<strong>February</strong> It’s the Month of Love for Norfolk’s Cancer charity Big C...<br />
Have a heart this <strong>February</strong> and give a bit of<br />
time and affection for the Big C’s “Month of<br />
Love” campaign. If we whispered “Chocolate”<br />
in your ear…could you be tempted?<br />
The Norfolk based charity has teamed<br />
up with some of the county’s favourite<br />
restaurants, as they prepare for lovers to<br />
indulge in Valentine’s dinners, to tantalise<br />
your tastebuds with some delicious<br />
locally produced chocolates in return for a<br />
suggested donation.<br />
Here’s how to join in. Below are listed the<br />
restaurants participating in the scheme.<br />
When you finish your meal at any of these<br />
restaurants for your Valentine’s, a Kilner jar<br />
with delicious chocolates will be arrive on<br />
the table.<br />
All Big C asks is that you make a donation<br />
to indulge in a chocolate of your choice with<br />
your loved one?<br />
“It’s our 35th anniversary year and Valentines<br />
Day so we have to celebrate with chocolates.<br />
We hope lots of people will enter into the<br />
spirit of the scheme and realise all the money<br />
will be used to helping cancer patients and<br />
their families right here on their doorstep in<br />
Norfolk,” said Clive Evans, Director of Income<br />
Generation.<br />
The donations will be given to the Big C to<br />
help fund its support centres, research, lifesaving<br />
equipment purchases and education<br />
and are all pure profit as all the jars and<br />
chocolates have been kindly donated.<br />
The Big C is loving support from Norfolk<br />
Truffle Company, Gnaw and others for the<br />
chocolates and Kilner and Lakeland, Norwich,<br />
for the jars.<br />
The restaurants offering the scheme are:<br />
Stoke Mill, Stoke Holy Cross; Pedro’s Texmex<br />
Cantina, Chapelfield Gardens, Norwich; No1.<br />
Cromer; Marriott’s Warehouse, King’s Lynn.<br />

BY ZEE BATTERSBY<br />
I’m not old i’m<br />
retro<br />
I’ve just launched my<br />
new fashion website<br />
imnotoldimretro.co.uk<br />
Well hello there! I’m back with my monthly column… Ok so firstly a<br />
reminder about me. I’m Zena (Zee for short) I’m 42, a mother and a<br />
grandmother.<br />
So, here we are! Freezing<br />
<strong>February</strong>! These last few<br />
weeks have flown by.<br />
As well as fighting the cold,<br />
I’ve been put on to a low fat<br />
diet by my health consultant<br />
and this has forced me to<br />
change my eating habits, before<br />
I have my gallbladder removed.<br />
At first I was very sad. I love<br />
a cake and cream and cheese<br />
and of course chocolate...<br />
(sorry I drifted off then, I<br />
was at the cake counter in<br />
Waitrose)!<br />
My day job is in menu development<br />
at a large local brewery and I’m lucky<br />
enough to sit with two amazing<br />
nutritionists. They have taken me<br />
under their healthy wings and have<br />
opened my eyes to alternative<br />
options and places locally to indulge.<br />
One little such gem is NOURISH.<br />
Tucked away at the Back of Neals<br />
Yard Remedies in Abbey gate<br />
St Bury St Edmunds the café a<br />
bijou and friendly. Everything is<br />
cooked to order and is utterly<br />
delish! Catering for Vegans and<br />
Vegetarians, food intolerances and<br />
allergies it really is a lovely place.<br />
Most importantly they have a<br />
great selection of CAKE! So if like<br />
me you’re trying to be healthy but need A<br />
LOT of persuasion then give them a try.<br />
I’ve also been over to an amazing<br />
company called Ralph and Co. Tucked<br />
away in a barn on the outskirts of<br />
Cambridge, Ralph and Co is the Vision<br />
Of Karl Rutterford. His Aladdin’s cave<br />
of vintage props and hand painted<br />
fairground signs are really different and<br />
retro. I could have got lost for hours in<br />

FASHION<br />
there. If you’re looking for something really<br />
different for a party a wedding or your home<br />
give them a look.<br />
My blog is really taking off and this month I have<br />
been reviewing some really gorgeous products.<br />
Firstly WARPAINT this is an all-natural Teeth<br />
Whitener made from charcoal. If you want a<br />
more holistic approach to teeth whitening, then<br />
war paint is for you. Although you do look like<br />
a toothless pirate when it first goes on its worth<br />
it!! Use it as you would a normal toothpaste<br />
and watch your teeth get whiter. I’ve also been<br />
reviewing Matte Lipsticks for AVON. I’m in love<br />
with my MAC Matte lipstick at the moment so<br />
I will be comparing the Avon against the most<br />
popular Mac and L’Oreal lipsticks.<br />
All these reviews will be over on my<br />
blog.<br />
Of course I couldn’t get away with<br />
not mentioning Valentine’s day! If<br />
you’re stuck Dapper Fox have a<br />
lovely range of men’s accessories<br />
including some gorgeous leather<br />
hold alls and men’s grooming sets.<br />
SK Clinic + Spa have a range of<br />
facials specifically tailored to men<br />
and Smart Step in Abbeygate Street sell the<br />
most beautiful Men’s Shoes and Accessories.<br />
Give them a look if you want something really<br />
special.<br />
So the next few months are really busy for me<br />
here at <strong>Bounce</strong> Towers. I have a new section<br />
on my blog called “Ask the experts”. There will<br />
be lots of help and advice for women over 40<br />
from Hairdressers, stylists, make-up artists and<br />
nutritionists so if you have any queries then ask<br />
me them on my blog. I will put your queries to<br />
the experts and hopefully you will find it useful.<br />
Stay stylish - Love Zee x<br />

TIPS & ADVICE THIS SEASON<br />
SPRING/SUMMER<br />
Preview<br />
PART ONE<br />
With fashion show season<br />
underway, now is the perfect time<br />
to look ahead to emerging trends<br />
for the Spring/Summer season.<br />
Plus I’m up for any excuse to ignore dark cold<br />
skies currently looming outside of my window.<br />
First up, men’s trends…<br />
Shades of Green<br />
Once again green is a big feature on the runway.<br />
This works well with the military look still present<br />
on the high-street, as well as the single shade<br />
looks seen throughout the winter.<br />
Specifically, you’ll want to look out muted shades<br />
such as olive, moss, khaki and camo styles.<br />
Athleisure<br />
BY DANIEL FRANCIS<br />
Don’t blame me; I didn’t come up with the name.<br />
Still, questionable label or not, nothing is stopping<br />

FEBRUARY FEBRUARY <strong>2016</strong> | <strong>2016</strong> ISSUE | #40 ISSUE | #40 FASHION<br />
FASHION<br />
this growing trend from dominating the<br />
fashion shows. Essentially, Athleisure<br />
describes a sporty style worn outside of<br />
the gym for your everyday look.<br />
Perfect for those among us who want to<br />
give off the impression that we exercise<br />
without actually doing so…<br />
Outer-Layering<br />
This may seem like an odd choice for the<br />
warmer months but jackets on top of<br />
jackets can also be found on the runways<br />
this year.<br />
The denim jacket is heavily featured but if<br />
you’re going to see this look through the<br />
summer you’ll want to pair up lightweight<br />
materials such as linen and cotton. This also<br />
gives you the perfect chance to add some<br />
extra patterns and colour to your looks<br />
during a time when outfits can become<br />
quite plain (the hotter it gets the less we<br />
wear).<br />
Wider Trousers<br />
Again, something that’s been gaining<br />
popularity for the last couple of seasons<br />
in menswear; you won’t struggle to find wider<br />
boot cut trousers on the high-street this year.<br />
The skinny jean’s day truly is done (unless you’re<br />
Topman). If you’re still in a time of adjusting to<br />
this throwback look then opt for a slim or straight<br />
leg to ease yourself in.<br />

Rudimental<br />
Rudimental have announced dates for the summer, as part of Forest<br />
Live, the concert series promoted by the Forestry Commission where<br />
acts perform in unique woodland locations around the country.<br />
Rudimental’s debut album, ‘Home’, now<br />
double platinum selling over 600,000<br />
copies in the UK, spawned five huge hit<br />
singles including two UK Number Ones<br />
with ‘Feel The Love’ ft. John Newman<br />
and ‘Waiting All Night’ ft. Ella Eyre.<br />
Public adulation was reflected in industry<br />
accolades including a BRIT Award (Best British<br />
Single for ‘Waiting All Night’) and a MOBO Award<br />
(Best Album). Collectively, they have gone on to<br />
sell over 5 million singles worldwide and over 200<br />
million views across their YouTube channel and<br />
‘Waiting All Night’ alone has clocked up over 100<br />
million streams on Spotify.<br />
For their second album release, ‘We The<br />
Generation’ marks a progressive Rudimental, a<br />
genre-defying collective that continues to change<br />
the face of dance music not just within the UK<br />
music scene but globally. They have become<br />
recognised for discovering and nurturing the<br />
hottest new up and coming talent and their<br />
sophomore album continues this, introducing<br />
Anne-Marie, Will Heard, and with Mahalia on the<br />
title track. Further collaborations abound with<br />
established artists such as ‘New Day’ ft. Bobby<br />
Womack and the hit singles ‘Bloodstream’ and<br />
‘Lay It All On Me’ with Ed Sheeran. Renowned for<br />
their electric live performances, fans can expect a<br />
formidable set from the Hackney four-piece and<br />
their supporting cast.<br />
Forest Live is an independent programme<br />
organised by the Forestry Commission to bring<br />
forests to new audiences. Income generated from<br />
ticket sales is spent on protecting, improving and<br />
expanding England’s forests and woodlands and<br />
increasing their value to people and wildlife.<br />
Over Forest Live’s 15 years history, money raised<br />
has contributed to a wide range of projects, from<br />
wildlife conservation to making improvements for<br />
visitors. With everything required for a great night<br />
out, including full catering and bar facilities, the<br />
gigs are renowned for their relaxed atmosphere.<br />

Wedding Dress Shopping<br />
BY CATHERINE STARLING-GUNFIELD<br />
The wedding dress is a<br />
truly important part<br />
of any bride’s day and<br />
purchasing one is an<br />
incredibly exciting<br />
time.<br />
So after my experience shopping<br />
for my wedding dress, here are<br />
are some practical tips that I<br />
think might be helpful.<br />
Do not leave the purchase too<br />
late: Leave yourself enough<br />
time to save for a deposit and<br />
for alterations, start looking, if<br />
possible, around 16-18 months<br />
before the big day or as soon as<br />
you set a date.<br />
Think about the colour and tone of the dress:<br />
Chose one that suits you to make your skin glow and<br />
complement your hair colour.<br />
The weight of the dress:<br />
The dress should make you feel totally relaxed when<br />
wearing it and not too heavy for you.<br />
The shoes:<br />
Take your wedding shoes with you or shoes with similar<br />
height to what you will be wearing on the big day.<br />
Where to shop:<br />
Choose a reputable shop or designer you feel confident<br />
with and consider a local shop. It’s so much easier when<br />
going for fittings and paying deposits etc.<br />
More than the dress:<br />
Consider your overall ‘look’ and think about your hair style,<br />
jewellery, head pieces etc when trying on and think about<br />
whether you will need a shrug, fur coat, umbrella, or veil.<br />

WEDDING<br />
FEBRUARY FEBRUARY <strong>2016</strong> <strong>2016</strong> | ISSUE | ISSUE #40 | #40 WEDDING<br />
Time of year:<br />
The season, location and time<br />
of your wedding should be<br />
considered when choosing your<br />
dress.<br />
Styles:<br />
Try on every style available so<br />
you know what suits you and<br />
what doesn’t, even the styles you<br />
don’t like on the hanger or in a<br />
magazine can look very different<br />
when tried on.<br />
Expert advice:<br />
Listen to and take the advice<br />
from the bridal shop assistants,<br />
they are after all the experts.<br />
Be patient:<br />
Don’t settle on the first dress you<br />
try on, it’s not ‘always’ the one,<br />
trust me!<br />
It’s about you:<br />
Don’t get hung up on bridal<br />
magazines and the latest trends<br />
and styles. Your dress should<br />
be about you and your style;<br />
a wedding dress should be<br />
timeless.<br />
Lastly, just enjoy the moment; it’s<br />
the best shopping trip ever!<br />
Happy planning ...<br />

CUT ALL TIES THIS<br />
Valentines<br />
BY KAT BRANSBY<br />
As the January sales draw to<br />
an end and sudden flourishes<br />
of pink hearts and red roses fill<br />
the shops, it can only mean one<br />
thing, Valentines Day is just<br />
around the corner.<br />
It’s that time of year again where we are<br />
encouraged to express our affection with<br />
various (commercialised) gifts and romantic<br />
gestures, why?<br />
Because that’s what everyone else is doing<br />
right?!<br />
Now I am not a cynic, I love a good rom-com<br />
as much as the next person and I am a sucker<br />
for cards!<br />
But while on <strong>February</strong> 14th, love may be in<br />
the air, is it really something that we need to<br />
share?<br />
As a nation we seem to be living our lives<br />
through social media with the ability to share<br />
exactly what we are doing as we are doing it,<br />
at our fingertips.<br />
I, too, am guilty of this, but it seems that so<br />
little now is kept private.<br />
We no longer enjoy our lives ‘in the moment’,<br />
but rather through our phone screens so that<br />
others know we are there.<br />
32
FEBRUARY <strong>2016</strong> | ISSUE #40<br />
You only need to look at the TV coverage<br />
on New Years Eve to see that nearly every<br />
person was watching the fireworks display<br />
through their camera phones to share their<br />
‘experience’!<br />
It seems that we don’t just share a card with<br />
our loved ones anymore, in fact, we no longer<br />
share our lives with that one person.<br />
I guarantee that come Valentines Day this<br />
year, my news feed will be filled with images<br />
of gifts that people have received, ‘check<br />
ins’ of people at various romantic places and<br />
couples ‘selfies’.<br />
I will make a point this year of avoiding social<br />
media and sharing the day with the person<br />
who I genuinely want to share my life with.<br />
And for those singletons amongst us<br />
whose most dreaded day of the calendar<br />
year is Valentines day, I urge you to get off<br />
Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and to forget<br />
the facade that they create.<br />
We spend so much time comparing<br />
everyone’s seemingly wonderful, not to<br />
mention online, lives, with our own.<br />
Let us indulge in our own lives for a day and<br />
forget what everyone around us is doing.<br />
Embrace the true meaning of St Valentines<br />
and celebrate love, regardless of your<br />
relationship status, pander to a little self-love.<br />
We all deserve to treat ourselves every once<br />
in a while!<br />

Rachel Ducker speaks to Huey Morgan from<br />
the Fun Lovin’ Criminals about their live shows<br />
in <strong>February</strong> <strong>2016</strong> to celebrate and resurrect in<br />
all its glory one of the most important albums<br />
of 1996, ‘Come Find Yourself’.<br />
20 years on, this debut release for the group<br />
sounds as fresh and vibrant as it did that<br />
year, when it spent almost 12 months in the<br />
UK chart, becoming a soundtrack for the<br />
summer and peaking at No. 7. Huey Morgan,<br />
Brian Leiser and Frank Benbini will play the<br />
album live and in full for the very first time<br />
at O2 Academy venues in Leeds, Newcastle,<br />
and Oxford, as well as dates at Nottingham<br />
Rock City, Birmingham Institute, Manchester<br />
Cathedral and the capital’s stunning O2<br />
Shepherd’s Bush Empire.<br />
R: You are celebrating your 20th Anniversary<br />
this year by touring and re-releasing your<br />
1996 album ‘Come find yourself,’ what was the<br />
inspiration behind this?<br />
Obviously It wasn’t for money, we sold over ten<br />
million of those things, so we’re pretty good for<br />
that. It was mostly because a number of fans got<br />
in touch with us over the last couple of years and<br />
were really interested in kind of, celebrating the<br />
idea of something that they really held in high<br />
regard, that they really loved, and something that<br />
has been with them for two decades.<br />
As a musician you have to be humble with<br />
something like that, to the point that its not false<br />
humility, you really think about it and go ‘wow’<br />
we’ve been apart of so many people lives for<br />
over twenty years, it would be remissible of us<br />

not to celebrate that with the people. Once you<br />
make a record and you go through all the trials of<br />
tribulations of getting a record deal, and produce<br />
a first record with a major label, you have an idea<br />
of what you want to do, but not really an idea of<br />
what is ahead in the long run.<br />
When you look back on something like that, your<br />
really kind of, compelled to actually ‘get with<br />
the programme’ and go ‘wow yes you did do<br />
something that was pretty unique,’ and why not<br />
enjoy it, and celebrate it with the people you love.<br />
R: I think it’s a wonderful idea and to bring back<br />
all of the old songs and perform them live again,<br />
it will be quite nostalgic for some people.<br />
Yeah, we’re not really big on nostalgia, but we’re<br />
big on making an emotional connection with<br />
people, I think we always have been. Once this<br />
record came out it started getting well received<br />
by the listers, I mean, I’m not really to sure what<br />
critics got with it, I don’t really read press<br />
and stuff.<br />
You cant just be flippant about making a<br />
connection with somebody, let alone millions of<br />
people around the world. With something that<br />
was part of your heart and your mind for many,<br />
many years, its beyond the world nostalgia I think,<br />
you know, especially people like us who didn’t<br />
really get into it to be a celebrity or for<br />
the money.<br />
R: So, it’s for the love of it?<br />
Yeah, anything that really means anything in my<br />
life I’ve done for love, you know, and its important<br />
to look at things in general that kinda transcends<br />
a lot of the nonsense and labels that you’ve been<br />
given to explain things away, its really simple and<br />
that’s why things last as long as they do.<br />
R: Do you have a favourite track on the album<br />
and why?<br />
I answer that question often, and I think the best<br />
way to answer that is ‘yeah I have a favourite<br />
track, but what’s your favourite track’? That’s<br />
my favourite track, because that’s important to<br />
me, if someone has created something, I might<br />
have created it to a different reason that for what<br />
you appreciate it for, but the fact someone else<br />
outside of my brain can kinda, get with something<br />
I’ve created is flattering to the point of being<br />
dumfounded.<br />
When you’re a creative person and you come up<br />
with something that connects with somebody,<br />
be it “hello how are you,” or anything as trivial as<br />
that can, it kind of makes something a little bit<br />
more special.<br />
So, I always think the best way to answer that<br />
is ‘yeah I do but that’s not important anymore’.<br />
When you finish making a record and we’ve made<br />
a couple, it goes to print and people buy it, its<br />
no longer yours, its no longer yours... simple as<br />
that – the person who bought it makes it part of<br />
their lives.<br />
R: I can complete relate to that, as with <strong>Bounce</strong><br />
<strong>Magazine</strong> it is like ‘my baby’, every page I create<br />
and design I put my whole heart into it, so I<br />
can see where your coming from, but I think<br />
its really refreshing to speak to a musician who<br />
feels like that, and its for the love not the money.<br />
You can tell you have a passion.<br />
Well you know what, its interesting that you<br />
say that, were really kind of in the same boat,<br />
where you do what you do for love, I don’t think<br />
you did it for the money or to become famous.<br />
You did it because you were compelled to do<br />
something different and to reach people and<br />
bring a message that was a little bit different to<br />
everything else you saw and heard.<br />
And I think that’s kind of key right there, I mean,<br />
to do something that we did, when we did it, was<br />
so unique, but we didn’t think about it that much<br />
when we did it, because that’s how we were as<br />
people and even with your publication, I think<br />
what you do is very unique because it comes<br />

directly from you and every person is different<br />
and has a different perspective on life, you<br />
know, and I think when someone picks up your<br />
magazines or one of our records, it shifts from<br />
what we thought it was, to something that it is for<br />
somebody else.<br />
R: How would you deal with any negative<br />
aspects? – when you love something so much its<br />
hard not to take things personally.<br />
The key thing about that is, you did the best you<br />
can, I did the best I could, there was that period<br />
of time back in 1996 when we tracked the record,<br />
but we have our whole life experience now and<br />
we put our heart and soul in into something, so<br />
even if someone can pick things apart and say<br />
bad things about it, first of all, don’t list to it, as I<br />
never really pay any attention to the press good<br />
or bad, as what I did I thought came from the<br />
right place, that means more to me than what<br />
someone could say they would have done better.<br />
When we first came out with this record,<br />
especially in the UK where there was a lot of brit/<br />
pop, we were in the charts, that wasn’t something<br />
that was really that crazy back 20 years ago but<br />
now there’s such a rapid turn over as people are<br />
getting emotionally invested in things for lots of<br />
reasons.<br />
I think paramount to that is when you do<br />
something that is very, very different you expose<br />
yourself to a lot of different people who feel very,<br />
very different about there role in society, and I<br />
think people gravitated towards this record as<br />
it wasn’t easily explained like anybody’s life is<br />
explained in 250 words or whatever.<br />
R: This is usually a question I like to ask in my<br />
interviews, Van Haylen famously requested a<br />
bowl of M&Ms, with the brown ones removed as<br />
part of their rider.<br />
I know that story, you know why they did that?<br />
R: Speaking of love, I hear you’re a keen guitar<br />
player? When did you start playing?<br />
I started about the age of 9 or 10 and I<br />
was listening to the stuff that was in my<br />
neighbourhood and that was a good place to<br />
start, as that’s how I got the idea of being very<br />
inclusive with my inspirations, be it music or<br />
social things that went on in my neighbourhood<br />
or just everything really. It was one of those<br />
things where I grew up there were so many<br />
different culturally diverse music and speech<br />
and just life, in my neighbourhood that I was at<br />
an early age excepting of everything and I think<br />
if your gonna be creative its really good to have<br />
that mind set of ethos.<br />
When I first started playing guitar I was<br />
listening to all types of music it all kind of, in<br />
my mind, moved together into this single state<br />
of consciousness that made me be the person<br />
I am and therefore you can be a musician with<br />
instrument of your expression and that can<br />
be unique.<br />
R: No but I am dying to find out?<br />
It was kinda funny, the story goes... that they got<br />
really famous very quickly and they were opening<br />
up to Black Sabbath and bands like that.<br />
All of a sudden they were asked what their rider<br />
should be, and essentially all these guys wanted<br />
was a bottle of Jack Daniels and like 50 beers,<br />
and they were like “ok we got that what else”?<br />
And they were like, “uh some cigarettes”, “and<br />
what else”? Your given an open cheque and you<br />
know, I was in that position too where people<br />
were like “what do you want in your rider” and I<br />
was like “a beer”, and then they were like “what<br />
else”? “uh a sandwich” and “what else”? So they<br />
actually got to the point where they were like “uh<br />
the m&ms with the brown ones taken out” to end<br />
the conversation, and the promoters went and<br />
did that as they thought it was something the<br />
band needed to have a really good show, though<br />
essentially they just wanted to get them off the<br />
telephone!<br />

R: So what was your most outrageous request?<br />
Well I mean its the same old story, the reason I<br />
was talking about that is that it kinda happened<br />
to us one time, we got to the point where we had<br />
about 50 beers, a couple of bottles of liquor and<br />
then “what else” cigarettes, “yeah sure what else”<br />
“half a case of champagne”, “what kind”? “Uh<br />
Veuve Clicquot”, “what else”? OK so it got to the<br />
point, it was an open cheque.<br />
And I was talking to the tour manager one day<br />
and he was like we leave this dressing room and<br />
there was all this stuff left behind and we end up<br />
taking it, so all the tech guys were walking round<br />
with all this champagne, liquor and beer etc.<br />
So I said that’s good and he said why so I said<br />
because they’re happy!<br />
So I guess the craziest thing we’ve done is as our<br />
tech guys what they want, because we can only<br />
do so much damage to ourselves and our brains<br />
in the space of a couple of hours.<br />
It ended up turning into ‘whatever our guys want’<br />
cos we’re all family here, we all hang out together<br />
we’ve been doing this a long time and we kind of<br />
set it up as a family business.<br />
It now gets to the point were wanted a banana<br />
daiquiri mix so we got that!<br />
R: So speaking of tours, your UK tour starts<br />
in <strong>February</strong> and you’ll be in Norwich (not far<br />
from us) on 13th <strong>February</strong>, what are you looking<br />
forward to the most about being on tour?<br />
I’ll tell you, when I played Norwich last time it was<br />
kinda funny, so I left my house in London and I<br />
had to get to Norwich. It was a really fun time, so<br />
I got on the train to go up to Norwich and I was<br />
on the train and there were a bunch of people<br />
also on the train who were going to the gig and<br />
they were looking at me and eventually one lady<br />
got up and said to me ‘aw is it you’ and I said ‘I’m<br />
going to the gig in Norwich’ and they were like<br />
‘so are we’.<br />
They just couldn’t believe that a guy would be on<br />
the train going to a gig while they were going up<br />
to a gig while they were on a train going to a gig.<br />

And I said to them ‘ah there is nothing separating<br />
us apart from I have some guitars waiting for<br />
me when I get there’, so we shared a cab and<br />
we get to the gig I am walking in the front door<br />
with these people with tickets and stuff, and the<br />
security guys said ‘hey you should be going to<br />
the back entrance this is safe’ and I was like what<br />
do you mean this isn’t safe I have been with these<br />
guys for two hours there my friends, we’re cool<br />
and they couldn’t get there head around it.<br />
I thought that was funny as we as people, we<br />
always think there is a class system with bands<br />
and crew or bands and audiences, were all in this<br />
boat together as people right, and that was one<br />
of the reasons I never wanted to sign up to all<br />
this celebrity nonsense as once you do that you<br />
separate yourself from the people who are most<br />
important to you.<br />
R: Do you ever get bored of being ‘on the road’?<br />
Yeah I have a family and stuff I mean, I like being<br />
at home, but I also love playing with my band,<br />
these guys are some of the best musicians I<br />
have ever met in my life if not the best and its<br />
something like I was given a gift and I was able to<br />
play music for a living you know.<br />
I love playing I never get bored as if you get<br />
bored your not playing enough.<br />
There’s a lot to be said that if you don’t enjoy<br />
what you do you shouldn’t be doing it<br />
If not enjoying yourself you’ve got to get more in<br />
touch with yourself, you know.<br />
R: We are also fairly close to the Latitude<br />
Festival and a friend of mine said he bumped<br />
into you at last year’s festival and I wondered<br />
what did you think about it?<br />
Oh, I love Latitude, I think it’s a great festival,<br />
I think we might be playing this year, so hey<br />
hopefully we will see you again soon.<br />
R: Great well hopefully we will be covering it<br />
again then.<br />
And if so we will do another interview then!<br />
R: Thank you ever so much for you time its been<br />
a pleasure speaking to you.<br />

YOGA<br />
FOR THE MEN<br />
<strong>Bounce</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> looks at the<br />
benefits of yoga for men...<br />
Most men are pretty skeptical about yoga, they<br />
assume that yoga is just a lot of stretching and<br />
breathing; which it is. But they soon find that there’s<br />
a serious component of strength required to hold<br />
those poses, still and steady, breathing deeply<br />
and consistently, with a peaceful, non-reactive<br />
expression on your face! They are amazed at how<br />
hard it is and equally amazed at how good it feels.<br />
Interestingly, although women seem to have<br />
cornered the market so far on yoga here in the<br />
West, that’s far from the case in India, its birthplace.<br />
Krishnamacharya, one of the fathers of what we<br />
consider “modern yoga,” developed his physically<br />
demanding poses at a school for boys, and many<br />
of the moves incorporated into today’s yoga<br />
sequences remain elusive for women, because they<br />
lack the upper-body strength to fully attain them.<br />
tight. One of the most widely practiced is a form<br />
of vigorous Vinyasa or “flow” yoga, also called<br />
“power” yoga. The “hot” method, utilizes a heated<br />
room to up the sweat factor and increase flexibility<br />
in muscles, while Hatha and Iyengar emphasize<br />
perfecting body alignment, symmetry, and form.<br />
Ashtanga yoga is a set series, akin to a martial art<br />
form. There are four levels of series; most students<br />
won’t fully complete the first, or “primary” series, in<br />
a lifetime of practice, and there are currently only a<br />
handful of people in the world who have advanced<br />
to the fourth series.<br />
Since it helps smooth out tight muscles, yoga can<br />
be a wonderful complement to all sports and help<br />
prevent injury greatly.<br />
By now most of us have heard about the health<br />
benefits of yoga. Certainly the “yoga body” is<br />
desirable for both men and women alike. Lean,<br />
toned, symmetrical, and well-proportioned, it’s sexy<br />
because it’s flexible, not bound, locked, bulky or<br />
What’s the “goal” of yoga, if there is one: calm,<br />
clear, internal focus. The fact that it will also<br />
empower your body and give you a strong,<br />
muscular, defined and long-lined physique happens<br />
to be a nice bonus for the yogi’s efforts.<br />

THE SELF CENTRE<br />
Why<br />
Pilates?<br />
Joseph Pilates was born at the end<br />
of the nineteenth century.<br />
A sickly child, he was determined to overcome<br />
the ailments that restricted his life, he strived<br />
to achieve this through gymnastics, diving and<br />
skiing, passionately believing that fitness was<br />
the key. As an adult his careers varied from<br />
circus performer to self-defence instructor until<br />
World War 1 where, as a German national, he<br />
was interred. He devoted his time in captivity to<br />
developing an exercise programme to help his<br />
fellow inmates. Later in the war, he used his new<br />
techniques to develop healthy muscle tone and<br />
assist those learning to walk again.<br />
Jumping forwards to today, Pilates is practiced<br />
across the world by over 12 million people. The<br />
techniques have been adapted and added to over<br />
the years; however the six main principles remain<br />
the same: breath, concentration, centring, control,<br />
precision and flow. Modern Pilates focuses on<br />
strengthening the core muscles with the intention<br />
of bringing the body back into balance, improving<br />
posture, and taking pressure off the back.<br />
Other benefits include a flatter stomach, tighter<br />
buttocks and a toned body. Exercises can focus<br />
on particular muscles groups to aid rehabilitation<br />
after illness, increase mobility and improve<br />
general health.<br />
Classes are typically an hour long and may use<br />
props such as blocks, belts and balls to assist<br />
and support movement. Pilates works with the<br />
body to bring it back to a healthy alignment, at<br />
first it may feel that nothing or very little change<br />
is happening, so it is recommended to follow a<br />
course of 8-10 classes is taken before expecting<br />
to feel a real change.<br />

FOR THE<br />
love of food<br />
BY NATALIE PERKINS<br />
The preparing and sharing of<br />
food has always been a way of<br />
communicating love and caring.<br />
Sitting down as a family or as a couple allows<br />
for quality conversation and helps consolidate<br />
relationships. Sadly with TV dinners and mobile<br />
phone usage this precious experience is being<br />
eroded. So, whoever you are dining with on<br />
Valentine’s night – focus on the person sharing<br />
the experience!<br />
Aphrodisiacs! Urban myth or<br />
substantiated evidence?<br />
For fun I googled aphrodisiacs whilst researching<br />
our Valentine menu and discovered that most<br />
were illegal, inedible or immoral! So we will not<br />
be offering Tiger Penis Tapas or Spanish Fly<br />
Omelette or even Salamander Brandy. However<br />
Watermelon may make an appearance, see an<br />
excerpt from Science Daily.<br />
Watermelon May Have<br />
Viagra-effect<br />
July 1, 2008 : Texas A&M University<br />
A cold slice of watermelon has long been a<br />
Fourth of July holiday staple. But according to<br />
recent studies, the juicy fruit may be better suited<br />
for Valentine’s Day. That’s because scientists say<br />
watermelon has ingredients that deliver Viagralike<br />
effects to the body’s blood vessels and may<br />
even increase libido.<br />
Many other aphrodisiacs may just have a placebo<br />
effect and are based on their visual similarity<br />
to “body parts!”. These include asparagus and<br />
oysters, (please don’t ask me to explain any<br />
further).<br />
On a more practical level you may be hoping to<br />
find out how to impress your loved one through<br />
culinary expertise. Firstly remember that it is not<br />
just the food, we need to set the mood. Music,<br />
lighting and the table setting all add to the overall<br />
romanticism of a meal.<br />
Flowers on a table can look nice but they can<br />
get in the way of your view of your loved one, so<br />
perhaps give a bunch of flowers (this works for<br />
both sexes) and use the petals from one of the<br />
flowers strewn over the table.<br />
I would also keep candles low, use any glass<br />
container to put tea lights in, this is important as<br />
tea lights can easily cause a fire.<br />
Do no over stretch yourself and get all hot and<br />
bothered - this is not attractive!

Poetry<br />
IN MOTION<br />
Poets House, in Ely, Cambridgeshire,<br />
occupies an attractive trio of Grade-<br />
II listed Edwardian buildings, which<br />
surround a central courtyard/car park,<br />
complete with an impressive view into<br />
the cocktail bar.<br />
We were delighted be invited along to see what<br />
Poets House had to offer and we were certainly<br />
not disappointed.<br />
As we draw nearer to our destination, we find it in<br />
the most enviable location, opposite the ancient<br />
cathedral close and Oliver Cromwell’s House.<br />
Poets House was named after Sybil Marshall, the<br />
Cambridgeshire poet, who once lived on the site.<br />
The majority of bedrooms are situated on the<br />
upper floor of the main block, where you’ll also<br />
find the reception, a buzzing cocktail bar and<br />
busy restaurant.<br />
‘As we arrive in Ely, the Cathedral dominates the<br />
landscape surrounding the city.<br />
With a luxurious vibe throughout, Poets House is<br />
decorated with poetry written mirrors and black<br />
and white tiled flooring.<br />

We arrive on a wet Saturday evening; and eager<br />
to settle into our new home for the night, we<br />
head straight to reception to check in.<br />
staff are extremely friendly and go out of their<br />
way to make our favourite cocktails even though<br />
they are not listed on the menu.<br />
Dave the manager, warmly greets us at reception,<br />
we ask him where we can park and we are happily<br />
informed that valet parking will sort it at no extra<br />
charge.<br />
Our room is beautiful, complete with a copper<br />
freestanding bath taking pride of place in the<br />
bedroom.<br />
We take a sneak peak at the dinner selection,<br />
which contain a good variety of both meat and<br />
vegetarian options.<br />
As we sink into a relaxed state, watching the rain<br />
patter against the tall glass branded windows, we<br />
realise that time has escaped us and if I wanted to<br />
fit in that bath, it was time to leave the bar.<br />
However, before we settle and prepare for dinner<br />
a cheeky cocktail is in order from the bar. The bar<br />

shades of grey. As my partner hurries to order his<br />
daring starter of ‘pig head terrine with quail egg<br />
and Cambridge sauce’ I gasp at his choice.<br />
cheeky one, I begged him for a taste and you<br />
could tell the beef had been cooking for hours, it<br />
was delicious.<br />
I opt for the slightly less quirky offering of ‘crispy<br />
duck egg with wild mushroom and puy lentils’.<br />
In the blink of an eye the starters arrive and we<br />
remark on the quick service!<br />
Shortly following, for the main event I select the<br />
‘poached and glazed breast of guinea fowl with<br />
mushroom and truffle mousse with braised pearl<br />
barely’ and Sam picks his favourite, ‘slow roasted<br />
blade of beef with horseradish mash, sauce<br />
bourguigon and bone marrow’. Always being the<br />
The was no doubt that for dessert (being<br />
chocolate Lovers,) we would both selected<br />
the ‘hot dark chocolate fondant with pistachio<br />
ice cream’. In hindsight guess we could have<br />
shared?... but we were far too greedy for that! As<br />
our dining experience came to an end, we retired<br />
to the bar for one final drink.<br />
As the lights dim and the setting turns cosy my<br />
eyes start to grow sleepy and the thought of the<br />
large inviting bed in our room, urges me to call it<br />
a night.<br />

Teeny Weeny Cheesecakes<br />
Here we have a delicious little recipe that requires no cooking in the oven<br />
meaning us little people can do most of the work! A family recipe for some tasty<br />
little cheesecakes that could be perfect for a certain special dinner later this<br />
month.<br />
Let’s start by bashing up all the biscuits<br />
in a large bowl. Oh hang on, we do need<br />
a big person, grab one and ask them to melt<br />
the butter and add it to your bowl.<br />
Now spoon the filling into each of the<br />
base tins equally. If you are feeling<br />
creative you can add a little swirl by<br />
dropping a drip of chocolate sauce onto<br />
the filling and moving it with the end of a<br />
teaspoon.<br />
Once you have finished fiddling with them,<br />
pop them in the fridge for a few hours.<br />
When you take them out it sometimes helps<br />
to use a warm cloth to run around the tin<br />
before removing them.<br />
Grease some small tins with some of<br />
the butter and place them onto a baking<br />
tray and pour the biscuit mixture into it.<br />
Press the mixture down especially around<br />
the edges to form the base. When this is<br />
done, the bases can be chilling in the fridge<br />
while we make the filling.<br />
While that big person is loitering about<br />
ask them to melt the white chocolate in<br />
a bowl over a pan of boiling water.<br />
mix the cream cheese and mascarpone<br />
together and add the cream.<br />
Then add the melted chocolate to the<br />
mixture. Be a bit careful here as you can<br />
over mix it which isn’t good, so nice and<br />
smooth with all the ingredients combined.<br />
Have a little taste and see what you think.<br />

Renowned coffee creators Paddy & Scott’s announce<br />
partnership with award-winning Suffolk businesswoman...<br />
Artisan coffee creators Paddy & Scott’s<br />
have announced ambitious plans to provide<br />
customers with a new interactive experience.<br />
The renowned Suffolk business has teamed up with<br />
award-winning businesswoman Rachel Ducker who<br />
will be in charge of boosting online retail sales.<br />
Rachel said: “I am thrilled about the opportunity<br />
I have been given to work with Paddy & Scott’s.<br />
I’ve always been a big fan of their coffee and I feel<br />
privileged to now be a part of the team.<br />
“Between us, I believe our knowledge and passion<br />
within the industry will take the brand to new and<br />
interesting places.<br />
“We have some very exciting times ahead for the<br />
retail side of the business and I am ready to come<br />
up with some mind-blowing ideas for <strong>2016</strong> - I urge<br />
everyone to watch this space.”<br />
Founded in Earl Soham, Paddy & Scott’s have<br />
organically grown as a company to now boast five<br />
established and thriving coffee shops in Framlingham,<br />
Hadleigh and Bury St Edmunds, as well as operating<br />
in over 45 branded outlets across the country and<br />
over 700 trade outlets. This equates to around<br />
100,000 cups of Paddy & Scott’s coffee being<br />
consumed per day, totalling 320,000 kilos of coffee<br />
per year.<br />
Scott Russell, co-founder of Paddy & Scott’s, said they<br />
now felt the time was right to push further ahead with<br />
online retail sales, admitting: “We’ve been talking with<br />
Rachel for a couple of years now.<br />
“Both Paddy and I like her approach to business and<br />
effervescent personality, but we have been waiting for<br />
the right project.”<br />
Future plans include giving online customers bespoke<br />
offers matched to their tastes as well as food<br />
pairing with a big online marketing drive planned<br />
for Valentine’s Day. The partnership will also see the<br />
launch of a new customer-funded coffee community<br />
where a limited number of members can opt to pay<br />
a small monthly fee to help fund independent coffee<br />
plantations in return for a monthly supply of rarer,<br />
specialised coffees not available to the general public.<br />
Rachel, 29, is a former East of England young<br />

Wines<br />
of Portugal<br />
It was in 1678 that the importation of French wines was forbidden as<br />
a result them being our enemy.<br />
BY ‘WINE BUFF’ FRED FISHER<br />
This led to an opportunity to deal with Portugal for<br />
wine imports. By 1703 the Methuen Treaty bound<br />
us together even more such they had become our<br />
oldest ally.<br />
This Treaty gave preference to Portugese trade<br />
and boosted their wine industry.<br />
They have existed over the years as a basic wine<br />
producer with Port being the most important<br />
product. In 2003 a commission was set up to<br />
provide a strategy for producing sustainable<br />
quality wine.<br />
Similar to other European nations Portugal has a<br />
Classification system with the initials DOC & DOP<br />
for top quality, and IGP and VR for the medium<br />
quality wines. Furthermore Reserva and Garrafeira<br />
are quality terms. Reserva for DOC wines and<br />
Garrafeira for all wines DOC or IGP. For Garrafeira<br />
the minimum age has to be 30 Months maturing<br />
including 12 in glass bottles. Table wines are simply<br />
called Vinho.<br />
On wine labels look for these classifications<br />
especially the initials IGP as these are a relatively<br />
new development and follow the 2003 strategy<br />
mentioned above.<br />
The Climate<br />
Diverse climate mostly influenced by the Atlantic<br />
Ocean thus described as a Maritime Climate,<br />
warm summers and cool wet winters. Inland the<br />
climate can be hot and dry.<br />

The Regions<br />
Vinho Verde DOC In the North West vineyards<br />
are affected by the cooling effect of the Atlantic.<br />
An average rainfall of 1200mm with mostly a<br />
granite soil. More modern pruning has led to big<br />
improvements in quality. Usually white wine from<br />
the Loureiro, Arinto and Alvarinho grapes Red<br />
wine is made as well as rose from a variety of<br />
black grapes<br />
Douro DOC This is the oldest demarcated<br />
wine region in the world and has a varied<br />
climate. Warm maritime in the west but hot and<br />
continental at the eastern end. Steep hillside<br />
planting with slate like schistous soil.<br />
Mostly Port grapes, the most important ones are<br />
Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto<br />
Roriz, Tinta Barroca and Tinta Cao.<br />
Mostly Port wine is made here<br />
(see <strong>Bounce</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> Issue 27<br />
January 2015) but some blocks<br />
of vines are used to make Douro<br />
DOC, a dry red wine of intense<br />
fruit combined with finesse.<br />
Dao DOC South of the Douro but<br />
more inland with grapes planted<br />
on gentle rolling countryside of mostly<br />
granite based soil. Cold and rainy in winter, hot<br />
and dry in summer. The significant temperature<br />
drop from day to night, leads to high quality wine<br />
production. New plantings of classic grapes have<br />
taken place together with the Touriga Nacional<br />
and Tinta Roriz. Dao wines are mostly red with<br />
ripe fruit flavours, soft tannins and high acidity.<br />
They have the ability to age well. Dao whites are<br />
medium bodied with fresh acidity, mostly from<br />
the Encruzado grape.<br />
Bairrada DOC This area lies between Dao and the<br />
Atlantic. Mostly heavy clay soil with limestone<br />
content. A mild climate with rainy winters and<br />
warm summers. Problems with rain have led<br />
to the need for more modern winemaking and<br />
viticulture practices (the training and pruning of<br />
vines). This has resulted in soft and fruity wines<br />
but with some ageing potential. The Touriga<br />
Nacional is now planted together with the<br />
Camarate, the Casteleo and Baga grapes. A blend<br />
of these is called Classico with at least 50% of the<br />
Baga grape.<br />
IGP or Local Regional Wines Local Regional wines<br />
are labelled for each region and can have larger<br />
areas which encompass DOC wines. They have<br />
the advantage of more flexibility in the selection<br />
of grape varieties.<br />
Northern Portugal In Vinho Verde<br />
they are called IGP Minho.<br />
In the Douro they are called IGP<br />
Duriese<br />
In Bairrada and Dao they are called<br />
IGP Beiros.<br />
All of these can also be called VR, the older term.<br />
Central Portugal Two new IGP’s have been<br />
created, IGP Lisboa which covers the Atlantic<br />
Coastal area north of Lisbon, and IGP Tejo which<br />
used to be called VR Ribatejano.<br />
Southern Portugal IGP Setubal which includes<br />
Palmela DOC and IGP Alentejano which covers an<br />
extensive area.<br />
Conclusions...<br />
Portugal is now accepted as a top Quality Producer and is about 12th in the world<br />
production league table. It is worth taking a close look at the labels for IGP wines as with<br />
more flexibility in grape selection some attractive surprises are in store for us.<br />

At this early point in the new year why not<br />
take steps to protect your assets, and your<br />
loved ones, with a Will? Fiona Ashmead, of<br />
Rudlings Wakelam Solicitors (left) explains<br />
why it is well worth doing<br />
Traditionally the New Year is<br />
the time for reflection on the<br />
last year and the goals we are<br />
going to set ourselves for the<br />
New Year. Most of us will have started<br />
it planning to give up something -<br />
perhaps cake or alcohol. Maybe we<br />
have set our sights on an achievement<br />
- a new job, weight loss, or spending<br />
more time doing something we have<br />
not made enough time for, whether it<br />
be family or a previous pastime.<br />
Whilst these resolutions may now be<br />
slipping, what should still rank as<br />
important on your ‘to-do list’ should<br />
also be the goal of looking at how you<br />
manage and look after your legal and<br />
financial matters. Most assets which<br />
people own have been won through<br />
hard work and investment in time, and<br />
therefore it is important that they are<br />
looked after during your lifetime and<br />
also after your death. Whilst the<br />
majority of us are aware that we should<br />
get affairs in order<br />
make a Will, 60% of the nation still die<br />
Intestate (without a Will) and thus leave<br />
their assets to be distributed in a way<br />
that they may not have chosen. If you<br />
have not made a Will then this should<br />
be at the top of your list. If you have<br />
made a Will, still take five minutes to<br />
consider whether your circumstances<br />
or those of your beneficiaries have<br />
changed. Such triggers to consider<br />
include:<br />
• New family members, children,<br />
grandchildren, partners etc.<br />
• Divorces, separations or marriages.<br />
• Retirement and Pension Planning.<br />
• Problems that may necessitate<br />
adjustment to your list of<br />
beneficiaries – Divorces, financial<br />
difficulties or death.<br />
Having made a Will or reviewed it,<br />
then you need to consider the interim<br />
position. If you were unable to handle<br />
71<br />
your own financial affairs through ill<br />
health or lack of capacity, would you<br />
not prefer to hand over the reins to<br />
someone you trust and have<br />
appointed? Bearing in mind the ability<br />
to choose someone to look after your<br />
financial affairs has been possible since<br />
1985, too few people appoint an<br />
attorney. Prior to 2007 it was<br />
possible to make an Enduring Power of<br />
Attorney and these are still valid<br />
documents. Since 2007 it has been<br />
possible to make a Lasting Power of<br />
Attorney (LPA) for both financial matters<br />
and also for health and welfare<br />
decisions. Only 7% of adults have<br />
chosen to make them. This means a lot<br />
of people are needlessly struggling to<br />
have their finances properly administered<br />
or their health and welfare issues<br />
addressed as they should be, especially<br />
if they have lost mental capacity. If an<br />
LPA has not been made then the more<br />
lengthy and costly route of applying for<br />
a Deputy to be appointed will become<br />
necessary. This can cause stress and<br />
delay in the intervening period before<br />
a Deputy is appointed.<br />
On the business side you also need to<br />
check that you have the correct<br />
agreements in place in relation to any<br />
Partnership or Company you run or are<br />
involved in. Are your partnership<br />
agreements up to date, do you have<br />
the correct directors or shareholders<br />
agreements in place? Finally, if you<br />
have lent money to a family member or<br />
friend you should have this protected<br />
by a charge being placed against a<br />
property or a Declaration of Trust so<br />
that in the event for example, where<br />
you have lent a son or daughter money<br />
and their relationship breaks down,<br />
then you can safeguard the return of<br />
that money. So whilst you may have set<br />
goals for yourself in the New Year that<br />
have lapsed, you still need<br />
to complete your “to do”<br />
list in relation to protecting<br />
your assets and your loved<br />
ones.<br />

Especially<br />
TO YOU<br />
Greetings Card<br />
Advice<br />
BY RUBY REED<br />
It seems a month doesn’t<br />
go by without having to<br />
pick out a card for some<br />
sort of occasion- the<br />
norm being a birthday<br />
(or this month your<br />
Valentine!).<br />
I have to admit I am one<br />
of the people who spend a<br />
good 20 minutes reading<br />
through 30+ cards in the<br />
hope of finding one perfectly<br />
suited.<br />
However, it seems I am<br />
not alone in this obsession<br />
thanks to the trend in card creation websites that<br />
allow you to make your very own.<br />
Now by ‘own’ i mean your own photos, text and<br />
handwriting!<br />
Even if you have never ventured on to the website,<br />
let alone used it, MoonPig.com is probably the<br />
biggest name and the one you will have heard of<br />
when it comes to online card making/sending.<br />
Others include FunkyPigeon.com or create them on<br />
an App such as Inkly.<br />
The process starts with chosing your occasion or<br />
from various categories such as ‘For Her’ followed<br />
by a card design template. There are LOTS to<br />
choose from!<br />
An idea for a special valentine’s card this month<br />
72
FEBRUARY FEBRUARY <strong>2016</strong> | ISSUE <strong>2016</strong> #40 | ISSUE | VALENTINES #40 DAY<br />
would of course be to<br />
include a photograph of<br />
you and your other half<br />
together!<br />
For other general<br />
occasions something I<br />
believe would go down<br />
well is a photo of the<br />
person’s pet- everyone’s<br />
favourite thing!<br />
Or include an inside joke,<br />
that exists only between<br />
you and the person you’re<br />
sending to.<br />
Spend as long as you like<br />
re-sizing, repositioning,<br />
retyping and making other<br />
alterations to your card.<br />
When inside the card your<br />
personal message can be<br />
written in various style fonts, colours<br />
and size.<br />
So why not add a bit more sparkle to<br />
someone’s special day by having them<br />
open a card designed uniquely by you.<br />
Without much effort at all, the websites<br />
allow you to piece together something<br />
you’d never find in the shop.<br />
It’ll be one they might just keep... It’s<br />
easy and its fun- smiles all round!<br />
Apps such as Inkly provide the option of<br />
including your own handwriting insideeliminating<br />
the concern of not being<br />
able to write in the card yourself.<br />
This simply involves the app allowing<br />
you to take a photograph on your phone<br />
of your handwritten message.<br />
After payment for your card, delivery<br />
is a case of entering the recipients<br />
address!<br />
The card is then dispatched within a<br />
few days or in some cases you are able<br />
to give the specific date of delivery you<br />
would like.<br />

BY RACHEL DUCKER<br />
The First<br />
Time<br />
On a brisk Sunday<br />
afternoon we decided to<br />
take our dog Archie for a<br />
walk in Southwold...<br />
After a short while, we came to the<br />
harbour area and as we passed a fish<br />
shop an idea sprung to mind. “Lets try<br />
and cook a lobster for dinner? How hard<br />
can it be”?<br />
Ever since we reviewed a hotel in Aldeburgh<br />
with a great seafood restaurant, we had been<br />
wondering how to cook a lobster at home…<br />
and it felt like a good idea... at the time.<br />
As we walked up to the fish counter, warmly<br />
greeted by the lady behind it, we asked if she<br />
had a lobster big enough for two. She went out<br />
to the freezer to have a look and hurried back<br />
with two massive lobsters at the price of £20<br />
each.<br />
Naïvely we asked “are they still alive”? There<br />
was no need for her to respond as their claws<br />
started to move. She smiled.<br />
We then asked for instructions on how to cook<br />
and prepare the lobster. She said that you<br />
could either put them head side up in boiling<br />
water or you could run a knife quickly through<br />
the brain, which apparently was the more<br />
humane approach.<br />
She also mentioned that if you freeze them<br />
for a while before it puts them to sleep. My<br />
thought at this moment “oh my god”!<br />
We began to ask more questions, and as more<br />
were answered, the horror and the look in my<br />
partners eyes became more apparent, one of<br />
us was going to have to kill it...<br />
As we paid up and walked away, the lady then<br />
added “best not to give a name you may get<br />
attached,” I guess the look in our eyes was<br />
clear for her to see too.<br />
We put the lobster in the boot; it felt like we<br />
were kidnapping it. All the way home we<br />
silently regretted our decision and upon arrival<br />
to our house, our lobster took a long sleep<br />
74
FEBRUARY FEBRUARY <strong>2016</strong> | <strong>2016</strong> ISSUE | ISSUE #40 | #40 FEATURE<br />
in the freezer. After lots of research on the<br />
Internet, we decided the best course of action<br />
was a quick death; and yes... of course I’d<br />
bloody named the lobster by this point! So my<br />
partner Sam, manned up to the task and I have<br />
to confess, I was very grateful.<br />
Whenever I had eaten lobster before nothing<br />
could have prepared me for the sadness we<br />
both felt at this moment. As the knife came<br />
out, we were even more traumatized to see it<br />
still moving.<br />
You may think this article is truly disgusting or<br />
you may think we were being pretty pathetic,<br />
either way I have to say that this was not an<br />
ordeal I wanted to put myself through in a<br />
hurry again.<br />
As we cooked the lobster accompanied with<br />
steak, salad and some homemade chips, the<br />
meal left a sour taste behind and I felt sick for<br />
most of the evening. Karma at its best! In fact<br />
even when entering the kitchen the next day it<br />
felt like a murder scene.<br />
What they don’t tell you is that this is<br />
completely normal. As we squirmed and<br />
panicked around the kitchen, tension started to<br />
build around us, and emotions started to take<br />
over the cooking. At this point we knew the<br />
damage had been done.<br />
So if you have what it takes to cook your own<br />
lobster my advice is to make it quick, the<br />
RSPCA also back the theory. If you are not<br />
good with this either stick to the restaurants or<br />
become a vegetarian. Perhaps the lesson is ‘if<br />
you can’t kill it, don’t eat it’?<br />
Need help with a ‘first time’<br />
dilemma? Email us at<br />
hello@bouncemagazine.co.uk<br />
RSPCA’s unacceptable methods of killing<br />
• Cutting the lobster across the body and thus<br />
separating the head from the tail without first<br />
destroying the nerve centres<br />
• Boiling them alive<br />
• Leaving lobsters in freshwater to drown<br />
• Removing flesh from live animals<br />
• Serving live crustaceans<br />

“If I had to choose one<br />
treatment this year it would<br />
definitely be the COMCIT!<br />
It has to be the most exciting<br />
facial treatment we have ever<br />
done. It takes the anti-ageing facial to<br />
another level.<br />
The treatment has 4 modes of action; Freeze<br />
Therapy, Oxygen, Microchannelling and skin<br />
Infusion. The skin is left beautifully hydrated and<br />
has an instant firming and plumping effect. Perfect<br />
for your special night out with your loved one!”<br />
Dawn<br />
“Everybody needs Gelish nails<br />
an absolute must. Polish which<br />
is high shine, instantly dry and<br />
will last for at least 2 weeks.<br />
Gelish also have the most<br />
fabulous range, so you can go<br />
for a sexy valentines red or choose another of the<br />
amazing on trend colours.”<br />
Lily<br />
Louise<br />
“Lycon Hot Wax is definitely the way forward for<br />
any of you looking for intimate waxing. Using pre<br />
wax oil, it leaves a perfectly smooth finish with very<br />
little skin reaction and very little discomfort.<br />
“I think relaxation is what most of our Valentines<br />
need. I love the fact that people come in for couples<br />
massage together at this time, we do Swedish, Hot<br />
Stone or Aromatherapy.<br />
I absolutely love doing these treatments and they also<br />
make a lovely valentines gift.”<br />
Hairs as short as 1mm will be removed. Could help<br />
towards the perfect end to<br />
your<br />
Valentine evening!”<br />

“OMG! Trending now, Russian Layered lashes! I<br />
absolutely love these, they are fuller, high impact,<br />
glamorous.<br />
They are lighter than normal lashes and are layered<br />
to give the wow factor. You will definitely get noticed<br />
wearing these”.<br />
“Your preparation is all very<br />
important but lets not forget<br />
the final look.<br />
I recommend all my ladies a<br />
mineral make-up , good for the skin and a fantastic<br />
radiant finish.<br />
My favourite little tricks are Bare Minerals Prime Time<br />
to make my foundation look flawless and last well, a<br />
dusting of Illuminating Mineral Veil for that luminous<br />
finish and Bare minerals Stroke of light is an amazing<br />
eye brightener.”<br />

LOVE TO LOVE<br />
yourself<br />
Valentines is here, some of us love it<br />
and some of us hate it.<br />
So whether your having a nice evening with the one<br />
you love and want to look your best, or your having<br />
an evening in with a friend, mud masks, wine and<br />
chickflicks, here are some products that would be<br />
great for both.<br />
BY CARLA MIREILLE JONES<br />
For that evening with your loved one, Dior’s Diorskin<br />
Forever and Ever Wear new Primer minimises pores<br />
and imperfections, evens out skin tone whilst helping<br />
your makeup stay on all day. For me this is a must<br />
have. YSL Touche E’clate is always one of my must<br />
have’s, used right it gives the radiance whilst still<br />
looking natural. Use this under the eyes to help hide<br />
those bags and on the cupids bow of your lips to give<br />
a bit more of a natural pout.<br />
Since its Valentine’s day a red lip can’t go a miss!<br />
Dolce and Gabbana’s crème colour lipstick in Devil is<br />
a pure Red with a matt finish and long lasting. This<br />
is the same lipstick Scarlett Johansson wears in the<br />
Dolce and Gabbana adverts.<br />
If you’re planning a girly night in, a bit of a pamper<br />
with some skin care is a must. Nu Skin’s Epoch Glacial<br />
Marine Mud mask draws out impurities and leaves<br />
your skin feeling fresh, renewed and looking clear and<br />
healthy.<br />
For a deep treatment use Clarins Lotus Face<br />
Treatment Oil, re balances your skin and is made from<br />
100% pure plant extracts.<br />

ALL ABOUT<br />
THE BOYS<br />
SPONSORED BY CABELLO, HALESWORTH<br />
<strong>February</strong> is the month of love and<br />
romance; being able to express our<br />
feelings and how we care about our<br />
partner.<br />
So as an alternative our column is going to consider<br />
our husbands, boyfriends or male colleagues who<br />
may need some gentle encouragement and TLC<br />
when it comes to male grooming and style advice in<br />
order that they keep their look stylish, updated on<br />
trend and looking sharp!<br />
Men may not be born with style but can be groomed<br />
to have style. In past columns we’ve feature the<br />
London Collection AW Male Runway shows. The<br />
models hair for the Hackett collection had maturity<br />
and statement in keeping with their great clothes.<br />
Each fashion house had various interpretations on the<br />
styling of the models, in-keeping with their runway<br />
show. However, the strongest emerging male hair<br />
trend from the London Collection is one of a classic<br />
‘gentleman’ look with carefully considered partings,<br />
heralding an era of English charm and edge, groomed<br />
and with an expensive feel.<br />

Tinie Tempah an ambassador for the<br />
London Collection emphasised that the<br />
‘Gentleman’s look is one of ownership’<br />
and that he would be re-enforcing the<br />
trend introducing some Prince of Wales<br />
Check into his clothes collection.<br />
To achieve the classic look our stylists at<br />
Cabello, will either use clipper-work or<br />
depending on preference scissor-cut to<br />
a finger depth on side and back, leaving<br />
a little longer on top with point cutting<br />
being used to add natural texture and<br />
movement removing weight where<br />
necessary.<br />
The shorter and sharper classic look with<br />
the use of a product; ensures a classic<br />
masculine finish one of energy and<br />
ambition that will not be ruined as soon<br />
as you are out of the door facing the<br />
elements.<br />
It is equally as important for our partners<br />
to be using the correct shampoos and<br />
conditioners for their hair type and to be<br />
advised on the correct styling product<br />
ensuring your man stands out from the crowd in a<br />
subtle and sophisticated way.<br />
The professional and premium products that we use<br />
and recommend to our male clientele are all<br />
specifically designed for men.<br />
So show some love in <strong>February</strong> and encourage<br />
your partner to book an appointment, our<br />
stylists are experienced and will take care of<br />
your loved one with a great haircut.<br />
For the man in your life; like a tailored suit,<br />
or an expensive watch treat him to a great<br />
haircut!<br />

HAIR &<br />
Start a Romance with Your Skin...<br />
So the month of luuuve has arrived,<br />
and while it’s always lovely to dine<br />
somewhere special with your other<br />
half, receiving bouquet of flowers<br />
and devouring delicious chocolates,<br />
buying your loved one a Spa package<br />
is not only different, but ridiculously<br />
indulgent too.<br />
With three luxurious packages especially created for<br />
Valentine’s Day on offer at SK, there is something<br />
for everyone’s needs and budgets.<br />
The first package is the delightful SK Romance<br />
Me, ideal for those who are always on the go with<br />
spare time in short supply. It features the renowned<br />
Pevonia express facial, back massage and express<br />
manicure, adding up to 1 1/2 hours of bliss.<br />
The second package is a complete sensory<br />
experience. The SK Desire Me begins with the<br />
award-winning Pevonia prescriptive facial, followed<br />
by the glorious Tropical Oasis Wrap, featuring<br />
Mango, Passion fruit, Vitamin C and creamy yogurt.<br />
Nails are next with a Colour Gloss Gel overlay<br />
Manicure or pedicure, then dine on a healthy light<br />
lunch in relaxation lounge. Who would want that as<br />
a gift? 3 1/2 hours devoted to you, yes please!<br />
Last but not least, if you really want to go all out,<br />
the 4-hour long SK Love Me package really will<br />
woo your better half. The Pevonia Stones Relax<br />
treatment is heavenly and the most serene way to<br />
start. This is then followed by the Biarritz Pedi Spa,<br />
Essential Manicure and finished with a healthy light<br />
lunch - Top to Toe pure pampering.<br />
If those packages weren’t enough, then an ideal<br />
gift for you and your partner is the Massage Avec<br />
Amour. This 1 1/2 hour lesson is taught to you by<br />
a member of SK’s highly-trained therapist, who<br />
will teach you and your partner how to massage<br />
each other correctly. A gift which really does last a<br />
lifetime.<br />
Finally, our popular Synchronised Massage would<br />
also be a wonderful gift. Known as the four hands<br />
massage, you will have two therapists work on<br />
you simultaneously, unwinding knots and tensions,<br />
easing you into<br />
total relaxation.<br />
This massage is perfect<br />
for those who want<br />
the intensity of a deep<br />
lengthy massage, but in<br />
half the time.<br />

And so starts the exciting<br />
flourish of new spring<br />
collections!<br />
Such an inspiring time, that<br />
has us looking forward to<br />
slightly brighter days and<br />
lighter evenings, in the not<br />
too distant future.<br />
We have recently seen the latest designs from<br />
Osborne & Little and Sanderson, quite a contrast<br />
in style and colour palette, meaning, as always,<br />
something to suit all tastes.<br />
From Osborne & Little, Lorca has created<br />
‘Arodonis’, a collection of sumptuous fabrics,<br />

architecture of the Eastern Mediterranean.<br />
Known for their crisp colour palette such<br />
as fuchsia, lavender, orange and turquoise,<br />
these have been cleverly blended with the<br />
softer tones of apple, hyacinth, linen and<br />
taupe.<br />
Beside this collection, Osborne & Little<br />
has commissioned an influential woven<br />
textile designer, Margo Selby, to create an<br />
exclusive collection of furnishing fabrics<br />
based on original designs produced on<br />
hand looms. The collection pays tribute<br />
to the greats of ragtime and jazz with a<br />
palette which includes distinctive colour<br />
combinations: grape and chartreuse with<br />
duck egg, indigo with burnt orange and<br />
teal, mandarin with coral and ice.<br />

The main offering is the stunning<br />
‘Fantasque’ collection, fabric and<br />
wallpapers influenced by the artistic and<br />
cultural movements of the early 20th century London and Paris. The abstract and geometric<br />
designs in vibrant colourings, aim to reflect the glamour of the era. Colours include ultramarine,<br />
turquoise, magenta, chartreuse and burnt orange interspersed with quieter tones such as<br />
terracotta, stone, taupe and silver.<br />
So, from a glamorous show stopper to a more gentle, English theme, Sanderson have produced<br />
the exquisite ‘Woodland Walk’ taking us on a joyous stroll through our beautiful landscape.<br />
Inspired by British woodlands and wildlife, the cloths are natural, the imagery beautifully handdrawn<br />
and painted. The elements of the<br />
collection, work harmoniously together to<br />
create a sophisticated, modern country<br />
style.<br />
There are so many other gorgeous fabrics<br />
and wallpapers emerging from many<br />
suppliers, we are so looking forward to<br />
putting them all into reality with our<br />
projects for <strong>2016</strong>!<br />
See you next month...<br />

SPRING IS IN SIGHT<br />
BY KATE LINES<br />
Kates Top Tip : Don’t leave houseplants on<br />
windowsills behind the curtains on frosty nights,<br />
especially if your windows are not double-glazed.<br />
This month there are signs of the<br />
approaching spring, with bulbs<br />
appearing and wildlife waking up<br />
as light levels and temperatures<br />
increase.<br />
General<br />
There’s plenty to do indoors this month to prepare<br />
for the season ahead.<br />
Outdoors, as the garden comes to life again, it’s time<br />
to prune shrubs and climbers, such as Wisteria as<br />
well as evergreen hedges.<br />
Sowing and planting<br />
Lily bulbs can be planted in pots, for flowers this<br />
summer. After growing on indoors or in a cool<br />
greenhouse, they can be moved onto the patio when<br />
in flower, so that you can enjoy the blooms.<br />
Bulbs coming up in the rock garden or in containers<br />
may benefit from overhead protection from the<br />
rain and snow. A sheet of glass or Perspex placed<br />
on piles of bricks will do the job. Sweet peas can<br />
be sown under cloches, in a cold frame, or in a cool<br />
room in the house.<br />
Any sweet peas that were sown earlier in the autumn<br />
can now be potted.<br />

BOOTCAMP...<br />
So it’s a cold dark <strong>February</strong>, you’re<br />
already rueing the excesses over<br />
Christmas where you promised yourself<br />
you wouldn’t over do it...<br />
but you did and January has been spent<br />
devouring all the chocolate presents because you<br />
“need them out of the house”.<br />
However whilst it may not feel like it Spring it is<br />
just around the corner and you may have already<br />
booked your summer holibobs, but you’re worried<br />
that whilst lying on that beach someone from<br />
Greenpeace might try to roll you back into the<br />
sea! Well fret not, we have an answer...<br />
365Motivate Bootcamp!<br />
Bootcamps are a series of regular exercise<br />
sessions based on a high intense interval training<br />
(HIIT) style which, when coupled with a healthy<br />
diet, can be the best way to lose weight and<br />
improve fitness. This is done within a group of like<br />
minded individuals all working towards similar<br />
goals, this generates an excellent camaraderie<br />
between you and your fellow “Bootcampers”<br />
where the level of support, encouragement<br />
and competition really helps you meet and<br />
exceed your targets. All of this is orchestrated<br />

quickly but certainty didn’t go unnoticed, my<br />

with motivating and driving the group with an<br />
abundance of positivity and they don’t come<br />

was the polar opposite. Leeds United came to<br />
Portman Road and stunned all inside the old<br />
stadium with a goal inside 12 seconds.<br />
HECTIC WEEK AT IP1 SHOWCASES<br />
THE BEST AND NOT-SO-BEST<br />
SIDES OF IPSWICH TOWN...<br />
It’s never easy following Ipswich<br />
Town – as three quick-fire home<br />
matches perfectly illustrated.<br />
A scrappy, disjointed FA Cup performance,<br />
drawing 2-2 with League Two<br />
Portsmouth, was probably to<br />
be expected.<br />
Mick McCarthy stuck to<br />
type by bringing in several<br />
of his fringe players – in a<br />
move mirrored by many<br />
Championship managers<br />
entering the competition,<br />
not to mention the Premier<br />
League of course.<br />
Disappointing for some,<br />
it did give the likes of Tommy Oar a chance<br />
to show his worth – but in slightly false<br />
circumstances amid several players looking to<br />
do the same in an unusual-looking starting XI.<br />
The likes of Piotr Malarczyk and the newlysigned<br />
Paul Digby would have surely looked<br />
better, and certainly more confident, having a<br />
Christophe Berra alongside them.<br />
Portsmouth were polished and excellent,<br />
Ipswich were just poor. But they didn’t lose, so<br />
some confidence can be gained from that.<br />
Three-and-a-half days later, the performance<br />
It was the quickest in the Football League this<br />
season and earned Jonny Ogle, the club’s excellent<br />
digital media editor, some online fame after he<br />
admitted on Twitter he missed the goal.<br />
Fortunately, Jonny and the Town fans were able to<br />
sit comfortably there on in as Ipswich proceeded to<br />
produce their best performance of the season.<br />
The winner might have come late, courtesy of Brett<br />
Pitman’s head and Ryan Fraser’s exquisite skill, but it<br />
was well deserved.<br />
A hectic home week was concluded by the visit of<br />
Preston when Ipswich played like I felt – jaded and a<br />
little under the weather.<br />
Town were denied a stonewall<br />
penalty but Preston were also<br />
unfortunate to see a goal ruled<br />
out for offside with a 1-1 draw<br />
ultimately fair, though feeling<br />
like points dropped after some<br />
odd results at the top end of the<br />
Championship.<br />
What does three home games in<br />
eight days tell us about Ipswich?<br />
Probably nothing we didn’t<br />
already know. They are not the best team in the<br />
Championship, but they are one of the most hardworking<br />
who never know when they are beaten.<br />
Admirable qualities and ones that mean I remain<br />
convinced we will be seeing them in the play-offs<br />
at the end of the season. And if they could just<br />
bottle that 90 minutes against Leeds, well around 75<br />
minutes, then we really would be getting excited.<br />

BY ALEX SCOTT-RUDDOCK<br />
England in<br />
SOUTH AFRICA...<br />
I will not lie, I thought they would seriously<br />
struggle against a team who boast two of<br />
the best bowlers in the World and two of<br />
the best batsmen to have played the game<br />
in the past decade.<br />
It is safe to say that England’s<br />
cricketers have well and truly<br />
proven me wrong when it<br />
comes to me criticising the<br />
team selection and the lack<br />
of Ian Bell for the series in<br />
South Africa.<br />
That England have gone on to win the<br />
series 2-1 (at the time of writing England<br />
are 2-0 up but need one hell of a batting<br />
performance to save the 4th and final Test)<br />
shows just how far this side has come and<br />
looks like it will go.<br />
England started the 1st Test without their<br />
senior strike bowler (and the country’s<br />
all time highest wicket taker) James<br />
Anderson in Durban.<br />
This looked from the outside as if it could<br />
potentially cause an issue. Steven Finn,<br />
Moeen Ali and Stuart Broad however<br />
stepped up to the plate and helped<br />
England to win the 1st Test.<br />

SPORT<br />
With Nick Compton (a man who I thought<br />
would not be good enough to replace Ian<br />
Bell at number 3) top scoring with 85 in<br />
the 1st innings and scoring 49 in the 2nd<br />
showing how wrong I was.<br />
This was further helped by Vernan<br />
Phillander missing the entire series through<br />
injury and Dale Steyn (a man who for the<br />
past decade has been the number 1 ranked<br />
bowler in the world) breaking down with<br />
a shoulder injury which has also meant he<br />
missed the last 3 matches of the series.<br />
The second Test in Cape Town was one<br />
which will go down in memory and history<br />
thanks largely to one man.<br />
Ben Stokes hit a remarkably 258 in<br />
England’s 1st innings. What made this an<br />
amazing innings was the pure brutality of it.<br />
Stoke’s 258 broke all sorts of batting<br />
records including the 1st batsman to ever<br />
score a double hundred for England<br />
batting at number 6. Stokes along with<br />
Johnny Bairstow (who scored his maiden<br />
Test century and maiden Test 150) helped<br />
England to posting over 600 for the 1st<br />
time since 2011 against Australia.<br />
Although this went on to be a drawn<br />
match, it was one that will live on for some<br />
time in the memory.<br />
The struggling Captain of South Africa<br />
became the 4th Captain in 4 series<br />
between England and South Africa to<br />
resign. A. B De Villiers was named the new<br />
Captain and this will potentially be very<br />
exciting to watch.<br />
England took a 10 run lead into the 2nd<br />
innings before Stuart Broad stole the show<br />
with another bowling spell which just<br />
shows how hard he is to play when he gets<br />
his tail up.<br />
His 6 for 17 ripped the heart out of the<br />
home side that were eventually all out for<br />
83. This left England needing just 74 to win<br />
which were knocked off (fairly) easily.<br />
During this demolition of the South African<br />
batting line up James Taylor took 2 of the<br />
best catches you will see close to the bat<br />
(fielding at silly mid wicket).<br />
This backing up of the bowlers showed<br />
what this new England side is all about.<br />
The way they have gone about things in<br />
South Africa gives me optimism that they<br />
are heading in the right direction.<br />
The only slight concern which remains<br />
is over the opening batsman to partner<br />
Alistair Cook.<br />
Alex Hales although scoring 60 in the first<br />
innings at Cape Town (the 2nd Test) he has<br />
looked suspect against the ball just outside<br />
off stump.<br />
I hope the selectors will give him more<br />
time in the side as it is a big jump up from<br />
County to Test Match cricket.<br />
Overall the future looks promising... now to<br />
see how the One Day side gets on.<br />
The third Test in Johannesburg was one<br />
South Africa was expected to do very<br />
well at. It was however the tourists who<br />
flourished.<br />

BY NICKI DIXON<br />
Hopefully as we enter <strong>February</strong> the<br />
days will be a little brighter and, who<br />
knows, the snowdrops might be<br />
poking their heads up to cheer us.<br />
Our first big drama for <strong>February</strong> is the<br />
critically acclaimed Land of Our Fathers<br />
which has received five star reviews from<br />
the likes of Time Out and The Stage.<br />
It’s set in 1979 and six Welsh miners are trapped<br />
down a coal mine. As the men await their rescue,<br />
secret emerge and accusations fly and within<br />
two weeks, everything they believe in and<br />
everything they know will have changed.<br />
Also, we welcome legendary DJ David Hamilton<br />
who brings the hits from the 50s and 60s in his<br />
Rock n Roll Back The Years Show on 11 <strong>February</strong>.<br />
This guaranteed to be a proper nostalgic trip<br />
down Memory Lane for music fans!<br />
For those who love that Big Band sound, on 20<br />
<strong>February</strong> we welcome the Nick Ross Orchestra<br />
with the Sounds of Glenn Miller. With a full<br />
line-up of saxophones, trumpets, trombones, a<br />
rhythm section and top singers, the Nick Ross<br />
Orchestra faithfully recreates the wonderful<br />
sounds of the bands led by Glenn Miller, Count<br />
Basie, Harry James and<br />
Tommy Dorsey.<br />
We’re also welcoming back OperaUpClose on 23<br />
and 24 <strong>February</strong> with Bizet’s Carmen.<br />
Set in a torrid South American landscape of<br />
dust and concrete, sparks fly when Carmen<br />
meets Jose but as her passion cools, his turns to<br />
obsession.<br />
Heading towards the end of <strong>February</strong>, Original<br />
Theatre Company presents Flare Path from 29<br />
<strong>February</strong> to 5 March. This epic wartime romance<br />
is set in 1942 and paints a portrait of life in<br />
wartime Britain for RAF bomber crews and their<br />
wives and sweethearts. Highly charged drama<br />
with a truly authentic taste of fear, camaraderie<br />
and passion, it sets the scenes for an emotional<br />
conflict as unpredictable as the war in the skies.<br />
Our new Spring season brochure is now out and<br />
available from our Box Office, or online!<br />

BY JACK STEVENS<br />
MUSIC<br />
Some bands evolve from the ashes<br />
of dead projects – others spawn<br />
from existing and active lines, but<br />
with a different message.<br />
This is a group who are of the latter. Ones to<br />
watch in <strong>2016</strong>, Gaffa Tape Sandy, are a trio<br />
that have emerged as a side project of the<br />
existing West Suffolk quintet FORTUNATO,<br />
but with a heavier sound and more abrupt<br />
message in the form of a double-sided single.<br />
I caught up with them after performing<br />
in Ipswich in early January to gage an<br />
understanding of the new outfit.<br />
So guys, others will know you better as<br />
members of FORTUNATO. This project is<br />
different to that, in how raucous it is. What<br />
inspired the need for a more aggressive side<br />
project?<br />
“Well we’ve all always loved and listened to<br />
this type of music, so decided we wanted<br />
an outlet for the grittier songs that we’ve<br />
been writing in our own time as they’re less<br />
fitting to the sound of FORTUNATO. After<br />
putting the songs together we realised how<br />
much we all like to write catchy, somewhat<br />
unconventional rock songs.”<br />
Your first two tracks (‘Smart Dressed Guy’<br />
and ‘L’appelle Du’Vide’) are being released<br />
117<br />
in <strong>February</strong> as free downloads. I’m aware<br />
that you’re planning to do a CD format for<br />
the singles - will there be any other formats<br />
available and how can people get hold of<br />
them?<br />
“As of now those are our only plans to release<br />
them, but the CDs will be available in shops<br />
that sell local music such as Vinyl Hunter, and<br />
hopefully other shops such as Sounds Plus<br />
and Hardcore Hobbies. We’ll also be taking<br />
them to every show we play, or if people really<br />
want to get a hold of them they can message<br />
our page and we can sort something out! Free<br />
downloads will be available [online] and the<br />
songs will also be available on Spotify and<br />
iTunes.”<br />
I can certainly hear a No-Wave influence in the<br />
new material, with bands like Sonic Youth and<br />
Mission of Burma springing to mind. Is that a<br />
fair comparison? What inspires this type of<br />
music which is different to FORTUNATO?<br />
“I’d say that is a fair comparison! We’re all<br />
big Sonic Youth fans. It’s hard narrowing it<br />
down to just a few inspirations, but we would<br />
include Neutral Milk Hotel, The Gerbils, various<br />
Jack White projects, Wavves and Pixies.”<br />
And what can we expect next from you lot?<br />
Any further long term plans for recording, or<br />
any live dates on the horizon?<br />
“We’re headlining Bury SOUND Heat Two on<br />
<strong>February</strong> 12th, and doing Sounds like the Live<br />
Sessions #2 with SuperGlu and Jack Rundell in<br />
March, both gigs at The Hunter Club [Bury St.<br />
Edmunds]. Currently we’re trying to get more<br />
gigs outside of Bury, and wish to just play as<br />
many shows as we can! In the future we would<br />
love to return to record with the fantastic<br />
George Perks again and have a lot of songs<br />
that are studio-ready.”<br />
See you next month - Jack

Adventures<br />
LOOKING FOR LOVE…<br />
Ahhh Valentines is upon us once<br />
again. A night of love, romance,<br />
spending way too much on<br />
restaurants.<br />
To me, valentines night is one of my most feared,<br />
most stressful and definitely the most hated night of<br />
the year, usually as I have to watch everyone else get<br />
bloomin’ romantic. So after all this observin’ I feel<br />
like a guru now and want to give you my top tips.<br />
1. Book the meal in advance! If you don’t your<br />
romantic meal may involve a Big Mac and fries (or in<br />
dog terms think Lady and the Tramp). If you do end<br />
up at maccy D’s - ask nicely they may have a candle<br />
they could put on the table for you, I still don’t<br />
think your date will be happy about it though. Uff.<br />
course your words are already being slurred by<br />
dessert you’re nearly done. This is generally done<br />
by old married couples who are drinking to hide the<br />
fact that after 10 years of marriage they can’t stand<br />
each other, but on the upside they get to enjoy<br />
dessert twice as it comes back, normally just before<br />
bed.<br />
4. Don’t be to OTT – Be mindful of others like moi, I<br />
know you have your own unique way of trying each<br />
others food, no one needs to see that, I do not share<br />
my food!<br />
Happy V Day! Find me on Twitter @bouncearchie.<br />
2. If it’s a first date… Good luck, a massively highrisk<br />
maneuver taking someone out on Valentines<br />
night as a first date. You’d better make sure you<br />
know the person well otherwise who knows where<br />
you may end up.<br />
3. Watch the boozin’ - Ordering their aperitif before<br />
you even reach the table is a bad sign. By main<br />
