Betwixt! The musical
Betwixt! is the brand new musical comedy with book, music and lyrics by Ian McFarlane. Betwixt! tells the story of fantasy novelist Bailey Howard and his flamboyant new roomate Cooper Fitzgerald, who are magically transported to the world of the Taravatania. Their arrival fulfills the ancient prophecy that the oppressed land and its kidnapped Prince Haydn will be rescued by a conquering hero and a great queen. Setting off on their journey Bailey and Cooper encounter a host of curious characters, from the seductive Nymph Queen to a deranged theatrical troupe, the evil Languidere and a singing disembodied head. Alternating between Bailey’s fantasy adventures and the real world he has left behind, Betwixt! is a witty musical romp, set to a richly comic score that is sure to engage and enthrall.

Synopsis
ACT ONE

Bailey Howard sits alone in his apartment trying to finish his fantasy novel (THE MOMENT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR) when the sudden arrival of flamboyant actor Cooper Fitzgerald (HOW DO YOU KNOW TILL YOU’VE TRIED ME? WHICH YOU HAVEN’T AND YOU SHOULD) propels them both into the strange and amazing world of the In-Between – an amazing space which lies between the real world and the supernatural world. Margo the receptionist tells them that dark times have fallen upon the land of Taravatania (THE TARAVATANIANS PREDICAMENT) and the Taravatanians need Bailey and Cooper’s help in rescuing Prince Haydn, fiancée of their crown Princess, Princess Ariella, who has been kidnapped by evil the enchantress Langwidere just days before the royal wedding, and switched over with his real world counterpart, Haydn Prince, star of daytime TV.

As Bailey and Cooper set off into the forest on their quest (EYES OF A CHILD), they meet Garbo, the loud and proud owner of a theatre troupe including Joan the Mute and Miranda, the singing disembodied head. (FABULOUS MAN) Despite Cooper’s protestations, Bailey decides to rescue Miranda and when Bailey reveals to Cooper in Langiwdere’s Truth Field that he would rather be with Miranda than Cooper, Cooper returns to the palace to give up on the quest and go home to the real world. Bailey wanders into the dangerous Eastern stretch of the forest where he set upon by the Nymph Queen who seduces him and takes him prisoner. (BUMP AND GRIND)

ACT TWO

Cooper furious with Bailey arrives back in the In-Between, where Margo warns him of the dangers of the Eastern stretch of the forest. Despite his better judgment, Cooper realizes he cares for Bailey and sets off to save his friend. Outside Haydn Princes Mansion in the real world, excitable newspaper reporter April McScoup is reporting on Haydn Prince’s disappearance. (THE PAPARAZZI RAG)

Cooper arrives in the Nymphs Grove (REPRISE: BUMP AND GRIND) and rescues Bailey, who, along with Haydn Prince, is released from the spell they have been under. Bailey and Miranda realize they are in love and when he kisses her she is restored to her human form. (I GOT NO BODY BUT YOU/ STRANGE SORT OF LOVE SONG) Joan arrives with news that Langwidere is hiding Prince Haydn in the real world inside Haydn Prince’s house surrounded by an army of reporters. Just as they are about to set off into the real world and end their drama, the Taravatanian government arrive and reveal to that when Langwidere is caught she will be forced to perform a spell to reverse time. Cooper realises that this will mean he never meets Bailey, and Miranda will be stuck in Garbo’s theatre troupe forever. Bailey and Cooper decide to try to stop Langwidere first. (REPRISE: EYES OF CHILD) Bailey thinks of a plan to distract the press outside Haydn Prince’s mansion. (REPRISE: FABULOUS PLAN)

Inside Haydn Prince’s House, Langwidere’s servant Marasmus arrives to give Prince Haydn the medicine that suppresses his memory. (PRINCE HAYDN’S VISION) Miranda and Cooper distract the press (LAMENT OF A NUMBER ONE FAN) so that Bailey can sneak into the house, where he battles with Langwidere defeating her and setting Prince Haydn free. (EVERY STORY NEEDS A VILLAIN) Six months later, Bailey is at his first book launch. He reads to his fans a passage from his new book – a fantasy novel about a Prince and Princess, an evil enchantress and two friends who go on an incredible journey to save an enchanted kingdom. (REPRISE: EYES OF A CHILD)

John Simmons (clothing manufacturer)
John Simmons (October 30, 1796 – August 29, 1870) was a pioneer in clothing manufacturing and the founder of Simmons College, a liberal arts women’s college in Boston, Massachusetts.

He was born in Little Compton, Rhode Island and grew up on a family farm. As a teenager, he traveled to Boston to join his elder brother, who had become a tailor. Working as a tailor, John Simmons noticed that many customers required clothing in similar sizes, and he struck upon the idea of making up clothes in common sizes in advance. He was thus an innovator in making ready-to-wear clothing in standard sizes.

By the end of the American Civil War, he had become the country’s largest clothing manufacturer. With the profits from his clothing business, he became a real estate investor and eventually owned much of the Financial District in Boston.

When Simmons died in 1870, his will provided for his estate to "found and endow an institution to be called Simmons Female College, for the purpose of teaching medicine, music, drawing, designing, telegraphy, and other branches of art, science, and industry best calculated to enable the scholars to acquire an independent livelihood." The founding of this institution was delayed by the Great Boston Fire of 1872, which destroyed most of his properties. The rebuilding took many years, and it was only in 1899 that the institution was finally established. Today it is known as Simmons College.

Radio Asian Fever 107.3fm
Radio Asian Fever is a community radio station working for South Asian communities in Leeds, West Yorkshire. The station serves all South Asian communities in the city, combating under-representation and exclusion from mainstream media. The station is not religious; it works across the cultures, faith groups and their many denominations. It aims to bring the whole community together and has notable achievements in fostering cooperation between groups across the city. Radio Asian Fever has been very successful in engaging South Asian communities in Leeds. It delivers programmes in English as well as in Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali, Kashmiri and Mirpuri. Its talk shows, competitions and phone-ins attract large audiences. The live shows broadcast on-air and through the internet during the 7/7 attack in London in 2005 and the Harehills riots in 2001 attracted a particularly strong audience response. Talk-ins with MP's such as Shahid Malik and representatives from the police attracted so many calls and personal visits to the station that volunteer staff were hard-pressed to keep pace. Mails to the station were also received from live web listeners in Pakistan, India, New Zealand, Russia, Singapore, Canada, Norway, Austria and Germany.

As well as working for its audiences, the station recruits and trains volunteers in the use of broadcasting equipment, IT and vocals. It supports these volunteers (through training, mentoring and supervision) to research, produce and present their own radio shows. Programming ‘by the community – for the community' is a core value of the station.

The station targets a South Asian audience but involves and interacts with wider communities, faiths and cultures. As well as providing all-round light family entertainment, it sets out to develop and promote activities that facilitate community cohesion and positive interaction. It promotes equal access to amenities, services and service providers through its broadcasts and other activities. It gives voice to local communities to highlight and air local issues relevant not only to the South Asian Community, but also Employment and Training Opportunities, Education, Crime reduction / prevention, Housing, Health and Benefits etc. Organisations such as the police, Fire Service, PCT, Employment service and local FE Colleges testify to the stations ability to draw in new audiences and want to continue to work in partnership to broaden access to their services. Radio Asian Fever (RAF) is broadcasting under a full-time five years Community Radio License awarded by OFCOM from March 2007, delivering 16 hours of live broadcast and 8 hours of recorded programming every day of the year. Asian Fever aims to: - Develop and produce informative, educational and entertaining programmes that are pertinent to the needs of the community. Asian Fever will be produced and delivered by the community for the community in the various community languages and English. The station will work in partnership with mainstream service providers including voluntary / community groups and organisations in its programming. - Be the platform for local communities to air their views and concerns, to enable them to access and take up services effectively. - Enable service providers and wider communities to interact and participate with all South Asian communities in the city. - Provide work placement and volunteering opportunities for all, including Training Opportunities (a minimum target of 25% participation by women is in place). - Positively involve disadvantaged / disengaged young people in radio through training and volunteering opportunities, providing them with the skills and confidence to broadcast and to interact with the community and decision-makers. - Act as a springboard for local talent of all ages, (singers, bands, comedians and poets) as well as showcase international artists for local audiences.

Radio Asian Fever has been broadcasting live (via 28 days Restricted Service Licences) since 1999. The station was recently awarded a permanent license by OFCOM in recognition of the quality of its programming and its proven ability to engage minority audiences.

Collections centre


A collections centre is a department within a bank who's responsibility it is to return delinquent accounts to order. A collections centre typically handles a customer's account after it falls seriously into arrears, but before the customer relationship is ended (i.e. before the customer becomes a debtor and before the case is passed to a recoveries department or to an external debt collection agency).

A bank passes an account to its collections centre for a number of reasons:


 * Collections centres can sustain a level of recoveries action (e.g. daily or weekly phone calls) that a bank branch may not be able to.


 * Collections centre staff are specifically trained to arrange repayment plans, assess affordability, and negotiate with customers.


 * Collections centre staff are trained to identify financial hardship and advise accordingly.

If a collections centre fails to return an account to order (i.e. bring it up to date with payments), it would usually be closed and passed to a recoveries department who may consider court action, property repossession, and other more serious action.

St Mary Bishophill Junior


It is generally agreed that this is the oldest church within the city walls. The site of the church was the colonia or civil quarter of the Roman garrison of Eboracum and elements of Roman stonework can be found in the Tower. There are also fragments of pre-Conquest stonework inside this church.
