Welcome to J’AIME As we go to press with this issue on International Women’s Day, it seems fitting that our first feature of the month covers a brand new film, launched on this very day, to commemorate the remarkable achievements of Mercedes Gleitze, the first British woman to swim the English Channel in 1927. Vindication Swim is the culmination of a threeyear passion project for director Elliott Hasler, and covers Mercedes’ incredible swim, and the build-up to her Channel attempt, which saw her take part in training swims around the Midlands. We caught up with Elliott ahead of the film’s launch in cinemas nationwide to find out more. Elsewhere, there’s plenty going on around the Midlands to keep the whole family entertained this spring. We take a look at the impressive lineup for Lichfield Literature Festival, plus we chat to Liverpool band The Coral, who are bringing their eponymous debut album to the stage at the Lichfield Garrick more than two decades after its release for an intimate evening of music and conversation. And it doesn’t stop there; we’ve got tickets for the whole family to enjoy one of Staffordshire’s flagship countryside events, the Staffordshire County Show, up for grabs for five lucky winners. With the latest in seasonal food from Lichfield chef Jack Dubberley, plus fashion, beauty and interiors trends to update your home, wardrobe and more, there’s plenty going on here at J’AIME this spring!
