabilities and confidence to handle future higher education and career decisions.

Allerton High Grows Seeds from Space! upils at Allerton High School are preparing to become space biologists and embark on a voyage of discovery by growing seeds that have been into space.

In September 2015, 2kg of rocket seeds were flown to the International Space Station (ISS) on Soyuz 44S where they spent several months in microgravity before returning to Earth this March. The seeds are part of Rocket Science, an educational project launched by the RHS Campaign for School Gardening and the UK Space Agency. Allerton High is one of a selection of schools to receive a packet of 100 seeds from space, which they will grow alongside ordinary seeds and

measure the differences over seven weeks.

The pupils won’t know which seed packet contains which seeds until all the results have been collected by the RHS Campaign for School Gardening and analysed by professional biostatisticians. The out-of-this-world, nationwide science experiment will enable the pupils to think about how we could preserve human life on another planet in the future, what astronauts need to survive long-term missions in space, and the difficulties surrounding growing fresh food in challenging climates.

“We are very excited to be taking part in Rocket Science”, said Mr Allcock,

Deputy Head of Science at Allerton High School. “This experiment is a fantastic way of teaching our pupils to think more scientifically and share their findings with the whole school.”

Rocket Science is just one project in a programme developed by the UK Space Agency to celebrate British ESA astronaut Tim Peake’s Principia mission to the ISS and inspire young people to look into careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects.

Pupils from schools across Leeds, including Lawnswood, Horsforth, Roundhay and Allerton High Schools, rolled up to Leeds Beckett’s Headingley Campus recently to take part in the annual science circus.

he event featured a series of ten science-based activities representing the broad spectrum of scientific, technological and engineering-related degree courses available at the university.

“Student volunteers from across our Computer Forensics and Security courses ran a hands-on workshop that stripped back the world of computer security from the technical and linked the basics of old-style lock mechanisms with the principles of

modern computer security”, said Emlyn Butterfield, Senior Lecturer in the School of Computing, Creative Technology and Engineering, who led a session on computer forensics and security.

“The pupils worked through a series of lock function exercises, looking at how their security could be bypassed. The overarching theme was to get them to understanding that security is more than a password or single mechanism, but relies on a

complete secure system.”

The science circus event is about getting young people to consider things that they might never have thought of doing. They might not have even considered that all of these varied subjects were actually sciences, or have even known that they existed.

The interactive aspect really helped get them involved, linking in with their studies and giving them a head start in the future.
