Black Honey headlined a superb Friday night of live music that the sold-out crowd at Sheffield’s Picture House Social won’t be forgetting in a hurry.
Chesterfield 1-1 Blackpool – League 1
Jay O’Shea’s wonder strike earned Chesterfield a point against fellow relegation strugglers Blackpool on Tuesday evening.
An action-packed first half saw the woodwork hit on no less than four occasions, three of which came from the visitors, but it remained goalless until the break.
Brad Potts opened the scoring in the 54th minute thanks to a big deflection that helped his hopeful effort lob the goalkeeper from range.
But the lead lasted only four minutes before O’Shea’s stunning effort found the top corner to earn his side a point.

Chesterfield 3-1 Crewe Alexandra – League 1
Chesterfield-born Connor Dimaio scored on his Spireites home debut to help Chesterfield to a 3-1 victory over fellow strugglers Crewe Alexandra.
The hosts got off to a perfect start with two goals in the opening twelve minutes from attacking duo Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and Lee Novak.
Zoumana Bakayogo pulled one back for Crewe shortly before the half-hour, but Dimaio’s dream moment early in the second half regained the two-goal advantage and earned the Spireites only their fourth home win of the season.

King Charles – Live at The Leadmill, Sheffield
King Charles thrilled a large crowd at Sheffield’s Leadmill on the second night of his UK tour following the release of his new album ‘Gamble For A Rose’.

I sat down with bassist Erik Chandler before the band headlined the O2 Academy to find out why they decided to come back and more about this hugely popular band.
Chesterfield 0-1 Peterborough United – League 1
Tom Nichols’ debut goal earned nine-man Peterborough United victory over Chesterfield on a dramatic afternoon at the Proact Stadium.
After a goalless and hard-fought first half, Nichols poked home the opener in the 55th minute. Just three minutes later, hopes of a Spireites comeback were improved when Michael Smith was shown a second yellow card.
But despite all the home pressure, and further depletion for the Posh when Ricardo Santos was sent off, the visitors managed to desperately cling on for all three points on another miserable afternoon for Chesterfield.
