The search is on across the UK for 8,000 inspiring people to carry the Olympic Flame next year. Each torchbearer will be someone with an inspiring story of personal achievement or contribution to their community, and the public

are being asked to make nominations. Simon Green, Sheffield City Council’s Executive Director of Place, said: “Sheffield is full of fantastic sporting talent, and this is the chance of a lifetime to give people a ‘moment to shine’. My nomination is an amazing young lady from the Sheffield Academy of Young Leaders called Carys Hall. “Carys has given up so much of her time to volunteer at sporting events over the last five years, and now acts as a mentor for

other young people who want to get into working in sport. She has such enthusiasm and passion for sport in Sheffield, and it’s a privilege to nominate her to be a torchbearer.” Carys said: “I was really shy before I got involved with the Sheffield Academy of Young Leaders in Sport, but now I’ve met people from all over the world by volunteering at sports events and I’ve become much more confident. It would be amazing to be an Olympic torchbearer, and one of my other ambitions is to volunteer

the coming months for a knockout celebration on 25 June when the torch is here.” Sebastian Coe, Chair of LOCOG said: “We are thrilled that Sheffield City Council has agreed to host the Olympic Flame on its journey right across the UK.

COPLEYʼS COLUMN

I find the gaffe made by Kenneth Clarke this week absolutely amazing. One would think that an experienced and capable member of parliament would have a good understanding of the English language. Alas, no, the word less should never be used in conversations about the heinous crime of rape, be it about the offence itself or the amount of custodial sentence meted out to the perpetrators of this disgusting crime. Of course, what he should have said is that some rapes are more than others, where the attacker springs out of the darkness, terrifying their unknown victim, is manifestly worse than the offence being carried out as a result of being attacked by someone known to the victim, which has got out of hand. I must hastily add that I do not in any way condone the latter, it is just that the former version is much worse. Kenneth Clarke, take note, your English lesson is now over. The much awaited debut as a solo artiste by Bjorn Again star, Diana Edwards really lived up to the high expectations. The White Swan, in Dronfield, was the venue, and Diana filled the pub to capacity. She evidenced why she has had so much success, nationally and internationally, by a show of extreme quality, performing a wide range of material including the occasional Abba cover. Landlord, Ray Keddy, must have had to stop up half the night counting the takings. Diana is not only a class act, but also a beautiful human being. Not only does she perform an annual run for charity, she is also a volunteer for the Samaritans. On Friday night, when most of us were out enjoying ourselves, Diana was helping out in the soup kitchen, feeding the homeless. I am proud to say that she is a particularly good friend of mine, and the selfless way she runs

her life is an example to all of us. Helen Windsor, a close friend of Diana’s is also doing her bit for charity. Perhaps the word ‘bit’ rather understates the position as Helen, along with a dentist friend and a dental nurse have signed up to take part, next February, in a four hundred kilometre bicycle ride across Kenya to benefit Women v Cancer Kenya. This ride, over much rough terrain I imagine has to be completed within five days, a severe test of endurance. However, I have always thought of Helen as a fit lass, although five days on a bicycle saddle will be arduous for a girl more accustomed to having a horse between her legs. £10,w000 has to be raised before November, in conjunction with Diana, and some assistance from the Mercury, I am hoping to put on a fund raising show in the autumn. This is the real meaning of charity, infinitely better than artistes appearing at charity nights, supposedly in support, yet charging a full fee. In this vein, the large number of artistes who have turned out for me, whether it be for my birthday celebrations, or fund raisers without charging a penny, will always be the real stars of showbusiness in these parts as far as I am concerned. Regular readers of this column will recall that I was instrumental in getting my pal, ex- world heavyweight boxing champion, Tim Witherspoon, to perform the opening ceremony of a new veterinary practice in Dronfield Woodhouse, the Dronfield Veterinary Clinic. They held an open day, which will be a fundraiser for international animal welfare charities, and Sally Rainbow attended with many of her exotic pets, including meerkats. I shall be reporting on this in next week’s column, hopefully with some interesting pictures, which you will be able to read while I am soaking up the sun in a five star hotel in Cancun, Mexico. It’s a hard life.

Weekly Wit With... ALBERT SNODGRASS

A bloke in a Sheffield supermarket tries to buy half a cauliflower. The very young greens produce assistant tells him that they sell only whole cauliflowers. The bloke persists and asks to see the manager. The boy says he’ll ask his manager about it. Walking into the stock room, the boy said to his manager ‘Some w****r out there wants to buy half a cauliflower.’ As he finished his sentence, he turned to find the bloke standing right behind him, so he added, ‘And this gentleman has kindly offered to buy the other half.’ The manager approved the deal, and the bloke went on his way. Later the manager said to the boy, ‘I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of that situation earlier. We like people who think on their feet here. Where are you from, son?’ ‘ Cardiff , sir,’ the boy replied. ‘Well, why did you leave Cardiff ?’ the manager asked. The boy said, ‘Sir, there’s nothing but prostitutes and rugby players there.’ ‘Really?’ said the manager. ‘My wife is from Cardiff .’ ‘You’re kidding?’ replied the boy. What position did she play?’ Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement centre were sitting on a bench under a tree when one turns to the other and says: ‘Slim, I’m 83 years old now and I’m just full of aches and pains. I know you’re about my age. How do you feel?’ Slim says, ‘I feel just like a newborn baby.’ ‘Really!? Like a newborn baby!?’ ‘Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants.

round-up by stuart renton

I’m just going to dive right in to this week’s column and say the words on everyone’s lips: Ryan Giggs! It’s not the first time that Giggsie has been on someone’s lips (that’s what started this whole affair off in the first place), but you knew who the papers were talking about. You know it. I knew it. We all knew it. I wanted to talk about this bad boy last week, but it was forbidden. That’s right. I was forbidded. Forbaded. Forbode… I wasn’t allowed to talk about it. One day it was taboo, the next it was plastered all over the front page of the newspapers (like yesterday’s Daily Mirror at a Dogging party). So, let’s get this straight: nothing’s actually changed in a week yet we can now talk about the whole Gigg’s incident now because some politician out him (it’s not the first time a politician’s been outed over an orange at half time). Footballers have been behaving badly for years now, so why do we idolize them? They’ve proven time and time again that they don’t deserve our affections, in fact they’re all a bunch of foul mouthed, adultering scumbags for whom chemical castration would be too good, yet we continue to love them, forgetting about previous misdemeanors faster than a prison guard turns the other cheek after his nine o’clock Horlicks. Regarding the Rapture. Well, it didn’t happen. We weren’t whisked anywhere and the earthquakes that were to herald the end of the world never materialized. Poor Harold Camping’s prediction that the end of days had come was hopeless. Did anyone really believe it? Well, you might think not, but incredibly, up to two thousand Americans were sufficiently fooled to sell their possessions in readiness for the “next life”. Old nutty Camping had previously gotten the date of the Rapture wrong and this is the second time we’ve been excited about God II: the Return. But Camping made this response, claiming that working out dates from the Bible was ‘difficult’. “I want to be explicit about the date of the actual Rapture, which will now occur on the twenty fifth of Julember in the year Pixie SpankApple.” So there you go. Another religious ultra wacko gets in the papers for fooling people into thinking the end of the world was coming. People will believe anything these days… What’s that, I’ve just inherited four million dollars from a Nigerian uncle I never knew I had and all I need to do is send a payment of five thousand pounds to transfer the cash to my account… Where’s my cheque book?

DURAN DURAN

After a long absence from the live performance arena in the UK, British rock legends, Duran Duran, will return to their home market for a series of eleven highly anticipated Arena concerts in May & June 2011. The shows will mark the band’s first European performances in support of their critically acclaimed, new album ALL YOU NEED IS NOW (produced by Mark Ronson), and the start of a world tour that will last well into 2012. Duran Duran will be playing Sheffield at the Motorpoint Arena on Saturday 4th June. The original line up of SIMON LE BON, NICK RHODES, JOHN TAYLOR and ROGER TAYLOR will perform to over 150,000 fans in 11 arena concerts throughout the UK. The band will showcase material from their new record, along with classic hits from across their 30 year career. The “ALL YOU NEED IS NOW” arena tour will be Duran Duran’s first in seven years, following their hugely successful 2004 Astronaut Arena Tour, which saw the band perform to sold out crowds for 17 nights, including a five-night residency at London’s Wembley Arena. Throughout their outstanding career Duran Duran has sold more than 80 million records, with 30 chart toppers in the UK, 18 American hit singles and a global presence that guarantees them huge concert audiences on five continents. Now a seemingly unstoppable force, with no fewer than five prestigious Lifetime Achievement Awards under their belts in the last few years alone (MTV Video Music Awards, the Brit Awards, the Ivor Novellos, Q Magazine and the Spanish Ondas), the four original members of Duran Duran are in a category with only a handful of other internationally acclaimed artists. As this new chapter begins, they have nothing left to prove, but everything to play for. So for them and their loyal army of fans... All You Need Is Now!

Tickets for their Shefﬁeld concert, priced £55, £40,& £30 (subject to booking fee) are available in person at the Arena Box Ofﬁce, by phone on 0114 256 5656 or online at www.motorpointarena.co.uk

EAST 17

Legendary boy band, East 17, have announced their much-anticipated return to the live circuit and reveal a brand new line up. Tony Mortimer, John Hendy, and Terry Coldwell will be joined by Blair Dreelan on lead vocals, as the band hit the road for seven intimate shows this summer. Set to be one of pop’s most anticipated rebirths, the tour begins in Scotland, at O2 ABC2 Glasgow on Friday 15th July and culminates with a hometown gig in London, when they take to the O2 Academy Islington stage on Tuesday 26th July. The band reformed in 2010, and have recorded a brand new album with top-line production team Tinman Productions, consisting of Sparx and Jo’90’ Lawrence, and are now signed to FOD Records worldwide. “We have been waiting for the right time and the right lead singer and are really looking forward to playing our previous hits and some songs from our forthcoming album live,” says Tony Mortimer. Founded in 1992, the group’s name came from the postcode for Walthamstow. East 17 notched up some 18 Top 20 singles and four Top 10 albums, and were one of the most famous acts in the world during the early to mid 1990s selling some 20 million records across Europe as opposed to Take That’s 19 million. In contrast to the wholesome boy band image, East 17 were seen as a grittier and more ‘real’, blending rap and pop in songs such as “House of Love” and “Steam”, and also tackled political issues with tracks like “Let It Rain”. Between 1992 and 1998 the band scored 12 Top 10 hits in the UK Singles Chart and on its release their debut album, ‘Walthamstow’, shot to Number 1 in the UK Albums Chart. It featured a string of Top 20 singles, including “House of Love” and “Deep”. “It’s Alright” became a major success in Australia, reaching Number 1 in early 1994 for seven consecutive weeks, having previously hit Number 3 in the UK charts in 1993. In 1994, upon the release of their second album, ‘Steam’, they scored a UK Number 1 single with “Stay Another Day”, which remained at the top for five weeks and was also that year’s Christmas Number 1. The track still remains a classic Christmas anthem. The boys furthered this success when they hit the Number 2 spot with “If You Ever”, a duet with UK soul singer Gabrielle.

2011 Award Sponsors

Voting is now open for the Mercury Clubland Awards 2011 – the premier Clubland Awards night of the year! This year, thanks to our new advertisers in Doncaster. Voting promises to be more exciting than ever! And by popular request, we have introduced a new category for 2011 - Best DJ. Votes can now be cast by post or e-mail (voting@mercurynewspaper. co.uk), and we will shortly be opening votes by text, and online at www. mercurynewspaper.co.uk. Full details can be found on the voting form inside this week’s paper. Voting slips and a ballot box will also be available at many of the local clubs in the run-up to the Awards Night! It has been a good year for many of 2010’s winners – Jimmy Carol retains his crown as one of the biggest draws to the clubs, and retains his faithful Sunday lunchtime radio listeners

– One Way (Best Group) have continued to rock audiences with their wide repertoire and tremendous musical talents, although this year they face serious competition from Tytania, who took last year’s title as Best Newcomers. Dance Nation (Best Duo/Trio) have gone from strength to strength and have a packed diary stretching well into 2012. Best Vocalists Thomas Marx and Sarah Daniels have been featured regularly in local venues across the region. The category of Best Vocal Group will be wide open, as sadly last year’s winners The Fantastics are no longer together. Ricky K (Best All Round Entertainer) will face strong competition in a division which is always hotly contested, and Complete Madness will be hoping to retain their crown as Best Tribute Act in a year which has seen many quality acts burst onto the scene in this category. We shall be giving you regular updates as voting progresses and we receive new nominations for each award. But as always, it will be your votes that count. Make sure your favourite act is in the running when the polls close at midnight on Tuesday 6th September.

VOTING FORM

PLEASE VOTE FOR YOUR FAVOURITE...

The Awards Night will be held at Crookes Social Club on Thursday October 27th, and as usual we will have a fantastic show featuring many of the award winners. Tickets are now on sale via the Mercury Hotline on 0114 276 3701, and from the venue itself shortly afterwards. At only £7.50 there will be no better show this year. The night is always a complete sell-out, so book early to avoid being disappointed! Despite the widely reported problems faced by pubs and clubs in this difficult financial climate, South Yorkshire remains a stronghold of top quality live music and entertainment, offering fantastic value to its traditional audiences in Clubland. The Mercury has been at the heart of this industry for over 17 years; we are proud of our contribution to its history, and we remain firmly committed to ensuring that this fantastic legacy survives and prospers.

That’s good news, and will remain true even if a case of beer is free with every bottle of pickled onions in the local supermarket. So let’s stop, as a trade, our tendency to blame others, and do what we can — let’s show our responsible entrepreneurial skills.” – and also continue to show the genuine, caring side of our industry which does so much without reward for good causes.

VOICE OF THE NIGHTINGALE RADIO NIGHTINGALE by Mel Jacques

This week saw the publication of edition 45 of the Radio Nightingale handbook. This booklet is produced quarterly to distribute information about Radio Nightingale to the patients and staff of the Rotherham General Hospital. It includes information about the stations activities, fundraising, volunteering and most importantly our current programme schedule.

LEICESTER

SQUARE WMC CLUBHISTORIANS.CO.UK by Ruth Cherrington

A working men’s club in London’s Leicester Square? You’re joking, aren’t you? No, I’m not but the stand up comics at the venue certainly were and got some laughs along the way. Ok, it’s not a real WMC but you will find in this small downstairs room in Leicester Square Theatre the essence of club entertainment whittled down into 3 hours. You don’t have to be a card carrying member and it’s adults rather than family entertainment. But the organisers and comperes, David Hardcastle and Luke Benson of Get Happy Comedy, certainly tip their hats to the great club tradition. At £5 a go, it’s a bargain with a free game of bingo thrown in (only a line, I would have liked more!) and a chance to win at darts. You just get one throw but it’s a laugh and there are dominoes provided should you want to play in-between turns. There is also a raffle, a club must, with the top prize a pile of meat, as it would have been in real clubs back in the day. It was a great prize even though I’m a vegetarian. I was excited when my friend won. He was dead chuffed. Masters of ceremony David and Luke opened up the show with a bit of banter, with the lovely Miss Rachel Parris on piano playing some ‘toons’ as Luke said in his lilting Geordie accent. There were a few turns and an interval to stock up on drinks which is what intervals are for, surely! Rachel called out the bingo numbers in a unique style, unlike any other bingo caller I have ever encountered. Sadly she didn’t call my numbers. Shake ‘em up, Rachel! The turns included American comedian Scott Capurro, a Perrier Award Winner at the Edinburgh Festival a few years back and is a regular on C5’s The Wright Stuff. Scott is very non-pc and takes no prisoners. Comic magician Lee Hathaway impressed us with his swallowing of a 3 foot long sausage balloon without choking to death. How did he do that? Afterwards in the pub, he seemed fine and was drinking normally. There was a Talent Quest when 4 aspiring comics each had 7 minutes to amuse the audience and see if they come out the other end. This reminded me of the early days of ‘alternative comedy’ back in the early 80s. It’s tough work but they all survived. 7 minutes might be a tad too long- 5 minutes could be better for the comics and audience alike. Finally, Earl Okin entertained us with his subtle dry humour, dulcet tones and guitar playing. He also ‘played’ quite a few other instruments just with his mouth and breath. Again, I found myself asking, ‘how did he do that?’ Earl is a seasoned entertainer, who has done the club circuit and knows how to win and keep an audience. A bit of class. The Leicester Square WMC is a comedy club that pays respectful homage to the great club tradition. It’s a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Go and see for yourself- you might come away a few chicken drumsticks better off! www.leicestersquaretheatre.com

CASH FOR KIDS MAGIC AM by Trevor Thomas

They’re three little words that you may have seen in different places all around South Yorkshire. It’s the name for our official charity which has now been operating for over 35 years raising money for children in our patch who need your help. Recently we’ve successfully promoted awareness for many different causes and helped fund a great deal of valuable schemes. This Friday May 27th will be our Cash For Kids Day which also coincides with our latest appeal for the Teenage Cancer Trust. Every single day 6 young people are told they’ve got cancer but when it comes to treatment many of them can only be treated on either children’s wards or on a ward with more elderly patients. The trust funds and equips our area’s only designated Teenage Cancer Unit at Weston Park Hospital in Sheffield. They can’t go on to build on the vital service they provide however without important funding. We’re looking for your help to raise £30,000. Please visit magicam.co.uk to find out more, or tune in for details as we approach Friday. If you’d like to donate, call 0114 209 1100. Many thanks and see you in the morning for breakfast, Trevor

I called in to Woodhouse Mill on Sunday, just on speck – and I was glad I did! I was delighted to see my old friend Sunny Daye up on stage, and as always she gave a great performance. She has a great voice, good stage presence, and a huge repertoire of songs old and new. If you’ve never been lucky enough to see her, watch out for a real star of the Club Scene. Paul (Rocky Horror)

INTERVIEW by KT Evans BUZZCOCKS

What would have happened if Malcolm Mclaren had never introduced Steve Diggle to Peter Shelly and Howard Devato at a notorious Sex Pistols gig in June 1976? For a start, one of the best songs in British punk-rock, ‘Ever Fallen in Love’ would not have been written yes, but more than that…Punk would not be what it is today. The Buzzcocks are punks. Then and now. Still was, still is. And their acid test at FOM Fest last weekend…for the love of Mohawks and tartan drainpipes, hell they nailed it! Steve Diggle, The Buzzcocks original bassist turned guitarist sure has some stories to tell. Having lived through one of the most exciting times in British music history, Punk Rock was not only a revolutionary genre of music…it was a way of life aswell. ‘Back when we first started, we made our own record and said f**k the lot of them! We thought we will never get a record deal, we’ll just make our own. We just did it on our own terms and did what we wanted to.’ And it worked. Hell it worked better than the youthful, energetic four piece could ever have hoped for. Thirty something years down the line and The Buzzcocks are anything but a shadow of their former selves. Having just completed an epic tour around the world, seeing them bust some beats in and around South America, the band are by no means what-so-ever acting their age. ‘The first time we played in Chile, there were all these girls and guys at the front singing the words to us. That was amazing, for the first time going to those places,’ explains Steve in his Northern trademark accent. ‘One thing is, we had some good songs, songs that people can remember and sing along.’ So what about the future for The Buzzcocks? After various disbandment’s throughout the 1980’s, the band are once again back as a four piece, relighting the punk rock musical trail they are so defiant to leave behind. ‘We have been busy doing new songs, but we’ve got a catalogue of about 120, 130 songs that a lot of people want to hear. We’d have to do a four hour set!’ We’re not complaining if you’re not… Preserving musical history, The Buzzcocks are an institution in the UK, both past and present. Drawing in a vast crowd for their late evening set at FOM Fest last Saturday night, in terms of kicking some ass, yeah they’ve still got it…in bucket loads. ‘It’s good that it’s a northern festival with a lot of northern fans. There’s something special about the bands; the Charlatons, Badly Drawn Boy, who are all from our neighbourhood, Manchester…I really hope it develops.’

REVIEW by KT Evans FRIENDS OF MINE FESTIVAL

As it’s so difficult to sum up last weekend’s Friends of Mine Festival in Manchester personally, we’ll let The Cribs do it for us instead; ‘Hey hey scenesters, you are all in trouble now!’ Forget about the pretentious lot who travel in packs around the British festivals, FOM Fest was anything but; more a collection of passionate musicians and fans craving their dose of live music. So it is perfectly suited to quote The Cribs again…’Everybody’s happy now!’ Bang on, that! Held at Capesthorne Hall just outside Manchester, this year was the festival’s debut, testing the waters of its popularity and appeal as a contender on the summer’s circuit. With a line-up that truly reflected Manchester’s vibrant music scene, the festival itself was undoubtedly a huge success, not to mention venue and attitude reflected by the crowds. A superb situation, ideally located in the vast, yet tightly knitted together grounds of Capethorne, from the camp site to the main stage arena was a mere ten minute walk. We’re not calling you lazy now, but hey nobody likes to find themselves on a wild goose chase in the dark! Capethorne therefore delivered spot on. Ok ok, so you don’t go to a festival just because you like the location; it’s all about the line-up. And true to form, FOM had that covered aswell. Headliners including Badly Drawn Boy, Buzzcocks, The Cribs and The Charlatons not only aided the versatility of the festival’s genre-conventions, but also the varied age audience. Unlike any other local festival, FOM incorporated everyone’s tastes, tapping in exactly to its audience’s needs. It allowed for variations and differences to come together and enjoy live music for what it really is, with no airs and graces. Although the main stage performances didn’t conclude until past midnight, the House Party tent was on site for those who wanted more of a nocturnal weekend. Supplying the best in dance and dub music, the tent appealed to the younger aged audience with a taste for something aside from live bands. However, the House Party did pose a threat for those not into their electronica music; in other words, dance and dub can get monotonous, which the tent itself was running the risk of towards the end of the evenings entertainments. Having said this however, the tent sure did pull in the crowds with people queuing up outside to catch a glimpse of the infamous House Party for themselves. Overall FOM, you did yourself proud. Bring on next year we say!

SCARLETE FEVER Sheffield City Hall this Saturday 28th May welcomes one of the UK’s latest female singersongwriter sensations Scarlette Fever in support of Mike & The Mechanics. Scarlette has received resounding praise everywhere this year from critics as diverse as BBC Radio 2 to Bliss magazine and now from The Mercury. Speaking exclusively to us last week she described how her debut album ‘Medication Time’ was three years in the making due to her absolute insistence on writing and producing ‘wholly organic’ music one track at a time as opposed to rushing things in order to meet commercial deadlines. This goes some way to explaining the raw passion and breathtaking emotion which underlies the whole album from start to finish; after losing a very close friend a few years ago to breast cancer the now 28 year old Scarlette decided to throw caution to the wind and jettison her career as a Marine Biologist in favour of pursuit of her musical dream. And the debut album has certainly been well worth the wait, the first single, power ballad ‘Crash & Burn’ was a fantastic success in its purest form and has gone on to be equally popular in the club scene with remixes from Jason Nevins and Steve Smart vs Westfunk to name but a few. The second single ‘Black and White’ was released 1st may and rocketed to number 2 in the US Breakout Billboard demonstrating her truly universal appeal. Scarlette is sure to ride the waves of her self written success story for years to come

A guilt-ridden Mercy calls a halt to her wedding but can Fat Boyʼs shock admission convince her to tie the knot? Meanwhile Phil receives some bad news from Yusef and Dot struggles to cope without Jim. TUES: Masoodʼs growing rage at Yusefʼs scheming is further fuelled by a vengeful Phil. Zainab is appalled when she discovers Syed and Christianʼs secret, while Afia has her own surprise for Tamwar. Jay offers up a solution to Rickyʼs financial problems, and Fat Boy is thrown by Ashleyʼs unexpected return. THURS: Yusef fears for his life when a dramatic showdown with Masood threatens to spiral out of control. Mercy struggles to understand Fat Boyʼs deceit, while Shirley is left reeling when Philʼs pent-up anger finally explodes. Carol lays down the law when Ricky reveals the truth about his recent job interview.

FRI: As Tam and Afia struggle to deal with last nightʼs shocking events, Masood gives Denise reason to doubt Yusefʼs motives. Shirley fears the worst when Phil refuses to explain his whereabouts the previous night. Meanwhile, Kat and Alfie are given an unwelcome reminder of recent events, while Roxy gives Michael one last chance to make their relationship work. EMMERDALE MON: Chas is worried that all is not right with Paddy. Jimmy is gutted as Nicola remains frosty. An accident in the pub causes concern over Rhonaʼs baby. TUES: Rhona goes into labour.

Becky cannot face life without Max. David forces Kylie to make a difficult decision. FRI: The search for John and Hope reaches a

dramatic climax. Beckyʼs rampage leaves Tracy fearing for her life. Will Steveʼs confession lead to the end of his marriage? NEIGHBOURS MON: With her police ﬁle now in Callumʼs hands, Sonya worries he will not like what he sees. When her fears prove to be well founded, Jade sticks up for her, telling Callum he should give her sister another chance. As Kyle moves into the Scully household, despite his best intentions, an already stressed Summer ﬁnds it hard to take. TUES: Ostracised by his colleagues after exposing Constable Holland, Brennan re-evaluates his feelings about the police force. When he nearly comes to blows with his boss, Brennan does something out of character to take his mind off the job. After being prompted by Jade, Sonyaʼs attempt to come clean to Callum is sidelined when Toadie offers a path towards reconciliation. WED: Determined to get her life back on

track, Libby discusses her career plans with her parents. They suggest she should focus on initially becoming assistant principal. Needing Michaelʼs support to make this happen, Libby backs a plan of his she doesnʼt really believe in. But when he fails to repay her support, she decides it might be time to knock him off his perch. Brennan soon regrets his one-night stand with Jade, but he ﬁnds her easygoing attitude about the incident hard to take. THURS: After Libbyʼs latest subversive plan to become principal of Erinsborough High is undermined by Paul, she decides to try to enlist him in the battle against Michael. Sophie decides she needs a complete style makeover, but the ideas she is offered by Lisa do not go down at all well. FRI: While Toadie, still plagued by his feelings for Sonya, seeks advice, she is reminded of the secrets she still keeps from him. And is it too late for her to come clean to Callum? Tash plays a dangerously complex game in her bid to take Lisa down a peg or two. Will she push it too far?

M U DR TOP S MAKE DRUM STOP YOUR NEXT STOP! Drum Stop Advertorial Feature

For drummers in the South Yorkshire area, there is really only one place to visit – Drum Stop – one of the country’s largest specialist drum and percussions specialists! Run by drummers for drummers, the store really does cater for all budgets – from enthusiastic learners to top pro musicians. All leading brands are stocked, there is a range of all the latest equipment on display at all times, and Craig and the team are happy for the gear to get a good workout before any purchases are made – “Try before you Buy” is a key philosophy of our service.

Our commitment doesn’t stop with the purchase – Drum Stop offers comprehensive warranties, a full range of spares, a re-heading service and advice and assistance with tuning, as well as a ﬁrst class mail order service for customers who live a little further away!

HISTORY Our first shop opened its doors in August 2005, in Chesterfield. We had a vision – to create one of the UK’s largest drum and percussion specialist stores and also to create a friendly, helpful environment where customers felt comfortable in visiting, had the opportunity to try what we sold, and to receive helpful and impartial advice on equipment, drumming and music in general. By August 2008 we had physically run out of space – it was time to re-locate to bigger premises, and our current store proved ideal. We are still fairly close to all the loyal customers who helped us get off the ground, and yet by moving near to Crystal Peaks we are also able to provide a unique service to the people of Sheffield, which despite its fantastic music scene had no specialists offering the service we do! We hope our latest project will benefit kids in the Sheffield area – we are delighted that the guys at Radio Hallam have just collected a drum kit for display in the station – over the next few months, every artist who visits will be asked to sign it, and the kit will be auctioned off at the year end with proceeds going to the “Cash 4 Kids” campaign – so good luck!

OPEN DAY SATURDAY 28TH MAY! Our Open days are legendary for the special offers and freebies we give away! However to make things easier this year, we have a new format. Call in any day between 9.00 a.m. 23rd May to 11 a.m. 28th May, and you can collect a wristband to be entered into our in-store draw at 4.00 p.m. on the 28th – just one rule – you must be present when the draw is made to claim your prize!

The prizes include:

• A Pearl Vision VX Drum Kit • Yamaha DTX Multi 12 • Full Set of Hardcases • Mapex P710 Double Pedal • Vic Firth & Vater Stick Packs and loads of other prizes for you to take your pick from!

Also on the day:

PETS CORNER

BARK AND RIDE: TRAVEL SAFETY THIS BANK HOLIDAY If you are thinking of taking the family away over the bank holiday, PDSA says it is vital that you consider ‘buckling up’ your fourlegged friends whilst travelling in the car. “Dogs can cause accidents if they are not secure in the car, as they can distract the driver” warns PDSA Senior Veterinary Surgeon, Sean Wensley. According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, if a car travelling at 30mph crashes containing an unrestrained Border Collie (22kg), the dog would hurtle forward with a force equivalent to a polar bear! Sean continues: “Securing your dog with a pet seat belt or behind a dog guard is PDSA’s recommended way of ensuring your dog travels safely”. Pet seat belts or harnesses are ideal for medium or larger sized dogs. They secure the dog’s shoulders, legs, chest and back and attach to the car’s seat belt. For small dogs and other pets, including cats and small furry animals, a pet carrier or travel cage is an ideal way to keep them safe. Before buying a harness, you should check that it ﬁts correctly for your dog’s weight and size. If you use a carrier, make sure the door is always securely fastened when driving to prevent your pet from escaping. For more information on looking after your pet visit www.pdsa.org. uk

Angler’s Corner by Clint Walker

Fishing is all about image, about how expensive your tackle is, your biggest fish (must be bigger than the angler you are talking to) and where you can afford to fish isn’t it?? Well, it would certainly appear that way if you believe all that you read in the angling press, but do all anglers work like that?? I recently fished a short session on a very nice day ticket venue; I’d had a few carp, some stunning roach and some good sized bream, but then I realised I was bored!! Bored with fishing in ‘fish soup’, bored with buying shiny kit, and bored with driving miles to get to a venue busy with other people; not a good state of affairs, but one in which I bet an awful lot of anglers have found themselves....So what to do about it?? Where I live, there is a particularly unpleasant pool; I would say there is perhaps something similar near you. This pit is surrounded by used disposable barbeques, dog mess, empty beer cans, shopping trolleys, litter and has the standard stolen car (x2) submerged in one of the bank side pegs. It’s the kind of place you would worry about your safety, the security of your kit, and whether your car windows will still be present when you return, but do you know something? It’s got some bloody big fish in it! I spent a couple of hours hidden in the top branches of a handy tree and watched the resident carp cruising around the lilies (and through the windows of the sunken transit van), I saw some monster roach flashing amongst the cabbages that litter the bottom and cracking perch chasing them. I noticed jack pike hovering below overhanging branches and a shoal of huge bream like I’ve never seen before! The pool is famed (on the quiet) for one special carp weighing around 40lbs, so everything else is ignored! Better still, it’s completely free to fish! It does attract some ‘serious’ carpers, but yesterday I met Joe; a 12 year old lad recently expelled from school, somewhat bedraggled and pulling a wheelie bin behind him. I watched from my lofty viewpoint as he deposited the bin beneath me and proceeded to remove two sections of a three section rod (“I broke the top bit”) a busted float, a few split shot, a bag of maggots and a couple of other oddments. Joe set up his kit and cast out a short distance and began to fish unsuccessfully. My gear was still in my van, so I clambered down and rooted out a new float, a maggot box, a disgorger, some hooks to nylon and some more shot, then wandered back over to him. Joe was fed up with school, with mum and dad, and with fishing because he wasn’t catching. I offered to change his rig for him to see if he could catch some of the hundreds of roach and perch in the swim. Within minutes, Joe was catching ‘one-a-chuck’ and had brightened up considerably. I spent around 20 minutes with Joe, watched him catch fish, and then left him to carry on. As I walked away the “thanks mister” meant more to me than a 20lb carp.......I’m not bored with fishing anymore, this young chap made me realise just how much enjoyment can be had by spending a few hours by a pool, Joe made sure I got my mojo back, and I just hope he got as much out of our time together as I did! 5 Individual Lakes

Racing Form

by Timelord

Saturday TV racing from Haydock, Newmarket and Beverley It’s something of a “doldrums” weekend this time, ahead of the Epsom Derby meeting next week. We shall have to be content with fairly average stuff from Newmarket, Haydock and Beverley on Saturday but these races might still be worth watching closely for clues to the bigger meetings of Epsom and Royal Ascot which are just around the corner. There are eight televised races on Channel 4 with three handicaps, a stakes race, three Listed races and a Group 3 contest. Two of the handicaps are for 3yo horses many of which are totally unexposed and as a result look pretty unfathomable to me. There is also an all-aged 2 mile handicap that looks similarly tricky. The Listed and Group 3 contests look slightly more predictable but are still highly competitive and the 2yo stakes race from Beverley concerns some promising and unexposed types as well. All in all it looks like a minimum stakes day. Starting at Haydock: The first race at 2.05 is a 0-95 2 mile all-age handicap. The one that looks to have a good chance to me is Tim Easterby’s Bollin Felix who should find this track more to his liking than the tight Chester turns where he had his seasonal pipe-opener last week. He should start at a fair price but is no certainty in a tightly knit handicap. In the Sandy Lane Stakes at 2.35, a 6 furlong Listed affair for 3yo animals, I like the look of Mick Channon’s Show Rainbow who I think has the class to prevail. Richard Hannon’s Cape to Rio will be dangerous, as will Dozy Joe, Belle Bayardo, Oor Jock, Rhythm of Light and Le Chevlaier Choisi (both of whom were winners last time out). In the Pinnacle Stakes at 3.05, a Listed contest for Fillies and Mares, the day’s Nap goes to Henry Cecil’s unbeaten Galileo filly Vita Nova, who should be able to lift this prize, ahead of (for this class) some largely disappointing types, on her way to bigger and better things. She looks to have the makings of a high class performer and has been untroubled to win three times so far. Her master handler has brought her along steadily up to this point and I rate her as one to watch as the season progresses so she is a fairly confident choice to win here. The last TV race from Haydock is the Group 3 Timeform Jury Stakes (registered as the John Of Gaunt Stakes) where my next best goes to Clive Cox’s recent course and distance scorer Beacon Lodge. If ready to themselves justice on their seasonal reappearances Border Patrol and Rainfall should give him most to do. At Newmarket: The 2.20 is a 0-90 handicap for 3yos, most of whom are relatively unexposed. On what we have seen to date I reckon that this should be between Humdrum and Catalyze with not much to separate them. In a very tight call I am just siding with Humdrum although it is also possible that one of the lesser exposed animals could spring a surprise. Of the others therefore, the principal dangers look to be: Buckland; Cruiser; Anoint; and My Vindication. In the 10 furlong Listed race for 3yos at 2.50 Luca Cumani’s unbeaten Naqshabban could start as the favourite. Last time out he beat John Gosden’s filly Joviality by a neck and she went on to land the Group 3 Musidora Stakes at York earlier this month, narrowly beating Barefoot Lady. However, through Joviality, John Gosden should know where he stands in relation to Naqshabban and has entered his recent course and distance scorer Buthelezi, who gets the vote. Others in with good chances are Measuring Time, Picture Editor, Loving Spirit, Hurricane Higgins, Specific Gravity and Cai Shen. The Newmarket TV coverage concludes with another tricky 3yo 0-105 handicap over 6 furlongs. There are numerous horses with good chances but just about top of my list is Clive Cox’s bottom weight Apollo D’ Negro who may be able to give a good account of himself here. Dangers are many and are headed by: Jack Smudge; Madany; Avonmore Star; Bathwick Bear; Forty Proof; and El Viento. Finally the TV coverage finishes with Beverley’s 3.45 – the Brian Yeardley Two Year Old Trophy Conditions Stakes over 5 furlongs. This looks a very close call between 10 lightly raced promising types and one unraced contestant. I like the chances of Mark Johnston’s Cravat although the trainer also has a couple of other entries. Last time out Cravat suffered badly from interference early on in a competitive York race won by Gatepost, where he couldn’t recover in time to trouble the principals. He needs to come back from that but, given no interference this time, I reckon he has a good shout and may well start at a longer price than merited as a result of his form figures ostensibly being less impressive than those of his opponents. Hamza finished second that day and rates a big danger. Others not fully exposed but likely to improve again are: Arnold Layne; Monnoyer (4th in the York race); Fulbright; and Gabrial. Selection Summary: Below I have given the usual shortlists for the races on TV the selections are in order of preference as usual. Haydock: 2.05 Bollin Felix, Boston Blue, Western Pearl, Saggiatore, L Frank Baum, Montparnasse, Activate 2.35 Show Rainbow, Cape To Rio, Dozy Joe, Belle Bayardo, Oor Jock, Rhythm of Light, Le Chevalier Choisi 3.05 Vita Nova (Nap), Never Forget, Gallic Star, Western Pearl, Bramalea, Meeznah, All Analena 3.35 Beacon Lodge (N.b.), Border Patrol, Rainfall, Main Aim, High Standing, Genki Newmarket: 2.20 Humdrum, Catalyze, Buckland, Cruiser, Anoint, My Vindication 2.50 Buthelezi, Naqshabban, Measuring Time, Picture Editor, Loving Spirit, Hurricane Higgins, Specific Gravity, Cai Shen 3.25 Apollo D’Negro, Jack Smudge, Madany, Avonmore Star, Bathwick Bear, Forty Proof, El Viento Beverley: 3.45 Cravat, Hamza, Arnold Layne, Monnoyer, Fulbright, Gabrial, He’s So Cool, Caspar Netscher Good Luck!

The Blades saw their hopes of lifting the FA Youth Cup for the very first time dashed by an expensively-assembled Manchester United Academy on Monday evening. The aggregate score of 6-3 does not do the Blades justice as they were in the prestigious final for long periods but the only reward in the second leg was a second half goal from Joe Ironside as Manchester United strikers Ravel Morrison and Will Keane each grabbed a brace. Cheered on by more than 6,000 Blades fans from across the Pennines, John Pemberton’s young side battled gamely in the Theatre of Dreams. Boss Pemberton named an unchanged team for the second leg, sticking with the same 16 that were on duty for the first leg six days earlier. Manchester United also fielded the same starting line up. The home team started the brighter and created the early opportunities. Van Velzen shot wide after cutting in from the left, whilst two efforts from the powerfully-built Pogba were blocked, all in the opening ten minutes. It took the Blades 15 minutes to work a chance and a second quickly followed. Firstly, from Barry’s cross, Slew shot after a neat turn but was off target and then Whitehouse sliced his effort wide, despite being afforded space. Manchester hit back with Morrison powering through, only to be denied by goalkeeper Long’s sprawling save, and then Pogba smacked another free-kick into the wall. There was a nervous moment soon after when skipper Whitehouse was felled with a clash of heads but after treatment he recovered to continue in the midfield. The home side survived when Ironside headed onto the roof of the net from a Gregory cross and the Red Devils then received another slice of luck to enable them to take the lead on 38 minutes. Kennedy headed out a cross from the right but Will Keane’s scuffed shot fell perfectly for MORRISON to fire into the corner of the net from 12 yards. Unfazed, the Blades hit back with a number of efforts. Whitehouse just failed to get on the end of Ironside’s pullback, Maguire headed wide from Montgomery’s cross and then Slew’s curler was wide on 42 minutes. The Blades, however, were dealt another blow as half-time approached. Kennedy headed off the line from Lingard’s effort but in the second minute of injury-time the home side added a second. Morrison’s run down the left caused problems and following his cross, referee Oliver pointed to the penalty spot, indicating that Kennedy had deflected the ball with his arm. WILL KEANE sent Long the wrong way with the spot-kick. It was the last act of the first half but the home side were the first to attack in the second, Long forced into an acrobatic effort to keep out Pogba’s longrange effort. The game was held up by a lengthy head injury sustained by Maguire and he was given an ovation from all sides of Old Trafford as he was stretchered off on 57 minutes - Spaniard Pomares was his replacement. England junior international Morrison went close to adding a third but fired wide as he was faced by the

BLADES YOUTH FALL IN THE FINAL

onrushing Long, the same two went head-to-head once again moments later and this time the Blades goalkeeper saved from an acute angle. Slew remained a threat to the home defence in the second half and forced a save from Johnstone on 68 minutes. Pemberton threw on Martin and changed to a 4-3-3 system but within moments, the home side added a third. MORRISON drifted across Kennedy and Barry and rifled across Long and into the bottom corner. The Blades, though, were given a little hope with the next attack on 73 minutes. Slew floated a cross beyond the home defence and IRONSIDE was ideally placed to slide the ball beyond Johnstone and into the net... at the end of the ground occupied by the travelling contingent. Pemberton’s last change was to introduce Wilkinson for goalscorer Ironside and the Blades continued to look energetic in the closing moments. It was from a breakaway from an attack by the visitors that Manchester United added their fourth on 82 minutes. McFadzean was caught in possession on the edge of the box and WILL KEANE netted his second, shooting across Long. As the Unitedites continued to sing until the final whistle, home goalkeeper Johnstone was forced into late saves from Martin and Harriott, whilst Blades defender Barry denied Will Keane a hat-trick with a goal-line clearance deep in the seven minutes of injury-time. The Blades stars of tomorrow applauded the backing of the supporters at the final whistle and then watched on as Manchester United were presented with the cup.

MOOSE LEAVES BIG HOLE TO FILL ICE HOCKEY By Sarah Youle

Sheffield Steelers’ Coach Ryan Finnerty has a big job to do in filling the role of record-breaking netminder, Ervins Mustukovs. “Moose”, as he became known to the fans, set several Elite League goal-tending records, including shut-outs, during the 2010-11 season. “In my own mind I know what I want.” said Finnerty of his netminder search, “I would like a younger goalie, one that is hungry to improve and move on to bigger and better things. I know that sounds strange to say I want a goalie who wants to do so well he can leave but that’s just the guy I want...I want an attitude as well, I guess I want a young Jody Lehman. A guy who wants to win so badly that he is obsessed. A guy who will make those around him accountable. I’ve played with and against a lot of good goalies, I think I have a pretty good read on what makes them tick...I’ve had a few names cross my desk but none of them stand out right now and scream ‘Sign Me’.” Steelers fans have until 6pm Tuesday May 31st to claim their Early Bird season ticket offer. For further information call the Steelers Office (0114 242 35 35). Thursday May 26th sees the Sheffield Steelers Supporters’ Club AGM take place in the Glacier Suite at Ice Sheffield. Doors open at 7pm for a 7:30pm start, and all SSSC members are welcome, though only Adult (18+) members are permitted to vote. You will need a valid 2010-11 membership card to enter the meeting and cast a vote.
