National Success for Wireless Group Strictly embargoed until 00.01, Thursday 4 August 2016 NATIONAL SUCCESS FOR WIRELESS GROUP • talkSPORT posts record figures, delivering highest ever audiences across FIVE weekday and weekend shows, and drawing 3.3million weekly listeners • New national stations triumph in first ever RAJAR result; Virgin Radio reaches 409,000 weekly listeners; talkSPORT 2 reaches 285,000; talkRADIO reaches 224,000 4 August 2016, London: Leading media owner, Wireless Group has seen an impressive set of RAJAR* results this quarter, with talkSPORT listenership increasing and the station smashing five of its own show records, as well as its three new sister radio stations, talkSPORT 2, talkRADIO and Virgin Radio, each delivering exciting first-time results for the Group. talkSPORT has increased its weekly reach to 3.3million listeners – the second highest result that the station has ever posted – with a record 49% of these listeners ABC1 men. The station has triumphed with its individual shows, breaking listener records across four of its key weekday shows – The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast (0600 – 1000), Colin Murray (1000 – 1300), Hawksbee & Jacobs (1300 – 1600) and Drivetime with Darren Gough and Adrian Durham (1600 – 1900) – and on its Saturday Sports Breakfast, hosted by Georgie Bingham and Micky Quinn (0700 – 1100). Re-launched music station Virgin Radio, which returned to the UK airwaves in March 2016 with experienced presenter Edith Bowman and a host of popular personalities at the helm, has also seen a great outcome, posting a weekly reach of 409,000 – a resounding success for the station’s first ever result. Edith’s own breakfast show has drawn in more than 200,000 weekly listeners, demonstrating a powerful combination of great music, big-name guests and engaging conversation. Listeners have been enticed by some exceptional content, which has included interviews with the likes of Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Kiedis and Kirsten Dunst, and live performances from popular acts including Ladyhawke, Tom Odell, The Coral, Editors, Travis, The Temper Trap and Turin Brakes. The station, which became the first national station to launch live from a moving train earlier this year, has already appeared at this year’s Latitude Festival, and has also harnessed the power of digital to create some engaging moments, including live studio broadcasts via Periscope and behind-the-scenes video content. talkSPORT 2, an extension of the much-loved talkSPORT brand, has also proven a popular choice, drawing an initial 285,000 listeners to the station. Launched to bring listeners access to a wider range of sports on British radio, talkSPORT 2’s content has been driven by a range of partnerships with leading sports rights holders, including the ICC World Twenty20 – where talkSPORT 2 was the only place listeners could hear every game – the Aviva Premiership, First Utility Superleague, La Liga, Indian Premier League, and ATP World Tour Masters, with the proven charismatic talkSPORT personality applied across the schedule. talkRADIO, the Group’s new speech radio station which is fronted by a number of opinionated personalities including Paul Ross, Julia Hartley-Brewer, Iain Lee, Eamonn Holmes and George Galloway, has also delivered 224,000 weekly listeners. In another coup for talkRADIO, the average listener is tuning in for 6.5 hours each week, confirming that the station’s engaging content – which has included interviews with some of the UK’s biggest names from the world of politics and entertainment, including Nigel Farage, Ken Livingstone, Julian Assange, Katie Price and Professor Green – is keeping listeners tuned in. Scott Taunton, Chief Operating Officer for Wireless Group plc, said: “In what has been an exceptionally busy period for us with the launch of three new national radio stations and a summer of football including the European Championships, we are delighted to have delivered audience growth for talkSPORT and to see our efforts rewarded following the launch of talkSPORT 2, talkRADIO and Virgin Radio.” “The return of the iconic Virgin Radio brand has seen a particularly impressive result with 409,000 listeners tuning in each week, which is very encouraging for such early days.” “Wireless Group’s national portfolio now reaches more than 3.8million people every single week. We will continue to invest in talent and content for our stations, ensuring that we remain a popular choice for both new and existing listeners.” -ENDS- For more information please contact Amy Grantham, Communications Director at Wireless Group: t: 020 7959 7928 m: 07870 910734 e: [email protected] Notes to Editors: * These official RAJAR figures cover the second quarter of the year, from 4 April to 26 June 2016.

  • Stop the War: the Story of Britain’S Biggest Mass Movement by Andrew Murray and Lindsey German, Bookmarks, 2005, 280 Pp
    Stop the War: The Story of Britain’s Biggest Mass Movement by Andrew Murray and Lindsey German, Bookmarks, 2005, 280 pp. Abdullah Muhsin and Gary Kent I am sorry. If you think I am going to sit back and agree with beheadings, kidnappings, torture and brutality, and outright terrorization of ordinary Iraqi and others, then you can forget it. I will not be involved whatsoever, to me it is akin to supporting the same brutality and oppression inflicted on Iraq by Saddam, and the invading and occupying forces of the USA. Mick Rix, former left-wing leader of the train drivers’ union, ASLEF, writing to Andrew Murray to resign from the Stop the War Coalition. Andrew Murray and Lindsey German are, respectively, the Chair and Convenor of the Stop the War Coalition. Their book tells a story about a ‘remarkable mass movement’ which the authors hope ‘can change the face of politics for a generation.’ It tracks the Coalition from its origins with no office, no bank account, just one full time volunteer, through the ‘chaos of its early meetings’ to the million-strong demonstration of February 2003. The book seeks to explain the Coalition’s success in bringing together the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) and ‘the Muslim Community’ to create ‘the broadest basis ever seen for a left-led movement.’ The authors attack the ‘imperialist’ doctrines of George Bush and Tony Blair, criticise the arguments of the ‘pro-war left,’ and finish with a chapter opposing the occupation and demanding immediate troop withdrawal. In addition, the book includes a broad

  • The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: the Life Cycle of the Child Performer
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Humanities Faculty School of Music April 2016 \A person's a person, no matter how small." Dr. Seuss UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Abstract Humanities Faculty School of Music Doctor of Philosophy The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook The purpose of the research reported here is to explore the part played by children in musical theatre. It aims to do this on two levels. It presents, for the first time, an historical analysis of involvement of children in theatre from its earliest beginnings to the current date. It is clear from this analysis that the role children played in the evolution of theatre has been both substantial and influential, with evidence of a number of recurring themes. Children have invariably made strong contributions in terms of music, dance and spectacle, and have been especially prominent in musical comedy. Playwrights have exploited precocity for comedic purposes, innocence to deliver difficult political messages in a way that is deemed acceptable by theatre audiences, and youth, recognising the emotional leverage to be obtained by appealing to more primitive instincts, notably sentimentality and, more contentiously, prurience. Every age has had its child prodigies and it is they who tend to make the headlines. However the influence of educators and entrepreneurs, artistically and commercially, is often underestimated. Although figures such as Wescott, Henslowe and Harris have been recognised by historians, some of the more recent architects of musical theatre, like Noreen Bush, are largely unheard of outside the theatre community.

  • Antisemitism in the Radical Left and the British Labour Party, by Dave Rich
    Kantor Center Position Papers Editor: Mikael Shainkman January 2018 ANTISEMITISM IN THE RADICAL LEFT AND THE BRITISH LABOUR PARTY Dave Rich* Executive Summary Antisemitism has become a national political issue and a headline story in Britain for the first time in decades because of ongoing problems in the Labour Party. Labour used to enjoy widespread Jewish support but increasing left wing hostility towards Israel and Zionism, and a failure to understand and properly oppose contemporary antisemitism, has placed increasing distance between the party and the UK Jewish community. This has emerged under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, a product of the radical 1960s New Left that sees Israel as an apartheid state created by colonialism, but it has been building on the fringes of the left for decades. Since Corbyn became party leader, numerous examples of antisemitic remarks made by Labour members, activists and elected officials have come to light. These remarks range from opposition to Israel’s existence or claims that Zionism collaborated with Nazism, to conspiracy theories about the Rothschilds or ISIS. The party has tried to tackle the problem of antisemitism through procedural means and generic declarations opposing antisemitism, but it appears incapable of addressing the political culture that produces this antisemitism: possibly because this radical political culture, borne of anti-war protests and allied to Islamist movements, is precisely where Jeremy Corbyn and his closest associates find their political home. A Crisis of Antisemitism Since early 2016, antisemitism has become a national political issue in Britain for the first time in decades. This hasn’t come about because of a surge in support for the far right, or jihadist terrorism against Jews.

  • Reality, Realism and Fantasy: a Study of Ray's Children's Fiction Hirak
    Reality, Realism and Fantasy: A Study of Ray’s Children’s fiction Hirak Rajar Deshe Arpita Sarker Research Scholar (M.Phil.) University of Delhi India Abstract In my paper I intend to first explain different form of realism by discussing Ian Watt‟s definition of realism, in The Rise of The Novel comparing and contrasting it with Brecht and Luckas‟s idea of realism as explained in Bertolt Brecht: Against George Luckas. Secondly I will discuss in brief the difference between reality and realism in a work of fiction. Thirdly, I will talk about the portrayal of reality and realism in children‟s literature, using socialist realism and Brecht‟s view on it. In order to discuss third part of my paper I will analyze film maker Satyajit Ray and his socialist- realist- fantasy film Hirak Rajar Deshe. The movie is adapted from Ray‟s father‟s collection of work for children name Goopy Gayen and Bagha Bayen. Keywords: Fantasy, Reality, Realism, Socialism, Brecht. www.ijellh.com 50 Children‟s literature is a genre that is vastly dependent on fantastic elements that make it appealing to children and adults. The fantastic elements, on the surface, act as a model for psychologically cushioning that protects the child from the harsh realities of life and bestow moral messages to the masses. But the fantastical element alone cannot reveal the social, political, or moral message the fiction intends to spread. The fantasy element is hence paradoxical complicated by the presence of realism in Children‟s Literature. The use of realism, in the façade of fantasy, and larger than life characters, has helped writers to adhere to the real intention of children‟s literature.
