From the land of legends and warrior Shaolin monks...!!THE undisputed masters of physical theatre will have you enthralled during a spectacular new show for 2012 at Hanley’s Regent Theatre next month!Yes, the unique extravaganza that is the incomparable Chinese State Circus’ ‘Yin Yang’ is a breathtaking fusion of precision acrobatics, martial arts and dazzling circus-skills comprises entertainment for the whole family.To say that the Chinese State Circus is merely a ‘show’ is grossly to underestimate it; it is the embodiment of a traditional art form which can trace its history back over 2,000 years.The presentation lives and breathes with the enthusiasm of its acrobatic artists, and the result is “a show of daunting atheticism” (The Observer) and “the most exhilarating circus it has been my privilege to see” (The London Evening Standard).You will witness acrobats defying gravity, as the ancient discipline Icarian Games returns to centre-stage.An act rarely seen circus arts, steeped in tradition, this is a remarkable display of human juggling, where the human body becomes catapult and catcher in an elaborate, explosive and highly-

choreographed presentation of power, poise and agility.Receiving its UK premiere, ‘Yin Yang’ (Yin means ‘Dark’ and Yang ‘Bright’) features

the amazing, legendary Bicycle Act, which will keep readers on the edge of your seats, as twelve artists manoeuvre onto a single machine!Witness the unpredictable and exhilarating twists of foot-juggling with drums; the famous, swinging poles; the sensational contortionist; and the dynamic hoop-divers, with their amazing somersaults, leaps and jumps which all contribute to completing this action-packed programme.Enthused The Manchester Evening News: “Never has such excitement been generated in a theatre...the whole audence hangs breathless!”Suitable for an audience of all ages, with evocative sets, soaring musical-score and extravagant, new costumes, ‘Yin Yang’ can be enjoyed at the Cultural Quarter venue on Monday, March 26th, and Tuesday, March 27th, at 8pm, with a 5pm performance on Tuesday 27th.Tickets (starting from £15 [Tuesday 5pm] and £17 [Monday/Tuesday 8pm]) can be purchased from The Regent Theatre’s Box Office on 0844 871 7649 or by booking online at www.atgtickets.com/stoke

CRITICALLY acclaimed as Britain’s top tribute-band to legendary Freddie Mercury and Queen, QEII is gracing the stage of Baddeley Green WMC soon!Appositely-named QEII celebrates the wealth of talent which came together in the super-group by recreating (with breathtaking accuracy) the style and excitement of a LIVE concert by Queen (which, sadly, can never been seen again)!

In response to the many fans who mourn the loss of Freddie Mercury, the Stoke-on-Trent-based group offers the very best in Queen, and QEII can be seen at the Leek New Road on Friday, February 24th, with Paul Taylor performing as vocalist, Freddie Mercury, Phil Teague (guitarist/vocalist, Brian May), Mick Durber (drummer, Roger Taylor), John Stephens (bass-guitarist/vocalist, John Deacon) and Steve

Thompson (keyboard-player/vocalist, Spike Edney).

In 1993, QEII formed to pay tribute to the world’s number one band.

The arduous task of co-ordinating lighting, image, clothes, make-up, mannerisms and (not least, by any means) the harmonies and music of the greatest band in the world.

The Potteries-based band rehearsed behind closed doors for twelve months

to perfect the show - ‘The 1986 Magic Tour’.

THE REST, AS THEY SAY, IS HISTORY!

Tickets for QEII’s concert on Friday, February 24th, are priced at only £6, and are available from Baddeley Green WMC on (01782) 541246 or by telephoning Ant Munday on (01782) 570603/07743-876421 or via emailing [email protected]

Prepare to be transported back to ‘The Eighties’!!WAS the music of the 1980s the best-ever for you?

If so, you’ll be delighted to learn that Stoke-on-Trent venue, Smallthorne Victory WMC, is playing host to the UK’s premier 1980’s Electronica tribute band!

Yes, the Hanley Road club is presenting a performance by acclaimed Electro 80’s, playing covers by such iconic names from that era as Gary Numan, The Human League, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, A Ha, OMD, Ultravox and Spandau Ballet.

The Eighties decade was a time of radical changes in both music and fashion, with (in the aftermath of the ‘punk’ revolution), daring ‘New Romantics’ embracing developing sounds and technologies to transform the music industry forever.

Performers and bands like Gary Numan, The Human League, Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode

helped to create a totally new genre of music - Electronica or Synthpop (a futuristic, new sound which seemed almost like Science Fiction at the time!).

Paying tribute to this era, Merseyside-based Electro 80’s has lovingly recreated songs by these pioneers to create a live entertainment show which is sure to transport everyone back to the days of underground club scenes - and even school discos!

Unforgettable classics, like ‘Fade to Grey’ and ‘Just Can’t Get Enough’,

are performed by band-members, Blue (lead vocalist/frontman), Green (second vocalist/guitarist/keyboard-player) and Red (main keyboard-player/backing vocalist), alongside lesser-known tracks, which will jog your memory in a nostalgic show that is both visually and acoustically stunning.

You can enjoy this Eighties’ experience at Smallthorne Victory WMC on Saturday, February 25th, starting at 8pm.

For further details and tickets, telephone the Hanley Road venue on (01782) 837017.

‘Blazing’ hits from ‘The Fredz’!!

AN awesome tribute band, recommended by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, is roaring into a Stoke-on-Trent venue this month!

Yes, Baddeley Green Workingmen’s Club is playing host to Fred Zeppelin on Friday, February 17th, as it celebrates its 19th year together.

It was 1993, when three friends (drummer, Steve Black; guitarist, Keith Jenkins; and bassist, Kevin Brown), with a mutual respect and passion for Led Zeppelin, decided to form a tribute band called ‘Fred Zeppelin’, which would create note-for-note performances of the legendary rock band’s music.

As they hit the local circuit in the Midlands (together with vocalist, Rob Bloomer), the lads performed some of Led Zeppelin’s greatest tracks and gained a following.

Following Rob Bloomer’s departure, Steve Gale was hired, and the line-up spent many years, playing individual performances

the length and breadth of the country.

In 2010, Kevin Brown decided to retire from the band and hand over his position as bassist to Elliot Gavin.

During this time, they have had the honour of Led Zeppelin’s

front-man, Robert Plant, attending no less than THREE of their gigs and John Bonham’s son, Jason, even jamming with them on-stage.

According to a readers’

poll in the music magazine, ‘Kerrang!’, Fred Zeppelin is among the top ten best live bands to see (quite an achievement as it was the only tribute band listed in any category!).

Tickets for Fred Zeppelin’s concert on Friday, February 17th, are priced at £5, and they are available from the Leek New Road venue on (01782) 541246 or by telephoning Ant Munday on (01782) 570603/07743-876421 or emailing [email protected]

WEDDING GUIDEIDENtIfy thE rIGht bUsINEssEsLET’S face facts: the ‘Big Day’ that is a couple’s wedding-date poses many problems.It is imperative that couples correctly identify the businesses and individuals which will provide your requirements in an expert, ultra-professional and efficient way.At the same time, it is most advisable that this service is delivered at a fair, reasonable and competitive rate.It is often stated that wedding-planning is a stressful, time-consuming affair.However, a modicum of thoughtfulness and the choice of a good, reliable photographer, caterer, confectioner, beautician, hairdresser, couturier, dress hire, florist, transport-provider, venue etc. can overcome these ‘posers’.

Sandhole Oak BarnAn unforgettable experience within a unique venue

COUPLES, who wish to celebrate your ‘Big Day’ within the elegant surrounds of a genuinely unique venue, need look no further.Quite simply, stunning Sandhole Oak Barn is a building which needs to be seen to be appreciated!

Located in open, rolling Cheshire countryside, Sandhole is one of the most beautifully-designed oak barns in the country, and, overlooking an idyllic, six-acre private lake, it provides readers with the perfect setting for your wedding or reception.

Sandhole Oak Barn is a family-run venue, featuring a friendly, supportive atmosphere.

Indeed, David, Veronica, Jenny and family are committed to ensuring that you, your family and your friends have a wonderful time, doing everything possible to make yours a perfect day to remember.

Wonderfully complementing the Oak Barn, superbly-restored accommodation - comprising The Granary Cottage (always popular with the wedding couple), in addition to 17, luxury, en-suite bedrooms for your guests - is also offered.

Completed in June, 2005, Sandhole Oak Barn has been built to a traditional design, using high-quality workmanship and materials, and its numerous attractions are striking.

The oak-beams are mellow and impressive, in the style of a mediaeval barn, and its impressive, wrought-iron cartwheel chandeliers and wall-lights have been created by a local blacksmith.

Moreover, you are assured of (literally) a warm

welcome, thanks to underfloor heating, while strategically-placed, feature cast radiators are available to provide an extra ‘boost’, if required.

If this weren’t enough, full-length windows provide stunning views and plenty of natural light.

Needless to say, this venue’s décor is ultra-stylish, with heavy, natural drapes separating and screening the dining area from the Civil Ceremony area.

And completing this scene of easeful tranquillity is not only a spacious verandah, but also a beautiful Oak Clock Tower, overlooking the lake and open countryside.

Does the business have motorists’ best interests at heart? WHEN reviewing the local, independent businesses featured here, readers will, indubitably, have many questions on their mind!

First (and most importantly), is it a garage that a motorist can genuinely trust?!

By visiting one of these featured businesses, you are assured of services carried out to a high standard, and will, as a result, benefit from a fair deal.

Essentially, the garage SHOULD have each motorist’s best interests at heart, whether he or she has brought her vehicle in for car-servicing or for repair-work.

The owner and staff-members should also demonstrate a commitment to

dealing with customers courteously and in keeping with good business-practice.

In addition, they must use full check-lists to ensure that motorists know EXACTLY what work is being carried out on their vehicles!

Questions that you should ask include: does the garage notify customers before work is undertaken, if the business does not accept particular forms of payment, and will it deal with customers’ complaints within two weeks of receiving a brickbat?

A good garage should also make parts replaced during service or repair available for inspection by the customer; comply with the Industry Standard service check-list on all services and include products which remove contamination; provide a completed service check-list, following the service; and offer the customer a feed-back leaflet.

Appeal for more foster-homes in 25th anniversary year

'ONWARD and Upward': that's the motto of this much-respected organisation for 2012 - the year in which it celebrates its 25th anniversary!

What began in 1987 with a handful of people, backed by a £100 grant, has grown into a caring rescue service, helping the stray dogs and cats of Alsager and surrounding areas, earning a nonpareil reputation during the interim years.

As Animal Co-ordinator, Hilary Baxter, told Leisure Gazette, Alsager Animals in Need is living proof of the old adage: 'Great oak trees grow from tiny acorns'!

This small, but dedicated and ultra-determined, group offers shelter and veterinary care for sick, injured, stray and abandoned cats and dogs.

Should an animal coming into the care of the rescue be sick or very old, a long-term foster-home is sought (also, short-term foster-care may be available, if people have to go into

hospital).Every effort is made to trace the owners

of animals coming into care, but, failing this, once the animal is confirmed as healthy by the veterinary surgeon, the creature is vaccinated, micro-chipped and, if necessary, neutered.

"We endeavour to find a loving, responsible home for the animal, and all potential homes and owners are thoroughly vetted, prior to re-homing taking place and an 'after-care' service is offered, giving advice and support," explained Hilary.

"Over the years, the sanctuary side of the rescue has expanded enormously, and one of our main tasks now is the long-term fostering of dogs and cats in care.

"Currently, we have seven dogs and six cats in long-term foster-care.

"However, old they may be, we do anything to avoid putting animals to sleep, as long we can find responsible, long-term fosterers to come forward and provide them a good quality-of-life.

"For example, we have an old, blind cat, but there are plenty of years left in her yet.

"Our deal with fosterers is simple: if they look after our dogs and cats, we pay all the vet's bills and meet all their other costs.

"Everything is done for them, and , if they have any problems or queries, we're always here to provide support and advice."

Dogs which come into the care of the rescue are accommodated at a local boarding-kennel,

Best wishes to Alsager Animals in Needfrom Tony & the team at Hovis

Forthcoming events include the group's next coffee morning at Alsager Civic Centre (9.30am-11.30am) on Saturday, February 11th, when good-quality clothing, books, gorgeous cakes, bric-a-brac, toys, plants etc. will be on sale, complemented by a raffle.

AN AUCTION HAS ALSO BEEN ORGANISED FOR FRIDAY, MARCH 9TH.

This is always a good, social occasion, with the chance to pick up some bargains; refreshments will be on sale and the bar open.

The organisation's celebratory, 25th anniversary 2012 calendar features reascued cats and dogs which are, or have been, in its care; now priced at a discounted rate of £3, with all profits from the sale going to Alsager Animals in Need.

"You have to be passionate about animal rescue, and I try to pass on what I have learnt over the years to other, younger people," added Hilary Baxter, who can be contacted for further information on (01270) 875260.

which is able provide shelter and an exercise-area for five dogs; Alsager Animals in Need is also able to provide accommodation for eight cats within a trio of shelters, all of which boast roomy pens and exercise-areas.

The main costs incurred are for kenneling at the boarding-kennels, veterinary bills (always very high, due to the poor state of health of some of the creatures which come to the rescue), erecting and maintaining the cat-shelters and pens at the foster homes, food, litter, advertising, hire of premises for events, running-costs of the rescue vehicle etc.

"We operate 24 hours a day and 365 days a year, and, when we are full (which we very often are), we can always point people to someone who can help them: a 'phone-call to us is never a wasted one," said Hilary.

"Unfortunately, this unprecedented demand for sanctuary is putting an ever-increasing pressure on the organisation's finances, and we are, therefore, looking for even more support from members of the general public.

"Everything we achieve is possible only through the generosity of the public, especially our loyal Alsager and district supporters.

Funds are raised through monthly and annual events, as displayed on the 'Events' page of its own website (www.alsager-animals.org), together with donations made by the supporters of the rescue.

LaureLs Boarding Cattery

READERS, anxious about leaving your favourite feline, as you embark on a holiday or another form of long departure, need not worry!

For, Mrs. Laurie Tindsley has the perfect answer to still your worries about the circumstances of your pet as you leave the area.

Sole owners, Laurie, launched Laurels Boarding Cattery as a ‘farm-diversification’ in 2001, and attended a training-course on cattery-management, run by the Feline Advisory Bureau; so, needless to say, her business is run to FAB standards (in addition to possessing a local authority licence).

Your feline chum will enjoy an individual, heated chalet (complete with its own run), cosy in all kinds of weather, with lots of fresh air in the runs, whilst still protected from the elements.

“There is a generous space between each run, so that a cat can see its neighbour, but there is no direct contact, and the heat in the chalet is thermostatically-controlled,” explained Laurie.

Two cats from the same household may share a

chalet, and there are family-sized chalets for up to four cats from the same household to share.

The entire cattery is enclosed within a security-passage to ensure your pet’s safety.

Laurels Boarding Cattery features a purpose-built kitchen for storage and preparation for cats’ meals.

Beds and bedding are provided, but readers are advised to bring something with which your cat is familiar to help him or her feel ‘at home’ (for instance, a personal bed, a favourite rug, jumper etc.).

Your cat will be fed twice a day with (importantly) the food which he or she is used to eating at home, and water will be available at all times.

“We cater for old and infirm cats, and medication can be adminstered and, although we don’t provide special diets (as in prescription-diets), we do feed them, if the owners bring these along; however, we are happy to offer fresh food (chicken, fish etc.) and cook it to-taste,” said Laurie.

“In case of any problems, we use your own vets, so that clients are assured of professional attention by those who you trust.

“Each feline receives individual attention, and, as a result, lots of cats come back to us, because we are familiar with them and they are familiar with us!”

In order to protect the health of all boarders, cats must be immunised against Feline Infectious Enteritis and Upper Respiratory Infections (Cat ‘Flu’).

An up-to-date certificate will be required for inspection, upon arrival, and pet-owners are requested to ensure that any injections, which are due, are given at least fourteen days, prior to boarding; in addition, all cats must be neutered or spayed.

Cat-owners are welcome to visit the cattery and inspect the premises (although visitors are respectfully asked not to touch any of its feline guests) during its opening-hours: 10am-2pm & 2pm-5pm (Monday-Tuesday & Thursday-Saturday) and 3pm-5pm (Wednesday & Sunday [plus Bank Holidays]).

Laurels Boarding Cattery is located at Brookhouse Farm, Newcastle Road, at Madeley (within the Borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme, but close to Crewe, in South Cheshire), and you can contact Laurie there on (01782) 751279 or via email: [email protected]
