In today’s celebrity culture everybody, it seems, wants to be famous.<br />
Unfortunately, as television programmes like The X Factor show<br />
us, most of the people yearning for fame and all that comes with<br />
it, are, with good reason, doomed to disappointment. There’s good<br />
news, though, for truly talented youngsters. Robin Gair’s E Minor<br />
Pop Academy has had considerable success launching the careers of<br />
young singers who really can entertain. If you think your child can<br />
perform, and would benefit from a free trial day at the academy, read<br />
all about it in this <strong>issue</strong> of <strong>View</strong>.<br />
You might notice a different signature and photograph on this page<br />
this month. <strong>View</strong>’s launch editor, Rosemary Staal, who devoted five<br />
years to this magazine, has moved on to pastures new – and hotter.<br />
She plans to expand other aspects of her work as a freelance writer<br />
and spend more time in central Italy where she is planning and<br />
planting a garden at the farmhouse that she and her husband have<br />
owned for seven years. So far, she tells us, she’s managed to put out<br />
her back and acquire a fistful of blisters. Never mind Rosemary.<br />
Another glass of Chianti should help.<br />
Readers shouldn’t feel left out. Enter our competition this month<br />
and you might win three mixed cases of<br />
gorgeous New Zealand wine, courtesy of<br />
online wine retailer www.winethief.co.uk.<br />
The wine won’t transport you to Italy, or even<br />
New Zealand, but with 36 bottles to get<br />
through, you probably won’t mind.<br />
