  • Stephen Mallinder. “Sheffield Is Not Sexy.”
    Nebula 4.3 , September 2007 Sheffield is not Sexy. By Stephen Mallinder Abstract The city of Sheffield’s attempts, during the early 1980s, at promoting economic regeneration through popular cultural production were unconsciously suggestive of later creative industries strategies. Post-work economic policies, which became significant to the Blair government a decade later, were evident in urban centres such as Manchester, Liverpool and Sheffield in nascent form. The specificity of Sheffield’s socio-economic configuration gave context, not merely to its industrial narrative but also to the city’s auditory culture, which was to frame well intended though subsequently flawed strategies for regeneration. Unlike other cities, most notably Manchester, the city’s mono-cultural characteristics failed to provide an effective entrepreneurial infrastructure on which to build immediate economic response to economic rationalisation and regional decline. Top-down municipal policies, which embraced the city’s popular music, gave centrality to cultural production in response to a deflated regional economy unable, at the time, to sustain rejuvenation through cultural consumption. Such embryonic strategies would subsequently become formalised though creative industry policies developing relationships with local economies as opposed to urban engineering through regional government. Building upon the readings of industrial cities such as Liverpool, New Orleans and Chicago, the post-work leisure economy has increasingly addressed the significance of the auditory effect in cities such as Manchester and Sheffield. However the failure of the talismanic National Centre for Popular Music signifies the inherent problems of institutionalizing popular cultural forms and resistance of sound to be anchored and contained. The city’s sonic narrative became contained in its distinctive patterns of cultural production and consumption that ultimately resisted attempts at compartmentalization and representation through what became colloquially known as ‘the museum of popular music’.

  • Sheffield Cathedral: Chapel Lighting (1 of 2 Projects Funded) Awarded £65,077 in March 2015
    Sheffield Cathedral: Chapel Lighting (1 of 2 projects funded) Awarded £65,077 in March 2015 The need The lighting and wiring in two chapels, the All Saints Chapel and the Chapel of the Holy Spirit (crypt chapel) had become unreliable, making them difficult to use for services and occasionally dangerous for visitors to enter. Components could no longer be obtained for the existing systems, which were in urgent need of attention: many fittings had failed through overheating or through faulty wiring. The crypt chapel was created in the 1930s as a First World War memorial, and the Dean observed It is quite distressing at times that elderly mourners feel anxious about entering the chapel because it is so poorly lit. Outcomes Now the lighting requires routine maintenance only. The All Saints Chapel is now a fitting memorial to those interred there from the York and Lancaster Regiment. Economic and social impact A local electrical contractor was used for the work. The spaces are once again safe and open, and can reliably be used for interment services. They are also being Lack of lighting in the crypt chapel before the work. regularly used by staff and clients from the Archer Photo credit: Thomas Ford Architects. Project, a provision within the cathedral complex for the homeless and vulnerable, for their weekly prayers.

Works completed CASS Electrical were instructed to undertake the work.

  • City of Sheffield Teachers' Choir
    2 | David Clover Competion for Singers CITY OF SHEFFIELD TEACHERS’ CHOIR The City of Sheffield Teachers’ Choir was formed on Thursday, 7 November, 1968 by Sheffield’s then Music Adviser, Dr. David Clover. It was a direct result of the daily choral sessions of his initial residential music course held at the Hayes Conference Centre, Swanwick. This was the first time that Sheffield music teachers had ever come together in this way and it was a historic occasion for Sheffield music. The choir’s first performance was the Festival of Lessons and Carols in Sheffield Cathedral during Christmastide 1968. For eleven years the choir flourished under David Clover’s baton, raising much money for children’s charities, both local and national, and giving opportunities for those connected, at that time, with the education service in Sheffield to come together and sing for the sheer joy of singing. Since his death in January 1979 the choir has continued to perform both at home and abroad. It celebrated its fortieth anniversary in 2008 with a concert at St. John’s Church, Ranmoor, on Friday 7 November. The repertoire is wide. Over the years performances have included Mozart’s Requiem, Dvorak’s Mass in D, Vivaldi’s Gloria, Bach’s Magnificat, Haydn’s Nelson, Harmoniemesse and Maria Theresa Masses, sacred music by various composers, church services, Stainer’s Crucifixion, Maunder’s Olivet to Calvary, William Lloyd Webber’s The Saviour and The Divine Compassion, concert versions of Gilbert and Sulivan operettas, opera choruses, part songs, spirtuals, folk songs and songs from the shows, as well as Festivals of Lessons and Carols.
