The fifth edition of the "Cheval" anthology presents the 2012 Terry
Hetherington Award-winning poetry and prose entries. The Terry
Hetherington Award aims to encourage and promote young and emerging
writers. The respected former Welsh poet, short story writer and
Academi Member Terry Hetherington passed away in 2007. The bursary
was first awarded in 2008. A charitable trust, it is funded by the
Neath Poets and Pints night, and recently qualified for a Lottery
grant. Profits from the sale of the anthology will help to fund the
following year's award.
Iron Maiden first appeared at the Reading Rock Festival in 1980
when Paul Di'Anno was fronting the band and Dennis Stratton was on
guitar. They appeared second on the bill to UFO on the second
night. Undoubtedly for Maiden's Steve Harris there was nothing but
respect for the headliners with UFO's Pete Way being one of
Harris's biggest bass guitar influences. Also on the bill that day
were two future Iron Maiden members - Bruce Dickinson, then the
lead singer with Samson, and guitarist Janick Gers of White Spirit,
who were brought in as a replacement band. By 1982 when Maiden
returned to Reading it was naturally as the headlining act on the
Saturday evening. The band had gone through significant changes to
the line-up, most notably with Bruce Dickinson now fronting them,
which coincided with their rise in popularity. Incredibly it would
be another twenty-three years before Maiden returned to Reading, by
which time they were in their third decade and had become the
undisputed giants of metal. Their longevity also stood out as most
of the other major acts that performed over the three days had only
appeared on the scene over the previous few years and none could
boast a back catalogue quite like Maiden's. With a large collection
of photos by Alan Perry and memorabilia from the gigs plus
narrative from Iron Maiden biographer Neil Daniels, this book is a
wonderful celebration of Maiden's unforgettable appearances at this
British institution.

A young Irish skydiver ponders the highs and lows of a lost
relationship as he climbs through the clouds; a baronial castle
once owned by the renowned opera-singer Adelina Patti becomes a
hospital for tuberculosis sufferers; a third generation miner takes
up running after the closure of a pit...Cheval 6 presents a
selection of the writing submitted by the talented young entrants
to this year's Terry Hetherington Award, and includes new work by
previous winners.Some of these writers are appearing in print for
the first time; others have already begun to make their mark on the
literary scene. The Terry Hetherington Award aims to encourage and
promote young and emerging writers. Profits from the sale of the
anthology help to fund the following year's award.
Rorke's Drift sums up some of the best traditions of the British
self-image: steadfastness against the odds, victory in adversity
and the thin red line. The British stand deserves to go down in
history as one of the most heroic actions of all time. The story of
a mere 150 British and Imperial soldiers defending an isolated
outpost against over 3,000 Zulu warriors summed up the experience
of the colonial adventure for the Victorians and remains part of
our heritage even today. Ian Knight recounts the course of this
famous conflict in which no less than 11 Victoria crosses were won.

Foreword by Whitesnake bassist Neil Murray, over 130 concert photos
from UK gigs as far back as their third ever gig in Wolverhampton
on the first "back to the roots" tour-Birmingham on the band's
first full scale UK tour promoting the debut album Trouble, by
which time Coverdale's former Deep Purple band mate Jon Lord had
joined. The Deep Purple connection continued when drummer Ian Paice
joined in 1979 in time for the band's first appearance at the
Reading Festival in 1979 from which there are many photos included
along with shots from later in the year during the Lovehunter Tour.
The concert photos conclude with shots from their appearance at the
1981 Monsters Of Rock Festival. Visions of Whitesnake also contains
a superb range of photos from the personal collection of bassist
Neil Murray who collaborated on this publication. Armed with his
trusty Pentax, Neil was always on hand to catch the band in many
different situations and locations. His collection includes photos
from several recording sessions-Lovehunter album at Clearwell
Castle, Come an' Get It at Startling Studios and the sessions for
the Saints & Sinners album in the Autumn of 1981. Neil's
collection also includes many backstage, off stage and soundcheck
shots from the first Japanese tour in 1980, UK and German tours
from the same year as well as the US tour where they supported
Jethro Tull. Neil kept diaries during his years in the band and
these have helped Neil to add his memories and recollections to go
alongside many of the photos making this a wonderful addition to
any Whitesnake collection.
