being shortlisted for best pop vocal album in the Grammy Awards 2010. Their eponymous album “Shakey’s Brother” is only

McNulty said: “At first we thought it was a wind-up. It wasn’t imtil we checked the official website that it dawned on us it was actually true. To see our name up there alongside modem artists like Keane and Lily Allen, as well as • established artists like Seal is amazing. “We don’t expect to

Jimmy, songwriter/gui- ta r is t Mark Smith, singer Mark Capstick, Phil Parker on guitar and vocals and Sam Robinson on drums. The band released their five-track EP earlier this year to coincide with a series of planned gigs, which kicked off at the Burnley Mechanics in March. They established a


working relationship with Big Noise who have been promoting


Shakey’s Brother on the web. They hope th e attention the Grammy nomination brings will see them signed up. Mark added: “We see


this as our big chance to break into th e music industry as independent a r t is ts . We’ll soon be recording and releasing our first full album on the back of this for our loyal fans. “We’re in discussion


with a manager a t the, moment and if that does


happen then we be look­ ing to get pushed down in London. “We do feel fortunate


to have got to where we are now, but we do put a lot of work in, practising every single week.” The 52nd Annual


Grammy Awards will take place on January 31st, at the Staples Cen­ ter in Los Angeles. For more information

PUPILS from Stonyhurst College’s partner Jesuit school in (iermany - Kol- leg Sankt Blasien, in the Black Forest - spent a week.at.the Hurst Green college as p a r t of the annual exchange pro­ gramme. Both Jesuit schools


originated 400 years ago in countries other than their present ones: Stony­ hurst was founded in St Omers, France, and Kol- leg Sankt Blasien began in Swiss Fribourg.


_ JiSV—


: This was the second leg of th e exchange, the


aiQl


Stonyhurst group having spent a week in St Blasien in April this year. Some of the visitors had


a taste of boarding life, while others.stayed-with the families of day pupils. During their visit there


were day trips to York and Liverpool and on other days the German pupils attended lessons with their exchange partners. They also took part in


specially-arranged activi­ ties such as a walk around the Tolkein Trail with Mr David Knight, the Col­ lege Archivist.


Mr Damien Morley,


who teaches German a t Stonyhurst, said: “The exchange enables and renews the close contacts


■ which both Stonyhurs t and St Blasien recognise to be so im p o r ta n t. Rapidly bridging their lin­ guistic and cultural differ­ ences, the pupils quicldy found friendship arid much in common.” - Our picture shows the


German pupils with their Stonyhurst hosts and their teachers Herr Chris­ tian Schmieder and Herr Clemens Steiger, (s) %

A STARK glimpse of life behind bars was given to sixth-form students at Stonyhurst College, Hurst Green. Mr Brendan O’Friel, a


former governor of Strangeways, Risley and Feaffierstone prisons, and foriner chairman of the Prison Governors’ Associa­ tion, gave the thought-pro­ voking and illuminating talk. He raised the ethical


considerations of taking someone’s freedom away and their subsequent treat­ ment, quoting the prison reformer Alexander Pat­ terson, who said: “prison IS pimishment, not FOR punishment”. With more than 83,000


people in prison in the UK, the system is seriously over-stretched and the challenges in providing adequate education, work or rehabilitation pro­ grammes for prisoners are huge, said Mr O’Friel, adding that 60% of pris­ oners re-offend within two years of their release. He also raised the ques­


tion of how far people can be held responsible for their crimes when they lack family or community support, and have neither education nor opportu- nites. Mr Peter Anwyl, chali'-


man of the Independent Monitoring Board at HM Prison Preston, and former Headmaster of Stonyhurst


St Mary’s Hall, spoke too of the reality and problems within prisons - drug-addi- tion and mental illness being among them. He said th a t we, as a


society, have to look criti­ cally at the suitability of those we send to prison, and not to send so many. The talk was followed by


a lively question-and- answer session. Our picture shows some


of the sixth formers with the two guest speakers. They are, from th e left, Philip Alton, Mr P ete r Anwyl, Lavinia O’H ea, Mr Brendan O’F riel, Catriona Graffius, Fabian Twist, Hannah Phoenix, Michael McCullough and Yoann Belon. (s)
