Still hanging around BACK WITH A NEW ALBUM AND TOUR, THE STRANGLERS ARE STILL AS RELEVANT AS EVER. JULES BOYLE SPOKE TO JEAN-JAQUES BURNELL AND DAVE GREENFIELD. 12 Eastside | www.eastsidemag.co.uk

013 ESide Feb22 21/01/2022 11:45 Page 1

t’s not often a band produces one of the finest albums of their career 44 years after their first hit, but The Stranglers have always been a unique proposition. Rising from the UK punk scene of the mid-70s, the band quickly established themselves as their own thing, due in no small part to the melodic basslines conjured by founding member Jean-Jaques Burnell as well as Dave Greenfield’s singular and baroque keyboard sound.

Now, nearly five full decades after their formation, the band - Jean-Jacques Burnel, Baz Warne and Jim Macaulay are heading back on the road to support Dark Matter, their 18th studio album that saw them achieve one of the highest chart placings ever, proving that even after all this time, they’re still as relevant and essential as ever. That success has been bittersweet though, with the tragic passing of Greenfield during the recording of the record last year. They very nearly finally called it a day as a result, but instead pushed on to finish what has become both a tribute and an epitaph to their fallen brother.

I

This is the first Stranglers album made remotely, how did that work?

How much of the album does Dave feature on?

Baz: We had worked on eight of the tracks in various stages with Dave, but it soon became apparent we hadn’t got everything out of him that we needed, so the keyboards were augmented, as everybody knows, but the essence of what you hear, especially the very strong lead lines, that’s all Dave.

It took a good two or three months before we could contemplate doing anything though, to be quite honest. It was an awful time, but once we started listening back to what we had already done though, it was quite obvious that it had to see the light of day. He played some fantastic stuff on those tracks and it’s also both a testament to him and an epitaph too.

A lot of people have said and it’s something we agree with, that the album is also a really strong collection of songs in their own right as well. That’s another thing to be proud of for us. We came out the other side and yeah, there are a few little sentimental bits on there, but so what? F*cking shoot us. We had to express it and get it out somehow.

We have this hard men reputation for whatever reason, but that’s how we expressed our emotions and we’re very pleased with it. It’s a very bittersweet thing, though. A lot of people have suffered great loss during the pandemic, so that was just our own way of dealing with it.”

JJ: When you’ve been involved with someone for over 45 years, it’s a huge loss, not only as a working colleague, but as a member of the family. The f*cker even actually lived in my house for over nine months at one point, until I told him he could find his own place. He honestly hadn’t thought of that, so was like ‘yeah, okay.’

>

Baz: We had started off with ten days in a studio together back in early 2019 but spent the rest of that year touring around the world, so never had the time to continue it. Then of course, Covid hit and horrifically we lost our beloved compadre and keyboard player, Dave Greenfield.

We really didn’t know what we were going to do, but it became apparent that we should finish the album at the very least. That threw up a lot of questions on the technicalities of how we would do it, but we all have studios in our houses, so the engineer coached us through it and of course we had the luxury of time, with no constraints or deadlines.

We worked diligently on it, but it wasn’t easy not being in the same place as each other, so that it came out as well as it did is a testament to how much of a team effort it was. We were united in our

grief, but there was a freedom there with the lack of deadlines.”

THE DIARY

Dave was on the autistic spectrum, which some people really struggle with, and others thrive on. He was one of the latter, but he also didn’t have any filters, so he wouldn’t realise that you were falling asleep when he was taking an hour to answer a simple question!

Baz: Dave looms large over the whole album, as he always did. He was a huge part of what people would class as The Stranglers’ trademark sound, both him and JJ, so to lose one half of that was very difficult, but his presence very much looms large still. I’ve got pictures of him down in the basement where my studio is and I see him and hear him every day, one way or another. We’ve all agreed that he would have been very proud of it, too. We know he would, as we knew him extremely well.

Can you tell us more about the tracks that were written after Dave’s passing?

Was it a cathartic experience for you to pay tribute to him in that way?

Baz: Well there’s And If You Should See Dave… obviously, but there’s also the one after it, If Something’s Gonna Kill Me (It Might As Well Be Love), which starts with the line ‘Innocence has left this house’, which is a direct reference to him. It’s no secret that Dave had Asperger’s, which made him a true English eccentric in every sense of the word, but it also gave him a wide-eyed, innocent view of a lot of things. There’s references to him peppered all over the album actually, but those two in particular are very specifically about him.

It was a very cathartic experience, but it didn’t feel like that at the start. It was more like ‘oh no, I don’t know how I can even face this, never mind do it’, which was really hard to get past. There are a couple of tracks that were quite close to completion when we lost him, so when I first listened to them after that, particularly The Last Men On The Moon, it was really difficult for me to listen to. I got myself all geared up for it and I just couldn’t do it. I had to go back to it a few weeks later.

A loss like that could only be devastating for everyone, was there any thought to calling it a day at any point?

JJ: There’s been lots of times over the years I thought we had reached the end of The Stranglers, where I never had a thought to carry on, like when Hugh left or when Jet’s health was starting to fail.

Both of those times, it was Jet who said ‘no, we carry on’ and when he couldn’t 14 Eastside | www.eastsidemag.co.uk

play drums anymore, he was the one who said ‘I’ve got just the bloke for you.’

When Dave broke on through to the other side, after the initial shock, all we wanted to do was finish the project, but with no plans for touring it or anything more.That was our only priority. But then our agent called to say that we were selling more tickets, so we realised that a lot of people still wanted to see us.

Dave being Dave, had inspired so many musicians to study him and I had actually played with one of those disciples in the studio about 20 years ago, so we auditioned him over Zoom and then he met up with the rest of the band in person. His playing wasn’t in question, but he had to fit with the band and get on with everyone too, which I’m pleased to say he did brilliantly.

Dave has left the biggest shoes to fill, but we know now that we have the guy to step in.We can never replace him and wouldn’t want to, but he’s left a legacy which can now be followed.

yourselves to create new music?

The Stranglers could easily settle for being a heritage act, but instead you have a top five album. How important is it for you to keep challenging

The Stranglers play O2 Academy, Leeds on 12 February and Sheffield City Hall on 24 February. For full tour details and more information visit www.thestranglers.co.uk

Baz: The one thing we are adamant about is that we’ll never become a heritage act. I’m not knocking anyone who does it as people have a living to make and if there’s a market for it, f*cking go for it, but we write new material and we still have something to say.

I think people want that too, as Dark Matter went Top 5, which is the first time a Stranglers album has done that in nearly 40 years. There were a few champagne corks going off in my house the night we got that news.

We are still very much in contact with Pam Greenfield, Dave’s widow too of course, so there were some emotional phone calls too. It’s a cliche, but The Stranglers are a family.

We fight, we argue but there’s a deep bond and love there, so no matter what, we get through it, because that’s what families do.

Bouncing back WITH TRAVEL BACK ON THE AGENDA, CHOOSE A SMALL, INDEPENDENT TRAVEL AGENT THAT PRIDES ITSELF ON PERSONAL SERVICE AND PEACE OF MIND. s 2022 the year that travel bounces back in a big way?

Small World Travel thinks so and are on hand to help you book that dream holiday, whether that’s in a far-flung destination or much closer to home.

Established in 1985, Small World Travel is a Tickhill-based family business that specialises in luxury holidays and bespoke itineraries, as well as everything in between.

The last two years has thrown up all sorts of challenges for the travel agency, but is something they have risen to commendably. They pride themselves on their personal service and the relationships they have with their customers. As an ABTA-bonded travel agent, Small World Travel offers complete peace of mind too so you can rest assured that you will be completely looked after whatever may occur.

Indeed, whilst the UK may be ahead in coming out of the pandemic, many countries still lag behind and Paul and his team can make sure you’re completely up to date before you book and travel.

“The constantly shifting sands has meant we have had to learn quickly – we’re experts on foreign office policy now!” laughed Paul Rhodes. “We’ve tried to take the hassle out of it, making

I

it easier and more stress-free for our customers.

“But whilst this latest news [about the lifting of restrictions] is what we’ve been waiting for, there are still many challenges ahead.”

Flexibility has been the key to keeping customers happy, whether that’s been by getting them home, moving bookings or cancelling them altogether.

“They’re at the heart of everything we do,” said Paul. “We want our customers to have the best experience possible so make sure they have all the relevant information before they travel and remain on call 24/7 should any problems occur whilst they’re out of country.”

Paul has seen a shift towards more short-term planning in recent months, with travellers only looking two or three months ahead, sometimes even less, before travelling. But with a more

positive outlook, he expects customers to start planning further into the future and taking advantage of the attractive offers that are out there.

So where should Small World Travel’s customers be looking to book for?

“I’m of the opinion that it may be best to play it safe in the spring, maybe look at countries around Europe, but come the summer and autumn you should be able to focus further afield,” offered Paul.

One continent that Paul is eager to return to is Africa, although it looks like he may have to wait a little longer.

“Pre-Covid I was fortunate enough to go gorilla trekking in Uganda, which was just amazing,” he said. “I love holidays that offer an immersive experience and Africa offers this in spades.”

Whatever your plans for travel this year, choose a small, independent travel agent that prides itself on personal service and peace of mind.With a track record of expertise, knowledge and flexibility, Small World Travel takes some beating.

Capital gains WITH HISTORY, TOP ATTRACTIONS AND BEAUTIFUL ARCHITECTURE, EDINBURGH IS HARD TO BEAT.

hilst the temptation to visit farflung shores has returned, the UK still holds plenty of charm for the casual traveller, particularly if you’re looking for a short break to entertain friends or family. With an abundance of history, top quality attractions and beautiful architecture, Edinburgh takes some beating. I took the whole family north of the border for a few days and loved every minute of it.

I’d visited the Scottish capital before but purely for work purposes so was intrigued as to what the city had to offer from a leisure perspective. In short, it had everything.

W

18 Eastside | www.eastsidemag.co.uk

If you’ve never visited before, Edinburgh is essentially a city of two halves (and much more besides). On one side you’ve got the medieval old town, which is characterised by its centuriesold buildings and narrow alleyways. At its heart, perched on an extinct volcano, is Edinburgh Castle. In the elegant New Town, Georgian townhouses line the broad avenues and open squares whilst shoppers hit chain stores on Princes Street and upscale boutiques on and around George Street.

We’d picked the perfect base for our two-night stay. The Adagio Aparthotel Edinburgh Royal Mile was located in the

old town part of the city and just a tenminute walk from Waverley train station.

The Royal Mile is one of the main thoroughfares in the city and connects the castle with the Palace of Holyroodhouse, which rests in the shadow of Arthur’s Seat. It is overlooked by impressive, towering tenement buildings and is home to many of the city’s main attractions as well as an abundance of souvenir shops, pubs and restaurants.

The Adagio sits at the lower end of the Royal Mile and is a four-star residence offering 146 furnished apartments and studios fitted with a

TRAVEL

fully-equipped kitchen. The rooms are perfect for those looking for a bit more space and flexibility, particularly if you’re staying for a much longer period. The aparthotel’s services includes access to a fitness room and private car park and breakfast is served in the cafeteria every morning (supplementary charge).

We stayed in a one-bedroom

ABOVE: The Royal Mile LEFT & BELOW: See the giant pandas and Sumatran tigers at Edinburgh Zoo

apartment for four people which had a bedroom with a double bed and a twin sofa bed which gave us more than enough space to relax. We didn’t take advantage of the kitchen during our short stay but can see the attraction for those staying longer - whilst there are plenty of food options close by, eating out can get expensive.

We started our exploring on the old town side, heading up to the castle before turning down through the Grassmarket and up to the National Museum of Scotland. This free-to-enter museum is the UK’s most popular attraction outside of London and is worth visiting for the light-filled atrium of the Grand Gallery alone. Exhibitions cover Art, Design and Fashion, Natural World, Science and Technology, and Scottish History and Archaeology, the latter of which is housed in a modern extension to the building. Here there’s also a fabulous roof terrace with fantastic views of the city.

Top of the agenda for my children was a visit to Edinburgh Zoo, which we travelled to by bus. It took about 20 minutes and an all-day family ticket (£9.50) offered great value for money.

The zoo is set in over 82 acres of wooded hillside and is home to over 2,500 animals including the giant pandas Yang Guang and Tian Tian - the only ones in the UK. Both are housed in their own enclosures with large outdoor areas that have lots of trees, large wooden climbing frames and pond for them to explore. Unfortunately they were both sleeping during our visit but they were impressive all the same.

Also at Edinburgh Zoo you’ll find

Tiger Tracks, a new enclosure which houses their Sumatran tigers and gives you the perfect opportunity to get up close to these magnificent beasts. The koalas Goonaroo, Tanami, Kalari, Inala and Dameeli are also housed in their own space and were hugely popular with my two children too. We also loved the penguins, pygmy hippos and giraffes.

The zoo is easy to navigate and there are plenty of food options at the Grasslands Restaurant or Jungle Cafe.

Plentiful picnic areas mean you can take in your own snacks too.

Getting the bus back into the centre of Edinburgh gave us the opportunity to explore the new town’s shopping areas which has recently been enhanced by the addition of the St James Quarter, home

to 80 retailers and 30 restaurants.

Food-wise we stumbled across a couple of independent gems that we enjoyed so much we actually visited twice. Civerinos has three ‘slice’ venues in the city as well as a main restaurant and serves New York-style pizza that was some of the best we have tasted. We visited one of their slice restaurants on Forrest Road, close to the National Museum of Scotland, for huge slices (starting from £4) of pepperoni and margherita pizza washed down with ice cold cans of San Pellegrino. It was simple but tasty.

Just down the road from Civerinos is Alandas Gelato which opened in the autumn and use Scottish cream and milk to make their Italian-style ice cream.

Served in a cup or a cone, it was delicious.

There was so much we didn’t do – and would have loved to have done – in Edinburgh but felt like we’d packed plenty into our three days there. The Adagio Aparthotel was a great location from which to explore and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again should we wish to venture further. For a short break, it had everything – even giant pandas.

Factbox: The Adagio Aparthotel Edinburgh Royal Mile is located at 231 Canongate.

Little-known gem OFTEN OVERLOOKED, ROCHE ABBEY IS AN ENGLISH HERITAGE SITE AND DATES BACK TO THE 12TH CENTURY. ometimes it’s easy to overlook the things that are right on your doorstep. If there are any positives to take from the last two pandemic-dominated years, it’s that it it forced us to explore the world around us, often presenting us with opportunities to discover things that we may have driven past without ever actually stopping.

Take Roche Abbey for example.

Situated just off the Blyth Road, it is one of the finest examples of a Cistercian monastery remaining today and is a great place to spend a few hours exploring and learning about its fascinating history.

It re-opens officially on 1 April, just in time for the Easter holidays.

Roche Abbey is beautifully set in a

valley landscaped by renowned landscape designer Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown and has one of the most complete ground plans of any English Cistercian monastery, laid out as excavated foundations.

It’s origins can be traced back to 1147, where it was founded as a monastery of the Cistercian order, but it is perhaps best known for the remains of its early Gothic church and for its early 13thcentury great gatehouse. At its peak, about 1175, Roche had about 50 monks and 100 lay brothers and servants.

Origins of Roche The procedures established by the Cistercian order decreed that a new monastery had to be founded from an

existing one. Accordingly, in 1147 an abbot and 12 monks, accompanied by about 20 lay brothers (who were responsible for most of the manual work in Cistercian monasteries), walked from Newminster Abbey in Northumberland to settle in wooden buildings constructed for them in a narrow valley 14 miles east of present-day Sheffield.

The name of the new abbey, Sancta Maria de Rupe (from the Latin rupes, ‘rock’ or ‘cliff ’), came from the distinctive limestone outcrops framing three sides of the valley. Two powerful local landowners, Richard de Bully, Lord of Tickhill, and Richard, son of Turgis, gifted the site and served as the new monastery’s patrons and protectors.

The community’s early years were

preoccupied with establishing a selfsufficient economy. Arable land was needed to grow food, as well as pasture to sustain the sheep and horses that provided wool and power for the daily work of the monastery.

As the community grew, it generated the income needed to construct larger, permanent stone buildings. Most were for the community’s own use but others provided visitors and travellers with hospitality, an obligation of all monasteries based on Christ’s words in the Gospels.

The Supression of Roche

‘Capability’ Brown Two-hundred years after the suppression of the monastery, the remains of the former abbey buildings and the valley in which they lay underwent a

>

England’s monasteries were suppressed

by Henry VIII in the late 1530s, and Roche’s monks surrendered the monastery to the king’s commissioners on 23 June 1538. In a brief ceremony in the chapter house they handed over the keys to their buildings and received pensions, and watched the clerks inventory all the monastery’s possessions.

Moveable items such as furniture were sold, some at auction.

What began, however, as an orderly process degenerated into pillage. Men from the locality descended on the abandoned buildings, carrying away what they could. The process of destruction was vividly described by Michael Sherbrook, a clergyman at nearby Wickersley.

transformation. The 4th Earl of Scarbrough (1725-82) contracted England’s most famous landscape designer, Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, to bring ‘order’ to the valley by remodelling it to contemporary tastes.

Brown engineered a lake and islands over Roche’s southern buildings, substituted a river for the medieval water channels, contrived a waterfall to cascade from the Laughton Pond, and composed irregular tree groupings in surrounding fields. He also levelled the ruins’ irregular walls to provide a uniform grassed foreground for a banqueting lodge.

In the 19th century later Earls of Scarbrough began undoing Brown’s work, which continued well into the 20th century. English Heritage assumed responsibility for the site in 1984 and has since recovered some of Roche’s medieval identity.

The great gatehouse of about 1300 was a two-storey building of which only the lower storey remains. From the westfacing porch the monks dispensed food to the destitute, and from the east-facing gate hall they admitted guests and monitored entries and exits. Between the two were gates, the larger for carts, the smaller for pedestrians.

Roche is full of little exciting corners to explore; you can view the remaining section of the gatehouse, the magnificent surviving transept walls and the ruined hall of the lay brothers’ infirmary. If the weather’s kind you can also enjoy a picnic in the ruins by the stream (and maybe even let the children have a paddle). And even better, it’s right on your doorstep.

Entry prices start from £5 for adults and £3 for children.To find out more, visit www.english-heritage.org.uk

Architecture The church of Roche Abbey is an outstanding example of early Gothic architecture in England, and the gatehouse is one of the earliest to survive from a Cistercian monastery.

The Gothic style, introduced in the area around Paris in the mid-1140s, united single structural features (such as pointed arches or rib vaults), sought increased light from larger windows, enlarged spatial volumes and displayed more unified decoration. The first Cistercian buildings in England to use the early Gothic style, in the late 1160s and 1170s, are at Kirkstead in Lincolnshire and Newminster in Northumberland.

The precisely cut stone and elaborate decoration at Roche, which is slightly later in date, also suggest contact with Cistercian centres in eastern France, notably Clairvaux (Aube) and Cherlieu (Franche-Comté), and with the abbeys of related orders in north-east France such as the Premonstratensian priory of Dommartin (Nord Pas-de-Calais).

The Gothic form of Roche contrasts with the architecture of the Cistercians’ earlier English monasteries, such as Rievaulx, Fountains, Kirkstall and Sawley, which employed Romanesque architecture.

Pantone was one of the earliest to announce their colour of the year,Very Peri. This beautiful purple reminds us of a similar colour spotted everywhere in 2020/21: lilac, now toned darker, this shade brings less subtlety and more vibrancy. Matching with the escapism trend, attributable to the pandemic, this exciting purple matches the necessary positivity and happy creativity that we need to move forwards from this depressive era.

Striving for contrast with our familiar neutral tones, dark blues are here to make a statement. WGSN sees 2022 bringing about a decidedly blue period, expecting to see these dark yet lively colours in your dining room and to the grander rooms in your home, but also as a statement colour in wardrobes.

Complementing our ties to nature, easy being green is here for the new year. Helping us transition from our neutrals, the mid-tone green brings light and breezy outdoor hues, inside for a calm pop of colour.

The simplicity of this tone, makes it almost too easy to incorporate into our homes, whether it accentuates a bedroom wall or adds a new layer to your winter wardrobe.

Putting the hands back into physio CHAPMAN PHYSIOTHERAPY TALKS ABOUT THE CHANGES BROUGHT ABOUT BY COVID. lmost two years on from the lockdown, what has happened to our profession? The line 'I've tried physio - they don't do anything' is frustrating and unfair. But alas the gulf between the hands-on assessment and treatment and the telephone advice service has widened exponentially.

At Chapman Physiotherapy, we have first-hand experience of delivering face to face, telephone and video assessments.

Given the choice, we still recommend face to face.

Why? We believe that most people have 'googled' what their condition may be before they present to us or their doctor. Some patients may have even tried some exercises. Whilst these may not be the same as we would prescribe, the biggest complaint we hear is 'I waited months for an appointment and just got a phone call and an exercise sheet'.

What happens at Chapman Physio? We WANT to see you. We want to assess you in person, we want to understand how the condition is affecting you and how it started.

We want to review

A

your range of movement and we want to clear our clinical tests (tests that point us in the direction of specific injuries). We want you to leave feeling that we have a plan of treatment and know what you can expect and also trust that if you need a scan or orthopaedic consultation, then we will totally recommend that.

That doesn't mean that we are just going to offer hands-on treatment. We recognise fully the importance of exercise to promote healthy movement patterns, effectively self-manage and understand the condition and restore strength. And we have our on-site gym to do this.

But we also recognise that sometimes, joints just become very 'stiff'. And that they will always take the path of least resistance. So, for example, if you have a chronically stiff hip and we give you exercises to get it moving, there's a chance a lot of that movement will come from the lumbar spine and strain that instead.

Because sometimes, manual therapy is needed to just 'get it moving' in the first place. It's only by assessing you face to face and reviewing you

and your movement that we can address this.

So as our motto says – 'keepingyoumoving' – we want to do exactly that. Get you moving and keep you moving. If you've not tried physio with us… maybe give it a go in 2022?

We are hands-on, proactive, research led physios who still believe in manual therapy. We don't ask you to commit to a course, but we are willing to see you as much as you want whilst you find physio beneficial. We want to help you reach your goals and have a pain-free year.

Find us on Facebook, call 01302 321245 or visit us at www.chapmanphysiotherapy.com where you can book online. #keepingyoumoving is our aim.

A faster way to get your glow back I wish I had known about this treatment a long time ago, it would have saved me money on skincare that didn’t actually help my skin. I had stubborn pigmentation and, no doubt, here the pigmentation made my skin look worse than it was and made me look older than I am (nobody wants that).The pigmentation I had would shine through any foundation, nothing would cover my dark patches.

In my career I am surrounded by extremely talented aestheticians and skin doctors. I was invited to Skin Doctor Clinics to try Lumecca IPL treatment, which uses photothermolysis, a method of applying intense pulsed lights to target pigmented skin and vascular lesions.The treatment improves the complexion and clarity of your skin whilst also improving the appearance of sun damage and redness on the skin.

MUSTY Lumecca is ideal for: age spots, pigmentation, freckles, scarring - this treatment R T improves the overall quality of the skin. After only one treatment my pigmentation was gone. Plus, my skin is truly glowing.

In recent months I noticed my hair became dry and I was losing a lot of it. I turned to Amla Oil, a natural oil used for health that contains extracts from the Indian gooseberry. It is traditionally made by drying the fruit and immersing it in a base oil for a duration after which the oil is filtered and purified. Amla Oil is said to stimulate hair growth and prevent hair loss and premature greying. When used as a hair treatment, Amla OIl is applied to the scalp or face.

My hair is now nourished and I have noticed substantial decrease in my hair and I think you should try it.

DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN FERRARI? RICHARD ABBEY LOOKS AT THE LATEST ADDITION TO THEIR ‘ONE-OFF’ RANGE AND MORE.

One of a kind The Ferrari BR20, the latest addition to the Prancing Horse’s One-Off series, has been unveiled and joins the most exclusive group in Maranello’s range: unique, absolutely bespoke cars crafted to the specifications of a client and designed as a clear expression of their own unique requirements.

The BR20 is a two-seater V12 coupé developed on the GTC4Lusso platform, which in terms of its philosophy and styling approach, cleverly references the magnificent Ferrari coupés of the 1950s and 60s, without the slightest hint of nostalgia. Instead, it pulls off the challenging feat of marrying timeless elegance with muscular sportiness, effortlessly incorporating styling themes typical of some of the most iconic 12cylinders in Ferrari history, including the 410 SA and 500 Superfast.

Designed for a longstanding client who was deeply involved in every step of its creation, the Ferrari BR20 represents a true interpretation of the traditional coachbuilder’s art, successfully transforming an existing model in a masterful and unique way taking inspiration from and paying homage to the company’s core values of innovation and passion.

Sustainable Skoda

Sleek and compact The Volkswagen Taigo, now open for order, is Volkswagen’s first SUV-coupé, bringing sleek looks, charisma and flexibility to the compact SUV segment.

The model starts at £21,960 OTR for the model in Life specification, allied to a 1.0-litre, 95 PS TSI engine and five-speed manual gearbox.

The newcomer features the higher seating position and ground clearance of an SUV, while also offering comfort and style. Personalisation is provided via a wide and vibrant range of paint colours, while further customisation is available optionally across various aspects of the interior.

Customer demand for high levels of technology and connectivity are met, with wireless App-Connect and wireless smartphone charging, as well as streaming and internet services, all included from Life trim upwards.

The Taigo range features four engine and gearbox configurations, with the combination depending on specification.

Four years after its launch, the ŠKODA Karoq has received an update. The update brings sustainable materials, new technology and more efficient engines, from the current EVO generation to the compact SUV. The wider, now hexagonal ŠKODA grille, slimmer headlights as well as tail lights, and aerodynamically optimised alloy wheels with black plastic Aero trim create fresh visual highlights. The new wheels, rear window finlets and a new rear spoiler all improve the car’s aerodynamics while lowering its CO2 emissions.

The interior features new upholstery which, as an option, can be made from sustainable materials. New technology – such as full-LED Matrix headlights and an expanded range of assistance systems – also debuts in the range. Five efficient engines from Volkswagen Group’s EVO generation round off the Karoq’s update. Two diesels and three petrol engines deliver power outputs ranging from 110 PS to 190 PS.

IN BRIEF

Lakeside Village set to support mental health charity Doncaster mental health charity, Doncaster Mind, has been named as charity of the year for Lakeside Village Outlet Shopping for 2022.

The local charity will benefit from fundraising at the centre throughout the year and support from the management team who work closely with the Doncaster Mind team to help them to reach more people who need their services.

Doncaster Mind is a mental health charity that offers services to people of Doncaster who are experiencing mental health difficulties.

The charity delivers a wider range of services for people aged 16 upwards these services include personal development courses, peer support activities, befriending, mentoring, art therapy, counselling, and support for people who have been bereaved by suicide.

Di Rogers, centre manager at Lakeside Village, said: “We are thrilled to be working with Doncaster Mind in 2022. This is a local charity that makes a real difference to people’s lives.

“Doncaster Mind works with individuals and families who need mental ill-health support and emotional well-being.

“The services are a vital lifeline to people who really need them and we are looking forward to working with our stores and shoppers to help to raise money throughout the year.”

Dog lovers unite More than 20 bags of towels, sheets and bedding have been donated by generous customers of Lakeside Village Outlet Shopping to support the Doncaster RSPCA branch this winter.

Over the past couple of months, shoppers had been asked to drop off cosy donations to the popular retail outlet to ensure any spare bedding and towels did not go to waste and could be passed to the RSPCA centre to benefit their dogs while they are awaiting a new home.

Di Rodgers, center manager at Lakeside Village, said: “We know that many of our shoppers are dog lovers and often bring their four-legged friends with them to the centre and we haven’t been disappointed by their generosity.

“After launching our appeal, we have had bag-loads of much needed donations which also included dog beds, treats and leads which will all help.

“We’re so pleased to be working with the local Doncaster RSPCA branch once again to support them to make sure that the dogs they look after get a warm and comfortable night’s sleep.”

Staff from Doncaster’s RSPCA centre visited Lakeside Village to collect the donations and brought along two furry friends who are currently looking for a new home together Angel who is a lurcher and Roxy, an akita.

Added Di: “We were over the moon to meet Angel and Roxy who are desperate for a new home together as it would be a real shame if they had to be split up.They are beautiful dogs and if anyone is interested in them, please contact the Doncaster RSPCA Centre on 01302 719790 so you can find out more.”

New arrival at YWP Yorkshire Wildlife Park is celebrating a precious arrival - the birth of an endangered Roloway monkey. Proud Kayla and Rafiki became parents for the second time on the 3 December.

The special delivery is another huge triumph to Yorkshire Wildlife Park - their first baby and now protective big brother, Kumasi, was born in 2020 at the park. At the time it was the first birth of its kind in the UK and a major success as only three babies were born worldwide that year The new-born Roloway Monkey is a boy and has been named Dassioko after Dassioko Sud and Port Gauthier Forest Reserves on the Ivory Coast of West Africa, an area of exceptional importance to the critically endangered Roloway monkeys.

Primates Team Leader Greg Clifton said: “This is a very exciting birth for us here at YWP as the Roloway monkeys are on the verge of extinction and are likely to become extinct in the wild over the coming few years, so breeding them here at YWP is major triumph for the European breeding programme and the species.”

McFly at the races One of the best loved British bands of the 21st century McFLY - will be coming to Doncaster for a huge outdoor show this summer.

Since hitting the big time as the youngest band ever to have a debut album go straight to number one — beating The Beatles’ long-standing record the prodigiously talented four-piece have become one of the nation’s best-loved bands and major stars in their own right.
