Nicole Scherzinger to perform solo show at Royal Albert Hall
The American singer and actress, who rose to fame as a member of girl group The Pussycat Dolls, will perform on October 6 at the London venue for the concert titled An Evening With Nicole Scherzinger. This comes after the 47-year old won an Olivier award for best actress in a musical for her role as Norma in a West End production of Sunset Boulevard. She said: 'I am truly humbled to be performing at Royal Albert Hall. 'So many of my heroes have stood on that stage, and to join their legacy means the world to me.' The setlist will feature hits from both the West End and pop tracks accompanied by a live band to capture the full range of her career across musical theatre and as a popstar. Days later, the singer will make her debut at Carnegie Hall in New York City followed by a performance at Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA – which she promised fans would be 'nothing short of powerful and magical'. The singer has had a series of top five hits in the UK singles charts as part of The Pussycat Dolls including Don't Cha, Stickwitu and Buttons. Aside from her music and acting career, she is also known as a TV personality including being a judge on The X Factor – where she helped to form the boyband One Direction. She will soon appear as a judge in the upcoming Netflix series Building The Band, where she is joined by the late One Direction singer Liam Payne and former Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland as the trio judge attempts by contestants to create a band. Scherzinger was among the stars who performed at the Coronation Concert in the grounds of Windsor Castle in 2023. Tickets for An Evening With Nicole Scherzinger go on sale on July 11 at 10am.

St Julian's Primary School in Newport hosts SJPS Fest
St Julian's Primary School in Newport hosted its annual Glastonbury-inspired 'SJPS Fest' on June 30, which this year took on a West End musicals theme and saw all 716 pupils perform. Luke Mansfield, headteacher at St Julian's Primary School, said: "Today was absolutely incredible. "I loved every minute of it. "I'm so proud of every single child who took part – their enthusiasm and the confidence they each performed with blew me away. "It was such a lovely atmosphere throughout the day. "I'm so thankful to our dedicated team of staff and fantastic PTA members, who go above and beyond to create such memorable experiences for our pupils. "SJPS Fest just gets bigger and better each year." Under clear skies, pupils took to the outdoor stage to sing and dance to songs from popular West End productions, cheered on by friends, family and the wider school community. Staff arrived as early as 6.30am to transform the grounds into a festival site, complete with colourful bunting, tents and an array of activities and food stalls. The festival featured a pizza oven, BBQ, ice cream machine and an inflatable play area, with third-party vendors adding to the day's offerings. A 20-square-metre outdoor LED screen streamed the performances live, ensuring every attendee had a clear view of the action. Mr Mansfield said: "A huge thank you must go to our amazing staff and dedicated PTA who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to bring the festival to life. "From the crack of dawn, the team was on site transforming the school field to give a true festival experience – complete with inflatables, a catering village, a pizza oven, BBQ, and a host of external stall holders. "One of the standout features this year was our giant 20-square-metre LED screen, which live-streamed every performance. "It gave the day a real Glastonbury vibe and made sure every act had their moment to shine – even for those watching from the back. "I was genuinely blown away by the enthusiasm, creativity and confidence shown by our children. "It's clear just how much effort went into preparing their acts – and the support from teachers and teaching assistants was second to none. "It was also fantastic to see so many parents joining us – thank you for taking time out of your day to come and support the children – your presence made the day even more special." Families were invited to share in the experience, adding to the sense of community that defines the event. Mr Mansfield added: "SJPS Fest is all about creating lasting memories, celebrating creativity, and giving children the opportunity to perform and express themselves on a big stage. "Today, we achieved all that and more." The school now looks ahead to next year's event, with preparations already underway.

Osteria Mucca
✍️ Time Out Sydney never writes starred restaurant and bar reviews from hosted experiences – Time Out covers restaurant and bar bills, and anonymously reviews, so that readers can trust our critique. Find out more, here. There are a lot of beautiful dining rooms in Sydney – the kind that, when you step inside, whisk you away to another world; where thoughts of to-do lists and Everest-like piles of laundry melt away like lemon granita under the Amalfi sun. Bennelong, tucked within the city's white sails, is one of them. So too is the coastal kitsch of Sean's in Bondi. Osteria Mucca, a charming trattoria from the Continental Deli crew that opened in April this year, is another such room. Found on Newtown 's happening Australia Street, the 50-seat Italian restaurant had a past life as a butcher. Those 115-year-old forest-green-and-white tiles are the originals. Candles flicker on top of white tablecloths, Art Deco-style vintage lights hang from the ceiling – creating the perfect dinner-date glow – and vintage plates jazz up the walls. This is the work of Sarah Doyle, co-owner and creative director of Paisano & Daughters, who has a knack for creating venues with their own soul. (It just takes one peep into siblings and neighbours – eclectic fisherman's den Mister Grotto, honey-hued plant celebration Flora, and Continental Deli with its big Euro energy – to fully appreciate her talent.) The room feels like an occasion, so we bypass the Limoncello Spritz and Mucca Martini in favour of a glass of Sella & Mosca's sparkling from Sardinia, poured (and appreciated) tableside. Cheers. The timeless space isn't the only thing I'm a big fan of Leading the kitchen is Janina Allende, who ran the pass at Sydney favourite Pellegrino 2000 for more than two years, and also spent time on the pans at Alberto's Lounge and Bar Vincent. At Osteria Mucca, Allende is spotlighting regional Italian classics, with home-style recipes and handmade pasta. In a nod to the restaurant's former life – and because the group knows their way around meat (Osteria Mucca shares DNA with the award-winning Porteño) – they also do all their butchery in-house. FYI – 'Mucca' means 'cow' in Italian. But we start with land and sea – a riff on puntarelle alla Romana, which sees ribbon-like curls of the slightly bitter, crunchy and cool puntarelle coated in a punchy anchovy dressing tempered with creamy, veneer-white buffalo mozzarella. So good. Meanwhile, hunks of pickled cauliflower, carrot and onion rest atop a smooth, nutty fava bean dip doused in olive oil, and are best mopped up with a crusty ciabatta roll that the team source from Brickfields. Next comes our cotechino – a dish that tastes both new and familiar. Soft, house-made pork sausage meat fragrant with cinnamon, clove and nutmeg rests on a bed of slow-cooked buttery-sweet lentils and vegetables. It's adorned with a vivid salsa verde, chewy mustard fruits and delicate shavings of horseradish. Originating from northern Italy, cotechino con lenticchie is traditionally eaten on New Year's Eve; the coin-shaped lentils symbolising wealth and prosperity. I say to our waiter it tastes like Christmas, and he says it's a hit then, too. Also a hit: our bottle of 2022 Montesecondo Rosso sangiovese from Tuscany that's cherry-red and lovely with soft tannins. Ping-pong-shaped balls of ricotta gnudi, so soft you can cut them with a spoon, sit in a pool of browned butter and topped with crisp sage leaves and thin shavings of lemon rind that cleverly cut through and lift. This, and whatever season of Survivor, and you can stick a fork in me – I'm done Formidable pastry chef Lauren Eldridge is behind the desserts at Osteria Mucca (and the three other Paisano & Daughters venues), which features house-made gelato (right now it's grapefruit); cassata with ricotta, chocolate and candied fruit; and bonèt alla Piemontese – a chocolate and amaretti custard topped with marsala Chantilly. If I wasn't stuffed like a, well, gnudi, I'd go for one of those. On this Tuesday night, the room hums with songs my grandparents would have danced to, the clink of glassware and the laughter of friends. There's not a table free. I say goodbye to the team, pull on my coat, step into the fresh night air – and glance back one last time. For a few hours it was all about that bellissimo dining room, those knockout gnudi and the person across from me. That's the power of a great restaurant. Now, back to life admin.
