Last August, Darch had his ear split in half by a nicking shot from Ukraine's Volodymyr Skurtu on a BKB card in Cardiff. Six months later, in his return to Britain's premier bare-knuckle boxing promotion, he blasted away Gary Slator in 38 seconds. Even when he gets his hand raised, it is rare for him to leave the ring without wearing a crimson mask. On Saturday night in Cardiff, Dorian is aiming to continue that trend against Poland's Eryk Madja on the main card of BKB 40, live on the talkSPORT Boxing YouTube channel from 7pm "He's tough," Darch remarked I'm looking for a quick night's work "It's either all going for him or all against him I'm hoping it will go against him on this one." Darch's switch to bare-knuckle boxing comes after a 25-fight (12-12-1) career in professional gloved boxing that included bouts with future heavyweight world champions Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois 'Dark Fruits' won his first six fights before he was stopped by 'Lay Em Out' Ian Lewison 13 years ago in a bout that would alter the trajectory of his career The full event can be viewed on the talkSPORT Boxing YouTube channel here from 7pm UK time Liam Rees vs Martin Reffell - BKB super welterweight title fight Daniel Podmore vs Emil Markic - BKB bridgerweight title fight Darch went out on the road as he transitioned from prospect to journeyman boxer One of his first assignments in his important yet underappreciated role was a domestic dust-up with a young AJ at the Cardiff International Arena in 2014 "I wasn't like a lot of journeymen I went in there looking to land a shot that would finish the fight," Darch added "I think we actually weighed the same on the day but he looked about two stone heavier than me stood next to me "And he hit like he was two stone heavier than me as well."

Police were called to a heavily fortified house in Matlock Heights just after midnight by residents who reported hearing loud voices and the sound of up to five gunshots. They say the windows of the house and the back window of a car in the driveway had been smashed by bullets. Several spent cartridges were found outside the property. Superintendent Charlie Carver says one of three young people inside the house is linked to the Comancheros bikie gang. "I can confirm that it is a bikie associate who does live at the premises and it is OMCG related," he said. "This is another example of how these bikie gangs have no regard for the community and we're going to do everything we can possibly do to solve this one." He says police are talking to the one female and two male occupants, who are known to them, to establish a motive for the shooting. "Ah yes they are cooperating to a certain extent, but I will say the code of silence that does come around with these people involved in organised crime gangs is prevalent." A man who lives nearby has described what he heard. "Some loud bangs during the night; went for a bit of a look out the window and couldn't see anything," he said. "We have seen a few loud bangs there before; very concerned yeah. "[It's] not very far away is it? Straight over the road." Inspector Mal Anderson says witnesses heard the voices outside the house just before the shooting. "When police arrived they found a car in the driveway and a front window of the house had bullet holes in them," he said. "A dark red Toyota Hilux utility was seen in the vicinity of the shooting, driving away with its lights off. Police believe the weapon used in the shooting was a 0.45 calibre handgun. AEST = Australian Eastern Standard Time which is 10 hours ahead of GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) ABC News News HomeBadly installed downlight blamed for Darch fireShare Badly installed downlight blamed for Darch fireTopic:Fires Firefighters spray water on the house where the fire caused nearly a million dollars in damage. (ABC News) Link copiedShareShare articleAuthorities believe a badly installed downlight is to blame for a fire which caused almost $1 million damage to a house in Perth's northern suburbs overnight. Fire crews arrived to find flames leaping from the roof of the double-storey house in Appleby Drive, Darch. More than a dozen firefighters fought to bring the blaze under control. The family managed to escape the house moments before the roof collapsed. Tania Prowse says she and her three children were asleep upstairs when she was woken by beeping baby monitors, indicating there was no power running through them. When she got up and attempted to turn on the light, she realised there was no power. Mrs Prowse then heard a noise towards the back of her ensuite and walked over to see a glowing above the downlight. "That's when I realised it was actually a fire in the roof," she said. "Just grabbed the kids and woke them up, screaming trying to get them out and just tried to get down the stairs in the pitch black and then got to the front door. "We couldn't get that open so we ran out the back door and my neighbour was there trying to help us open the gate and get out. Mrs Prowse says she thinks they were very lucky. "I was shaking like a leaf, that's why I couldn't get the front door open," she said. "They were all screaming, as you could imagine, and it was terrifying actually, but I'm just glad we're all ok." Investigators believe a ceiling downlight which came into contact with insulation in the roof space, sparked the fire. It has prompted a warning from authorities about the importance of having the lights installed correctly, and inspected on a regular basis.

She is commissioning editor at Elephant magazine and has written on contemporary art and culture for The Guardian Jansen is also presenter of Dior Talks podcast series I met Steve Spracklen almost 50 years ago when I arranged a concert through Bob Vernon billed as “Three Generations of Ragtime.” Steve and “Ragtime Bob” Darch were the featured performers and they brought the sell-out audience to their feet Darch and Spracklen had roots in southwest Missouri and Steve was one of many young ragtime musicians “Ragtime Bob” mentored in his career The two men maintained their friendship through the years It was because of their close relationship that Steve approached Bob about recording recollections of his long career on the “Ragtime Trail,” as Bob referred to his itinerant years on the road When Steve called right after the first of the year seeking assistance in publishing his manuscript so it was a pleasant task help see it to print Those of us who were entertained by Bob over the years know how much he enjoyed telling stories I can’t imagine trying to transcribe that long narrative with Bob’s detail for remembering place names and people’s names and his often-mimicked accents of particularly colorful characters or lyrics Steve captured it all nearly word for word and produced a most entertaining and readable biography The title comes from Bob’s reaction every time Steve would ask Bob to come on stage if he was in a Spracklen audience Bob was always the showman and he had enough music and stories memorized to perform at the least provocation Bob didn’t let facts stand in the way of a good story Those of us who heard him perform over the years were especially entertained to hear how a story heard earlier had become embellished Perhaps a better word I could use is gilded The book is vintage “Ragtime Bob” Darch and as I read the narrative because I could clearly hear the music he would have been playing as I read Like Michener in fiction or Sagan in science telling of his birth and childhood in Detroit in the pre-Depression years and then his school and college years in the depth of the Depression He told about his introduction to music and the piano and then ragtime Many readers will be surprised to learn that Bob had a university degree in engineering and that he was a genuine hero as an army paratrooper in World War II His last assignment was as a port engineer in Alaska from where he began his ragtime piano career in the saloons of the old gold fields he purchased his famous 5-pedal Cornish Upright from an Eastern entrepreneur who had tried to buy and run an Alaskan saloon Bob hauled that piano all over the continent before it was “retired” to a Florida landfill and then lovingly reclaimed and restored by his son Bill One of the things about Bob that really resonated is how hard he had to work to keep playing on the road A month’s gig was often the longest he stayed in one place and amid all his travel and performing he had to be arranging for future work Somehow he managed to keep up a prolific correspondence usually jotted down on hotel stationery or scraps of paper he found in a motel wastebasket I knew of all the original ragtime composers and musicians Bob helped to bring out of retirement or at least their music: Eubie Blake he championed the lives and music of Percy Wenrich It was an occupational necessity that often meant he took pokes at his competition Darch promoted ragtime and its salient role in the evolution of American music He was a marketing wizard and the book illustrates his prowess over and over it is the group of talented composers and musicians like Peter Lundberg and Susan Spracklen Cordell that Bob mentored encouraged and inspired during his 60-year career They keep on entertaining us in Bob’s style or as a result of his influence Because of entertainers like “Ragtime Bob” Darch Larry Melton was a founder of the Scott Joplin Ragtime Festival in 1974 and the Sedalia Ragtime Archive in 1976 He was a Sedalia Chamber of Commerce manager before moving on to Union Missouri where he is currently helping to conserve the Ragtime collection of the Sedalia Heritage Foundation I have been gathering material on “Ragtime” Bob Darch in anticipation of the 100th anniversary of his birth in 2020 I have discovered many others have recently written or are writing about Bob’s life and career I’ll focus on the affectionate bond Bob had with Sedalia In a way the symbiotic relationship can be summed up in the words of an April 10 After describing the wide range of Bob’s appearances and the publicity he had garnered for himself None should begrudge the publicity Bob has gotten for himself and he certainly has the knack for getting it in abundance wherever he goes What we mean in saying we shouldn’t begrudge Bob all the publicity he gets is the fact that Darch always sees to it that Sedalia shares in the beneficial publicity of course Sedalia reciprocated by hiring him to return and perform often over the years Bob’s first unpublicized visit to Sedalia was in 1947 I suspect that should have been 1957 as Bob was still in Japan in 1947 Bob was fascinated by the city where Joplin’s Maple Leaf Rag was first published Most of us knew Bob Darch as a consummate entertainer working saloons and clubs all over the country and often abroad We forget his adventurous life as a young man He earned a college engineering degree and then traveled with John Steinbeck to Mexico and Central California before the author was famous he was a military hero as an Army paratrooper during the D-Day invasion of Europe After the war he served as an Army engineer building airbases in Japan In the early 1950s he was stationed in Alaska working as an engineer and in his spare time he played ragtime piano wherever he could get a gig Bob mustered out of the service as a Major and lived for a time with his family in Michigan but soon went back to Alaska to pursue his musical career Bayer in his essay “Honky Tonk in the Ruins of a Mining Town” in Rhymes From the Silver State (2018) Bob and family took up residence in Virginia City along with his famous five-pedal Cornish Upright Saloon Piano and was based there until they moved to the old Ritchey Mansion in Newtonia I’ll jump over the specific details of Bob’s early life and focus on his Sedalia connection will be writing more about Bob as his 100th birth anniversary approaches I understand As Bob traveled around the country from his bases in Michigan and Alaska he was constantly in pursuit of any documents He was also actively composing his own syncopated compositions Bob’s long connection to Sedalia began in earnest when he contacted the Chamber of Commerce about a performing engagement and he was hired to provide a program on ragtime for a Chamber breakfast in mid-July Bob had aroused Missouri interest when he played for a state Jaycees Convention in late May in Joplin saw to it that considerable coverage of the breakfast event was provided for both Bob’s performance and Sedalia’s ragtime history One pre-event article went into length about Bob’s early years in Detroit and then about the time Darch met Percy Wenrich the composer Bob credited with inspiring his own ragtime career Many of these articles also refer to Bob’s old Cornish piano but the old upright’s story will be told later and it is nearly as interesting as Bob himself It is important here to mention that Bill Hopkins was the Chamber president at this time and he and his wife Dorothy became avid ragtime fans and close friends of Bob Bill was always a strong advocate for Darch and for any recognition of Sedalia’s ragtime heritage Darch and the Hopkins made a tape recording of an interview with Tom Ireland about Tom’s experiences with Scott Joplin and the Queen City Concert Band They also visited the Perry Music Company to look through the old printing plates and Bob had a chance to play the old Perry Company piano Ragtime” Bob’s reputation in Sedalia grew exponentially after that Chamber breakfast A tape of his performance was played over local radio station KDRO on several occasions and Ralph Jones at the Sedalia Democrat wrote articles about Bob and Sedalia Ragtime that circulated in newspapers around the state the Chamber appointed a Scott Joplin Memorial Committee in September to be headed by radio newsman Harlan Snow and local businessman and musician Jack Siragusa The group aimed to further pursue Brun Campbell’s goals for Sedalia specifically to establish a center for Joplin and ragtime lore raise funds to bring Joplin’s body to Sedalia for reburial from New York and finally to produce a special memorial program featuring Bob Darch and honoring Joplin to be held November 23-24 The first concert was to be held in the Smith-Cotton High School auditorium and the second at the African-American Hubbard High School Bob continued his travels and was also writing articles himself Anticipating his return engagement to Sedalia Bob had an article in the Sedalia paper announcing his search for ragtime items not already in his collection he was looking for an original Sedalia copy of Joplin’s Maple Leaf Rag Bob planned to spend a week in Sedalia around the memorial concerts The concerts were a resounding success and included appearances by Joplin colleagues Arthur Marshall retired Sedalia newspaperman and musician in the Queen City Concert Band [For an account of these concerts and the work of the Memorial Foundation, see: Before The Scott Joplin Ragtime Festival. For more information on Tom Ireland, see: Tom Ireland’s Clarinet] A very important guest at the concerts was Trebor Tichenor from St Louis who along with Darch interviewed Arthur Marshall after the programs and Darch acquired several pieces of original ragtime sheet music from Marshall Tichenor was to begin a series of ragtime festivals on the Goldenrod Showboat in 1964 Trebor wrote of Bob Darch in a 1961 Missouri Historical Society Bulletin article Ragtime is being kept alive by a handful of collectors The energetic and dedicated “Ragtime” Bob Darch is making intensive efforts to reaffirm ragtime’s popularity and has done more than any one person to establish Missouri in the early development of true ragtime A Sedalia centennial concert in October 1960 brought Bob back to reprise his previous performances the State Fair Secretary announced that Darch would be the summer headliner and perform throughout the fair for the duration of the event In July Bob flew all around the state including a stop in Sedalia promoting the Fair and To no one’s surprise Bob was an enormous hit at the1960 Fair with his brightly painted truck and banner plastered old Cornish upright piano He came to town for a program crowning Sedalia’s Centennial queen in September and he wrote a series of short ragtime biographies for the Sedalia Democrat newspaper to run during the celebration week in October Parades and appearances preceded the October 17 concert where Bob again featured Arthur Marshall and Tom Ireland Marshall introduced his “Missouri Romp” and the program ended with newspaper reporter D Kelly Scruton doing a slow shuffle to Bob’s accompaniment he and Sedalia native Jack Oakie and Arthur Marshall turned a spade where the Scott Joplin/Maple Leaf Rag monument would be erected in 1961 It was a long way from the grand memorials Brun Campbell and Bob Darch had originally proposed but with virtually every original site associated with Sedalia Ragtime demolished it was at least one lasting reminder of the city’s musical heritage It is also important to add that every time Darch visited Sedalia for a featured concert he took the opportunity to play short programs in at least one school and at whatever Civic Clubs were meeting while he was in town It seemed that Sedalia reconnected with its ragtime past about every decade between 1950 and 1980 and most of the resurrections of interests were due to Darch’s interventions My family moved to Sedalia in 1965 and I first became aware of the city’s ragtime background when Darch returned to Sedalia for a 1971 performance with the venerable Sedalia Symphony Orchestra in its 35th season I heard him for the first time that April and had only recently become interested in Joplin and ragtime as I was completing a master’s degree at the college in Warrensburg Conductor and Symphony founder Abe Rosenthal managed an evening program of Beethoven’s Fifth and concluded with Bob’s eclectic ragtime selections Two years later after beginning my teaching career at the segregated African-American Hubbard Elementary School and having attended the first two premieres of Joplin’s opera Treemonisha the Chamber of Commerce adopted a proposal to hold a Scott Joplin Ragtime Festival in the summer of 1974 Bill Hopkins was on the Board and Jake Siragusa was president Bob was of tremendous help in organizing and producing that first event arrangements were made for Bob to do a preliminary concert to excite interest in the festival and raise some urgently needed funds The resulting “Three Generations of Ragtime,” program featured Darch Ragtime musicians from around the country descended on Sedalia Headliners included Director Richard Zimmerman Bob’s performances were of course enthusiastically received by the entire audience but Sedalians literally followed him from venue to venue and couldn’t get enough of his performances The Festivals were produced in 1974 and 1975 but ended due to lack of local interest and funding to the city’s great credit Sedalia not only resurrected the festival in 1983 but conducted a successful campaign to have the U.S Postal Service issue a Scott Joplin stamp with the first day ceremony in Sedalia (see The Syncopated Times was there to promote Joplin and Sedalia and he wrote in an application letter I have always firmly believed that Sedalia simply because of the fact that Scott Joplin and his famous Maple Leaf Rag originated right there at the Maple Leaf Club Besides Scott Joplin and the Maple Leaf Rag and the famous Arthur Marshall composer of “Missouri Romp” and of course “Swipsey Cake Walk.” be the one to introduce the Scott Joplin Memorial Stamp Bob was a frequent headliner at the Joplin festival in the next two decades and in fact he was featured in 2001 and was scheduled for 2003 but he died in October 2002 As the ultimate testimony to Bob’s admiration for Sedalia’s ragtime heritage and the community’s appreciation for him “Ragtime” Bob Darch asked to be buried in Sedalia and he was interred with full military honors in the city’s Crown Hill Cemetery During the 2003 Joplin Ragtime Festival (and at every subsequent annual event to date) a New Orleans style procession made its way to Joplin’s grave and a bottle of Old Crow was passed around in his honor Thomas Cahill declared that the Irish saved Western Civilization and that may be so but ragtime was saved by a handful of performers in the mid-twentieth century and Bob Darch was not only one of those farsighted entertainers he was instrumental in helping Sedalia I have an indelible memory of “Ragtime” Bob in Sedalia at his old piano pounding out a ragtime piece from the thousands in his memorized repertoire He would turn to his audience without skipping a note to offer some historical banter or to sing along with what he was playing the UK’s electorate voted to leave the European Union the morning after remains etched in the memory “I woke up feeling this overwhelming sense of heaviness and the sadness that we’d lost something,” he recounts “It felt like a tipping point into the surreality that was to follow.” The Exeter-based photographer is no stranger to the hinterlands between fact and fiction transformed the swampy mires and stark tors of Dartmoor into a dystopian vision of the near future illustrations and images from his own family history to trace a fictitious Devon village through the seasons These works create imagined narratives from real life But how can photography negotiate a world where reality has become odder than fiction Landscapes and portraits together capture a country racked with tension and suffused with an almost palpable melancholy it felt like I was trying to force it,” recalls Darch “But here it made sense symbolically and aesthetically.” The photographs in The Island were largely taken around the West Country and Darch’s hometown in Birmingham’s commuter belt “It’s important for me to make work where I live,” he says the people.” Several images hark back to English landscape painters such as John Constable or John Northcote Nash though Darch’s England is wintry and solemn rather than resplendent in sun emblematic of Britain’s decision to detach itself from its neighbours Darch invited friends and acquaintances on his walks through countryside and coastline and in a way it becomes a collaboration between me and the person as I’m taking a picture,” he says Some of these figures are rooted in their environment: one man stands on a dramatic cliff while a woman crouches in an overgrown meadow before an austere country house where subjects have their anxieties etched on their faces the section of society most opposed to Brexit Even his most oblique shots thrum with uncertainty I enjoy it when work makes you

A former hostage has spoken of the moment he walked into a Women's Institute meeting to give a talk on international piracy and found the group dressed as pirates Colin Darch said he was amused that members of Parkham WI in North Devon had donned fancy dress for the occasion has written a book about his experience of being kidnapped by pirates in 2008 and often gives talks on the subject The 75-year-old said his hosts had been "embarrassed" by the mix-up I have spoken at a lot of conferences and serious events about the dangers of piracy and how to survive," he said "When I arrived there were ladies with blue rinses wearing pirate hats and waving swords around They had been led to believe it was a talk about piracy through the ages and not something right up to date "I think they were worried I might be a bit upset that they were trivialising it I just laughed and said it was like something from The Pirates of Penzance "They were more embarrassed than me and they asked me to judge the best pirate costume Mr Darch said he tailored his talks to the audience but said he tended to remember the amusing stories from his captivity rather than the terrifying moments "When I was kidnapped the pirates made a schoolteacher go along as well to translate into English," he said "I remember the teacher was shouting down a telephone and he said 'We are going to shoot the hostages And you can put that in your pipe and smoke it'." Darch said he was not offended by the light-hearted gesture and was happy to pose for pictures with the group which was published in the North Devon Journal read: "The speaker at the April meeting was Captain Colin Darch the WI all dressed as pirates for the evening not realising that Captain Darch was going to be talking about his experience of being held hostage by Somalia pirates rather than piracy in general everyone sat down to listen to Captain Darch's story – and what a story it was If you ever get a chance to hear Colin speak grab the opportunity because he is a great raconteur and very humorous."
