The mother of a girl killed under the wheels of a bus is campaigning for safer travel for school pupils. Lynne Chick has set up a social media campaign in the name of her daughter, Louise Gregson-Oldfield, to secure designated school buses with access to a seat and seat belt for every child rather than having to rely on overcrowded public transport. Lynne’s daughter Louise, 11, died after ending up under the wheels of a public bus she had traveled home from school on on March 19, 2001 at the junction of Mold Road and Howard Street in Connah’s Quay, near her family home. Miss Chick, of Hawarden, explained why she was establishing the campaign. She said: In the months after Louise died it emerged the bus she had travelled home on had been over crowded, with adults standing talking to the driver and there was also a mention her bag had got caught in the door or wheel causing her to be dragged under the bus she had just alighted from, There still remains a big question mark ove...

Renowned for an endless string of soulful yet socially aware hits …Forgotten Town, Ideal World, Born Again, Harvest for the World, Whats in a Word, Hooverville, Words, Father, The Bottle and many more The Christians enjoyed huge acclaim in the late 80s and early 90s both in the UK and Europe and often confused people with their band name (in fact just the brothers surname with absolutely no religious connotation!) “It was the best gig I’ve ever been to!” – Chris Evans  Still headed by enigmatic lead singer Garry Christian (who very much deserves the Daily Mirror’s description of him as having ‘one of the finest voices in pop) who has only gained in vocal stature (and wit) over the years! the band are enjoying a revival currently touring successfully in the UK and Europe. With a brand new album entitled ‘WE’ released Autumn 2015… the band have reflected on life issues (loss, breakups and just the struggles of life) on their soulful 10 track album. Enquiries ...

I've always found tattoo studio's very daunting, And not very welcoming places, which is how I come about being stuck with a dodgy home tattoo for so long!! My Sister recommended Crystal Skull Tattoo Studio  32A Station Road, Queensferry where she had recently had her tattoo done. Walking into the tattoo studio I instantly recognized the beautiful young lady with the bright pink hair who was sat behind the counter as Kate or Pinky as i called her!! Small world I thought as I asked "Ain't you the Lady who's hosting the Tattoo Convention at The Tiv in Buckley" looking surprised she replied "yes". A very small world indeed I had been helping promote Kate's Tattoo Convention via my Radio show on Radio Deeside so it was great to put a face to the name. We quickly got chatting, I was keen to know what the studio offered, Kate explained how the studio offers Lazer removal, body piercing, as well as tattoo's and aftercare advice. I'd ho...

Those who know me well will know my deep passion for good cake!! I call it a passion because I just love cake, but with good cake has to come amazing coffee. So when I was contacted by Richard Lavender who told me he had recently opened a coffee lounge in Queensferry. I was keen to check the place out. When I told Radio Deeside's main man Barry Dale about the visit he quickly pulled rank expressing how he had to come along and also check out the cake selection!! On arriving at Urban Coffee Lounge I quickly noticed how spotlessly clean the place was, everything neatly in its place. The smell of coffee hit me just as I reached the counter, I opted for the cappuccino, Barry, on the other hand, decided on a nice mug of tea with one eye closely on the cakes!!! There is a choice of seating area's within the coffee lounge as well as a seated area outside, The traditional table and chairs also lounge style chairs with coffee table or there is a bar style seated area with h...

Last November i was gutted i'd missed seeing From The Jam live at Tivoli Venue in Buckley, I had been determined there was no way i was going to miss seeing them this year on there return. A totally fab excuse to dig out my old scooter gear and relive my youth. I had been excited since the Tiv announced From The Jam would return this year. When November 26th arrived i was feeling like my Christmas had come early! Digging out my old faithful scooter jacket full of 80s rally patches i headed off to the Tivoli with my partner in crime Jan. A totally amazing atmosphere greeted us on arrival, that's not unusual at the Tiv to be honest. Heading straight to the bar we quickly grabbed Our drinks, by this time the place was filling up fast so we headed off to the VIP area in order to hit social media by storm!! The support act was by now on stage and trust me the crowd totally loved this young dude, Who i later found out goes by the name of Luke Gallagher , Luke is a si...
