In Cheltenham Boyzone dancer picture perfect business

2010-08-08T03:47:00.000-07:00

FORMER dancer Chris Dagnall says his business has been given a picture perfect start thanks to a council grant.
With Boyzone the 37 years old swapped touring for his photography studio in Cheltenham.
And even though he set up Revolve Studios at the height of the credit crunch he says the past 12 months have been as successful as he could have imagined.
He was able to start the firm using a £2,500 grant from Cheltenham Borough Council to help pay the bills.
The cash, which amounted to half of the first year's basic rent on his premises in Regents Street, was offered as part of the Business Pride scheme to encourage new firms.
"Without that money we simply wouldn't have survived the first year," said Chris, 37 of Prestbury.
In London he started out as a professional dancer working and later moved into event management, working for a modelling agency.
But it was only last year that he had the brainwave to set up a photographic studio, at the same time which offered clients a makeover.
He ploughed his own money into getting the business off the ground and decided on Cheltenham as the perfect place to target families, hen nights and children's parties.
In August the studios opened with 10 members of staff.
A year later and he has now got bookings into 2011 and employs 16 full time and 10 part time employees. He hopes to expand to Gloucester by Christmas and to Exeter within a year.
He said: "When the recession hit I thought it was the right time for me.
"A lot of the rental costs for premises in Cheltenham dropped and I was able to get a nice deal.
"There's a lot of homegrown talent in Cheltenham when it comes to make up artists, hairdressers and photography. We're helping to keep that talent in the town and stop people leaving for London."
Cheltenham Borough Council no longer offers the grants, which it has replaced with the Kick Start scheme, which offers training to people who set up business after April 1 this year.
Andrew North, chief executive of Cheltenham Borough Council, said: "The Business Pride commercial rental scheme was a fantastic idea from our economic development team and I am delighted to see it making such a positive impact upon the local community. This initiative again highlights Cheltenham Borough Council's commitment to helping fledgling businesses to grow and realise their potential during difficult circumstances.
"With the support that has been and continues to be available, Cheltenham has the established track record as being the place to come and start your enterprise."

"We just didn't know whether we could do it as a four-piece. We played three tracks live at the Royal Albert Hall a couple of weeks ago and the reception was just unbelievable. We all came off stage buzzing, knowing that we had the full support of the fans, and it all just suddenly felt so right. We can't wait to get back on the road together."

Boyzone after Stephen Gately

2010-03-16T04:05:00.000-07:00

A year before his shock death, Stephen Gately recorded the haunting opening line to Boyzone's new album, Brother: "I will learn to live before I die".
The album, released around the world today, has already raced to No 1 on the British albums chart.
It's a spot reached by all but one of the veteran boy band's previous albums, showing that despite splitting up in 2000 and reuniting in 2007, and outgrowing their band name, Boyzone's fans have remained loyal.
The group, a four-piece since Gately's death from natural causes in October, plan to see how fans respond to Brother before making plans for the future, Ronan Keating says.
Keating will sing alongside Mikey Graham, Shane Lynch and Keith Duffy, in a lineup that told OK! Magazine they were on the brink of a split following the death of Gately.
"We'll see what happens, see how we feel on the road out there without him," Keating says.
"It's hard, we don't know what it's going to be like to perform until we perform.
"We've never performed as a four-piece, we still haven't yet. We've been in the studio but that's a little easier to deal with. Actually going out on stage as a four-piece will be very strange."
Gately's death is "the hardest thing I've ever known", Keating says.

New Boyzone album is "tribute to Gately"

2010-02-02T06:19:00.000-08:00

Boyzone star Keith Duffy has declared the group's new record a "tribute" to late member Stephen Gately.

The Irish boyband release Brothers, their first collection of entirely new songs since 1998, on March 8.

"It's all completely original material. There are no covers on it and there's not really any ballads on it either," he told Digital Spy. "It's a whole new sound and it's a whole new dynamic for Boyzone."

Duffy, who reprises his role as chef Ciaran McCarthy on Coronation Street next week, also revealed that Gately was heavily involved in shaping the album's direction.
"Stephen was a big part of picking the tunes that are on the album. I think Stephen would really want us to continue and to release the songs and the album," he said.

However, Duffy also admitted that the group have yet to make any long-term plans.
"I don't know what's going to happen after the album," he said. "Whether we tour again and whether we perform together again, I really don't know. For now we're going to release this album as a tribute to Stephen.

"I'm on Corrie for six months as well so I'm not going to be available for any kind of promotion. I'm just going to let the album work itself - if it's a hit, it's a hit, and if it isn't, it isn't."

Boyzone stars honoured by gay campaigners

2009-11-06T11:50:00.002-08:00

Boyzone have been honoured by gay campaign group Stonewall for the late Stephen Gately's contribution to raising awareness. The band were named Entertainers of the Year at Stonewall's annual awards event at London's Victoria and Albert Museum in Kensington.
Gately died last month of natural causes while on holiday in Majorca as the band prepared to work together again.
His partner Andrew Cowles, with whom he was in a civil partnership, collected the award of their behalf.
The judges took account of Gately's "brave decision to come out" at the height of the band's success.
They also noted that the band "made pop history with their video featuring a same `sex couple a year ago".

At coffin vigil 'in pieces' to Boyzone

2009-11-02T11:33:00.000-08:00

Spending the night with Stephen Gately's coffin made Boyzone "fall to pieces".
The Irish boyband have broken their silence over the sudden and unexpected death of Stephen last month, and described the night they spent alone with him at church ahead of his funeral on October 17.
Lead singer Ronan Keating told Sky News: "To turn up on the Friday night at the funeral home was the hardest thing I think I've ever had to do in my life. And I think all the lads feel the same, I know they do.
"When I walked into the funeral home I just crumbled. I fell to pieces. It was there that I realised he was gone, ly gone."
Ronan and band members Shane Lynch, Keith Duffy and Mikey Graham had accompanied Stephen's body from Majorca, where he was staying in his holiday home with husband Andy Cowley when he died after a night out aged 33.
They then took the unusual move of staying with his body overnight at St Laurence O'Toole's church in Dublin, where the funeral was held, because they didn't want Stephen to be alone.
Ronan added: "All of us are so happy that we did it. It was our last real night together as a five-piece, and it felt like that - it felt like we were quiet.
"We lay on the floor to the left of the coffin in our sleeping bags and we cried and we laughed and we could hear him telling us jokes and answering back, what he would say back.
"We didn't get much sleep - a little bit but that's not what it was about - it was just about spending time with Steve and we knew Steve well. He didn't like the dark, he didn't like being on his own."
The band also revealed Stephen had already recorded vocals for two tracks wich will be included on their next album.

Boyzone singer: Stephen Gately’s will missing

2009-10-29T10:21:00.000-07:00

The will of Irish boy band star Stephen Gately is nowhere to be found.
The singer Boyzone, who died at the age of 33 from an acute pulmonary oedema at his holiday home in Majorca on October 10, left behind a £7.2 million ($12 million) fortune.
The hunt is now on to find the document, his family on thursday which was supposed to be unveiled.
His civil partner Andrew Cowles, 32, has been told the will is safe in the hands of a London based law firm, but he doesn't know which lawyer has the copy of the last wishes.
A source close to Cowles told Ireland’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “It actually is panic stations. They can’t locate Stephen’s will anywhere. Nobody from the firm has got in touch with him to say they have it. Everything is up in the air now.”

Gately died a 'natural death' to Boyzone singer: autopsy

2009-10-13T15:08:00.000-07:00

PALMA DE MAJORCA, Spain (AFP) – An autopsy on Boyzone singer Stephen Gately revealed that he died due to excess fluid in his lungs, a court spokeswoman on the Spanish island of Majorca said Tuesday.
"He died a natural death of acute pulmonary oedema" which had nothing to do with any consumption of alcohol or drugs, said the spokeswoman in the Majorcan capital of Palma.
A pulmonary oedema, or water on the lungs, can be due to either the failure of the heart to remove fluid from the lungs or direct damage to the lung tissue.
Gately, 33, was found dead on Saturday in his apartment in the Majorcan town of Port Andratx while on holiday on the Mediterranean island. News reports said he had been out late the night before.
His body is now at a chapel of rest in the Majorcan town of Calvia, from where it will be flown to Dublin on Friday.
Cowley, who married his partner Andrew Cowles in a civil union in 2006, sent ripples through the pop music world 10 years ago when he announced that he was gay.
Gately joined the Irish pop band Boyzone in 1993 after answering an advert in Dublin for an audition.
The band went on to enjoy huge success with six number one singles in Britain, but split up in 2000.
They reunited seven years later, but their current 19-date Better tour failed to fill stadiums, despite offers of free tickets.
Gately also starred in West End musicals in London, including "Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat".

Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Mikey Graham and Shane Lynch said: "We are completely devastated by the loss of our friend and brother, Stephen. We have shared such excellent times together over the years and were all looking forward to sharing many more."
They continued: "Stephen was a beautiful he had all over the world. Our love and sympathy go out to Andrew and Stephen's family. We love you and will miss you forever 'Steo'."
Sir Elton said: "David (Furnish) and I are stunned by thisin both bodies of Stephen person in both body and spirit. He lit up our lives and those of the many friends tragedy. Stephen was the kindest, gentlest soul. We send our love and condolences to his partner Andy and to all his friends everywhere."
And musical impresario Andrew Lloyd Webber added that Gately was "enormously talented". "I very much enjoyed working with him on Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat and the Boyzone hit No Matter What my biggest selling single," he said. "His death is a great loss to the musical world."
Phillip Schofield, who also played Joseph in the West End production, wrote on Twitter: "My God. What terrible news to wake up to. Poor Stephen. My deepest condolences to his friends family and fans. He was a actually lovely guy".
Westlife band members Kian Egan, Mark Feehily, Nicky Byrne and Shane Filan said Gately was "friendly, positive spirit and a passionate performer".
Boyzone manager Louis Walsh's spokeswoman said he was "very shocked and exceptionally upset" and he had pulled out of the X Factor live finals.
Former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, whose daughter Georgina is married to Nicky Byrne of boyband Westlife, told the BBC's Andrew Marr show: "It's just such a tragedy.Boyzone and Stephen, they've all been part of Irish life and far wider than that, the last 15 years, and so successful, so it's a huge, huge tragedy. It's so sad."

15 minutes of Ronan Keating in Hanoi

2009-09-28T08:40:00.000-07:00

Boyzone front man Ronan Keating drew throngs of followers wherever he went during his short visit to Hanoi last week, no matter how secret his schedule was kept.
Visiting mainly to promote the opening of an International Watch Company (IWC) see shop on September 18, Keating was swarmed by dozens of youngsters
crying out for auto graphs and photographs at the Sofitel Metropole Hotel, where the shop launch took place.
His schedule had not been released to the public, but fans found him either way.
During his 15 minutes on the hotel’s stage, the 32 year old pop star crooned three of his most democratic love songs: “If Tomorrow Never Comes,” “When You Say Nothing At All,” and “Life is a Roller Coaster.”
Earlier, Keating visited Agent Orange victims at the Hoa Binh Children’s Village, also known as Peace Village, in Thanh Xuan District. Hundreds of handicapped children stood around him and sang songs to welcome him.
For the kids at Peace Village, he sang a folk song from his native Ireland about the love between parents and children.
Keating, born on March 3, 1977, joined the Boyzone band when he was 17.
After Boyzone dissolved in 1999, he continued his success with a solo career, clocking up a total of 14 UK top 10 singles as well as four UK Number One albums that sold nearly two and a half million copies worldwide.
Last October, Ronan was entered into the Guinness Book of World Records for being the only artist ever to have 30 consecutive top 10 singles on the UK charts.

Acid test for new Culture Minister
With each new Culture Minister comes a new set of paintings to furnish the office, chosen by the latest incumbent from the vaults of the Government art collection. Ben Bradshaw revealed the names of the six paintings he has just picked to hang on his walls, one of which advise a steathly love of acid house. The screenprint, by the radical Turner Prize winner, Jeremy Deller (best known for his work "Battle of Orgreave", a diversion of a violent clash between police and picketers during the miners' strike in 1984) is called "History of the World" and traces the links between the acid house scene of the late 1980s and traditional brass bands, as well as taking in themes of de-industrialisation, the miners' strike and press hysteria over ecstasy. Effusing over Deller's artwork, Bradshaw said: "This piece says a lot to me. It makes clear the connection between music and politics, which has always been important to me personally, to my political beliefs and musical tastes." He also chose a view of Polpeor Cove on The Lizard in Cornwall, by John Brett, because, "I actually needed a West Country seascape, having spent all my childhood holidays by the sea in Devon".

Boyzone's Ronan loves to bring family on Archerfield trips

2009-09-15T08:32:00.000-07:00

HE is a global pop star who could pick any five star resort in the world to get away from it all.
But Boyzone frontman Ronan Keating likes nothing better than taking his family on holiday to East Lothian.The keen golfer has even become a member of the Archerfield Links course after holding a charity event there last year.He was there again at the weekend for the latest Ronan Keating & Sir Ian Botham Charity Golf Classic, and told the Evening News the area had become his favourite holiday spot.The 32-year-old said: "I come up here outside the event as well, with friends and my family, too. I love bringing the kids here. When I'm away a lot I need to go somewhere with my three kids and feel they are being diverted and there's certainly a good family atmosphere at Archerfield."Keating, who performed at a gala dinner in a marquee on the Archerfield estate on Sunday, and Botham raised over £135,000 from their event last year. Among those taking part this time around were rugby star Matt Dawson,snooker's Dennis Taylor and former football stars Trevor Steven and Phil Babb. Keating added: "While we started up at Gleneagles, it was such a great event at Archerfield last year that we decided to keep it here and I think this is it now I don't think we'll be moving anywhere because we love it here."With Muirfield and all the other great courses around, some people might have thought they were mad when it first came out that they were going to build two courses at Archerfield."But what they've done here is unbelievable. They've made it very special and very exclusive, I suppose, but, at the same time, it's also very homely and I think the staff have a lot to do with that."There are some great houses on the site, too, and, all in all, it is a really special place."The Open returns to Muirfield in 2013. "I've never played Muirfield but I would certainly like to," Keating said. "I love my golf and Barry, who has looked after me for 15 years, and I travel around the world with our golf clubs. "Any city we get to, we need to get the golf bag out and hit a few balls. It's a great way for me to shut down, switch off and get away from it all."Next up for Keating on the golf front is the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, a star-studded pro-am being held at St Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns at the beginning of October.

Boyzone - No Matter What - Lyrics

2008-11-19T06:53:00.000-08:00

No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What we believe is true

No matter what they call us
However they attack
No matter where they take us
We'll find our own way back

I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know I'll love forever
I know, no matter what

If only tears were laughter
If only night was day
If only prayers were answered
Then we would hear God say

No matter what they tell you
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach you
What you believe is true

And I will keep you safe and strong
And sheltered  from the storm
No matter where it's barren
A dream is being born

No matter who they follow
No matter where they lead
No matter how they judge us
I'll be everyone you need

No matter if the sun don't shine
Or if the skies are blue
No matter what the end is
My life began with you

I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know, I know
I know this love's forever
That's all that matters now
No matter what

About Boyzone

2008-11-19T04:47:00.001-08:00

Boyzone were shaped in November 1993 following an audition in Dublin. The six boys originally selected were Ronan Keating, Shane Lynch, Stephen Gately, Keith Duffy, Mark Walton and Richie Rock. The day after forming they performed a hastily arranged dance routine to Burn Baby Burn on the Irish Late Late Show presented by Gaye Byrne. The act was not well received and they were virtually written off by many critics.
In the summer of 1994 their first single Working My Way Back To You was released only in Ireland and reached number three in the charts. The song later became something of an embarrassment to Boyzone - it was soon deleted and has never been included on an album.
Their first UK single Love Me For A Reason was released in December 1994. Boyzone performed on the Smash Hits Roadshow and won Best New Tour Act at the Smash Hits Poll Winner Party. Love Me For A Reason entered the charts at number 10 and then climbed to be number two at Christmas, only being kept off the number one position by East 17s Stay Another Day. That day proved as a sparkle day for Boyzone. From that day to now people likes every type of album that has been release from the Boyzone. The fans of boys always wait for their concert dates specially in UK because they have done extra ordinary in UK tour dates.
