Quirky gifts and cool creations Natalie Banyard discovers a tempting selection of unusual and creative gifts and cards in a beautiful Georgian building on Baldwin Street

ffering an eclectic mix of niche and quirky cards, gifts, perfume and homewares, No.31 is a gorgeous boutique gift shop tucked away on Baldwin Street. The shop is owned by the Park Street-based greeting cards and stationery publisher Urban Graphic, who supply many of the best shops and galleries in the UK. The company initially bought the beautiful Georgian building as a screen print facility, but when it discovered that the building had this incredible space, Urban Graphic decided to utilise it and No.31 was born. Refitted with a blend of contemporary and period detail, No.31 is full of unusual design-led gifts, many of which are not stocked anywhere else in Bristol. Naturally, the boutique carries the complete range of Urban Graphic’s recognisable products, including greetings cards, gift wrap, aprons and mugs. The shop also offers a gift-wrapping service and the friendly team will even post your gift for you. Just inside the door, there’s a gorgeous display of fun and funky handmade toys including the fabulous Donna Wilson stuffed animals, the gorgeous circus tent, castle, knights and dragons from designer brand Maileg, and the quirky octopus cushion from Ferm Living. You’ll be tempted to snap up some of these stylish toys whether you have a child or not! Further inside the store, there’s an array of tables displaying desirable products from high end labels, from niche perfume brands such as Juliette has a Gun to the amazing chocolates from award-winning chocolatier Amelia Rope. The striking range of coffee makers and mugs from colour experts Pantone are new in and proving popular, as are Jimbob’s

ceramics, decorated with the London-based artist’s quirky and characterful critters. Renowned artist Rob Ryan’s ever-popular pieces are a favourite with those looking for a romantic gift or wedding presents. Famed for his paper cut-outs, there are mugs, plate sets, notebooks and bags available in Ryan’s delicate and sentimental style. To the rear of the store, there’s a stunning selection of handmade jewellery from exclusive labels including Tatty Divine and Little Peche as well as stylish, multisex watches from Scandinavian label Miro. Assistant manager Harriet Wood says: “We started off stocking the Urban Graphic range and from there we began sourcing other gorgeous, design-led products that we liked the look of. It’s grown and grown and we have some fabulous products that we’re very proud of. “There’s something for anyone who’s a bit creative and enjoys good design. It’s a great place to purchase a really unique gift – or just to treat yourself to something a little special.” Artwork adorns the white-washed stone walls from letterpress artists, screen printers and illustrators. The shop is also used as an exhibition space to showcase local and international artists. The first exhibition is a solo show from NYC-based illustrator Al Murphy, running throughout May. “We want No.31 to be more than a shop – we want it to be a hub for Bristol’s creatives,” says Harriet. “We’ve already had great support and feedback from our customers who say they love looking around and being able to buy something beautiful and different from what’s available on the high street.”

Take time out from modern life Clifton Relaxation Centre is marking its 20th birthday with a refurbishment this year. Kate Edser settles back to hear what’s in store for this peaceful haven in the city.

The steam room and cold splash

Director Bernadette Ryder

The meditation garden

’m not sure if I’m in the right place: a quiet, leafy residential street lined with large, mostly Georgian houses. Then I see an unobtrusive sign and an already-open front door. There’s a small queue at reception, a rather rustic affair tucked away in a corner of the hallway, and off to one side is a huge room, with ornate cornices, ceiling roses and an old fireplace. This is a workshop space, for meditation and yoga, among only very quiet activities, while to the other side of the hall is a room with sofas and bean bags, polished pieces of ornamental wood and carved “clouds”. It’s a place to wind down, to sit with a cup of tea or iced water and slip away into a daydream through the huge sash windows that overlook the garden.

In here I’m chatting – almost whispering, actually – with Clifton Relaxation Centre’s director Bernadette Ryder, who’s been a long-term fan, firstly as a customer and then as a massage therapist. In situ for almost a year, Bernadette is charged with overseeing a total overhaul of the interior and garden, thanks to investment from the new owner, Dave Roberts. Hopefully everything will be finished by September, when a relaunch will coincide with the centre’s 20th anniversary. The centre’s roots stem from a spiritual community, which originally made this listed building home. “It was a place for them to meditate, and they created this facility because part of the teaching of the community was how to live well and healthily in the modern world,” explains Bernadette.

fromfrom Friday, Friday, MayMay 16, 2014 16, 2014

“Then they opened to the public to help finance it and started running treatments. After eight years the then owners were wanting to move on, so they were going to close it. The person who bought it, Richard Hicks, happened to be here for a massage and the practitioner mentioned the closure. He was a very wealthy man so he just bought it and brought it more on to a business footing.” Wanting to retire, Richard sold the business at the end of last year to his Bristol-based friend, Dave Roberts, who was also a client of the centre. Richard remains as landlord. Bernadette continues: “Dave is investing in upgrading the place. It has got tired and quite a lot of capital will be poured into it this summer. We have started work in the garden and we have been trying to work out how to

replace the spa – though we have no idea how it got into the building! It’s in one piece and we think they must have taken down walls to get it in. So we’ve been through a long process and I think we might be able to use the same basin and reline it, so we don’t have to take it out again. “We’ll probably rework the whole spa space; make it more beautiful and more modern, with different lighting. Similarly, the hot tub outside is a favourite place, together with the plunge pool. We’ll probably upgrade the sauna out there, too, and maybe bring in a second hot tub, if not immediately, then as soon as we can afford it, and hopefully bring in a floatation tank and redecorate the building from top to bottom. “It’s all slightly in flux, but in the garden

there will be more places for people to sit and lounge and we’ll probably be serving teas and drinks out there when the weather is warm enough.” Bernadette is keen not to lose sight of the thread that’s kept the place going all this time. “We are starting to focus on what is different about this place, because there is something different. Firstly there’s the location in this extraordinary building, which is highly unusual and it has this beautiful garden, which so many centres don’t have. “What’s also very clear to me is that its original ethos has never left. There’s something about this place: it’s not about health and beauty or health and fitness; it is a place to come and stop and ‘be’ – almost an antidote to the stress of our fast-paced modern lifestyle.”

Surgery with a fairy tale ending Plastic surgery is not just about improving aesthetics; for women with overly large breasts, it can be life changing, writes Kate Edser

iving with very large breasts can be a nightmare, causing pain, embarrassment, a loss of confidence and a multitude of practical problems. Help is at hand (literally), thanks to the skills of plastic surgeon Dr Lisa Sacks, who likens her breast reduction procedure to a fairy tale, because her patients seem to live “happily ever after”. Lisa, who works at the Nuffield’s Chesterfield Hospital in Clifton, explains: “We have a culture where people think big breasts are wonderful and sexy and glamorous, but try hanging two large bags of sugar around your neck; it’s not fun. “Large breasts can cause neck ache, back ache, sweating underneath the breasts, with a rash, clothes don’t fit and they can attract unwanted attention in public. I note that most of my patients suffer from back ache, neck ache and heart ache. “Breast reduction is my favourite operation and if someone said to me I could only do one operation for the rest of my career this is the one I would choose because patients are usually the happiest after this type of surgery. “The results of surgery are usually predictable, it solves the patient’s problem, the improvement in quality of life is better than a hip replacement (shown by research) and, of all the procedures I do, this is the one where they live happily ever after with the result.” Describing breast reduction as her “signature operation,” Lisa carries out the procedure on about 50 women of all ages each year, the youngest so far being 16 and the oldest 76. Also a skilled sculptor of the human form, Lisa’s creativity and eye for the aesthetic certainly spills over to her professional life. Like a true artist, she’s a stickler for detail and perfection is the only acceptable outcome. “I love my job,” she says, “and that’s because it combines surgeon’s skills with taking good care of a patient’s wellbeing.” Lisa explains: “Surgery is about patient support; it is about communication. I have women who come for a consultation and they don’t want to take off their bra because they are so ashamed and I’ve

Dr Lisa Sacks at the Nuffield’s Chesterfield Hospital

REDUCTION ■ Breast reduction surgery with Dr Sacks typically takes two and a half hours and requires an overnight stay in hospital, with follow-up appointments at one week, three weeks, three months, then yearly for five years, and then eight and ten years post surgery. At the Nuffield’s Chesterfield Hospital, a breast reduction operation costs £5,925. The procedure is available through the NHS if certain criteria can be met. ■ Lisa and a colleague are giving a talk on plastic surgery, including breast reduction, on Tuesday, May 20, 6.30-8.30pm at the Chesterfield Hospital, 3 Clifton Hill, Bristol, BS8 1BN. For details, call 0117 911 9274. had women whose husbands have never seen them naked. I think being a surgeon is like being a priest; it is a relationship where there has to be trust.” Typically, Lisa will remove between 0.5kg and 2.5kgs from each breast and her aim is to provide breasts that look “young, pert and nubile”. To achieve this, she sticks to a tried and tested method. “I do a technique called the vertical scar breast reduction, where the scar goes around the areola and then downwards, like a lollipop. “I now specialise in this technique for big breasts. Before I learned this technique, I performed a procedure with a bigger scar shaped like an anchor. With the vertical technique it sweeps the tissue from under the arm and brings it towards the midline. I favour the vertical scar method for long-term maintenance of shape.” Indeed, I’m shown page after page of women at various stages post-surgery and their

breasts look no different after one year than they do after five or more. Critically, there is no discernible “droop”. “Patients can choose any size they want,” Lisa continues. “The majority, if they’re in reasonable shape physically, want a C cup, if they’re chunkier they want a D cup and if they’re athletes they want a B cup. “A breast reduction is a very important functional operation – it is not cosmetic. Reconstructive surgery is for those who don’t look normal, but who want to look normal. Every patient tells me their breast reduction has been life changing.” But are there any down sides? Lisa admits: “Because we take out a huge slice with milk producing glands, a young woman will be able to lactate, but may have to supplement the breast feeding with bottles.” The only other negative aspect of surgery could be “spending a lot of money on new underwear sets and new clothes”.

Abraham Elton bought it in 1709 and it’s still a family home in the sense that his descendants live there – although it was donated to the National Trust in the 1960s. After being built in the medieval period, it has passed through the hands of several lords and earls and sections of the house have survived intact from the initial building.

Lunch on a budget Quirky and cool café

he Birdcage opened in this former bank in September 2012 and since then it has continued to improve and increase its food offering. When it first launched, the vintage clothes and live music aspects of the place seemed to take precedence over the modest café, but the dynamic seems to have changed. It now feels much more like a standalone daytime café that just happens to have a separate clothes business and busy events calendar at night, which still fits the owners’ tagline of “yesterday’s clothing, today’s coffee and tomorrow’s music”. An eye-catching corner building on the junction where Clare Street becomes Corn Street, The Birdcage has reconfigured the layout of the café and shop and this has made better use of the L-shaped space. There is a new, larger counter for the café, while the clothes shop has reduced in size and moved out of the corner, which is now used as an overspill for the café, with leather armchairs, Chesterfields and frilly standard lamps. It’s a quirky and cool place, with teetering piles of old leather suitcases and three flower-covered vintage bicycles stuck on one of the high walls. The main difference is the introduction of a new kitchen. When it first opened, there was no kitchen as such and much of the food was supplied by other businesses around St Nich-

olas Market. A few cakes are still bought in, but other than that, everything is now made on the premises by a chef. The small blackboard menu changes frequently, although the breakfast/brunch options tend to stay the same. These include eggs Florentine (£6.25) and the Birdcage breakfast (bacon, sausage, scrambled egg, sage mushrooms, “bloody Mary” baked beans and sourdough toast, £7.95). From a concise list of specials that included truffle sage mushrooms on sourdough toast and Parmesan (£4) and achari chicken curry (£6), I ordered the homemade ricotta gnocchi with asparagus, broad beans, peas, mint, lemon and Parmesan, which was the most expensive dish at £7. The firm lozenges of ricotta gnocchi had been finished in a hot pan, which gave them a nice caramelised crust. The asparagus was well timed, the spears retaining their crunch, and the shelled broad beans and peas were mixed with chopped mint and a generous sprinkling of grated Parmesan, which provided a salty lift. It was a vibrant and perfectly seasonal dish for a sunny May day. I followed this with a slice of moist and buttery lemon curd and raspberry cake (£2.85), made by Hart’s Bakery at Temple Meads, although I was assured that the other cakes, such as the chocolate stout cake and the gluten-free almond and orange cake, were baked on the premises.

Local lunch New chef at neighbourhood café

t may be because my dad grew up around there in the 1950s, but I have always felt an affinity with Easton. The terraced street where he lived as a boy no longer exists – it was demolished years ago and is now under a block of flats – and he wouldn’t really recognise much of his old stamping ground, but this corner of BS5 continues to evolve and improve. Last year, Londoner Chris Williams took a leap of faith when he gave up a well-paid job to open his first café and food shop in what had been a kebab and pizza takeaway around the corner from St Mark’s Road. Since the doors opened last May, there have been a few changes in personnel, but the recent arrival of chef Oliver White, formerly of the Folk House Café, has ensured that the food offering has remained consistently high and No 12 Easton now attracts customers from all over the city. It’s a compact but relaxed space, with a few pine tables, white walls and large retro lightbulbs with exposed filament bulbs. One wall is lined with shelves packed with kitchen staples, including bags of coffee beans from St Werburgh’s roasters, Extract, and bottles of Towles Fine Ales brewed in Lawrence Hill. There are also two glass-fronted chill cabinets piled high with locally sourced meat and poultry, charcuterie and cheeses.

20 EAT IT ● ● ● ● ●

And then there’s the vast range of freshly baked cakes on top of the counter – deep slices of carrot cake, glossy chocolate tarts and sticky, crumbly flapjacks. As I arrived, a rhubarb, strawberry and almond cake with cream cheese was just being carried out from the kitchen, the price label being handwritten by its proud maker. On a drizzly Friday lunchtime, No 12 Easton was packed with locals, many of them tapping away on laptops or trying to keep their toddlers amused. With a lively backdrop of ska and reggae, it was all very convivial and relaxed. Local suppliers dominate the menu, from the East Bristol Bakery bread used for the sandwiches to the Wiper and True Milkshake Stout added to the rarebit. Although vegetarians (of which there are many in BS5) are well served, there’s plenty for meat lovers – the five sausage and onion pie with salad and piccalilli (£5.95) and root beer-cured ham sandwich with cream cheese, pickles and salad (£4.95) being two lunchtime options. I went for the baked aubergine and goats’ cheese sandwich with basil and pine nut pesto (£4.95) – thick slices of springy sourdough filled with soft, baked aubergine, a layer of tangy goats’ cheese and a dribble of punchy, pungent pesto, with enough wild garlic to fell any passing vampires.

Food ★★★★★ Service ★★★★✩ Ambience ★★★★✩

22 EAT IT ● ● ● ● ●

wenty years ago, dinner in a village pub rarely extended further than a pickled egg or a plate of greasy gammon, egg and chips. How things have changed for the better. Since the gastropub revolution of the 1990s, it’s increasingly difficult to find a Farrow & Ball-painted village pub that doesn’t offer a menu that wouldn’t look out of place in a Michelin-starred restaurant. In fact, some pubs are now Michelin-starred and, judging from this meal, The Bird in Hand may well be the next to win that accolade. At the moment, Toby Gritten’s pub holds a coveted Bib Gourmand from Michelin, which isn’t a star but recognition of a restaurant (or pub) that offers excellent food at an affordable price. The Bib was awarded under the previous head chef, Jake Platt, who has moved on, but I’m sure new incumbent Jack Williams has his sights on holding on to it, if not winning the pub a star of its own. Williams used to work with Gritten at The Bird in Hand’s sibling pub, The Pump House in Hotwells, but prior to that he did stints at riverstation and the Michelin-starred Wilks. In the evening, the pub’s small separate dining area is a welcoming, candlelit bolt-hole with dark teal-coloured walls dotted with carefully selected vintage posters for Wills Wild Woodbines and old enamel signs for local

from Friday, May 16, 2014

businesses such as Robinson’s and Duck, Son & Pinker. In the bar, a gaggle of locals were chatting away over pints of Butcombe and Box Steam Brewery ales. It was all very affable. Williams’ menu is strictly seasonal and the food has a sharp focus on local and foraged ingredients. A starter of duck liver, gizzards, smoked hearts, watercress and radish (£6.50) read more like a line from Silent Witness, but it was a beak-to-tail dish of the highest order. The liver appeared as a slice of the smoothest, creamiest parfait, spreading effortlessly on ample hot toast. The juicy pieces of smoked hearts and gizzards were arranged artfully on the plate with razor-thin slices of radish, skinless segments of orange and ruffles of peppery watercress. It was a successful dish and a cheeky contemporary take on the classic duck a l’orange. Sticking with the nose-to-tail theme, braised beef tongue and cheek (£14.50) appeared as a thick slice of ridiculously tender, gelatinous piece of cheek with matchsticks of tongue that had been pickled after being braised – a neat idea – and served with crunchy, buttery spring greens, chewy and creamy pearl barley and a rich jus heady with wet garlic. Rhubarb jelly and vanilla custard ice cream (£5.50) was a playful upgrade on the nursery favourite – the pink jelly scoring nine out of ten on the wobble factor and benefiting from the lemony addition of hibiscus.

GRAIN BARGE HOTWELLS

hatever you think of George Ferguson, you certainly can’t argue with our red-trousered mayor’s pubs. I have long been a fan of The Barley Mow in The Dings, a tucked-away community pub that remains one of the city’s very best alehouses. Similarly, the Grain Barge, moored at Mardyke Wharf in Hotwells, is a floating real ale pub par excellence and the place was packed when I visited last Thursday – although that may have been more to do with the fact it was the weekly steak night. Both The Barley Mow and Grain Barge are owned by Bristol Beer Factory, of which Ferguson is a partner, and they showcase the Ashton-based brewery’s range of ales, on keg and cask. This is the seventh summer for Grain Barge, the 1936-built engineless barge that used to carry cargoes of barley and wheat across the Severn estuary. With its 270 degree view of the harbour and the ss Great Britain opposite, Grain Barge occupies an enviable position and its al fresco top deck is a real draw when the sun shines. There were three Bristol Beer Factory cask

ales on offer this time – Seven, Nova and Sunrise – as well as Independence and Belgian Conspiracy on keg. There was also Butcombe Haka and Dark Star Hophead, but being well acquainted with these, I was more interested in trying the Bad Seed Brewery IPA, a hazy, citrussy, fruity new beer from North Yorkshire, which, at 6.1 per cent, packed quite a punch. For cider drinkers, the choice is equally head-scratching, with Orchard Pig Ginger and Chilli Maverick, Orchard Pig Reveller and Ashton Press among the potent apple tipples. During the day, there is an extensive menu of sandwiches, pies, salads, burgers and steaks, with “pie and pint” night on Wednesdays. The Thursday steak nights are hugely popular, which is hardly surprising considering an 8oz rump steak and chips (or mash and greens) costs only £10. Of course, you don’t have to eat here, although bar snacks such as pork pie and onion chutney, and fried black pudding with HP sauce, may be equally hard to resist. ■ Mardyke Wharf, Hotwell Road, Hotwells, Bristol, BS8 4RU. 0117 929 9347

WINE OF THE WEEK LOUIS LATOUR P O U I L L Y- V I N Z E L L E S E N PARADIS 2012 ■ Louis Latour Pouilly-Vinzelles En Paradis 2012 is £14.99 at Majestic, or £12.99 if you buy two. As a role model for the white wines of the Mâconnais, this will do very nicely. You get textbook sherbet-mineral chardonnay perfume and a rush of racy but exotic fruits with notions of green pepper. A deluxe burgundy made without oak, and at a fair price.

Quick, easy and packed with flavour

omy Gill opened her first restaurant, Romy’s Kitchen, in Thornbury at the end of last year and it has quickly become one of the region’s most talked about new eateries. Specialising in healthy, nutritious Indian food, the restaurant in Castle Street is the culmination of five years’ hard work, during which time Romy hosted dinner parties, held cookery classes and launched her own range of Indian sauces and spice mixes. The menu at Romy’s Kitchen is made up of dishes Romy has fine-tuned over the years – a mix of family recipes, dishes from her childhood and food she cooks at home for her husband and two children. The food is authentic, home-cooked and showcases local produce as well as specialist Indian ingredients. Many of the dishes are tapas-size to encourage sharing at the table. The cauliflower dish aloo gobi has become a standard menu item in most high street Indian restaurants and it is a popular dish in India, where every household makes it to their own family recipe. Romy says you can make aloo gobi many different ways and her version is quick, easy and packed with flavour. She says: “Aloo gobi is the most common vegetarian dish in India. Cauliflower is grown widely in north India during winter months and is available in abundance. “Cauliflower doesn’t have much flavour on its own but it absorbs different spices and herbs really well. It can be made into pakoras, cooked with potatoes and dry spices (aloo gobi), mixed vegetable sabzi (peas, potatoes, French beans, cauliflower and carrots) or gobi parathas (naan stuffed with grated cauliflower, ginger and dry spices). “Blanching the cauliflower helps to cook it quicker and get rid of the smell. Cauliflower is a very versatile vegetable and you can make so many different dishes out of it.” Romy says that aloo gobi can be eaten as part of a main meal with yoghurt, daal and chapati. It can also be put into pitta bread pockets and taken for picnics instead of sandwiches.

A feast of treats for the soul Jon Bennett learns how to relax in style in the Cotswolds

ometimes you just want to stop the world and get off for a little while. The Dormy House Hotel and Spa is a place where you can do just that. It takes about an hour from Bristol – straight up the M5 – to reach Dormy House, and it makes a pleasant change to travel to a hotel as a destination in its own right because, once you arrive, there is an instinctive desire to hunker down and make the most of the indulgent surroundings. Dormy House has recently undergone a £10 million transformation, and, thanks to some hard work by some of the country’s top designers (Todhunter Earle, who designed Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons), what was a quaint country homestead has become a stylish and welcoming boutique hotel.

On arrival at the 17th-century farmhouse, you would never guess what delights await inside. Other than the doormen on duty, a first glimpse of the exterior gives few clues as to how much the place has changed within. Stepping into the foyer, decorative Jacobean wood panelling and exposed beams give a historic insight into its past. Look a little closer, however, and you start to notice the tasteful curiosities and decorative furniture which give this hotel its distinctive edge. There is an eclectic mix of old and new – which is tricky to achieve, but they have really succeeded here – and as you walk around the facilities it’s hard to resist the urge to reach out and touch the beautifully tactile objets d’art.

the rear of the original building, you start to get a fuller understanding of where the millions have been spent. The new spa, which only opened this year, is breathtakingly beautiful. With its 16-metre infinity pool, Veuve Clicquot Champagne Nail Bar, outdoor “bubble bath” and extensive thermal suite, it is hard to do anything other than relax and indulge in the peace and tranquillity on offer. The treatments themselves are reasonably priced and the therapists specialise in massage – my wife and I spent the day heeding the spa’s mantra of “heat, cool, relax, repeat”. I did indeed float out of the spa and back to our room, which in itself was a lesson in how to “do” relaxation. We stayed in a Splendid suite, in the farm’s

beautifully appointed former stable block. Splendid in its simplicity, the chalet-style room enjoyed the kind of details – Samsung tablet, Nespresso machine, fluffy robes, mood lighting – that elevate it above the norm. After all that relaxing, when it was time for food there was no need to drive for miles to find a good country pub, as the Dormy House has two options of its own: The Potting Shed, which serves down-to-earth rustic fare in a relaxed atmosphere, and The Garden Room, which offers more of a fine-dining experience, with input from Michelin-starred chef John Wood. We chose to eat in the Potting Shed, where the seasonal country food is sourced locally. My favourite was the baked Camembert shared starter which we had on the second night of

our stay, as well as the deliciously indulgent venison burger. The ambrosial breakfast is served in the contemporary Garden Room, looking out across landscapes designed by award-winning gardener Chris Beardshaw. The eggs benedict were divine, but with a table full of continental and traditional English delicacies and juices to choose from, it’s a wonder anyone ever gets out of Dormy House without having gained a few pounds. More active guests do, of course, make use of the facilities and courses on offer at the adjacent Farncombe Conference Centre, take in a game of golf next door or simply go for a yomp along the Cotswold Way. I didn’t do any such thing, however, and why would I? I went to Dormy House Hotel & Spa to step off the world, and I did just that.

Bunnyman digs deep for personal new album GIG OF THE WEEK: Echo & The Bunnymen, O2 Academy

I’m writing ❝ soliloquies up

there with Shakespeare. I need to be as good as him.

28 HEAR IT ● ● ● ● ●

from Friday, May 16, 2014

t may be 30 years ago but Ian McCulloch doesn’t need reminding about Echo & The Bunnymen’s gig at Bristol’s Colston Hall in 1984. “Yeah, that was a great show and it was also the first gig the boys from the Manic Street Preachers ever saw,” says the Bunnymen frontman on the phone from his Liverpool home. At the time, Richey Edwards, James Dean Bradfield and Sean Moore were teenage fans of Echo & The Bunnymen and they made the trip over from South Wales to see their favourite band on the legendary Ocean Rain tour. It was one of the gigs that inspired them to form the Manic Street Preachers, a mutual appreciation that was repaid in 2010 when McCulloch collaborated with the Manics on the song Some Kind of Nothingness, from the album Postcards From A Young Man. This weekend, Echo & The Bunnymen – featuring McCulloch and original guitarist Will Sergeant – return to Bristol to perform tracks from their new album, Meteorites. “It will be great to be back in Bristol,” says the 55-year-old singer. “The tour is selling really well and I’ve just been writing the set list – it’s basically the new album and Ocean Rain, with a few other old favourites.” McCulloch is quick to describe the new album as “our best since Ocean Rain, more edgy than anything I’ve done”, before admitting that it’s a record on which he deals with things he didn’t want to confront for a long time.

Rewind 12 months and McCulloch found himself in a dark place. After leading Echo & The Bunnymen through 35 years of epic highs and turbulent lows, the singer realised it was time to take a break and look inwards. McCulloch’s songwriting partnership with guitarist Will Sergeant had virtually ground to a halt. What’s more, years of rock excess and running away from personal problems had left him feeling adrift and unsettled. “I wasn’t happy with a lot of stuff,” admits the singer. “Emotionally I was at a very low ebb.” Holed up in his Liverpool flat, mired in self-reflection, McCulloch started writing music, a process that instantly proved cathartic and fruitful. “Straight away I felt better for it,” he explains. “I had been thinking of taking five years off on an island, or whatever, but suddenly all these songs came from nowhere. It was really exciting and fresh. This record’s about my personal journey, my rebirth, even if it is a Bunnymen record.” Meteorites – the group’s 12th studio album since they formed in 1978 – does, indeed, sound like an exhilarating renaissance, an intricately crafted work with a poetic brilliance and emotional grandeur that places it on a par with the Bunnymen’s greatest records from the Eighties and Nineties, notably pysch-pop debut Crocodiles (1980), the majestic Heaven Up Here (1981), orchestral-rock masterpiece Ocean Rain (1984) and Britpop-era comeback Evergreen (1997). But for all the classic Bunnymen hallmarks – McCulloch’s aching, velvety tenor, Sergeant’s shimmering guitar work – the new album’s

most striking feature is its unprecedented and startling lyrical candour. Deeply personal and revelatory, it sees McCulloch finally facing up to his demons with an honesty that his previous records, however emotionally raw, have invariably shied away from. Among McCulloch’s startling self-realisations was that his upbringing in Liverpool may have profoundly scarred him in ways he hadn’t comprehended. “It was me finally seeing what people close to me could see for so many years, like my wife, my friends. I remember, my wife saying, ‘You think it hasn’t affected you, the way your dad was?’ – he was a compulsive gambler, everyone loved him, but they also thought he was fraught with deep problems. “My wife said, ‘You don’t see how much you are your dad’ but instead of me going, ‘oh yeah, I’m an idiot’, I wanted to write about it, and see where it gets me and takes me.” For McCulloch, Meteorites has been a journey of self-discovery that’s resulted in a record he believes to be up there with the Bunnymen’s best – only more truthful, lyrically powerful and spiritually cleansing. “It’s been a way of dealing with where you’re at, though it doesn’t necessarily stop the pain,” he explains. “As a friend of mine says, ‘you’re never out of the woods’. “But now I’m doing it properly, I’m writing soliloquies up there with Shakespeare. I need to be as good as him, not some d*ckhead in a rock band.” ■ Sunday, May 18. See listings for details.

JIMI GOODWIN THEKLA

museum pieces, but as relevant and very human artworks. Four time nominee at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, her own songs range in subject matter from fairy tales to working class history, via childhood nostalgia, myth, murder and the human condition, touching on both the fantastical, storytelling elements of Kate Bush, and the lovelorn song-writing craft of Carole King. Her latest album, Battleplan, has won universal critical acclaim and this is a rare chance to see one of folk’s brightest stars in such intimate surroundings.

aving spent the last decade and a bit fronting Manchester band Doves, Jimi Goodwin was nervous about making his own music. He needn’t have worried. Bouncing joyfully from genre to genre, Odludek has all the thrill and excitement of an artist’s debut record whilst also displaying the wealth of experience of someone who’s spent the last two decades making inspirational music. Impossible to pigeonhole, properly addictive and hook heavy, Odludek is already being hailed as one of the albums of 2014. After arena shows supporting Elbow last month, Goodwin has now embarked on his first full solo tour. “As I got into making the record, it felt like I was proving something to myself, making a point that I could do all this on my own,” says the Doves frontman. “I can play bass, I can play guitar, I can orchestrate. Odludek is me, powering through ideas, no pause for breath. It’s not trying to be wilfully eclectic; it’s just a reflection of how I schizophrenically devour music.”

COMING SOON ART GARFUNKEL

illed as “An intimate evening with….” the man who made up one half of the most legendary folk duos of all time is coming to Bristol’s Colston Hall on Wednesday, September 10. It’s part of a tour that will delight his fans, after he recovered from vocal chord problems that were first diagnosed four years ago. Given that his voice, at the peak of its powers, was regarded as one of the most beautiful male singing voices in the world, it would have been a tragedy if he’d never performed again.

40 WEEKEND

from Friday, May 16, 2014

Big-budget beasts of Jurassic proportions

n Steven Spielberg’s box-office behemoth Jurassic Park, geneticists arrogantly believe they can tame Mother Nature with cutting-edge science. “Life finds a way,” warns Jeff Goldblum’s fatalistic chaos mathematician. These wise words and Spielberg’s entire 1993 blockbuster provide the guiding light for Gareth Edwards’s bombastic resurrection of cinema’s iconic reptile. The Warwickshire-born director harks back to Ishiro Honda’s groundbreaking 1954 film Gojira, which reflected Japanese society’s fears in the aftermath of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In Edwards’s film, the titular 355-feet tall creature boasts familiar dorsal fins, lumbering gait and fiery radioactive breath, and is securely tethered to timely concerns about the environmental consequences of nuclear power. A mine in the Philippine jungle collapses, exposing the remains of two seemingly fossilised and highly radioactive creatures. One of the monsters hatches and runs amok, and despite the best efforts of Dr Ishiro Serizawa (Ken Watanabe) and his colleague Dr Vivienne Graham (Sally Hawkins), its mate also escapes confinement. US Navy Admiral William Stenz (David Strathairn) co-ordinates the response and sends his men into battle, including Lieutenant Ford Brody (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), whose parents (Bryan Cranston, Juliette

Binoche) worked at the Janjira nuclear plant, where one creature began its rampage. Meanwhile, in San Francisco, Ford’s wife Elle (Elizabeth Olsen) prepares to evacuate with their four-year-old son Sam (Carson Bolde). When military might fails to halt the devastation and hope dims, alpha predator Godzilla emerges from the deep... Edwards’s picture opens with a helicopter ride that could have been airlifted from Jurassic Park and continues with the Spielbergean nods, including theme park ride-style action sequences and children in peril. Chilling images of Cranston and Taylor-Johnson entering a Japanese quarantine zone and a tender moment between the two M.U.T.O.s (Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms) explicitly reference Edwards’s low budget debut, Monsters. The director manages to convey the titular reptile’s feelings in the midst of battle. Human emotions are much harder to unearth. Taylor-Johnson is a bland all-American hero and heavyweights Cranston and Binoche don’t have sufficient screen time to deliver the wallop we crave. Ken Watanabe – or Obi-Wan Watanabe as he should be renamed – is reduced to philosophising about our failings. The beasts battle it out and reduce the Pacific coast to rubble in a titanic tussle of computer-generated sound and fury that should take a large bite out of the UK box office, much like Spielberg’s T-Rex.

GODZILLA (12A, 123 mins). Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston and Juliette Binoche.

VERDICT Godzilla is a technically accomplished hunk of large-scale monster-mashing. You can see every cent of the rumoured 160 million dollar budget and the director makes good use of the 3D format by reflecting carnage in mirrors and glass.

BRISTOL BAD FILM CLUB: PULGASARI THE CUBAN, HARBOURSIDE ■ There are few films with as interesting a backstory as Pulgasari (also known as Bulgasari). While Kim Jong-Il may be best known as North Korea’s Great Leader, he was also a massive movie buff. And he knew the power of cinema as a form of propaganda and set out to create a film industry based on North Korea’s ideology. Unfortunately, the country’s hugely restrictive environment meant that creativity was hard to come. Unable to find a local director to make his vision a reality, Kim Jong-Il decided to kidnap one.

■ �� ■ �� ■ �� VUE �� ■ �� ■ �� ■ �� ■ �� ■ �� ■ �� ■ �� ■ �� ■ �� ■ ��

Shin Sang-ok was one of South Korea’s most respected directors. During his “stay” in North Korea (including four years in prison), Shin Sang-ok made seven films, with Kim Jong-Il acting as producer on all of them. The most famous is Kaiju (monster) movie Pulgasari. The film tells the tale of a starving village under threat from a selfish leader (irony alert!) who bring to life the titular monster (created with rice and blood) to overthrow the evil dictator.

Echoes of Hitchcock in subterranean gloom

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARY (12A, 96 mins). Starring Viggo Mortensen and Kirsten Dunst.

VERDICT: Hossein Amini’s slow-burning film conceals its Machiavellian machinations behind an elegant facade of impeccable period costumes and picturesque cinematography.

Score ★★★✩✩

44 SEE IT

●●●●●

ike Agatha Christie before her, Patricia Highsmith repeatedly challenged the moral compass of her readers with disturbing psychological thrillers that nudged her characters to the brink of madness. In her debut novel, Strangers On A Train, she conceived a seemingly perfect murder for every disgruntled husband, which Hitchcock brilliantly adapted for the big screen. Almost 50 years later, Anthony Minghella tapped into the disturbing sexual undercurrents of her 1955 novel The Talented Mr Ripley for a hauntingly seductively jaunt through Italy that netted five Oscar nominations. The Two Faces Of January was published almost a decade after Highsmith unleashed her iconic con artist, Tom Ripley, and once again, she indulges in obsession-fuelled skulduggery – albeit against a vivid backdrop of sun-baked 1960s Athens. Hossein Amini’s assured directorial debut is sweeping in scope, and the focus of his lean script is the characters’ strained relationships and, notably, the frayed bonds of trust between two men, who must rely on each other to escape a hairy predicament of their own making. The film opens at the Acropolis, where American businessman Chester MacFarland (Viggo Mortensen) and younger wife Colette (Kirsten Dunst) cut elegant figures on the steps of the citadel. Greek-speaking guide Rydal (Oscar Isaac),

from Friday, May 16, 2014

who scams unsuspecting tourists out of hard-earned drachmas, is drawn to the glamorous couple and he gladly accepts their invitation to dinner. At the end of the night, as he makes his way home, Rydal discovers Colette has mislaid a possession on the back seat of the taxi so he asks the driver to make a detour to the MacFarlands’ exclusive hotel. Unexpectedly, Rydal walks in on Chester moving the seemingly unconscious body of a man (David Warshofsky) into another room. The businessman explains that he was protecting his wife. Blinded by his infatuation with Colette, Rydal pledges his help and suggests a means to obtain fake passports and escape the country. As the trio head for the coast, the police give chase. “We’re joined at the hip,” Chester assures Rydal. “I get caught, I take you down. You get caught, you turn me in.” Shot on location in Greece and Turkey, The Two Faces Of January nods appreciatively to both Highsmith and Hitchcock, ratcheting up tension as the two men trade verbal blows in order to secure Colette’s divided affections. Mortensen and Isaac relish these fractious exchanges, creating a twisted father-son dynamic, with Oedipal yearnings for Dunst’s third wheel. Her role feels slightly undernourished, but she’s pivotal to the on-screen chicanery and the film’s centrepiece sequence in subterranean gloom.

Thrilling, audacious and totally original, Matthew Bourne’s legendary production transforms one of ballet’s best-loved stories into a stylish, contemporary tale with extravagant, award-winning designs by Lez Brotherston. Powerful and provocative, Swan Lake took the dance world by storm when it premiered at Sadler’s Wells in 1995. The production, which appears in Bristol for the first time from Tuesday, May 20, to Saturday, May 24, has since become the longest-running ballet in London’s West End and on Broadway. Best-known for replacing the traditional female corps de ballet with a menacing male ensemble, Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake blends dance, style, humour, spectacle, character comedy and mime to create a truly modern ballet. A five-time Olivier Award winner, and the only British director to have won Tony Awards for both Best Choreographer and Best Director of a Musical, Matthew Bourne has changed the landscape of dance forever. For Matthew, whose other stunning ballets include Cinderella and Edward Scissorhands, Swan Lake had a particular appeal. He says: “I could see an opportunity to create a human story, with the potential for great dramatic power and range, indulge my satirical and humorous leanings

W:39.13mm H:43.409mm

as well as create whole suites of abstract movement to some of the best dance music ever written. Irresistible!” The most talked about innovation in this production is the casting of a male dancer in the coveted role of Odette/Odile, known as The Swan. Matthew says: “The idea of a male swan makes complete sense to me. The strength, the beauty, the enormous wingspan of these creatures suggests to me the musculature of a male dancer more readily than a ballerina in her white tutu.” The impressive dancers come from a diverse range of backgrounds, including Rambert Dance Company, Northern Ballet Theatre, the BBC’s So You Think You Can Dance and the West End. Returning to the iconic role of The Swan are two powerful leading men, Jonathan Ollivier and Chris Trenfield, who have both put their stamp on the role in the past. Originally written by Tchaikovsky in the late 19th century, Swan Lake was staged at Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre in 1877, but it wasn’t until 18 years later – and after the death of its composer – that it was finally staged in St Petersburg, and became a universal classic. Swan Lake has gone through many different interpretations since its creation. And while Matthew’s production is innovative and surprising, it retains two of the essentials that make Swan Lake so well loved – Tchaikovsky’s great score and the story of our constant yearning for an unattainable ideal. ■ Tuesday, May 20, to Saturday, May 24.

Theatre Don’t Miss FROM THE CRADLE TO THE BIN CIRCOMEDIA ■ Mr Whitey has never had anything to complain about his whole life. Even when things are at their very worst, he always manages a laugh and a smile. So it’s something of a surprise when his loving family decide that he can no longer look after himself and pack him away to the capable folk at Happy Valley Care Homes. From The Cradle To The Bin follows Mr Whitey on his journey through this bizarre world of modern health care services, and all the characters he meets along the way, as he tries to maintain his optimistic attitude towards life. A Ship Of Fools theatre company takes a playful stab at society and all its pretensions in a devilishly funny and righteously grotesque manner. Expect to be charmed and disgusted in equal measure by this hilarious troupe of international performers, in a joyfully anarchic piece of Bouffon theatre. ■ Friday, May 16. See listings for details.

ROBIN HOOD ASHTON COURT

■ Set in the stunning woodland of Ashton Court Gardens, the world of Sherwood Forest will be brought to merry life by Clifton Amateur Dramatic Society (CADS) next week. CADS presents a rare outdoor production of Larry Blamire’s distinct comedic take on the famous Robin Hood legend. The show will see Robin Hood and his band of outlaws, including the feisty Maid Marion, battling with the nefarious Sheriff of Nottingham, the impish Bishop and the deceptive King John, with swashbuckling sword fights, cracking comedy and romping romance.

Art, colour and fun in the neighbourhood

Picture: Fran Stothard

PICK OF THE WEEK Southbank Arts Trail, homes and venues around Southville, Bedminster and Ashton

ummer seems to be approaching – and with it, right on cue, comes Bristol’s first neighbourhood art trail of the year. One of the oldest, biggest and best of the popular neighbourhood art trails that have sprung up around town, Southbank returns this weekend with art and performance in 50 homes, churches, community centres and public houses around Southville, Bedminster and Ashton. The trail is run by SBA Bristol Arts, which promotes artists and celebrates creativity throughout BS3 via exhibitions, art workshops and community events. It’s one of Bristol’s most popular trails, with an impressive average of 4,000-5,000 visitors each day – with one house alone recording 600 visitors on the first day last year. This year, 150 local artists will exhibit work and the weekend makes for a great way to meet them in a relaxed environment and pick up a piece of artwork, or commission a unique gift. The theme for the 2014 trail is Robots – which means that, as well as intriguing robotthemed artworks popping up around the trail, there will also be a number of workshops for

youngsters, plus children’s art exhibitions at Southville and Ashton Gate primary schools. Elsewhere, one of this year’s highlights is BRISWOOL – a vast scale model of our city, knitted, crocheted and needle felted by more than 90 volunteers. The eye-catching results will be on display at Paper Village, 200 North Street. Local businesses, in fact, are showing plenty of support for the trail. Visit the SBA website (www.sbaweb.co.uk) to see how you can get involved with the one-off community oven at Mark’s Bread (share free toast from a giant homemade loaf), see live micro-brewing from the Bristol Beer Factory, make music with Rhymetime at North Street café The Bubbahub, and much more. You can use the website to plan your weekend, or simply pick up your trail guide from the Southville Centre, Paper Village, the Tobacco Factory and other venues across BS3 and beyond. Participating artists include Pete Gilbert, who paints watercolours of South Bristol scenes; Emily Ketteringham, whose screenprints are inspired by south and west Bristol’s colourful terraces; and Stuart Low, fresh from a solo exhibition of his stained glass at the Devon Guild of Master Craftsmen. Katie Mur-

ton, who has exhibited at every SBA trail since its debut in 2003, creates architectural ornaments inspired by European cathedrals and chateaux, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a street in South Bristol without one of her distinctive black glaze house number plates. First-time exhibitor Stephen Quick, meanwhile, whose influences include the pop art movement, will be painting live at the Tobacco Factory all weekend. One of Southbank’s recent success stories, Angie Parker, will be showcasing her new collection of hand-woven textiles ahead of an exhibition at New Designers in London – having being selected for the prestigious Crafts Council business programme, Hothouse. “The Arts Trail really helped to get my business off the ground,” Angie explains. “On the back of my sales at last year’s trail, I invested in some professional photos of my work. That helped me to get selected for Hothouse, which in turn sees me exhibiting at New Designers in London. It’s been an amazing turnaround for a small business – and the Southbank trail has played a big part.” ■ Saturday, May 17 and Sunday, May 18. See listings for details.

END OF THE LINE WEAPON OF CHOICE GALLERY ■ Park Street’s graffiti and street art hub Weapon of Choice welcomes a series of new works by Bristol graffiti artist Cheo – one of the best-known and most popular of the posse of artists that started painting around Bristol in the mid 1980s. A long-term collaborator of the now world-famous Inkie (the duo were runners-up, way back in 1989, at the World Graffiti Art Championships held in Bridlington), Cheo is much loved around Bristol and far beyond for his bright, cartoonish studies of bees, bugs, and various cool characters hanging out on street corners. This show, intriguingly, will feature works drawn on to maps of the London Underground and elsewhere. It will also be the last at WoC’s current Park Street home before the gallery heads out on the road for a series of new collaborative projects and pop-up shows. ■ Friday, May 16, to Sunday, June 1. See listings for details.

VICTORIAN PHOTO PARLOUR THE ISLAND ■ This month’s excellent Bristol Festival of Photography (see www.bfop.org for a full rundown of events) continues with this exhibition-cum-installation by artist/photographer Michael Schaaf. Based both in Germany and the South West, Schaaf works entirely with the wet collodion photography process – one of the oldest photographic techniques, created in 1851. “The process is completely handcrafted and produces one-of-a-kind photographs on glass within minutes,” Michael explains. “It is called the ‘wet collodion process’ because the plates must not dry out; you coat a plate with collodion solution and put it into the silver bath, then it goes straight into the camera and has to be developed directly after the exposure.” Pop along to The Island to have your portrait taken in the same style as those iconic images of Queen Victoria, President Lincoln and Isambard Kingdom Brunel – or simply watch and marvel at this technique from the dawn of photography. “I love this process because it is completely handmade,” Michael concludes. “Whenever I want to make a picture, I’ll have to start with a blank glass plate and then do everything from scratch. I even make my own photographic paper, so the whole process is in my hands. On the downside, I always know who to blame if something goes wrong.”

■ This beguiling group exhibition brings together five artists whose paintings, collage and ceramics all show an abiding interest in visual exploration. The five – Mark Alexander, Angela Baum (Pink, pictured), Graham Knight, Marguerite Knight and Barbara Norquoy – have exhibited jointly many times, and their contrasting styles always make for an exciting selection for anyone interested in contemporary abstract art.

■ Wednesday, May 21, to Sunday, May 25. See listings for details.

raig Campbell is one of the finest examples of the extensive Canadian comic diaspora that has spread across Britain. Campbell, Glenn Wool, Stewart Francis… many comics from The Great White North have made their home here, and we have to say the standard among them is high. Campbell is a laid-back, long-haired hippie type who specialises in surreal scenarios and hilariously bizarre, slow-burn anecdotes: he has lived for many years down in rural Devon and is a frequent and very popular visitor to Bristol. Campbell’s fame has spread wider than the South West, mind: he has supported Frankie Boyle on his last two sell-out national tours, as well as stealing the show on both Russell Howard’s Good News and Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow. We’d heartily recommend this one: he’s a hugely charismatic, theatrical performer and a great storyteller. “One of the most skilled storytellers and jokesmiths on the circuit,” enthused chortle.co.uk, and we’d concur.

THE GIRL WHO WAS SATURDAY NIGHT HEATHER O’NEILL ■ Canadian author Heather O’Neill caught critics’ attention with her debut Lullabies for Little Criminals in 2006 and took her time to polish its successor, which shows with another well-constructed book. It reads as a memoir by Nouschka, the daughter of Quebec poet-singer Etienne Tremblay, who left Nouschka and her twin brother, Nicolas, with his own parents after impregnating a 14-year-old fan. In childhood, the twins were accessories to his fame, but now, aged 19, they are working-class school drop-outs. Nouschka’s fight to escape her deadbeat destiny parallels the 1995 referendum for Quebec independence, which O’Neill uses to anchor the novel and to question reliance and dependency. Her characters are a dark mirror of celebrity culture and with so much going on, O’Neill proves a master plate spinner.

Dark reality in a chilling thriller

■ Paperback by Quercus, priced £12.99 (eBook £5.66).

BOOK OF THE WEEK: The Accident by C L Taylor

ristol author C L Taylor is making a transition from her established genre of women’s fiction to write a psychological suspense novel. The central theme of her debut thriller, The Accident, evolved while she was pregnant with her first child; she became fearful that someone could get to and hurt her child and there would be nothing she could do to stop it. C L decided to confront those dark thoughts by writing them down and what she saw when reading them back was the thread of the story that became The Accident. Central character Sue Jackson has the perfect family, but when her teenage daughter Charlotte steps in front of a bus and ends up in a coma she is forced to face a very dark reality. Sue can’t believe that Charlotte would deliberately try to kill herself, but as she retraces her daughter’s steps she finds a horrifying entry in Charlotte’s diary: “Keeping this secret is killing me.” Does someone want to harm Charlotte? Whose secret is she keeping? In her hunt for

evidence, Sue begins to mistrust everyone close to her daughter as she’s forced to look further into the depths of her own past. C L lives in Knowle with her partner and young son. She has a degree in psychology from the University of Northumbria, Newcastle, and moved to London after graduating to work in medical publishing. She later moved to Brighton where she worked as a graphic designer, web developer and instructional designer for the following 13 years. Now, while also working as a distance learning design and development manager for a London university, C L is penning her fourth novel, another psychological thriller, this time about friendships, mind control and murder.

FUTEBOL NATION: A FOOTBALLING HISTORY OF BRAZIL DAVID GOLDBLATT ■ David Goldblatt’s tremendous new book may be carefully timed, but it is no World Cup cash-in. In eight roughly chronological chapters he explores football’s increasingly central influence in Brazilian history, culture, and sense of self, from its post-colonial inception among an urban elite keen for a European veneer, and on through the rapidly changing socio-political landscape of the 20th century. Focused less on events on the pitch than their direct relation to those in the stands, city streets, and Presidential offices, Goldblatt excels in his research. From the football-centred search for multicultural Brasilidade (‘Brazilianness’) of the first half of the 20th century, to the military dictatorship and rising violence and systemic corruption of its later decades (not forgetting five World Cups) the narrative is compelling. ■ Paperback by Penguin, priced £9.99 (eBook £7).

The scene is set with the oak ledged and braced timber front door, which opens to the hallway, where an arrow-slit window overlooks the lounge. The lounge is a bright room thanks to a window framing a view of the garden and French doors with sides panes reaching right up to the beamed and vaulted ceiling. A display niche at the opposite end of the room is perfect for a TV and wooden floorboards add a further rustic touch. Like the lounge, one wall of the study, the third reception room and the dining room comprise exposed stone. The latter room is covered with pale ceramic floor tiles and skirting that also appear in the kitchen. Here, the wooden units are covered with black granite work surfaces, including the central island, which doubles as a breakfast bar. Space has been left for a dishwasher, while built-in appliances include a larder fridge, ceramic induction hob and an electric double oven.

60 S E E I T ● ● ● ● ●

There are two roof lights in addition to a window, while a timber stable door leads to the utility room, where you’ll find a Belfast sink, quarry tiled floor, space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and for an American-style fridge/freezer. A further stable door here opens to the rear garden. Elsewhere is a cloakroom that includes a vanity unit upon which sits a slab of marble and a contemporary round wash basin. Completing the ground floor is a bedroom and en suite shower room, with four further bedrooms (three en suite) upstairs reached off a galleried landing. Two of these bedrooms (including the master) have vaulted beamed ceilings and all three bath/shower rooms have white suites. In addition, the third bedroom has a dressing room, with a bank of fitted wardrobes. And now to the outdoor space, starting in the east-facing front garden, featuring a lawn and raised flower beds extending to 88ft (26.82m) wide and surrounded by a stone wall. A Tarmac driveway leads to an integral double garage. At the rear, which faces west, is a further large lawn, a flagstone and concrete patio and a barbecue area with pitched canopy over, again all bordered by a stone wall. Outbuildings include a store room and a single-storey barn divided into two rooms under a tiled and pitched roof, with two Velux roof lights. In the courtyard is plenty of parking space.

TERRY THE ODD JOB MAN LIVE! SATURDAY, APRIL 26 ■ Southmead handyman Terry the Odd Job Man – the alter-ego of comedian Jody Kamali – became a minor YouTube sensation back in 2007 with his hilarious short films, which mixed DIY coaching with insights into the Bristolian dialect. He returns now to perform this one-off live show at the Southmead Community Centre, right in Terry/Jody’s own heartland. When his fame first broke, Terry memorably coached Baywatch star David Hasselhoff in the local dialect on BBC Radio Bristol. His fan base has now spread further, with Bristolians saving his pet phrases as ringtones and university lecturers using

his videos as part of their English degree courses. Now Jody, who trained in clowning and is a regular performer on the London comedy circuit and Edinburgh Festival, has created a live show dedicated to life in Bristol. Tonight’s one-off will contain some of Terry’s infamous Bristolian Language Lessons, plus Bristolian Bingo, songs, extracts from his book 50 Shades of Bristol (written entirely in dialect, naturally) and plenty more. ■ Southmead Community Centre, 248 Greystoke Ave, Bristol, 8pm, £7.50. 0117 950 1187/ www.terrytheoddjobman.com.

INSTANT WIT SATURDAY, APRIL 26 ■ Prepare for a joyous evening of songs, gags and general silliness, as the brilliant, Bristol-based quickfire comedy improv group pitch up at Kingswood’s intimate Brass Works Theatre. Instant Wit use an impressive, changing roster of local actors and comics, depending on their availability: tonight’s line-up includes the excellent Chris Bianchi, recently seen in Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory’s Richard III. Instant Wit create their hilarious, fast-paced scenarios from audience suggestions, which can be as outlandish as you like. “Maybe you’ve always wanted to hear a medieval madrigal containing lines you might find written in a teenager’s diary, or watch a sketch where some ninja cockroaches take over 10 Downing Street? Your wish is our

command,” reveals long-term Instant Wit Stephanie Weston. Fear not, though – there’s no forced audience participation, and there’s even a section where anonymous suggestions, written down in the interval, can be acted out. Stephanie adds: “Many people have seen improvised comedy on the TV, such as Whose Line is it Anyway or Fast and Loose – but remember, this is not recorded and edited, but totally live! If you like your comedy fast-paced and with a slightly unusual edge, this is definitely for you.” ■ Brass Works Theatre, above Kingswood Heritage Museum, Tower Lane, Warmley, Bristol, 7.30pm, £11/£10 concs, www.brassworkstheatre.com.

Rising from the Ashes

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS MAY 17 CHANNEL 4, 9PM ■ The new X-Men film, Days of Future Past, is in cinemas next week, so Channel 4 is kindly screening the first instalment, X-Men: First Class. Set in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis, it sets up the relationship between Charles Xavier (Professor X) and Erik Lensherr (Magneto) and the origin of the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants. The film stars James McAvoy as Xavier and Michael Fassbender as Lensherr, leading an ensemble cast that includes Kevin Bacon, January Jones, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult and Jason Flemyng.

RHS CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW MAY 19 BBC2, 8PM

FROM THERE TO HERE MAY 22, BBC1, 9PM

hat with his famous role as DCI Gene Hunt in Life on Mars and its sequel Ashes to Ashes, as well as other prominent parts in the likes of Cranford, Hornblower and the BBC’s 2003 adaptation of The Other Boleyn Girl, you might think Philip Glenister is in danger of becoming permanently stuck in the past. In fact, this latest role is one of his more modern, and it’s set some 18 years ago. In From There to Here, the Middlesex hardman stars as Daniel Cotton, a happily married man with two grown-up children, working for his family business and generally getting on well in life. Until, that is, one fateful day in June 1996, when an IRA bomb destroyed much of Manchester’s City Centre.

65 S E E I T ● ● ● ● ●

Just as the blast changed the city for ever, so it also changed Daniel, who is caught up in the explosion and almost killed. His near-death experience makes him reckless and restless, and before long he becomes embroiled in a double life which threatens to tear his perfect family apart. Just as it was in real life, the events play out against the backdrop of Euro ’96, when England was united with optimism about “football coming home”. Manchester, a typical Northern city in the midst of reinventing itself in the face of adversity and massive socio-economic change, was feeling it as much as anywhere, until events conspired to make that summer an unforgettable one for all the wrong reasons.

■ The colourful sprawling garden designs of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show return for another year. As always, the BBC is doing everything it can to ensure those not fortunate enough to attend the event can get the full experience from the comfort of their own homes. Monty Don and Joe Swift launch the week of programmes from the horticultural event held in the ground of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, in London.

THE FAST SHOW SPECIAL MAY 23 BBC2, 10PM ■ One of the best loved comedy sketch shows of the 1990s is now 20 years old. To celebrate it, and BBC2’s 50th year, the cast have reunited to reflect on the series that launched a dozen catchphrases, from “Scorchio!” and “Jumpers for Goalposts”, to “I was very, very drunk,” and “I’ll get my coat”. The series attracted no end of famous followers – the much missed John Peel sang its praises, while Johnny Depp guest starred in a Suits You sketch.
