Panto Time!!!

17 Dec 2011

by Kirsty Smallman

After two and a half hours of full-on laughter, first class panto entertainment – I am asking myself the question “why has it taken so long to pay my first visit to Shrewsbury’s Theatre Severn?” Aladdin – produced by Shropshire’s Paul Hendy and his wife Emily Wood under their company Evolution Productions – has this week become a “record-breaker” after […]

Shrewsbury Folk Festival 2011

31 Aug 2011

by Rhea Alton

After four days at the Shrewsbury Folk Festival at the West Mid Showground in Shrewsbury I am tired, a little achy, in much need of a long shower but very very happy. The whole event has been really wonderful, especially for me going as a family with a seven-month old – the first time we have camped with a baby […]

Day two at Shrewsbury Folk Festival

27 Aug 2011

by Rhea Alton

Well, day two has been cracking. We woke to sunshine and enjoyed a cuppa and bacon gaps outside the tent before having a stroll around the crafts tents and bookstalls then nipping into Shrewsbury for a camping cooker (ours turned out to be a gas lamp which wasn’t at all useful at boiling the kettle). We perused the real ale […]

Day one at Shrewsbury’s Folk Festival

27 Aug 2011

by Rhea Alton

It’s started to rain. But it’s all good. I am sat in my tent listening to some very talented people playing wonderful music. The sun has just gone down in spectacular style and I have had a great afternoon……and the evening is just getting going…… The Shrewsbury Folk Festival does so many things so well. They don’t let too many […]

Shrewsbury Folk Festival tune in

18 Aug 2011

by Rhea Alton

Summer is always a busy time for me as the press officer for a number of shows, events and the Shropshire County Showground, and the August Bank Holiday is no exception….although it is a little different. Rather than promoting the event in a bid to attract hundreds of visitors I am looking to get people to stay at home for […]

Modern Journalism

06 Jul 2011

by Rhea Alton

When I first saw a journalist sitting in a council meeting with a tiny laptop I was shocked. A computer is not the tool of a reporter, a hack, an investigator……it is, and always has been, a pen (or pencil should it be raining) and a pad/journal/jotter etc I knew times ‘were a changing’ but I didn’t want them to, […]

Crown Court

06 Jul 2011

by Rhea Alton

Covering a crown court is one of the really interesting aspects of the life of a local reporter. It is the place where you come face to face with murderers, rapists, abusers and many more, and watch as public justice unfolds. Covering a trial has its interesting – and dull – moments but for me, particularly this week, I have […]
