DAILY DIARY EVENTS Sunday 1st June 2014 8pm Dr Andrew Murray: The Ultimate Marathon Man Onetouch Theatre, Eden Court Theatre, Bishop’s Road Inverness IV3 5SA

To run a marathon takes an incredible amount of training, commitment and determination. To run two marathons in two days running requires twice the amount of effort. But in 2011, endurance athlete Dr Andrew Murray went a little further. Setting out from John O’ Groats, Andrew ran the equivalent of over 101 consecutive marathons, covering a staggering distance of 2659 miles, all the way to the Sahara Desert.

He completed this incredible challenge in just 77 days and 8 hours, setting a new British record in the process. Since then Andrew has completed some incredible feats of endurance including running a staggering 7 ultra marathons on the 7 different continents in under a week, running 5895 metres up Mt Kilimanjaro in 7 hours.

Wednesday 4th June 2014 8pm Marit and Rona Eden Court Theatre, Bishop’s Road Inverness IV3 5SA

Not everything has been done before. At least not in music. Which is something of a marvel.

Marit Fält and Rona Wilkie meld tunes and songs from their separate geographical backgrounds to create a new music that’s uplifting, daring and harmonious. They explore the rarely probed similarities between Scandinavian and Scottish Highland tunes - colouring them with songs from both traditions. But this isn’t academia.

Marit and Rona’s music is playful, borderless and thrilling. It glides from evocative near-classical movements through elegant polskas to buoyant reels, brought to life by Rona’s multi-personality fiddle virtuosity and Marit’s breath-taking mastery of the versatile låtmandola. £12.00 / Reduced Rate £10.00 / U18s £8.00 / Eden Court Friends Discount Applies.
