We were shorthanded Saturday night, so when a huge fire broke out in East Cleveland, I grabbed my D80 with 18-200 VR lens. And 4 hours later I STILL smell like smoke! But it was fun. As I explained already, "I just pretended the building was a big flower." (It ran in color in Sunday's Metro section. Thank goodness for the setting sun!)

This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 6th October 1916
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images and have any stories and information to add please comment below.

La grande stagione dei concerti milanesi non poteva dirsi tale senza gli Independent Days, meglio conosciuti come IDays. La manifestazione musicale, si svolge dal 21 al 24 giugno presso il Parco Experience di Rho, ovvero la struttura nata dall’ex Area Expo 2015.
Richard Ashcroft nasce in Inghilterra nel 1971. Cresciuto a Wigan, Lancashire, alla fine degli anni ’80 il giovane Ashcroft, detto “Mad Richard” per il suo carattere esuberante e imprevedibile forma i The Verve con gli amici Nick McCabe (chitarra), Simon Jones (basso), Peter Salisbury (batteria).
Il disco di debutto, “A Storm In Heaven” (1993) riceve ottime recensioni. Due anni dopo è la volta di “A Northern Soul” ma il vero salto verso il grande pubblico arriva con il singolo “Bitter Sweet Symphony”, che diventa uno dei più grandi successi mondiali del 1997 e il loro disco “Urban Hymns” proietta la band ai vertici del pop europeo. Tuttavia, alcuni attriti intaccano i The Verve che, dopo la fuoriuscita di McCabe e una brusca interruzione del tour del 1998, si scioglie nella primavera 1999. Poco dopo Ashcroft annuncia l’inizio della carriera solista. “Alone With Everybody” viene pubblicato nel 2000, una sorta di tributo alla moglie Kate Radley, ex tastierista degli Spiritualized.
Nel 2002 esce “Human Conditions”, che contiene i super singoli “Check The Meaning” e “Nature Is The Law”, quest’ultimo frutto della collaborazione con l’ex Beach Boy Brian Wilson. Dopo un tour estivo nel 2005, quando apre per i Coldplay duettando con Chris Martin anche sul palco del Live8, Ashcroft pubblica nel 2006 “Keys To The World”, il terzo album solista. Nel 2007 riforma i Verve. La band va in tour in Inghilterra e si prepara a pubblicare “Forth” ma la reunion dura poco: nel 2009 infatti i dissapori tra Ashcroft e McCabe portano ad un’altra rottura del gruppo. Ashcroft forma così una nuova band, gli United Nations of Sound, con cui esce un singolo “Are You Ready?” nel gennaio 2010, e il disco a seguire nell'estate dello stesso anno.
Pubblicato a maggio 2016 da Cooking Vinyl, “There People” è l’ultimo album di Richard Ashcroft.

Piccadilly Circus
Piccadilly Circus is a road junction and public space in London's West End. It was built in order to connect Regent Street with Piccadilly. In this context, a circus, from the Latin word meaning "circle", is a round open space at a street junction.
The Circus now connects Piccadilly, Regent Street, Shaftesbury Avenue, the Haymarket, Coventry Street (onwards to Leicester Square) and Glasshouse Street.
Piccadilly Circus is close to major shopping and entertainment areas, and its status as a major traffic junction has made the Circus a busy meeting place and a tourist attraction in its own right.
Piccadilly Circus is particularly known for its video display and neon signs mounted on the corner building on the northern side, as well as the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain and statue of Anteros (which is popularly, though mistakenly, believed to represent Eros).
Piccadilly Circus is surrounded by several notable buildings, including the London Pavilion and Criterion Theatre. Underneath the plaza is Piccadilly Circus Underground Station, part of the London Underground system.
History of Piccadilly Circus
Piccadilly Circus connects to Piccadilly, a thoroughfare whose name first appeared in 1626 as Piccadilly Hall, named after a house belonging to one Robert Baker, a tailor famous for selling piccadills, a term used for various kinds of collars.
The street was named Portugal Street in 1692 in honour of Catherine of Braganza, the queen consort of King Charles II, but by 1743 it was being referred to as Piccadilly.
Piccadilly Circus was created in 1819, at the junction with Regent Street, which was then being built under the planning of John Nash on the site of a house and garden belonging to a Lady Hutton. The intersection was then known as Regent Circus South (just as Oxford Circus was known as Regent Circus North), and it did not begin to be known as Piccadilly Circus until the mid 1880's, with the construction of Shaftesbury Avenue. In the same period, the Circus lost its circular form.
The junction has been a very busy traffic interchange since construction, as it lies at the centre of Theatreland, and handles exit traffic from Piccadilly, which Charles Dickens Jr. described as follows in 1879:
"Piccadilly, the great thoroughfare leading
from the Haymarket and Regent Street
westward to Hyde Park Corner, is the nearest
approach to the Parisian boulevard of which
London can boast."
Piccadilly Circus tube station was opened on the 10th. March 1906, on the Bakerloo line, and on the Piccadilly line in December of that year. In 1928, the station was extensively rebuilt to handle an increase in traffic.
Piccadilly Circus's first electric advertisements appeared in 1908, and, from 1923, electric billboards were set up on the façade of the London Pavilion. Electric street lamps, however, did not replace the gas ones until 1932.
The circus became a one-way roundabout on the 19th. July 1926, and traffic lights were first installed on the 3rd. August 1926.
During World War II many servicemen's clubs in the West End served American soldiers based in Britain. So many prostitutes roamed the area approaching the soldiers that they received the nickname "Piccadilly Commandos", and both Scotland Yard and the Foreign Office discussed possible damage to Anglo-American relations.
The Holford Plan for the Circus
At the start of the 1960's, it was determined that the Circus needed to be redeveloped to allow for greater traffic flow. In 1962, Lord Holford presented a plan which would have created a "double-decker" Piccadilly Circus; the upper deck would have been an elevated pedestrian concourse linking the buildings around the perimeter of the Circus, with the lower deck being solely for traffic, most of the ground-level pedestrian areas having been removed to allow for greater vehicle flow.
This concept was kept alive throughout the rest of the 1960's. A final scheme in 1972 proposed three octagonal towers (the highest 240 feet (73 m) tall) to replace the Trocadero, the Criterion and the "Monico" buildings.
Fortunately the plans were permanently rejected by Sir Keith Joseph and Ernest Marples; the key reason given was that Holford's scheme only allowed for a 20% increase in traffic, and the Government required 50%.
The Holford plan is referenced in the documentary film "Goodbye, Piccadilly", produced by the Rank Organisation in 1967 as part of their Look at Life series when it was still seriously expected that Holford's recommendations would be acted upon. Piccadilly Circus has since escaped major redevelopment, apart from extensive ground-level pedestrianisation around its south side in the 1980's.
Terrorist Bombs
Piccadilly Circus has been targeted by Irish republican terrorists multiple times. On the 24th. June 1939 an explosion occurred, although no injuries were caused, and on the 25th. November 1974 a bomb injured 16 people. A 2lb bomb also exploded on the 6th. October 1992, injuring five people.
The Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain
The Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain in Piccadilly Circus was erected in 1893 to commemorate Anthony Ashley Cooper, 7th. Earl of Shaftesbury. Lord Shaftesbury was a Victorian politician, philanthropist and social reformer.
It was removed from the Circus twice and moved from the centre once.
The first time was in 1922, so that Charles Holden's new tube station could be built directly below it. The fountain returned in 1931. During the Second World War, the fountain was removed for the second time and replaced by advertising hoardings. It was returned again in 1948.
When the Circus underwent reconstruction work in the late 1980's, the entire fountain was moved from the centre of the junction at the beginning of Shaftesbury Avenue to its present position at the southwestern corner.
The subject of the Memorial is the Greek god Anteros, and was officially given the name The Angel of Christian Charity, but it is generally mistakenly believed to be his brother Eros.
Location and Sights
Piccadilly Circus is surrounded by tourist attractions, including the Criterion Theatre, London Pavilion and retail stores. Nightclubs, restaurants and bars are located in the area and neighbouring Soho, including the former Chinawhite Club.
Illuminated Signs
Piccadilly Circus was surrounded by illuminated advertising hoardings on buildings, starting in 1908 with a Perrier sign, but only one building now carries them, the one in the north-western corner between Shaftesbury Avenue and Glasshouse Street. The site is unnamed (usually referred to as "Monico" after the Café Monico, which used to be on the site); it has been owned by property investor Land Securities Group since the 1970's.
The earliest signs used incandescent light bulbs; these were replaced with neon lights and with moving signs (there was a large Guinness clock at one time). The first Neon sign was for the British meat extract Bovril.
From December 1998, digital projectors were used for the Coke sign, the square's first digital billboard, while in the 2000's there was a gradual move to LED displays, which by 2011 had completely replaced neon lamps.
The number of signs has reduced over the years as the rental costs have increased, and in January 2017 the six remaining advertising screens were switched off as part of their combination into one large ultra-high definition curved Daktronics display, turning the signs off during renovation for the longest time since the 1940's. On the 26th. October 2017, the new screen was switched on for the first time.
Until the 2017 refurbishment, the site had six LED advertising screens above three large retail units facing Piccadilly Circus on the north side, occupied by Boots, Gap and a mix of smaller retail, restaurant and office premises fronting the other streets.
A Burger King located under the Samsung advert, which had been a Wimpy Bar until 1989, closed in 2008, and was converted into a Barclays Bank.
Coca-Cola has had a sign at Piccadilly Circus since 1954. In September 2003, the previous digital projector board and the site that had been occupied by Nescafé was replaced with a state-of-the-art LED video display that curves round with the building.
From 1978 to 1987 the spot had been used by Philips Electronics, and a neon advertisement for Foster's used the location from 1987 until 1999.
For several months in 2002, the Nescafé sign was replaced by a sign featuring the quote "Imagine all the people living life in peace" by Beatle John Lennon. This was paid for by his widow Yoko Ono, who spent an estimated £150,000 to display an advert at this location. Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Coca-Cola Zero, Fanta, Sprite and Vitamin Water have all been advertised in the space.
The Hyundai Motors sign launched on the 29th. September 2011. It replaced a sign for Sanyo which had occupied the space since 1988, the last to be run using neon lights rather than Hyundai's computerised LED screen.
Earlier Sanyo signs with older logos had occupied the position since 1978, although these were only half the size of the later space.
McDonald's added its sign in 1987, replacing one for BASF. The sign was changed from neon to LED in 2001. A bigger, brighter screen was installed by Daktronics in 2008.
Samsung added its sign in November 1994, the space having been previously occupied by Canon Inc. (1978–84) and Panasonic (1984–94). The sign was changed from neon to LED in summer 2005, and the screen was upgraded and improved in autumn 2011.
L'Oréal, Hunter Original and eBay had signs in the Piccadilly Circus billboards since October 2017. One Piccadilly, the highest resolution of all the LED displays was installed by Daktronics in late 2013, underneath the Samsung and McDonald's signs. It allowed other companies to advertise for both short- and long-term leases, increasing the amount of advertising space but using the same screen for multiple brands.
The Curve, a similar space to One Piccadilly, was added in 2015, replacing a space previously occupied by Schweppes (1920–61), BP (1961–67), Cinzano (1967–78), Fujifilm (1978–86), Kodak (1986–90) and TDK (1990–2015).
On special occasions the lights are switched off, such as the deaths of Winston Churchill in 1965 and Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997. On the 21st. June 2007, they were switched off for one hour as part of the Lights Out London campaign.
Other companies and brands that have had signs on the site include Bovril, Volkswagen, Max Factor, Wrigley's Spearmint, Skol, Air India and Will's Gold Flake Cigarettes.
By way of a summary, and to aid the dating of other photographs of Piccadilly Circus, major brands and dates are as follows:
-- BASF up to 1987
-- Bovril from 1923
-- BP 1961 to 1967

-- From 1954 to 1959 the Guinness clock had two sealions under it.
-- From 1959 to 1972 the Guinness ad featured a cuckoo clock with a swinging pendulum featuring two back-to-back toucans.
The Criterion Theatre
The Criterion Theatre, which is a Grade II* listed building, stands on the south side of Piccadilly Circus. Apart from the box office area, the entire theatre, with nearly 600 seats, is underground, and is reached by descending a tiled stairway. Columns are used to support both the dress circle and the upper circle, restricting the views of many of the seats inside.
The theatre was designed by Thomas Verity, and opened as a theatre on the 21st. March 1874, although original plans were for it to become a concert hall.
In 1883, the Criterion was forced to close in order to improve ventilation and to replace gaslights with electric lights, and was re-opened the following year. The theatre closed in 1989 and was extensively renovated, re-opening in October 1992.
The London Pavilion
On the north-eastern side of Piccadilly Circus is the London Pavilion. The first building bearing the name was built in 1859, and was a music hall. In 1885, Shaftesbury Avenue was built through the former site of the Pavilion, and a new London Pavilion was constructed, which also served as a music hall. In 1924 electric billboards were erected on the side of the building.
In 1934, the building underwent significant structural alteration and was converted into a cinema. In 1986, the building was rebuilt, preserving the 1885 façade, and converted into a shopping arcade.
In 2000, the building was connected to the neighbouring Trocadero Centre, and signage on the building was altered in 2003 to read "London Trocadero". The basement of the building connects with the Underground station.
Major Shops
The former Swan & Edgar department store on the west side of the Circus was built in 1928–29 to a design by Reginald Blomfield. Since the closure of the department store in the early 1980's, the building has been successively the flagship London store of music chains Tower Records, Virgin Megastore and Zavvi. The current occupier is clothing brand The Sting.
Lillywhites is a major retailer of sporting goods located on the corner of the circus and Lower Regent Street, next to the Shaftesbury fountain. It moved to its present site in 1925. Lillywhites is popular with tourists, and they regularly offer sale items, including international football jerseys at up to 90% off.
Nearby Fortnum & Mason is often considered to be part of the Piccadilly Circus shopping area, and is known for its expansive food hall.
The County Fire Office
Dominating the north side of the Circus, on the corner of Glasshouse Street, is the County Fire Office building, with a statue of Britannia on the roof. The original building was designed by John Nash as the extreme southern end of his Regent Street Quadrant.
Its dramatic façade was clearly influenced by Inigo Jones's old Somerset House. Although Robert Abraham was the County Fire Insurance Company's architect, it was probably Nash who was instrumental in choosing the design.
In 1924 the old County Fire Office was demolished and replaced with a similar but much coarser building designed by Reginald Blomfield, but retaining the statue of Britannia. During the London Blitz it was the only building in the Circus to be damaged, although only a few window panes were blown out. The building is Grade II listed.
Piccadilly Circus Underground Station
Piccadilly Circus station on the London Underground is located directly beneath Piccadilly Circus itself, with entrances at every corner. It is one of the few stations to have no associated buildings above ground, and is fully underground. The below-ground concourse and subway entrances are Grade II listed.
The station is on the Piccadilly line between Green Park and Leicester Square, and the Bakerloo line between Charing Cross and Oxford Circus.
Demonstrations at Piccadilly Circus
The Circus' status as a high-profile public space has made it the location for numerous political demonstrations, including the 15th. February 2003 anti-war protest and the "Carnival Against Capitalism" protest against the 39th. G8 summit in 2013.
Piccadilly Circus in Popular Culture
The phrase 'It's like Piccadilly Circus' is commonly used in the UK to refer to a place or situation which is extremely busy with people. It has been said that a person who stays long enough at Piccadilly Circus will eventually bump into everyone they know.
Probably because of this connection, during World War II, "Piccadilly Circus" was the code name given to the Allies' D-Day invasion fleet's assembly location in the English Channel.
Piccadilly Circus has inspired both artists and musicians. Piccadilly Circus (1912) is the name and subject of a painting by British artist Charles Ginner, part of the Tate Britain collection.
Sculptor Paul McCarthy produced a 320-page two-volume edition of video stills by the name of Piccadilly Circus.
In the lyrics of their song "Mother Goose", on the Aqualung album from 1971, the band Jethro Tull tells:
"And a foreign student said to me:
'Was it really true there were
elephants, lions too, in Piccadilly
Circus?'".
Bob Marley mentioned Piccadilly Circus in his song "Kinky Reggae", on the Catch a Fire album in 1973.
L. S. Lowry's painting Piccadilly Circus, London (1960), part of Lord Charles Forte's collection for almost three decades, sold for £5,641,250 when auctioned for the first time at Christie's on the 16th. November 2011.
Contemporary British painter Carl Randall's painting 'Piccadilly Circus' (2017) is a large monochrome canvas depicting the area at night with crowds, the making of which involved painting over 70 portraits from life.
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), the second campaign mission takes place at Piccadilly Circus, where the game has the player intervene during a terrorist attack by the fictional terrorist group Al-Qatala. There is also a multi-player map called Piccadilly, which appears to take place in the aftermath of the terrorist attack.
Circa
Circa is an art platform based at London's Piccadilly Circus. They commission and stream a monthly programme of art and culture, every evening at 20:21, across a global network of billboards in London, Tokyo and Seoul.
Established in October 2020 by British-Irish artist Josef O'Connor, the daily and free public art programme pauses the world famous advertisements in Piccadilly Circus and across a global network of screens for three minutes every evening.
They commission new work to fill the space that considers the world in response to the present year. It is the largest digital art exhibition in Europe. O'Connor recalls:
‘I first had the idea when I was 19, but it was only
about three years ago that I acted on it and reached
out to the screen owner, Landsec, via Twitter.
I was inspired by Piccadilly’s kinetic architecture -
how it morphed and changed with time to reflect
the world - from neon lights in 1908 to the iconic
red and white Sanyo sign in the 1990's, etc.
You could accurately guess the decade by just
looking at a photo or postcard of the landmark.
This inspired the concept for Circa, to pause time
and commission artists to create new work that
considers the world around them, circa 2020/21, etc.’
The first artist to fill the three-minute daily slot was Ai Weiwei, who is quoted as saying in an interview with The Art Newspaper that:
"Circa 2020 offers a very important platform
for artists to exercise their practice and to
reach out to a greater public”.
Other notable artists and curators whose works have been exhibited as part of the Circa programme include Cauleen Smith, Eddie Peake, Patti Smith, James Barnor curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Vivienne Westwood, David Hockney, Alvaro Barrington and Anne Imhof.
Each commission for the project is approved by an independent council chaired by the British independent curator and ex-director of The Royal Academy, Norman Rosenthal.
On the 1st. January 2021, Circa commissioned two live performances from Patti Smith to help put an end to 2020 and beckon in the New Year. The New Year's Eve screening in Piccadilly Circus was eventually cancelled due to Covid restrictions, but the performance was still broadcast for free via the Circa YouTube Channel on the 31st. December to an audience of over 1.5million people around the world.
Circa and Serpentine Galleries' collaborative presentation of James Barnor’s work in April 2021 completed a journey that began more than half a century ago, when Barnor photographed BBC Africa Service presenter Mike Eghan against the backdrop of Piccadilly Circus’s neon signs in 1967.
The iconic image is held within the Tate collection, and was the inspiration behind Ferdinando Verderi’s Italian Vogue cover, with Barnor remote-shooting model Adwoa Aboah standing in the exact same location to create a present reflection on the past.
To celebrate her 80th. Birthday, British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood was commissioned by Circa to present a new video work in Piccadilly Circus created with her brother entitled 'Don't Buy a Bomb,' an anti-war message presented for ten minutes on the Piccadilly Lights screen.
In the ten-minute film, the punk icon performed a re-written rendition of ‘Without You’ from My Fair Lady to offer a stark warning of societal indifference to looming environmental catastrophes, a cry against the arms trade, and its link to climate change.
In May 2021, British artist David Hockney's 2.5 minute iPad drawing of a sunrise entitled “Remember you cannot look at the sun or death for very long,” was broadcast by Circa across digital billboard screens in London's Piccadilly Circus, New York's Times Square and prominent locations in Los Angeles, Tokyo and the largest outdoor screen in Seoul.
Oppression in China
So what else happened on the day that Daphne posted the card?
Well, on the 3rd. August 1966, a radio broadcast by China's Prime Minister Zhou Enlai in Ürümqi called on the people of the multi-ethnic Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region to support the Cultural Revolution.
Within a month, the predominantly Sunni Muslim Uyghurs were under the persecution of the mostly Han Chinese Red Guards.
Archie C. Kuntze
Also on that day, a U.S. Navy board of inquiry recommended a court-martial for Captain Archie C. Kuntze for misconduct during his two years as commander of the supply depot operations within South Vietnam.
Captain Kuntze, who called himself "The American Mayor of Saigon", was convicted on the 14th. November 1966 of lesser charges involving a romantic affair. He received a reprimand.
Lenny Bruce
The 3rd. August 1966 also marked the death at the age of 40 of the American comedian Lenny Bruce. He died from an overdose of morphine.
Lenny was found in the bathroom at his home at 8825 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California, reportedly with the needle of his syringe still lodged in his arm.
The day before, he had received a foreclosure notice on his house.

C'era una volta una coppia di fratellini, amabili, litigiosi, stelle della musica rock mondiale. Si tratta degli Oasis, Liam e Noel Thomas David Gallagher.
Proprio Noel, chitarrista e seconda voce della band, the King britpop, il più irrequieto, non si arrende e decide di fondare un progetto tutto suo: i Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. Noel Gallagher ora è in concerto al Fabrique.
I Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds sono un gruppo alternative rock inglese fondato da Noel Gallagher nel 2010, dopo lo scioglimento degli Oasis.
Come specificato più volte dallo stesso Gallagher, in realtà non si tratta di una band in senso stretto, non potendo contare su una formazione stabile e consolidata, bensì di un "collettivo" soggetto a mutamenti.
Adesso ne comincia una nuova. Chasing Yesterday è il nuovo lavoro discografico del gruppo di Noel, da cui è tratto il singolo In The Heat Of The Moment, brano che annuncia un album variegatissimo e molto interessante.
Dal west coast rock al rock'n'roll classico fino addirittura allo space jazz, con assoluta maestria.
Il surrealismo non è da meno. Proprio l'ipnotico primo singolo è ispirato a un documentario in cui un astronauta dice che andare nello spazio per la prima volta è come toccare il viso di Dio. "Se questa non è la frase iniziale perfetta per una canzone - dichiara Gallagher - non so cosa possa esserlo".

Milano, 14 Ottobre 2011 – È possibile ricreare su disco la commozione trasportata che ci coglie quando, seduti in un cinema, veniamo coinvolti dalla trama e dai personaggi? La risposta a questa “mission impossible” ce la dà Folco Orselli con il suo ultimo lavoro “Generi di conforto” liberamente ispirato al grande cinema di Sergio Leone, Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock e alla tradizione delle grandi colonne sonore con uso dell’orchestra d’archi, per la prima volta impiegata dal cantautore milanese per questo suo nuovo CD, il 4° della sua ultra-decennale carriera musicale che lo ha visto trionfare nell’edizione 2008 di MUSICULTURA (già Premio Recanati) con la triplice assegnazione del Premio della Critica, del Pubblico e per il Miglior Testo.
“Generi di conforto” ha una storia originale. È nato in un Trullo vicino a Martina Franca dove Folco si è rifugiato insieme a Vincenzo Messina arrangiatore e co-produttore artistico (assieme a Folco stesso del disco) per realizzare un album in totale libertà creativa, realizzando dieci canzoni accomunate da un arrangiamento del disco visionario ed entusiasmante, dove è stato dato libero sfogo alla pittura sonora che solo un’orchestra d’archi può donare. Un omaggio a un certo tipo di musica elegante e raffinata, vedi ad esempio l’avvolgente “In equilibrio (cadendo nel blues)” o l’intimistica “Macaria” splendidamente introdotta da un pianoforte liquido che fa da contrappunto alla calda voce di Folco, il tutto sorretto da un magnifico tappeto d’archi o ancora l’istantanea “La Ballata di Piazzale Maciachini” che ti racconta di come puoi trovare la bellezza e la poesia anche in un angolo di periferia.

Sabato 8 giugno 2013 nell’Arena concerti di Rho Fiera ha avuto luogo uno degli appuntamenti più importanti di quest’estate per i fan dell’heavy metal, ovvero il festival Sonisphere 2013, con la partecipazione di ben sette formazioni fra le quali, gruppo di punta, gli Iron Maiden.
Ghost B.C. sono una vera band di culto, nata a Stoccolma nel 2008 e capace di attirare l’attenzione con un solo disco. Nel 2013 esce però l’attesissimo secondo lavoro: i due misteriosi membri fondatori (dai fantastici nomi Papa Emeritus II e Nameless Ghouls) saranno ben lieti di proporre i nuovi brani, attirando anche i non-fedeli grazie al loro look decisamente eccentrico (e, sì, ‘papale’).
Ovviamente lo show al festival sarà diverso, sia per il minutaggio ridotto, sia per il fatto (quasi inedito) che il gruppo suonerà alla luce del giorno. Uno dei Nameless Ghoul, durante l’intervista esclusiva con Soundsblog, non si era detto spaventato dalla sfida:
“Suonare di giorno chiaramente non è la stessa cosa, ma un paio di volte l’abbiamo già fatto e sappiamo che può funzionare. Fortunatamente non siamo una band solo teatrale, abbiamo anche una musica più che buona da far ascoltare, quindi anche se la scenografia è meno d’impatto, la musica rimane la stessa, e si spera che sia la musica ad attirare la gente. Per tutto il resto, vale il discorso che facevo prima riguardo alle band con cui suoniamo ai festival: vogliamo raggiungere il maggior numero possibile di persone, e se per farlo dobbiamo a volte suonare di giorno, è sempre meglio che non suonare del tutto.”

Part of a larger long term project. This is from the cover of the book Practical English, Book 2, published in 1971 as a companion piece to the pioneering ESL television program Sut Yung Ying Yee (Practical English), put out in San Francisco by Chinese For Affirmative Action in 1970. Eventually, I intend to restore & colorize the whole book cover, but that's going to take awhile.
There are four little vignette pictures along the front spine of the book, and, as of this moment, I've now posted the two easy ones from the middle. The other two, on the top and bottom, are slightly more damaged, and there are many ambiguous details which require some research on the bottom one.
Seeing the lady's matching purse & gloves brings to my mind my mother telling me that, when she was growing up in the 50's & early 60's, a woman never thought of going to downtown San Francisco without gloves.
I'd like to do some more research on this program. If anyone knows where it can still be watched, or if you can tell me who the people in the pictures are, please let me know. All of the actors in the program--according to some sources--were local activists.
In terms of the restoration/ colorization, this was the easiest of the four little pictures: not very damaged, and a plain background. I used the standard method of cutting different layers for different colors. I tried several colors for the lady's dress before settling on this violet shade.

The Postcard
A postcard bearing no publisher's name that was published in Great Britain. It features the usual execrable poem that seems to be a mandatory feature of early greetings cards.
The card was posted in Manchester using a ½d. stamp on Thursday the 27th. July 1916. It was sent to:
Miss E. Hallam,
43, Oakfield Street,
Altrincham.
The pencilled message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"To wish you very many
Happy Returns of the
Day.
Love Phyllis."
The Battle of Delville Wood
So what else happened on the day that Phyllis posted the card to Elsie?
Well, on the 27th. July 1916, a massive artillery barrage by the British destroyed much of the German defenses in Delville Wood, with patrols describing:
"A horrible scene of chaos
and destruction".
However despite horrific losses, German forces recovered and launched a counter-assault on the eastern side of the wood.
-- 'At Delville'
'At Delville' is a poem written by Robert Ernest Vernède in 1916. He was Second Lieutenant in a battalion of The Rifle Brigade.
Robert was wounded during the Battle of the Somme, and was killed in action at Havrincourt on the 9th April 1917.
He is buried in Le Bucquière Communal Cemetery Extension. This poem was found among his belongings after his death.
'At Delville I lost three Sergeants
And never within my ken
Had one of them taken thought for his life
Or cover for aught but his men.
Not for two years of fighting
Through that devilish strain and noise;
Yet one of them called out as he died -
"I've been so ambitious, boys"...
And I thought to myself, "Ambitious!"
Did he mean that he longed for power?
But I knew that he'd never thought of himself
Save in his dying hour.
And one left a note for his mother,
Saying he gladly died
For England, and wished no better thing..
How she must weep with pride.
And one with never a word fell,
Talking's the one thing he'd shirk,
But I never knew him other than keen
For things like danger and work.
Those Sergeants I lost at Delville
On a night that was cruel and black,
They gave their lives for England's sake,
They will never come back.
What of the hundreds in whose hearts
Thoughts no less splendid burn?
I wonder what England will do for them
If ever they return?'
The Execution of Charles Fryatt
Also on that day, English civilian ferry captain Charles Fryatt was executed at Bruges, Belgium, after a German court-martial condemned him for attempting to ram a U-boat in 1915.
Keenan Wynn
The 27th. July 1916 also marked the birth in NYC of the American character actor Keenan Wynn.
Keenan is known for his character supporting roles in films such as Annie Get Your Gun and The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit.
His expressive face was his stock-in-trade; although he rarely carried the lead role, he had prominent billing in most of his film and television roles.
-- Keenan Wynn - The Early Years
Francis Xavier Aloysius James Jeremiah Keenan Wynn was the son of vaudeville comedian Ed Wynn and his wife, the former Hilda Keenan who was a minor actress. His father was Jewish and his mother was of Irish Catholic background.
He took his stage name from his maternal grandfather, Frank Keenan, one of the first Broadway actors to star in Hollywood.
During the height of his father's Broadway popularity, Keenan grew up in the lap of luxury, and was educated at St. John's Military Academy.
-- Keenan Wynn's Theatre and Radio Work
Wynn began his career as a stage actor. He appeared in several plays on Broadway, including Remember the Day (1935), Black Widow (1936), Hitch Your Wagon (1937), The Star Wagon (1938), One for the Money (1939), Two for the Show (1940), and The More the Merrier (1941).
Wynn starred in the radio show The Amazing Mr. Smith in 1941. He played the title role, a carefree young man who runs into trouble galore and becomes an involuntary detective.
-- Keenan Wynn's Film and Television Work
Wynn appeared in hundreds of films and television series between 1934 and 1986. He was a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer contract player during the 1940's and 1950's.
He had a brief role as a belligerent, unsympathetic drunk in the wartime romance The Clock (1945). Arguably his most dynamic performance was a small role in The Hucksters (1948) with Clark Gable.
Keenan's early postwar credits include The Three Musketeers (1948), playing D'Artagnan's servant; Annie Get Your Gun (1950); Royal Wedding (1951); Kiss Me, Kate (1953); The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit (1956); The Absent-Minded Professor (1961); The Americanization of Emily (1964) and Dr. Strangelove (1964).
The Wynns, father and son, both appeared in the original 1956 Playhouse 90 television production of Rod Serling's Requiem for a Heavyweight. Keenan had helped his father overcome professional collapse, a harrowing divorce, and a nervous breakdown to return to work a decade earlier, and he now helped convince Serling that the elder Wynn should play the wistful trainer.
Both Keenan and his father also appeared in a subsequent TV drama called The Man in the Funny Suit (1960), which detailed the problems they had experienced while working on that series. In it, the Wynns, Serling, and many of the cast and crew played themselves.
Keenan also featured in another Rod Serling production, a Twilight Zone episode entitled, "A World of His Own" (1960) as playwright Gregory West, who uniquely caused series creator Rod Serling to disappear.
In 1959 Wynn starred in S. J. Perelman's Hollywood satire, "Malice in Wonderland", broadcast on NBC's prestigious Sunday afternoon anthology series Omnibus.
He had a leading role in the third Beach Party movie, Bikini Beach (1964) as a scheming newspaper publisher who wants to banish the local young people. Later he played Hezakiah in the comedy film The Great Race (1965).
Wynn took a dramatic turn as Yost in the crime drama Point Blank (1967) with Lee Marvin.
Keenan was the voice of the Winter Warlock in Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town (1970). He also appeared in several Disney films, including Snowball Express (1972), Herbie Rides Again (1974) and The Shaggy D.A. (1976).
He appeared as villainous businessman Alonzo Hawk in three Disney films – The Absent-Minded Professor, Son of Flubber, and Herbie Rides Again.
Keenan also appeared in Francis Ford Coppola's musical Finian's Rainbow (1968), Sergio Leone's epic western Once Upon a Time in the West (also 1968), and Robert Altman's Nashville (1975).
During this time, his guest television roles included Alias Smith and Jones (1971–1972), Emergency! (1975), Movin' On (1975) and The Bionic Woman (1978).
Wynn appeared in ten episodes of TV's Dallas during the 1979–1980 season, playing the role of former Ewing family partner-turned-enemy Digger Barnes.
Wynn was initially cast in Superman (1978) to play Perry White (the boss of Clark Kent and Lois Lane at the Daily Planet) in April 1977. However by June 1977 (production had moved to Pinewood Studios in England), Wynn collapsed from exhaustion and was rushed to a hospital. He was replaced by Jackie Cooper.
Keenan played Charles Picker Dobbs in a 1982 episode of The Love Boat. In 1983, he guest-starred in one of the last episodes of Taxi, and Quincy, M.E. In 1984. He also starred in the television film Call to Glory, which later became a weekly television series.
-- Keenan Wynn's Personal Life
Wynn was married to former stage actress Eve Lynn Abbott (1914–2004) until their divorce in 1947, whereupon Abbott married actor Van Johnson, one of the couple's closest friends.
Abbott contended that her marriage to Wynn was a happy one, but that her divorce and remarriage were engineered by MGM studio boss Louis B. Mayer, who refused to renew Wynn's contract unless Abbott divorced him and married Johnson, who was the subject of rumors that he was homosexual.
One son, the actor and writer Ned Wynn (born Edmond Keenan Wynn), wrote the autobiographical memoir We Will Always Live In Beverly Hills.
Keenan's other son, Tracy Keenan Wynn, is a screenwriter whose credits include The Longest Yard and The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman (both 1974).
His daughter Hilda was married to Paul Williams, and his granddaughter is the actress Jessica Keenan Wynn.
-- Keenan Wynn's Later Life and Death
Although his later years were marred by a severe case of tinnitus (a ringing in the ear that blocks out exterior sound), Keenan was able to continue acting until the very end. One of his last roles was as a regular on the short-lived television series The Last Precinct (1986).
In his later years, Wynn undertook a number of philanthropic endeavors, and supported several charity groups. He was a long-standing active member of the Westwood Sertoma service club, in West Los Angeles.
During his last years, Wynn suffered from pancreatic cancer, which caused his death at the age of 70 on the 14th. October 1986.
His ashes were interred in Glendale's Forest Lawn Memorial Park in The Great Mausoleum, Daffodil Corridor, Columbarium of the Dawn, in a niche alongside his father Ed Wynn, his daughter Emily (1960 – 1980), who died from lupus, and his aunt.

"My billing has always been "and",
or "with", or "including".
That's all right - let the stars take
the blame."
Rosemary Brown
Also born on that day, in London, was the British composer and spiritualist Rosemary Brown.
Rosemary claimed to have been able to channel the spirits of deceased composers such as Franz Liszt in order to produce new compositions.
Rosemary Isabel Brown (nee Dickeson) was an English composer, pianist and spirit medium who claimed that dead composers dictated new musical works to her.
Many other members of Brown's family were allegedly psychic, including her parents and grandparents.
She created a media sensation in the 1970's by presenting works purportedly dictated to her by Claude Debussy, Edvard Grieg, Franz Liszt, Franz Schubert, Frédéric Chopin, Igor Stravinsky, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johannes Brahms, Ludwig van Beethoven, Robert Schumann and Sergei Rachmaninoff.
Concert pianists Peter Katin, Philip Gammon, Howard Shelley, Cristina Ortiz and John Lill have all performed her music.
An LP spoofing her work, Rosemary Brown Psyches Again! was issued in 1982 by Enharmonic Records.
Brown was the subject of a BBC Radio 4 drama, The Lambeth Waltz by Daniel Thurman, first broadcast in 2017.
-- Rosemary Brown - The Early Years
Rosemary Isabel Dickeson was born in London. She claimed to have been only seven years old when she was first introduced to the world of dead musicians.
She reported that a spirit with long white hair and a flowing black cassock appeared and told her he that was a composer, and that he would make her a famous musician one day.
She claimed that she did not know who he was until, about ten years later, she saw a picture of Franz Liszt.
Rosemary worked for the Post Office from the age of 15. In 1948 she acquired a second-hand upright piano, and took some lessons for three years. In 1952 she married Charles Brown, a government scientist. They had a son and a daughter before her husband died in 1961.
-- Communication With Deceased Musicians
In 1964 Liszt supposedly renewed contact, and Brown began transcribing original compositions that she said were dictated to her by great musicians of the past.
Brown transcribed pieces from Johannes Brahms, Johann Sebastian Bach, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Franz Schubert, Edvard Grieg, Claude Debussy, Frédéric Chopin, Robert Schumann, Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Liszt.
These included:
-- A 40-page sonata that she attributed to Schubert
-- A Fantaisie-Impromptu in three movements that
she attributed to Chopin
-- 12 songs that she attributed to Schubert
-- 2 sonatas and 2 symphonies that she attributed to Beethoven.
Brown claimed that each composer had his own way of dictating to her:
-- Liszt controlled her hands for a few bars at a time, and then she wrote down the notes
-- Chopin told her the notes and pushed her hands on to the right keys
-- Schubert tried to sing his compositions
-- Beethoven and Bach simply dictated the notes.
Rosemary claimed that the composers spoke to her in English.
-- Rosemary Brown's Critical Reception
Brown's claims about spirit communication were disputed by sceptics. However, this opinion was not universal - there were a number of musicians and musicologists who supported her claims.
Humphrey Searle, who was an authority on Liszt, wrote in his autobiography Quadrille with a Raven, referring to Grubelei, a piece inspired by Liszt:
'It is certainly in keeping with Liszt's
experimental style, being mostly
written in single notes in each hand;
it is highly chromatic, and one hand
is written in 5/4 time against 3/2 in
the other.
The latter is not a thing that Liszt
ever did as far as I know, but it is
the sort of thing he might have done
as I said in my broadcast, which was
reproduced on this record sleeve
without my knowledge!
Since then Fiona and I have got to
know Rosemary well, and believe her
to be perfectly genuine. Even if the
pieces dictated to her by dead
composers are not masterpieces -
although some of them are very nice
works - she has had no technical
training in composition, and could not
possibly produce pastiches like, say,
those by Joseph Cooper in his TV
programme "Face the Music"."
Professor Ian Parrott was also a supporter, and wrote Rosemary Brown's obituary for the Guardian:
"Grübelei, partly dictated under the watchful
gaze of BBC reporter Peter Dorling and a
television studio crew, is undoubtedly a most
spectacular and unusual piece.
It has strong harmonies, cross-rhythms and
occasional instructions in French - a point
conferring authenticity, but difficult to fake."
The composer and Liszt specialist Humphrey Searle said:
"We must be grateful to Mrs Brown
for making it available to us."
After studying her compositions, many musicologists and psychologists came to the conclusion they were the work of Brown's own subconscious.
Leonard Zusne and Warren H. Jones in their book Anomalistic Psychology: A Study of Magical Thinking (1989) noted that:
"Brown wrote hundreds of pieces of music
dictated by the various composers. They
were passable works, entirely in the style
of these composers, but appeared to be
simply reworkings of existing pieces."
Professor of psychology John Sloboda wrote that:
"Brown's music offers the most convincing
case of unconscious composition on a large
scale."
Psychologist Robert Kastenbaum analysed Brown's music compositions and came to doubt that they were dictated to Brown by spirits of well known composers. According to Kastenbaum:
"There are no striking themes, complex structures,
depths of feelings, or harmonic, tonal, or rhythmic
innovations.
During their days on earth all the composers not
only created distinguished music but also contributed
to the development of compositions for the keyboard.
One of the characteristics that made each of them so
remarkable was their unpredictability.
Their next composition might well open a new domain
in musical sensitivity or technique.
Alas, they have now all fallen into desuetude. Nothing
new shows up to enrich their post-mortem compositions,
and nothing surprises, except perhaps the lack of
surprises.
Kastenbaum suggested the composers were secondary personalities of Brown herself.
PhD student Erico Bonfim studied a particular sonata by Schubert produced by Brown and said:
"I chose to investigate a sonata attributed to Schubert
because Schubert has a very special and particular
way of dealing with sonata form.
What is very impressive, in this sonata I analysed,
we can see all the most important characteristics of
Schubert's treatment of sonata form.
So this is certainly not a superficial imitation.
So when the sceptics claimed that she was making
just a superficial imitation, something maybe
improvisatory and so on, I don't believe they were
accurate – at least regarding some of her better
pieces."
Rosemary Brown maintained that she had never had any musical training aside from a few piano lessons, though paranormal investigator Harry Edwards says:
"A perusal of newspaper reports about Ms. Brown
elicits contradictory information about her alleged
lack of musical education.
Originally she stated that she had had no musical
training; later she was reported to have had only
a couple of years of music lessons, and recently
admitted to belonging to a musical household
and being a competent musician and pianist."
According to the psychologist Andrew Neher:
"Brown loved music as a child, there was a piano
in her home while she was growing up, her mother
played the piano, and she herself took piano
lessons.
All of this, together with the enhanced skill often
displayed in altered states of consciousness,
seems sufficient to account for her musical
compositions."
Musicologist Denis Matthews described her music as "charming pastiches," and suggested that she was re-creating compositions.
Similarly Alan Rich, music critic of New York magazine, having heard a privately issued record of Brown's piano pieces, concluded that they were just sub-standard re-workings of some of their purported composers' better-known compositions.
