Arts Diary: Will Marriott

Next month, the company will be bringing its smoking hot production, Dangerous Liaisons, to Yorkshire – and the romantic souls are hoping the sensual production could be the perfect meeting place for singletons.

On September 8, the production is the focal point for a singles night. For 20, ballet lovers can get a ticket to the show, at West Yorkshire Playhouse, in Leeds, a drink at the interval and a drink at the nearby Reform bar – and maybe a chance to meet their special someone with whom they can dance off into the sunset. Singles only.

Leeds College of Music has announced the launch of Music Happens Here, a collection of crafted and original material featuring some of the UK's finest young musical talent, all students from the college's undergraduate programme.

The album is the culmination of months of hard work by students and music industry experts and will be available to buy from Monday, September 27, when a launch party with students, industry experts and the Press will be held.

Students at the college submitted their entries in the hope that their tracks would be chosen to appear on the album, consequently giving them the chance to have their music heard by a wider audience and provide a stepping stone in their future careers.

After being inundated with entries, the submissions were whittled down to 16 tracks by a panel of industry experts. After selection, the tracks were then re-recorded, mastered and are now ready to be released.

Music Happens Here will be available to buy/download from www.lcm.ac.uk.

Earlier this month, Sheffield was invaded by a zombie army who took part in the filming of a trailer for Celluloid Screams 2010, Sheffield's Horror Film Festival taking place at the Showroom Cinema, October 22-24.

Zombie recruits came from far and wide to take part in the trailer, convening in the Showroom Cinema, before hitting the streets of Sheffield, taking members of the public by surprise.

The zombies shuffled and groaned their way from the Showroom up to Tudor Square where they attracted quite a crowd of onlookers.

Later in the day, the zombies could be seen around Sheffield Station. Among them were a doctor zombie, a banjo-playing zombie and even an eight-month-old baby zombie.

All the action was caught on camera by festival director

Rob Nevitt.

The trailer will be shown on the big screen at the Showroom, on Tuesday, September 21, at 8.45pm, during a special "Best of Celluloid Screams 2009" screening, and many of the zombies will be in attendance.
