Review: It’s A Boy

Fiona Jones0 CommentsTheatre, Dance & Performance
I received a phone call early in December from a contact of mine, with the offer of a spare ticket to the exclusive opening night, on 13th December, of a show called It's a Boy. So exclusive were the bright young performers, so secretive was their choreography, and so precocious their talent that the cast was whisked away from all interaction with the audience.  We were severely warned by the compere that we should not take pictures or videos. Such divas. The plot was an age old tale of struggle and determination with a joyful denouement.  There was many a…

Review: 12 Degrees North 07.11.2012

Fiona Jones0 CommentsTheatre, Dance & Performance, Visual Arts & Exhibitions
The opportunity to watch fresh new dance and choreography is one that many will relish. 12 Degrees North is a new venture, for graduate dancers and choreographers from the North West.  It enables them to put their skills and practice to use on the professional stage and provides the progression and experience that is so hard to gain.

Fiona Jones5 CommentsMusic & Gigs
Fiona Jones chats to Blackpool band Ska Face about their motivation, new album and plans for the future. In a room above a warehouse in a secret location on the Fylde coast I am treated to what feels like a private concert by one of my favourite Blackpool based bands. The room is full of men and musical instruments, The England match is playing in the corner and 7 out of 10 of Ska Face are, I’m told, for one of the first times, rehearsing their album in full. Entitled ‘That difficult first album’ the band set out to prove…

Illuminations Switch on 2012

Fiona Jones0 CommentsMusic & Gigs
Fiona Jones gives us her take on the Blackpool Illuminations Switch On 2012! Blackpool’s Illuminations in some ways are the epitome of what our little old town is; a flashy, camp, nocturnal crowd pleaser. The illuminations started as a mere 8 arc lamps and 2012 represented the 100th annual switch on, which now kicks off 8 weeks and over 10km of lighting. The concert promised to be a good show so as soon as the ticket lottery started; I leapt at the chance and was lucky enough to get some free wristbands to one of the biggest and best events…
