Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticA new venue set to open in the Nashville area in early 2023, Timberhawk Hall, is looking to bring concertgoers slightly outside of town to an area that hasn’t seen much live music activity, the city of Madison, with a rootsy vibe in an almost barn-like setting.The concert hall, whose plans have been known to the local music community for a while but were just announced Thursday, will have a capacity of 1,000 attendees standing or 600 seated. It’s located a few miles northeast of downtown Nashville, in a suburban area of an incorporated historic city that some have characterized as “the next East Nashville,” both for its next-door status to the latter community and the number of musicians moving there.
They terrorised families and ruined lives. Now they've finally got a job

"You can't do graft and have empathy." The words are spoken by Mark, as he explains how he felt no emotion as he committed crimes - whether it was holding up a Post Office with an imitation gun, or terrorising families in Asian gold burglaries.
He has just been released from a jail sentence of more than a decade. Since his childhood he has known only one profession, crime. But, for the first time in his life he now has a job.
Aged 39, he is one of 30 ex-offenders who have been given a chance to walk a different path. They have been referred to a charity based on an inner-city Salford estate. For some it is more of a last chance than second chance.

Institutionalised by years - even decades behind bars, and unable to escape the lure of "easy money", the trappings that go with it, and the adrenalin rush of risk-taking, for these criminals the Broughton Trust is their final hope.
For two years now, even through the pandemic, its Jobs not Prison scheme has sliced through red-tape to get ex-cons work, a fast-track route to self respect, and an alternative to the revolving door of jail, release, taking up where they left off, and back to jail.
Project manager, Graham Cooper, concedes that guiding Mark to a life outside of crime will be difficult. But he has now been in a job for two weeks with a housing association which is geared up to help ex-offenders.
It's a big step for someone who, despite coming from a loving family, had given up on school by the age of 11.
"My first conviction was at the age of 12 for theft, then I progressed to house burglaries, then street robberies, car crime. From 13 to 14 I was nicking cars. At the age of 14 I was a driver - we were nicking cars to use to commit other crimes," he says.

Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Swap Shows in Late-Night April Fools Trick
