Man recovers in hospital after impaled neck accident at Lincoln quarry

Two buskers performed together for only the second time ever as they wowed Lincoln shoppers, along with a local singing window cleaner on Friday.

Brad Ryan, 23, from Sheffield and a Glasgow-born singer known as Adum, 21, have been in contact with each other for three years due to their love of music.

They met in person for the first time recently before singing together in Leicester on Wednesday. Their voices harmonised together on the streets of Lincoln on Friday, before a local window cleaner got involved.

Brad and Ryan sang several songs together including Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi and Stay by Rhianna.

Lincoln window cleaner Sam Wright had watched the two singers on Brad’s TikTok account, which has 500,000 followers, and decided to head down into the city centre to get involved.

The 22-year-old impressed passers by and those watching with his rendition of Safe Inside by James Arthur.

The Red Arrows have released a behind-the-scenes video showing how the team got on in Greece for their yearly training mission, featuring support from a range of units and bases.

The Red Arrows are currently on a five-week pre-season training exercise in Greece known as Springhawk.

The aim of Exercise Springhawk is to “perfect, polish and prepare a world-class, dynamic and safe show”. Greece’s fine weather allows for up to three flights a day.

The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team also showcased an impressive huge team loop, which is part of their new arrival manoeuvre for their 2021 shows.

The annual overseas training allows the Red Arrows to take advantage of more settled weather conditions, with a high-tempo of flying.

A teenage drug dealer was brought to justice after police raided a flat and found crack cocaine and heroin, Lincoln Crown Court was told on Friday.

Officers obtained a warrant to enter the two-bed property in Riverside Close, Sleaford, in January and carried out a search.

Phil Howes, prosecuting, said that 98 wraps of crack cocaine and 12 wraps of heroin were found in a shoulder bag belonging to teenager Genial Vansi who was staying with the tenant of the flat, Daniel Terry.

Mr Howes said: “This was a street dealing operation of Vansi who had come over from Birmingham and was staying at the flat with Terry.

“It was a beneficial arrangement for both of them. It gave Vansi a base and it gave Terry the availability of drugs as recompense.

“There were scales in the property and the usual indicators of drug dealing. There was also a significant amount of cash which came to £875.”

When Vansi was interviewed he admitted he had been selling drugs in Sleaford during the three week period leading up to his arrest.

Damian Sabino, for Vansi, said the teenager was of previous good character and made admissions when he was interviewed by police.

He said that Vansi became involved in selling drugs after running up a debt for cannabis he was using.

Michael Cranmer-Brown, for Terry, was a long-standing addict who was homeless for a number of years before he obtained his flat.

He said that Terry was working to kick his habit and welcomed the structured support network that will be available to him if he is given a community order.

Vansi, 18, who was living at Terry’s flat at the time, admitted two charges of supplying drugs between January 1 and 22 this year and two charges of possession of drugs with intent to supply.

He was given a two year custodial sentence suspended for two years with a rehabilitation activity requirement of up to 20 days and a three month electronically monitored night-time curfew.

Terry, 42, of Riverside Close, Sleaford, admitted two charges of permitting premises to be used for the supply of drugs. He was given a two year community order with a drug rehabilitation requirement for nine months and a rehabilitation activity requirement of up to 25 days.
