Friction to perform in Kettering

One of the world's biggest drum and bass DJ's is set to perform in Kettering this weekend.

Friction, who has his own show on BBC Radio 1, will be entertaining The Loft this Saturday night.

The news of BBC Radio 1’s drum and bass front-man coming to the town is no surprise to many.

Local promoter Rhys Alford, 18, is known for bringing big name artists to the town, previously attracting grime MC, P Money.

He said: “It's simply amazing to be able to say one of the world’s best drum and bass DJ's is coming to our small town.

“It just goes to show what great support we have from the ravers, artists and clubs. We couldn't run nights on such a scale without them.

“I just want to thank everyone for being involved and continuing a true positive movement in Kettering.”

You can catch the multi-award winning DJ performing for just a mere £5 on the door.

Subway are set to re-open their fourth store in Kettering later this month.

Kettering’s fourth Subway store is set to re-open on November 19^th on the Telford Way Industrial Estate after being closed for refurbishment.

Free cookies and coffee has been promised to visitors to the store on Linnell Way on the opening day after 9am.

A spokesperson for the store said: "We are doing an opening on the 19th of November and will be giving free coffee and cookies.

"We will also have other promotional offers during the end of the year."

The popular sandwich store is the world’s largest restaurant chain, overtaking McDonalds in 2011.

Subway has more than 1,800 stores in the U.K, dwarfing McDonalds with their 1,200*.

Kaine Clinton, 19, from Kettering, said: "Another Subway? I like Subway but i'm not sure Kettering needs four of them.

"Perhaps the council should do something to attract a range of stores to the town rather than the same old."

Northants Police vehicles are set to have moustaches in order to support the International 'Movember' Movement.

Throughout November, police cars in the county will don a moustache with the hope of encouraging others to take part. 

Inspector Ian Wills, from the force's roads policing unit, said: "It's great that we can use our vehicles to raise awareness of Movember.

"The whole Movember movement was created to highlight the issue of men's health and encourage people to talk more openly about the issue.

"Having moustaches on our cars will hopefully encourage men across Northamptonshire to take part by growing their own moustaches and raising money."

Movember has managed to raise more than £340 million across the world since 2003, helping to improve the lives of men affected by prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health problems.

Surrounding counties will also take part, with police vehicles in Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire will also wear moustaches for the month.

The forces have challenged residents who spot any of the cars parked by the side of the road to Tweet pictures of them using the hashtag #MoPo. Motorists have been warned however not to take pictures of the vehicles while driving.
