About this deal

He wants to bring more ‘real life’ to social media, in an age when so many people present a false image of themselves and seek instant gratification. I say it as it is,” he continued. “But many men especially feel like they can’t talk about their feelings and this needs to change.” During the Q and A at the film premiere, the subject of the 'upside of addiction' came to light. SHINNy is certain that an addictive personality can be a huge positive, if channelled in the right direction. "It [addiction] can manifest itself in other areas. It drives you and boosts the ego." It was whilst he was in rehab that he began writing songs and last year took on the charts with a song called Christmas Number 1. That takes a big brave person. What’s more, he’s turned his own dark experiences into a positive platform.

The now famous studios have also played host to many of the world’s biggest artists including Oasis, Iggy Pop and Simple Minds. SHINNy feels that the film may head in a slightly more esoteric direction as it develops into a full-length movie ..."We think it's going to be a bit more psychedelic and spiritual; similar to The Doors". We are now looking at an area title and hope to get that sorted soon. It's a definite possibility for Shinny because he's a good fighter."This is why the whole range is both easy on the eye and extremely durable, says the company, making them perfect for both leisurely strolls and high-intensity workouts, such as CrossFit.

He said: "I was finding my feet a bit in the first round and getting used to it again but after that I was trying to get at him. He kept holding which made it difficult to land any telling punches. IT'S a case of one down and many more to go for James 'Shinny' Davenport after his victorious return to the ring. SHINNy represented Leeds Rhinos and his hometown club Salford Reds. After a career in rugby, he became a professional boxer. In his final bout, SHINNy boxed at the MEN Arena on the undercard of the legendary Joe Calzaghe vs. Jeff Lacy bout.

Customer reviews

Initially, SHINNy took a light-hearted approach and had used his channel to promote his charity Christmas single Christmas No.1. Soon these broadcasts gained massive popularity. A key feature amidst the promotional work and humour was SHINNy's heart-on-the-sleeve openness when discussing his demons. These conversations became an integral aspect and the shows started to reach out to sufferers of anxiety, depression and addiction. Hanky Park are also known for a cover of Joy Division’s Love Will Tear Us Apart, featuring Hook playing his original bass parts, which has been adopted as an anthem by the Salford Reds. The 37-year-old father-of-two named his band after the Hanky Park area of Pendleton, which is now known as Salford Precinct. Chris Greenhalgh, the founder of I Love MCR®, said: “What’s not to love about SHINNy? A down-to-earth character who’s not afraid to put his hand up and admit his failures. A man who’s been there, done that, and now faces his demons with an open mind – and he’s not afraid to share his vulnerabilities and mental health with the world.

I’d be in people’s houses, dressed in their clothes,” he revealed. “I’ve had hallucinations in the street and paranoia. Jamie calls me a freak because of how fit I am – and people tend not to believe me when I say I’m over 30. Shinny has a number of high profile fans. Tina Malone from Shameless and Happy Mondays star Bez feature in the video for the Christmas single – and he’s been on BBC Radio Manchester too. His first feature film, Best Laid Plans, starred Maxine Peake and Stephen Graham. His latest film, Strangeways Here We Come, starred Michelle Keegan in her first film role as well as Bafta winners Lauren Socha and Chanel Cresswell.Foster Senior said: "It's one down and many more to go. We are very pleased with the win and thought he was on top throughout. Two ghosts of John Lewis' Christmas TV advert past have reached the summit on the Official Chart; can it go all the way this year and claims the Official Christmas Number 1? The act behind this year's song - a cover of Randy Crawford's One Day I'll Fly Away - is South London trio Vaults, but the real star of the trailer itself is Buster the Boxer. Aww. What is important is that they feel positive in their day to day lives, and we’re also over the moon to be helping such a fantastic charity like Get Fit 4 Mental Wellness in the process.” Thousands of people in Salford have been involved in one way or another with the Star and we'd like to thank them all. Salford is a very special city and, hopefully, we've given it a very special community publication.

He’s keen to talk about the help that he’s had along the way. Recovery fellowships and meetings have played a big part – and music too. Since then, THe SHINNy SHOw LIVe has grown into The RECOVERy Channel, with hosts including fitness and mental health advocates, such as Manuel Benages, founder of mental health charity Get Fit 4 Mental Wellness and inspirational speaker. We are almost at the final closure of the Salford Star but we write this article as a warning to others who may follow on the pitfalls of founding a genuine publication that aims to give the community a voice and hold public bodies up to account.Get the latest updates from across Greater Manchester direct to your inbox with the free MEN newsletter
