I recently went to see a new acoustic duo; Emily Statham of Markfield and Siobhan Mazzei of Ratby, perform at several locations like that of ‘The Bricklayers’ in Thornton and ‘The Queens Head’ in Markfield. Both of whom went to school at Groby Community College where I met them.
The duo performed a series of songs, with the crowd’s favourites being covers of ‘Valerie’ by Mark Ronson ft. Amy Winehouse, ‘Use Somebody’ by Kings Of Leon and ‘American Boy’ by Estelle. The duo really knows how to get the crowd going performing both modern and old school songs. I must admit that the buzz around the crowd is just amazing to see. More » More »
They are next to appear at 'The Donkey,' Welford Road, Leicester for an open mike night and ‘The Queens Head,’ Ashby Road, Markfield on the 22nd of August.
They’re an act that’s not to be missed this side of the summer!

Keeping warm and paying your heating bills can be a worry whether you own or rent your home. Many people are not aware that they may be eligible for grants or loans to help with this. Information and advice is available to residents of all types of property
Households which have to spend more than 10% of their income on fuel in order to keep their homes warm are classed as being in Fuel Poverty. Poorly insulated properties, the lack of efficient heating systems and the inability to afford to pay for heating, all contribute to ‘Fuel Poverty’ More »
Many owner/occupiers over 70 are entitled to FREE insulation.
You may also qualify if you are below this age and on means tested benefits
Insulation grants and/or discounts are often available to ALL
Grants of up to £2,500 and nil interest loans up to £20,000 are also available to owner/occupiers for:

NEW LEGAL ADVICE SERVICE FOR LEICESTERSHIRE
The Community Law Service (Leicester & County) is the new name for Leicester Money Advice and we have just started a new service across Leicestershire that will deliver legal advice services across five areas of law including Family and Matrimonial, Housing, Employment, Welfare Benefits and Debt.
We are delivering these services at venues across the county including Loughborough (New Springs Centre 2a Granby Street) Coalville (Agar Nook Community Centre), Hinckley (Westfield Community Centre), Barwell (SureStart Children’s Centre) and we hope to offer a further venue later in the year. Also, clients can be seen at the offices in Leicester provided they actually live in the county. Please telephone 0845 4130555 to make an appointment at any of our venues. More »
The service is funded by the Legal Services Commission and as such all clients will be assessed regarding their eligibility for legal aid.
The credit crunch and impending recession will undoubtedly touch most people’s lives in one way or another and is likely to lead to an increased number of people seeking advice services across a range of issues as a recession is not just about money. People will be incurring debts and need money advice; people may lose their jobs and seek advice on their employment rights; they may face the loss of their home due to failure to meet their payment obligations; they may need to enter the benefits system with no previous knowledge of welfare benefits and may be unsure of their entitlements; the wider implications of the recession can lead to family breakdowns, and people needing advice in this area too. We will be offering advice in all these areas of law to people across Leicestershire.
The Community Law Service has experienced solicitors and case workers.
Leicester Money Advice, the parent company for the Community Law Service (Leicester & County) was established in 1980 and has delivered debt advice in the city and county for almost 30 years.
