Scrooge was a HUGE success!

We really enjoyed our trip to the De La Salle Theatre at St Peter’s School to see Scrooge - The Musical presented by the All Saints Dramatic Society. I particularly enjoyed the acting and singing of Tony Edwards, Ebenezer Scrooge himself. The performance was moving, very well acted and the singing was great by all of the cast. Hayden (who is 10) and I were definitely joining in - in full song - to “Thank You Very Much” at the end! Dorset Publications and The Christchurch Directory would really like to congratulate each and every actor, actress, child, props person, lighting technician, scenery creator and Director. You were ALL fantastic! Here are some fond memories for you on photo…
If you would like to become a Patron of All Saints Dramatic Society you will not be disappointed. Please contact Anne on 07548 100770. Stephen, Hayden and myself very much look forward to your next performance... All the best, Debbie Corney

Continuing to build on improvements At the Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch hospitals we have some outstanding services that have been recognised for their excellent clinical outcomes, innovation and patient care. For example did you know that: • Toshiba has chosen the Royal Bournemouth Hospital (RBH) as the first site for installation of its latest CT scanner – the first of its type in the world • we have among the lowest mortality rates for major colorectal surgery (statistically within the top 2% of trusts nationwide) • our Bournemouth Transplant Unit is JACIE accredited which means we are compliant with several hundred quality standards, all of which strive to ensure that a patient having a stem cell transplant has a safe procedure • in orthopaedics we are the third largest joint centre in the UK with some of the shortest lengths of stay, lowest rates of infection and highest levels of patient satisfaction • our cardiologists have the lowest levels of major adverse cardiac events in the country Many of you have also told us about your experiences and the great care you have received which is very reassuring for all of our staff. However, we know that we don’t give high quality care for every patient, every time, everywhere. This means providing safe and effective care and a good hospital experience. We are putting this right and building on the improvements we have already made. Assessing patients’ needs All patients on our wards now have their condition monitored via an electronic system, known as VitalPAC nurse. Using a handheld device, similar to an iPhone, nurses record and monitor a patient’s
VitalPAC in action on the wards
Christchurch
Patricia Ellis and her mum Virginia stopped by the Carers’ Café recently observations, for example blood pressure and heart rate. If a patient’s condition deteriorates the system automatically triggers a response from an appropriately skilled clinician, enabling a quicker clinical response, improving safety and enhancing patient care. It enables staff to prioritise treatment for the sickest patients. Listening and learning Listening to you and learning from your experiences is really important. This includes hearing from those who may find it difficult to have a voice. Every week we hold a Carers’ Café where carers and relatives can share their experiences with a qualified nurse over a coffee. We also have a range of support information and resources available for you. We are in the main atrium of the Royal Bournemouth Hospital from 1.30-2.30pm and look forward to seeing you. We have also invited local independent consumer watchdog Healthwatch Dorset to collect people’s views on our hospital and its services. Healthwatch will be at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital a couple of days a month for the next six months. The first two dates are Wednesday 5 March from 9am to 1pm and Friday 14 March from 12pm to 4pm when they’ll be talking to people in the main entrance area and main outpatients department. You can also share your feedback at www.healthwatchdorset.co.uk. You can read how we are continuing to improve in our weekly bulletin at www.rbch.nhs.uk.

Talking about Wildlife...
Barn Owls
Barns owls are amongst the most beautiful birds in Britain. Although some barn owls are brown in colour, the majority have golden and silver-grey feathers and white under-parts. They also have bright-white, heart-shaped faces, which resemble masks. Contrary to popular belief, these mystical birds do not hoot; instead, they hiss and emit long, unsettling shrieks. Barn owls consume small mammals (mice, voles and shrews), which they hunt from the air above. These striking birds are formidable hunters, but unfortunately the recent bad weather may have a negative impact on their ability to hunt: their wings are not waterproof, but designed with tiny serrations on their flight feathers so they are able to sweep through the air soundlessly. This unnerving ability has earned them the title ‘Ghost Owl.’ In addition, their sensitive hearing enables them to pinpoint the smallest sound whilst they are in flight. Ordinarily, barn owls hunt at dusk or dawn, although they will occasionally hunt during the day and at night (they do not require sight to hunt). Barn owls favour the open country. They will venture into the woodland if necessary, but prefer to hunt along the edges of woods. Barn owls breed when food is abundant. Ordinarily, they lay 4 to 7 eggs, 2-3 days apart.
Each egg will hatch after 31-32 days incubation. Females will sit on their young for an additional 3 weeks after they have hatched. During this time, their mate will bring food to the nest. Barn owls were once Britain’s most common owl species; however, the numbers have declined by up to 70% in recent years. This is due to the growing use of rodenticides, which are highly toxic. There are an estimated 4,000 pairs in the UK today, but there is concern that numbers are ever decreasing, and in recent years, the wet summers and cold winters have made conditions difficult for them. Dorset Wildlife Trust hosts a barn owl nest webcam, so you can see these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. For updates on our next nesting Barn owls, keep an eye on our website for more information: www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk Barn Owl in flight

Law Spot ...providing the answers
to your legal questions
Every month the solicitors and lawyers at Harold G Walker will be providing answers to your questions about the law. I am proposing to buy a house with my boyfriend. I have saved up more than him and those savings will form the larger part of the deposit. If the relationship should break down and we have to sell the property, is there anything that I can do to protect my share of the deposit? Yes there is. Your Solicitor will advise you that you should hold the equity in the property, being the money that you have in the property after paying off the Mortgage and meeting the costs of the sale, as Tenants in Common. Tenants in Common – an expression which is nothing to do with Landlord & Tenant – means that you have two separate shares in that equity. Your Solicitor would suggest that you make a Declaration of
I am considering filing for divorce and have been told that a 50/50 share of our family assets is now automatic, is this true?
Jennifer Miles Family Lawyer
The short answer to this is no! Where terms as to the division of the family assets cannot be agreed upon divorce then the Court will eventually have to make a decision. Accordingly, our advice to our clients as to what might be an appropriate division of
Trust in which you set out your intentions with regard to the proceeds in the event of a sale. For example, it could state that you each receive back your respective contributions and if you were to be paying the outgoings including the Mortgage equally, you could also share any uplift in the value of the property equally. Consideration can also be given as to what should happen in the event of the property going down in price. You should discuss this with your boyfriend at an early stage and reach an agreement. If it leads to an argument about money, you should give some thought as to whether the joint purchase Alan Fairley is actually a good idea! Conveyancing Solicitor the assets is governed by the likely outcome if a Judge had to make a decision in a final contested hearing. In practice, such final hearings are rare because of the cost and uncertainty as to the outcome. A Judge making a decision is guided by statute law and by previous decisions made by other Judges. An equal division of the assets may well be thought to be appropriate but equally there are very many cases where such a division would be completely inappropriate. A great range of factors come into play in legal issues such as these, and our daily involvement with such cases enables us to provide constructive and practical advice as to the appropriate outcome.

Vdub At The Pub Festival 2014
Friday 16th May – Sunday 18th May 2014 – Wimborne, Dorset 2014’s Vdub At The Pub Festival promises to be bigger and better than ever before, with a great new line-up of live music, acoustic artists and live DJ’s. We will of course be bringing back our ever popular Show & Shine competition, with this year’s classes including: Best Beatle, Best Type 2 Bay, Best Split, Best Type 25 Air & Water, Best Type 4 Van, Best Newie, Best Golf/Polo, Best Other, Best Paint, Best Rat and Best Overall, for our Volkswagen lovers to show off their wheels. Our line-up of music this year will see the return of Vdub veteran Si Genaro, (recently becoming a national personality after his quirky performance on BBC’s The VoiceUK) Saturday Sun, (in January being listed as one of The Guardian’s new band of the day) and The Crematics, (having previously supported the likes of Bastille and The Rizzle Kicks) just to name a few. As well as live music all weekend, we are kicking off the show this year with Friday night’s DJ night, where 2014 Vdub festivals goers can start their weekend by dancing the night away. The first Vdub at the Pub took place back in 2008 at Drusilla’s Inn in Dorset and was the first time the festivals creator John had combined engines, beer and live music. Dubbers came from far and wide to Drusilla’s Inn for 2 years before the numbers grew so high that it was time to find a larger show ground. In 2010 Vdub moved to the grounds of Wimborne Town Football Club, where it still runs today. Last year’s festival was a 3 day event, catering for everybody’s needs, with live music all weekend, DJ’s playing into the night and local Brewery Dorset Piddle Beer holding a mini beer Festival in the live music tent. We also had the Dorset Stormtroopers in attendance all weekend entertaining the crowds. We sold out our camping spaces a week before the festival and with the help of local land owners we managed to increase our camping facilities and open and second camping field for the second year running! The 2014 show will be our best yet. We hope to see you there!

A bit about Highcliffe Chiropody Clinic Highcliffe Chiropody Clinic has been treating feet for around 14 years now and offers a professional and friendly service to resolve any foot pain you may have or just keep them in tip top condition all year round. We treat all ages and can treat all foot conditions from thickened fungal nails, painful corns or burning callus to verucca, ingrowing toenails and general pain within the foot.
.
Our team comprises four Podiatrists, all fully trained to degree standard and all with NHS experience. To work within the NHS a Podiatrist must have completed a three year degree course in Podiatry and be a member of the Health and Care Professions Council.
WHATS AFOOT? Our feet contain 26 bones, 33 joints, more than 100 tendons, muscles, and ligaments, and a whopping 250,000 sweat glands..that’s per foot! That’s a huge amount in a very small package, but then again our feet cope with the very important task of supporting and moving the entire body. As the saying goes ‘if your feet hurt it shows in your face’, and it's hard to concentrate on anything when they do. However, they're a remarkable piece of engineering, carrying us an average 115,000 miles in a lifetime, around 4 times round the earth. It’s no wonder they can be susceptible to injury — from everyday calluses and corns to more serious problems like diabetic neuropathy.
OUR TEAM Our four Podiatrists are Helen Sheppard, Angela Prosser, Bryan Headwards and our newest member Stephanie Duff. Our friendly reception team deal with all enquiries and bookings, we are open 8.30 til 5 Monday to Saturday so are always read to take your call or answer any queries. We are always happy advise over the phone as to the best way forward with a problem.

Females walk around 3 miles more per day than a man!! But 9 out of 10 women wear shoes that are too small for them, this maybe explains why approximately 70% of our patients are female! This is how feet look in Highcliffe...!!
AN AVERAGE DAY IN CLINIC We are very lucky in the clinic in that the majority of our patients are ‘regulars’ and have been coming to see us for a number of years. Seeing people on a regular basis usually involves a bit of a catch up whilst setting down to the serious business of making their feet feel like they’re floating on air. On a normal day we usually see around 20 people so the clinics very busy with lots of chatter. Roughly speaking about 75% come in for routine maintenance! That’s nails cut and tidied and thinned down if necessary, hard skin removed and corns removed, heels sanded and cream rubbed in. Another couple of people might come in to have veruccae treated, one poor person with a painful looking ingrowing nail, someone with painful
knees who’s been advised to see us as it might be to do with their feet, two people for a redress on healing wounds, one of whom has diabetes, someone worried about the look of their nails and someone with a splinter in their foot. Phew! There really is plenty of variety and we are fully equipped and trained to deal with it all. We also have an Osteopath who works in the clinic on a Saturday morning.
WHY HIGHCLIFFE? We love Highcliffe, the parkings easy (and cheap, free between 1 and 3), the people are friendly and everything is so convenient and within walking distance. We particularly liked the easy access to the clinic from Wortley Road car park, literally a 30 second amble away. It’s also a few minutes from the cliff top so on a lovely sunny day we grab our sarnies and munch away staring out to sea, very therapeutic. We hope to see you there!

Tastes so good... TOMATO REVITALISING SMOOTHIE
Revitalise yourself with a delicious, fresh tasting, peppery tomato smoothie. This quick and easy smoothie packs a punch both in flavor and also nutritionally. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, the nutrient that gives tomatoes their red colour, the benefits of which are well documented for protecting cardiovascular health and also for being anti-carcinogenic. Tomato based lycopene, combined with a small amount of fat in the yogurt increases these health benefits according to much research conducted in the last decade. Enjoy!
Ingredients: 1 tbsp fresh basil leaves 12 cherry tomatoes 2 tbsp natural yogurt or crème fraiche A few turns of freshly ground pepper 1 tsp lime juice 2 tbsp water or apple juice.
Equipment: Blender or food processor Method: Place all ingredients in the blender or processor and whizz until completely combined and smooth. Pour into a beautiful glass and garnish with basil leaves. Diane Johnson
Buy Local! I was recently talking to a local shop owner and we got onto the subject of High Street shopping and how much harder it is these days for local shops. Robert has taken to buying local butcher’s meat and generally buying much more from local trades and shops. Internet shopping can seem easier. It can appear that you can shop from your own home, avoid the rain and stay warm and dry. However we lose the pleasure of meetings others, talking to another, having a real conversation. What a shame. Is there any wonder that we can sometimes feel a bit lonely or isolated when we don’t (if we are physically able) make the effort to go out and see people? Also, there is a grave risk with internet shopping that the item is broken when it arrives. It may not fit or just not look anything like it did in the picture, once you try the item on yourself. There is then the hassle of returning the item, even if
19 the cost is covered by the company. Now you have to wait another week to get what you wanted, or have to start again, to actually fine what you were looking for in the first place. Personally I am all for the old fashioned go and look, see what you want, try it, have a good conversation about the weather, and then buy. There is a time and place for internet shopping and busy, more impersonal supermarkets, but don’t forget about your local shops. They need you… and we need them. It is true that if all local residents spent just £5 a week in a local shop, this would make a massive difference and could keep our local economy alive. My motto is - Have fun speaking to your local shop owners! Debbie Corney

“I was recommended Declynd Browne (D Browne Plastering) after I’d had such a poor plastering job carried out by a previous plasterer appointed by my builder. Declynd was excellent. He was very competitive with his price, reliable and efficient. His workmanship and standard of finish was to a very high specification and he left the job after a thorough clean up. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone. In fact I did, to my neighbour who was also very complimentary about his workmanship.” Dr J Bradford
Christchurch property market report
21
A landlord with a small property portfolio came into our office on Fountain Way (near Waitrose) last week. He in lives in Highcliffe, near the golf course Jeremy Clarke and has properties in both Christchurch and Barton on Sea. He wanted to ask my opinion on the property markets in both towns and where he should purchase his next Buy to let property. Looking at Barton on Sea, the average property price can be an impressive £355,600 and the average rent is equally high at £882 per month. In Christchurch, an average property is £317,800 and the average rent is only £852 per month. The annual yield in Barton on Sea could be only 2.9% per year, compared to Christchurch where he could achieve an annual yield of nearer 3.2%. However, investing in property is not just about yield. One must also consider the increase in value of the property. Quite interestingly, property values over the last two years in Barton on Sea have risen by 5.4% whilst in Christchurch, in the same period, they rose by an impressive 8.3% (all of that being in 2013 as property values were stagnant throughout 2012 in Christchurch). However, if you look more medium term, property values since 2009 in Christchurch have risen 15.1% whilst Barton on Sea have fared slightly better at 16.3%. It just goes to show how different areas change on a year by year basis. Therefore, I would say both towns can be a good area for an investment property, but it is a decision that shouldn’t be taken lightly. These are only averages, so the yields for 2 bedroom apartments in some areas of Christchurch can be 4.5% to 4.7% per year, so adding the capital growth, existing landlords have seen a double digit return in 2013, better than the Building Society! Over the last few months, many first time landlords have contacted me for my thoughts and opinions on what (and what not) to buy for their first time buy to let investment. As I don’t sell property I can give an objective opinion on the whole of the Christchurch, Highcliffe and Barton on Sea property markets. Some want high yields, some want no hassle, some good capital growth, some don’t know what they want! I don’t charge for my advice because if I offer you the best opinion and we build a relationship, then you might (and there is no obligation or expectation to this) just use me to manage those properties and so I have plenty of time to earn money & build a good working relationship with you by looking after your buy to let property for years to come; a property that we jointly decided met your requirements for the investment because that is what it is, an investment! So, feel free to pop into our office near Waitrose for a chat about the property market in the area. Jeremy Clarke Belvoir Photo: Richard Lock 01202 588920

A smoke alarm without batteries is ‘a useless piece of plastic’ That is the message from Group Manager Karen Adams, Head of Prevention at Dorset Fire and Rescue Service. Karen leads a team of firefighters and officers, who are taking DFRS’s safety message out into the community, with a particular focus on educating vulnerable and hard to reach groups. When someone dies in a fi re, it is always upsetting. At Dorset Fire and Rescue Service, our aim is to reduce all preventable fire deaths to zero. We want to see every home in Dorset with a working smoke alarm and that means testing your smoke alarms every week! With the clock change fast approaching, when you go around your home changing the time on all your clocks, take the time to test your smoke alarms too! Karen said: “We provide a FREE home safety check service. This means fi refi ghters and DFRS staff visit residents in their homes and if appropriate, fit or replace smoke alarms, advise on the use of candles, unattended cooking, electric blankets, overloading sockets, chimneys, low energy light bulbs, escape plans and much more. This is all free of charge with the aim of encouraging people to think about fire safety in the home.” She added: “People need to consider their night-time routine – close doors,
keep an escape route clear, and check they know where the door key is so they can let themselves out. Smoke alarms should be tested once a week to make sure they are still working and in good condition. A smoke alarm without a battery is useless piece of plastic.” To request a Free Home Safety Check for you, or someone who may be vulnerable and would benefit from a visit, please get their permission and contact us FREE on 0800 038 2323 or use the online form found online at www.dorsetfire.gov.uk. Just fill out the form with your name and address details and click ‘submit’. Our PinPoint technology will analyse whether or not we can make your home safer and you will either receive a FREE Home Safety Check or Home Safety Information Pack, containing a leaflet on safety and a checklist for the home.

Adventures of Nellie
The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Publications Camper Van Wow, what a mixture of weather we have had these last few months! Nellie took us all the way to Hull to see my family and we had 7 hours of solid rain getting there. Poor Nellie, she looked pretty drowned by the time we arrived. In fact a few days before we left, a shop owner pointed out that Nellie was “illegal!” Astonished, I asked “Why?”… He was right, Nellie was so dirty with all the spray, mud and debris off the roads, that you couldn’t see her number plate. Well I am pleased to say that she has had a wash and there should be NO policeman knocking on our door! Anyway, the journey back from Hull was far more pleasant and I just had to show you our panorama view of Nellie under the magnificent Humber Bridge. Back to ‘sunny’ Dorset and last weekend we went on a Geo Cache. If you have never done a Geo Cache before and like walking, exploring sights you may not have seen previously,
I highly recommend it. It is free! All you need to do is go online to www. geocaching.com. It is a “real world treasure hunt” and there are literally hundreds of walks with a purpose…to find the hidden “treasure”. The hidden treasure is actually a box of odds and ends that walkers have added, which you can take and replace with some thing else. There is often a list of all the ‘geo cachers’ who have done the same hunt which you can add your details to. The way you find the hidden treasure is by use of a GPS device which you can buy, or indeed find an app on your phone. Once you have printed out the Geo Cache that you want to do, there are lots of clues which you use to discover the coordinates and thus find the trail to the treasure. It is ideal for youngsters who would otherwise complain about a ‘boring old walk’ and basically make your life a misery whilst you try and enjoy the fresh country or
25 25 said it was the middle of February and I hadn’t thought of that. Following the coordinates from the clues given, the Geo Cache took us over the fields with three wonderful Shire horses (not to be messed with, I could see…) and great views across the River Stour and the Priory at Christchurch. We would never have taken this route, or discovered it at all without having looked on line for a Geo Cache. A couple of the clues were a little tricky but we found the treasure! The tree was lying in a pool of water and Hayden and Stephen had fun doing ‘a tight rope walk’ to get to the buried treasure box. Victory! The first clue... seaside air and the views. Everyone wins! It is exciting, it can be competitive, and it gets you outside. Saturday was a beautiful day and Nellie chose to take us to Hengistbury Head. The Geo Cache took us along the river behind the golf course. Protected here from the wind, it really was very warm. Hayden, knowing we were near the sea and being a keen swimmer himself, announced disappointedly, “Oh Mum, you didn’t bring the swimmers!” I laughed and
The ‘tightrope walk’ - treasure found!
Christchurch
Finder’s reward We followed the trail back past the golf course, had a much appreciated and rather large ice cream reward, a cup of coffee in Nellie and a final brisk walk along the wonderful coastline. Once we were back on the cliff top with a very cold sea breeze, though a gorgeously bright day, I think Hayden forgot about the “swimmers”! A really pleasant day was had by all and we do recommend trying a geocache. Where will Nellie go next…? By Debbie Corney whereisnellie

Kids get more chances to cook in Christchurch Food & Wine Festival’s Kids’ Kitchen Following the success of the Kids’ Kitchen at Christchurch Food & Wine Festival in recent years, this year’s event will include more workshops at two venues. Four Kids’ Kitchen workshops will be taking place at The Priory School in Wick Lane on the same days as the Festival Market – Saturday 10 May and Sunday 11 May - with a further two at The Kings Arms Hotel in Castle Street. All six sessions have been sponsored by the Rotary Club of Christchurch and Waitrose, Christchurch. This year’s Kids Kitchen will feature workshops for youngsters aged three to 16 years old. Little Munchkins Cookery Parties for three to five year olds will take place twice each day giving the very youngest a chance to make fruity loaves and pizzas. Six to ten year olds can join Lesley’s Little Chefs to make their own soup and bread rolls while seven to 12 year olds can cook their own feast of Chinese dishes. The final workshop at The Priory School, for nine to 14 year olds, will show how to make a spicy Indian feast. At The Kings Arms nine to 16 year olds will learn how to use knives correctly as well as the secrets of making a delicious risotto and salad. The Food Festival’s patron, TV chef Lesley Waters will lead the second workshop at The Kings Arms which is for a parent or grandparent and a child from 7 to 14 who will learn how to come up with some Thai dishes. All workshops will last for an hour and a half and cost £5 per person each.
Mary Reader, president of the Food Festival and trustee of the Food Festival Education Trust, said: “We are extremely grateful to The Rotary Club and Waitrose for their support for these workshops which means we have been able to keep the cost of each session down and expand into two venues. I am confident that any young person taking part in these workshops will not only learn some valuable cookery skills but also have fun.” Tickets are now available online at www.regentcentre.co.uk or can be booked over the phone on 01202 499199 and at the Regent Centre box office in person.

BLITZ!
This year of 2014 marks many anniversaries connected to the two Great Wars. The 100th anniversary of World War I, the 75th anniversary of World War II and the 70th anniversary of the D-Day Landings. Milton Musical Society is focussing its 2014 season on a tribute to both wars with a production of BLITZ! in March and in November ‘Pack Up Your Troubles’ a Music Hall celebration of the songs and words that surrounded WWI. BLITZ! opened in London 8 May 1962 at the Adelphi Theatre, while Bart’s enormous West End success Oliver! was still running at the New Theatre. It ran for 568 performances, but never went to Broadway as New Yorkers could not share Londoners’ nostalgia for the period! Bart wrote the music and lyrics, and directed the original London production himself. At the time, it was the most expensive West End musical ever produced. BLITZ! is set in 1940 as the East End of London takes a terrible pounding from Hitler’s bombs. The story focuses on two families, the Jewish Blitzteins and the Cockney Lockes. Mrs. Blitztein and Alfie Locke have adjacent stalls on Petticoat Lane: she sells herring, he sells fruit; they do not like each other. Their children, Georgie Locke and Carol Blitztein, are in love with one another. They all fight their own particular battles with neighbours and authorities alike, through many situations, many humorous, some tragic, and eventually find their own individual peace. The show features many hit songs, including
Presented by Milton Musical Society The Day After Tomorrow and Mums and Dads and Who’s this Geezer Hitler. Many residents of Christchurch in Dorset, and surrounding areas, lived through these momentous events. The bombing of London and other cities really tested the spirit and resolve of British people and encapsulated their bravery and stoicism. These were difficult times, but despite it all every day life managed to continue. For many in the audience of this production it will be a nostalgic trip into a world of their past. Milton Musical Society is presenting the show at the Regent Centre, Christchurch between 26th and 29th March with a Saturday matinee

Faith Healer
It takes listening to precisely fi ve seconds of Paloma Faith’s comeback single to realise that you are already in the company of one of the best pop tracks that you are going to hear all year. By the time it gets to the chorus of Can’t Rely on You, with its defiant stomp and backing vocals from the songs’ creator, hit-maker-in-chief Pharrell Williams, it also becomes patently clear that Faith, reinvigorated and buoyant, is set to enjoy a bumper year. Can’t Rely on You is the lead track of her forthcoming third album A Perfect Contradiction, and her best yet: as equally upbeat and sassy as it is soulful, and with a positivity that’s impossible to resist. The inspiration, Faith says, came from not wanting to make a record as downbeat as its predecessor Fall to Grace, which documented failed relationships to mostly melancholy, ballad-like fare. “When I was touring the last album I got a bit bored of being upset,” Faith says. “I think sometimes when you write sad songs you write them in a moment when it’s like therapy, but then when you’re singing them 18 months later it’s like picking off a scab. This time I knew I needed to inject some hope. There’s some heartache, but it’s got a hopeful vibe to it. And I’ve returned to my soul roots, working with people I’ve admired for a long time.”
A Perfect Contradiction is an evocative title - where did that come from? “I mean perfect contradiction in terms of the last album, because that was melancholic, but also in everyday life. You can’t have real joy without real sadness. It extends to a conversation I had with Pharrell. He was asking me about myself and I said I feel an affinity with people who are a perfect mix of contradictions. And he said ‘do you think you are?’ and I said ‘yeah’ and then he told me I should call my album that. I went home and mulled it over; I decided it was a really good title, because it meant a lot of things. It’s to do with accepting difference within ourselves as well as other people and our experiences.” Faith worked with a host of names on A Perfect Contradiction (Raphael Saadiq, John Legend, Diane Warren) but it is inevitably the collaboration with Pharrell that is of most intrigue. “He approached me at a party to work
35 with me and we wrote a couple of songs together, and as we got to know each other through that time he said that he had this song that he’d written that he’d been sitting on for ages. He said he thought it would suit me, and did I want to hear it. I was like ‘of course’, and I loved it. It totally has my name on it. “Pharrell is very nice, humble, and so likeable. He works very hard and throws a lot away, because he only wants the best to come out.” He is certainly is a happy fellow, and the go-to man for a smash hit, isn’t he? “Yes, but you want to hear the ones that don’t make it, though!” Faith is arguably as well known for her sense of style than she is for her music, and her appearance is a vital component of the entire songstress/ fashion icon package. “For as long as I can remember I’ve had it drummed into me that presentation is important. My family is full of women who really make an effort. I’ve never been around people who just wear jeans and t-shirt. “In fact, the other day I was walking around Brick Lane with my mum, my aunt and my cousin. This girl came up and said ‘you four look like brilliantly dressed women; can I take a picture for
my art project?’ She later wrote to me on Twitter later to say ‘sorry, I had no idea it was you!’ It was so funny.” But getting stopped in the street was partly what made Faith head across the Atlantic to make A Perfect Contradiction. “I do get stopped a lot – it’s flattering but it’s difficult to detach yourself. Ultimately, I wanted to write an album that was down to earth and about real issues, and I didn’t feel that my life was conducive to that over here. It’s not a realistic lifestyle to have being stopped by people all the time; it doesn’t promote a realistic attitude of life. People can’t relate to it.” After A Perfect Contradiction hits the shops in March, Faith says she can’t wait to get on the road and reinterpret the new songs for a live audience. “We haven’t planned it yet but we’ll hopefully be touring towards the end of the year. I am looking forward to going out and touring it - it’s a musician’s album. My band love it; they can’t wait to show off, and nor can I!” Shaun Curran Paloma Faith’s new album A Perfect Contradiction is out March 10th, on RCA Records.
