    Yell! was a British pop duo who had a hit single in 1990 with a cover of "Instant Replay".

    Overview

    Yell! consisted of singers Paul Varney and Daniel James. In 1989 they were put together by manager Jeff Chegwin and were signed by Simon Cowell to Fanfare Records. Their first single, a cover version of Dan Hartman's disco track, "Instant Replay", was produced by Nigel Wright and mixed by Pete Hammond from PWL . In January 1990 it entered the UK singles chart and peaked at No.10, giving the duo instant attention in the pop press and a large teen fanbase. Soon after this however, scandal hit the act as newspaper reports emerged that member Daniel James' real name was Colin Heywood who was in fact 32 years old, rather than the 23 he claimed to be. James at first denied the age claim, but member Paul Varney later admitted this to be true and said it was a mistake to try and conceal the fact.

    Their follow-up releases both missed the UK Top 75. "One Thing Leads to Another" released in June 1990 reached number 81, and a cover of "Let's Go Round Again" (produced by Nigel Wright) released in September 1990 reached number 78. The duo recorded an album, Let's Go!, but this only saw a release in Japan in 1991. Soon after this the duo disbanded. Varney went onto release some solo singles which proved unsuccessful, but became a successful songwriter, composing the UK entry for the 1999 Eurovision Song Contest, "Say It Again", which was a UK top 10 hit. James embarked on an acting career.

    Scouting

    Scouting or the Scout Movement is a movement that aims to support young people in their physical, mental and spiritual development, that they may play constructive roles in society, with a strong focus on the outdoors and survival skills. During the first half of the 20th century, the movement grew to encompass three major age groups for boys (Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Rover Scout) and, in 1910, a new organization, Girl Guides, was created for girls (Brownie Guide, Girl Guide and Girl Scout, Ranger Guide). It is one of several worldwide youth organizations.

    In 1906 and 1907 Robert Baden-Powell, a lieutenant general in the British Army, wrote a book for boys about reconnaissance and scouting. Baden-Powell wrote Scouting for Boys (London, 1908), based on his earlier books about military scouting, with influence and support of Frederick Russell Burnham (Chief of Scouts in British Africa), Ernest Thompson Seton of the Woodcraft Indians, William Alexander Smith of the Boys' Brigade, and his publisher Pearson. In the summer of 1907 Baden-Powell held a camp on Brownsea Island in England to test ideas for his book. This camp and the publication of Scouting for Boys are generally regarded as the start of the Scout movement.

    Yell, Shetland

    Yell is one of the North Isles of Shetland, Scotland. In the 2011 census it had a usually resident population of 966. It is the second largest island in Shetland after the Mainland with an area of 82 square miles (212 km2), and is the third most populous in the archipelago (fifteenth out of the islands in Scotland), after the Mainland and Whalsay.

    The island's bedrock is largely composed of Moine schist with a north-south grain, which was uplifted during the Caledonian mountain building period.Peat covers two thirds of the island to an average depth of 1.5 metres (5 feet).

    Yell has been inhabited since the Neolithic times, and a dozen broch sites have been identified from the pre-Norse period. Norse rule lasted from the 9th to 14th centuries until Scottish control was asserted. The modern economy of the island is based on crofting, fishing, transport and tourism. The island claims to be the "Otter Capital of Britain" and has a diverse bird life including breeding populations of great and Arctic skuas.
