Stephen Travers has lived two lives. His first was as a young bass player, immersed in music, friendship, and the thrill of gigs on the road with The Miami Showband. But on July 31, 1975, that life shattered on the A1 road at Buskhill in County Down when a Loyalist gang ambushed the band, murdering three of his friends in an attack that would become one of the darkest moments of The Troubles. In the quiet aftermath, in a nearby field, Stephen awoke to his second lifeas a survivor. This second life led him down unexpected paths: as an author, composer, producer, and international speaker on peace and reconciliation. Over decades, he worked to support other survivors, challenge suspected state collusion, and seek justice in a landmark case against the British Ministry of Defence. Yet, despite these achievements, Stephen found himself drawn back to that field, revisiting the young man he had been moments before the massacresearching for closure, a reunion with his former self. Now, fifty years later, he has written The Bass Player, a love letter and eulogy for that first life. This book is both a deeply personal reckoning and a song for all those silenced by conflict, offering a path toward healing and, finally, peace.

Virginia Ginnie Joy is twenty-seven and desperate to make some bold changes to her mundane life of disappointed relationships with sexually ineffective men, a safe but boring job and an uneventful social life. Her solution is to place an advertisement in the local newspaper for women who would like to become part of an all-female rugby team.To her surprise she gets thirty-two replies. During the interviews Ginnie realises that she has tapped into a sexually diverse and sassy wellspring of the local sisterhood who all want something different in their lives, and rolling around in the Wiltshire mud in pursuit of the oval-shaped ball fits the bill. The Furious Fannies team are born.As the they begin to train, play, and bond it quickly becomes apparent that its not only the men who swear, abuse, fight, bite and smash their opponents in pursuit of victory, the ladies can more than hold their own here as well with the added and hugely humorous wit of Heidi Prager. She is their overly posh lock, enforcer and team character who just loves to wind up their opponents with abusive, humorous comments and dirty play. Since Heidi joined the squad she has, as with some of the others, swopped a rootless existence for one of belonging to a diverse, sassy family of female souls with joy and laughter in each others company as they train and play rugby. The Fannies sexually diverse and competitive bandinage and will to win has collectively become their sporting home.With their own ground secured and after a couple of local warm-up games under their former alcoholic but experienced female coach, the Furious Fannies play their first season in a competitive but minor South Western league. Each game is an explicit and explosive example of rough female rugby that includes rubbish with occasional flashes of brilliance, see-sawing results, and embryonic sapphic and heterosexual relationships - off and on the pitch - as they bond and fight for their place in the league.Wiltshire is a county of ancient mysteries and downland miracles and on the pitch some of these begin to show. Off-pitch a burgeoning and unusual relationship develops between Ginnie and a much older but clever, powerful, and rich man as she becomes the standout player in the team.As The Furious Fannies set out to take on other equally competitive female teams in the pursuit of mud-splattered and explicit-strewn rugby union glory, and Ginnies relationship with the rich man improves, be prepared to support them and become an avid fan.

Kevin Smiths prose is by turns hilarious and incisive, blending satire with a genuine exploration of aging, masculinity, and the slow erosion of certainty. This is a story about dodging bullets, literal and metaphorical, and the painful comedy of lifes second half. In the end, Fentons true struggle is less about money or status than finding relevance and peace as the clock runs down.

A parliamentary by-election happens when a seat in the House of Commons becomes vacant between general elections, whether because the sitting MP dies, resigns, goes bankrupt, is convicted of a crime or is subject to a recall petition. By-elections can often appear to break the mould of British politics, signify the seemingly terminal decline of a particular political party or indicate the end of a premiership. Some take on iconic status or attract celebrity candidates and are remembered several decades after they take place. Others quickly disappear into the depths of our memories. As these pages will testify, however, theres rarely a dull contest.In this latest anthology, Iain Dale picks the most consequential by-elections of the modern era and presents a series of thoroughly researched and absorbing essays by some of our finest political writers, including Sir Vernon Bogdanor, Sir John Curtice, Simon Heffer, Julia Langdon, Lord Lexden, Andrew Marr, Tim Shipman and many others.This remarkable book uncovers unique stories of political tragedy, triumph, success and failure, set against the backdrop of some of the most dramatic moments in British parliamentary history.

What a wonderful book. Wolves through a prism of love, understanding and fascination. Derek Gow, author and ecologistWolves have been hunted to extinction in many countries, clung on in isolated populations near human communities and thrived in remote wilderness: theirs is a story of adaption and survival that is not yet finished.Once prevalent in Britain, the wolf has been much maligned and persecuted, but it has also been missed, and the return of the wolf in this compendium of tales mirrors the aspiration to reintroduce this ancient species to Britains recovering wild places.The wolf has wended its way into our collective imagination through traditional narratives around the world. Known as shapeshifter, this animal has weaved itself into our folklore for centuries; from the compelling protagonist and agent of change to the wily trickster and persecutor, and today as a totem of hope for the rewilding movement.Storyteller and outdoorsman Chris Salisbury ensures the legacy of this beloved creature lives on in an unforgettable collection of wolfish tales to tell out loud.
