I have been preaching about ACS for a while now – a dedicated hearing conservation company that claims to produce the ‘ultimate listening experience’ in the shape of its custom-fit in ear monitors. I have owned a pair of ACS custom-fit earplugs for quite some time now, and wouldn’t even consider entering a club without them in, but up to now I have had to take the word of every journalists and musician I’ve hooked ACS up with regarding the unbeatable clarity of sound and comfort of it’s in ear monitors.

For months PUNK has been securing features in titles such as Stuff, Zoo, Sunday Times, Runners World to Mixmag, DJ Mag and even Poker Player Magazine, with journalist reviews including words such as ‘revolutionary’, ‘miraculous’, unbelievable’.

With prices ranging from £220 – £600, I’ve always considered them a pure luxury item – something I’d love to own, but could live without – how wrong was I?! As a result of that foamy stuff squirted in my ears two weeks previously to create the moulds of my ears, I am now the proud owner of a pair of PUNK branded T2s, as used by the likes of Lily Allen, U2, The Prodigy, Eddie Halliwell and Judge Jules to name a few.

When I plugged them in to my ipod and set upon my usual treadmill run, I discovered what all the fuss is about. These strange looking creations that fit snugly in my lugholes, produce sound like I’ve never heard it before. I become deaf to the world due to the complete noise isolation they give, but NOT to the music. When that comes – WOW! The dynamic range, the richness, the pure power.

The driving bassline that could keep me driving for days, the words of the songs all become clear – so Michael Jackson was never singing “You’re a vegetable, I love you”?! – truly unbelievable sound, and they look really cool too, with the option of having any design you want, or just simple discrete clear.

They’re not cheap, but you can’t put a price on your hearing, and these enable you to enjoy music safely and to the full! If you love music, these are essential and well worth every penny. What a Christmas present they’d make! I’m in love!

As well as fronting the new-look cast on the latest Ministry of Sound Pump It Up fitness DVD, Dominique Tipper is also a backing dancer on the current series of cult entertainment show The X Factor.

The most flexible and multitalented lady in showbiz was recently sandwiched between Jedward on Big Band Week when they sang (I use that word lightly) ‘She Bangs’ by Ricky Martin.

The lovely Miss Tipper has also starred alongside Joe Mcelderry who represent the boys in Cheryl Cole’s category and Ollie Mur who represents the over 25s in Simon Cowell’s category.

Keep your eyes peeled for her this Saturday!

Gok Wan presents ‘How to Look Good Naked‘ the inspirational fashion series that shows women how to look fantastic with their clothes on or off no matter what their body shape – and all without a surgeon’s scalpel in sight. He was in Manchester Arndale last week filming the new series and PUNK took the opportunity to introduce him to fashion client Forever Unique.

Gok took time out from his busy filming schedule to have a chat with us backstage and look at some of the garments we took along to show him.

Our efforts were rewarded as Gok decided to ditch one of the outfits he’d chosen in favour of a Forever Unique one.

He’s lovely on TV but is even nicer in real life and looked fabulous in his black bowler hat.

We love you Gok!
