September sees the return of York Food & Drink Festival, an event that sees the labours of love of local farmers and producers devoured by all manner of foodies. We have also decided to shine the spotlight on a campaign of our own - Proudly - which captures the motivations and aspirations of York’s independent business community, one story at a time.

LICENCES GRANTED FOR FRACKING IN YORK Environmental organisation Greenpeace has revealed the locations of numerous sites throughout England and Wales where drilling licences have been issued for fracking testing. Several of the areas affected are in Yorkshire, including land lying between Easingwold and the north-west of York, as well as sites near Pickering, Danby, Malton, Scarborough, Helmsley and Pocklington. The process of fracking involves the blasting of highly pressurised liquid into small wellbores, drilled

deep into the earth. This creates hairline fractures in the ground through which trapped natural gases can escape - natural gases which may then be collected and used as fuel. Prime Minister David Cameron has resolutely backed fracking on the basis of its proven commercial potential. Local environmental groups meanwhile, are actively campaigning against the practice, pointing out evidence that fracking has several adverse effects, including air pollution and water contamination - for more information visit www.facebook.com/groups/Frack.Free.York

Along with celebrating local produce, the Food Festival aims to educate the public on the science behind our food, and will host events including the art of brewing and the importance of sustainability. Along with the University of York’s technology careers fair, this season guarantees that no matter your age or expertise, everyone can appreciate science.

28 days later JOIN THE NATION’S BIGGEST ANTI-SMOKING CAMPAIGN DURING ‘STOPTOBER’

Smoke and want to give up? Help is just around the corner! A NHS quit drive, which runs throughout October, aims to encourage thousands of Britain’s eight million smokers to kick the habit. Research suggests that people who successfully give up for 28 days are 5 times more likely to kick the habit, so smokers who sign up will be given support and encouragement throughout the month.

Visual by Jordan McCullough

It also goes without saying that putting on a united front and trying to stop together can give your willpower an added boost. More than a quarter of a million people pledged to stub out their last cigarette during the “Stoptober” anti-smoking campaign. According to the Department of Health, smoking is the biggest cause of premature death in England and accounts for over 100,000 deaths in the UK each year.

CITY OF YORK COUNCIL

The “Out of sight, out of mind” tactic of hiding cigarettes displays in supermarkets is unlikely to be much of a deterrent for those already addicted. Instead you are said to be up to four times more likely to quit and stay smokefree if you use the expert, friendly and tailored support of the NHS Stop Smoking Service. That’s why NHS North Yorkshire and York Stop Smoking Service are keen to get as many people as possible attending their new Stop Smoking sessions at City of York CounKQT¼[ ?M[\ 7NÅKM[ Open to all, the weekly sessions will run from Tuesday 1 October (4.30pm to 6.30pm) - bookable on 0300 303 1603. In the meantime, plenty of moral support can be found online at www.smokefree.nhs.uk/stoptober, where you can also pick up a free Quit Kit. PROMOTIONAL

Be part of the challenge Stoptober is back. All over the country people will take the 28 day challenge to stop smoking during October. Last year over 160,000 people successfully quit smoking for Stoptober, thanks to the wide range of quitting support on offer. For more information search â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Stoptoberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; online or visit www.smokefree.nhs.uk/stoptober Alternatively, speak to your local stop smoking service or pharmacist.

Helped by Snake and Sue Williamson, music teacher at Burnholme Community College, plus newly graduated Leeds College of Music students Declan Forde Will Howard, Angus Milne and Matt Parkinson - the newly formed band will be on a project to learn some of Snake’s material, jazz pop and soul standards and also have written their own songs.

community, jazz and the snake Not often does an opportunity come along for young musicians to play with someone as reputable as Snake Davis.

As part of a six-week project 50 students, a mixture of instrumentalists, singers and dancers will come together to make the Snake Davies Band for a special live showcase at the National Centre For Early Music on Walmgate.

Williamson emphasises the variety of musicianship, saying “The skill level varies enormously, from pupils who are used to playing in groups and performing in public, to beginners. There is a place for all pupils regardless of prior skill level. Thus emphasising that a project such as this will create so many opportunities for those involved.

What sets this piece aside from other theatre we have seen before is not the fact it is outdoors but the fact that every single night the production will alter, people’s reactions; unaware of what to expect, will determine the experience they are having. Gooch describes the feeling of expectation, the feeling of wandering eyes that will fall upon random street scenes, assuming them to be part of the production.

stepping into a film set Let’s try and set the scene. You are standing, slightly bewildered, unknowing of what to expect alongside another 180 people wearing headsets.

Although you will be standing in a part of town you have no doubt been to before, with the aid of sound you will soon become immersed into another world. With a cast of over 200, this production will offer audiences theatre on an epic, cinematic scale.

The scale of the stage is just under a mile long and the audio soundscapes mean that someone could be on top of the Minster, whispering and you’d hear them right in you ear - as if they were stood next to you. Gooch explains that “The combination of Slung Low’s experience of outdoor theatre using their headphone technology and Pilot’s unique use of audiovisuals is very exciting.”

Cheese and Bread making, Brewing, Salting and Smoking were practiced in the ancient world; the Victorians introduced chemicals to raise cakes and discovered the importance of bacterial spoilage. In 21st Century York food and science continue to go hand in hand with the work of the Food and Environment Research Agency (FERA) and Nestlés Product Technology Centre. This year the Food & Drink Festival celebrates this diverse relationship.

There is also a Leeds zine fair, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a celebration of zines and self publishingâ&#x20AC;?, which takes place every November in the city centre.

You may know what zines are. Or you may have never heard of them. As independent record labels attempt to curb the dominance of large corporate labels, producing music that would otherwise be unavailable to the public, the humble zine maker attempts to forge a place for their musings in the mass of printed text. Phoebe Rilot explores the love of Zines and why print is far from dead. Zines (an abbreviation of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fanzineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) form the backbone of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;alternative pressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, a movement that can be traced back through to the subversive pamphleteering which has fuelled revolutions throughout the ages. They became popular during the punk movement of the 70s, when the easy availability and low cost of printing meant that anyone could, theoretically, become their own publisher. Often featuring anti- establishment, anarchist, feminist, sexualised or political content that had no place in the mass media, zines helped to crystallize the tone of certain movements - punk, ZQW\ OZZT [KQ Ă&#x2026; NIVLWU IVL KIZZa \PMQZ UM[[IOM

Both stock York based singersongwriter Mark Wynnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s various zines, including the one he made as a sleeve to his last album. Wanting to feature poems in the sleeve originally Wynn ended up with a zine, and decided that it worked best that way:

Although naysayers would claim that the rise of the internet in the last 15 years has shifted the zineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s content online, there will always be a certain romantic association with the creation of something physical that ensures new generations seek out old zines and make their own new ones.

He added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also love scissors and making a messâ&#x20AC;?. Wynn takes as many copies as he can carry on tour with him and will spend his downtime in the day handing them out in local shops; â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also leave them on the tables at the gigs I do, which can be quite amusing when you hear people tearing it apart in very close proximity...â&#x20AC;?.

The resurgence of popularity in hand-made goods also means that there’s a place for zines online on sites such as Etsy, a source that local illustrator and zine-producer Jamie Mills chooses zines to make his work accessible worldwide. His illustrations, including the cover of this current issue, are analytical works looking at nature and human interaction, telling stories and cycles in vaguely abstract manner using simply pencil.

Or something. The desk had arrived early that morning atop a Volvo 240 wagon. Too big for the boot, it was precariously strapped down with polyester washing line that was visibly frayed at points. Even before I helped the owner lift it down off his car, I could see it was an old Victorian school desk, as would anyone else with two eyes (or one eye for that matter). The phrase ‘they don’t make them like they used to’ seems pertinent, but why bother stating the obvious? The desk was a beautiful shade of pine with a black cast iron frame that dipped like a rollercoaster before rising to support the adjoining seat. <PM _WWL ÅVQ[P PIL XITML IVL XMMTML QV XTIKM[# long exposure to sunlight and schoolboy spillages to blame. The iron was rusted and generally dirty. A powdery white line caught my eye on the outside of the left leg - paint marks from poor navigation skills getting it out of the house. The desk’s owner, watching me as I gave it the once over, saw I’d noticed the blemish. He knew what I was imagining - his wife scolding him for leaving a gash in some wall, the vehement denial and subsequent IZO]UMV\ <PM Æ][\MZML TWWS QV PQ[ MaM[ KWVÅZUML my suspicions. He sniffed and scratched his ear, and then business began: “How much work will it need?” “Not much,” I replied. “It’s mostly surface damage and natural deterioration. The inkwell needs a clean and the hinges have seen better days, but nothing too serious.” I closed my eyes and felt my way along the length of the desk once again, reading the intermittent grooves like braille. “It’s from the Minster School,” he said. “We took this one off their hands when they had a clear out in the late nineties. Been meaning to get it restored for donkey’s years.” I didn’t answer. Sensing I was dangerously close to making my customer uncomfortable, I reopened my eyes and smiled. “I should have it in good nick by Friday,” I said. We shook hands. His was softer than mine. He got in his Volvo. He turned left, heading for Fulford. I pictured him arriving home, reluctantly relaying

our brief interaction to his wife, word for word. What did he mean by ‘should have’, Richard? Will it be ready on Friday or not? I never fully examine items until the customer is gone (I consider it a private affair), but I knew it wouldn’t be a huge project. After twelve years as a carpenter, you can tell these things. “Jesus was a carpenter,” my father once told me. “Good profession for a lad,” he said. Harrison Ford was a carpenter once too. Fame and religion don’t come into it for me though: I just like making furniture. My father is dead now. I slotted myself into the pupil’s seat.

Like Pandora’s Box, but without all that evil. Mindless doodles, detailed portraits, phone numbers, jokes, names, crudely drawn phalluses. On rare occasions, you might discover an unsymmetrical heart framed by two names: John loves Sharon. A map of memories, insights... a schoolboy armed with a compass can do wonderful things.

It fell perfectly into the scrap of paper. I wondered what the schoolboy who had put it there was doing now. Maybe he was married, or a painter, or a banker. Maybe years ago, somewhere in York, on another ancient school desk, he declared his love for a long-forgotten childhood sweetheart with a crudely drawn heart. Or something.

Historically, artisans were the tailors, shoemakers, weavers, stonemasons and carpenters of the world, an invaluable credit to their community, sought after feverishly by the townspeople. The modern artisan is equally revered. Here in York, we are blessed with a plethora of folk who ply their craft. Myriad trades pepper their vast knowledge and unending innovation.

It’s very impressive, and even has a name ‘Junkcycling.’ The books that complement the products document the method of building the items for children of all ages, and include extras like stickers and plans, to further the experience and encourage the growth of ‘creative recycling’.

A company that has been at the forefront of ‘Design Thinking’ in the last few years is IDEO. Founded in 1991 as a simple, albeit incredibly successful product LM[QOV KWUXIVa \PMa PMTXML LM[QOV )XXTM¼[ ÅZ[\ mouse), IDEO have moved into designing all aspects of life, especially those that often lack a human touch. Their work is often for governments and large corporations, attempting to make their interactions with the public as enjoyable and relatable as possible. An example of this is IDEO’s recent work for the Singapore government, where they redesigned their work permit application system. Governments often prioritise bureaucracy over the ease of actually using the service, forgetting the human element inherent to their potential success. Companies like IDEO can help in this respect, as part of their process is to fully immerse themselves

in the consumer experience. As well as conducting detailed interviews with consumers, IDEO consults people from a vast array of professions in order to acquire an experiential account that is as unique as it is thorough. In the words of IDEO’s charismatic CEO Tim Brown, design thinking is “a discipline that uses the designer’s sensibility and methods to match people’s needs with what is technologically feasible”. York itself is a hot-bed for such humancentric design. Internationally-renowned The Beautiful Meme is ostensibly a branding agency, but Creative Director Tom Sharp states that the company is involved

in “problem solving” and that creating a brand often involves “articulating and enacting change within an organisation”, a process akin to “business therapy”, that takes into account the experiences of individuals both inside and outside of the organisation. Mat Lazenby of LazenbyBrown believes that their work as a design company is about “lifting corporate facades” and making the interactions between companies and their customers “as human as possible”.

little fest to make big impressions in rural yorkshire THIS SEPTEMBER, YOU MAY NOTICE SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT OUR NEIGHBOURING TOWNS AS EASINGWOLD, POCKLINGTON, SELBY AND HELMSLEY HOLD THEIR OWN WEEKEND ART FESTIVALS.

Part of a 2.5 year long project spearheaded by the team behind On Our Turf and supported by York Theatre Royal, the Little Fests will take place on each successive weekend throughout the month.

We’ve basically combined the ethos of both of these things to form Little Fest 2013.”

“Our aim is to help the outlying towns produce events, festivals, art and performance”, explains Alex Wright, Associate Artist and project leader. “We are working with each town’s art community centre and forging amazing creative relationships to generate performances they can be proud of.”

The unexpected, that’s what you can expect: “There is no precedent for Little Fest so we’re feeling our way to some extent. But that also makes it exciting,” says Alex. “Each town will hold its own Little Fest and share performances from artists ranging from [QVOMZ[ IK\WZ[ U][QKQIV[ XPW\WOZIXPMZ[ IVL ÅVM artists. They’ll perform in and around the town, so expect them to pop up everywhere from the local pub to the hairdressers!”

So, what can you expect at Little Fest?

On Our Turf was borne out of two initiatives: the creativity of the 1,700 people from all across Yorkshire who worked together to make the York Mystery Plays a roaring success in 2012 and the original Little Festival of Everything. The latter is a small arts festival focused on a pub in Coxwold.

All you need to do to be a part of this into get yourself to one of the venue towns on the day and look for the Little Fest branded double decker bus. This is the central focus and will guide you through each Little Fest and show you what’s on and where. For more info check out onourturf.co.uk or email Alex at alex. wright@yorktheatreroyal.co.uk. On twitter? Search #onourturf.

“The Mystery Plays helped us create some amazing creative relationships with people from outlying towns and we wanted to continue to work with them in their own communities,” says Alex. “Statistics show that our audience decreases when they have to travel around an hour to get to the Theatre and these four towns are around an hour away.

And after Little Fest is over? It very much doesn’t stop there. Each town’s arts centre will be given a grant with which they can commission anyone nationally, whether that’s a writer, producer or cast members, to work with the community to stage a PQOP XZWÅTM XQMKM WN IZ\ _PQKP \PMa _QTT \W]Z ZW]VL the other three towns.

“We know how successful local arts festivals can be from the huge success of The Little Festival of Everything, that has attracted national acts and audiences of around 1,000 people.

test drive CITY OF YORK COUNCIL IS OFFERING YOUNG DRIVERS FREE PLACES [WORTH £40] ON THE MOMENTUM COURSE FROM THE INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED MOTORISTS.

Young drivers take note: one hour behind the wheel on this free course can make you a better driver.

Sadly, young drivers are 3 times more likely to be involved in a road accident than an older driver.

City of York Council is offering free places (worth £40) on the Momentum course from the Institute of Advanced Motorists. It’s aimed at drivers aged 17-26, who live or work in York and have already passed their basic driving test. There is no exam, and no risk of failure, instead the test consists of two modules: an interactive online assessment and an on-road session with an IAM examiner.

The Momentum course allows you to be indepenLMV\Ta I[[M[[ML Ja I Y]ITQÅML IAM instructor over an hour and then provided with tips and advice on how to improve your technique in the driving seat and be safer on the road. Find the Momentum registration form at: www.itravelyork.info

what was the scheme like and what did it involve?

how did it help your driving skills?

who would you recommend Momentum to?

I wanted to improve my driving and iron out the bad habits I’d picked up.

It was surprisingly very enjoyable. I drove for an hour with an instructor who then took me through the good, bad, and the ugly of my driving.

My poor clutch control and heavy handedness with the gear stick have long gone! It also helped me concentrate whilst driving to make myself a more aware and safer driver.

Anyone, not just people my age.

...producing bold and adventurous theatre very dull place to be. The creative laboratory operates on the basis of getting the right mix of people in the room and working at it. Most people shy away from creative decisions.”

Pilot Theatre is the award-winning National Touring Theatre Company currently in residence at York Theatre Royal. Pilot’s long-serving Artistic Director Marcus Romer started his working life as a dentist. Presumably ÅVLQVO \PM M`XMZQMVKM \W JM [WUM_PI\ ISQV \W X]TTing teeth, Marcus downed tools in the late eighties, launching a new career as a touring actor. It was this new career path which would lead him to his current role with Pilot Theatre in the early nineties.

It’s a bold and adventurous approach, and one which has reaped dividends on numerous occasions in the form of a slew of successful projects. Pilot Theatre’s next major production Blood & Chocolate is typically ambitious – performances will see a cast of hundreds acting on the streets of York to equally vast audiences equipped with audio headsets. For one thing, this will be a vast logistical effort. It is also likely to be a great thing for the company and a great thing for the city - the two of which are closely linked...

Marcus explains the creative ethos which has come to lie at the heart of Pilot Theatre’s activities: “We believe that creative thinking and innovation are not just in the sciences. Pilot Theatre’s approach is as a laboratory to experiment with words and visual images where you’re exploring and not afraid to NIQT ?M \PZW_ QLMI[ QV\W I UM\IXPWZQKIT [QM^M Æ][P through the ideas and examine the ones left at the end. We join the creative inputs of different disciplines and aim to push the boundaries as a collision of arts and science.

“We’re passionate about York. I like working in the city, there’s an amazing aspiration....it used to run the railway network and the Roman Empire as well as being part of a network around the world. York has always boxed outside its weight. It’s a humansized city, it’s not a sprawling megalopolis. There are creatively playful stories in the DNA of the city.” And who is better placed than Pilot Theatre to recite these stories for a new audience?

...feeding the piglet in all of us If you love good food, you’ll adore Pig & Pastry on Bishopthorpe Road. Every bit as charming as its surroundings, the small but perfectly-formed café-come-deli has been serving up \I[\a KWNNMM KISM T]VKP IVL JZ]VKP NWZ Å^M aMIZ[ VW_

“We are incredibly lucky with our location, we PI^M TWKIT[ IVL _M LW OM\ [WUM \ZINÅK NZWU \PM town. We see tourists and shoppers alike (in the café)”.

Run by Julia and Steve Holding, they pride themselves on using only the freshest local produce, and as Julia is quick to point out, “we bake everything here ourselves”.

Pig & Pastry has become revered for its fabulous breakfast and lunch menu. Its brunch options in particular are rather delightful (scrambled eggs with chorizo, anyone?) and cleverly served until 3pm. Breakfast options in York beyond midday are few and far between, even on a Saturday. It is evident that Pig & Pastry are onto something special, as you will have to squeeze in for a seat on the weekend. The name ‘Pig & Pastry’ is certainly memorable. Julia explains that originally the couple decided on ‘The Ginger Pig’, before discovering a café already existing under that name. The name evolved with the idea of what the café would be: “we wanted it to evoke the charcuterie/deli part of the café, hence the ‘pig’”, explains Julia. When they decided to place an emphasis on fresh food and coffee, they threw ideas around and ended up at ‘Pig & Pastry’. “It’s important to us that it’s memorable. People don’t always like it, but they remember it.”

Steve, who hails from York, earned his stripes working in restaurants in London for several years. With the couple deciding to move back up north a decade ago, the lure of setting up on their own became too great to resist. “We felt like this was missing”, explains Julia. “We felt that the demand was there for an eatery on Bishopthorpe Road.” Having lived close to Bishopthorpe Road since they returned to York, Julia and Steve clearly knew the area, and were quick off the mark when they saw their current space become empty. Having been on the hunt for a couple of years they knew that this was an opportunity not to be missed.

Part of the wider RSA Incredible Yorkshire network, they are building activity around food growing, education and enterprise, and involving the community to help create solutions to the social and economic challenges that affect today’s society.

THE GROWING INITIATIVE

edible york the city to create something that will make for a sustainable future. To some, the concept of ‘free food’ may seem outrageous. However, all produce is readily available for community consumption. Edible York’s urban harvesting group, Abundance, also ensures that nothing is left to waste, and all untouched food is mapped and redistributed. Thus, the project shares its rewards and donates to an array of worthy causes, including the city’s homeless shelters and children’s centres.

Working with TIM to create the Incredible Party, Edible York is a community generated organisation that has brought people closer to the food they eat and the land that produces it. Founded in 2009, Edible York was inspired by the sweep of local food and urban agriculture projects that had grown in the UK. Over the last four years, they have worked to change people’s attitudes to city living, and have encouraged them to think differently about economy and consumption. From the city centre’s edible beds, which show people the possibilities of urban gardening, to the planting of 199 bountiful trees throughout York, the team aim to inspire and assist communities in the transformation of previously unloved spaces. Edible York have also introduced food [MTN []NÅKQMVKa I[ IV ML]KI\QWVIT IK\Q^Q\a IVL York Edible Schools continue to encourage

Fran Smith is a Leeds based singer-songwriter whose powerful voice and baroque production style has led her to be comparable to Anthony Hegarty and Joanna Newsom.

Both stalwarts of the American alt-country scene, which involves the likes of Wilco and Sufjan Stevens, Eef Barzelay and Chris Otepka are singer-songwriters who perform under the misleadingly band-like names, Clem Snide and Heligoats respectively.
