Ryan Farmer Interview._Layout 1 29/01/2019 19:18 Page 1 breeze interview Breeze meets up with local lad, Ryan Farmer to find out what started him off in the music business and what inspires him. Ryan is one of the many talented young artists that we have in our area. Ryan invokes the sounds of the States through thoughtful songwriting of his own and storytelling with a soulful voice. When did you first get in to music and playing guitar, was it always something you wanted to do as a kid? I can remember asking my parents for a drum kit when I was about 13, but I don't remember actually being into music in any way at the point. It was obviously just an idea I thought was cool at the time. Quite understandably, I don't think my Mum and Dad were massively keen on it so they bought me a guitar instead and that's where it started. I got into music from there, Guns 'n' Roses were probably the first band I was properly into. Who is your idol in terms of music? Since I started playing there's been a few, back then I wanted to be a lead guitarist so it was Slash. But as I got older, the singing and songwriting side of things took over so then it became Noel Gallagher, I was obsessed with Oasis. Then when I got turned onto the blues it was ‘Seasick Steve’ for a while, until we get to present day where I'm writing country music and now i'd say it's ‘Chris Stapleton’. All have played their part in different ways. What do you think the greatest lyrics are that you’ve ever heard and why? Difficult question! I think "there ain't no devil, it's just god when he's drunk" from Tom Waits' 'Heart Attack and Vine' will always be up there for me. It's just one of those lines you wish you'd thought of and a great image. Tom Waits has lots of those. Do you write your own stuff. Where does your own inspiration come from? Yes I do. The new album, 'Just Another Night', is made up of 10 original songs. I'm mainly inspired by the American styles of music I listen to, country, bluegrass, old time, gospel and blues, but also some of the traditional folk music from our side of the pond. Lyrically, I love story songs and I have quite a few of those myself, but songwriting is also a good way to put down your emotions as well. Have you played in America or visited Nashville, is this included in any of your plans? I am yet to do that, but it's certainly right up there on the list of plans. What are your long term plans with your music? Just to be a successful recording and touring artist and to make it a sustainable living. Here's hoping that the debut album is a good start! Ryan launches his new album - February 23rd 7.30pm at The Running Horse, 16 Alfreton Rd, Nottingham NG7 3NG http://www.ryanfarmermusic.com Images Couresy of Ralph Barklam breezemagazine6 07_Layout 1 29/01/2019 19:19 Page 1 breezemagazine 7 08.strelly promo_Layout 1 30/01/2019 14:39 Page 1 breeze weddings People often don’t realise that there is a great place to hold a wedding right on our doorstep – Strelley Hall in the picturesque Strelley village.

  • P2LP Track Changed Version
    Part 2 Local Plan 20178 - 2028 Publication Version September 2017 Main Modifications May 2019 Foreword by Chair and Vice-Chair of Jobs and Economy Committee This Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan is the result of extensive work with local communities to secure the best future for the Borough and provides the detailed development management policies and site allocations to accompany the Part 1 Local Plan which is the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy. Its purpose is to take the difficult decisions to provide a clear local framework to secure positive development to enhance the Borough. This includes improving our town and district centres, and providing increased access to public open space whilst protecting the historic and natural environment. It is intended to provide a clear policy framework to enable those preparing their neighbourhood plans to achieve the best outcomes for their own areas. Some of the most significant challenges this plan seeks to address are to ensure access for residents to a high quality safe place to live. This can only be achieved by securing an increase in the rate of housing delivery overall, but in particular on the previously developed sites in the Borough’s urban areas including Chetwynd Barracks. This is done in order to secure the best possible outcome for local residents from HS2, and to ensure that the advantages of close proximity to major centres of employment both within Broxtowe and nearby are utilised to secure an upturn in inward investment in the Borough, particularly in the four town and district centres of Beeston, Eastwood, Kimberley and Stapleford.

  • Volume 4: Spring Walks
    1 Introduction Welcome to our fourth volume of ‘100 Walks from the Poppy and Pint’. This volume contains Spring Walks for you to enjoy now that the lockdown has eased. I hope that you find it useful. You will find 49 walks in this volume bringing the total number of walks in the series to 150! This volume is quite different to the other volumes. These walks have been specially selected from a wider radius of Lady Bay. This gives us more choice, more variety, and the chance to showcase different areas. Most of the walks start within 30 minutes’ drive from the Poppy and Pint and most are relatively short walks of around two to three hours. All have been chosen because they hold one or more points of interest. Moreover, the paths are quiet, they are varied, and all are on good, waymarked paths. This makes them ideal spring walks just after the lockdown. Being out on the trail in the open air anywhere lifts the spirits, is good for the soul, and gives our lives a different perspective. I think we always feel better when we come back from a walk! Do try it and see! This is the fourth volume of walks to complement Volumes One, Two and Three. Unfortunately, it is not possible to put these four volumes into one tome as the subsequent size of the file would be too big to e mail! When I set myself the challenge of researching and creating 100 local walks, I never actually thought it was possible.
