Set up camp at Eden Court. . .
Well, they do seem to have an unearthly amount of entertainment on offer
this month - like a whole year from ten years ago rolled into just four weeks. Crazy
stuff ‒ but really good ‒ so, were serious, dry off the tent, unfurl the sleeping
bags and dig out yer thermal jammies (oh, you already did that) and hotfoot it
down to Eden Courts lovely lawns and set up shop. Itll be like the whole Occupy
thing - only colder, wetter and with less dogs on strings (dont think Im being
condescending - we dont even have a string for our dog). . .
Okay, to be fair, its not just the Court thats got it going on in October - theres
plenty of magic to be had elsewhere as well. A summary of the plunder to be
found within our lovely lithe leaves of leisure:
Art: Look out for Hock·Aun Teh at Kilmorack Gallery and two ace shows at
IG:LU - cigarbox instruments and cartoons from Donald 1ack and awesome
biographical illustrations from 5alty Philip (Lynn MacPherson). And perhaps
most unusual of all, a happening relating to the Nazis Entartete Kunst show
ridiculing modern art (that proved more popular than their own pompous Great
German Art Exhibit) - Entartet takes place at appointed times at... oh, Eden
Courts OneTouch theatre.
Film: Notable shows for the month include The Filth 5tate - in which hottie
Benedict Cumberbatch (dont argue) fops around as Julian Assange, Ender's
6ame, the Malik-esque Ain't Them ßodies 5aints, Karen Who? Gillans newie
Not Another Happy Ending, plus the rather scary prospect of the Proclaimers
musical turned movie, 5unshine 0n Leith, and particular attention should be
reserved for the Thrillseekers Adventure Film Festival at. . . Eden Court
Kids: A whole swathe of Halloween events are on - but helpfully early and
weekend-based is the councils own extravaganza, The 6reat 6host Train Crash
at Ness Islands - see pages 10 & 11. The lnshes Adventure Park opens (see p14)
and two other shows to watch: SDTs lnnocence Unplugged at the Craigmonie
Centre and Scottish Operas intriguing 5ensory0 at - you know where. . .
Music: Get all excited with pop-emoters ßastille, or with the ßay City kollers
(Story), Vivaldi out with La 5erenissima, fiddle up with ßlazin' in ßeauly, or
check out the new heirs to the Scot-rock crown, Fatherson, at. . . Ironworks !
5pecials: Hone your survival skills with Ray Mears (yes, Eden. . .) 5port: The Culloden
17.46K and Aviemore half marathon plus El Kessocko - again.
Theatre: Heaps. Seriously it wont all fit here - go to p32 right now. Now!
Just to good to be true. . . Check out whatsonhighlands.com

ART
The Art of Diversity
Some splendid art at KILMORACK
GALLERY this month with three different
artists all presenting vivaciously dynamic
work that may be different in style, but
share an assured appeal.
Malaysian born HOCK-AUN TEH [1] came
to Scotland to study at the Glasgow School
of Art in the early 1970s, a time when he
also founded the martial art, Tukido. To
Hock-Aun events as diverse as dancing
outside a temple or watching a squirrel
in his garden are distilled into expressive
feelings of energy, communicated with an impressive abstract expressionist style. In recent
times Teh has had notable success in South East Asia with work that bridges eastern and
western art, so this is a long awaited opportunity to see more of this artists work in his
adopted country of Scotland.
MADELINE MACKAY’s work centres around the Northern Landscape and the creatures
that live there, the animals and archaeology in her etchings and prints giving them a
timeless quality and great promise. It’s no surprise that having only graduated last year,
she already has a host of awards to her name.
Edinburgh based ALAN MCGOWAN creates work that explores the body through paint. His
natural draftsmanship (which has won McGowan many prestigious illustrative contracts)
and his familiarity with his regular life models gives his work huge freedom and allow him
to constantly explore fresh ground, pushing paint in new ways. His show, like those of
Mackay and Hock-Aun run until 26 OCT. More details at www.kilmorackgallery.co.uk
In truth we’re not quite sure whether ENTARTET (EDEN COURT ONETOUCH, 16-19 OCT)
is art or theatre. It’s probably both, which is no bad thing. And the inspiration behind it is
fascinating.
“75 years ago an infamous exhibition opened in Munich. It ridiculed the Modern Art on
display and marked their creators as degenerate - and dangerous. Entartet uses original
text from the exhibition’s guidebook to create an audio guide to an empty spaces. It creates
an environment to imagine an infamous event and the world in which it took place.”
Entartet is experienced like an exhibition; audience members enter and exit in their own
time. On average the experience lasts around 30 minutes. Max 8 people in the installation
space at any one time.
Feeling brave enough to give it a go? Could be rewarding..

Fri 20 Sep–04 Oct 11am–4pm. Mothertongue
is a newly formed artist collective based
in Elgin whose mediums vary – painting,
photography, installation and performance –
featuring MATTHEW GORDON WELLS, SAM
LAWSON, KRISTA WRIGHT, HANNAH BLACK &
CHARIS EDWARD WELLS.

Event #61: SALTY PHILIP ILLUSTRATIONS
(aka Lynn Macpherson)
Fri 11–FRI 25 Oct 11am–4pm
Show from Dublin-based illustrator specialising
in digital prints. Each piece in the show is a
little snippet of something that has happened
in Lynn’s life this year. “I’ve never been into
broadcasting my entire life over social network
sites and let’s face it, we all know someone
who loves to tell you when they’ve had a bad
dream or if work is particularly slow that day…
I had the idea that instead of arbitrarily typing
what was going on in life, I would take the
time to draw a not very literal representation
(because that would be boring) of what was
going on. There is something for most people
to relate to in them because they’re open to
interpretation and comes from a very honest
place… But don’t ever ask me who they’re
about!” A real talent not to miss.

Event #62: THE ADVENTURES OF CIGARBOX
DON Mon 28 Oct–Mon 11 Nov, 11am–4pm
Mixed show from one of the Highlands’ more
eclectic creatives, Donald Jack. At time of
print we know this show will include unique
musical instruments, prints of a self-featuring
cartoon strip and live performance. To be more
specific: 12+ wall-hung instruments (eg, cigar-
box guitar & fiddle, wine-box bass, dog-bowl
banjo…), a series of prints of posters, graphics,
photographs & info sheets related to cigarbox
guitars, performances in the large room,
up to 20 cartoon strips, with the endearing
adventures of DON. And at least one gig.
“Since starting to make musical instruments
from recycled materials in 2011, my creative
endeavours have led me to new experiences;
taken unexpected turns and I have found
myself in some magical places.”

This time of year brings not only a welter of TV designed to keep you hooked through the
winter months, but also a whole heap of film releases aiming at more than just the school
holiday audience, many with their eyes on potential Oscars.
FILTH (EDEN COURT, FRI 18–THU 24 OCT) is most definitely a “grown up” film. We told you
a couple of months back about James McAvoy’s excellent performance as an alco-cop in
the long awaited screen adaptation of Irvine Welsh’s book and now you get the chance to
see for yourself just how good it is. Probably not one for the oscars, mind…
AIN’T THEM BODIES SAINTS [1] (EC, 11–17 OCT) is one of those films tipped to pick up
Oscars, thanks to impressive performances from ROONEY MARA and CASEY AFFLECK,
plus a gorgeous cinematic canvas created by director David Lowery. With echoes of
Terence Malick’s Badlands, Lowery (who also edited Shane Carruth’s recent Upstream
Colour), ensures this tale of a released Texas criminal reuniting with his wife and son is
more than just schmaltzy drama.
Unfortunately “schmaltzy” is just the description being bandied about regarding NOT
ANOTHER HAPPY ENDING [2] (EC 25 OCT–05 NOV), in which our very own KAREN GILLAN
plays a Glasgow author trying to overcome writer’s block. We bow to no-one in our devotion
to the glorious Ms Gillan, but hopefully her host of forthcoming projects will do more justice
to her undoubted talents than this lightweight romantic affair.
More misguided script choices from a fine actress as NAOMI WATTS takes on the title role
of the doomed princess in DIANA (EC 04–10 OCT). Already picking up the worst reviews of
the year, we’d call it car crash cinema unless, well, you know… Amazingly, it’s directed by
Oliver Hirschbiegel, who made the excellent Downfall.
Watts and Gillan would do well to work with one of the brightest new talents in American
cinema, LAKE BELL. She wrote, directed and stars in IN A WORLD… [3] (EC, 25–27 & 30
OCT) about a father and daughter competing in the world of movie voiceovers, an unusual
pretext for a film that’s being raved about by those in the know. Very much a talent to watch.
Closer to home, SUNSHINE ON LEITH (EC, 04-24 OCT) is Dexter Fletcher’s screen
adaptation of the play (which you might have seen at Eden Court) set to the music of The
Proclaimers. The reliable PETER MULLEN and Marmite JANE HORROCKS star in the story
of friends struggling to adapt to life outside the army.
A quick word for the THRILLSEEKERS ADVENTURE FILM FESTIVAL 2013 (EC, THU 17,
THU 24 & THU 31 OCT), returning for its third year with the best in extreme sports and
adventure flicks. See adventurefest.co.uk for the full line up…

Never let it be said that entertainment for kids doesn’t cover the cultural waterfront, as this month’s
offerings demonstrate. On 12 & 13 OCT for example, in EDEN COURT’S JIM LOVE STUDIO, Scottish
Opera are putting on SENSORYO which takes you on a train ride through the jungle to meet a friendly
lion who sleeps under the stars. The set is inviting and tactile, with its unique audience in mind, and
the show features a mix of live and recorded vocals and exciting percussive sounds to inspire the
imagination and bring the adventure to life.
Without wanting to be too judgemental, we’re pretty sure the audience for the above would also be
interested in INNOCENCE UNPLUGGED from SCOTTISH DANCE THEATRE at CRAIGMONIE CENTRE
on SAT 19 OCT at 11am. An exciting opportunity for 0–7 year olds (and their adults!), to enter a
realm of mystery, fun and adventure, it’s a unique performance playroom where the audience
explore William Blake’s Songs of Innocence as children are invited to dance on an interactive journey
of theatre, story and live music choreographed by Fleur Darkin.
Just as eagerly awaited, if a tad more populist is that latest visit to EDEN COURT by THE SINGING
KETTLE with a show called RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE running from 18–20 OCT. Much-loved Cilla has
left the entourage, with Anya joining Gary and Kevin in the new line-up. As for the show itself, Bonzo the
Dog causes pandemonium with his mischievous monkeying around as the intrepid explorers uncover
hilarious surprises under thousands of funky ferns and behind every banana tree. This non-stop, ‘totally
awesome’ safari adventure is your archetypal festival of fun for girls and boys of all ages. Remember -
Come dressed as your favourite wild animal to sing along with the sounds of the jungle.

Inshes Community Association (a company limited by guarantee) set up a year ago,
chaired by former councillor Roy Pederson, to oversee plans to develop a high quality
adventure and activity park at Inshes. They applied to both the Inverness Common
Good Fund and the Sport Scotland ‘Active Places’ fund and have raised over £300,000
for this first stage of the project.
This phase is now complete and the Fun Day Launch is the public’s first chance to come
and see the exciting new adventure park first-hand.
There are a further two phases of this extensive and ambitious project planned -
stretching from Sir Walter Scott Drive right up to Milton of Leys - which will ultimately
result in a really extensive facility for the city. The council have already spent over £1m
on infrastructure for the area. The belief is that the adventure play area - complete with
climbing walls, parkour area and artificial pitches, etc, will act as a gateway into sport for
many of the city’s young inhabitants.

UK based but hailing from Bridgetown, Western
Australia, EMILY BARKER is a compelling singer-
songwriter, who with her band The Red Clay Halo
blends classical, rock, country and folk influences
rather nicely. She’s released four critically acclaimed
albums, the latest being ‘Dear River’, played a string
of sold-out UK dates, performed with Frank Turner
at the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony
and written the award winning themes to hit BBC
dramas Wallander and The Shadow Line. But what
we wanted to know, is just which songs give her
goosebumps? Here’s what she told us, ahead of
her IRONWORKS gig on SAT 12 OCT:
I AUSTIN LUCAS - Fountain of Youth
Last year I had the pleasure of touring with Chuck Ragan
on his collaborative ‘Revival Tour’ involving four other
singer-songwriters. During our 6 weeks together on the
road we discovered all the musicians we already had in
common, as well as those we which we hadn’t yet met but
were bound to any day now due to the community having
grown further through our friendships. Austin Lucas is one
of these people. He’s toured and recorded with Chuck on
numerous occasions so I got around to listening to his
music and was completely blown away! This song is from
the record ‘Somebody Loves You’ and sits amongst many
other country gems. Beautiful, unique melodies and lyrics,
gorgeous close harmonies, pedal steel and fiddle. Can’t
stop listening to this record.
I CRAZY ARM - Remembrance
I recently met an incredible Devon-based punk band called
Crazy Arm at Chagstock Festival. We’d heard of each other
through the music grapevine thanks to both of us having
toured with Frank Turner. Anyway, we swapped CDs as
well as they gave me a copy of their forthcoming acoustic
record ‘The Southern Wild’ (out 23rd Sept on Xtra Mile). I
particularly love the song ‘Remembrance’ with its Crosby,
Stills, Nash style harmony intro and I’m also a big sucker
for the major to minor chord change in there!
I THE NATIONAL - Don’t Swallow the Cap
I love The National’s new record ‘Trouble Will Find Me’.
Genius and obtuse lyrics, great melodies, different time
signatures, great production. I think this is my favourite
song on the album but ‘I Need My Girl’ is a close
contender!
I WILCO - Jesus, etc.
Wilco are one of those bands that friends have
recommended I listen to for years but for some reason
I’ve only just got around to it recently. This song kills me
with its stripped-back production and simple melody. It’s
the lyric “you were right about the stars” that got under my
skin instantly and everything just fell into place from there.
I LINDA THOMPSON - Day After Tomorrow
This is a Tom Waits cover from his album ‘Real Gone’
but I first heard the Linda Thompson version on her
record ‘Versatile Heart’. Recently I was invited by Dermot
O’Leary to be a part of his ‘Choir of Angels’ collaboration
which involves going into the Maida Vale BBC studio and
recording a cover song to a theme. This session’s theme
was War Songs, so I chose ‘Day After Tomorrow’. The
lyrics make me cry every single time I hear them. It’s an
anti-war song in the form of a letter written by a soldier
back home to his family in America. “What I miss you
won’t believe, shovelling snow and raking leaves” - talking
of all the things he took for granted about home and family
and safety. Things which seem so vital when miles
away on a battle field praying to see another day
in this world. It’s a stunning piece of songwriting. 15

CLUBBING CLASSICAL FOLK JAZZ/WORLD ROCK
There’s a major retro vibe to musical proceedings, even in ostensibly fresh new
combos like BASTILLE [1] (IRONWORKS, 28 OCT) who seem to be particularly popular
in Scotland for some reason, perhaps because they mix the kind of bouncy electropop
that Calvin Harris does so well with unashamedly big choruses that wouldn’t have been
out of place with the likes of Deacon Blue. It’s proving a successful formula, so much
so that the gig is sold out, so your only hope is returns if you want to go.
STEVE MASON [2] (IRONWORKS, 24 OCT) has a hugely influential body of work with The
Beta Band under his belt and hopefully he’ll reprise some of those glories at his gig, as well
as demonstrating with his new stuff that he’s one of the most imaginative and unusual
songwriters around, bringing real panache to the whole man-with-guitar thing.
It’s very much back to past glories for BAY CITY ROLLERS STORY [3] (EDEN COURT, 04
OCT), which isn’t some sort of theatrical analysis of teenybop, but in fact the new name for
Rollers front man LES MCKEOWN’S touring enterprise. Litigation has obviously resulted
in his chosen name for proceedings, but, rest assured, hits will come thick and fast and
perhaps grandmothers in the audience will drag their tartan-hemmed trews from the back
of the cupboard.
Sometimes, with line-up changes, it’s hard to tell when an original band ends and a tribute
act begins, but THE DRIFTERS [4] (EDEN COURT, 03 OCT) and WISHBONE ASH [5]
(IRONWORKS, 26 OCT) are, at least nominally, the real thing. Though you’ll get no less
pleasure from a host of homages including THE MAGIC OF THE BEATLES (STRATHPEFFER
PAVILION, 02 OCT), LIVEWIRE AC/DC (IRONWORKS, 05 OCT), T–REXTASY (STRATHPEFFER
PAVILION, 01 NOV) and ABBA PARTY NIGHT (EDEN COURT, 01 NOV).
And there are more competing claims to authenticity with THREE PHANTOMS [6] (EDEN
COURT EMPIRE, 22/23 OCT) as a trio of performers who’ve played the titular role join a strong
cast for a night of Lloyd Webber’s finest tunes, while LA SERENISSIMA [7] (EDEN COURT, 13
OCT) is as retro as it comes, being an evening of Vivaldi from the eighteenth century.
Perhaps best to end with a burst of something more modern, so we’ll heartily recommend
Scotland’s finest young band FATHERSON [8] at IRONWORKS on 27 OCT, a special Mental

EVIL EDISON and LAST SUMMER EFFECT among others and the welcome return of the STATE

CLUBBING CLASSICAL FOLK JAZZ/WORLD ROCK
There’s a major retro vibe to musical proceedings, even in ostensibly fresh new
combos like BASTILLE [1] (IRONWORKS, 28 OCT) who seem to be particularly popular
in Scotland for some reason, perhaps because they mix the kind of bouncy electropop
that Calvin Harris does so well with unashamedly big choruses that wouldn’t have been
out of place with the likes of Deacon Blue. It’s proving a successful formula, so much
so that the gig is sold out, so your only hope is returns if you want to go.
STEVE MASON [2] (IRONWORKS, 24 OCT) has a hugely influential body of work with The
Beta Band under his belt and hopefully he’ll reprise some of those glories at his gig, as well
as demonstrating with his new stuff that he’s one of the most imaginative and unusual
songwriters around, bringing real panache to the whole man-with-guitar thing.
It’s very much back to past glories for BAY CITY ROLLERS STORY [3] (EDEN COURT, 04
OCT), which isn’t some sort of theatrical analysis of teenybop, but in fact the new name for
Rollers front man LES MCKEOWN’S touring enterprise. Litigation has obviously resulted
in his chosen name for proceedings, but, rest assured, hits will come thick and fast and
perhaps grandmothers in the audience will drag their tartan-hemmed trews from the back
of the cupboard.
Sometimes, with line-up changes, it’s hard to tell when an original band ends and a tribute
act begins, but THE DRIFTERS [4] (EDEN COURT, 03 OCT) and WISHBONE ASH [5]
(IRONWORKS, 26 OCT) are, at least nominally, the real thing. Though you’ll get no less
pleasure from a host of homages including THE MAGIC OF THE BEATLES (STRATHPEFFER
PAVILION, 02 OCT), LIVEWIRE AC/DC (IRONWORKS, 05 OCT), T–REXTASY (STRATHPEFFER
PAVILION, 01 NOV) and ABBA PARTY NIGHT (EDEN COURT, 01 NOV).
And there are more competing claims to authenticity with THREE PHANTOMS [6] (EDEN
COURT EMPIRE, 22/23 OCT) as a trio of performers who’ve played the titular role join a strong
cast for a night of Lloyd Webber’s finest tunes, while LA SERENISSIMA [7] (EDEN COURT, 13
OCT) is as retro as it comes, being an evening of Vivaldi from the eighteenth century.
Perhaps best to end with a burst of something more modern, so we’ll heartily recommend
Scotland’s finest young band FATHERSON [8] at IRONWORKS on 27 OCT, a special Mental
Health Arts & Film Festival event at HOOTANANNY on 31 OCT featuring FURRY VENGEANCE [9],

Lessons In Survival
CLUBS CHARITY MARKETS MUNICIPAL TALKS
There was a time when it seemed like RAY MEARS spent his entire life huddled in some
godforsaken forest clearing collecting water from tree sap, eating ants and generally displaying
the sort of survival skills that appeared to make him nigh on indestructible. Then someone found
out that not only could he do all that, but he was also adept at communicating his enthusiasm for
such behaviour and passing on his talents, resulting in him being the trailblazer (quite possibly
literally) for a whole slew of TV living-off-the-landers. He remains the best though and has even
found time in between his extensive public appearances to indulge in some “outdoor time” in
America and Australia recently. He’ll be telling us all about it as well as recounting some of his
other adventures when he appears at EDEN COURT EMPIRE on 01 OCT. A word of warning though.
He’s been getting a bit grumpy in the press about the leaked revelation that he was called in to
help track down Raoul Moat (and, he believes, even got within twenty feet of him), so best not lob
any questions about that towards him.
Perhaps you could ask him instead if he wants to help deal with navigating NESS
ISLANDS for THE GREAT GHOST TRAIN CRASH on FRI 25 & SAT 26 OCT. That’s the
theme for the latest instalment in what has quickly become a hugely popular Halloween
adventure on the islands, with them transformed each year for a variety of scenarios.
We’ve already had pirates and aliens and this time the pretext is that The Ghost Train
which was on its way to a Halloween Party in Scary Bay has derailed at Ness
Islands and all the ghosts and ghouls have escaped. Luckily, they’re scared
of all kinds of young Fiends, Vampires and Skeletons – so bring your little
monsters down to The Islands to scare them away and help save Inverness.
See p10-11 for more details.

It seemed too good to be true… a
gift from the Gods… there’d have to
be a catch.

I, like probably everyone who’s
written a regular column anywhere
and as I’ve said previously in this
one, have a notion that one day I’ll
write a book. Most likely it will not
be a very long book since, well,
time is moving on and I’ve not even
started it yet, and I haven’t really
got the stamina, perseverance,
talent or inclination to write a
long book. Oh yes, and I’m lazy –
that’ll probably be a major factor
controlling the book’s length too.

Apart from overcoming the inertia
though, the problem for me has
always been the storyline. I believe
this is a fairly essential ingredient
in a book since people like it all to
mean something, lead somewhere
and generally have the whole
beginning… middle… and end
scenario they teach you at school.
I’m not really that good at making
up stories but I feel if someone
gave me the basic narrative I could
expand on it and turn it into a book
which is why I got excited when I
saw the wee sign at the side of the
road. It was nothing fancy, just a
small square of chipboard painted
white inscribed with four words and
a bold red arrow.

“great plot for sale”… it proclaimed.

Following the arrow’s direction led
to a verdant landscape, a few trees,
a nice view of the Black Isle and
about half an acre of field with a
small ruined cottage off to the right
– suddenly it dawns. “You’re selling
a plot of land then”… “err yes.
What did you think – I was selling a
plot for a book? I’d hardly advertise
that on a wee sign at the side
of the road would I? Is that even
something you can buy? Surely if
someone came up with a great plot
for a book they’d just go ahead and
write the book?”

So it was too good to be true, but at
least I got a column out of it, not a
book perhaps but if I put it with the
hundred or so I’ve already written
there’ll at least be enough pages for
a book…

Biggest sporting event of the month in terms of participation is the BAXTER’S LOCH NESS
MARATHON AND FESTIVAL OF RUNNING (29 SEP) which we told you about last month
and which you can find details of at lochnessmarathon.co.uk. If that doesn’t take too
much out of you though, you might want to have a go at the AVIEMORE HIGHLAND HALF
MARATHON & 10K on 13 OCT or the shorter MACDONALD MILE FUN RUN the day before
on 12 OCT. More info on both at aviemorehalfmarathon.org. And, later in the month, on 27
OCT there are the CULLODEN RUNS [1] in aid of Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland. You
can do either the (admirably precise) 17.46K which passes through stunning scenery and
by historic landmarks like Culloden Battlefield, Clava Cairns, River Nairn and the awesome
River Nairn Viaduct, or just the 10K around the perimeter roads of the battlefield.
See chssi.org.uk/culloden for more.
We’d always thought the BLAZIN’ IN BEAULY festival (12–19 OCT) was all about fiddles,
but this year it’s capitalising on the influx of visitors to provide a bit of exercise in the great
outdoors with a CANOEING & ARCHERY TRIP on 13 OCT. Paddle through the stunning
Aigas Gorge as well as an hour and a half of archery on the banks of the River Beauly at
Aigas Golf Course. Transport to and from Beauly included. More at blazininbeauly.com
Now that all that international football nonsense is over for the year, it’s back to the
proper game and the prospect of another EL KESSOCKO as ROSS COUNTY host ICT on
25 OCT. Form is legally obliged to go “out the window” for such meetings, so expect blood,
thunder and goals galore as ICT aim to consolidate their magnificent start to the season
and County try to confirm that their football is good enough for their impressive new-look
stadium.

Autumn is all about heading indoors and there are plenty of opportunities for that this
month with enough theatrical delights to fill an entire issue, not just a page.
Where to begin? Well how about a couple of fun-looking magic shows. MORGAN &
WEST are coming quite a distance for their EDEN COURT show on 26 SEP, all the way
from Victorian times in fact, giving a steampunk vibe to their astounding skills. A couple
of days later, on 28 SEP, ALI COOK [1] is coming to SPECTRUM CENTRE for a special
Carnivale event. One of the finest sleight-of-handers around, he’s written for film and TV,
with the likes of Penn & Teller and Derren Brown utilising his talents.
From magic to comedy with a couple of big names coming to EDEN COURT in the shape
of JACK DEE [2] on 09 OCT and PAUL MERTON [3] (with his IMPRO CHUMS) on 26
OCT. With the whizz-bang of Edinburgh having faded away, now is the time that comics
traditionally undertake mammoth tours, our advantage being that we get to see them
early into their treks before ennui has set in.
You’d prefer a bit of dance? Well presumably DREAMBOYS [4] (EC, 02 OCT) fit into that
category, though you get the feeling that much of the audience will be too busy mopping
their brows to demand too much syncopation. Rather more tasteful is RAPUNZEL [5]
(EC, 11 & 12 OCT), a darkly beautiful show from BALLET LORENT which involves an
impressive roster of collaborators including Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy, Doctor Who
composer Murray Gold and Costume Designer for Game Of Thrones, Michele Clapton.
And talking of big names, there’s none bigger in the ballet world than MATTHEW BOURNE
who appears as part of SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW [6], by DAVID HUGHES
DANCE, a mix of classical ballet, modern dance and storytelling. It’s at CRAIGMONIE
CENTRE on 02 NOV, then at EDEN COURT on 19 NOV.
And the delights keep on coming. Theatrical musts look like being an invigorating
production of A CLOCKWORK ORANGE [7] (EC, 30 & 31 OCT), political drama in WE
WILL BE FREE (EC, 27 OCT) about the Tolpuddle Martyrs, a wordlessly beautiful love
story in TRANSLUNAR PARADISE [8] (EC, 20 OCT), a homecoming performance of the
wonderful TAILOR OF INVERNESS [9] (EC, 30 OCT) and even a witty lecture creation
from DANIEL BYE (EC, 28 OCT) called THE PRICE OF EVERYTHING [10] where we’re all
promised a free glass of milk.
If only there was some sort of electronic medium where you could read much more about
the above as well as all the other shows coming to town…
Well, there is. It’s at www.whatsonhighlands.com. Head there to find out just
why this could well be the best month ever for theatre in Inverness.

THE IDIOT AT THE WALL @ Eden Court
OneTouch, 7.30pm. On a Hebridean island in
the wake of WWI, Sorcha has returned to her
family home. With her is Henry, a visitor from
the south, who arrives to find the modern
world encroaching upon a traditional way of
life. Increasingly bewitched by Sorcha’s sister
Odhran, he is challenged to consider the
power of prophecy over reason. This show,
which was a sell-out at last year’s Fringe, is
both a retelling of a Celtic folk myth and an
examination of the rich, intangible heritage of
Scotland, its stories and songs.

THE DRAWER BOY @ Ardross Community
Hall, 8pm. Part comedy, part mystery, part

tells of Miles, a young actor armed with
a notebook turning up on the doorstep of
farmers Morgan and Angus in rural Ontario,
offering to work in exchange for inspiration of
his play. Miles soon finds himself embroiled in
their complex and intricate personal
histories, as he uncovers a tragic
past, riddled with guilt, secrecy,
heartbreak and loss. Healey’s script is both a
gentle mismatch comedy and a many-layered
play which won huge acclaim when it first

Nest Futon Chair by Karup
Those of you who ever slept on a friends futon in the 80s and woke up in agony
the next morning will be glad to know that some clever people have taken a look
at the whole chair/bed design and come up with something a little different.
I dont know how many interiors articles we have written that contain the words
designed in Denmark , but it seems a lot. And this month I am telling you about the
Nest Futon Chair, designed by a bunch of designers (you can see them below) from
Karup in Denmark, they have come up with a comfortable nest chair which easily
unfolds to become a supportive semicircular mattress. You can join two together to
make a circular bed too (see below).
Very stylish and modern but also comfortable and functional, it was winner of the
Best Product at the Innovation Cup in 2009 and is constructed from a soft yet
durable cotton/polyester twill with high quality foam and batting and it comes in a
wide variety of contemporary fabric colours.
Karup sell all over the world ‒ the UK based online

Hairtrends 201J/14: 5plashlights
New hair trends come and go with the seasons, so if your dip-dye is dying or
your pastel streaks have faded, then you may want to try the latest colour trend
to hit the runways - 5plashlights.
This technique was pioneered by influential US colourist Aura Friedman who is
responsible for last years ubiquitous ombré look and many other trends in hair
colour over the past few years.
Splashlights are a horizontal band of bleached hair that stretches from ear to ear
‒ Anna explained the style as wanting to create the effect that a laser beam is
hitting your hair at a certain spot.
Its an effect that involves painting bleach onto a small horizontal band of hair,
starting with the undermost layers, then covering all the hair above and below
the stripe with a colour close to your natural shade.
Though the initial trend is to contrast colour with a bleached stripe, you can have
many variations. Instead of opting for blonde and a very light contrast colour,
you can have a moderate colour, depending on your preference.
A big advantage to come with Splashlights is that it sits in the middle of your
hair, so your hair can grow out almost five to six inches without it looking like it
needs a touch-up.
This could be a trendsetting hairstyle for those who want to stand out and try a
bolder look for autumn.

The Kitchen ßrasserie
15 Huntly Street, Inverness 01463 259119
Back in 2007 we first reviewed the
recently opened Kitchen, whose
elegant, modern building was one
of the few constructions in recent
years with any apparent sympathy
for its surroundings, immediately
establishing itself as a vibrant
city landmark, photographed by
tourists almost as much as the
castle it overlooks. Or, technically,
underlooks.
Back then the place was packed,
proving instantly as popular as its
sister establishment over the river,
The Mustard Seed, and offering a
similar remarkably affordable set
menu, the selling point that has
made that restaurant so successful.
Economy doesnt necessarily equal
value though and back then The
Kitchen seemed to lack real quality
control, turning out dishes that were
either unashamed demonstrations
of how to work financial margins
(cheap cuts bulked with spuds/
pasta etc) or poorly executed
attempts at sophistication. Our
review of that lunch was hardly a
ringing endorsement.
A lot has changed in six years
though and now, renamed as The
Kitchen ßrasserie, the place is at
the forefront of something of a
restaurant empire with it and The
Mustard Seed joined by four places
in St Andrews and one in Stirling,
all thriving. And, after our lunch, we
could see just why.
Its still, obviously, a beautiful
building and, being so light and
airy, a delightful place in which to
eat, the open glass frontage and
three floors meaning that there are
distinctly different atmospheres to
each part, from social and bustling
on the ground floor, to quieter and
more intimate the higher up you go.
Ours was a prime table right by the
window of the middle floor with
such fine views of the river and
castle that even the empty prefab
monstrosities that will continue to
scar the city skyline until someone
has the guts to obliterate them
couldnt detract from the sight of it
all.
Outside the first sense of
encroaching autumn, so fittingly our
food seemed to echo the seasonality,
with its robust flavours and earthy
reassurance. My companion chose
from the set menu (still a bargain
at £6.95 for two courses), while I
went for the a la carte, priced rather
higher, but offering an interesting
selection ranging from pasta to
meats and fish.
And, it became immediately
obvious, skill and imagination in
the actual cooking. My starter of
ßlack Pudding 'ßonbons' had
lovely presentation and taste to
match, three crisp-coated balls
of locally made pudding with
45
EATlN6 0UT
EATING OUT 134 KITCHEN.indd 5 11/09/2013 13:41
a little melted nugget of Strathdon
Blue cheese inside, set atop a
garlicky mayonnaise and served on a
black slate. Great balance of flavours
with the tang of the cheese cutting
through the richness of the black
pudding and a combination that
might even persuade those foolishly
squeamish about the concept to
change their mind.
The presentation is just as impressive
with the set menu options as my
companions ßruschetta con
Funghi proved. Served in a classy
wide rimmed bowl, the mushrooms,
garlic and onions in a cream
sauce, on toasted French bread,
finished with chopped parsley was
pronounced top notch, even if it
slightly stretched the precise Italian
definition of Bruschetta.
My main was the perfect match for the
encroaching autumn. 5low ßraised
Lamb 5hank had been cooked in
a ßlack lsle Porter ßeer 5auce
with Creamy Mashed Potato
and 6remolata, Accompanied
by a 5election ol koasted koot
Vegetables. Simplicity was the key
to its deliciousness, the tender meat
falling off the bone.
My companions Pizza was a
revelation and was something
youd pay more for elsewhere than
theyre charging here for the two
courses. Topped with peppers and
courgette as well as homemade
tomato sauce, it was thin and crispy,
served on a lovely wooden platter
and suggesting theres a wood
oven in the kitchen, or at least a
chef who knows how to replicate
a truly authentic Italian-style pizza,
although again with ingredients that
could possibly induce conniptions in
that countrys purists.
Too many desserts in local restaurants
appear to have come from some
anonymous central hub, but here
they have a real individuality and
attention to detail. So my Vanilla
Panacotta had just the right degree
of wobble and a gorgeous, creamy
flavour, while my companions
ßanoñee Cheesecake was an
exemplary twist on two traditional
options. The slate was back as a
serving plate, allowing the chef to
unleash his artistic impulses on each
with differing patterns made from
tremendously zingy mango and
raspberry purees.
Service throughout was excellent,
with our waitress perfectly balancing
friendliness and attentiveness while
never being intrusive. No surprise
then that the place was full, as it
seems invariably to be.
As my companion noted, everything
about the restaurant felt professional
and well delivered, from the
impressive architecture that really
saves that section of the riverside
from anonymity and deserving
recognition for the boldness of
vision, to the warm welcome and
well trained staff who seem happy
in their work, the sign of a well run
outfit, giving a friendly atmosphere
to the place.
The Kitchen Brasserie is the flagship
of an empire that seems set to
expand even further and, at last,
tastes every bit as good as it looks.
