JOHN WORMALD APPLEYARD, 1831-1894STONEMASON AND SCULPTOR

One of the ‘must-see’ attractions for visitors to Leeds is Thornton’s Arcade, between Briggate and

Lands Lane, with its famous ‘Ivanhoe’ automated clock on the wall at the end – people still gather

to watch its colourful, life-size figures move to strike the hour. When the arcade opened in 1878 this

novelty clock attracted such crowds that it had to be stopped for a couple of weeks to allow people

to shop! Made by the famous Leeds firm of Potts & Sons, it featured four figures from Sir Walter

Scott’s bestseller – Robin Hood, Friar Tuck, Richard Lionheart and Gurth the swineherd – designed

by the Leeds sculptor John Wormald Appleyard. His was never a famous name, but this and other

examples of his work survive to enrich the city scene today.

e came from a family entrenched in the wool trade, like so many others. His father, Jabez Appleyard, had a business boiling size (a kind of glue), used to prepare wool for

weaving, based at School Close by the Aire in Leeds, where John Wormald was born in 1831, the first of nine children. Jabez and his wife Jane moved shortly afterwards to Drighlington, their original family home, and then, around 1837, settled in Farsley, a village focussed on the woollen cloth trade, where several of John’s sisters found work in the mills. But John took another route: from the age of nine, he was apprenticed to his grandfather, Abraham Wormald, a Drighlington stonemason. So he learnt the traditional skills that were to become his life’s work, specialising in decorative stone carving.

When he was around 20 he moved back into Leeds, to Hirst Square off St James Street (under the Civic Hall now). He must have seen good prospects for work – the town was being developed and rebuilt in fine style, and the great project of the new Town Hall was about to get off the ground (literally), close to his home. It’s likely that he found work at first as a ‘journeyman’ stonemason and carver, employed by the day as part of a team. He earned enough to marry in 1853, when he was 22. His new wife Eliza Whiteley, a widow, was seven years his senior and there were no children.

He prospered and by the 1870s had expanded to have his own business and workshop in Cookridge Street. He clearly had an artistic bent, and branched out into design and sculpture. In 1875 when Leeds hosted a great exhibition of arts and manufacture he had several marble sculptures on show. And in 1878 he worked with William Potts the clock-maker, whose works were close by, to design the stunning clock for the new arcade being built by Charles Thornton, owner of the

nearby music hall (later the City Varieties), over the site of the old Talbot Inn. This was the first of the magnificent covered arcades that were to transform Leeds into a shopping mecca.

His most productive collaboration was with the architect George Corson, the leading architect of the day, who was based next door in Cookridge Street. He was the influential founder and president of the first Leeds Architectural Association, designer

of the Grand Theatre and other landmark buildings. When Corson won the competition to design the magnificent new Municipal Buildings (now the Central Library), it was John Appleyard who led the team of masons responsible for the internal stonework, notably the palatial entrance hall and grand staircase. A richly carved roundel high on the wall records his name alongside Corson’s. He must have been proud of his work here, in one of the city’s most spectacular public buildings.

He had other commissions, including the carvings on the impressive domed drinking fountain donated to Roundhay Park in 1882 by John Barran, instigator of the project to buy the Park. But much of his work remains unidentified. He lost his wife in 1889 and died himself in 1894, aged 62. They were both buried at Beckett Street cemetery. The story goes that in his studio a design was found for a commemorative window for St John’s church at Farsley where he had been brought up and his father and mother were buried. The window, an image of the crucifixion, is one of the fine windows currently under restoration at the church.

Like many craftsmen, from the medieval stone masons onwards, examples of his work rather than his name survive and are known. So he would surely have been surprised – and pleased – that an image of his named, carved roundel features on the back cover of the current Pevsner Guide to Leeds

Leeds Waterfront Festival brings the city’s

waterways to life with an eclectic mix of arts,

entertainment, music, food, drink and family fun.

On Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th June, the

waterfront will be jam-packed with activities – on

the water, on boats, and on dry land, stretching

across four miles.

his year is the 200th anniversary of the completion of the Leeds-Liverpool

Canal and the festival’s celebrations will stretch from Armley Industrial Museum and Thwaite Mills to Leeds Dock and the Royal Armouries. The party will be buzzing at Brewery Wharf and The Calls; there’ll be a taste of French culture around Brasserie Blanc at Victoria Wharf; and more activities at Granary Wharf, the start of the Leeds Liverpool Canal.

In the run up to the festival there will be a series of creative workshops, designed to inspire people to get involved creatively and explore Leeds Waterfront. There’ll be a barge ‘yarn-bomb’, creative writing workshops and spoken-word events, photography and fi lm making opportunities, graffi ti masterclasses and live street art, junk boat building, art-runs, heritage trails and guided walks, and even ‘splash-mob’ performances!

There’ll be Musical Barge gigs and boat trips all along the waterways, canoe demonstrations, dragon boats races and a Junk Boat race! And, The Tetley will host two days of live performances, workshops and artists’ talks.

The Festival is delighted to be working with local artists and creatives, including Matt Abbott, poet and spoken word performer, Yorkshire Life Aquatic, graffi ti artist HYRO GRAFF, Knitting Communities Together, Veggie-Runners, and many others - all set to illuminate the waterfront like never before!

ary Don Auctioneers, one of the oldest auction houses in Leeds

(established in 1929), has expanded into new, custom designed premises. Originally on North Street, it moved to Canal Wharf for some years, before settling in to Curtis Buildings on York Road.

The new auction room has been created in the same Curtis Building complex, but boasts nearly double the space with fantastic new facilities to host both regular and specialist auctions, together with a new reception area.

“The world of auctions has changed dramatically over the past decade”, said Gary. “We needed to respond to this and offer our customers the very best facilities. We now host a variety of online auctions and attract bidders from across the world. However, what

is most important to us is to preserve our history and the atmosphere and excitement of attending a live auction.”

The official auctioneer for Leeds City Council, and a well-known personality on both TV and radio, Gary Don Auctioneers has been a favourite destination for both local and international collectors and dealers for generations. Gary has a regular show on BBC Radio Leeds and recently appeared on Channel 4’s Posh Pawn. In 2009, the business was also featured on the highly successful BBC documentary ‘Keep it in the Family’.

The new auction house is a perfect blend of traditional design and modern technology, appealing to serious dealers, amateur

collectors and a new generation wishing to try their hand at the auction game. It is open to the general public for buying and selling all types of antiques, collectables, modern and second hand items, and auctions are held fortnightly.

‘Islam and the Media’ is a new book edited by Dr Anna Piela, a lecturer in Religious Studies at Leeds Trinity University. The collection explores how Islam is portrayed in today’s media and was recently published by Routledge.

Chapters from a wide range of sources look at the portrayal of Muslims and Islam in traditional print and broadcast media, as well as newer online, social channels. Issues explored include limitations on voicing Islamic identity; tainted reporting through stereotypical and negative connotations; and Muslims using the Internet to represent themselves, in comparison to the wider public sphere where they are marginalised.

“Editing this collection provided a fantastic opportunity to bring together foundational and more recent research into the topic to create a multi-layered resource that illuminates the complex relationship between Islam and media”, said Dr Piela, whose research interests are focused on gender and Muslim identities in the West.

Her PhD dissertation explored intersections between sociology of Islam, gender and media. She has recently completed a pilot project on identities of British Muslim women who wear the niqab face veil. Her book aims to be a work of reference for students and researchers, and can be purchased online from Routledge.

reemason groups have provided a further £12,000 boost for Yorkshire

Air Ambulance. The Freemasons’ Grand

Charity has been a regular supporter of Air Ambulance services. Since 2007, nearly £2m has been donated to 22 rapid response emergency services.

“This is the ninth year the charity has donated thousands of pounds to Air Ambulances and similar services around the country”, said Laura Chapman, Chief Executive. “Charitable giving is central to Freemasonry

and we are delighted to show our support once again.”

Yorkshire Air Ambulance is an

independent charity providing a life-saving rapid response emergency service to fi ve million people across Yorkshire seven days

a week, 365 days a year. The charity, which needs to raise £12,000 a day, has just ordered state-of-the-art replacements for its two ageing helicopters, which will take to the skies over Yorkshire later this year.

The latest generation Airbus H145 aircraft will give paramedics a more modern medical fi t-out to treat and transport often critically injured patients.

• Straight Teeth• No Braces• Healthy Faces

lthough fairly new in the UK, Myobrace has been around for about 20 years and is used in over 100 countries, including the USA,

Japan and Australia.The Myobrace system works by addressing the underlying issue of

myofunction, which tends to be at the heart of most malocclusions (crooked teeth). The teeth and jaws are positioned according to the muscles and forces around them. Myobrace manipulates the forces within the mouth as the child grows, which allows their teeth and jaws to develop correctly.

About 75% of children will present to their dentist with crooked teeth. The current trend is to monitor this until all the adult teeth have erupted (around the age of 12) and then to refer them for fi xed braces.

The delay in treatment often results in the crooked teeth getting worse. Myobrace avoids this delay and intercepts the crowding as soon as it is seen. Children often start treatment after only a few of their adult teeth have erupted

(age 6-7). Early interception off ers a host of benefi ts, including avoiding the need for orthodontic extractions, and greatly reducing the risk of post treatment relapse.

“I was introduced to Myobrace by a colleague a couple of years ago”, said Dr Sam Bedford. “Being a Myobrace practitioner himself, he encouraged me to take on a few patients and I was astounded by the results. Yorkshire Myobrace is the fi rst dedicated Myobrace clinic in the north of England. I have patients travelling from as far as Preston and Staff ord for treatment. Myobrace is a major shift in the way we think about crooked teeth and should appeal to any parent who can see a problem and does not want to wait for fi xed braces.”

Dance partners from across Leeds and the wider

Northern region recently unveiled plans for the

Leeds Dance Partnership, and exciting plans

were outlined to put Leeds on the map as an

international centre of excellence for dance.

he idea of a Leeds Dance Partnership originated in a coming

together of a number of organisations – Northern Ballet, Phoenix Dance Theatre, Yorkshire Dance, Northern School of Contemporary Dance, RJC, Balbir Singh Dance Company, DAZL and Leeds Beckett University.

“It arose out of a shared wish to raise the profi le of the exceptional dance on off er in the city”, said Mark Skipper, Chief Executive Northern Ballet and Chair of the Partnership Steering Group. “In 2014 we became a City of Dance and we are now building on that collaboration to achieve an even greater step change in dance in the city.”

The Partnership’s vision is to be an international centre of excellence –providing leadership for the development

of dance locally, nationally and internationally. The partnership is open to all members of the dance community, from major dance companies through to independent artists. The aim is to create new resources and assets, develop more talent and artistic practice, increase access for both participants and audiences, and create more opportunities to attract the best in world class dance to Leeds.

“We are very fortunate to have several truly outstanding dance organisations in Leeds”, said Judith Blake, Leader of Leeds City Council. “This partnership will raise their profi le and help the city become an international centre of excellence for dance, cementing Leeds’ place on the cultural map. It will encourage people to take part in dance or watch a performance, and it is a signifi cant step on the road to the

city’s ambition to become the European Capital of Culture in 2023.”

Sharon Watson, Artistic Director of Phoenix Dance Theatre and Chair of the Leeds 2023 Steering Group, concluded: “The development of the Leeds Dance Partnership is an integral step on Leeds’ journey to becoming European Capital of Culture in 2023. Leeds is absolutely the perfect city to move forward with this exciting new ambition for the art form.”

fter their successful collaboration for the Circles exhibition at Leeds Central Library last year,

artist-maker Alison McIntyre and designer Lee Goater have teamed up again for ‘Threads’, an exhibition at Colours May Vary (Munro House, Duke Street, LS9) from 10th – 30th June

This Leeds Inspired funded project has been running since last October. Alison worked with over 80 people, teaching them to curve stitch through a series of workshops that made up the fi rst part of the project. The exhibition shows their fi nished work and interweaves excerpts of the conversations that took place whilst they were working together, which Lee has interpreted typographically.

The exhibition explores ideas around communities and group making and how people talk and feel diff erently when creating together. It also showcases the intriguing geometric curve stitched designs, made by the participants

using Alison’s contemporary approach to traditional sewing techniques.Launch Night is on Thursday 9th June, 6 - 9pm and all are welcome.

There will be an artist’s talk on Sunday 19th June at 2pm. For further information, visit

rom the people behind ‘Dreamboats and Petticoats’, ‘Save the Last Dance for Me’ comes

to Leeds Grand Theatre from Monday 13th to Saturday 18th June, and promises to take audiences back through the music and magic of the early 60s – a time when each passing week brought another Rock ‘n’ Roll classic.

Antony Costa, perhaps best known as a member of Blue, one of the biggest boy bands of the Noughties, stars as Milton. He previously appeared in ‘Blood Brothers’ in the West End and the ‘Boogie Nights’ UK Tour. He is joined by X Factor finalist Lola Saunders, who has been headlining concerts around the UK as well as writing and recording new music, and is now making her theatrical debut in the role of Jennifer. The cast also includes Elizabeth Carter as Marie and Wayne Robinson as Curtis.

Written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran (of ‘Goodnight Sweetheart’, ‘Birds of a Feather’ and ‘The New Statesman’ fame), the show features the unmistakable music of Doc Pomus & Mort Shuman, authentically recreating the Rock ‘n’ Roll sound live on stage with hits including ‘Sweets for my Sweet’, ‘Please Mr. Postman’, ‘Viva Las Vegas’, ‘Can’t Get Used to Losing You’, the title track ‘Save the Last Dance For Me’ and more that will transport you back to a golden era of music.

‘Save the Last Dance for Me’ follows two teenage sisters through the Summer of ‘63 as they embark on a seaside holiday, without their parents for the first time. Full of freedom and high spirits they meet a handsome young American who invites them to a dance at the local U.S. Air force base... But young love and holiday romance is never as simple as it sounds, and the sisters soon realise that while the world around them is still watching itself in black and white, life and love can be much more colourful.

Tickets (£19.50 – £35) available from 0844 848 2700 or online at leedsgrandtheatre.com

eeds Young Authors (LYA), which started in Chapeltown in 2003, work with young

people to help them develop as confi dent writers and performers, supporting them on their path towards artistic, academic, professional and personal success.

LYA currently holds free, weekly drop-in workshops at West Yorkshire Playhouse on Tuesday evenings. They also regularly run workshops in schools and community spaces, perform for community events, and organise the Voices of a New Generation Annual Poetry Slam & Literature Festival in Leeds.

In 2015, LYA poets won the ‘Shot from the Lip’ UK National Slam in London; and in 2009, a LYA team came second in the world at the Brave New Voices (BNV) International Youth Poetry Festival. Alex Ramseyer-Bache and Daniel Lucchesi transformed the 2009 team’s journey into the award-winning documentary, ‘We Are Poets’.

In July 2016, Leeds Young Authors will take on the world again, representing Leeds, Yorkshire and the UK at BNV in Washington DC. Besides the actual competition, BNV also off ers workshops, seminars and community building activities and provides an enormously rich learning experience for young poets.

Saju Iqbal Ahmed (2009 poet & performer), and Zodwa Nyoni (past LYA & BNV performer and playwright), are mentoring

the 2016 team. Visiting artist Malika Booker is also helping. Aoife O’Conner (18) is team captain, and she is joined by Khalidah Jamilah (15), Rebecca Mbuyi (17) and Darren Phillip (18).

The team is currently fundraising and looking for sponsors. They hope to raise about £6,000 to cover registration and expenses for themselves and two mentors. They have set up a crowd-funding site that you can donate to www.gofundme.com/leedsyoungauthors

For further information about this project and how you can support it, contact Emilee Moore on 07717 030916 or [email protected] or visit https://leedsyoungauthors.org/

providing a fascinating glimpse into the warrior culture of a period in Anglo-Saxon history. These fi ttings were stripped from swords and seaxes, and are thought to represent the equipment of defeated armies from battles during the fi rst half of the seventh century. They are intricately decorated with gold, silver and semi-precious gems, and represent the fi nest quality Anglo-Saxon craftsmanship.

The Staff ordshire Hoard is one of the most outstanding Anglo-Saxon fi nds since the excavation of the Sutton Hoo ship-burial in Suff olk in 1939. It was discovered close to a major road (Roman Watling Street), in July 2009 and is made up of around 4,000 fragments. Why it was buried, perhaps before c.675 AD, is uncertain. The secrets of the hoard are still being uncovered through painstaking research and conservation.

The exhibition will be complemented by a programme of activities, including archaeology sessions, storytelling, crafts, art, and combat demonstrations, during the half term and summer holidays. The Royal Armouries has also developed a range of education materials and sessions for schools.

A highlight of the complementary programme will be a one-day conference on ‘Exploring the Staff ordshire Hoard’ on 11th June (adult £20/ concessions £18). Key speakers include archaeologist Kevin Leahy on the discovery of the hoard; Pieta Greaves, manager of the Conservation Project Team on the latest research; Sue Brunning, British Museum, on Anglo-Saxon swords; and Professor Guy Halsall, University of York, on Anglo-Saxon

warfare and warrior culture.“These parts of weapons are exquisitely crafted and it is no surprise

that the story of the Staff ordshire Hoard has captured the public’s imagination”, said Henry Yallop, lead curator and expert on edged weapons. “Seeing the quality of these objects brings to life the important role that weapons played in Anglo-Saxon society.”

Entry to the exhibition is free. Details can be found at http://warrior-treasures.uk, www.royalarmouries.org/

A new exhibition at the Royal Armouries will showcase around 100

spectacular items from the remarkable Staff ordshire Hoard collection from

27th May – 2nd October 2016.

The exhibition will be complemented by a

programme of activities, including archaeology sessions, storytelling,

n the second of a three-year contemporary art programme,

‘folly!’, commissioned in partnership with London Gallery Blain|Southern, the temples and follies of Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden, near Ripon, have been transformed by Mat Collishaw, one of the UK’s most thought p r o v o k i n g contemporary artists.

For his first solo show in Yorkshire, Collishaw has created installations which draw upon the history of the dramatic 18th century landscape of Studley Royal Water garden, echoing stories of revelry and refl ection from the garden’s past. Striking new works

in the Banqueting House and Temple of Piety will play with your senses; and, a 3D zoetrope in the form of a strobe lit chandelier, plays host to a frenzied array of carousing fi gures in the dark interior of the Banqueting House

In contrast, within the cool walls of the Temple of Piety you’ll fi nd ‘The Pineal

Eye’. Still, serene and shimmering like the moon pond outside, it

appears and disappears before your eyes like a mirage.

Refl ective and tranquil, with the soothing sounds of the water garden outside.

The original designers of Studley Royal Water

Garden, the Aislabie family, created many eye-catching

follies to entertain and surprise their guests and The National Trust

is continuing this tradition with this fascinating ‘follies’ programme.

n exhibition celebrating the work of Monty Python launches at Northern

Monk Brewery, The Old Flax Store, Marshall St, LS11 9YJ, from Friday 27th – Sunday 29th May and continues until Friday 8th July.

Curating the exhibition is Colour+Noun, who have worked closely with the Monty Python team and a talented group of UK and Internationally based artists to present this unique event.

The artists involved have taken inspiration from their favourite Monty Python moments, using scenes, quotes and characters from Monty Python fi lms, live shows and television series to inspire their work.

All the artwork, which features giclées, screen prints and intaglios, graphic design, illustration and typography, is officially licensed by Python (Monty) Pictures Ltd.

“It’s wonderful to see how inspired artists can make Monty Python look classy, especially after all those years of Gilliam’s second-rate work!” commented Terry Gilliam. “Where was all this talent when we needed it?”

“We feel extremely privileged to have been given the opportunity to curate and host this event”, said Jess Cook, co-founder of Colour+Noun. “We are huge Python fans and combining this with our passion for art has been fantastic. We can’t wait to share

the brilliant array of work the artists have contributed.”

“The genius of Monty Python is something I’ve always held dear”, said artist Graham Pilling. “Their wonderful imagination formed an invaluable part of my upbringing, teaching me a love for surrealism and word play, as well as the importance of tempering intelligence with good old-fashioned silliness.”

All artwork is available for sale, including one off original pieces and limited edition print runs.

t the height of operations, Barnbow employed over 17,000 people, 93%

of whom were women and girls – the Barnbow Canaries. At the outset, Alice wasn’t that excited about the project but as she researched it a story of determination and grit emerged.

A group of businessmen went to London and suggested Leeds as the site for a new armaments factory to satisfy the demand for shells from the Front. The location had to be kept secret. They settled on Crossgates and the factory was up and running in just four months. It had its own reservoir, two huge canteens and its own railway!

Obviously, since the men had gone to war, it was staff ed by women and girls, all of whom had to sign the Offi cial Secrets Act.

This was dangerous work involving the handling of sulphur that turned their skin yellow, hence the Barnbow Canaries. Barnbow also had its own dairy farm as the women were told that drinking milk would reverse the harmful eff ects of the sulphur. In fact the sulphur caused infertility, liver cancer, and nasty blistering on eyes and tongues.

But with no men around the women had to support their families. For the fi rst time they had their own money, and were earning more than their men had earned. They were able to pay for medical treatment for their children (remember there was no NHS!) and much more. All of a sudden they had hopes and dreams and freedom. They were willing to take risks.

The play is really about what women did for their independence. Alice uses a mixture of facts and dramatic licence. She wanted to depict real characters, so based it around two sisters, Agnes and Edith as they revel in their new-found independence and prosperity as Barnbow lasses. Not only does their danger money buy them a new life of confi dence, work and politics, but also the thrill of a new future, full of fun, friendship and freedom.

“This was a diffi cult play to write”, said Alice. “Listening to audio recordings made in the 1970s at the Imperial War Museum in London was a revelation. (These recordings should really be in the Leeds City Museum) I wanted to bring these women to life. Local history groups and gossip helped to keep their stories alive.

“What’s sad is that these women never

got any recognition. There were no pensions for them like there were for the men who went to the Front. When the war ended they were all sacked – just like all the women who had driven trains and trams in Leeds. The jobs went back to the men and the women were forced back into the homes. It wasn’t until 2001 that a monument was erected in Manston Park, Crossgates, commemorating the role of the Barnbow Canaries.”

Barnbow Canaries, d irected by Kate Wasserberg, is at West Yorkshire Playhouse from 15th June – 9th July. Tickets are available from 0113 213 7700 or online at wyp.org.uk

West Yorkshire Playhouse commissioned playwright,

musician and former Chumbawamba member Alice Nutter

to write a play based on the true story of Barnbow, a

Leeds shell factory where, in 1916, there was a catastrophic

explosion, causing the largest loss of life in Leeds’ history.

stablished in Manchester in 2009 by Michael Jackson, Head of Commercial Casting at Beverley Keogh Casting, act4tv off ers

actors a wide range of television acting workshops, audition technique classes and courses that provide the tools to succeed in the ever-changing, unpredictable television industry.

With many students travelling to Manchester to attend act4tv classes, Michael decided to open the studio in Leeds, providing the same class structure and calibre of tutors to actors based in Yorkshire.

“I’ve been a casting director for over 20 years and I’m still amazed that drama schools and some agents send actors out completely unprepared for the business of auditioning”, he said. “Auditions are a separate beast and they’re getting harder to come by, so every eff ort has to be made to ensure that the actor makes the best of any given opportunity.

“We originally set up the school specifically to teach students how to

succeed in auditioning. This is a skill which is essential in obtaining roles of any size for drama and commercial projects. The role will always go to the better prepared actor, rather than one who tends to fl y by the seat of their pants. Our courses are designed to give students an insight into how to go through the audition process, develop the skill of extracting information from the text, and be the very best they can be

when the opportunity does knock.”

Act4tv off ers classes for all ages, irrelevant of experience, including act4tvKids, and their newest addition, act4tv Prime, an afternoon class that caters for the older actor. Students work on the same scripts in both Leeds and Manchester, with every performance fi lmed and critiqued. Many have already been signed by agents, securing auditions and appearing in television dramas.

act4tv alumni include Matteo Elezi (Game of Thrones Series 6), George Bukhari (The A Word, National Treasure, My Jihad, Banana), Lyndsay Fielding (Vera, Emmerdale) , Anita Brehany (Limehouse Golem, Coronation Street), and Vicky Myers (Paranoid, The Five), to mention but a few. Other students have been featured in ‘To Walk Invisible’, ‘Coronation Street’, ‘Peaky Blinders’, ‘Happy Valley 2’, ‘Emmerdale’ and Tim Burton’s ‘Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children’.

Act4tv tutors are also established actors with a wealth of professional television experience. Head tutor Joe Simpson and Leeds tutor Tanya Vital have both been seen numerous times on the set of Emmerdale. Tanya also recently finished fi lming ITV’s drama, ‘Brief Encounters’, after a stint in BBC’s ‘Doctors’.

ow, the performance date is rapidly approaching and tickets

are already in demand for its run from Friday 17th – Saturday 25th June at The Carriageworks. A co-production of Red Ladder, Leeds Civic Arts Guild and The Carriageworks, the play follows a young woman’s journey into Leeds’s secret past and transports audiences from the turmoil and tensions of war, to the rich, multicultural city we know today.

“We have a brilliant cast”, said Rod Dixon, Red Ladder’s artistic director who directs the production. “Although this is a play marking the centenary of WWI, it is really more about 2016 than the Somme in 1916 – the diverse city that has grown out of the War. What is exciting is that the script keeps evolving – the cast is investing in the production and making suggestions. Some roles have changed completely – like Jamie Jones-Buchanan (of Leeds Rhinos’ fame) who initially was lined up for a cameo then found he could act and moved on to a proper role!”

Amongst the Leeds Pals who fought and died at the Battle of Somme were members of the Leeds Rugby League Club and Jamie, a trustee of the Leeds Rhinos

Foundation, believes that the project is a fi tting tribute to the former players and fellow Leeds Pals.

Red Ladder revels in staging such productions and in giving amateur dramatic performers and theatre makers opportunities. “The whole experience has been really great”, said fi rst timer Tom Swift, who plays Fred Dudley, a soldier from Leeds who fi nds himself in the trenches, and a member of Britain

First in another scene. “The passion and professionalism that oozes from Rod and the rest of the team draws out the best in you and makes it really fun too.

“I didn’t know what to expect at rehearsals but it was so much more than I imagined. We did lots of movement work with Tash (Natasha Harrison movement director), and singing and voice work with Sam Somerfeld (musical director). I didn’t know I could leave my inhibitions at the door so easily and just go with it. Theatre is something I would love to pursue now. This defi nitely isn’t going to be my only stage appearance.”

Leeds Lads has two assistant directors who are currently studying for their A-Levels, and Rod actually taught movement director Tash at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance some years ago.

This is a community play that respects the past and resonates in the present. For tickets, contact 0113 376 0318 or carriageworkstheatre.org.uk. For more details on the play, visit www.redladder.co.uk

his is the fi rst time in over 30 years that this piece has been staged at Leeds Town Hall, and will be

conducted by David Hill. Subtitled ‘Symphony of a Thousand’ due to the vast numbers of performers required, the performance will feature the joint forces of three diff erent choirs – Leeds Festival Chorus, Leeds Philharmonic Chorus, and Bradford Catholic Youth Choir – together with the Orchestra of Opera North and eight soloists, including sopranos Lee Bisset, Katherine Broderick, and Kate Valentine, mezzo sopranos Sarah Castle and Madeleine Shaw, Peter Wedd (tenor), Andrew Foster Williams (baritone), and Michael Druiett (bass).

The work is in two parts –the fi rst being based on Latin text from the hymn Veni Creator Spiritus, which inspired Mahler, who said: “I saw the whole piece immediately before my eyes, and only needed to write it down as though it were being dictated to me.” The second part uses

Butterworth, whose music will be played at the start of the concert. ‘The Banks of Green Willow’ is a dream-like idyll, composed just before the war. Elgar’s ‘Serenade for Strings’ will also feature.

Karl Jenkins’ visionary work, ‘The Armed Man – a Mass for Peace’, was commissioned by the Royal Armouries and uses texts from the Psalms of David and the poetry of Alfred, Lord Tennyson. The combined choirs of Leeds Festival Chorus, Leeds Philharmonic Chorus and St Peter’s Singers, along with Manchester Camerata, will be led by conductor Ben Gernon, recently featured in BBC Music Magazine as ‘Rising Star/Great Artist of tomorrow’.

here will be a Flower Festival running over the whole weekend,

and a vicarage garden party on Saturday 11th June. And, Holy Trinity, together with the award-winning Meanwood Primary School, hopes to keep everyone celebrating not just for the Queen but also for the inaugural World Triathlon Event, which will be careering down Meanwood Road on Sunday 12th June.

The Flower Festival will fill the church with floral displays themed around each of the decades of the Queen’s life (and there’ll be a surprise triathlon feature). Pupils from Meanwood Primary are crafting a display about the Queen for the event.

The preview evening on Friday 10th June will include cheese, wine and music. The festival will open from 10am – 4pm Saturday, with children’s activities and refreshments. Then, everyone is invited to a vicarage garden party from 1 – 3.30pm. This will include a barbecue, beer tent, cream teas, music and garden games.

The flower festival will reopen on Sunday at 11am after church services to welcome all those watching the cycling leg of the World Triathlon event for free refreshments.

Everyone is welcome. For more information contact Sandra Glassby on 0113 2759029 or [email protected].

Holy Trinity Meanwood will be celebrating

the Queen’s official birthday from Friday 10th

– Sunday 12th June, along with thousands of

churches and communities across the country.

In 2011, members of the Leeds Vineyard Church in Headingley, felt they wanted to do more to help people tackle their financial worries. They partnered with UK debt counselling charity Christians Against Poverty (CAP) and received training to open a local branch.

The congregation celebrated with a shared lunch and special service to celebrate the hundreds of families that have benefited from the free, face-to-face debt counselling.

“Debt isn’t just about the lack of money someone has”, said Leeds City Centre Manager Gwen Procter. “It’s about what it does to a person, often when they are already feeling very low from unemployment, relationship breakdown or illness.

“The great pleasure of doing this job is to see the rapid change that comes about when people have that burden lifted and see order restored. Hope creeps in again and that is an amazing thing to see.”

Christians Against Poverty works across the UK to lift people out of poverty via debt counselling, money management, job clubs and help for people with addictions. The service is free to everyone regardless of age, gender, faith or background.

After calling the Freephone number, all clients are seen in their own home. Any paperwork (such as unpaid bills) is collected and sent to CAP’s head office where staff negotiate with every creditor, construct a budget and examine the best route out of debt.

News From Your Councillors

Tennis in the City (incl. Holt Park)The Sport and Active Lifestyles Team at the

Council has been working closely with the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) on the development of tennis across the City. Continued partnership with the LTA has helped to identify opportunities to widen access and awareness amongst those who do not play tennis, whilst continuing to provide a good service to current users.

There has been signifi cant investment in park tennis courts. The LTA has consulted with local people at the park tennis sites where programmes have been delivered,

and research across national venues has identifi ed the need for changes with regards to access and opportunities to play tennis. As a result, the LTA has invested in a court reservation system to overcome long waits especially in peak season.

The system, which will be self-policed, will be fully accessible through the Sport and Active Lifestyles website. The court reservation process will be clearly stated on all signage, marketing and promotion to support the self-policing of the system. It will be implemented at Holt Park tennis courts over the next few months and will allow participants to book a court at their local park, and be able to search availability at other parks across the city.

Running alongside the tennis reservation system will be a programme of activities, with a mixture of both free and paid for provision.

Headingley Post Office Update- Headingley Post Office recently informed us that they had received an expression of interest from a potential franchisee – however, this is simply not acceptable, a franchise is not a suitable replacement for the Post Office.

We know how busy Headingley Post Office is, and how vital it is that a full range of services is provided from that location. Counter service in another shop would not be able to cope with the volume of customer traffic, nor the needs of our area. This is particularly disappointing considering their promise to keep Headingley Post Office open when a number of other Post Offices were closed in 2008.

We’ve been told that they will consult the local community before any changes are made. Headingley Councillors will make sure that residents’ voices are heard, and will keep you up to date with what’s going on.

NHS Crisis- Last week I sat on the Scrutiny Board for Adult Social Services, Public Health and the NHS.

When discussing succession planning for small practices where the partner is stepping down it became clear that there is a huge national shortage of GPs, and a shortage of GPs wanting to take over. Clinical Commissioning Groups are beginning to reach out and to plan for when more GPs may retire, but this is looking increasingly diffi cult. Care homes are also struggling to recruit nurses. Discussion around both of these subjects showed that many people are being put off careers in health, or are looking to work abroad.

The NHS is this country’s greatest achievement, and here in Leeds the Council will continue to do everything it can to defend it.

Syrian Refugees- Parliament continues to argue over whether the UK should take in orphaned refugee children, while here in Leeds we are to become a regional HQ for Syrian refugees. We will see 1,250 people from war torn Syria coming to Yorkshire over the next three years.

Leeds will provide regional project management and be the accountable body to improve long term integration for these people fleeing unspeakable violence.

he Council expects to start treating Yorkstone fl ags with smart water soon. This will help to identify

stolen paving stones and catch the culprits who are ripping up pavements for personal gain, and tying up valuable resources in patching and replacing stone fl ags.

The Council will also work with the College of Building on a training scheme intended to improve the quality and speed of reinstatement work and make the removal of fl ags more diffi cult.

Councillors are calling on members of the public to report any suspicious activity or stone thefts to the Police, so detailed intelligence can be gathered and the criminals behind these thefts caught.

“Many residents are as sick as I am

with thefts of Yorkstone pavements and coping stones, which degrade neighbourhoods and put unnecessary strain on highways budgets”, said Cllr Richard Lewis. “Invisible markers will enable us to monitor the fl ags being sold and identify thieves. We are working with the Police, but have to play our part in trying to stop this illegal trade. Our ambition is to squeeze this trade as we’ve done with the theft of other public assets such as manhole covers.”

“In Headingley we know all too well how easy it can be to cause damage and destruction to pavements”, said Cllr Neil Walshaw. “I’d call on anyone noticing stone thefts or suspicious behaviour – including during the day - to report

this to the Police. Where Yorkstone paving is removed, we want to see it replaced where it is reasonable to do so, as no one wants to see a patchwork street with a mixture of Yorkstone and tarmac.”

The Crypt Receives Royal Seal of ApprovalThe Leeds homeless charity St George’s Crypt was recently awarded a Duke of York Community Initiative Award.

Having supported the homeless and vulnerable of Leeds for the past 85 years, The Crypt has progressed from providing just accommodation and food, to a more encompassing service that includes training, clinical service provision and therapeutic workshops.

Four members of staff and one volunteer made the trip to the University of Huddersfi eld to meet with HRH Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and receive the prestigious award.

“It was brilliant to receive this award from the Duke of York, highlighting the work we do with the Leeds community to provide our service”, said Chris Fields, CEO of St George’s Crypt. “Without the support of the community, our volunteers, and local businesses, we would not be able to off er the award-winning service we provide.”

lthough participation was a little disappointing, the scarecrows

that emerged were brilliant. The theme was ‘The Things people Do!’ ‘Save Our NHS’ with its doctor, patient on trolley complete with drip was definitely a prize winner, as were the ‘Man Flying Kite’ and the little girl seated at her desk colouring in.

It was lovely to see two local schools taking part – Richmond House and Shire Oak and their entries both took prizes in their category. You can see all the scarecrows on www.northleedslife.co.uk

The scarecrows gathered in the Community Orchard on Otley Road for the prize giving. Wonderful homemade cake (best carrot cake ever!) was available for a donation and proceeds were donated to Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

We’d like to congratulate the organisers – including Posy McTurk, Pam Wilson and Yvonne Oughton – it was a lovely community event and a lot of effort went in to organising it. Keep your eyes open for the announcement of next year’s event and be sure to join in. It’s a wonderfully creative opportunity and a dream of a school project.

As well as both editions of North

Leeds Life, you’ll also fi nd many

more interesting stories and events

on our website, that have either

arrived too late for inclusion, or

we simply ran out of room in the

nearly every day. So don’t miss out!

In anticipation of their play ‘The Pals’, Horsforth School’s Year 10 boys will lead a festival of remembrance at the school in honour of the soldiers of the Somme on Wednesday 22nd June at 7.45pm.

The hour long event will present the history of the Leeds Pals and the terrible fate that befell them that July morning a century ago, when many of them were among the more than 19,000 soldiers who gave their lives in the service of their country.

There will be music, poetry, storytelling and fi lm in which the lives of some of the Pals will be presented. This is a joint venture between Horsforth School and the Horsforth WW1 100 project. Attendance is free but donations will be welcome towards the renewal of Horsforth Cenotaph.

Leeds Pals at Horsforth Museum

To mark Refugee Week (20-26 June), Leeds Central Library is hosting a free workshop on

Friday 26th June to give you a taste of the inspirational support that reading groups can

off er for refugees and asylum seekers. eading aloud is a powerful tool, as organisations around the country

are realising. Weekly reading groups, led by volunteers from the city’s universities, are already running across Leeds and involve reading literature aloud together to provoke conversations and encourage cross-cultural exchanges. Groups read poems and stories together then work through what they’ve read to learn new vocabulary and discuss the issues raised. These sessions help produce a sense of community and overcome the alienation and isolation experienced by many refugees.

The fi rst of these groups was set up in 2010 by Dr Sam Durrant, University of Leeds, in collaboration with SOLACE. Since then the scheme has expanded to four groups:

• Central Library led by Rachel Webster – alternate Thursdays 4 – 5.30pm

• Little London Community Centre led by Christine Chettle in conjunction with STAR (Student Action for Refugees) – Saturdays 1 – 3.30pm during University terms

• Compton Library (Harehills) led by Helen Kingstone and April-Rose Geers – Wednesdays 5 – 6.30pm

• Armley Library led by Ruth Daly – alternate Tuesdays from 31st May, 4 – 5.30pm

Find out more at bibliotherapyhubleeds.wordpress.com or Facebook ‘Reading with Refugees and Asylum Seekers Leeds’.

The Refugee Week workshop at the Central Library will run 1 – 4.30pm on Friday 26th June, and starts with a free lunch. The event off ers taster sessions of the reading groups’ practice, as well as an introduction to ‘bibliotherapy’, poetry readings and a roundtable discussion. Turn up on the day or go to http://whatson.leeds.gov.uk/ to reserve a place.

This event is jointly organised by Leeds Libraries and The University of Leeds, with funding from the Wellcome Trust.

he Horsforth Walk of Art is back, bringing together a wide variety of artists, including painters,

ceramicists, authors, musicians and more, all sharing their creativity across Horsforth in sheds, garages and gardens, as well as church halls and other venues.

Running over the weekend of 2nd and 3rd July, highlights include a Light and Silent Music show on Friday night, hide and seek a hedgehog, children’s cinema and a stampede of horses! Music-wise you’ll be able to enjoy everything from choirs to rock ‘n’ roll bands.

A number of artists worked with Horsforth schools, and 70 shop windows will reflect the work they created together.

“People don’t realise how much goes on behind the scenes”, said organiser Lara Rule. “In the run up to the festival, we tapped into every school and community group to encourage them to create throughout the year.”

There will also be a number of ‘Fringe’ events, including a performance of ‘The Pals’ by Horsforth School, and a watercolour workshop at The Courtyard Café.

“The aim for the Walk of Art is to showcase the creativity in Horsforth”, said Lara, “and inspire the community to engage creatively.

“The thing I am most pleased about is that people with no creative background, like myself, are forming the foundation of a creative festival. For example, Cath Bradley who is creating the Horse Stampede – she had the idea for a Horse Trail and has ended up pulling together a phenomenal project involving every school, local wood turners and a lot of wood!”

There are over 100 stops on the map, representing exhibitions, events and various activities. Four diff erent routes take in around 10 miles, including woods, back roads and gunnels. There are 119 exhibiting artists, most of whom will be demonstrating or hosting an activity.

Maps are available at the library and numerous local outlets. A timetable of activities will be online nearer the event. For further information, visit www.horsforth_woa.org

he willow warbler is one of the first

migrant warblers to arrive here in Spring, usually following the chiffchaff, which it closely resembles.

The two birds, however, have very diff erent songs. Whilst the chiffchaff’s is a repetitive two note incantation of its name, the willow warbler gives out a melancholy sounding series of descending notes, which starts softy and ends with a fl ourish. It is an unremarkable looking bird, the size of a blue tit, with greenish-brown upperparts, yellowish underparts, a dark line through

the eye and a yellowish line below it. It nests in a variety of habitats, in

trees and bushes, and feeds on insects in Summer and sometimes berries in Autumn. It arrives in the UK in April and departs for

Africa in August. Juvenile willow warblers can appear startlingly yellow, and sometimes turn up in gardens in late Summer. The song is the best way to tell it apart from the equally common chiff chaff , but if the bird is not singing, other identifying features include the pale legs, longer wings and body (than chiff chaff ) and yellower underparts. Until the 18th century the

two birds were thought to be the same species – the ‘willow wren’ – and Gilbert White, in his book ‘The Natural History of Selbourne’ was the fi rst to separate the two.Leeds RSPB Group

ased around a circular theme to evoke a sense of strength and

completeness, their garden aimed to demonstrate how a place of relaxation could be created even with limited space. With muted colours and soft planting, trees encourage the visitor to look up from the boundaries, providing ample space for expansive thoughts! Circular lawn and paving shapes are reflected in the planting, with shrubs, leaves and flowers planted to echo the theme.

“We wanted to show people that they could have a lovely garden even in the smallest of spaces - and the judges agreed!” said Annabel Bridge.

“It was a lot of work to design and build the garden but the reaction we got from

people visiting the show was really positive, so it was all worth it”, said co-owner Sarah Johnson. “We’re so pleased everyone likes what we do”,

June is usually a warm month – perfect for looking after the garden, and sitting outdoors enjoying the light evenings.

Cut, Trim and Tie in

Plants grow quickly in June temperatures so many of this month’s jobs revolve around keeping them under control. Lawns, for example, need cutting a little and often to keep them looking smart. Make sure your lawn edging shears are nice and sharp as this will save you a lot of time and eff ort. Did you know that you can buy a clip on box to collect the grass clippings as you go?

Hedges such as Box and Yew can have their fi rst cut of the year this month too, and that will give your garden a crisp, tidy structure as it goes into Summer. Perennials will need staking to stop them from fl opping if you haven’t already done so, and any shrubs that fl owered in May can now be trimmed back to the shape you want.

It’s Bedding Time

At long last the risk of frost is over and tender plants for bedding or pots and containers can be placed outdoors. Creating interesting displays using tender plants is great fun as they often grow quickly and then fl ower for months. Particular favourites of mine include the lime green leaved Ipomoea ‘Sweetheart Light Green’ and sweetly scented Heliotrope (AKA Cherry Pie) along with the more delicate trailing varieties of Pelargonium. Give them a handful of slow release fertiliser as you plant them as they will soon use up the nutrients in the compost. Remember to keep them well watered throughout the Summer.

Fresh from the Veg plot

Salad leaves on your plot may well be ready to harvest and enjoy, and more can be sown now too, to keep those delicious salads coming. Lettuce, Rocket, Mizuna and other oriental leaves are all really easy and quick to grow.

You can also sow green beans, carrots, broccoli and radishes now. Courgette, marrow, pumpkins and tomato plants that were started off indoors can be planted out.

REVIEWFILM

When The Ain’t Rights, a punk band touring the Pacific Northwest on a shoestring budget get screwed over on a gig which leaves them out of pocket they, despite initial misgivings, accept a paying show at an out of town clubhouse which turns out to be a neo -Nazi compound.

Taking to the stage the band don’t exactly endear themselves to their audience by opening their set with a cover of The Dead Kennedys’ “Nazi Punks F-Off ” but in due course the crowd response to their performance will be the least of their concerns. Before The Ain’t Rights can pack their gear and get outta Dodge they stumble upon a murder scene in the backstage green room and are prevented from leaving. This sticky predicament is further intensifi ed by the arrival on the scene of the club owner and white supremacist group leader, Darcy (Patrick Stewart), a fi gure of calculating,

seething menace who seeks to deal with the inconvenience of the visiting band while orchestrating his minions in a clean-up operation.

And that’s pretty much it, set-up wise. We spend the rest of the movie with the besieged band in that single location while they attempt to fend off the barbarians at the gates and formulate some kind of escape plan. I don’t think it’s too much of a spoiler to say that things don’t pan out particularly well for many of the characters involved. Oh, and things get really rather bloody.

Green Room is a fi lm that doesn’t pull punches and its grimy, lo-fi aesthetic is in keeping with its setting and subject matter, lending the proceedings an air of authenticity. Depictions of gigging bands on the independent scene often pose a challenge to fi lm makers and rarely ring true. Not so here; the band itself and the world in which it operates are convincingly rendered and the scuzzy club interior will strike a note of familiarity with many gig-goers.

While not presented as an out and out horror flick, Green Room does have something in common with the ‘cabin in the woods’ scenario of genre classics like The Evil Dead or

Friday the 13th. However, rather than supernatural demons or ghouls or the cliché killer backwoods hillbillies the threat here is from all too believable real world monsters. As soon as we arrive

at the compound the atmosphere of malice and foreboding is palpable. Saulnier begins ratcheting up the tension early and continues to tighten the screws with a mood of sustained, present threat punctuated by explosions of gruesome violence for which viewers may require a somewhat robust constitution.

While unlikely to be everyone’s cup of tea, Green Room is a viscerally thrilling experience that makes the most of its lean premise and economical scope, highlighting strong work by the cast and

Saulnier’s directorial flair. It’s a film that leaves you jangled of nerve and palpitated of heart and, if you’ve got the stomach for it, it’s one I’d highly recommend.

ompetition for the programme is fi erce,

with students expected to achieve a minimum of 8 A* Grades at GCSE to apply. From over 1,200 applications, Nida was shortlisted to participate in a ‘Finalist Selection Event’.

The Sutton Trust works with the American Fulbright Commission to provide a yearlong scheme, which could culminate in Nida achieving her degree in America. The centrepiece of the visit is a weeklong summer school at Yale, where she will learn more about the cultural and academic benefit of international studies. In addition to the summer school, she will gain an insight into the college testing systems and work with current students to develop skills desirable for applications.

“Ralph Thoresby School works hard to provide exceptional opportunities for students to pursue their academic ambitions at the highest level”, said Stewart McGill. Assistant Headteacher. “Every student can access exceptional UK and international opportunities which prepares them for an inter-connected global economy. Whether students wish to pursue Oxbridge ambitions or study in FT Global 100 colleges, committed Ralph Thoresby staff will help to guide the way.”

Sue Page, a nursery teacher at Richmond House School, has retired after over 24 years looking after hundreds of nursery and pre-school children.

“The school has changed a lot since I joined back in 1992”, said Sue. “We didn’t have the pavilions and adventure playground, or even the school fi elds then. But, the school ethos is still the same. It’s still a small school with a warm and friendly atmosphere that is noticeable as soon as you walk through the door. I love the fact that everyone knows each other and so many children have such happy memories of attending Richmond House.”

After 24 years, Mrs Page is looking forward to travelling with her husband and has several trips booked already. “Of course I will miss the children and my colleagues, and Mrs Dean’s rice pudding! Most of all though, I will miss the build-up to Christmas, it is a special time at Richmond House.”

To mark Mrs Page’s retirement, the school held a special assembly and farewell party attended by current and former parents, pupils and staff .

rimary school pupils at St. Mary’s Horsforth

Catholic Voluntary Academy recently unearthed a coin from 1915, branded bricks and Victorian pottery during an archaeological dig in the school grounds.

The event included classroom lessons as well as hands-on experience. “The children thoroughly enjoyed being archaeologists and had a fantastic day handling artefacts and proper tools”, said Philippa Dixon, History Coordinator. “They are taught about various time periods such as the Stone Age, Ancient Egypt and Ancient Rome and these topics are based on significant archaeological finds. So, the

children need to have an understanding of the role archaeologists play in shaping our understanding of history.”

The archaeological dig was supported by trainee teachers from Leeds Trinity University, in partnership with primary education lecturer Beverley Forrest and

archaeologist Dave Weldrake.“The most interesting thing to come

out of the excavation was a very worn old penny – possibly George V, but it’s really too worn to be able to tell properly”, said Dave Weldrake. “Old money is something that fascinates young children as they can’t

quite get their heads around the idea that something so big could only be worth a penny!”

Becky Buckley, a Primary Education student at Leeds Trinity commented: “It’s important for children to gain a hands-on experience throughout their school lives, as they retain more information and have

fun at the same time. As a trainee teacher, I’ll certainly be encouraging hands-on experiences in all areas of the curriculum. Seeing the children’s faces light up when they discover something new for themselves is one of my favourite things about teaching!”

Broken or Damaged Windows?Faulty Hinges, Handles or Locks?

Want The Latest Energy Saving Glass?All Glazing Backed By Our

5 Year Manufacturers Guarantee

www.cloudy2clear.com

Priority Freephone 0800 61 21118

...we make saving money perfectly clear...

STEAMED UP DOUBLE GLAZING?Don’t replace the Frames... just the Panes!

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Manager Joel Skinner feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps.

Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service the Adel, Bramhope, Cookridge, Horsforth, Headingley, Meanwood, Weetwood & West Park areas and Joel is finding

that his approach is a major factor in his success.‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve

done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Joel a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!
