Your mum will sing with joy this Mother’s Day thanks to this perfect DVD gift…
Chris O’Dowd (Bridesmaids, TV’s Girls) stars in THE SAPPHIRES. Based on a true story this fun and feel-good comedy follows the dreams of four soul-sisters struggling to make it big. THE SAPPHIRES will be available to rent and own on DVD from the 4th March.

 

Talented sisters Gail, Cynthia and Julie, and their wayward cousin Kay, have killer voices and attitudes to match. Performing in a talent show contest they catch the attention of Dave Lovelace (O’Dowd), a down-on-his-luck Irish musician with a penchant for whisky and a passion for soul music.

 

It may not sound like a match made in heaven but Dave notices a sparkling talent in the girls and realises with a few changes they could be something special….they just need the right man to help them. Billing the band as the successors to ‘The Supremes’ Dave secures the girls their first real gig and flies them to Vietnam to sing for the troops.

 

As they embark on a hilarious journey of highs and lows, courage and commitment, friendship and family, they discover that all you need to succeed is a little heart….and a lot of soul.

The Affordable Art Fair Returns To Battersea

£1,950 at SD Gallery

The Affordable Art Fair returns to the Battersea Evolution building in Battersea Park from 7 – 10 March, and they are giving people a chance to Sleep Now, Buy Later…

– Art lovers given chance to sleep on decision before purchase –

In a consumer shopping first, one lucky visitor to the Affordable Art Fair this month will be given the opportunity to ‘sleep with’ their prospective art purchase in order to make a fresh and considered decision after a good night’s rest.

Fair organisers hope to put more first time buyers at ease with the one off concept which will be trialled with a single lucky winner at the Battersea Park event. The idea came as a result of research* which found that nearly half (47 per cent) of people found it helpful to sleep on a decision when making a purchase for the home.

Over half of Brits (51 per cent) admitted to taking up to 24 hours to make a decision when buying a piece of art.

The public can enter to win the chance to ‘sleep before they buy’ by tweeting the hashtag #sleeponit by no later than midday on Wednesday 6 March.

The lucky winner will be notified on Thursday 7 March and invited to attend the fair on the day of their choosing, select their prospective piece of art to sleep with for the night to allow them some time to relax and consider their chosen work.

To announce the initiative, the Affordable Art Fair has created an original image, inspired by a famous installation shown at the Tate, to demonstrate what the winner will experience.

Nicky Wheeler, Fair Director of the Affordable Art Fair Battersea said “We’ve had so many comments from visitors over the years who have found a piece of art they like but are reluctant to make such an important decision on the spot. Often customers fall in love with a piece at first sight but sometimes thinking time can help in making the right decision – one person will be given this chance at the Affordable Art Fair next week.”

The Affordable Art Fair is the UK’s friendliest and most welcoming art fair, well-loved for its informal and un-stuffy atmosphere. With over 100 galleries exhibiting art priced from £40 – £4,000, the fair runs at the Battersea Evolution building in Battersea Park from 7 – 10 March.

The festival will incorporate events from both the UK and Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT), and the European Poker Tour (EPT), to create a spectacular 11-day poker extravaganza.

Many players will have won their travel, accommodation and tournament buy-in online at PokerStars.com for as little as £1.10.

 

UK media personality and Team PokerStars Pro, Victoria Coren was the first female player to win an EPT event back in Season 3 when she won on home turf to take home the top prize of £500,000. She said “I’m very excited about my first visit to The Hippodrome Casino for the opening of PokerStars LIVE. PokerStars is without question the best online poker site, so I’m looking forward to seeing what they can do with a live card room! As for the London Poker Festival, I’m counting the days as if it was Christmas. Everyone will be flooding into London from around Britain and Ireland for the UKIPT, and from around the world for the EPT, and I love it when my home town becomes the international centre of poker action for that magical couple of weeks.”

 

The EPT is now in its 9th year, and has paid out in excess of £250 million in prize pools, and visited classically glamorous destinations such as Prague, Sanremo and Monaco.
