I didn't realise the section on the 'Roll Out the Barrel' DVD featuring the 'A WMC in Sheffield' wasn't subtitled (probably still worth purchasing). As far as I'm aware the film being shown on Sunday at the Showroom will contain subtitles, according to the Goethe Institut website, the copy of the film being shown in London tonight has subtitles, and I assume it will be the same copy shown in Sheffield. http://www.goethe.de/ins/gb/lon/en9698086v.htm

Many of the people featured in the film will be no longer with us, but it will be a great opportunity for relatives to try and spot them. As far as I'm aware the film has never been shown on British TV, and the copies floating around the internet are of dubious quality, so it will great to watch the film in all it's glory on a large screen.

I hope the screening goes well on Sunday. I think the film is a must see for anyone interested in WMCs or for students of documentary filmmaking. I'll certainly be putting the 'Roll out the Barrel' DVD on my Xmas list. ‘Give order! All round the room please’

I've looked on Amazon and 'Roll out The Barrel' is available on DVD from them. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Roll-Out-Barrel-British-2-DVD/dp/B007A0QTSA There's also a DVD box set available of his films, but I don't know if the films have English subtitles. http://www.amazon.de/Peter-Nestler-Poetischer-Provokateur-1962-2009/dp/3898483983 It would great if people who appeared in the film were at the screening. The discussion after the film with Ruth Cherrington should also be interesting, I've just been viewing her site Club Historians http://www.clubhistorians.co.uk/

Due to unforeseen circumstances Peter Nester will not be in attendance on Sunday the 11th of November, but the screening will still be going ahead. Ruth Cherrington, author of ‘Not Just Beer and Bingo – A Social History of Working Men’s Clubs’ will lead a Q&A session after the film. http://www.goethe.de/ins/gb/lon/en9500432v.htm

Here's another preview of composer Benjamin Till's 'A Symphony for Yorkshire'

From the book 'Potty, Fartwell & Knob' we have: Golden Balls - Baptised Aylsham, Norfolk, 26 September 1813. His son was also called Golden Balls. The book also has a section on the best Spoonerism names including: Joe Blobs, Fanny Cucker, Mary Hinge, Carrie Hunt, Betty Swall etc. Also when naming a child you need to take into consideration the effect the initials will have on the name, here are some more examples from 'Potty, Fartwell & Knob' - T.Cosy, B.Astard, D.Og, T,Time, B.Troot, R.Sitch, P.Freely, S.Trumpet, I.D.Card. Another minefield to consider; usually for women, is your future spouse's name. For instance if you're called Sarah would you marry and take the name of someone with the surname Lapper?

Why don't parents take more care when naming their offspring, perhaps writing the names down and assessing all the connotations? A good idea may be to ask friends and relatives before selecting the name, thus, saving their unfortunate child a lifetime of misery. On the other hand, it gives everyone else a good chuckle. We await the next - Theresa Green (yes they are), Hazel Knutt, Toe Knee Hand C**k, Roger Moore. There's a book entitled 'Potty Fartwell & Knob' by Russell Ash, that consists entirely of genuine names of British people e.g. Laurie Driver, Luke Warm, Rick Shaw, Eva Ready, Mike Robe, Lew Pole, Lee King, Page Turner etc.

Yes Pete, your son's a promising photographer, good quality pictures. Go on Section 60, give him the gig, and yes £50 is not going to break the bank surly. Some of my favourite snappers were from the 'good old days' NME i.e. Anton Corbijn, Kevin Cummins, Pennie Smith et al. Emma ,free pics may not necessarily mean bad pics, but it does mean you place no value on your work, and therefore, that they're not worth paying for .

Not being negative about the band's music, had a look a your site, great music and some stunning photos. http://section60.info/gigs.htm You mention that you spend a lot of money on publicity, therefore you are saying the printers have to be paid (they obviously won't work for free) and because you value their time and expertise you don't expect them to work for zilch. You expect to the gig at the Red House this Saturday to be a sell out, £5 x 100 = £500, allowing for your costs, you're still going to be making some money, plus any money you make on CD sales. Good luck Emma on your final year. Next year you may decide to continue with photography and maybe set up as a freelance, which means getting paid, so it will be quite annoying when people say we can't afford to pay you, could you work for free, if not don't worry we'll use a student from the local college.

Good idea SheffDancer I'll get in touch with Sheffield College regarding doing some work on my house, I'm sure the construction students will jump at the chance to practice their burgeoning skills, if you do a good job I could recommend you to other people that need free workers. Joking aside, come on lads if you all clubbed together a tenner each this would give the photographer £50, though still a paltry amount, this would be a gesture of good will. I'm sure you all spend more than £10 a week on beer and other sundries.

Hi, I'm looking for someone to do some plumbing and also some building work on my house, unfortunately I wouldn't be able to pay for the work, so ideally it would suit someone who enjoys working for free. If you're musicians you probably paid for your instruments , at the venue the bar staff will be paid , so why expect the photographer to work for nothing? Surely, you could raise some money to pay someone?

These are the prices you might expect to pay if you were a large business wanting some corporate shots, they're way overpriced for people wanting a few family portraits. There are plenty of local photographers, who charge less and produce excellent photos. My favourite local photographer is Chris Saunders, have a look at his sight, don't know what his prices are, or if he takes family type photos though. http://www.chrismsaunders.com/frame/portraitsframe.html

Just noticed this post has moved from Sheffield Discussions. It seems unclear what criteria are used to determine which forum the posts are suitable for, e.g. a post speculating, whether Jordan has visited Sheffield is kept in Sheffield Discussions, whilst this post, about someone who has recorded a song specifically about Sheffield, is regarded as an entertainment post. The only other song I can find that mentions Sheffield in the title, is by The Supernaturals and entitled 'Sheffield Song', which somehow manages not to mention anything about Sheffield in the song. Anyone know of any other songs about Sheffield, or featuring Sheffield in the title (excluding Richard Hawley's oeuvre)?

I’ve been listening to Amy Alison's song 'Sheffield Streets' on Youtube, and after a couple of hearings, it's really grown on me. Her voice; like Dylan or Lennon for instance, is one you either love or hate. I Googled her and discovered she's the daughter of Mose Alison, the highly esteemed jazz blues pianist, who has been described as the "the William Faulkner of Jazz". Mose Alison's music has influenced and been covered by many artists including The Rolling Stones, The Clash, Van Morrison and many others. Amy has so far released 7 albums including 2009's 'Sheffield Streets' and has duetted with Elvis Costello. Despite some people’s reservations, her vocal style makes a refreshing change from the anodyne vocals of the legions of ‘X Factor’ wannabes. She probably doesn’t visit Sheffield frequently, but her sojourn here has made sufficient impact, that she’s penned a song about Sheffield and even titled her album ‘Sheffield Streets’. Sheffield Streets The flat was cold so I would walk around I felt so old but how I loved the town! I walked so far up and down those hills I saw the moors I saw the mills I felt alone but oh, it was so sweet when I would walk down Sheffield streets The wind would blow it really chilled your bones a take-away a pint of Stones the steel gray sky buses whizzing by cathedral bells the brewery smells Glossop Road Spital Hill Castle Gate the Crucible Chapel Walk Division Street the Wicker and the old Leadmill I found a pub and curled up like a cat I wrote a song on a beer mat
