Celebs shout about silent movies Bristol’s Slapstick Festival is back with more stars and screenings than you can shake Charlie Chaplin’s stick at. Natalie Banyard gives us the lowdown

ristol’s Slapstick Festival is back, boasting an eclectic, hilarious and star-studded programme of classic silent comedy and live entertainment. The aim of the festival is to showcase and celebrate archive film, predominantly from the silent era, which is accompanied by live musical scores performed by world class musicians and introduced by some of the most prominent film historians, experts and comedians inspired by the comedy legends on screen. High-profile celebrity names have been queuing up to get involved in this fun-filled Bristol institution, which attracts visitors from across the country. Among those taking part are the inimitable and recently engaged Stephen Fry, who will be celebrating the life of creative genius and former Bristol resident, Vivian Stanshall. Actor, director and comedian Chris Addison will host the festival’s flagship Gala at Colston Hall, while Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer will be sharing clips and anecdotes before being presented with the Aardman Slapstick Visual Comedy Award. Stand-up and TV regular Shappi Khorsandi will be revealing her top comedy moments to Marcus Brigstocke, while the iconic Victoria Wood has the job of introducing a double bill of Gloria Swanson comedies. Griff Rhys Jones will be celebrating his partnership with the late Mel Smith, and national comedy treasure Barry Cryer will be discussing his relationship with the legendary

comic duo, Morecambe and Wise. Despite the big name entertainers taking part, the real stars of the festival have always been those appearing on the big screen. This year, audiences can enjoy classic films and lesser-known gems from Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, Buster Keaton and others. Festival founder and director, Chris Daniels, said: “I’m really excited about this year’s festival – it’s an embarrassment of riches. “We have some fabulous names on board, while also retaining our integrity and keeping this a celebration of silent comedy. “I feel like the luckiest man in the world because I have a job where my passion has become something that encourages people to explore this wonderful, unknown world of silent comedy.” ■ Bristol Slapstick Festival takes place Thursday, January 22, to Sunday, January 25.

Buster Keaton

I’m delighted to be attending ❝ and performing in a special tribute to Viv at Slapstick Festival in Bristol. Vivian Stanshall saved my life. Alone at school, his Mullard-valve-warming voice, his poetic expression, his majesty, madness, tone, dignity and verbal sloshings, sluicings and whooshings made me happier than I can ever say. His name should live long in legend and song.”

Stephen Fry

I had such a great time at ❝ the Slapstick Festival in 2012 when I hosted the gala event at Colston Hall and I wished I could have stayed longer and been to more things – so I’m really looking forward to coming again. For people of my age, who were brought up on chopped-together silent films with inane commentary, these full length movies are a revelation.”

Comedian can’t wait to celebrate silent films with fellow fans Comedian Chris Addison moves from futuristic Doctor Who to the slapstick comedy of the past when he hosts Bristol’s Silent Comedy Gala. He talks to Natalie Banyard

hris Addison was last seen introducing the recently deceased Danny Pink to the after-life in the jaw-dropping two-part Doctor Who season finale. Now, very much alive, he is about to appear at Bristol’s Colston Hall. Moving from the high-tech science fiction world of Doctor Who to the distant past of black and white silent comedy, Chris is hosting the Slapstick Festival’s flagship Gala event next Friday. The writer, actor, director and stand-up comedian, best known to television viewers as a regular panellist on Mock The Week and starring in the BBC’s political comedy The Thick Of It, will introduce some silent comedy classics, accompanied live by world-class musicians. But his role is far from that of a rented celebrity for the evening; Chris has a real passion for silent comedy. He has been eager to get involved in the festival for the past couple of years, but his busy schedule of touring and filming has always clashed, until now. “This sort of comedy was a huge part of growing up for me,” Chris recalls, “and to be able to come along and celebrate it in a room full of people who feel the same is magical. “When I was younger you could see this stuff on the TV, but not really in the cinema, which felt odd because back then all other comedies that you watched on the TV had the sound of studio audiences laughing along with them. “When you see these films, you’re supposed to be in a room full of other folk. I can’t wait to do that, finally.” Buster Keaton’s breakthrough film Seven Chances (1925) will be headlining the Gala evening’s entertainment. A sensational hit with audiences at the time, Seven Chances, which is cited by film historians as one of Keaton’s finest silent comedies, sees him trying to find a bride and to marry by 7pm that day in order to inherit his grandfather’s fortune. Out of all Keaton’s trademark sight gags, this film features one of cinemas most memorable sequences as the ever-daring Buster dodges a comedic avalanche of rocks and a mob of would-be brides. There will also be big screen showings of Charlie Chaplin’s satirical masterpiece The Immigrant (1917), accompanied live by the European Silent Screen Virtuosi, and classic tit-for-tat caper Big Business (1929) starring Laurel and Hardy, accompanied by keyboard legend Rick Wakeman on piano. “I love these films,” Chris continues. “When I was a kid, the BBC used to show Harold Lloyd

or Laurel and Hardy pretty much every night, it seemed to me. I remember sitting with my brother and sister, a tablecloth spread out on the front room carpet, having a picnic in front of those shows. “I loved all of them, but Laurel and Hardy were my favourites. One of the great things about them is that as well as being masterly slapsticians – that’s the proper term – their dialogue was just wonderful. I honestly have rarely laughed as much.” In addition to Chris’s prolific stand-up career, he is a much sought-after panellist on Mock The Week, QI and Have I Got News For You. He was a firm favourite as the unassuming Ollie Reeder in the BBC2 satire series The Thick Of It and Toby Wright in its spin-off film, In The Loop, before starring in the Sky Living comedydrama Trying Again. Chris co-created and starred in the BBC2 sitcom Lab Rats and worked as a director on the

from Friday, January 16, 2015

second season of Armando Iannucci’s HBO sitcom Veep. Most recently, Chris shared the screen with his former The Thick Of It co-star Peter Capaldi in the raved-about two-part Doctor Who finale, Dark Water/Death In Heaven. Of this latest role, Chris said: “It’s a great way to spend a couple of weeks, working with people I’ve always wanted to work with on a show I’ve loved all my life. My bucket list is quite a lot shorter now.” And for 2015? “The first few months will be spent editing the new series of Veep, the US sitcom I direct and produce on. And after that I intend to have a nice sit down with a cup of proper English tea. Maybe a biscuit, too, if things go well.” ■ Silent Comedy Gala, Colston Hall, Friday, January 23. Call 0844 887 1500.

WEEKEND 9

Learn how to live sunny side up! January 19 has been selected for the dubious title of ‘Blue Monday’. It’s when we’re supposed to feel at our most depressed. Here’s how to deal decisively with the problem...

ven the most optimistic and energetic of us are likely to feel sluggish and dull in January. Festivities are done with, money is tight, and it’s three long months until March 29 when the clocks “spring” forward. So how can we haul ourselves out of such a hollow? Well, obviously everyone’s different and there’s no one-size-fits-all cure, but here are a few ideas to get you thinking...

1 Book a holiday. If you can spare some cash, or your credit card will take the strain, a holiday will give you something to look forward to, and it’s so much fun planning where you want to go. So let your imagination loose and take a wander around a few sunny travel brochures. Just make sure you stick to a budget; you don’t need financial stress on top of the winter blues.

10 TRY IT ● ● ● ● ●

2 Take some exercise. It’s proven that physical activity can have a positive effect on people with mild to moderate depression because it releases the “feel-good” hormone serotonin. All right, so dragging yourself off to the gym, an exercise class, the pool, or out for a walk or run in the dark and cold at the end of the day can be hard, but if your habit is to take no exercise at all, it’s about time you made the effort. You only get one body and it’s your responsibility to look after it. And let’s not forget that you’ll be burning extra calories: all good for the post-Christmas waistline. 3 Search for the sun. Modern Western lifestyles mean that most of us go to work and get home in the dark. A lack of daylight can upset our body clocks and lead to SAD syndrome (Seasonally Adjustive Disorder), which manifests as depression and lethargy, sleep problems and a craving for carbohydrates. A contributing factor

from Friday, January 16, 2015

is a lack of vitamin D, which is produced by the body in response to the skin’s exposure to sunlight. If you’re lucky enough to be able to afford a sunny holiday, all well and good. If not, or in addition, invest in a good vitamin D supplement and a light box, which replicates the sun’s rays. They are priced from about £40. 4 Be good to yourself. Find something that makes you happy and make time for it. This might be as simple as meeting a good friend for coffee once a week, heading to the beach for a bracing walk, to a beauty salon for a relaxing pampering session, joining a hobby group, or arranging a babysitter so you and your partner can enjoy a “date night” and spend some quality time together. 5 Be good to others. Try and bring some relief and joy to those less fortunate than you by volunteering. Helping others will be make you feel better about yourself, too.

THINK POSITIVE

6 Take advice. Are you feeling stuck in your professional or private life? If it’s getting you down, take control and do something about it. Be brave: find a career consultant, a life coach, or a counsellor, or, if you’re uncomfortable talking to a stranger, search online for uplifting, practical self-help programmes. 7 Eat well. Yes, this is an old chestnut, but its roots are firmly embedded in truth. Besides being manufactured in response to sunlight, mood-lifting vitamin D is also in fortified breakfast cereals and dairy products, eggs and fish such as sardines, herring and salmon. Other mood-boosting foods include dark chocolate, nuts and seeds and legumes. 8 Count your blessings. Are you a glass half empty type of person? Write a list of all the good things in life; all the things you can be thankful for. Try and focus your energy on the

things in life that you can control – and perhaps improve – rather than dwelling on aspects over which you hold no sway. Remember that worry is a useless emotion, so there’s no point thinking endlessly about the negatives. 9 Be sociable. It’s all too easy to hole up at home and hibernate until spring. Although it might be an effort, you might just find that meeting up with friends is just what you need. Smiling is a great antidote for a downer. If you’re single, or feel isolated in some way, make new friends by joining a club or an activity of some sort. 10. Set goals. What do you want out of 2015? Set realistic goals and promise yourself a little treat when you achieve the target. Say for example you want to give up smoking: save all the money you would have spent on cigarettes and splash it on something decadent instead.

f you’re prone to depression or negativity, Bristol-based Miriam Akhtar – a qualified Positive Psychologist, author and life coach – may be able to help. She says that it’s all too easy, especially at this dark time of year, to think too much about what’s wrong in life, but, as her title suggests, Miriam advocates making an effort to focus on the positive aspects of life instead and the things you are good at; learn to recognise and appreciate your assets and strengths. Being grateful for the good things, she argues, is a means of fostering optimism and that “glass half full” attitude, which in turn leads to greater confidence, contentment and, ultimately, happiness. A positive outlook also makes us more resilient against that downward spiral of negativity, but reaching a place of positivity isn’t as easy as it sounds. If you need help, Miram could have the answer. Based on her book, Positive Psychology for Overcoming Depression, Self-help Strategies For Happiness, Inner Strength & Well-being, for the first time this year, Miriam has put together an online training course to combat the January blues. She says: “This is a brief, practical coaching course designed to have an anti-depressant effect. It is easy and highly accessible, which is what you need when energy and motivation is low. Over four weeks at the bleakest time of year we’ll look at a range of tools that help to lift us out of depression and strengthen our wellbeing.” The course will look at how to increase positive emotions, deal with low self-esteem and poor body image, gives you tools to challenge pessimism and takes a holistic approach (mind, body and spirit) to boost your mood. The course (in 90-minute sessions) starts on January 21 at 7.30pm. For details, visit www.positivepsychology training.co.uk, or email miriam@ positivepsychologytraining.co.uk.

Motivational talk should be a runaway success! Inspirational runners are gathering in Bristol to encourage others to follow their lead. Kate Edser chats to organiser, Ira Rainey, to find out more

n the depths of winter, it’s often hard to muster motivation to get out there and exercise. If inspiration is the metaphorical kick up the backside you need, an event in Bristol later this month should fit that bill nicely. RunSpark is an evening of talks by a group of people who consider themselves ordinary, but have achieved, in terms of running, extraordinary feats. They include event organiser Ira Rainey, who lives in Bristol and wrote award-winning book, Fat Man To Green Man: From Unfit To Ultramarathon, which follows his mental and physical transformation from an overweight 10k and half-marathon runner to tackling The Green Man – a 46-mile route along the Bristol Community Forest Path. Ira says he wants “to spark the belief in all runners that we are all much more capable than we even realise”. As the RunSpark website says: “Every now and then, all runners need a little extra boost in confidence – a tiny spark of inspiration to instil in them the belief that they can do it – that taking on that challenge is a good idea; that running more than they thought they could is possible; that they should dream and believe to achieve more. “Motivational pictures and quotes posted around the internet may make you nod your head in recognition, but their impact is often short-lived and soon forgotten. What would be great would be to sit down and listen to other runners – everyday normal folk – tell epic tales of how they stepped up to their own challenges and proved their own doubts and fears wrong, daring to believe they could do more. “RunSpark is that evening; a night of running-related motivational and inspiring talks to spark that belief in all runners that they can do more with their running. “Whether you’re building up to your first park run, or stepping up to a 100-mile ultramarathon, the principal and confidence required is the same. RunSpark will help you

Ira Rainey

realise that you can do it, that you are so much more capable than you ever knew.” Also on the soap box will be James Adams, Shona Thomson and Alice Young, who is fundraising manager and ambassador for Macmillan Cancer Support in Bristol and South Gloucestershire. All profits from the evening go towards this worthwhile charity. In 2011 James was on a beach in Los Angeles about to start a race where the finish was in Central Park, New York. He ran 45 miles each day, without rest, for 10 weeks while he covered the 3,200 miles across the USA. His book, Running And Stuff, recalls that story and his talk will focus on that race and what he learned. James says: “I am an ordinary runner who just got sucked into this world. I’ll be talking about my adventure, but also talking about what goes on in my mind, how I too am full of doubt, fear, anxiety, jealously and hopelessness and how I have learned to deal with it.” In September 2013, Shona became the first Scottish, and third British female, to run a marathon on every continent, and join the Seven Marathons Continents Club. In April 2014, she joined the Marathon Grand Slam Club by running a marathon at the North Pole.

“People often ask me why I decided to run a marathon on every continent,” she says. “There are a number of reasons but the simple answer is I love running and I need a challenge. Without something to aim for in life, I tend to get myself into a bit of a negative state. We all need something to drive us forward, and for me, running provides direction, as well as that euphoric ‘runner’s high’.” As well as the talks, there will also be a raffle with £3,000 worth of running-related prizes, including entries for the new Bristol to Bath marathon. Tickets are £2.50 each, available through the website (see below). RunSpark is taking place at the Watershed on Bristol’s harbourside, 6.30-11pm on Friday, January 30. All tickets are sold, but you can join the wait-list by visiting www.runspark.co.uk. ■ RunSpark has also teamed up with Run England and Run! City Bristol to arrange a 10-week beginners running course starting Tuesday, February 17 and costing £20. Meet at Millennium Square by the silver globe, 7pm. All proceeds go to Macmillan Cancer Support. For more information and to sign up, contact Anna West on 07718 394516, or email awest@englandathletics.org.

Give your signal a bigger boost

There’s an ever increasing number of devices vying for internet connection; so make sure it’s up to the job, with these Wi-Fi boosting gadgets 1 Almost any home can benefit from one of these devices; an unobtrusive unit that simply plugs into a standard wall socket and helps establish a stronger signal. TP-LINK RE200 Wi-Fi Range Extender £37.99 from argos.co.uk 2 It has the look of a visiting craft from another dimension, has a fairly hefty price tag and is far from the slender unit some might be looking for but, this router is extremely fast and can send a signal further than any other we’ve seen. Easy to set up for standard procedures, this router also allows you to take control of your home network via an accompanying smartphone app. Clever. Linksys WRT1900AC – £219.99 from maplin.co.uk 3 Whilst this might not be the most powerful router in our line-up, it certainly packs a very decent punch and, with its sleek and suave looks, is without exception the easiest on the eye. Belkin AC1800 Dual Band Router – £146.74 from dabs.com 4 This will quickly become an indispensable piece of kit for homes where there’s online gaming, video streaming and music downloading all going on in multiple rooms (so basically, in any home). Plug into the source of your internet and the signal is sent over your power line to other things plugged in to other sockets: bingo, better and wider Wi-Fi. BT Mini Wi-Fi Home Hotspot 500 Kit £59.98 from shop.bt.com 5 Another simple solution to extending your wireless signal. The antenna on board gives a decent enough boost around the home, but this one offers more distance, and is therefore a great option for extending outdoors. Belkin N600 Dual Band Booster – £49.99 from maplin.co.uk 6 Extend the range of your wireless signal indoors and on the road. It allows you to jump on to public hotspots but affords your device the protection of a firewall, too. Netgear Trek – £29.99 from currys.co.uk

f you head up to Filton to see the Bristol Flyers play, you’ll get plenty in return for your admission fee – except a 0-0

draw. A fast-paced all-action sport, it’s something you can’t tear your eyes from, and the Flyers are attracting a growing audience in their home city. This current season is their first in the elite division in the UK – The British Basketball League (BBL) – and crowds of between 500-600 are regularly packing into the court at the SGS College at Filton to watch the club’s home matches. It’s been a steady first campaign for the Flyers at this level, and Matthew Joy, who runs the marketing side of the club, says a new

generation of fans are learning about the excitement basketball can offer. “The key thing for us is that once we get people there, we find they love it. It’s just a question of trying to get them to go in the first place because it’s a new sport. “The difference with football and rugby is that you grow up with one or the other, so you know if you like it or not, whereas with basketball it’s a relatively new sport to a lot of people. “So we’re trying to change people’s mentality and get them to the game; once they’re there, everybody loves it.” And there’s one simple reason for that – it’s a sport that never stops. On top of that, the club has added some bells and whistles to the match-day experience. “Entertainment is the key word. There’s a big family feel to the matches because of the pace of the game; it’s end-to-end and there’s always something happening,” says Matt. “It lasts an hour and a half, but it’s non-stop action and, because of the 24-second shot clock, it means it never really stops. “The crowd are very close to the action, you can almost touch the players, and at the end they walk over and sign autographs and pose for photos, so for the kids who are there it’s something different that they don’t often get with elite sport these days. “The idea is to grow the fan base. We’re having a successful season and getting the crowds in. We’re making it a show, so it’s not just about the game. We’ve got some Americanism, too, with cheerleaders and the lights going down when the teams come out, and things like that.” All home matches are played at SGS, where the tight arena, with its college sports hall set-up, means that an electric atmosphere grows from the packed seating and echoing auditorium. By comparison, the London Lions play at the Copper Box in East London, where crowds of 1-1,500 are lost in an arena that holds 6,000. The Flyers, who are part of a stable of sports companies owned by Stephen Lansdown under the name Bristol Sport, are on course to meet their aim of earning a play-off place this season (of 13 teams in the BBL, the top eight go into the end-of-season matches) and Matt is hoping more Bristolians will come to Filton to f help cheer the team towards their goal. “We’ve got a match against probably our closest rivals, Worcester, next and then a game every weekend throughout February, all against sides that we will be battling with for the play-offs. We’re going to need the support there to try to push us through.” Despite making the jump up to the top division, the Flyers have largely kept the same

squad, and have a good progression of players coming through from their own youth teams. So, if you fancy a break from being buffeted by wind and rain watching outdoor sports, and the chance to support some local athletes, you won’t be the first to enjoy the all-round experience of watching British basketball. “It’s one of those sports where, on a Saturday night, the young fans, the 16, 17 and 18-year-olds like to go because it’s almost seen as a night out,” added Matt. “You haven’t got the weather element, so whether it’s raining or cold you’re inside, which helps. As well as the kids enjoying it, the parents enjoy it as well. “We run a hospitality package with drinks, so we get a lot of people coming here to start their night out as well. People can have a few drinks and enjoy themselves and by 9.30-10pm they’re ready to go on to the next place. “There is a variety of age groups and that’s another good thing; there’s a good mix, but it’s not affecting the atmosphere and everyone is in it together.” ■ The club run regular coaching sessions at SGS at the weekends, often with first-team players teaching the kids before playing their own match later in the day.

WATCHING THE FLYERS Adult prices are £12 and under 18s pay £5, reduced to £10 and £4 if you buy before the day of the game. There is also a group rate for schools or youth groups, which is £3 for an under-18 spectator if you buy ten or more tickets.

Bean there, done that in beautiful sunny Jersey With stylish hotels, great shops and beaches and the best sunshine record in the British Isles, Heather Pickstock takes a trip to the Channel Islands to discover Jersey

18 DO IT ● ● ● ● ●

from Friday, January 16, 2015

St Aubin’s Harbour

f you come from London, you’re a Cockney. Live in Newcastle and you’re a Geordie. And if you are born and bred on the beautiful island of Jersey, you’re a Bean. Not a baked, runner or broad, but a Jersey Bean. My significant other is a Bean. Born and bred on the rock, he moved to the mainland as a teenager, but he still calls Jersey home. He always tells me how beautiful his homeland is, about many days as a child playing on the sandy beaches, with blue seas where the sun was always shining. So we were delighted to take a trip there so I could see for myself the gems that Jersey has to offer. Although relatively small in the island stakes, covering just 45 square miles, it has so much to

offer, from glorious beaches to quaint harbours and friendly locals, so it’s no surprise that millions of tourists flock there each year. The fact it’s just an hour away from most UK airports and 100 miles from the British mainland, also makes it a great place for a break, without all the hassle of lengthy travelling. Pack a case, drive to the airport, get on a plane for about 50 minutes and you’re there – and can be enjoying an ice-cold beer in the Channel Islands before the sun is over the yard arm. We flew to Jersey with Blue Islands – www.blueislands.com. The airline offers a range of daily flights to the Channel Islands from a variety of regional airports, including Bristol, making a stay there a convenient option for those looking for a quick getaway. On arrival, we picked up a car from Hertz at the airport. Although taxis are fairly priced and there is a good bus service, a car – unless you choose to hire a push bike – is probably the best way to get around the island. Just be aware, though, that the speed limit across the whole of the island is 40mph. We booked into the four-star Radisson Blu hotel on the waterfront in St Helier; a smart and comfortable hotel overlooking the harbour, marina and beach, and which is conveniently placed just a few minutes’ walk from the town centre. One of our first ports of call was the town – the capital of Jersey – for a mooch around and a good snoop at the millionaires’ yachts moored in the harbour. St Helier has an impressive range of shops and a fantastic indoor market, where you can pick up goodies, including a pot of the famous Black Butter that’s made on the island. For lunch and dinner we took advantage of the Tenner Fest initiative – www.jersey. com/English.eatingout/foodie/pages/ Tennerfest – which runs on the island for six weeks through October and November. The scheme encourages restaurants, from gastropubs to bistros, to create a special, allinclusive menu with prices starting from as little as £10. It was a great way to sample the culinary delights the island has to offer. Other highlights of the island – and there are many – include the Jersey War Tunnels, the medieval fortress of Mont Orguell Castle at

picturesque Gorey, and the Jersey Archive, which holds UNESCO-recognised records of all aspects of the island’s history. There is also lots to do on the water, such as seal and dolphin watching, a trip to enjoy dinner in neighbouring France, surf lessons, seafaris and kayaking tours. And, as Jersey is the most southerly of the Channel Islands and has the best sunshine record in the British Isles, with an average summer temperature of 20C, you are likely to catch some rays, too. You can also see Jersey on two wheels, thanks to its extensive cycle network as well as the variety of guided cycle tours on offer. There are a number of places on the island to hire bikes, although most airlines and ferry companies will carry cycles if you want to take your own. For those who prefer to rely on two feet, there are also plentiful walking opportunities, with a spring and autumn “walking week” as well as guided walks to join. There is also plenty to do on the island for sporting fans, and the airport is just a short walk away from the Jersey RFC ground. If it’s more fast and furious sport you are after, then a visit to the Nigel Mansell Collection is a must. The museum is a collection of motor racing memorabilia, telling the story of the Formula One world champion’s career. There are cars in which Mr Mansell raced, a massive collection of his trophies and, if you are lucky, you may even meet the man himself, which we did. Those thinking that Jersey is just a little island off the mainland, made famous by the detective series, Bergerac, are wrong. This is a gem of an island, boasting beautiful beaches and scenery, with so much to see and do.

FACTFILE ■ Located 100 miles south of mainland Britain, Jersey is the most southerly of the British Isles. In fact it’s actually closer to France, lying just 14 miles from its coast. Despite being only five miles by nine miles, Jersey is a thriving hotbed of unexpected cultural and physical contrasts. Its myriad of attractions and natural beauty make it an ideal destination for short breaks, romantic weekends, active experiences, foodie getaways and family summer holidays. For further information about Jersey’s activities and intinerary suggestions, or for special offers, including hotel late deals and discounts, visit www.jersey.com, or call 01534 448800.

Lunch: For the locals Quirky and fun cafe

pen since December, The Kingfisher is the first venture for friends Sarah Baird and Jane Rose, two local women who identified the need for a community cafe in their neighbourhood. Fishponds Road has a number of places where locals can stop off for a drink and a chat, including Porto Lounge just around the corner. In many ways, the Lounge chain kicked open the doors for independent cafes such as The Kingfisher as it ripped up the rule book when it came to offering all-day, informal, familyfriendly places. The Lounge’s influence is plain to see in a number of cafes around the city and I’m sure the owners of The Kingfisher had a few reconnaissance missions to Porto Lounge as they hatched a plan to open their own cafe, housed in a former branch of Bottoms Up on Straits Parade. They have used the space well and the cafe has the higgledy-piggledy air of a rather good vintage shop, with mismatched tables and chairs, retro cabinets of jewellery (which, like the local artwork on the walls, is for sale), coat stands, comfortable old armchairs and squishy leather sofas. It’s quirky, too, with other furniture fashioned from old wooden tea chests and Singer sewing machine tables. In one corner, there is a kids’ area, with toys and books, next to a wall

designated for drawings by visiting toddlers, who get to choose from their own extensive and well-priced menu. The menu itself is chalked up on the board and you order at a counter topped with tempting homemade cakes, including Victoria sponge, chocolate brownies and muffins. The blackboard menu lists breakfast options (from a £2 bacon roll to the £7.50 full English) as well as burgers, sandwiches, paninis, jacket potatoes, bagels and soup of the day. Most items are under £4, apart from the burgers, but you could eat well here for as little as £3.50. More interesting is the printed list of daily specials, which on this occasion included a vegetarian dish of mushroom and chickpea “meatballs” in tomato and basil sauce served with penne pasta; vegetable curry; fish pie; and the more ambitious-sounding Cornish Fowey mussels with cider veloute and chorizo. Specials range from £5.50 to £9.50 and you can accompany your food with tea, coffee, soft drinks or order from a small list of wine and beer, including bottles from Bristol’s Wiper & True brewery. From the specials list, I went for the chilli con carne (£8.50) and it didn’t disappoint, being a robustly seasoned, medium-spiced dish of mince beef, tomatoes and spices, the addition of peas and chickpeas providing added colour and texture. Beneath the chilli, a mound of white rice was steaming hot, the loose grains retaining their nutty bite.

THE KINGFISHER CAFE 17-18 Straits Parade, Fishponds, Bristol, BS16 2LE. Tel: 0117 965 1001.

VERDICT Great value, enjoyable food served in a friendly atmosphere, The Kingfisher is everything a local community cafe should be.

VERDICT The healthy, energy-boosting food at this haven for cyclists is worth the ride, whether you arrive on two wheels or not.

Food ★★★✩✩ Service ★★★✩✩ Ambience ★★★✩✩ 24 EAT IT ● ● ● ● ●

ince it opened with the help of crowd funding in July 2013, this not-for-profit community cafe and bike workshop has become the hub of Bristol’s thriving and ever-growing cycling scene. While the upstairs workshop is the place to get your gears realigned, or your quill stem oiled, the downstairs cafe is a place to refuel on healthy, predominantly vegetarian food. Ironically, this site used to be a greasy spoon cafe, but there’s no meat on offer now – with halloumi providing the protein element in the “full veggie” breakfast and the fried egg baps. Unusual and welcome is the fact that every dish on the menu is annotated with dietary and allergy information, so customers can make informed decisions on dishes that contain gluten, milk, soya, seeds, mustard and sulphites. If only more places went to such lengths to provide what can be vital information for diners. Breakfast is served until 11.30am and many of the options include bread delivered by bike from the award-winning East Bristol Bakery in St Mark’s Road, Easton. The Full Veggie (£7) is a substantial start to the day, with eggs, beans, garlic mushrooms, halloumi, tomatoes, toast and tea or coffee. A healthier option might be the porridge with organic honey (£3). During the mid-week lunchtime I visited, Roll For The Soul was packed with a mix of

from Friday, January 16, 2015

office workers, laptop-tapping students and weather-beaten cyclists carrying panniers and foldable helmets. With cycling jerseys and bikes hanging from the ceiling and bike-related artwork on the walls, this is certainly a cafe with a sense of place. The lunchtime menu offers good value, with most things around a fiver or less. Best-sellers include the Khobez wraps (falafels, pan-fried halloumi or roasted vegetables with hummus, grated carrot and beetroot, shredded cabbage, fresh herbs and a choice of sauces), tortilla wraps, mezze platters and “no bull” veggie burgers such as the popular lentil and nut patty. From a concise specials board that also offered Moroccan tagine (£5) and chickpea, aubergine and courgette curry (£6), I had the creamy lentil soup with garlic bread (£3.90). So thick and chunky that my spoon literally stood up in it, this bowl of split yellow lentils was essentially a dhal, heady with cumin and garlic, and served with slices of granary toast slathered with pungent garlic butter and a seed-speckled side salad of shredded carrot, red cabbage and beetroot. I countered the nutritious main event with an equally enjoyable, if slightly less virtuous, slice of cherry and marzipan cake (£2.50), washed down with a flat white (£2.20) made with beans from Clifton Coffee roasters.

Dinner: New opening Among the best I’ve ever tasted

MINT AND MUSTARD 45 Oxford Street, Weston-super-Mare, BS23 1TN. Tel: 01934 626363.

VERDICT Its unremarkable backstreet location may not do it any favours, but this is modern Indian cooking at its most invigorating and some of the best I’ve tasted. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Food ★★★★★ Service ★★★★★ Ambience ★★★★✩ 26 EAT IT ● ● ● ● ●

ardiff, Taunton, Penarth and Weston-super-Mare – admittedly, the growing list of locations listed on the window of Mint and Mustard may not have the same ring to it as “London, Paris and New York”, but this award-winning group of Indian restaurants is certainly going places. The original Mint and Mustard was one of the first Indian restaurants to get recognition in the prestigious Michelin guide and it is widely regarded as one of the finest purveyors of curry and spice in the UK. Hidden away at the side of the town hall, the newly opened Weston branch is not a prime location and there’s no sea view, but this is a restaurant worth travelling for. With its mint green and Dijon mustard walls, wooden floor and vibrant modern photos of Indian scenes, this is a contemporary Keralan-inspired restaurant and there isn’t a hot plate or post-meal After Eight mint in sight. Although there are a few “classics” on the menu – among them lamb korma and chicken tikka masala – this is a lot more exciting than your average curry house and there are three different tasting menus on offer as well as the a la carte. “Exotics of chicken” (£5.95) was a memorably good starter. Described as “a display of tandoori skills”, each of the three large, juicy

from Friday, January 16, 2015

pieces of chicken breast had been cooked in the tandoor oven and marinated with different herbs or spices – one coated with a mossy, almost pesto-like paste of basil, another delicately spiced with star anise and the third heady with turmeric – and served with teardrops of mint yoghurt streaked with tamarind. A main course of tandoori salmon (£12.95) – one of the restaurant’s signature dishes – was outstanding, the three large chunks of fish marinated in a sweet, tangy mix of honey, wholegrain mustard, chilli and spices. To the side, a bowl of parippu curry (£3.95) – a lentil dahl spiked with red chillies and garlic leaves – and delicate, wafer-thin triangles of coriander and chilli naan (£2.75). Other main course options include Keralan monkfish curry; Konju mango prawn curry and a veggie-friendly saag khumb (spinach and mushrooms sauteed in butter with spices and ginger). Desserts are rarely worth mentioning in Indian restaurants as most places simply dredge the deep-freeze for a plastic cone of bought-in kulfi ice cream. Not here – desserts are a strength and worth saving room for. Tempted as I was by the rose petal crème brûlée, I went for tandoori pineapple (£5) – three hot chunks of tender, smoky fruit marinated with saffron and honey and served with a nutty pistachio ice cream.

PUB OF THE WEEK THE BEAUFORT ARMS

or those of us who haven’t given up booze for a dry month, January is the time to look out for bargains. This is the quietest period for most pubs and many of them have deals, particularly the larger pub chains, who can afford to take the financial hit more than small independents. The Beaufort Arms in Stoke Gifford is part of the Ember Inns group, which is in turn part of Mitchells & Butlers, one of the most successful of all pub and restaurant companies, with 1,700 sites taking a cool £2 billion a year. With figures like those, it’s not surprising that they can afford to reduce the price of drinks, but it’s the customer who ultimately wins, particularly in those bleak months after Christmas when hefty credit card bills are landing on doormats. A short walk from Bristol Parkway station – and therefore always handy before or after a journey, or if you missed your train and fancy a sharpener – The Beaufort Arms stands opposite a village green and war memorial close to a pretty church. An A-board on the pavement outside proudly advertises “up to ten real ales” served at any time and there were nine on offer when I visited. As well as the more ubiquitous Doom Bar, Butcombe Bitter and Old Speckled Hen, more interesting and unusual beers included Purity UBU, Adnams Shingle Bells and the

Jarrow Brewery Rivet Catcher I ordered. At just £2.85 a pint, it was a bargain and kept in excellent condition. Had it been earlier in the week, I could have saved even more money as all cask ales are £2.49 thanks to the Monday Cask Club. As well as a vast range of real ales, there is plenty of choice for cider drinkers, with Westons Old Rosie, Thatchers Gold and Blackthorn Dry among the draught options. A full food menu is available throughout the day, including pub classics such as steak and ale pie, fish and chips, steaks, burgers, pasta dishes and salads. Bargain-hunters can choose between three different daytime set menus, from £4.50 for one course to £8.50 for three courses, with two set menus available in the evening (£8.50 for two courses or £10.50 for three). There is also a two-for-one deal on main meals (weekdays, noon-5pm). And for those drinkers who have decided to stop drinking until the end of month, there’s always the pub’s Friday Fizz offer to look forward to. At £8 for a bottle of Prosecco or £25 for a bottle of Moët & Chandon, there will be plenty to celebrate after 31 days of abstinence. ■ 55 North Road, Stoke Gifford, Bristol, BS34 8PB. Tel: 0117 969 5471.

WINE OF THE WEEK THE GOOSEBERRY BUSH 2014 ■ If you’re looking for a white wine to pair with leafy greens, the grassy character and crisp gooseberry and grapefruit flavours that are the hallmarks of The Gooseberry Bush 2014, South Africa (£7.49, www.laithwaites.co.uk) make it a perfect choice. A fresh and invigorating blend of colombard and sauvignon blanc, serve well chilled and you’ll understand why it’s been one of Laithwaite’s best sellers for more than three years.

Healthy Japanese food ideas with the power to invigorate

hoku-Iku is part of the Japanese culture and signifies the way that Japanese people are taught about healthy food. This relationship with food can best be described as “conscious eating” – ditching that “just grab something” attitude and believing that you deserve to be a little more mindful about the relationship between what you eat and your body. Shoku-Iku is about choosing foods based on their power to invigorate, enliven, energise, fuel and give true nutrition. By making sure meals include five colours, five tastes and textures and come from one each of the five food groups, you too can eat as the Japanese do. Makiko Sano grew up in Tokyo and she was immersed in cooking from a young age, getting her inspiration from her mother, grandmother and aunts. Sano has lived in London for the past 20 years with her four children, and her restaurant, Suzu, specialises in Japanese tapas, including traditional sushi, sashimi and tempura. Most of the 70 simple recipes in her latest book are largely gluten- and dairy-free, many are vegan and some raw. Each of the five chapters in the book centres on one cooking method: steaming (or microwaving); grilling; simmering; no-cook; and sushi. You don’t even need an oven to make the recipes. “My family instilled this mindful attitude to food in me as a child in Japan,” says Sano. “We ate a selection of fish, vegetables, beans and miso soup at every meal. My grandfather played tennis until he was 97; my uncle lived to 100. “Growing up, my memories are of my parents, aunts and uncles, grandparents and cousins, all of whom lived nearby, eating their evening meal together.”

Shoku-Iku by Makiko Sano is published by Quadrille, £14.99

he old adage of never asking a lady her age doesn’t enter the equation when you talk to down-to-earth Lancastrian Elkie Brooks, who turns 70 next month. “I don’t really care to be honest – I’m quite proud to be hitting 70,” laughs the British queen of the blues, who started out performing in jazz bands with the likes of Humphrey Lyttleton before joining the Seventies blues-rock band, Vinegar Joe, with Robert Palmer. “I’ve been lucky that I have had a really good fitness level for the past 30 years, mainly since I started doing aikido in 1988,” she reveals. Brooks became a household name in the late 1970s and 1980s, with solo hit singles like Pearl’s A Singer, Sunshine After The Rain, Don’t Cry Out Loud, Lilac Wine and Fool (If You Think It’s Over). As she enters her eighth decade, Brooks shows no signs of slowing down and tours regularly. And, although she clearly still loves performing to her loyal audiences, she still needs to work following a financial crisis in the late 1990s. Her long-term accountant of the time admitted that he hadn’t been doing her tax returns properly for years and suddenly she was presented with a crippling £250,000 tax bill. With the royalties drying up and her bank accounts and assets frozen, she was forced to sell her luxurious detached house in Devon, with its studio and pool, and suddenly found

herself living in a motor home with her husband, Trevor, and two sons, Jay and Joey. And yet, despite all of this, Brooks, who now lives in north Devon, remains positive and not at all bitter about the music business, although these days her manager son, Jay, looks after the business. “It was pretty awful and I was probably a bit too trusting and a little naive, but at the end of the day I really enjoy the music side to it – it’s just all the other crap you’ve got to deal with. “The thing is, if you are going to continue in this business you’ve got to try and pick out all the positives and that is what I’ve tried to do, otherwise I don’t think I could have moved forward and continued to make the records I wanted to. “It’s great having the family involved in the business. Even when we lost the house, the boys travelled everywhere with us in the motor home and we had some fantastic times. “Children keep you very grounded and my boys now tell me how to do social media and all these things – I’m even on Twitter now! “You’ve got to embrace technology and digital. You can’t get away from it, you have to deal with it and these things can come in very handy – I mean, with my iPad I can even locate the nearest toilet when I’m on holiday in Italy!” Brooks is back on the road and this weekend returns to Weston Playhouse, a venue she is familiar with. “I’ve played Weston Playhouse a few times and it’s a lovely theatre. I’m lucky to have quite

a strong following and they obviously expect me to do the same hits, although I try to juggle them about a bit to keep it interesting for everybody, including myself. “The show is around two hours and the second half is always rockier, with more of the old R’n’B stuff and also a couple of songs from the last album, Powerless. “The next album isn’t finished, but I will eventually incorporate material from that into the set, but I’d rather get the album out first and let people hear it so they are more familiar with the songs. I’ve been down that route where you go on and do a load of new songs that nobody’s ever heard and people aren’t too happy about that – I’d rather give them what they want.” After more than 50 years in the business, Brooks has come a long way since she was doing what she jokingly refers to as the “scampi circuit” around the clubs of Manchester in the 1960s. “You’d need a bottle of brandy before you could face going on stage,” she laughs. “They weren’t the type of shows I was told they were by the manager at the time, it was more show songs, which I always hated. “To make things worse, the house bands could never read the music anyway, which prompted me to knuckle down and learn to play the piano well enough to accompany myself, which I still do today, so at least some good came out of it.” ■ Elkie Brooks plays Weston Playhouse on Saturday, January 17.

Music Don’t miss ANTHONY BRAXTON DIAMOND CURTAIN WALL QUARTET THE LANTERN

ne of the biggest names in improvisational jazz, Anthony Braxton plays a special one-off concert at The Lantern, his first UK show for ten years. In a real coup for the venue, Braxton will perform with his Diamond Curtain Wall Quartet and it will be his only performance on a rare visit to the UK. Described by The New York Times as “a real abstractionist, a builder of original languages combining composition and improvisation”, Braxton is one of the most prolific and pioneering American musicians and composers, he has released well over 100 albums since the 1960s, combining his love of jazz with influences of the European art music scene such as Stockhausen, Boulez, Xenakis and Schoenberg. Braxton’s work as a saxophonist and composer is widely acknowledged as groundbreaking and his 1968 solo alto saxophone double album, For Alto, remains a jazz landmark, being the first full-length album for unaccompanied saxophone. ■ January 20.

NEW YEAR/NEW NOISE 2 ARNOLFINI

he sequel to last year’s showcase from cool new Bristol label Howling Owl, New Year/New Noise 2 promises to be another audio/visual extravaganza featuring five musical acts as well as performance art. Taking place at the Arnolfini over two nights, the line-up is headlined by Bristol noise merchants The Naturals, pictured, with their crunching melod-

ies and artfully sculpted noise. Also on the bill is ATP Recordings’ newest signing Vision Fortune, a two-piece whose sound is all claustrophobic drone and shuddering stabs of synth. The brutal, minefield soundscapes of Bristol three-piece Killing Sound, Wenonoah and Salope complete the line-up. ■ January 17/18. See listings for details.

BEN OTTEWELL LOUISIANA

s a singer and lead guitarist in Mercury Music Prize-winning band Gomez, Ben Ottewell is well known for his unmistakable voice and talent for blistering and inspired guitar solos. Ottewell released his first solo album, Shapes & Shadows, in 2011 and since then has been pleasing audiences with a series of successful solo tours across the UK, US and Australia. In autumn 2013, Ottewell connected with his fan base to crowd-fund the follow-up album, Rattlebag, and launched a pledge campaign on Indiegogo. The experiment worked well and he exceeded his fundraising goal, with fans from around the world contributing to the recording of the album. A collaboration with childhood friend and writing partner Sam Genders, Rattlebag is a stripped-down and lush collection of beautifully poetic tales of salvation and redemption, of sanctuary and braving rocky seas in search of distant shores, with Ottewell’s trademark infectious melodies and bluesy riffs that beg you to sing along. ■ January 21.

THE BARR BROTHERS THE LANTERN

ontreal band The Barr Brothers pay a flying visit to the UK this month to support the release of their new album, Sleeping Operator. The group, featuring brothers Brad on guitar/vocals and Andrew on drums, alongside classical harpist Sarah Pagé and pianist/bassist Andrès Vial, recorded 40 tracks in the process of making the record. The 13 songs to make the final cut explore the far reaches of folk, laced with West African influences, hypnotic modernist pulsing and much more. The album was self-produced and recorded and

mixed by Ryan Freeland (Bonnie Raitt, Aimee Mann, Ray Lamontagne) in Montreal and Los Angeles and the band were joined by local neighbourhood guests including Richard Reed Parry of Arcade Fire. Known for their unique orchestrations, the band used a plethora of instruments to embellish the album including a variety of horns, marimba, ngoni (a West African stringed instrument), hammered dulcimer, pedal steel and an instrument made by a fan called a cardboardium. ■ January 22.

Classical LIVE FROM THE MET: THE MERRY WIDOW CINEMA DELUX

rom the moment the curtain first went up in 1905, Lehar’s frothy little comedy about a rich widow and the financial implications of her inheritance was a sure-fire hit. The Merry Widow conquered Vienna before seducing Germany the following year, and a subsequent English adaptation clocked up nearly 800 performances. Along with Strauss’ Fledermaus, it’s the go-to operetta for any company – professional or amateur – in the mood for the ultimate in irresistible Viennese whipped cream. And it doesn’t come creamier than five-time Tony Award-winning Broadway director and choreographer Susan Stroman’s lavish new art nouveau production for the New York Met, which stars Renee Fleming, pictured, as the rich widow whose deposited millions are keeping her country from bankruptcy.

With more than 200 Lincoln Center appearances across 21 roles, Fleming is something of Met royalty, and her co-star, Nathan Gunn, himself notches up two illustrious decades there this season. But the Brits are coming with a vengeance. Fresh from a stunning recent BBC Symphony Orchestra recording of Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius, Sir Andrew Davis presides in the pit; the English translation is by the unstoppable Jeremy Sams; Susan Graham takes over the title role later in the run; and there’s a dash of English operatic royalty too, with Sir Thomas Allen as the scheming Baron. Check it out thanks to the live relay in HD. Who needs to head to the Big Apple when the best seats in the house are just a cinema ticket away? ■ Saturday, January 17. See listings for details.

WEEKEND 39

Tour-de-force performance on long road to redemption

t’s a perfect paradox. Sometimes to find yourself, you have to completely lose yourself: strip yourself bare of home comforts, temporarily sever emotional ties and stare your demons in the eye. Only when you hit rock bottom with an almighty thump can you honestly assess your strengths and frailties, and gain a deeper appreciation for the people who are important to you. In 1994, 26-year-old Cheryl Strayed decided to come to terms with the death of her mother by embarking on a gruelling 1,100-mile solo trek along the Pacific Crest Trail, passing through California, Oregon, and Washington. She was ill-prepared for her odyssey, weighed down by a cumbersome backpack overstuffed with useless items, including the wrong gas canister for her cooking stove. Alone in this unforgiving wilderness, Cheryl initially relied on the kindness of strangers to survive, but gradually nurtured her survival instincts to overcome her fears and the perilous terrain. She subsequently penned the moving memoir Wild: From Lost To Found On The Pacific Crest Trail, which British novelist Nick Hornby (High Fidelity, About A Boy) has adapted beautifully and elegantly for the big screen. Jean-Marc Vallee’s film opens with Cheryl (Reese Witherspoon) at a critical and painful juncture of her trek.

40 S E E I T ● ● ● ● ●

Standing on a ridge above a breathtaking northern Californian vista, she removes one of her hiking boots and a bloodied sock, then tears off a loose toenail. The jolt of pain sparks a miasma of flashbacks to Cheryl’s past and her bond with her mother Bobbi (Laura Dern), who is diagnosed with lung cancer and dies when Cheryl is 22. There are scenes of domestic intimacy and tension with her ex-husband Paul (Thomas Sadoski), and her best friend Aimee (Gaby Hoffmann), who sends food parcels for Cheryl to collect along the route. Her exhausting journey is punctuated by nightmarish memories of Cheryl’s descent into sex and alcohol-fuelled oblivion – a futile effort to salve the pain of Bobbi’s death, which sounds the death knell for her marriage. “I’m going to walk myself back to the woman my mother thought I was,” Cheryl resolves. Anchored by a tour-de-force performance from Witherspoon that is a shoo-in for Oscar consideration, Wild is an uplifting drama that celebrates the human spirit and the restorative power of a mother’s love. Vallee, who helmed

from Friday, January 16, 2015

yesteryear’s Oscar winner The Dallas Buyers Club, directs with flair, juxtaposing the picturesque splendour of Cheryl’s surroundings with the internal darkness that nudges her to the brink of self-destruction. The fragmented timeline doesn’t impact greatly on dramatic momentum and Hornby sketches some powerful scenes of threat and self-reflection, including a moving encounter on the trail with a woman and her grandson that finally opens Cheryl’s floodgates – and loosens ours, too.

WILD (15, 115 mins) Starring Reese Witherspoon and Laura Dern.

VERDICT Reese Witherspoon is outstanding in this powerful and emotionally uplifting drama that celebrates the endurance of the human spirit. Watch the Oscar buzz build.

Veteran battles with psychological enemy

BRISTOL BAD FILM CLUB GYMKATA

eroes come in many shapes and sizes. Born and raised in Odessa, Texas, Chris Kyle became a professional rodeo rider until injury forced him to reassess his priorities. He enlisted with the military and his keen eye – nurtured by his father who taught him to hunt at an early age – set Kyle apart as a sniper. During four tours of duty in Iraq, he gained the reputation as the most lethal sniper in American military history, with 160 confirmed kills to his name. Such was his notoriety, the enemy nicknamed him “The Devil Of Ramadi” and put a sizeable bounty on his head. When Kyle eventually returned home, deeply scarred by clashes with insurgents and the deaths of his brothers in arms, he gradually regained his humanity and reconnected with his family by working with veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. In a bitter twist, having survived Iraq, Kyle was killed by one of those traumatised veterans on a Texas shooting range. His achievements are celebrated in Clint Eastwood’s biopic, which opens on a rooftop in Iraq with Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper) staring down a telescopic sight as a woman and her young son emerge from a building. Tensions crank up as Kyle places his finger on the trigger. “They’ll fry you if you’re wrong,” warns compatriot Goat-Winston (Kyle Gallner).

We rewind initially to Chris’s childhood, when he learns how to handle a gun with his father Wayne (Ben Reed). “You’re going to make a fine hunter some day,” says the old man tenderly. When dreams of bull-riding turn sour, Chris enlists and he meets Taya (Sienna Miller) in a bar. They marry and she raises their family alone while Chris fights overseas and attempts to outwit an elusive rival sniper called Mustafa (Sammy Sheik). With each successive tour, Chris returns home unable to communicate effectively with his loved ones. American Sniper unfolds from Kyle’s fervently patriotic perspective. Eastwood is more interested in the psychology of a father and husband than wading through the murky politics and morality of modern warfare, but battle sequences are choreographed with meticulous precision and Cooper affects a drawl to perfection as he conveys the demons that haunt Kyle.

AMERICAN SNIPER (15, 132 mins) Starring Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller.

VERDICT It’s beautifully shot, but the lack of narrative balance may be too much for some.

Score ★★★✩✩

atch the most typically 1980s film ever made as Kurt Thomas combines “the skill of gymnastics with the kill of karate” to ensure that the US has a base for its new satellite nuclear weapons tracking system! The year is 1980. The US has boycotted the Moscow Olympic Games because the Soviets have invaded Afghanistan. For three-time World Champion gymnast (and a sure bet for Olympic gold) Kurt Thomas, it looks like all his hard work is for nothing. Luckily for us, MGM Studios and Enter The Dragon director, Robert Clouse, have other ideas. Adapting Dan Tyler Moore’s The Terrible Game into a James Bond-esque adventure for athletes, led to one of the most mind-boggling and unique films ever made. Its bizarre premise, off-the-wall (literally in some cases) fight scenes, weird locations (Yugoslavia stands in for the cheese-sounding country of Parmistan) and awkward acting, makes it an unintentional comedy and has secured its place as a cult favourite. ■ Thursday, January 22, 8pm, Southbank Club, Bedminster. Tickets £5 in advance, £6 on the night. Visit www.bristolbadfilmclub.co.uk ■ The Bristol Bad Film Club was founded by Timon Singh and Tim Popple in order to create a place where movie fans can come and behold some of the most “unique” films ever put to celluloid, whether for the head-scratching dialogue, the shoddy special effects or acting that would not look out of place in a nursery school’s nativity play. Instead of ignoring these films and condemning them, the Bristol Bad Film Club is dedicated to showing them, and other cult films of their ilk, in all their terrible glory, and basking in their awfulness.

This battle of wits will leave you euphoric

T WHIPLASH (15, 106 mins) Starring Miles Teller, JK Simmons, Nate Lang, Melissa Benoist, Austin Stowell, Paul Reiser.

VERDICT This electrifying tale of the pursuit of musical excellence doesn’t hold back, and is one not to miss in 2015. It will leave you euphoric – and physically spent.

Score ★★★★★ 44 S E E I T ● ● ● ● ●

he fresh paint of 2015 has barely dried and already we have a strong contender for the film of the year. Inspired by writer-director Damien Chazelle’s experiences in a fiercely competitive high school jazz band, Whiplash is an electrifying tale of a 19-year-old drummer’s bruising battle of wits with his monstrous college tutor. As the title intimates, pain is acute in Chazelle’s lean script that pulls no punches in its depiction of the pursuit of musical excellence, which propels the self-destructive student to the brink of a breakdown. Drumming sequences are edited at a frenetic pace, spattered with the real sweat of lead actor Miles Teller, who performs all of the energy-sapping solos as if his life depended on it. It’s a bravura performance complemented by JK Simmons’ jaw-dropping portrayal of the foul-mouthed, bullying conductor, who verbally abuses students falling short of his impossible demands for metronomic and percussive perfection. Staring at his terrified charges, Simmons’ musician-turned-mentor preys upon teenage fears and insecurities, kindling intense rivalry between band members for his own sadistic pleasure. Early in the film, he picks on one nervous trombonist’s weight and snarls, “I will not let you cost us a competition because your mind’s on a Happy Meal and not on pitch.” He’s just getting warmed up. Nineteen-year-old Andrew Neiman (Teller)

from Friday, January 16, 2015

is determined to excel at his Manhattan music conservatory and avoid the regrets which haunt his writer father (Paul Reiser). So he practises night and day and catches the eye of the school’s most revered teacher, Terence Fletcher (Simmons). Soon after, Andrew transfers to Fletcher’s class and becomes the alternate drummer in the band behind lead player Carl (Nate Lang). When the opportunity arises for Andrew to impress, he rises to the occasion, but alienates himself from the rest of the band. A fledgling romance with Nicole (Melissa Benoist), who works at Andrew’s local cinema, is sacrificed in a cold, cruel fashion that would have Fletcher smacking his lips with glee. The game of one-upmanship between teacher and pupil spirals out of control as Andrew struggles to meet the lofty expectations of his maniacal mentor and earn the right to play at a concert in the rarefied surroundings of Carnegie Hall. Whiplash delivers one emotional wallop after another as Andrew practises until his hands bleed and Simmons belittles those Herculean efforts by growling, “Is that the fastest you can go? It is no wonder Mommy ran out on you!” We root for the beleaguered 19-year-old with every display of frenzied stick-work, urging Andrew to wipe the smug grin off Fletcher’s face. Our investment in the characters is immense and Chazelle rewards us with an astounding denouement that saps every ounce of energy from our bodies. We’re delirious, euphoric and physically spent.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge stars as Fleabag

Comedy storytelling at its very best 46 S E E I T ● ● ● ● ●

from Friday, January 16, 2015

Outstandingly funny, multi-award winning and critically acclaimed one-woman show Fleabag heads to Tobacco Factory Theatres

repare to be shocked and amused by a cuttingly sharp, outstandingly naughty and furiously funny one-woman production at Tobacco Factory Theatres. In this multi-award winning and critically acclaimed production, Phoebe Waller-Bridge brings us Fleabag; a girl who isn’t afraid to admit what she thinks is wrong with her. Borne out of a frustration and a rage about the objectification of women, Waller-Bridge lays her (unnamed) character emotionally bare in a spellbinding hour of theatre, charting an angry, sex-obsessed, capricious, but undeniably honest young woman whose life is going nowhere. Our heroine’s confrontational manner and sexual voraciousness has destroyed her relationships with her boyfriend, her business partner and even her best friend. Now, Fleabag opens up to let us see the world through her eyes, as we follow her life through love, loss and heartbreak. This is comedy storytelling at its very best, with all the unspoken nitty-gritty of real life. Waller-Bridge has an impressive acting CV that includes film, television and theatre; she had minor roles in Alfred Nobbs and The Iron Lady and more prominent parts in BBC2’s The Night Watch and The Cafe on Sky 1. Her West End debut as Lindsay Duncan’s unconventional daughter, Sorel, in Hay Fever in 2012 was described as “truly memorable”, but her breakthrough role was in Mydidae, an acclaimed two-hander at Soho Theatre. For Fleabag, Phoebe has been awarded a special commendation from the coveted Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, awarded annually to recognise women from around the world who have written works of outstanding quality in English-speaking theatre. ■ Fleabag, Tuesday, January 20, to Saturday, February 7. Tobacco Factory Theatres. See listings for details.

Theatre Don’t miss FERMENT FORTNIGHT BRISTOL OLD VIC

erment is Bristol Old Vic’s commitment to give Bristol’s vibrant community of theatre-makers an opportunity to explore their theatrical ideas in front of a live audience. Ferment’s year-round quest to find, support and nurture talent from Bristol and the South West is punctuated by two Ferment Fortnights of work-in-progress work in January and July. These mini festivals feature performances from some of the most fertile creative minds in an informal and lively atmosphere that invites feedback directly from the audience. The first Ferment Fortnight of the year is jam packed with new projects from faces both familiar and unknown. Highlights include Felicity Montagu (best known for playing Lynn Benfield, Alan Partridge’s long-suffering assistant) starring in a reading of playwright Theo Scholefield’s new work, Little Waves. Made in Bristol graduates The Wardrobe Ensemble make their triumphant return to Bristol Old Vic with the class of 1972, featuring a live band and some space hoppers, while FellSwoop Theatre take a haunting trip to the world of the un-living in Ghost Opera. Ferment producer Emma Bettridge says: “What better way to start 2015 than with some brand spanking new offerings from our brilliant talent pool of artists.” ■ Wednesday, January 21 to Friday, January 30.

T.REX; A PACK OF LIES ALMA TAVERN

Rex; A Pack Of Lies is an incredible true story of how one man who knew nothing about dinosaurs, but lots about Battenberg cake and tea, accidentally discovered that history’s most formidable predator – Tyrannosaurus rex – was a pack hunter. Bristol-based wildlife expert, ecologist, writer and performer Matt Brierley brings his fabulous one-man show to Clifton’s Alma Tavern this week. The show came about after Matt accidentally stumbled upon a strange truth: T rex hunted in packs known as Hammonds. But with no background in palaeontology, who’d believe him? Well, Sir Patrick Moore, Bill Oddie and comedian Alex Horne, as it turns out. And everyone that took the pledge to the Hammond hypothesis during the show’s full house run at the Edinburgh Festival back in 2009. “There’s a good reason why I’m revisiting the

show in 2015 – a promise I made to the late Sir Patrick Moore,” revealed Matt. “You might not associate Sir Patrick with dinosaurs, but all will be explained in the show.” Matt, who has worked in the tropical climes of the Caribbean and the rainy suburbs of Bristol for RSPB, says discovering that T rex was a pack hunter was a theory he stumbled over while wandering around the Natural History Museum – but today palaeontologists accept it as fact. Matt elaborated: “It took Bill Oddie, a trip to protest outside a child’s dinosaur exhibition in Italy and the mayor of a Colorado town called Dinosaur to make that happen. Oh, and a very unexpected £100 from Casualty’s Charlie. “People have called me the next Dave Gorman, which is a great compliment, but also widely inaccurate, because I’m not called Dave.” ■ Until Saturday, January 17.

From Bristol to Tokyo, city life captured on canvas Bristol Harbour by Peter Wileman

PICK OF THE WEEK Living For The City, January 17 to March 4, Lime Tree Gallery, 84 Hotwell Rd, Bristol. 0117 929 2527, www.limetreegallery.com

Busy, Busy Tokyo Life, by Sylvia Paul

52 S E E I T ● ● ● ● ●

nspired by the wonderfully urban harbourside view from Lime Tree Gallery on Hotwell Road, the directors invited a selected group of artists to participate in an exhibition based on the theme Living For The City. Cityscapes are often fascinating, constantly changing, and are perhaps even more affected than landscapes by subtle changes in light and the invited artists were encouraged to seek inspiration from travel far and wide. The result is an exhibition featuring the diversity of Tokyo, New York, Melbourne, Bruges, Ghent, Paris, Florence and Prague and well-loved cities closer to home such as Bristol, London, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Cities with rivers, boats and harbours provided stimulus for many of the artists. Peter Wileman has based one of his paintings on a view from Bristol’s harbourside towards Redcliffe and extended the series to include views across the Thames in London and the magical river Vltava in Prague. Meanwhile, the grittier tones of the Clydeside docklands provide the backdrop for Scottish artists David Smith and Adam Kennedy. Their fascination with boats in the city of Glasgow is depicted in very contrasting styles, yet both are bold and confident. Away from the water, Peter Wileman’s paint-

from Friday, January 16, 2015

ings of New York capture the drama of Manhattan. Depicting London, David PorteousButler paints the people and the pubs of the City and the Strand, while Judith Bridgland takes us to Whitehall. Further afield, Sylvia Paul explores the colour and bustle of busy Tokyo and the rooftops of Florence and Prague, while Zanna Wilson shows the buildings, streets and colleges of Edinburgh, where she trained. Apart from the diversity of the cities, the different styles of the artists enrich the exhibition. David Porteous-Butler’s paintings are created using palette knives, which provide a directness and texture, while the texture in Sylvia Paul’s paintings is often conjured using collage, reflecting her family connections with Japan. Adam Kennedy uses mixed media in a very different way, based on beautiful draftsmanship. His distinctive technique blends oils and acrylics which react with each other on the paper. Once dry, washes are layered on top and the paint catches between those marks. As always at Lime Tree Gallery, the artists place great emphasis on the skills of painting and drawing, with the use of colour and life. The result is a stimulating and invigorating exhibition.

MODERN ART IN BRITAIN: REALITY QUESTIONED BRISTOL MUSEUM & ART GALLERY

eality Questioned is the latest offering from a collaboration of five of the region’s museums called Frameworks; Great Art In The West, which is a working partnership between Bristol Museum & Art Gallery, the Holburne Museum and the Victoria Art Gallery in Bath, The Wilson in Cheltenham and Swindon Museum & Art Gallery. Reality Questioned will bring together paintings from Bristol’s own 20th century British collection, with key works from Swindon Museum & Art Gallery, as well as a recent acquisition by contemporary artist Tala Madani. Presenting works by artists such as Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, David Bomberg and Eric Ravilious, this exhibition charts artists’ engagement with reality and what it means. In their quest to forge a new style for a new age, the artists featured experimented with primitivism, illusion, visual puns and abstraction. No longer content with reflecting external reality, these artists did not seek to imitate form, but to create it. Bristol Museums, Galleries & Archives played a leading role in setting up the partnership, which was developed last year with funding from Arts Council England as part of a Major Partner Museum agreement to help strengthen relationships between arts organisations.

From a struggling teacher to a top-class comedian

riginally from the North East, Carl Hutchinson first took to the stage in 2007 and quickly became a multi-award-winning comedian. In August of that year, Hutchinson reached the final of the esteemed So You Think You’re Funny competition held in Edinburgh and went on to be crowned the winner of the Beat The Frog World Series contest held in Manchester. Not content with those awards, he headed to London in October 2008 to become the Mangers Pub Comedian of the Year and he has continued to win awards, including ITV’s FHM Comedy Hero in 2010, as well as touring the country and performing solo at the Edinburgh Festival. What is most remarkable about his meteoric rise is the fact that he has only been a professional comedian for the past five years, since he gave up his day job as a maths teacher at a Manchester secondary school. “I was only 25 so, yes, it was a big gamble, but I just had to make the jump – teaching wasn’t for me, what with all the getting up early and all that,” jokes Hutchinson, who performs two nights at Bristol’s Riproar Comedy Club this weekend in a cracking triple-bill alongside the equally lauded David Whitney and Jim Smallman. “Comedy was something I always wanted to do, but I guess I only realised I had a gift for it when I was working at the school and I'd regularly do impressions of other teachers at break time.” Inspired originally by American comedians like Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock and George Carlin, Hutchinson says he also loved watching Lee Evans and Jack Dee as a child and they influenced his storytelling style. His comedy has been described as everything from reactive to argumentative and he says he adapts his show to each audience. “I try to make every show different, but I essentially do storytelling, with a good helping of observations thrown in. For these Bristol shows I'll be telling stories from my school days and also stories about what I would do if I could haunt people – basically, nothing's off limits.” Pick of the week: Stand up And Boogie with Carl Hutchinson, David Whitney and Jim Smallman, Friday, January 16, and Saturday, January 17, Riproar Comedy Club, 15 Union Gate, Union Street, Bristol, 8.30pm, £12/£20 meal deal, 0117 985 6767, www.riproarcomedy.co.uk

aving performed more than 2,000 shows, comedian and actor Dominic Woodward knows how to tickle the funny bone of most audiences, but he admits that “bad” gigs are all part of the job. “Thankfully, they happen less as you progress, but I was punched after a terrible gig in Liverpool and last year I was attacked after I put down a heckler.” The Manchester-based comedian will be hoping for a smoother ride at Jongleurs this weekend, but he has played Bristol countless times before and has a solid fan base here. “I really like the bohemian vibe of the city and if I moved out of the north, I’d definitely choose Bristol. For many years I used to stay in the best B&B around, called Toad Lodge in Cotham. This place is famous among comedians – everyone who’s playing in Bristol has stayed there. ‘Mrs Toad’ is such a character.” Woodward will be joined by New Zealand “Card Ninja” Javier Jarquin, award-winning Stuart Mitchell and outspoken Canadian Dana Alexander. ■ Friday, January 16, and Saturday, January 17.

Property of the week

Chance to own a slice of Georgian elegance

he grandeur of a bygone era is still much in evidence at this elegant Georgian mansion just off Frenchay Common. Characterised by tall windows, high ceilings, huge rooms and ornate period touches such as fireplaces, ceiling roses and coving, this beautiful building is now converted to flats. This particular apartment is on the ground floor and, like its neighbours, benefits from the lovely landscaped gardens, with neat lawns and lots of plants and mature trees. The double glazed flat has gas central heating, two bath/shower rooms, a double garage and a storage area in the cellar, so it’s as practical as it is attractive. Access to Cedar Hall is via electric gates that open to a driveway leading on to a visitor parking area and the garages. The apartment has a central hallway, with the kitchen and bedrooms on one side and the large living

60 S E E I T ● ● ● ● ●

room on the other – with vast windows framing a south-facing view over the garden, which is maintained under a residents’ management agreement. The 20ft sitting room is particularly impressive, with its bay housing three sash windows, and a marble open fireplace. Slightly smaller, but still more than 18ft long, is the next door dining room. Kitchen cupboards are white with dark green laminated work tops and tiles, together with a built-in electric oven and hob, fridge and dishwasher, with space for a washing machine. Both the bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and there’s an en suite shower with the master in addition to the main bathroom. Just down the road from the apartment is the common, surrounded by mostly large period houses and a popular pub, while the ring road is about half a mile away.

Focus on making a single room sing Interiors Concentrating on a single room rather than rehashing an entire home can often pay dividends, says Bristol designer Gill Richardson

edesigning a single room rather than a whole house renovation can be a more gentle introduction to a climate of change within your home, without being too disturbing or inconvenient. It has the benefits of containment (you can still utilise other rooms while works are carried out) and shut the door on the havoc. You can also test out how a single room transformation affects your purse as well as your sanity before falling passionately headlong into interior design changes throughout your property. Often, budget and time are stretched to achieve as much as possible when there are several areas to cover and, understandably, if building or restorative work is involved, the budget is prioritised in those directions, leaving little left for fancy things! The period living room shown here was such an enjoyable project to work on because the priority was on finishes and furnishings, without the need for structural changes. We were able to concentrate our creativity on decorative detail and high quality touches by making bespoke furniture to fit the scheme. Our clients gave us some key issues to consider when designing the scheme: the room was cold and underused; the seating arrangement was awkward; the radiator covers were out-of-keeping; and the large TV screen imposed upon the room when switched off. They also asked to keep the existing fireplace and curtains, as well as their chosen artwork. We investigated factors contributing to the coldness of the space before coming up with a plan of works. This included insulating the floor, introducing new and efficient feature radiators in different locations and remedying the incorrect pipe work into the room. After the floorboards had been removed and insulation placed between the joists, the floorboards were replaced with the proper ventilation. Added to this was a top-grade underlay and 100 per cent wool carpet, with a luxuriously thick pile to make the room

appealing and warm even on the coldest of winter evenings. We suggested a taupe coloured Jacaranda carpet from Design Flooring in Clifton (which also carried out the insulation service). The naturally dyed wool goes well with the Vivienne Westwood wallpaper – called Squiggle, from her Pirates collection. The large asymmetric mirror with a walnut frame is by Porada. It gives the room height and reflects the new, contemporary chandelier from Ochre. The Fifties-inspired wall lights are perfect with the wallpaper, while the hand-blown spindle shade that hovers in the bay window adds a welcoming glow to the curved window seat we designed. Philip Heaton, one of our preferred cabinet makers, built and installed the bespoke furniture to our design and specifications. These included the tall TV/AV display unit in the alcove that has a motorised lifting system to hide the screen, the unique elliptical console table in walnut and polished steel on the left, with matching bay window occasional table in the same materials, and the central, low coffee table with shelf below in front of the sofa.

The curved seating in the bay window has new radiators underneath to ensure this area is a warm place to sit. So, renovating a single space is a great way forward if you are considering changes to your home with the least disruption. Just don’t forget to prioritise the design and the budget!

Codpieces, corsets and Tudor intrigue Scheming, intrigue and ill-fated romance – the upcoming TV adaptation of Hilary Mantel’s book, Wolf Hall, looks set to have viewers on the edge of their seats. The cast talk with Jeananne Craig

rom sword-fighting lessons to wince-inducing corsets, every effort was made to ensure BBC2’s upcoming Tudor epic Wolf Hall was as authentic as possible. But actor Mark Rylance had one issue on the set of the six-part drama, adapted from Hilary Mantel’s Man Booker Prize-winning novels Wolf Hall and Bring Up The Bodies. “The codpieces are too small,” says the star, 54, who plays Henry VIII’s closest advisor, Thomas Cromwell. “I think it was a directive from our American producers, PBS – they like small codpieces, which always seemed to be tucked away.” The Kent-born actor clarifies that he “wasn’t personally disappointed” by the accessory, worn in Tudor times at the front of men’s breeches and seen as a symbol of virility. “I’m a bit more used to them than other people, from being at Globe [Shakespeare’s Globe; the theatre at which Rylance spent a decade as artistic director]. But I can see for modern audiences, perhaps even more in America, they may not know exactly what’s going on down there...” For the record, the show’s producers insist there was no “hidden codpiece memo” from either themselves or their US counterparts. But they weren’t the only tricky items the show’s cast had to contend with. “In the first few weeks, the dresses were magical and amazing,” says Upstairs Downstairs actress Claire Foy, who plays Anne Boleyn, eventual wife of Henry, played by Homeland’s Damian Lewis.

64 S E E I T ● ● ● ● ●

“But then it gets to July and you’re in a stately home, not able to drink water, sit down, not really able to breathe, and you’re regretting asking for the corset to be so tight in the fitting,” adds the 30-year-old. Filming took place across the South West of England, with the action following Cromwell’s meteoric rise from blacksmith’s son to the king’s right-hand-man. Along the way, he must deal with the ruthless power struggles of the Tudor court, the upheavals of the Protestant reformation, the King’s turbulent relationship with Boleyn, and her later execution. “He’s always playing to win,” Rylance says of his character. “He probably would have been a champion chess player, in that he’s usually eight moves ahead of the other players.” Viewers who conjure up an image of Henry VIII as a rotund, tyrannical ruler might be surprised by the slim and handsome version we meet in Wolf Hall. “I think we all have this understanding that he was this womanising, syphilitic, bloated, genocidal Elvis character,” says Lewis. “But he had a 32-inch waist and he remained that way for quite a long time. He was the pre-eminent sportsman in his court. He was much taller than anyone else. His beautiful, pale complexion was often remarked upon by commentators.” Foy, meanwhile, found her character more sympathetic than the “cliched Anne Boleyn version” she learnt about in school. “She is this amazingly strong woman living in this man’s world,” she says. ■ Wolf Hall, BBC2, Wednesday, January 21.

Damian Lewis as King Henry VIII

PLANET’S GOT TALENT SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, ITV, 6.30PM

decade ago, Paul O’Grady hosted a pilot show for a potential series that looked like a revamped version of classic 1970s series New Faces. ITV bosses weren’t thrilled with the format for Paul O’Grady’s Got Talent, so Simon Cowell sold the idea to US TV bosses. They snapped it up, and in the wake of America’s Got Talent, suddenly ITV were back on board. Paul had fallen out with ITV’s big cheeses at the time, so Ant and Dec stepped in and helped make Britain’s Got Talent a huge success. Many countries in the rest of the world were just as thrilled with the Got Talent format and, with so much material from years’ worth of international shows, there’s little wonder this compilation series of highlights finally saw the light of day. Talented folks from Indonesia, Iceland, Bulgaria, Brazil, China and Chile, among many other places, show off their skills. Of course there’s also a chance to see some of the worst contestants, too.

CALL THE MIDWIFE SUNDAY, JANUARY 18, BBC1, 8PM

here are few jobs more rewarding than midwifery. Playing such an integral part in bringing new life into the world probably makes for quite a good story-telling hour down the local of a Friday night – it certainly makes for a good storyline or two in this stunning drama, and has done for three seasons before now. The ladies of Call The Midwife are as excited as their audience about the return of this much-loved drama. In this first instalment, a family of severely neglected children is discovered, and the midwives attempt to bring their health back up to scratch and restore happiness in their lives. Meanwhile, new nurse Barbara is keen to make a good impression, but doesn’t go about it in quite the right way, while Sister Evangelina finally undergoes tests for those abdominal pains she’s been having. Plus, it dawns on Shelagh that she’s spending as much time at the surgery as she is at home, and so her family decides to do something about it.
