How to display article title in header.php

Hi

I'm building a new template using t3 bs3 blank and have most areas set-up, but one is really baffling me. In the design the article title has been placed in the header area, just beneath the menu, separate from the article text.

The header uses a background image so ideally I need to get the article title code into the header file but cannot work out how to get it to display. I've been playing around with the file plugins > system > t3 > base bs3 > html > layouts > joomla > content > item_title.php...
