WILLIAM HENRY BRAGG (1862-1942) PHYSICIST AND NOBEL LAUREATE

Just over 100 years ago Leeds was the scene of one of the great scientific advances of the twentieth century: the development of the new science of X-ray crystallography, key to the understanding of the structure of our world and of life itself. The two brilliant figures behind this work were father and son William Henry and William Lawrence Bragg, who in a few short years before the First World War worked together in Leeds on ground-breaking research and developed essential apparatus for this pioneering new branch of science. illiam Henry Bragg came to Leeds in 1909 to take up the post of Cavendish Professor of Physics at the University, after more than twenty years in Australia. He was originally from Cumberland, where he was born in 1862 at his father’s farm near Wigton. His mother died when he was only seven and he was sent to live with his uncle in Market Harborough, where he went to the grammar school, then on to college in the Isle of Man. He won a scholarship to Cambridge to study mathematics and graduated brilliantly. On a last minute impulse he applied for the post of Professor of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Adelaide and to his surprise was appointed. He was 23.

Students will work together as a production team, collaborating with others from across the College’s creative portfolio. Fashion Design and Fashion Branding with Communication will replace the current Fashion course and has been developed to allow greater opportunity for specialism in a chosen field. Fashion Branding with Communication students will explore the theories behind fashion branding and develop skills in how to position and promote a brand. Fashion Design teaches innovative methods

and approaches to design, alongside traditional techniques a n d technical s k i l l s , preparing students for a career in the fashion industry. S t u d e n t s interested in commercial and comic arts will have the opportunity to study industry focused, specialist Comic and Concept Arts. The course is designed to prepare students for work as commercial illustrators, artists and designers, learning to build and manage their professional practice. This course will run alongside the established Illustration, Graphic Design, Animation and Creative Advertising courses. “These new courses come at an exciting time for the College”, said Professor Simone Wonnacott, Principal, Leeds College of Art. “Our state-of-the-art building and facilities expansion is underway and we await confirmation of our status as the only specialist arts university in the North of England. Expanding our provision allows us to offer students a more diverse mix of courses, with the opportunity to collaborate across art, design, music and filmmaking.” The music and filmmaking courses will be taught in specialist new facilities, part of the College’s new £22 million expansion, which includes a 230 seat auditorium, a specialist arts library, open plan entrance with a public exhibition gallery, and an enterprise centre, which will allow the College to engage more with regional businesses, and communities of Leeds.

When you work in a city, the prospect of getting away from it all and not having to travel too far to do so, is very appealing. So, when approached to experience a luxury lodge on the East Coast, only an hour and a half from Leeds, we jumped at the chance! ‘The Lakes’ is a gated development just outside Skipsea, near Driffield. Lodges are sited in attractive little clusters around a beautifully kept, wooded park. At the furthest point, overlooking the large fishing and wild fowl lake, are eight, top-of-the-range luxury lodges. Like all the lodges on the development, these lodges are for sale as holiday homes. The entire development is owner occupied, as is the neighbouring Far Grange Holiday Park, which has been established for over 40 years. These super lodges come in four contemporary styles, each completely fitted out and furnished with impeccable style. They are bright, spacious and supremely comfortable. The large decks sweep around one side of the lodge and are big enough to accommodate hot tub, BBQ area, several comfy recliners, or a huge family party! And, nestled among the trees, there is plenty of space between lodges, providing all the privacy you could desire. And, there is 24-hour security.

What struck us immediately was how peaceful it was. Sitting out on that deck (admittedly wrapped in a blanket!) watching the geese and ducks on the lake and listening to the breeze in the trees was heaven! Of course, if the peace and quiet gets too much, you can luxuriate in The Lakes spa, go fishing, or join the 18-hole Golf Club across the road at a special ‘owners’ rate. There’s a lovely heated, indoor pool with spa facilities, a well

equipped gym and tennis courts at Far Grange, which you have access to, plus all kinds of activities and entertainment – including cabaret, quizzes, bingo, crafts, and a huge variety of activities for children. The whole development has a real community feel, where owners can choose to chill out in their own lodge or socialize, and create a real home away from home. Another huge draw is the miles of beach. At full tide we came across people fishing from the shore – they had actually caught a number of fish too, including Cod and Rockling. And, a paved pathway from the top of the clay cliffs down to the beach provides easy access for pushchairs and wheelchairs. It’s a pebbly beach but, as the sea has been eroding this coastline for years, you’ll come across all kinds of interesting bits and pieces.

What struck us immediately was how peaceful it was The Lakes is also situated within easy reach of attractions like The Deep at Hull, Bempton Cliffs with their puffins, kittiwakes, gannets and guillemots, Bridlington, and Beverley with its great Saturday market.

More Messing About on the Water! Leeds Waterfront Festival Tenth Anniversary Weekend The annual Leeds Waterfront Festival returns on 24th/25th June and promises to be the best yet! The festival will be brimming with activities and creativity on the water, on boats, and on dry land, alongside family-friendly activities, music, performance and art! 017 marks the tenth anniversary of the Leeds Waterfront Festival and it will be a very special weekend. Starting at Armley Industrial Museum, the festival celebrates key sites along the canal and river, including Granary Wharf, a French-themed feast by Brasserie Blanc at Victoria Wharf, vintage and designer market with Craft Ales and live music at Calls Landing, a party atmosphere at Brewery Wharf with Leeds legends Utah Saints headlining at 212 Café Bar. Then head to The Heart of the South Bank with The Tetley, the legendary Dragon Boat Races and Street Food Awards at Leeds Dock. There will be historical storytelling at The Royal Armouries, and a curious mock weir and book launch by the river on Armouries Way hosted by the Flood Alleviation Scheme; plus musical boat trips and family-themed fun at Thwaite Mills!

“The festival is a fantastic demonstration of how the waterfront community can work together to produce something r e a l l y special”, said Sue Jennings, MD Leeds Waterfront Festival. “Community groups, social enterprises, charities, waterside businesses and developers collaborate to provide visitors with the best experience they could hope for along the waterfront. It’s a brilliant achievement to reach our tenth anniversary and a credit to the team and volunteers who help to make this event so special.” Tom Wright, Development & Engagement Manager at the Canal & River Trust added: “This year there are even more

activities taking place on our waterways with canal barges, boat trips, canoe taster sessions, dragon boat racing, standup paddle boarding, canoe polo and the Junk Boat race. If you’ve never explored the Leeds waterfront – this is the perfect chance to see what’s on your doorstep.”

A fantastic demonstration of how the waterfront community can work together The Leeds Waterfront Festival Team will be inviting you to get involved in a very exciting World Record attempt too, check www.leedswaterfrontfestival.com/ for more information!

Ode to Leeds – Words Can Take You to Surprising Places ‘Ode to Leeds’ is a powerful new play by Zodwa Nyoni, whose first full length play, ‘Boi Boi is Dead’, won the Channel 4 Playwright’s Scheme and was shown at West Yorkshire Playhouse in 2014, when she was also Writer in Residence at The Playhouse.

It’s the story of a group of young people trying to make sense of the world

nspired by the city’s renowned spoken word poetry group, Leeds Young Authors, ‘Ode to Leeds’ follows five young people as they pursue their dream of reaching America’s ‘Brave New Voices’ slam poetry competition in New York. Zodwa was part of this group, which not only gave these young writers a voice, it enabled their words to take them on an incredible journey. They came to represent their city, their country. It was truly a momentous occasion and so exciting. Performance poetry was not seen as being as respectable as page poetry but Young Authors and this competition valued their voices and put them on a big international stage. However, their route to success was undermined by personal rivalries and inner demons that threatened the team’s very foundations. Powerful, passionate, angry and open-hearted, ‘Ode to Leeds’ is a celebration of spoken word, music and movement and an inspiring portrait of young people striving to change their world through art. “Having a platform where you feel safe enough to express yourself is vital for young people”, said Zodwa. “Leeds Young Authors was that platform for me. From there, I moved into theatre, exploring writing in a different form.

‘Ode to Leeds’ connects where I began with where I am now. It’s the story of a group of young people trying to make sense of the world, who find themselves and become the voice of their city.” A range of creative activity in partnership with schools and spoken word artists is being developed by the Playhouse to support, inspire and offer opportunities for people across Leeds to engage with spoken word poetry. This includes workshops, activities and talks both for schools and young people across the city, and a mixture of open mic and professional slam poetry nights at the Playhouse with leading performance poets.

Fifty Years of Leeds West Indian Carnival Celebrated at International Event three-day celebration of Caribbean Carnival cultures has just taken place at Leeds Beckett University to mark 50 years of the Leeds West Indian Carnival – the first Caribbean-style street carnival in Europe. ‘Power, Performance and Play - An International Conference on Caribbean Carnival Cultures’, was hosted by the Leeds Beckett Centre for Culture and the Arts in partnership with Leeds West Indian Carnival. More than 100 carnival researchers and artists from across the world gathered to share their work, alongside interactive workshops, music, dance, Caribbean food and carnival costumes. The conference was organised by Dr Emily Zobel Marshall, Senior Lecturer in the School of Cultural Studies and Humanities, whose passion for the cultures of the Caribbean stems from her heritage in Martinique and her grandfather, well-known Caribbean novelist Joseph Zobel. Professor Emeritus Max Farrar, who has been involved carnival in Leeds for more than 40 years, was co-organiser. The conference had global scope and saw the launch of a new Carnival Cultures research group at the University.

Art & Culture

“The group aims to deal with some of the issues regarding the underrepresentation of black and minority ethnic students and cultures in academia, whilst developing stronger community partnerships”, said Dr Zobel Marshall. “It will also feed into strengthening the Leeds bid for 2023 European Capital of Culture.” In Dr Zobel Marshall’s presentation she examined traditional carnival masquerade characters, such as the Midnight Robber, and asked if they could still be interpreted as historical resistance figures, or if commercialisation had drained them of their appeal and influence. Commercialisation has reduced the numbers of participants who took up political themes and incorporated them into troupes to perform on the streets on August Bank Holiday in Leeds. “Traditional mas characters such as the Midnight Robbers are in danger of being forgotten as the beautiful bodies in bikinis usurp the traditional carnival masquerade”, she said. Other presenters included Trinidadian playwright, Tony Hall; Professor Milla Riggio, a world-leading researcher of Trinidadian carnival from Trinity College, Connecticut; and Michael La Rose, designer and leader of London’s People’s War Carnival Band. Arthur France MBE, Chair and Founder of the Leeds West Indian Carnival, said: “The Leeds Carnival has its roots in Africa, Europe and the Caribbean. For 50 years we have brought the message of emancipation and multiculturalism to the city of Leeds. This conference was an opportunity to celebrate our achievement and discuss how we can make it even more significant in years to come.” Other research showcased included: Carnival performance as catharsis for gay people of colour; traditional carnival masquerade as a form of cultural resistance and personal transformation; the history of carnival music such as calypso and soca; the African influence on carnival practices; the Barbados ‘Crop Over’ carnival; and Carnival as an opportunity to provide culturally-specific, psychosocial support for Black communities in the UK.

The Leeds Savage Club was reformed in 2010, taking its name and ethos from the original club founded by Edmund Bogg around 1891 (recently featured by Eveleigh Bradford in her ‘They Lived in Leeds’ column). The club has stayed true to its founder’s mission to bring together local creatives and encourage freedom of expression. hese days Savage Club members meet in the Packhorse pub (off Briggate) every second Wednesday, reading their work, providing constructive criticism, and discussing literary theory - when they haven’t been sidetracked by politics, books or jokes! Some members have turned up to their first meeting without ever having put pen to paper, others have published multiple books, write dark horror and science fiction, or love poems and children books. It is this mix that makes the club so special. All members are encouraged to share, give feedback and take part in events.

The club is proud of its long history

Proud of its long history, the club is looking forward to a great future. This year it has launched two new projects – Savages Extended, which is exclusively for longer fiction, and Savages Out Loud, a public open mic event. Future plans include printed projects, socials, zines, podcasts and, of course, more events that the public can join in with. If this interests you, now is the time to get involved and help shape the future of this great Leeds club and maybe let it help shape yours too!

Refugee Week At The Playhouse

To mark Refugee Week (19th – 25th June), West Yorkshire Playhouse, the UK’s first ever Theatre of Sanctuary, is exploring the reality of refugee experiences through a range of stimulating performances and insightful discussion events. This includes:

‘Windows of Displacement’ (Tues 20th/Weds 21st June), the première of a new solo show choreographed and performed by Akeim Toussaint Buck; ‘Scattered’ (Thurs 22nd June) by Tim Baker, based on the original production by Theatr Clwyd, and directed by John Young, a story of friendship between two teenage boys from contrasting backgrounds; ‘Free to Stay’ (Weds 21st June) by Bradford-based Displace Yourself Theatre, inspired by real accounts of statelessness in the UK and overseas. A free public talk, aimed at demystifying the reality of refugees’ experiences, will take place on Thursday 22nd June at 5.30pm. The week begins with the Theatre of Sanctuary Big Get Together, a social event for refugees and asylum seekers on Monday 19th June – part of the Great Get Together, inspired by the late Jo Cox. Attendees will receive a warm welcome, and are invited to share a traditional dish, music or dance from their culture. “West Yorkshire Playhouse is a theatre that tells incredible stories, and we’re a richer cultural organisation because of the diversity of the city”, said James Brining. “We embrace and celebrate Refugee Week with performances that are based in and inspired by real experiences.

Gimme Gimme Gimme! Mamma Mia! At Leeds Grand Theatre Mamma Mia! is getting ready to shimmy its way into Leeds Grand Theatre as part of its first UK tour at the end of May. et on a Greek island paradise, Mamma Mia! is a fun story of love, friendship and identity cleverly told through the timeless songs of ABBA. Sophie’s quest to discover the father she’s never known brings her mother face to face with three men from her distant romantic past on the eve of a wedding they’ll never forget. From West End to global phenomenon, the London production has now been seen by more than 10% of the entire UK population. It is one of only five musicals to have run for more than ten years both on

Broadway and in the West End and, in 2011, it became the first Western musical ever to be staged in Mandarin in China. “Mamma Mia! has been thrilling audiences of all ages all around the world, and now the party comes to Leeds Grand Theatre for the first time”, says the theatre’s General Manager, Ian Sime. “It promises to be a sensational feel-good show.” Mamma Mia is at Leeds Grand Theatre from Tuesday 30th May – Saturday 8th July. Tickets (£26 – £59.50) are available from 0844 848 2700, or online at leedsgrandtheatre.com

Dough Bistro is ‘Best Suburban Restaurant’ You know the worst thing about Dough Bistro? You forget it’s there - and you really should’nt. Situated at Butcher Hill in West Park, Dough is somewhat isolated in terms of points of interest that would make for an evening out, but the food here makes it a destination well worth going off the beaten track for. ur memories of Dough received a timely jog when we saw that it had won Best Suburban Restaurant in the Yorkshire Evening Post’s Oliver Awards 2017. The last time we ate there owner Luke Downing had been cooking, ably assisted by Laura MacLeod, and it was delicious. Today it is Laura who is running Dough and the standard couldn’t be higher – to be awarded Best Suburban Restaurant at age 24 is some achievement! We opted to try her new Spring tasting menu – five courses with complementing drinks. One of us not being a meat eater, Laura was happy to substitute mouthwatering scallops and Sea Bream for the meat dishes. First up was a teasingly delicious amuse bouche of breadcrumb crusted mussel with curried mayo. Our interest was piqued, our appetites whetted, and our taste buds begging for more! A cheeky intro (of which I could happily have eaten a dozen more) that let us know something very special was in store. Next was a terrine-like arrangement of gin-cured mackerel with a beautifully light goat’s cheese mousse, with a shard of fresh fig, redcurrant and coriander oil. A minifestival of sharp and tart flavours, it came paired with a gin and tonic which served to balance and accentuate the bright, multi-layered tanginess.

In contrast to that dish’s lightness, the following plate was an altogether more potent affair – gloriously rich, gamey and smoky pigeon breast with a gorgeous saffron labneh, a dusting of ground pistachio, pomegranate, dandelion honey and apricot. The umami-heavy, intense flavor of the pigeon could have verged on the overpowering were it not for the fruit accompaniment - the apricot and pomegranate offsetting its robustness and combining with the honey to deliver a one-two punch of bitter and sweet. This heady combo was paired with an Oloroso Sherry, which chimed perfectly with the ingredients. As a centerpiece, the old spot pork belly with dauphinoise potatoes signaled something of a turn towards more traditional, familiar fare but the addition of poached rhubarb and a mustard cream

While the portions aren’t huge, they’re perfectly judged considering you’re having five courses. We still had two dessert courses to go and, even if we were feeling a little full, we weren’t going to skip them! First there was a superb Peanut Butter Brownie with salted caramel sauce and peanut butter ice cream, served with a lovely sherry. This was followed by a light Orange Marmalade Crème Brûlée accompanied by a Chenin Blanc – a perfect ending.

gave it a special lift. The pork belly itself was a perfectly cooked, juicy cut of meat accompanied by the requisite crackling and some excellent black pudding, and presented with a smooth New Zealand Pinot Noir. Oh – and if you think a tasting menu will be too scant quantity-wise to be truly satisfying, worry not!

We could also have had three cheeses with biscuits, figs, chutney, celery and grapes for a little extra but at this stage we really were full! A delightful evening of one dazzling dish after another that we can’t recommend highly enough. Profuse thanks and hearty congratulations to Laura. Dough Bistro, 293 Spen Lane, LS16 5BD.

Canal & River Trust OPAL’s Seeks Groups to Adopt Community Yorkshire’s Waterways Café The Canal & River Trust is urging communities across Yorkshire to play a part in looking after the waterways on their doorstep, by urging them to ‘adopt’ up to a one mile stretch of local canal.

OPAL has opened its Community Café at its new Welcome In Community Centre at 55 Bedford Drive, LS16 6DJ. The café is open Weds-Fri from 9am – 2pm serving hot and cold drinks, cooked breakfasts, lunches, and homemade cake. Open to everybody, the café is wheelchair accessible and has baby changing facilities and a playpen for small children.

he aim is to ensure that the region’s waterways – including the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, Aire & Calder Navigation, Calder & Hebble Navigation - continue to thrive and don’t fall back into the dereliction of the mid-20th century. Groups will work in partnership with the Trust to make their local waterway shine; anything from improving wildlife habitats and access for local people, to creating a linear veg-patch for the community. Each group will work at least one day a month for 12 months and agree the projects they want to prioritise to make their mile matter.

The Trust has published an online map that showcases existing adoption groups and areas that are available for people to support. For full details visit https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/ adopt-a-canal The Trust also has more informal volunteer opportunities including volunteer lock keeping and drop-in volunteering sessions so that anyone can get involved with caring for the waterways.

Meanwood Valley Urban Farm is looking for gardening volunteers. After a determined effort current volunteers have uncovered some of the ornamental plants and shrubs that had become hidden by overgrown vegetation. In addition, new planting is taking place to create a ‘hybrid’ garden where formality and nature merge, and where architectural and cultivated plants rub shoulders with herbs and wild flowers. A garden like this needs constant care and attention to ensure that the plants are at their best to attract as many bees, butterflies and birds as possible. If you have some gardening skills, can spare three or four hours a week on either a Tuesday or Friday, and would like to help with this project, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator on 0113 262 9759 or volunteer@mvuf.org.uk

Cookridge Scarecrow Festival a Resounding Success! ver the May Bank Holiday weekend Leeds Modernians held the third successive Cookridge Scarecrow Festival. The event was another outstanding success with some 35 residents, organisations and businesses taking part by making and hosting scarecrows in local gardens. Exhibits including Star Wars characters, Bertie Bassett, Bill and Ben, and a mad scientist, plus a number of

scarecrows made by children from Holy Trinity School and sited in the school grounds, and those by Cookridge Methodist Messy Church were on show outside the Church. The streets of Cookridge came alive with over 1,000 parents and children eagerly following the Scarecrow Trail spotting the exhibits and looking for clues before returning to Leeds Modernians Clubhouse for well earned refreshments, including cakes and ale! The event was also supported by Grace Community Church, Caring For Life, and local businesses including Animal Planet, Tesco, Gusto, NISA Cookridge, and Originals Hair Salon, Yeadon. The organisers would like to thank Yorkshire Music Education Service Band, Cookridge Fire Station and Leeds Ambulance Service for giving their time and for providing entertainment for everyone. It was a great day out for all the family, a resounding success, and plans are already underway for next year’s event.

“This was another fantastic event, and huge congratulations must go to the Leeds Modernians, and everyone involved in organising it, and those who took part”, said Greg Mulholland. “I look forward to next year’s event, and I just hope there isn’t a General Election on, so I can fully enjoy the event!”

BARRY ANDERSON

Adel & Wharfedale Ward Introduction of Bulky Household Waste Collection Service Charges To encourage recycling the Council has begun charging for the removal of unwanted bulky household waste such as TVs, sofas etc. and the charge has been set at £20.These can be reused or given to charity. There are a number of local organisations and charities that will take these items depending on their condition. A proportion of the income generated from

the charge will be used to increase the support of third sector re-use organisations in the city. Any household wanting to use this service will pay an upfront contribution of £20 each time they use it. Allowable collections will be increased from three to four per household per year. The waiting time for collection will be reduced to three weeks, and there will be better communication through texts/emails to confirm collections. All other aspects of the service will remain the same - i.e. maximum of four items per booking; rules about what can/ can’t be collected (incl. type of item, size/weight,

requirement to be kept dry); the days that wards have allocated for their collections; and being clear that items may be collected up to 48 hours after the planned collection date. Garden waste will continue to be collected through this service free of charge in those areas currently without a brown bin collection. A maximum of four bags of garden waste will be taken at each collection. Residents may be concerned that this could lead to increased fly tipping but other Councils who have introduced the scheme have seen no significant increase. Households can cancel a booking up to 48 hours before the due collection date and be fully refunded. After that no refunds will be given, including if items do not meet the required conditions upon collection.

Let’s talk Sports Stadiums! In Headingley we are lucky enough to have two, homes to cricket and rugby and the occasional music event. Both grounds are in need of investment so they can continue to be international venues. Yorkshire County Cricket Club and Leeds Rhinos have been looking for funds for a number of years. They looked to the Council, who, after looking at the situation every which way, felt it couldn’t provide direct grants or loans given the austerity imposed on the Council by the Government. Our priorities are frontline services after all. Thankfully help was at hand, the Leader of Council, Cllr Judith Blake, found a solution that will ensure Headingley continues to enjoy full international sporting status and which will deliver the funding to redevelop the stadiums in full.

hone the skills of budding triathletes looking to follow in the Brownlees’ footsteps, but is also to be open to the public, giving our community access to one of the best sports resources the country has to offer. The site complements nearby Sports Park Weetwood, which is also open to the community for hockey, cricket and football, amongst other sports that take place over its 100 acres. The track and pavilion are an addition to the activities that already take place on Bodington Fields, with the football and rugby matches continuing, as well as the running tracks used by both university athletes and members of the community. The Centre is encouraging people of all ages and abilities to use the new cycling track so why not incorporate it into your weekly workouts, or bring the family down to give it a go?

All three Headingley councillors had the pleasure of a meeting and a tour in the company of Bob Bowman, the Rhinos Foundation Chief Executive. We were really impressed by their work with local children, teenagers and disadvantaged groups. The Rhinos really do give a lot back to our community and have ambitious plans to do more.

Children’s Poetry Books Raise £1,000 for Barnardo’s arcellus Springer from Horsforth recently raised £1,000 for the charity Bardardo’s by writing two colourful books of poetry for children, illustrated by Justin Leeming. ‘There is a Mouse’ and ‘There is a Spider’ were written for Marc’s four grandchildren, who feature in both books, after he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease. Although Marc’s illness means his movement is restricted, he is able to write by moving his eye and focusing on a dot on his glasses, which allows him to operate a keyboard. “Our intention was only to produce a few books for family and friends, but it has snowballed”, said Anne Springer, Marc’s wife who had the books printed.

Secretary of State to Consider Approved Development Opposite Adel Parish Church he Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government is reviewing Leeds City Council’s approval of the outline planning application for the development of the land opposite Adel Parish Church. The application by Hallam Land seeks to provide up to 100 houses and a new school. The decision by the Plans Panel was fiercely opposed by Adel Neighbourhood Forum, local councillors, Greg Mulholland MP, and Historic England. Historic England was very clear in its objection that what was proposed

would harm the setting of the Grade1 listed Church, but this was minimised by Planning Officers and the Council’s Conservation Officer. It was particularly concerned that the land on the east side of the beck was to be used for the playing fields of the new school. This will require a 2.4 metre fence. The Council’s conservation officer said that it could be screened with hedging to suggest old field boundaries. Highways have decided against a traffic light controlled junction opposite Kingsley Drive to minimise delay on the A660 Otley Road, preferring to see the installation of a staggered junction. This

would be the only exit from the site. The Forum believes that there would be an increase in traffic on Church Lane to avoid the congestion on Otley Road. The Department for Communities and Local Government is now considering whether the Council’s decision is sound and whether it can be released back to the Council for implementation, or whether they should be invited to look at it again. We welcome the intervention by the Secretary of State and await the outcome.

The female is brown and its breast crescent is duller in colour. Perhaps the most important distinction from the Blackbird is the fact that the Ring Ouzel is a long distance migrant, wintering in

southern Spain and the Atlas mountains of North West Africa, and returning to the UK to breed in Spring. It breeds mainly in upland areas of northern and western Britain, such as the North York Moors, favouring areas

which include small crags, gullies or broken ground, and has been known to nest in old quarries. It is shyer than the Blackbird and easily disturbed, and its song is much less melodic, consisting of a phrase of a few notes, repeated at intervals. The Ring Ouzel population in the UK has declined significantly over the last 40 years, and it has retreated to the remotest uplands. The cause of this decline is not clear, but is thought to relate partly to the degradation of habitat in its wintering areas.

he Howard Assembly Room’s Summer programme is serving up some diverse, top flight musical delights in the coming months. Newcastle’s visionary avanttroubadour and raconteur Richard Dawson brings an unorthodox take on folk on 9th June – he’s joined by a full band for an airing of his latest album ‘Peasant’. The longest day of the year (21st June) is marked with a Solstice concert in association with South Asian Arts UK, beginning with a talk on Indian music, followed by performances on sitar, mridangam, tabla, and the otherworldly and rarely-heard vichitra veena, with Indian snacks served in the interval. On 27th July, some younger musical ambassadors, Nai Barghouti and Mohamed Najem and Friends, bring Sounds of Palestine to the Howard Assembly Room. Having stopped off at the Town Hall last year on the Palestine Youth Orchestra’s rapturously-received tour, singer and flautist Nai returns with her band of international musicians. Paris-based Mohamed Najem leads his group on clarinet and nay, and both ensembles move effortlessly between Arabic music and jazz in an exhilarating new musical language.

More top flight musical delights in the coming months

And, there is a very rare, intimate appearance from South African vocal legends Ladysmith Black Mambazo on 1st August, returning for the first time since they performed at the ceremony where Nelson Mandela received the Freedom of the City in 2001. Brought into the mainstream with their work on Paul Simon’s Graceland album, they were dubbed ‘South Africa’s cultural ambassadors’ by Mandela as their distinctive, uplifting sound broke through apartheid and onto international stages. Tickets for all events are available from 0844 848 2727 or online at howardassemblyroom.co.uk.

Alt-J – Smart, Savvy Pop Unafraid of Straying a Bit Leeds-formed band Alt-J’s third album builds on its particular brand of skewed folktronica-meets-chamberpop and intelligent indie with the odd banger thrown in for good measure.

‘Relaxer’ makes it clear that the band is not to be thought of as primarily a singles band, despite the attention-grabbing radio friendliness of previous tracks such as ‘Breezeblocks’, ‘Fitzpleasure’ and ‘Left Hand Free’. Of the album’s eight tracks only three clock in at under five minutes and generally the band seem to be in a more expansive, experimental yet sombre and subdued mood. Album opener 3WW sets a scene of atmospheric strangeness; all staggered rhythm, haunting, reverby guitar lines and unexpected vocal breaks leading to swelling strings, lush melody and delicate piano. The cracking single and album highlight ‘In Cold Blood’ sees Alt J playing to their strengths and indulging their penchant for drama and grandiosity. The stabby organ, drum rolls and binary-based vocal gives way to a brassy crescendo of a chorus with a horn section recalling John Barry’s bombastic Bond scores or, as has been noted elsewhere, the theme from Mastermind. Add to that some sing-along ‘la la las’ and the band’s signature air of sinister weirdness and you’ve got a pretty compulsive number on your hands. Further curveballs to be slung include a typically enigmatic take on ‘House of the Rising Sun’ with subtle orchestration transforming a familiar classic into something entirely different and quite beguiling. ‘Hit Me Like That Snare’ is an unashamedly retro psych-rock freakout pitched somewhere between the Monster Mash and the overwrought melodrama of a Hammer horror, which chugs along before collapsing into a confrontational, sweary outro. ‘Deadcrush’, like ‘In Cold Blood’, seems destined for heavy rotation on a 6-Music playlist and again highlights the band’s skill at hammering a tight groove. Seductively bass-heavy and featuring soulful falsettos, it has the sultry air of sideways glancing stealth raunchiness previously exhibited on tracks like ‘Tesselate’ and feels vaguely filthy in all the right ways. Overall, ‘Relaxer’ seems to be the band expressing its disparate elements in extremis; the gently pensive and reflective butting up against crowd pleasing party jams. It can sometimes make for an almost jarring shifting of gears, but it’s also that very unpredictability that makes Alt J a continually intriguing proposition. This is smart, savvy pop, which wears its idiosyncrasy on its sleeve and is unafraid of straying a bit out there.

REVIEW

ALIEN: COVENANT DIRECTED BY: RIDLEY SCOTT STARRING: KATHERINE WATERSON, MICHAEL FASSBENDER, BILLY CRUDUP, DANNY MCBRIDE

CERT: 15 RUNNING TIME: 122 MINS hen Ridley Scott announced that he was to return to the world of Alien, which he kicked off with the original in 1979, excitement and expectations were high amongst fans of the franchise. However, the resulting film, 2012’s Prometheus, left those same fans with a sense of betrayal for the bait and switch pulled by an incredible looking trailer for a film that made zero sense whatsoever. Scott’s handsome production design couldn’t quite compensate for Prometheus’ incomprehensible plot and strikingly daft characters. Well, I’m happy to report that Alien: Covenant is a marked improvement on its predecessor. For one thing, it’s certainly a great deal more Alien-y with a pleasing amount of actual xenomorph action, and it’s more committed in tone to the Sci-Fi/Horror elements that made the original Alien such a chillingly creepy and visceral experience. Covenant picks up the action ten years after the events of Prometheus with a colonization mission en route to a distant planet deemed suitable for human habitation. A minor mishap with tragic consequences on board the ship causes the crew to be woken prematurely and shortly thereafter they chance upon a transmission of human activity (the “activity” being a rendition of John Denver’s Country Roads) emanating

Returns to the Sci-Fi/ Horror elements that made the original Alien such a chillingly creepy and visceral experience

from a nearby planet which also seems to reside in the “Goldilocks zone” of atmospheric conditions that can support human life. And so, an ill-advised detour is made. Arriving on the planet, the Covenant crew find it boasts an abundance of exotic flora but a suspicious lack of fauna and disturbance of the local plant life causes a couple of crew members to become infected with a pathogen which quickly turns very nasty indeed. After the alien creatures have been unleashed, there follows a frenzied scramble for survival from which the crew are temporarily rescued by the android David (Michael Fassbender) who we last saw at the end of Prometheus jetting off with Dr Elizabeth Shaw in search of the “engineers’” home world. We know from the previous film that David is not entirely trustworthy and, in the years he’s been on his own the devil has found diabolical work for his idle hands. For those with an appreciation for the Alien films, Covenant delivers the hallmarks you’d expect; face-huggers, chest-bursting, full-fledged xenomorph picking off hapless victims in the time-honoured Friday the 13th in Space tradition. Yeah, characters still behave foolishly, but in films such as this you just have to let that stuff slide sometimes. As Daniels, Katherine Waterson steps into the action heroine role previously inhabited by Sigourney Weaver’s iconic Ripley and makes a pretty decent job of it. Billy Crudup’s Oram is the ship’s acting

As one would expect from Ridley Scott, the film is brilliantly shot and looks and sounds great. The pacing is well measured with slow, deliberate scene-setting building tension before all hell breaks loose. Not just a solid sequel but a film that slots into a wider, projected series of movies (Scott has at least a couple more in the pipeline) in a way that makes sense, with a twist ending nicely setting up the next instalment. If Prometheus was something of an intriguing but flawed misstep then Alien: Covenant represents a decisively confident course-correction; it feels like a franchise getting its groove back and remembering what it was all about in the first place.

executive officer, circumstances elevating him to a position of authority he’s clearly unfit for, and bolsters the actor’s CV of playing almost exclusively unlikable characters. The main cast standout here though is Fassbender who puts in sterling work in a double role of David and his newer model, upgraded counterpart, Walter.

Your Back Yard CIC supports communities in the north of England to make a difference to their neighbourhood through community-led regeneration, such as through improving parks and play areas. There will be interactive workshops on evaluation, planning and policy, case studies and inequalities. Attendees will be encouraged to share their own experiences and consider the importance of measuring the impact of their activities. The event will explore existing evidence, how sectors can work together to better demonstrate the case for investment, as well as discussing the value of green spaces and beginning to develop a local network.

Dr Eric Brymer, Reader in the Carnegie School of Sport at Leeds Beckett University, said: “More and more we are realising the importance of green space to human health and wellbeing. Leeds Beckett researchers are leading the field in trying to understand how best to design, facilitate and evaluate the health outcomes of nature-based activities. “Yorkshire has a lot to offer in this field and many organisations are doing wonderful work introducing people to the benefits of nature. This conference is a welcome and perfect opportunity to share ideas and learn from each other about evidence and practice.” The event is open to anyone within the voluntary, public or academic sectors with an interest in the influence of parks and green spaces on health and wellbeing.

Yorkshire Cancer Research to Hold New Patient Event in November People in Yorkshire affected by cancer will have an opportunity to share experiences and access a ‘toolkit’ of information at a new patient event, ‘Life with Cancer 2017’, organised by Yorkshire Cancer Research at Harrogate Convention Centre on Thursday, 16th November. he programme will include a wide selection of topics, from managing side effects to talking about cancer, mindfulness, and carer support. It will also cover lifestyle choices, including how these may impact on recurrence, and is dedicated to improving outcomes for patients. There are currently about 190,000 people in Yorkshire living with a cancer diagnosis, and this number is expected to reach as many as 295,000 by 2030. Cancer patients, their carers, families and friends are invited to attend and access expert advice from researchers and healthcare professionals. There will also be a chance to share experiences and learn from others, as well as practical sessions to help improve physical and mental wellbeing. “Being diagnosed with cancer is one of the hardest things a person will ever have to deal with”, said Dr Kathryn Scott, Interim Chief

Executive at Yorkshire Cancer Research. “From coming to terms with the initial shock of being told you have cancer, to making decisions about treatment and dealing with side effects, it’s an experience that will change a person’s life forever. “Beyond the medical care, so many other issues come along with a cancer diagnosis. We want people living with and beyond cancer to know that they are not alone, and to provide them with the best information and advice so that they feel better supported and go on to live long and healthy lives.” In 2015, Yorkshire Cancer Research announced a ten-year strategy to save 2,000 more lives in Yorkshire each year by 2025.

o cater for the growing need of childcare locally, Weetwood Primary School Nursery has expanded its facilities and will be offering 30 free hours of childcare from September 2017- in line with the new government scheme designed to help working parents with childcare costs – and expanding its provision from a 26 to a 39 place Nursery. Run by highly qualified staff, including Natasha Fisk, Foundation Stage Co-ordinator and Helen Davis, an experienced Nursery teacher, the Nursery has outstanding outdoor facilities and will be opening a new indoor movement area in September. It offers wrap around care (7:30am-6pm 48 weeks of the year) in its out-of-school club, and uses an online learning journey resource –an invaluable communication tool, allowing families to access observations from the Nursery at home at any time. “I am thrilled to be expanding our Nursery provision”, said Natasha Fisk. “Our new indoor movement area and excellent outdoor facilities will enhance the children’s motor skills and independence. The new facilities, including the outdoor space and pond area, library, out-of-school club, and new school hall, will immediately make

children feel part of the welcoming school community.” This is the second big building project the school has undertaken recently, following the school hall expansion, which doubled the size of the hall to accommodate the growing out-of-school club, enhance PE provision and provide the space for afterschool events. The hall is also used by community groups, local businesses, and the school Playscheme during the school holidays. An Ofsted inspection in January 2017 said: “Children in the early years get off to a flying start. Teachers and other adults provide exciting and engaging activities to help children develop their understanding of phonics. There is a wealth of opportunities for children to develop their writing and mark-making skills both inside and outside the classroom…” Callum Crawford, Extended Services Manager, said: “We are committed to continual growth. This is our first nursery project of many. Our aim is to ensure that we have a nursery environment where children always reach their full potential.” For further information, please contact Callum on 0113 3230450/ 07948 243725 or nursery@weetwoodprimary.co.uk

The kindergarten was established in 1999, but now needs to raise funds to allow it to move to a new location which will accommodate its expansion. It currently runs two kindergartens for children aged three to six and is planning to start a Class One for children aged six to seven. “Historically families from Leeds have had to move or commute to York in order to continue with Steiner education”, said Cath Thurlow, Early Years Coordinator. “The Class One starts at a good time as demand for primary education in Leeds is at a 15-year high. “At Beechtree our children grow in a secure and caring environment, surrounded by quality, natural toys and materials that allow them to develop physical and social skills along with creative and imaginative play that together form a wonderful foundation for life.” If you would like to help crowdfund the move,visit https:// mydonate.bt.com/charities/ beechtreesteinerinitiative For more information on Beechtree Steiner Initiative, go to www.leedssteiner.org.uk

Younger Life

Lost in Translation as Brexit Looms Learn to speak another language or risk isolation after Brexit. This is the stark warning from Sue Woodroofe, principal of The Grammar School at Leeds (GSAL), as young people continue to turn their backs on language learning. rs Woodroofe is calling on educators and the government to act now if the UK is to flourish on the international stage post-Brexit. Writing in the latest edition of Attain, a magazine for independent school parents, heads and teachers, she warns that the falling numbers of students learning a language has left the country exposed and facing an uncertain future in the world of business, diplomacy and security.

According to the British Council, just a quarter of adults can hold a basic conversation with someone in another language, and it is estimated that this inability to speak a second language costs the UK economy £48bn a year. “To get around this skills shortage we have relied on other EU nationals to plug the gap and act as our translators when it comes to negotiating deals, or expected everyone else to speak English”, said Mrs Woodroofe, who joined GSAL 18 months ago after ten years at the British School of Brussels. “However we can’t depend on this goodwill for ever and there is an urgent need for the government to re-think its policies on language learning if we are to survive outside of the EU.” Mrs Woodroofe believes that

Learning a language should also be about understanding and appreciating other cultures

education should challenge as well as teach, so learning a language should also be about understanding and appreciating other cultures, to build mutual understanding and cooperation. “This is what unites rather than divides us”, she said. “It is crucial that all of us get this message across to our children. If we don’t, we risk their view of life shrinking.” The numbers of pupils taking a foreign language at GCSE has dropped dramatically. In 1998, 85.5% of all candidates took a foreign language, but by 2015 numbers had fallen to 47.6%. Mrs Woodroofe believes that in the independent education sector, where languages have continued to be offered at all levels, students will be better placed than most to take advantage of the new opportunities that speaking someone else’s language offer. However, independent schools need to ensure that this is not just a privilege offered to the lucky few. “It’s beholden on all schools to encourage language learning and to share good practice”, she said.

Froebelian School Choir Performs with Aled Jones he Froebelian School Choir recently joined Aled Jones on stage at York Opera House, as part of his UK Tour. Hoping to discover new talent, a nationwide search was launched to find local choirs to join him at each of the five tour venues and The Froebelian Choir was chosen to perform in York. The Froebelian Choir, selected from their Year 5 and 6 pupils, entertains the school community during celebrations like The Spring Festival of the Arts, the Summer term musical production, and Carols Service, as well as being involved with the local community in performing for the elderly and at the Horsforth Christmas Lights Switch On. Because of their experience in being conducted regularly and singing in several parts, the choir was also used by Opera North to audition prospective conductors for their Children’s Choir.

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 Adel, Bramhope, Cookridge, Horsforth, Headingley, Meanwood, Weetwood & West Park 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!
