Whether you love it or hate it, Valentines Day at Sheffield clubs is not far away. As it falls on a Saturday night this year at least you can take solace in the fact that come the morning after the night before you won’t have to face the prospect of getting up and going to work. Buzzing.

If you’re currently in a relationship you will be expected (particularly as a guy) to be imaginative, generous, and to be willing to go that extra yard to make the night a memorable one. Failure to live up to these expectations will result in serious ramifications. Trust me, it’s is one of the unwritten rules of the relationship bible.

So, what is going on in town this Valentines Day at …

On Friday 6th February there’s a Tim Westwood Durex event in Sheffield. Before you cough coffee all over your keyboard, let me explain. Tim, Big Dog (insert ridiculous barking noises here), Westwood has joined forces with the condom manufacturer to promote a safer sex is better sex message. The fact that they might boost sales with the Westwood Durex Event in Sheffield has nothing to do with it whatsoever, of course.

Once you’ve decided to spend New Years Eve at Sheffield clubs, you will need to decide which one suits you best, then how to get there and back and also the best way to round up all your disorganised mates and get them to purchase advance tickets. This can be one of the most annoying things about organising a big night out: how many times has a close friend ummed and aah’d about whether they’re going to get a ticket only for the event to sell out?

The British music industry has never been better – you only have to take one look at such awards as the NME and the Brits to see the huge range of talent out there at the moment. And we’re not talking about poxy reality TV shows, either – um, Chanelle what were you thinking?

One of the hottest rated bands to come out of Britain to date is The Guillemots (sorry, I mean gUiLLeMoTs). A personal favourite of mine, they’ve gone from strength to strength since they formed in late 2004. With a plethora of hits, including Trains to Brazil, which was an Itunes Single of the Week, celebrity fans that include Sir Paul McCartney, and a Brit nomination under their belt the future looks very rosy indeed for this talented band.
