APRIL 2016 / ISSUE 28

THINK back to when you was a kid. The six weeks holidays were an almostmagical time, the highlight of your year. Forget Christmas and birthdays, thatmost sacred of times between the end of July and the start of September wasthe pinnacle. The be all and end all. No school, just fun, sun and quite possiblyboredom, but it didnt matter, these were great times.

Everyone has a different story to tell, from bike rides and playing football tofamily caravan holidays and coach trips. Whatever you did, the sun alwaysshone and you always had a smile on your face.

Its just this type of nostalgia that characterises Sheffield artist PeteMcKees much-loved work. His knack of tapping into those little memories,those defining life moments that cant help but make you grin from ear to ear,is testament to his success. And now hes embarking on his biggest project todate.

Six Weeks to Eternity, which takes place at the Magna ScienceAdventure Centre over the weekend of 14 and 15 May, is filled with not justPetes memories of this most treasured time, but of yours too. Hesactively encouraged people to share their memories of their six weeksholidays, send in pictures via their website (6weeks.co.uk) and hopefully seetheir contributions form part of the exhibition.

Its been a fantastic response, its been absolutely lovely, says a humbledand ever so down to earth Pete. Weve been putting them up [online] on adaily basis. It shows what a love there is for that time. Its heart-warming tosee and great that people have got involved in such a big way. >

From hereto eternity

Take a stroll down memory lane to times of long summerdays playing football in the park, candy floss and caravanholidays in Cleethorpes. Pete McKees latest exhibition isguaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Words: Richard Abbey

In light of this huge interaction the response has already runinto the hundreds Pete is quick to point out that this is not anautobiographical show, this is about broader feelings, experiencesand, more often that not, that huge sense of freedom that youseemed to have as a child.

Ive had to glean a lot of inspiration from the past and what I didin the six weeks holidays. Its that whole kind of celebration ofwhat we did as kids, how we basically ended up getting kicked outin the morning and playing on the streets all day, until it went duskand got called in by our parents.

Chatting with Pete, his passion for this period is infectious. Itcertainly reminded me of the times I spent either playing footballat the park, splash sessions at the school swimming pool or longjourneys to the south coast in convoy with my grandparents. Histalent for tapping into memories that have such a broad appeal,that people can easily relate to, is clear. Its why hes been elevatedfrom a humble local newspaper cartoonist to one the countrys

foremost talents that has seen him work with the likes of NoelGallagher, Sir Paul Smith and Clarks. Not bad for a 50-year-oldfrom Batemoor.

Many of Petes memories come from this corner of southSheffield; hed often find himself wandering up to Coal Aston orDronfield or down to Graves Park with friends. Though there wasalways something to get out of the way first: It started with anorgy of terrible TV. Basically there was one channel and you didntget a choice of what you watched, it tended to be like RobinsonCrusoe, he reminisces.

You may be lucky with the odd cartoon but once Why DontYou? came on, you ran out as fast as you could. It was a case ofwho knocked on whose door first and then you met up and eitherbuilt a den, played football or just ended walking into the nextestate. Mucking around with your mates tended to be theoverriding memory for me, coming up with dreams and schemes.

Family holidays also played a huge part; Petes were usually by


15


coach to somewhere on the east coast. The fondest memoriesthat you have are the holidays you spent with your family, goingaway to Scarborough, Skeggy or Chapel. There was a bit of pocketmoney in the back pocket from your parents and so you felt likekings going into an arcade and spending a quids worth of twopences. They were great times.

Its perhaps no surprise that the bulk of the pictures sent in forthe exhibition are of family holidays but when you think about it,when else did you have a camera?

So lets look at the Magna Science Adventure Centre, it is a bigspace to fill thats a lot of memories and Pete openly admitsthat he was more than a little daunted. The main hall that wereusing is absolutely huge. When you stood in the middle of it andlooked out Simply putting 30 paintings in a big room like that isnot going to cut the mustard so Ive devised other things to sort ofmake a big splash and tell the whole story really, of our youth. Its abig all singing, dancing show.

If you were hoping for any more insight into what to expect, Imsorry to disappoint, Pete was keeping his cards very close to hischest. Were trying to keep it under wraps as much as possible soeveryones pleasantly surprised when they get there, explains Pete.Its all devised and meant to be that when you leave the exhibitionyouve got a big smile on your face. Its not work thats introspectiveor deep and meaningful in that respect, its a joyous occasion.

If you look back on your memories, no matter what age you are,the sun shone pretty much every day. You just remember that, youcant help but remember good times when you think about the sixweeks holidays.

Even without knowing exactly what to expect, with such a bigspace to fill, the amount of work involved to put the show togethermust be huge. Its a big gamble but worth doing, beams Pete.The work started before Christmas. Its been a process for me andmy little team, Chris, Charlie and Lucy and my wife. Theyve all hadto help me out sourcing stuff that I need for the show so its been abig team effort and Ive been beavering away in the studio doingall the nice painting stuff. Theres been a hell of a lot of work.

For Pete, the effort works both ways and hes clear to point out thathis intention is to create something much more than an exhibition butan event in its own right. What I try and do is create an event thathas an I was there sort of feel to it, he explains. It gives more of anair of expectancy. I like that feeling that youre at something special. Indoing that you have to put a lot more effort in as well, its not simplyhanging some pictures on a wall and walking away and hoping peoplelike them. Im making people put a space in the diary to come and seeit so its up to me make sure that its worth their while.

I dont think that will ever be in doubt, Pete is loved not just inSheffield but the world over, but Im sure therell be a huge amountof people queuing up to form their own opinions. Or maybe just tosee themselves and have a big smile on their face while theyredoing it. Which is the whole point of it really, having fun while youtake that little trip down memory lane. It will certainly put a hugesmile on Pete McKees face if you enjoy it as much as hes enjoyedputting it together.

Theprocess is patented, there are no chemicals or flavourings in CiaB,the chocolate is actually marinated over three processes.

When did you start the business and what inspired you?My husband and I got married in Mallorca last year. Whilst out on arecce for wedding ideas, we stumbled across CiaB being served inone of our favourite places... I loved it. My husband (to be at thetime) held on to the promoters business card and arranged severalbottles as a surprise for me at our wedding in July. On our return Itried in vain to find a supplier in the UK, mainly for personal reasons.I realised it hadnt hit the UK at all. Being from a sales background,before I knew it I was negotiating exclusive rights to distribution inthe UK. I felt so passionately about CiaB I just knew it would besomething the people of Britain would embrace (well, most people,of course its not to everyones taste).

What are your views on the artisan scene in Sheffield?The Sheffield artisan scene at the moment is hot! The choice ofvenues to sample artisan foods and drinks is expanding by the day.Its fantastic how we are so proud of what we do and where it/wecome from.

When did you start the business and what inspired you?We are a family-owned, fully-independent business, established in2012 in Sheffield. I have loved coffee for as long as I can remember.A curiosity around the possibility of roasting my own beans at homegradually escalated into a decision to take on some premises andinstall a commercial coffee roaster in a beautiful building in theheart of Nether Edge. Our aim is simple to deliver wonderfullydelicious coffee beans to our customers.

What are your views on the artisan scene in Sheffield?Its an exciting time. With so many great food and drink producers inSheffield, people are seeing that they can enjoy better quality

PUTTING PRIDEBACK INTO THE PIEWhat is your product and what do you feel makes it special?We make our proper pies using the finest ingredients we can, allsourced from our local butcher and greengrocer. They both pridethemselves on the excellence of their produce, making our jobeasier. We take our time to then skillfully cook and prepare thefillings, ensuring that we treat the ingredients with the utmostrespect. Our own recipe all-butter shortcrust pastry is all producedin-house too, ensuring our fillings are encased in nothing but thebest. And we mean encased we dont believe in stews with lids.

When did you start your business and what inspired you?We started trading in May of last yearwhich feels like a few lifetimesago now.I love food,however, it wasnt until losing my dad that Ifound myself truly inspired and motivated to make the most of now.After graduatingat Leeds Uni, I leftmy job atPizza Express andwent on a little trip around Italy. An odd place to be inspired to setup a pie business, I know. What struck me the most was the prideand passion that was put into every meal. No meal would ever justsuffice so much time was dedicated to preparing and perfectingtheir countrysclassics.Arriving back in Yorkshire, I wanted to putthat same pride back into the Great British pie. When I thought ofthe name Pie Eyed, there was no going back really.

What are your views on theartisan scene in Sheffield?I contacted a few of Sheffieldsfavourite street food vendors during our setting-up stage, and wasblown away by the sense of community I found. For example, Trudyand Justine from Percy & Lilys took time outwith me to go throughmy list of endless questions. I dont think Ill ever be able to repaythem for that. The community spirit within Sheffields artisan scenereally is something special, and it feels as though we are all really init together.

Where can we buy your product in Sheffield?Every Thursday we host a pop-up cafe at Union Street in the citycentre. We bring along a mix of our favourite classics and newbies allcan either be eaten in or taken away.We also are increasingly poppingup all over the city at various events such as Peddler, pop-up pub visits,corporate events and a good number of weddings this year too.

Danny had grown up inHackenthorpe, Sheffield, where his dad is still a vicar at ChristChurch, and had attended City School in Stradbroke.

The Return of the

Whisky FilesWith The Shakespeares

Chris Bamford

MIYAGIKYO 10 YEAR OLDThe first whisky distillery in Japanwas founded in 1923 by the Suntorydrinks companies founder ShinjiroTorii near the city of Kyoto,which opened in 1924. Ten yearslater the man hired to be headdistiller, Masataka Taketsuru,founded his own company,which he morphed into Nikka,the other big name in Japanesewhisky, establishing the Yoichidistillery on the island ofHokkaido.

In the last few years, whiskyfrom both these distilleries,especially Yamazaki, have doneexceptionally well at the World Whisky Awards,with several Yamazaki whiskies winning topprizes at the International Spirits. This interesthas seen the availability of Japanese whiskieson the market plummet and prices double.

One we do currently have in stock atShakespeares is Miyagikyo 10 year old, fromNikkas second oldest distillery, established nearSendai in 1969. Both single malt and blendedJapanese whiskies are available; this is a singlemalt, produced, as with most Japanese whiskies,to emulate the Scottish style, which is verypopular in Japan. In this case the whisky is a takeon the clean, soft and mild Speyside/Lowlandvarieties. It currently retails for 4 per 25mlmeasure at Shakespeares.

MACKMYRA SVENSK EKSweden, just across the North Sea from Scotland,is not a country many people associate withwhisky, but has, since 1999, been home toMackmyra distillery. Drawing inspiration fromScottish whisky, but sometimes taking a maverickapproach, a large proportion of their whisky ismatured in specially-made Swedish oak casksfrom trees grown on the island of Visingso, nearthe distillery, which add a distinctive spicycharacter to the whisky.

Svensk Ek is Swedish for Swedish Oak and isthe distillerys flagship regular bottling. Bottledrelatively young, as the new oak has a quickereffect on the character of the whisky, with notesof sandalwood, black pepper and ginger from theSwedish oak, vanilla and toffee from the ex-bourbon barrels. 4 per 25ml.

PAUL JOHN EDITEDIndia is one of the biggest markets for whisky inthe world. The best-selling brand of whisky inthe world, selling over 30 million cases a year isa blended whisky called Officers Choice, madein Kolkata and Delhi (it overtook Johnny Walkerin 2013) and several other Indian brands, allcheaply made blends often not necessarily evenmade entirely of grain, appear in the top ten.These are rarely (if at all) exported but sate thedomestic thirst for whisky. There are, however, acouple of excellent distilleries in India looking toScottish single malt rather than mass-producedblends for inspiration.

Paul John Distillers began making single maltwhisky in 2008 in Goa, using Indian ingredientsapart from a small amount of peat importedfrom Scotland for the malting process. Editeduses between 15-20 per cent peated malt in itsmash and is matured mainly in ex-bourbon casksfor no more than five years the hot and humid,tropical climate of Goa speeds up maturationmarkedly compared to the Scottish highlands (orthe Swedish coast). Its also worth keeping an eyeout for their Brilliance bottling, their unpeatedstandard bottling, and Amrut (their Fusion isavailable at Shakespeares), an award-winningdistillery in Bangalore. Paul John Edited is 3.50per 25ml at Shakespeares.

SO far, apart from oneAmerican whisky in the firstvolume back in November, allthe whiskies featured havebeen Scottish, so this monthwere broadening ourgeographical horizons and lookat three single malt whiskiesmade in non-traditional whiskyproducing countries.

Whisky has been made inIreland and Scotland forcenturies. Records of a licensefor distilling in County Antrim inIreland date back to 1608,where Bushmills distillery wasfounded in 1784.

Across the Atlantic, bourbonproduction seems to havestarted in the late 18th century,similar to the situation inCanada, which was once one ofthe biggest whiskey producersin the world but has seen itsindustry decline markedly in thelast 50 years.

These are the countrieswhich are considered thetraditional whisk(e)y producers.There are, however, someexcellent whiskies producedaway from these heartlandsacross the globe.

NOW OPEN IN

SHEFFIELD

SPRING has sprung and with it comes a new season of tastyvegetable delights. A highlight in April is the first spears ofasparagus and the sweetest Jersey royal new potatoes.

There couldnt be a better time to launch a new regular columnon vegetarian food. Im Jon Tite, a lifelong vegetarian andprofessional chef for the last 15 years. You can find me and mycooking at the Showroom cinema in Sheffield city centre. We offera wide variety of dishes, and my team and I pride ourselves onmaking everything in house; from the cakes on the deli counter tothe ice creams on the kiosk and everything else in between.

I thought Id use this column to act as an agony uncle, andanswer your questions on vegetarian food; your daughter could beinviting her new vegetarian boyfriend for dinner, or your auntyJane may have chosen to follow meat-free Mondays. Hopefullyover the next few months I can offer a bit of advice on how notto panic, but more importantly to encourage experimentation its not all about meat and two veg!

Feel free to tweet me (@jontheveggie) with any questions andIll do my best to answer them. Ill feature one question in eacharticle. To get you started Ive included a simple recipe for a springfrittata. This dish is perfect to eat as the nights are getting longerand thoughts of summer are creeping in.

Meet Jon the Veggie... and try hisfabulous spring frittata.

Serves 2 Ingredients6 new potatoes

1 bunch spring onions,sliced into 1cm rounds

A handful of peas5 asparagus spears,

sliced into 2cm rounds4 free range eggs

75ml double cream65g feta (cubed)

A few leaves of tarragon,parsley and mintSalt and pepper

EquipmentA frying pan that can

go under the grill

SPRING FRITTATA MethodCook the new potatoes for 15-20 minutesor until a knife easily passes through them. Slice the asparagus into 2cm pieces. Addto the boiling potatoes when they haveabout a minute left. Drain and refresh incold water to stop them cooking. In a medium-sized frying pan heat 2tbspof olive oil and, over a medium heat, fryoff the spring onion for about 5 minutes.Finely chop the herbs and halve the newpotatoes before adding to the pan. Sautfor a few minutes until they take on a bitof colour. Keep stirring. Crack the eggs into a jug, add the creamand whisk until well combined. Add thechopped herbs and season.Turn the heat up and add the asparagus,peas and cubed feta. Mix well and afterone minute add the egg mix. Turn the heatdown to just below medium and cookuntil the edges have started to harden up.While the frittata is cooking turn onyour grill to a medium setting.Put the whole pan under the grill forabout 5 minutes. Alternate between thehob and the grill until the frittata feelsfirm. This takes roughly 10 minutes.

The roomThe room was very classiccontemporary with anextremely comfortable bed,coupled with the location, weslept in so much peace. Thebreakfast next day was fit for aking and the smoked salmonwith scrambled eggs was worthyof the visit alone. It was just aone-night stay but I can trulysay we left feeling like we hadhad a very very relaxing breakand couldnt praise Losehill Hallenough. We shall return.

See website for offerswww.losehillhouse.co.uk

LOSEHILL Hall Hotel & Spa is possibly the best-kept secret inthe Peak District. A gorgeous drive from Sheffield brings us to anarrow lane which leads to the most beautiful setting andproperty, the only four-star hotel located within the heart of thePeak District National Park.

This was to be a rare one night getaway so we were going tomaximise the opportunity for a bit of a pamper and, from whatwe had heard, some amazing food.

The SpaThe spa facilities at Losehill House offer a tranquil indoor heatedpool with panoramic views over Winhill and the Hope Valley,steam room, sauna and an outdoor hot tub, with dedicatedchanging rooms.

We spent a good few hours in here relaxing with the highlightbeing the hot tub outside we went on a very cold day and aquick dash to plunge in the hot tub was well worth thegoosebumps as the scenery was just sublime!

Onto the treatments...

THALGO AROMATIC BACK MASSAGEEnjoy a deeply relaxing massage with a soothing blend ofaromatic oils helping to ease tense muscles in the back, neckand shoulders. Appointment Time 40 minutes 35

This was fabulous. The therapist had a great touch and released afew knots that had built up. I left feeling like I was walking on air!

Spoil your loved ones and yourself at Losehill Hall Hotel & Spa.Melanie Jackson takes full advantage.


WE gave you a little taste last month but now Tapas Revolutionhas now opened its doors at Meadowhall.

Brought to Sheffield by Omar Allibhoy, the super-stylishrestaurant, situated upstairs in the Oasis, looks hugely impressive. Atapas-style counter bar/open kitchen adds a touch of authenticitywhile the strings of Iberico ham from it leave you positivelydrooling.

As we settled into our booth-style table the menu took me backto Barcelona, seeing favourites such as padron peppers and pulpo ala gallega (steamed octopus with potatoes). We were spoilt forchoice so and the waitress advised us to go for four or five choicesand see how we go. Heres what we ate:

Croquetas de jamn deep-fried Ibrico ham andbchamel croquettes, 4.75

Torreznos con mojo dulce crispy pork belly with sweet andspicy sauce, 5.75

Pinchos morunos con mojo picn marinated beef skewerswith a spicy dipping sauce, 6.75

Calamares fritos deep-fried squid with alioli, 5.50

Pimientos de Padrn (v) fried sweet green peppers, 4.95

All were outstanding and soauthentic. The one that reallyimpressed was the beef skewers,perfectly cooked and spiced toperfection. I just needed the sunand La Rambla.

We finished with two fantastic desserts Torrija (caramelisedbrioche bun soaked in custard, served warm) 4.75, and Quesada(baked cheesecake with raspberries) 4.50.

Tapas Revolution made quite the impression, this is seriouslygreat tapas, as good as any Ivetasted. Be sure to pay them avisit and then finish off with abag of Churros while you arewandering The Lanes.

WHEN I first opened Mr Pickles Yorkshire Food Emporium Iwanted to offer everyone the chance to eat seasonally because Ithink its become increasingly difficult over the years.

A lot of shoppers are out of touch with the seasons becausesupermarkets sell a full range of fruit and veg all year round,regardless of whether its in season, or where its sourced from.Take asparagus for instance; once only available during itsrelatively short season of just over a month, its now a weekly treatthanks to imports from Peru.

Here at Mr Pickles we source fruit and veg from Yorkshirebased Organic Pantry and Sheffield Organic Growers so theseasons play a huge part in what we stock. Although we donthave everything all year round, we think this opens upopportunities that cant always be found in the supermarket.

Firstly theres the chance to cut down on air miles. Rather thanrelying on food imported from overseas, our customers takecomfort in the knowledge that our fresh produce is sourced from

Yorkshire based businesses. Shopping locally also means that yourmoney goes direct to small independent producers who appreciateevery penny and reinvest it into the community.

Another important factor is the taste. Eating seasonally andlocally means eating fresh which has a huge impact on the flavour.Take the asparagus example again which will taste better? Thefreshly picked, Yorkshire grown variety or the week old stuff flownin from halfway across the world?

Right now, the Mr Pickles team is excited about producecoming into season over the next month or so. From pak choi tospring greens and cucumbers to radishes, were looking forward tosome new flavours on our plates Im sure our meals willbecome lighter and brighter as a result too.

Im especially looking forward to the return of purple sproutingbroccoli. Nuttier and sweeter than its bigger brother, purplesprouting broccoli is great simply steamed and served on the side,but I also like to showcase it as the main ingredient of my meal.

I cook it with chorizo and serve it with pasta just scan thepage for my recipe. The spiciness of the chorizo works really wellwith the tender sweet broccoli.

If you need any advice onhow to eat seasonally, or ifyoure looking for somerecipe ideas, just pop in tosee us at Mr Pickles were alwayshappy to help andtalk food!

WHETHER sartorial or street is your style, Savills is the go to hubof gentlemanly style in Sheffield. Our customers range fromtattooed punks and skinheads to dapper gents and those youngchaps whose style direction is not quite yet determined.

At Savills we cater for everyone and are great at translating ideas,plus emerging and historical trends, into what looks good now.Dont just take our word for it, check out our contribution toMartin Roachs awesome book Dr Martens A History ofRebellious Self Expression. In our contribution to the chapter onDiversity, we define styling evolving and growing as being more ofan expectation of the modern gent to be well-groomed, that nowcomes naturally as being opposed to being a lifestyle choice. In thepast, a mans style was often a clear sign of his social status or evenanti-fashion/establishment stance (as in mods, punks, skinheads etc.):the global breakdown in social stereotypes has impacted on thereduction of expectations of guys to group within a particular stylegenre resulting in more of a fluidity of style and an integration ofmany styles that have occurred throughout history.

This is mirrored in the accompanying fashion accouterments thatwe offer at Savills and the regular pilgrimage from Savile Row ofour preferred tailor who kits us out and those customers who areafter tailoring their own look. Literally.

Tie pins, cufflink sets, hats and leather accessories are also offeredfor perusal and sale. So, it begs the question, how does the moderngent about Sheffield rock these adornments?

To some, styling these masculine trimmings comes naturally, it ishanded down from father to son. For others, inspiration comesfrom friends or their barber. Yes, we have many mums whobring their sons to us for some style injection and guys themselveswho leave our place with a little more inspiration over and abovejust a great haircut.

* The right odour that you emit goes a long way. Smelling fresh andsharp will also make you feel so too. Whether is comes from yourcologne, beard oil, hair pomade or shaving products, its one of themost important accessories of any mans image.

* Owning a good pair of cufflinks is a detail that makes a big differenceto an outfit. Assuming that you are wearing a double cuff shirt, theywill be noticed and can show off your character and personal style.The unwritten rule should be simple and sophisticated.

* Pocket squares are an elegant accessory that can be folded in amyriad of ways (see Pinterest for inspiration), but do avoid matchingit to your tie. Aim for a similar tone or a sharp contrast to your suit.

* No way round having to lug about a dozen keys? Our vegetabledyed ox leather key fobs are hand made in Sheffield and just getbetter looking with age.

* Hats. A hat is timeless fashion piece that has never fallen out offashion, but in recent years has reemerged stronger and as a keypiece of many looks. We offer a range of baker boy, fedoras and porkpie hats. If you are not sure if its your thing, pop in for a free try on.

Ah, the art of manly style, we could really go on and on with tips andtechniques. Alas time waits for no man, but we will. Pop into Savills nexttime you are passing to check out how we can sharpen your look.

AS the temperature warms we awake from our winter slumberand prepare for the longer days, extra sunshine andincreasingly active lifestyle that summertime brings. Perhapsthis explains why vintage sportswear styles are making a hugecomeback, with eighties track tops, college sweats, silkybombers and American football shirts all qualifying asspringtime must-haves.

Vintage sportswear appeals to so many as it offers comfortand style in the ultimate combination. Right now, comfy iscool. Male and female styles are crossing over to create aunisex look that appeals to everyone.

If the sun is out our favourite look of the moment is asimple white tennis skirt with a vintage velour track top. Slingyour favorite leather rucksack over your shoulder to break upthe sports vibe. Try adding knee high socks for a twist (and anextra touch of warmth).

One thing the sportswear trend doesnt shy away from iscolour. Be bold in your outfit choices, but when in doubt stick toa three-tone colour scheme to maintain a level of coordination.

ELIZA ANDTHE BEAREliza And The BearOver the past few years, theresbeen a rise in uplifting indieanthems (think: VampireWeekends A Punk) and thesingles from Eliza And TheBears self-titled album havefirmly established themselvesamong them.

New single Friends makes atriumphant opening with theenergetic trumpets andshouting harmonies the band isknown for.

Radio-friendly singles LionsHeart and Light It Up are stand-out tracks, but slower songssuch as the gritty Make It On MyOwn and the piano-laced Cruelgive lead singer JamesKellegher a chance to show asofter side to his vocals andgives the album more variety.

WE ARESCIENTISTSHelter SeltzerThe buzzing guitars andinteresting key changes give firstsingle and opening album trackBuckle a grungey sound thatsome We Are Scientists fansmight not expect.

The band has always beenrough around the edges, but fifthalbum Helter Seltzer takes asmoother, yet emotionally darkerapproach, than their best-knownalbum With Love And Squalor.

However, tracks such as In MyHead and newest single, TooLate present plenty of sing-alongopportunities, whilst Waiting ForYou and Headlights providesome light relief.

Whatever category you wantto stick We Are Scientists in,Helter Seltzer has plenty of hitpotential.

ALL SAINTS Red FlagIt felt like All Saints would never ever come back (sorry!), but here weare ten years after their last album Studio 1 which, lets face it, waswidely ignored. However, this offering shows much more promise.

One Strike sweeps us up in melodic 80s guitars and lyrics said tobe about the moment Liam Gallagher confessed to his recent affair.

Make U Love Me has all the rnb sass the girls first becamefamous for, Ratchet Behaviour is a brilliant dub tune that would godown well in a Jamaican dance hall, whilst the dark and boomingtitle track Red Flag balances minimal verses with poppy choruses.

Who Hurt Who is a more mature take on the heartbreak ballad,but die-hard fans will much prefer the catchier 1997 hit Never Ever.

Red Flag is a fantastic comeback album full of variety and mostimportantly, the girls gorgeous and familiar vocals.

When someone as ridiculously talented as Jamie Woon (orSwoon as I like to call him) comes along, its a wonder he hasremained under the radar for so long.

Debut album, Mirrorwriting was widely acclaimed when itwas released in 2011, but it wasnt until the release ofCelebration featuring Willy Mason and the soulful Sharpnessfrom his second album Making Time last summer, that hestarted receiving the attention and radio airplay he deserves.

Nevertheless Jamie Woon has certainly come a long way.Once a one-man performer with the help of his guitar and looppedals, he has beautifully translated his performances with afull live band including a bassist, keyboardist and drummer.

After soulful support artist Jordan Rakei, the main room ofPlug was plunged into darkness and anticipation, as thehaunting electronic opening notes of Movements seduced thecrowd.

Woons smooth vocals certainly wooed the crowd, but histhree backing singers nearly stole the show with theircaptivating harmonies, matching caps and T-shirts, andenergetic gestures.

Night Air had the biggest applause from the crowd, whilstSharpness and Celebration provided the perfect opportunityfor a sing-along.

A cover of Aaliyahs Try Again was an unexpected pleasureand gave Woons backing singers a chance to demonstratetheir perfect and intricate vocals, before Woon returned to thespotlight alone for a heart-melting, acoustic encore ofShoulda.

If the Swoon is ever back in this neck of the woods, he is notto be missed. Along with his electrifying band and impressivebacking singers, fans and new listeners alike will see why he isone of the most underrated artists our time.

COMING SOON...Youll hardly be scratching around for something to do thismonth; theres more than enough to keep you entertained,from old school classics to new kids on the block.

From a retro standpoint, you can relive the spirit of Britpopat The Leadmill with the likes of Super Furry Animals (26April) and The Bluetones (29 April). Closer to home, andperhaps quite as retro, Milburn have reformed for a handfulof gigs at the O2 (28-30 April).

If youre looking for the next big thing, Alxndr (21 April)at the O2 and New Dawn Fades (22-23 April) at TheLeadmill should whet your appetite. Plug have their ownoffering with a triple-header on 22 April O Captain, TheLeathernecks and The Homesteads all take to the stage.Vant appear on 23 April.

LISTEN IN...KELVIN JONESStop The Moment From teaching himself guitar with the help of YouTube, toreceiving over a million views in 24 hours on Reddit, theinternet has played a huge part in creating this singer-songwriter.

As You Wake Up isnt the most grabbing introduction to analbum, but Call You Home more than makes up for it with itstinges of country guitar the perfect track for your drivingplaylist. Title track Stop The Moment is the strongest songfilled with 80s pop synths, whilst the sadder Even Now isminimal and raw.

THE Light Blue range of bikeshas a long history. Started in1895 by J.A. Townsend inCambridge, they were around atthe start of it all, when cyclingwas cool for the first time andnow they have been reborn fora time when cycling is growingand the interest is peaking.

These bikes are all made ofsteel; not just any steel, though,its Reynolds Steel Tubing. Nowsome will not understand thesignificance of this but it really issomething. Reynolds Tubing wasdeveloped for the aeronauticalindustry so is incrediblylightweight for its strength andthe bicycle industry picked upon this. This means that you geta steel bike that weighs less thanmany aluminium bikes so goesfaster and is easier to pedal upthose fine steep hills thatSheffield is so well known for.

Its been a while, I know, butI still remember the heavy steelbike I had as a kid, and they stillexist. The weight of the bikewas in part due to the strengthof frame required and cheapersteel has to be thicker to giveyou that strength. You find a lotof bikes still around like this andI would say we have ageneration of cyclists who havenever truly experienced riding asteel bike, its all beenaluminium and carbon fibre, butsteel is a different rideexperience altogether.

Riding a steel bike just feels

right, its softer than aluminiumand carbon fibre but still veryresponsive. It doesnt only feellighter it looks lighter, sleekerand just right for a bike. Itsthe image of Hinault climbingthe Alpes DHeuz in the Tourde France, its a bike that youknow could take you aroundthe world, you know you cantrust it.

Steel may not win you arace, it may not give you anyKOMs on Strava, but if youtake one of our demo modelsout for a spin youll realise thatit is worth considering.

The Light Blue range comes insix models ranging from modernRacers and Tourers to classic RetroRides valid for Eroica. Prices startat 999.99. Pop into our shop atSheffield Railway Station to viewthe range and take a test ride.

Anyone wanting to ride theEroica Britannia may wish tohire a valid bike from us forthe event. We have a numberof valid bikes of varying sizesavailable from our Neepsendshop.

Its time for a new season offilms and events at theShowroom. Avoid Aprilshowers and take a seat inthe cinema for some of theyears best new releases, oldclassics, and gems of worldcinema that you wont seeanywhere else. Heres someof our picks for the monthahead.

Sleaford Mods have emerged asthe voice of an embitteredBritain, and their aim is clear:to give a voice to those whodont have one. InvisibleBritain follows Sleaford Modson a tour of the UK in the runup to the 2015 GeneralElection and visits some of theneglected, broken down andboarded up parts of thecountry that many wouldprefer to ignore. Part tour

documentary, part socialcommentary, and showing at aone-off screening on Saturday24 April.

Victoria is a cinematicexperience that will shake you:a one-take, single-shot filmthat takes place over one nightand early morning on thestreets of Berlin. A youngSpanish student meets a groupof wayward friends in a cluband follows them into a worldof partying, drugs and crime,but at its core, loyalty and love.A film that perfectly capturesthe scintillating promise ofempty city streets at 4am and isas exhilarating and intense as afilm can be. Youll be talkingabout it for weeks afterwards.

The most expensive Japanesefilm ever made on its release in1985, Akira Kurosawas Ran isa true classic of cinema.

Stunningly beautiful,ridiculously vast and withsome of the greatest battlescenes ever committed to film,Ran is a chaotic, hellish visionof war populated by samurai,emperors, warriors andwarlords. If you have anyinterest in war films orJapanese cinema, this is one ofthe best!

Do you remember E.T. (whodoesnt)? Midnight Special is afilm that harks back to thegolden days of Spielbergs sci-fichase movies. A mysteriousyoung boy with unknownpowers is pursued by the FBI, acult and countless others. Whatdo they want with him, andwhat will happen if they catch

him? Details of the film arehard to come by, but trust us dont read any spoilers. Let itsurprise you. The end of theworld could well be nigh.
