Winchester’s very own Charlotte Cooper has signed onto The Beach Boys record label Brother Records.
The twenty year old first came to the attention of the band at a Beach Boys convention when she was just thirteen. Whilst there, she was given the opportunity to perform on stage, and she was spotted by a record producer in the crowd.
Cooper who once performed in front of a 20,000 crowd at a Beach Boys concert in Los Angeles, is now hoping to do some local gigs to gain more experience before completing her degree in June.

Cooper believes that her singing style has developed since being spotted, and likens her new material to that of MTV award winner Taylor Swift.

3rd Radio Story. Football cup final
Winchester football first’s were yesterday crowned BUCS champions after defeating Glamorgan in Bath on Wednesday.
This was the first time a university team from Winchester had reached a final of such calibre, and they were strongly tipped as underdogs before the game.
Winchester went two-nil down within the first half an hour, but managed to pull a goal back before half-time through a Mike Wheeler penalty.
In the second half Winchester turned the game on its head, with Matt Dawson scoring a brace to make it three-two, before Danny Barber completed the scoring with a chip from just outside the box, making it four-two at the final whistle.
Barber, who was on the books at Crystal Palace as a kid, captained the Hampshire based side to victory:

This comes after the government was recommended to move the Ashes test series back to terrestrial TV.
Martin Peters, store manager of Wild Sports in Winchester agrees that the move could be damaging to local club cricket, but also acknowledges that it could have its benefits.

The Lib Dem MP has written to Gordon Brown, and urged him to consider the financial impact the switch could have on grass-roots cricket.
