<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 />

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 />

Feeling refreshed and hungry, we walked down to<br />

the elegant and modern restaurant decorated in<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 />

Both of the<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 />

FEBRUARY FEBRUARY <strong>2016</strong> | <strong>2016</strong> ISSUE | ISSUE #40 | #40 FEATURE<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 />

Becky<br />

Beth<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 />

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 />

finish in style. The hour long session passed very<br />

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

whole body knew it had been put through a great<br />

won’t be long at all before you notice a difference<br />

in your shape, weight and fitness levels.<br />

The next full course will start on Tuesday March<br />

8th and will run for 8 weeks until the end of April.<br />

The schedule as follows...<br />

Monday morning 6:45-7:45am<br />

Wednesday morning 7:15-7:45am<br />

at Unit 1 Gym, Kempson Way, Bury St Edmunds<br />

If you’d like all 32 sessions (4 per week) it’ll cost<br />

£160, fancy just evenings or just mornings? Then<br />

a half course of 16 sessions (2 per week) will cost<br />

just £99. Can’t wait? There is a course running<br />

right now and you can join for £8 per session.<br />

by the Bootcamp Instructor who is tasked<br />

with motivating and driving the group with an<br />

abundance of positivity and they don’t come<br />

SPORT<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 />

FEBRUARY FEBRUARY <strong>2016</strong> <strong>2016</strong> | ISSUE | ISSUE #40 #40 | SPORT<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 />

FEBRUARY FEBRUARY <strong>2016</strong> <strong>2016</strong> | ISSUE | ISSUE #40 #40 | SPORT<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 />

THEATRE<br />

ROYAL<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 />

#21 ENTERTAINMENT<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 />
