Last year she took a backseat while recording her new album ‘21’ and brought the nation to tears at this years Brit’s. With her new single ‘Someone Like You’ going straight to the top of the charts it is clear that her absense last year really made Britain’s heart grow fonder for the 22 year old.

With her unique voice and style, she has described her tone as ‘heartbroken soul’. Adele’s new album ‘21’ is as beautiful as ever. One track to listen to and cherish is ‘Set Fire to the Rain’. It’s captivating sound accompanied by her exquisite voice is unbelievable.

But as well as her writing talents, her voice is what

Rihanna is without a doubt the most played artist on the radio across the board. The nation cannot get enough of the Barbadian singer and her duets with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Eminem, Jay-Z, Drake and Kanye West. The fearless individual has achieved seven UK number one smash hits and continues to gain even more fans every day.

Her current album ‘Loud’ features the likes of ‘Only Girl In The World’, ‘Who’s That Chick?’ and ‘S&M’. These are favourites that will be performed on her tour which kicks off in October of this year.Radio listeners have been requesting her songs from day one back in 2005 and it doesn’t look like her fans are anywhere near tired of her yet.

has made Britain fall in love with her debut album ‘Who You Are’. Racing to the number one spot in the charts with ‘Do It Like A Dude’ and ‘Price Tag’, she has been described as the best singer in the world by none other than Justin Timberlake. She’s the one to watch in 2011 and radio listeners want to hear even more of her.

Lady Gaga, the legend. She has shocked the media with her outfits, raunchy videos and her talent.

Every young girls idol she is challenging trends as well as stereotypes. Her unique voice first fell upon our ears in 2008 with ‘Just Dance’. Since then she has had multiple hits and earned her status as one of the most famous women in the world today.

Her style makes her so unique that she is impossible to forget. Her controversial dress and accessories made of meat at the VMA’s stunned viewers, fellow celebrities and the world’s media. She is one of the most requested and played artists on the radio and the listeners are continuously begging for more.

Male anorexia is grasping the lives of more men every year with no sign of ceasing. The thought of eating a meal making some men shiver with fear seems ridiculous; yet it is more real than it has ever been.

monday a!ernoons at the gym are full of men working o" the weekend’s curries, beer and crisps but for a minority of

men, even the thought of a meal is daunting let alone a whole weekend of binge eating and drinking. Male anorexia is taking away lives and making the thought of calories create shivers throughout su"erer’s bodies.

Horri#c stories about girls or women with anorexia nervosa are featured daily in many di"erent magazines, online and are told from person to person. However, the issue of male anorexia is hidden under a blanket of secrecy across the world. According to many of the leading support organisations including Beat, the charity aiming to combat eating disorders, 15% of anorexia nervosa su"erers are male. $e number of su"erers is rising at an extremely fast pace so maybe it’s time to #nd out why.

Working with food is a nightmare for any person with an eating disorder as it means battling a devil every time food service begins. Jack Ward, a 20 year old Restaurant Supervisor; felt embarrassed and ashamed of his attitude towards food every time he started a shi!. “I’m happy to serve the customers and I enjoy my job, but I dreaded the shi!s where there are le! over puddings or the chef has to o"er me the meal he’s just made to the sta" because the presentation is awful. I tried to hide from my sta" just so I didn’t have to eat a spoonful. $is only made me loathe myself even more.”

Starting to su"er from the disorder at 13 years old, Jack realised that he was going to have a harder time dealing with puberty than most kids. Top of his class, never received a detention, a genius in the making; Jack’s world began to crash around him because of the older kids.

“I was teased when I was little for being fat by some top years, but I realise now it was the puppy fat that most boys have. I took it to heart and thought that the only way for everyone to like me was to just stop eating,” he said.

Not only did this hinder his growth but it a"ected him emotionally to the point of depression; “I would never let myself cry, because I was a boy and that would end in more grief at school, but I just wanted the world to swallow me up.”

Jack was a great runner and he found that losing weight helped him to beat his previous records in the 100m sprint. He soon became the popular athlete that he had been dreaming of and felt as though he was being rewarded for the choices he was making. Every boy in school wanted to be him, with the girls following him

around like sheep. But inside, he was realising that the joy of being popular is short-lived when your body is beginning to fail.

A!er months of not eating his weight had dropped from 9 stone to 6 and a half. It was only then that Jack’s mum #nally realised what was happening to her blue-eyed boy.

“I was sitting in my room playing with the empty sweet wrappers I had found at school to convince my family I was eating. My mum came in and without saying a word I knew she no longer believed my lies. I broke down and confessed about the secrecy and pain.” With the support of his family he managed to open up to a counsellor.

“She laughed at me. I had never felt so ashamed to be who I was. She told me that I was obviously craving attention and to simply just eat. But by this point I was struggling so much with the disorder that I would spend multiple hours a day looking in the mirror and tugging at pieces of skin, #nding any bit of me I could to scrutinize. To ‘just eat’ was the only race that I couldn’t seem to win.”

So the cycle of lies started again when jack told his parents that talking to the councillor had helped, but he continued to avoid any interaction with food that he could.

“$ere were multiple times over the years that my mum asked me if I was still having problems as I sat there in my oversized jumpers with food stains down them that I had purposely put there. I would always tell her the same thing; if there was didn’t she think I would tell her. I’d put food o" my plate into my pocket when no

one was looking and I’d put the crumbs from the toaster on a plate to look like I’d eaten. I got to the point where I wasn’t able to lose any more weight however hard I tried and I succumbed to the reality that this was what was going to kill me. If I’m honest I couldn’t wait.”

But in March 2010, Jack was at work in his home town of Essex and #nally found a reason to make his life better. In the place he felt most vulnerable, he never expected to be able to talk to a girl, yet alone #nd the love of his life.

“She walked in and all the lads couldn’t stop staring at her; she was stunning. I made sure I was the one to serve her and her friends their dinner and gave them as many freebies as I could get away with. A!er two hours of drooling over this girl %icking her hair and pouting her lips; she handed me their payment, and written on the bottom of the bill was her phone number.”

A!er a few dates and a #rst kiss, Jack realised it would soon be time to tell Lauren about his hidden truth. Finally, plucking up the courage a!er two months of dating, he told her everything and her reaction was the best

he could have received. She supported him and

encouraged him to get help and to make his life better. Nine months on Lauren has

helped Jack to start the recovery process, sat with him through every counselling

session and been the rock he needed to #nd. With her support Jack managed to eat his #rst three course meal and is enjoying life more than he ever has. “I needed someone to drag me out of the hole that was only getting deeper, and who knew that a gorgeous girl would be that person.”

Arnold Anderson, a leading academic expert in male anorexia, reveals that this is a very common story. According to research there are four main triggers for the disorder, the most common being to avoid be teased for being fat. So with tackling bullying in schools, the issue of anorexia in young boys could almost be eliminated. $e others include to help improve a relationship and to improve athletic ability.

At 29, unlike Jack, Brian Fox is still struggling to battle the disorder that doctors have warned could eventually end his life. At the di&cult age of 14, Brian had his #rst crush at school. Following her round like a puppy he wanted more than anything for her to feel the same but instead she teased him. Calling him ‘fat’ and making it obvious she wasn’t interested was to turn Brian’s life upside down. He had never been much of a fan of eating breakfast but he decided just to cut out the idea all together. $is developed quickly into cutting

out lunch and only picking at his dinner. With this dangerous regime he began to rapidly lose weight, loosing multiple pounds every week. It was only when he turned eighteen that things hit rock bottom.

“It had been around ten days since I had eaten, and I was told that I could not join the Marine Corps and I was held back in high school due to poor performance. I drank three pints of Schnapps and took 100 valium pills. I then took it one step further and slit both of my wrists. A!er I was in the hospital, they told me that if I didn’t start eating I would die.”

To most people it would seem like the solution would be to change your lifestyle and #ght, but for Brian that wasn’t what he wanted and so he carried on the way he had for the previous 4 years. Today, an IT technician with

a good salary, he is still a victim to the illness and cannot #nd a reason to end his su"ering. Having a young son and a loving girlfriend is not even enough to drag him from his despair.

“My biggest fear is that I am going to pass this disease onto my young son. If I could tell him one thing before I finally succumb to this disease it would be just to love himself first. Once he can do that, he will be impervious to the wicked arrows shot at him by his peers. I was never that lucky.”

“In a fast paced society, the #rst look is o!en the only look,” Anderson says, which puts pressure on people to be attractive more than ever. With celebrities dominating the media market with their stylish attire and air-brush

perfect #gures, the disorder is dominating more lives than ever before. $is is bound to only have a negative result as people battle to be the skinniest or most desirable. ‘Manorexia’ rates have risen by around 70% in the past few years, and although it is hard to be sure of the exact number of su"erers in the UK; it is certain that the illness is taking hold of more and more lives.

Because of the attitudes in today’s society, many su"erers of this disorder are embarrassed to seek help in case they are assumed to be homosexual or pathetic. Not all men are pure muscle and an automatic ladies magnet but this is how males are expected to be in a perfect world. With the general attitude of the public being that eating disorders are a ‘girl’s problem’, this drives male su"ers away from the clinics. $is doesn’t need to be the case and

as the attitudes in society change the disorder may become a wider known issue.

Watching someone decrease in weight and increase in self-loathing isn’t a situation that

any one wants to #nd themselves in but if you can help someone to regain their life, do so.

Arnold Anderson gives advice on how to cope if you think that someone you know has the mental illness. “It doesn’t work to be food police or get angry at the person who has an eating disorder. Know the signs and symptoms, and then tell them you’ll get o" their back if they keep an appointment at a quali#ed clinic with experience in eating disorders.”

In the end, the only person who can truly help a male anorexia su"erer is himself, but the pain and su"ering of Jack and Brian shows that this mental illness can manipulate and destroy lives regardless of whether they have positive support.

18 / DECEMBER 2010

Along with al-bums under his belt and gig experi-ence starting from his early

teens, Joe Wellfair is heading for success at the top. At the age of 20, Joe is follow-ing his dream of making it in the business. He’s been in mul-tiple bands, performed at some of the country’s most famous venues and he is still getting to enjoy the student life. I met up with him during a session in the studio to ask him just how he’s becoming a sensation.

When did you first realise your life aim was to work in the mu-sic business?I was 14, my sister had started to get pretty good at the guitar and I became insanely jealous. I practiced on an old acoustic that my mum had put in the

attic and eventually got a bass guitar of my own. I taught my-self to play bass for about a year, eventually I got an electric. I be-came completely obsessed and have wanted to do nothing else ever since.

What instruments can you play or want to learn?I mostly play guitar and sing but I can also play bass, harmoni-ca and can just about hold my own on a drum kit. I’ve also just started to teach myself piano but I think I’ll need lessons if i want to get good at it.What experience do you have playing in a band?I was in six different bands when i was at school but only stayed with one of them when i

left. I was in that band for about three years and we were quite well known in our local area. Now I’m in a band called ‘Cas-tles’ with my sister and two of my best friends. I’ve also just started a new project at univer-sity with some people from the performance course and that’s going well so far.Where have you done gigs?I’ve played loads of places from Dublin Castle in London, The Kasba in Coventry, The Gloust-er Guildhall, some venues in Bristol, Birmingham and many more; as well as countless little pubs all over the place.Where was your first gig?At a pub in Gloucester called The Greyhound. It was my friend’s 18th party and we were paid £100 to play for three hours. Being our first gig, we only had about 45 minutes of material so had to repeat songs and improvise. I think it’s fair to

“I became obsessed”

Many of us have dreams of being members of ‘The Plain White Tees ‘ or ‘ ‘The Kooks’, but only a few have the determination to try. Joe Wellfair tells Amy Bennett how hes aiming for the stars...

DECEEMBER 2010 / 3

say we earned the £25 each, it was exhausting!How did you go about getting your name out there?We made a myspace and then got all of our friends to come along to all our gigs, played competitions and pubs and lit-tle venues. We also made busi-ness cards and flyers. It’s all about self promotion really. What lucky breaks have you had so far?We were offered a record deal

when we were at an ex bankers studio. He could have been able to take us somewhere

but, we got a contract through the post and it was clear that he was trying to rip us off.We supported the Holloways and the Red Light Company. That was good fun.

What are your plans for the fu-ture?I really want to get a good band going and just work really hard. Castles is good fun and we all work really well together so I’d love to see how far we can push ourselves.

Do you have an idol?I always obsess over artists and wish I was them so I have quite a few. Bob Dylan, Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel, Win But-ler of Arcade Fire, Gareth of Los Campesinos, Matt Beringer of The National, the list goes on. I could go on for hours about these guys!

The ambition Joe shows is sure to lead him on to huge suc-cess and is already creating quite an interest. Have a listen to ‘Castles’ material at www.myspace.com/castlestheband. Joe proves that even through knocks and disappointments, if you’ve got the passion you can yourself become an idol.
