Men’s Fashion Review – Great British Brands at Infinities
When it comes to menswear, I love clothes that are timeless, stylish and speak of heritage and history. If they happen to be a British Heritage brand too, then even better. Infinities is a company that has prided itself on offering the sort of high quality designer menswear brands that I admire most, and they have been doing this for more than 25 years, starting with an initial store based in Newcastle-Under-Lyme, and growing to become a nationwide concern. Stocking brands like Paul Smith, Ralph Lauren, Armani Jeans, Adidas and Lyle and Scott, Infinities offers everything from casual daywear to formal tailoring. I was recently asked if Pete would be…

It’s Easy Street for Annie as it charms at the Wolverhampton Grand
My absolute favourite childhood musical film is also a stunning piece of musical theatre, one that moves, enchants and entertains in equal measures. Yes, the sun came out at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre tonight as little orphan ‘Annie’ rolled into town. The depression era story of the feisty 11 year old redhead who steals the heart of a billionaire is the ultimate feelgood story, and in the capable hands of an outstanding cast, this is an experience that is sure to please the crowds that will flock to see it. It’s 1933 and Annie has been in the New York Orphanage for 11 years, waiting in vain for the parents…
