RE-UPHOLSTERY

CHARITY EXPANDS INTO CITY CENTRE Creative Arts Development Space (CADS) are adding a further two new locations to the four buildings it runs. These two new buildings are in the city centre and have been provided through the city council and a private landlord with the aim of stimulating temporary use of empty space. The first new building, taken on in partnership with re-generation social enterprise Common People, is at 18-22 Union St (a former council department) and includes four floors of ex-office and retail space. The Union Street

location also houses a University of Sheffield project and an office for local charity Roundabout who provide short term accommodation for young homeless people. A second space in the Cultural Industries Quarters (CIQ) is expected to be confirmed later this month. Both of these buildings are earmarked for development in the future but in the short term they will provide studios, a co-working hub and exhibition space to the creative entrepreneurs of Sheffield. The long term social aim of this project is to allow Sheffield people

with an idea to have easy access to space with as little barriers to entry as possible. Once the burden of excessive paperwork and large investment is removed, a much greater number of people will be given the opportunity to start something new. The goal is to bring life into empty buildings . The concept behind this project is about utilising ‘meanwhile space’. This idea is to use spaces in the short term as they await redevelopment. This is a global movement that incorporates retail start-ups, hotdesking and short term lets.

One place where this concept has been particularly successful for redevelopment is Newcastle, Australia (another ex-industrial steel town). From May 11th – 18th Shefﬁeld is being visited by Marcus Westbury from Newcastle who is giving talks to the public and liaising

with Sheffield City Council and various studio providers to assist Sheffield in its redevelopment. Marcus is advising the city on how to best create a blueprint for Sheffield redevelopment with a specific focus on retail in the city centre where 18% of shops are currently empty.

Copley’s Column

The big shock of the week, and a huge disappointment to me was the news on Thursday from my pal Becky Measures that she and her co-host of Peak F.M breakfast show had left the radio station. This highly professional team have for the past twelve years been the eyes and ears of North East Derbyshire, keeping their audience up to date with the latest travel news and school closures in the wintertime. They are taking up a new challenge at Viking Radio, based in Hull and will be a great loss to Peak. My morning listening will also be heading in the same direction when they start at Viking F.M. on the seventeenth of March. I did find it a bit petty of Peak allowing Becky some airtime on Friday morning to say goodbye yet refusing the same to Sean. He had to say his goodbyes on a video that he recorded and put on Facebook. I would like to take this opportunity to wish them both well in their new venture and think that Peak F.M.’s loss is certainly Viking Radio’s gain. Becky is to still reside in the Chesterfield area where she will continue to carry out her charity work for breast cancer. She and her mum Wendy Watson have both had preventative double mastectomies due to a history of mortalities in their family through breast cancer. Wendy was the first in the country to do this and it is a miracle that she managed to have it done, particularly when I recall as a young boy having regular bouts of tonsillitis and the doctors refusing to remove my tonsils on the basis that they were extremely healthy. Russ Dennett’s open mic night continues to provide a few surprise guests and this week I was delighted to see Billy Martin attend. I used to love his ‘in the spotlight’ nights at the Blue Stoops. This night has really taken off with more and more people attending every week. Thursday night was busy at the Victoria, not surprising when the artiste appearing was Rachel Raynor. It was nice to see other artistes in attendance supporting her, namely Diana Edwards, Hannah Lily, Emma Rossi

and Karen Gilmore and the men were ably represented by pub regular and guitar maestro Russ Dennett. Saturday night at the Victoria was busier than New Year’s Eve with two birthdays Richard Ironside and Ian Wainwrght being well entertained by top local band Junkyard Dog. Another music venue will be opening on the High Street in Dronﬁeld and I will be reporting on this nearer to the opening night. Gary and Ellie from Cabaret played their last gig on Saturday night at Crookes club, retiring after twenty two years in the business. I am sure you will loin with me in wishing them well in their retirement and I wish them my best wishes for the future.

We are delighted to announce that Sheffield’s Motorpoint Arena was again recognised in Pollstar Magazine’s Year End Worldwide Ticket Sales Top 200 Venue List. The Motorpoint Arena was ranked at #18 on the international list with over 500,000 tickets sold in 2013 at the Arena and this was in the year that the building was closed for over 2 months to enable the multi-million pound refurbishment of the venue. General Manager Rob O’Shea said “We are proud to be recognized as a Top 200 Venue in the World and it is no mean feat to be the 18th busiest Arena in the World in the same year that we were closed for a significant period in order to undertake a major improvement project. This highlights once again that Sheffield is a successful market for world class entertainment.” In the same Pollstar list the Motorpoint Arena also hosted 10 of the World’s Top 100 touring shows in 2013 and Live Nation, who manage the Motorpoint Arena on behalf of Sheffield International Venues (SIV), being named as the World’s #1 concert promoter selling over 33.2 million tickets. The Arena has a diverse diary of events for 2014 including;- Arenacross; Disney On Ice; Strictly Come Dancing Live; Justin Timberlake; Russell Howard; Jack Whitehall; Miranda Hart; Torvill & Dean’s Dancing On Ice Final Tour; Drake; Gary Barlow; McBusted; Cirque du Soliel; WWE; Katy Perry; Kings of Leon; Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway; Lee Evans; The Spanish Riding School of Vienna; John Bishop & many more to be announced shortly…

Weekly Wit With... ALBERT SNODGRASS

Bought some ‘rocket salad’ yesterday, but it went off before I could eat it! --------------------------------------------------A teddy bear is working on a building site. He goes for a tea break and when he returns he notices his pick has been stolen. The bear is angry and reports the theft to the foreman. The foreman grins at the bear and says “Oh, I forgot to tell you, today’s the day the teddy bears have their pick nicked.” --------------------------------------------------Just got back from my mate’s funeral. He died after being hit on the head with a tennis ball. It was a lovely service. --------------------------------------------------Phoned up to book tickets for an Elvis tribute act, was told to press 1 for the money & 2 for the show. --------------------------------------------------Job interviews are so silly, they always ask the same mundane questions. Like “Why are you naked?” --------------------------------------------------I have a 48” snowboard for sale in a small ads paper. *SNOWBOARD FOR SALE* Unwanted gift, call for details. A guy called earlier. “Is it four feet?” “Of course it is!” I replied, “You don’t snowboard on your sodding hands!” Idiot. --------------------------------------------------Technology has come on so far recently. Just today a policeman told me about a jumper that you can actually use as a phone. After stopping me in my car he said. “If you insist on making calls when you’re driving at least use a hands free set or pull over”. “Wow! what an age we live in.” I said. --------------------------------------------------I got cold feet on my wedding day. I was so drunk I forgot my shoes. --------------------------------------------------I had to send in a duplicate application to get a job making retro cars at Citroen. They needed 2 CVs. --------------------------------------------------My mate went to the toilet as soon as we got to the pub so I went to the bar and got the drinks. As he came back he very slowly walked wide away from the seats at the bar. “What the hell was all that about? “ I asked him. “I have been to the doctors today with stomach trouble, and he says I have to be very careful when I pass a stool,” he replied.

DEACON BLUE FOREST LIVE DATES ANNOUNCED Deacon Blue have announced concerts as part of the Forestry Commission’s Forest Live music series. Performing in spectacular woodland locations around the country the shows will be their only headline shows in England this Summer. Deacon Blue are one of the most respected of all Scottish bands. Their melodic pop-rock style gained a fervent fan base through the release of several classic albums like ‘Raintown’, ‘When The World Knows Your Name’ and ‘Fellow Hoodlums’. With jazz and soul inspired melodies, the song-writing skills of front man Ricky Ross are illustrated through the diversity of their repertoire with deﬁning singles including ‘Real Gone Kid’, ‘When Will You (Make My Telephone Ring)?’, ‘Chocolate Girl’, ‘Wages Day’, ‘Fergus Sings The Blues’, ‘Twist and Shout’, ‘Your Town’ and ‘Dignity’. In 2012 Deacon Blue released their ﬁrst album in over a

decade, The Hipsters, which went Top 20 and was supported by a sold out UK tour. Forest Live is an independent programme organised by the Forestry Commission bringing music to new audiences without commercial branding or sponsorship. Income from the concerts is spent on improving the woodland for both people and wildlife. Commenting on the Forest Live dates, Ricky Ross said, “This is a new adventure for the band. We are looking forward to bringing the full Deacon Blue live experience to these unique locations and we really hope you can join us.” Deacon Blue plus guests will be performing on Saturday 28 June at Dalby Forest, Nr Pickering, N Yorks. Tickets £40.70 (including booking fee) go on sale from 9.00am Friday 28 February from 03000 680400 or buy online www.forestry.gov.uk/music More information can be found at www.deaconblue. com and www.forestry.gov.uk/music

The Moon’s connection with a dynamic T-Square as the week begins, can pave the way for a decision or even a U-turn. If you’ve been looking for ways to improve your life, this blend of energies might push you to consider a new direction. Call for more news and astral advice…

Someone’s unasked for opinions could stir up your feelings. Whatever the scenario, you may be tempted to compromise. Yet, in this instance, standing up for your viewpoint might give a future warning. Later in the week, someone can become more than just a friend. Call for more advice…

Putting words to feelings might be hard, especially as this week’s inﬂuences involve a powerful conﬁguration that amps up the tension. Yet, if a problem has continually evaded you, Jupiter’s forward motion may bring clarity, setting you on the right track. Call for more astral advice…

Your daily schedule could be unsettled. Yet, there could be a deeper issue at work, as certain activities might have outlived their usefulness. If so, it can be time for a rethink. The domestic scene can also appeal as Venus glides into Aquarius. Call for more news and astral advice…

As Venus joins Mercury in Aquarius, ﬂights of fancy may set you thinking of travel plans or the enjoyment of studying a subject that completely absorbs you. Indeed, scheduling time for personal pleasures this week, can give you a new lease of life. Call for more news and advice…

Your ability to sell an idea could be at a peak, as your naturally curious nature might involve you with those who are interested in your take on things. Information gathering could also be required if you need to make a decision. Meanwhile, Venus amps up your fun loving side. Call for more…

Be clear about what you want, and the path to getting it can be swifter. Meanwhile, intense emotions could have something to communicate, channeling them through art or even journaling, could help you understand and express yourself more easily. Call for more news…

Decision time may be coming up, as this week’s Sun Pluto connection might coincide with a turning point and a chance for change. There’s more too, as Jupiter pushes forward, enhancing relationship potential within your love and social life. Call for more news and astral advice…

The joy of teamwork might enhance your social life and liven up a key relationship too. Along with this, a focus on dreaming and deepening your soul connection could intensify. The potential for “ah ha” moments from this week, can encourage you to follow your star. Call me for more…

A brainwave might encourage a change of plan, and though life could get hectic as a result, it could save time and money in the long-term. Feelings may be energized too, as Venus enters your sign engaging your passion and uplifting your mood. Call for more news and advice…

A desire for change can see you acting on impulse, Virgo. Try to balance a potentially rebellious streak with an earthy appreciation of consequences. On another note, a friend’s knack for perceiving subtleties could be a source of comfort and inspiration. Call for more astral advice…

Listen to your sixth sense regarding a big purchase. If the expense concerns you, maybe you should leave well alone for now. On another note, letting people in on your hopes and dreams, could mean that a friend or acquaintance can help you achieve one of them. Call for more…

And it is a Gold that’s not awarded lightly. The Carlsberg Gold Award is given only to those licensed free trade venues which have demonstrated the very best in product quality.

After completing a Cellar Training Course organised by Carlsberg, Co-Manager Louise Nield was awarded the near perfect score of 99/100. Said Louise, “I didn’t even know we were being marked by Carlsberg during the course so I was extremely surprised and delighted that we have won the award. When Carlsberg arrives it is perfect and our job is to make sure that our quality control is too. But just what and where is the Hillsborough Sports Arena? Louise’s co-Manager Denise Ward explains ‘’People think we’re part of the council and while we work closely with them, we are not’’ “We are a completely independent, self sustaining registered charity; devoted entirely to our aims of developing and supporting junior sporting opportunities. We also allow other groups to use our facilities in order to fund raise for their own charities and good causes, including Weston Park Hospital, Amy’s Retreat, Abilitynet and the Ray of Hope. All individuals, organisations and businesses using Hillsborough Arena can be assured that their money is put back into the community.” Denise says that the Arena is “the best hidden jewel in Sheffield.” It is located at the edge of Hillsborough Park on Middlewood Road, almost in the centre of Hillsborough’s shopping area.

HillsboroughAren

INSIDE & OUTSIDE The huge site and large, modern arena is a sports and events venue, whose many activities are best described as being held “inside & outside.” Inside, the Arena hosts many sports training events. Kick Boxing and Ju-Jitsu take place every evening from Monday to Thursday. As a wedding venue, up to 250 guests can be catered for and there is tremendous flexibility built into the packages. Basically, you can book the venue and either bring your own food and still order hot snacks to be included if you wish; or opt for the varied in-house catering facilities. At the bar, guests can choose from a wide selection including Carlsberg, San Miguel, Somersby, and Tetley’s, plus a wide range of bottled drinks. All of the favourite spirits are available plus soft drinks and the bar is also open to the public. Birthday parties (kids love it here) are also catered for and the Arena’s Football Parties for Kids are extremely good value. For example, 10 kids can play from 4.00pm to 6.00pm on weekdays for only £60, which includes food (but bring your own cake and referee!) Recently, private businesses have been discovering the Arena and it is proving popular for conferencing and events, especially as delegates can use the outside facilities for team building activities. Inside are all you would expect, large modern rooms, breakout rooms, exhibition space, catering can be pre-ordered or delegates can use the Arena’s own Café, which is also open to the public at weekends from 10am. There is a large car park and the great location and transport links are very attractive. Supertram and main bus routes

are on the doorstep plus there is easy access to and from the city centre and M1. Outside, there are two full size grass pitches for football and rugby plus a 3G (all weather) pitch, with three 5 a side pitches, also suitable for match play for up to under 10s. In fact junior football is a prime activity. Hillsborough Arena is host to no fewer than eighteen junior football teams and four rugby teams. Football is spread throughout three clubs: Steel City Girls, Hillsborough Pumas and Hallamshire Boys, with Hillsborough Hawks being the Rugby team. There is always a demand from adult football teams who are welcome when possible but slots are primarily for the

juniors. Other outside events held at the Arena include car shows, tournaments and festivals, car boot sales, competitions such as It’s a Knockout, dog shows and race nights. So it seems that Denise is right to say that the Arena is a hidden jewel, discovered by the local community but attractive to so many more businesses, groups and individuals throughout Sheffield. Whatever your event, conferencing or sports needs, give the Arena a call, you can be sure that they can accommodate a huge range of requirements, inside and outside.

NEWS & INFORMATION

PLAN TO REDUCE HOSPITAL WAITS IN SHEFFIELD Hospital chiefs in Sheffield are launching an action plan to cut waiting times amid concern over delays for outpatients. More than 27,000 patients are currently on the waiting list for an outpatient appointment at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, according to the most recent figures. The statistics show that, at the end of December, 13,107 people had been waiting more than five weeks, compared to 11,560 the previous month – a 13 per cent rise. The delays meant that, for two months in a row, the trust narrowly missed its target to treat 95 per cent of non-admitted patients within 18 weeks. Kirsten Major, director of strategy and operations, said Sheffield’s waiting times were ‘among the lowest in the NHS’. But Ms Major added: “For the last few years we have seen an increase in the number of patients choosing to have their treatment with us and this extra demand means we have to look at improving the processes we currently use so that we can treat patients as efficiently and timely as possible. Some of the actions we are considering include working with GPs to look at having predominantly electronic referrals, rather than paper, and ensuring certain parts of the process are done within a shorter time period – for example, ensuring a patient’s first appointment takes place within five weeks of receiving the GP referral, to allow us to have more time in the 18 weeks to carry out tests and ultimately complete treatment”. “We will be working with staff and GPs to explore taking proposals forward”. The report said staff involved in recording waiting times will be retrained, and also warned: “Recent performance, and that expected in coming months, is likely to be below the required levels”.

DIG DEEP FOR OUR WOMEN OF STEEL

It has been a year since Sheffield City Council launched the ‘Women of Steel’ fundraising appeal, calling on people to come forward to help raise £150,000 for a permanent memorial to Sheffield’s inspiring women. Already just over two thirds of the fundingtarget has been raised. The Council is renewing its plea for Sheffield residents and businesses to get involved to help raise the last £40,000 needed to produce a figurative statue made of bronze which will be in Barkers Pool. This week (19 February) the Council’s Cabinet will be asked to approve the release of funds so that acclaimed artist Martin Jennings can start work on the full size model for the statue, but the additional £40,000 is needed before the statue can actually be produced. Councillor Julie Dore said: “As we begin to mark the centenary of the First World War it is important to remember that Sheffield women rallied to help the country during both World Wars contributing significantly to the war effort and helping to change the workplace and the world we live in today.” The life sized statue, of two women arm

in arm, is by artist Martin Jennings who worked closely with the Women of Steel to come up with the design. Martin, who is world recognised artist, most famous for his Bentjeman statue in St Pancras station, wanted the statue to capture the camaraderie, and pride of these remarkable women. Woman of Steel Ruby Gascoigne said: “I worked 12 hours a day, six days a week. I only had Saturdays off and I was 20 years old. I gave up my youth to work in the factories. “Times were tough in 1941, as a country we had our backs against the wall. We worked flat out for the work effort and we were just young girls. It breaks my heart that we haven’t been recognised and everyone else has been, I just want people to please give what they can so we can have a lasting memory of what we did.” Contact: www.justgiving.com/womenofsteel www.sheffield.gov.uk/womenofsteel Women of Steel Appeal, PO Box 4886, Sheffield, S11 0FF Please make cheques payable to ‘Women of Steel SYCF’ and don’t forget to include your name and address.

thus using less energy. Put lids on your saucepans to stop the heat escaping and reduce cooking time. Cooking with a steamer means you can cook several types of vegetable on only one ring. Microwave more Using a microwave is quicker and more energy efficient than using an oven. Use microwave to warm food up. Making toast in a toaster is more efficient than putting it under the grill. The perfect cuppa! When boiling the kettle, only use as much water as you need. Boiling too much uses more energy and wastes water if you refill the kettle each time you use it. Most modern kettles have a gauge so you can work out the exact right amount. Also try and descale your kettle regularly for lime scale. Keep it closed Try not to leave your fridge door open. Each minute the door is open takes three minutes of energy to cool down again. Try to keep your fridge and freezer three quarters full and defrost them regularly. You can put bottles of water in your fridge to fill it up if it’s empty. Never put hot food in your fridge or freezer as it makes it work harder than it needs to. Heating Turn down the heat Turning the thermostat down by 1°C can cut more than 10% from the average central heating bill. Set your water cylinder at 60°C to use less energy. Layer up Instead of turning the heating up, put on another layer of clothing. This will reduce your heating bill. Time it right Time your heating to go off 30 minutes before you leave the house, and come on again 30 minutes before you come home. Put foil behind your radiators Putting reflective foil behind your radiators will reflect heat back into the room and increase the efficiency of the radiator. Also make sure there is no furniture in front of your radiators. Close your curtains This will help stop heat escaping through the windows. Never put your curtains in front of a radiator though – doing so will block the heat. Mind the gap Keep windows and doors closed. If there are gaps underneath internal doors, roll up a blanket to keep draughts out. TIP: To help find the source of a draught, light a candle and use it to find the source. By moving the candle around the edge of a window or door frame, the flame will flicker where the draught is coming in. Use draught proofing strip around the frame of the door. You can also put masking tape around where your skirting boards meet the floor (especially if you have a cellar underneath your front room). Cosy up at bedtime Rather than having your heating on overnight in the Winter, use a thicker duvet to keep your warm.

FULL PAYMENT REQUIRED AT TIME OF BOOKING

Joanne Gregory is an extremely gifted clairaudient medium. Her huge following and repeat clients in the UK and celebrity clients around the world are testimony to her accuracy yet she remains down to earth and ‘real’. Joanne’s good friend Rick Allen of Def Leppard speaks highly of her talents and says that she puts the ‘normal’ into paranormal. Joanne’s family realized she was gifted at just three years old when she expressed an understanding of the universe far greater than possible for her years. Although Joanne handles her amazing connection with the spirit world with humour and humility today it hasn’t always been that way. As a girl she felt different and awkward and tried to ignore her gift during her childhood and teens. She says she never really understood that the regular strange occurrences she was experiencing were in fact signs of spirit presence. It was in her late twenties, after a particularly painful personal experience at the loss of her baby daughter, that she began to search for her purpose in life.

Joanne’s pilgrimage towards understanding her gift, the spirit world and the Universe has brought her knowledge that raises her above others in this field. Her workshops, a fascinating mix of science and spirit, are enlightening. Her entertaining evenings of clairvoyance often sell out in days as Joanne delivers indisputable proof of the survival of our spirit with compassion and humour. Joanne has worked for the national trust for over 6 years in some of the most haunted stately homes in the UK and cleared ‘unwanted’ HillsboroughStadium presences throughout the country, even SOUTH YORKSHIRE PREMIER CONFERENCE & EVENTS VENUE removed entities attached to people.

VOICE OF THE THE HAZY SHADE NIGHTINGALE OF WINTER RADIO NIGHTINGALE by Mel Jaques



Radio Nightingale is on the search for new volunteers who can be involved in helping to provide our special service to cheer up the patients of the Rotherham General Hospital. We’re particularly looking for someone who has some graphic design skills and experience to help with our promotional items. This volunteer role can be really flexible as it could be completed from home, although it would be helpful if regular visits to the studio were possible. We’re also looking for someone to help out on Wednesday’s between 9am and 2pm. This volunteer would help with answering phones, processing patient requests and retrieving CD’s as a minimum. It has been medically proven that ‘doing good’ can give you a heightened sense of well being and a stronger immune system so volunteering is good for the soul. Whether you’re currently studying, in work or out of work volunteering is a great way to develop new skills, build your confidence and show future employers that you’ve got drive and initiative. Volunteering offers the chance to have amazing experiences, make friends with people from all walks of life, and who knows, perhaps even find love! I’d also like to make a special mention to the anonymous donator of a collection of pre-decimal stamps that we received this week.

With all the high winds and heavy rain around in the last couple of weeks, may be you’ve stayed huddled up indoors watching the goings on in Sochi? Once again as a nation we have done tremendously well at the Winter Olympics. Snowboarding, Bobsleigh or perhaps you’ve improvised with the kitchen sweeping brush like me, pretending you’re a champion Curler? It certainly has made for interesting and rather riveting viewing. I must say though, enjoying the view on an HD Telly for the ﬁrst time, the snow looks a heck of a lot more appealing there than it would through my window sat on my driveway! Here’s to the Commonwealth Games and hopefully another medal haul in the summertime. As we wave farewell to the colder months of January and February, this is in fact a “Cheerio” from me as well. This week’s is my ﬁnal column I’m due to write for Magic AM. You will still be able to read all about what the radio station is up to though by continuing to pick up a copy of the Mercury newspaper every week. There’ll still be news about what’s coming up and what we’re giving away. Thanks for reading my rambles and rumbles, and don’t forget to join us for Glenn’s Breakfast Show and across the day on 990, 1305 and 1548 AM for just great songs. Take care and bye bye for now

CLUBHISTORIANS.CO.UK by Ruth Cherrington

I often hear news about England’s ‘oldest’ club: unfortunately it’s usually about them coming to the end of the road. Whilst lamenting yet another closure, I often question the claim to be the oldest club. It is hard to say exactly which one is or was the oldest, as proper records were not kept for many clubs set-up in the mid-19th century. But since the closure of the Coventry WMC in 2008, originally opened in 1860, that status is usually awarded to the Walthamstow WMC. This week newspaper headlines declared the Anstice Memorial Institute in Shropshire, on the verge of closure, as the ‘oldest’. At 146 years old, it clearly has had a great history so the closure is a huge loss. It seems that their adherence to a ‘no women members’ rule has contributed to its demise. Women could work behind the bar and join as Associate Members, as used to be case in many CIU clubs. But the Equality Act of 2010 which prohibits this type of unequal membership arrangement, caught up with the Anstice Memorial Institute. At an extraordinary general meeting held last week, the male members elected to stick to their rules disallowing women full rights: 246 out of 300. Now in breach of the law, the club cannot continue. Another pressing problem is that the club is that it is housed in a Grade II listed building: beautiful to look at but in need of extensive and costly repairs. When a surveyor inspected in 2010, members were told they needed £50,000 to repair the brickwork and meet safety standards. They tried to obtain lottery funding but the male-only membership rule disqualiﬁed the club. It seems that the membership’s view was that calling time was the preferable option although depriving themselves of this social venue which has four bars, snooker and pool rooms as well as a ballroom. Generations of men have used the clubs, along with women associates, but the next generation will ﬁnd the doors closed. The club was built in memory of John Anstice, the proprietor of the local Madeley Wood Company, which had coal mining and iron founding interests in the area. Anstice died, aged 57, in 1867. It’s said that the area came to a standstill as the local works, shops and schools closed on the day of his funeral. In December 1867, it was decided to build a working men’s club by the local people in his honour. I can hope the club had a good send off.

THE BRIT AWARDS 2014 By KT Evans

What a night! Not only did the BRIT Awards 2014 showcase how much talent our country harbours within the international music scene, but also signified just how strong Sheffield is within the current market. With the steel cities alternative rock pack Arctic Monkeys scooping up two of the most infamous awards – best British group along with best album for their 2013 release ‘AM,’ it seemed the night was in full celebration of our fine city. If similar to us you were anticipating the BRIT awards for a strong three weeks before it was aired, then you share the same feeling of pure, unadulterated pride. As the world is well aware, the UK has a strong thread of music running through its veins, having produced legendary performers, artists and musicians through all ages of music. However, the night was all about one band alone…that being Sheffield’s very own Arctic Monkeys. Having recently released their fifth studio album ‘AM’ back in September 2013, the four piece from High Green are the ultimate masters of creating atmospheric, intricately woven smash hits. Not only this, they also scooped best British band, ensuring the alt rockers left showered with the accolades they deserved. Opening the show with the first single off their release, ‘R U Mine?’ thrust us all into the life and soul of the biggest music award show on the calendar. Did you catch Alex Turner’s acceptance speech? Entwined

with haunting metaphors, taking us on a twisted journey into the mind of the best lyricist of our time, in honour of our ultimate favourite front man…here it is…”That rock and roll-it just won’t go away. It might hibernate from time to time and sink back into the swamp. But the cyclical nature of the universe in which is exists demands it adheres to some of its rules. But it’s always waiting there, just around the corner, ready to make its way back through the sludge and smash through the glass ceiling looking better than ever. It seems like it’s fading away sometimes. But it will never die. And there’s nothing you can do about it.” And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why we are so proud to be from Shefﬁeld, why we pride ourselves not only on the talent our grass roots city has produced but also the ethos of our people, the passion we omit and ‘go-get-it’ attitude we all hold within. Arctic Monkeys, once again, we salute you. The Arctic’s only Yorkshire date announced so far this year is at the Leeds Festival over the August Bank Holiday, more details can be found at www.leedsfestival.com

Within the very epicentre of summer festival madness, Y-Not Fest emerges as one of Yorkshires ﬁnest showcasing, celebrating not only the UK’s most exciting live bands, but groups from an international reach as well. Throwing together an eclectic mix of acts across the three day weekender within a situation no less than strikingly beautiful, Pikehall near Matlock is to be transformed into this year’s musical mecca for us all to truly sink our teeth into. If you have yet to shake the hands of YNot Festival, we strongly suggest you get familiar with one of our region’s most up-coming live musical platforms. With 2014 holding its strongest line-up yet, the small but perfectly formed event is to be headlined by Dizzee Rascal. A platinum selling artist having sold over 300,000 records worldwide, the grime star has won an accolade of awards including winner of a Mercury Award, a BRIT along with best international act by the BET association in 2010. The stars chart topping hits include “Fix Up Look Sharp,” “You’ve Got The Dirty Love” and “Come Dance Wiv Me,” ensuring Dizzee Rascal is one of the UK’s most prominent urban performers. Alongside Mr Rascal, YNot will also be headlined by indie pack White Lies. Forming in 2007, the three piece from London have released three studio albums along with producing arguably one of the most important alternative rock tracks “Farewell To The Fairground” back in 2009. Winners of a MOJO, Q and Big TV awards, White Lies are returning to Yorkshire with a polished, preened and hugely anticipated live performance. As with the nature of YNot Festival to support

Party legend Andrew W.K is set to perform, along with hardcore clan Cerebral Ballzy aswell as the Blackout.

Other bands to include on the YNot 2014 bill include folk singer Newton Faulkner, alt indie group The Fratellis, anthemic rock band Lonely the Brave, cock-rockers Reel Big Fish and rap artist Itch.

SP RT

angler’s corner

by Clint Walker

A debate for you this week....one which has been doing the rounds on social media (and does every year) about the Close Season; should we have one? When I was a lad, a long time ago, the close season was a thing I hated; rivers shut up shop as did many stillwaters and I detested it; I wanted to fish on regardless, without any consideration for the unfortunate fish, I just wanted to go and catch them. As years have passed, many commercial type venues have relaxed or abandoned the close season, perhaps without too much detriment, but many do still close when carp begin to spawn; fair enough, but why just carp? Because they make a noise and are easily visible, or because they are the most popular fish? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Closed due to perch spawning sign?? Now I’m a little more experienced, much longer in the tooth, and understand the sound reasoning behind the idea of a closed season, I agree with it. In my opinion, all fish when spawning are vulnerable to loss for a variety of reasons and shouldn’t be fished for, but how do you decide when that period is? The fish certainly don’t abide by the prescriptive 16th March to glorious 16th June do they??? I’m not a global warming tree hugger who believes the claptrap pedalled by Government ministers with fingers in green energy and associated construction projects either, but I do believe the weather is just one thing playing a part in the variation we see each year. Take this year as an example; very little snow, hardly

LOCAL FOOTBALL, FISHING, HORSE RACING EVERY WEEK

This Saturday there are seven races on Channel 4 with four coming from the main meeting at any ice but plenty of extra water and it will certainly Newbury and three from Doncaster. Check on change the breeding pattern of our quarry again this the day to see where selections run as a few hold season. That is just part of the natural climatic cycle more than one entry for races on Saturday. we currently find ourselves in prior to the next Ice Age, not Government target driven, money making green rubbish! Taking that into account, the close season should perhaps be brought forward this year to take pressure of the fish such as perch and pike who always spawn early anyway? When we have particularly cold winters followed by long drawn out spring periods, then maybe move it the other way? How about the extended period when no anglers are on the bank? Swims become overgrown and unmanageable, clubs, shops and venues lose money, no anglers are about checking for waterfowl or pollution issues, poachers can have three months of free ‘fishing’ without fear of discovery and otter and other predator populations are unchecked, unmonitored and unnoticed. There is no guarantee the fish are spawning either! I agree there should be periods when fish are left to do what they need to do. I also think the current close season is wrong, and that fishery owners or clubs should be given leeway to close their fisheries at different times of the year without fear of prosecution but for a period totalling three months when conditions indicate spawning is likely. Those who choose to close when angler numbers reduce in winter will suffer when anglers catch a pristine carp full of spawn later in the year which is then lost due to stress.. Those anglers will soon go elsewhere, to a properly cared for fishery and lessons will quickly be learned by owners...protect the fish or lose out. Although I think the close season should still exist in some format, I still hate it.....but it’s not about me, it’s about the preservation of our fishery stocks in years to come and the continuation of angling as a sport; protect it now or bemoan its demise later.....
