Heirloom or upcycling they’ve got it covered Whether you’ve got a beloved family heirloom in need of some renovation or you’re upcycling a retro piece of furniture, South West Upholstery is the place to go. Natalie Banyard pays a visit to the family firm which has been transforming homes and businesses for 11 years.

A lot of people bring in ❝ sentimental pieces and heirlooms while others who can’t afford new furniture will buy a second-hand sofa and bring it to us to repair and revamp. They’re always thrilled by the results.”

Ryan Ball and his dad, Andy, at South West Upholstery

any of us own a muchloved piece of furniture that we cling on to despite its frayed edges and tatty upholstery. Or we’ve spent a fortune on a sofa but that bright orange we adored has become more vile than vogue. Fear not. South West Upholstery can take your tired sticks of furniture and create a stunning refurbished thing of beauty. A recognised specialist upholstery company, South West Upholstery can upcycle anything from a household footstool to a large restaurant in need of a makeover. The family firm has been transforming homes and businesses for the past 11 years. It was built up by father-and-son team John and Andy Ball, originally refurbishing buses,

coaches and restaurants, and is now run by grandson Ryan. South West Upholstery built up an excellent reputation catering for commercial projects, including refurbishing the Lounge chain of restaurants, but decided to move premises last year and open up its services to members of the public. “We always wanted to cater to the public but couldn’t do it from our warehouse in Hengrove,” explains Ryan, “so when this property on Bedminster’s North Street came up with a shop front and workshop, it was ideal. “We can display our work and talk to customers out front, then all the work is done on the premises by our team of highly skilled craftspeople out the back.” It’s not surprising that this excellent service is proving hugely popular with everyone from young hipsters looking for an old classic with a contemporary twist to older customers wanting to bring treasured pieces back to their former glory. Not only are you breathing new life into your own furniture, you are also creating something completely unique that can reflect your own personality and character. The shop has a wealth of high-quality materials to choose from in every colour, design and material. And you won’t feel like you’re being rushed into making a decision – the company’s customer-friendly staff allow clients to discuss options and choose fabrics at their leisure. “We offer a reliable and trustworthy service with friendly communication and free quotations,” Ryan tells me. “We’re very proud of the service we offer and work closely with our customers to ensure the perfect finish. We also work very closely with our suppliers to make sure we get the best quality materials and that our stock is constantly updated. “We have great feedback from our customers. Often they’ll bring in a haggard armchair or a tired set of dining chairs and they are shocked at what we’ve achieved. “Often they’re quite moved as well. A lot of people bring in sentimental pieces and heirlooms while others who can’t afford new furniture will buy a second-hand sofa and bring it to us to repair and revamp. They’re always thrilled by the results.” As well as creating bespoke pieces from people’s existing furniture, the company also source and refurbish retro and vintage pieces from designer names such as G Plan, Parker Knoll and Ercol to sell in the shop. “We have some gorgeous Fifties and Sixties pieces in at the moment which are sure to get snapped up soon,” Ryan points out. The store also offers additional services such as cushion refilling, to improve the appearance of tired and droopy cushions, and the polishing of wooden surfaces. It also sells fabrics, foams, leathers and vinyls for anyone who wants to have a go at upcycling themselves.

WEEKEND 9

Hormonal havoc and a helping hand Women tend to simply put up with the emotional rollercoaster that is the perimenopause. But, as Dr Annie Evans tells Kate Edser, help is at hand

ABOUT DR ANNIE EVANS ■ With a background in endocrinology, cardiology, sexual health and contraception, Annie has worked as a women’s health expert for Nuffield in Bristol since 2001. She lived in Bristol for 10 years, but is now based in Cornwall and travels to the private Chesterfield Hospital in Clifton for a clinic once a month. She gives private consultants at home and lectures extensively at home and abroad. Annie is a member of the European Society of Contraception, a founder member of the British Menopause Society and is actively involved in the International Menopause Society.

PERIMENOPAUSE SYMPTOMS ■ Menstrual cycle changes, heavy or very painful bleeds ■ Tiredness, insomnia, poor quality sleep and recurrent waking ■ Headaches and migraine ■ Night sweats ■ Joint aches ■ Breast tenderness ■ Palpitations ■ Bladder irritability ■ Loss of libido ■ Inability to multi-task, poor concentration and forgetfulness ■ Loss of emotional control ■ Declining feelings of self-worth

omen walk a hormonal tightrope through the course of a lifetime, with imbalances likely to cause, at the very least, an emotional wobble. In the worst cases, a woman can fall into a place where it’s almost impossible to function. Yet, despite the sometimes dramatic effects of hormonal shifts, expert Dr Annie Evans says the general perception among women is one of acceptance; that hormonal upset is just a “normal” part of female life. In short, women put up and shut up – a position that Annie, who works in Bristol specialising in women’s health, argues against. It’s a broad subject, so here we’re looking specifically at the time before “the change” when woman may start to feel “different”. It’s called the perimenopause. Annie explains: “The menopause is a moment in time, but it’s the hormonal havoc leading up to the last period that’s the perimenopause; it’s what happens as the ovaries start to flag. Women go through an era when there’s a rollercoaster of hormonal activity, some months better, some months worse, and that can last five or ten years. “A lot of women enter the perimenopause in their late 30s, certainly by their mid to late 40s, and they may not realise it. They think they just aren’t coping with life. Suddenly everything is too much emotionally or physically and everything becomes a problem and a battle and they don’t know what’s wrong and what’s normal. They are not sleeping, emotionally all over the place, tearful, aching and feeling run down. I have known women who’ve given up their jobs in their mid to late 40s because they feel so out of control.” Women – and health professionals – often don’t connect the onset of such symptoms to hormones. Women are often told that, as they are in their 40s, they are “too young for the

change” and, according to Annie, the commonest treatment in the UK for the problems described is anti-depressants. Annie says: “Women are told ‘you’re not coping, you’re feeling stressed, things are happening at home and at work, and you need something to help you through it’. “Having said that, we can use some of the modern anti-depressants in very low dose to help with the flushing and sweats. We know there is a tie in the brain between the centres that deal with thermal regulation and those that deal with emotion. “The female hormone oestrogen has an impact on serotonin and dopamine levels [which effect mood], so you can help with anti-depressants, but equally you can do it by addressing the hormonal disturbance and stabilising the oestrogen. The effects in the brain are grossly interlinked. “Of course, some women have genuine clinical depression and so would benefit, perhaps, from both oestrogen and antidepressants. “However, some women need nothing at all but a knowledge of what’s going on. Understanding makes them feel so much more in control. I’m not saying all women should replace hormones, but they need information and choice. “Women come to me having tried to join the dots, and they are making a very good job of it in the modern world; they are using Dr Google, for example. They can hear other women’s stories now. For example, menopausematters.co.uk has an amazing forum.”

DR ANNIE EVANS ON MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

nnie says: “Women at this stage of life can benefit from a review of the contraception they are using. Many women in their late 30s and 40s have a fear of using hormonal forms of contraception as they believe the hormones will be harmful, but, after a review of their personal and family history and their lifestyles, they may benefit from some of the positive effects of continuing, or restarting, gentle hormonal methods. “Other women may choose to start gentle and natural forms of hormones as replacement for what their own bodies are no longer producing, and to stabilise their own fluctuating hormonal levels. “Often, delivering these as patches or gels will be appropriate as these routes can help ‘iron out’ the underlying hormonal chaos. “All women deserve a full discussion of the realities of benefit and risk to be able to assess their options. “Often women want a very gentle, natural dose of hormone for as long as they wish to have it; ongoing use beyond the natural age of the menopause needs to be at the discretion of the well informed user and her health care provider, which can be well into later life. “The International Menopause Society is very clear about that: there is no reason to place arbitrary limitations on the duration of hormone therapies. “Ongoing use should be an individual decision of a wellinformed woman working with her clinician, based on careful consideration of her individual risks, taking into account her personal history, what her goals and aims are and what she wants from life. “Any woman experiencing problems in the perimenopausal years should be able to have a full and well-informed discussion so that they understand what is happening to them hormonally. “They should have other possible causes for their symptoms fully investigated, and have the option, if they would like, to discuss possible hormonal management strategies. “Women deserve to feel in control of the quality of their lives at this important life stage.”

My day on a plate RICK WALLIS OWNER OF UP & RUNNING BRISTOL Age: 56 Address: Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol BS9 Profession: Retail business owner – Up & Running Bristol Height: 1.76m (5ft 9in) Weight: 60kg (9st 7lb) How would you describe your diet? Reasonably healthy and balanced. There is very little variation in what I eat for breakfast or lunch, but I vary my evening meal with rice, pasta or potato dishes, all with vegetables. What do you do in the way of exercise? I run five times a week, walk to and from work each day (15 minutes) and I do a Pilates class once a week. Breakfast: A bowl of Weetabix with Alpen and Frosties. Lunch: A cheese sandwich and a raisin sandwich.

VICKY WELSH PERSONAL TRAINER Age: 46 Address: Easton-in-Gordano Profession: Personal trainer, Nordic walking instructor and founder of Bristol Nordic Walking Height: 5ft 6in Weight: 60kg (9st 7lb) How would you describe your diet? Definitely not text-book healthy, but I enjoy cooking and have my own vegetable garden so we mostly eat home-grown and home-cooked food. Do you have any specific nutritional requirements? I try to avoid dairy as, some years ago, I got labyrinthitis (an inner ear infection) which affected my sinuses and gave me headaches and constant catarrh. Stopping dairy, especially milk, cleared everything up. What do you do, if anything, by way of exercise? I Nordic walk and don’t really need to do anything else as it’s a total body workout which exercises over 90 per cent of my skeletal muscles and gives me a fit and toned body. I can also exercise my dog, Oscar, at the same time – perfect! Breakfast: I’m a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. Almost every day I have poached egg on seeded toast. The eggs are from our hens,

which roam freely around our garden, and there is nothing that can compare with their rich yolks and deep flavour.

Dinner: Bacon pasta dish with broccoli, followed later by fruit, such as pear, orange or kiwi. Snacks: Mid-morning and mid-afternoon I’ll have an apple, and then I’ll have more raisins and a biscuit before the evening run.

Lunch: I’m eating lots of soup at the moment. My current favourite is broccoli and fennel. I had it first at The Beach restaurant in Clevedon together with smoked mackerel pate on toasted baguette and it was heavenly. Dinner: With three very active and very hungry children and an Aga the most obvious choice is a casserole of some sort with heaps of rice or potatoes. Typically, we’ll have chicken, chorizo and chickpeas in a tomato sauce with rice, broccoli and kale. I’m not big on puddings myself as I have more of a savory than sweet tooth but my rhubarb is almost ready to pull and I adore rhubarb crumble. Snacks: At the moment I’m currently training to walk four marathons in four consecutive days along the Cotswolds Way to raise money for Penny Brohn Cancer Care, so snacks are important as I need to keep fuelled without feeling too full. Falafels are brilliant for this. I cook them in the morning then pop them in a container to munch along the way. I also like flapjacks and mixed dried fruit, nuts and seeds. My occasional evening treat is a packet of crisps washed down with a cider!

ANOTHER COMPETITOR BITES THE DUST

Google maps has now found its way right across the UK. With almost 17,000 public transport routes on board, you’d better top up your travelcard

here doesn’t appear to be any imminent arrival of Google buses on our roads (although the doodlers would have a great time adapting the lettering around the wheels). But the latest update of Google Maps brings together information from 1,500 service providers across the UK. From buses and boats, to trains and trams, just tap in your start and end locations and the upgraded service (also available as an iOS and Android app) will bring up the best route for your A to B, right down to the exact stop for you to alight. It is all pretty impressive. And there’s more; you can find out departure times, the number of stops and distance you’ll be walking in-between, you can also pick your preferred travel mode and choose to walk less or make fewer changes along the way. The service has been available in a couple of UK cities for quite a while but pulling together

the vast amount of data needed to cover the rest of the almost 17,000 routes now available has taken a little longer. David Tattersall, product manager for Public Transport in Google Maps, said: “You can now get public transport directions for everything from cross-country trips, to timings for the local village bus, to the St Mawes ferry in Cornwall, which will save you a 55-minute journey over land to Falmouth.” With the combination of 3D, street view, map or satellite modes and a plethora of on-screen information, even taking a virtual trip from the comfort of your armchair is an interesting adventure (although it’ll leave you woefully short of your recommended 10,000 daily steps). Of course, most of us will be using it for actual, real, journeys though. Which means all we need now is that app that makes public transport run on time...

■ This week YouTube reached a preliminary deal to buy Twitch (twitch.tv) for more than $1 billion. This purchase of a video game streaming company, one where gameplay is uploaded to the site for others to watch you play, looks like another mega deal to get subscribers onside. It’s claimed more than 45 million people use the site monthly, which, added to YouTube’s already impressive one billion users, might seem an insignificant increase, but the main thing is, it’s another competitor gone.

TWEEP SOME GAMIFICATION ■ The Merriam-Webster dictionary in the US welcomed a number of new words into its pages this week. The new words include tweep (a person who uses the Twitter online message service to send and receive tweets), gamification (the process of adding games or gamelike elements to something so as to encourage participation) and steampunk (science fiction dealing with 19th-century societies dominated by steam-powered technology).

n estimated 90,000 people flocked to Bristol city centre when Park Street was turned into a giant water slide earlier this month, and this weekend the hill that stretches from College Green to the Triangle will be in the headlines once again. Few will forget the afternoon of Sunday, May 4, when a sea of humanity congregated around the slide, tens of thousands of people taking advantage of the car-free Sunday to enjoy the watery fun and also check out the Bristol Food Connections festival at the Harbourside and Eat, Drink Bristol Fashion in Queen Square. It’s not part of Make Sunday Special, Bristol Mayor George Ferguson’s regular traffic-less days, but it will, no doubt, help that, once again, this Sunday is all about pedestrians in the city centre street. Looking for ways to encourage people to pause on Park Street rather than use it as a route to somewhere else, traders have been working since the autumn to transform the hill into an interactive urban park rather than a thoroughfare. So, from 7am on Sunday the street will be shut to traffic and once the setting up has finished, the public can enjoy the transformed area from 11am, with events due to finish at about 10pm. At the bottom of the street a stage will be set up to host music, dance and cooking demonstrations. As the day wears on and those with children drift away and the going-out crowd takes over, the many bars along Park Street will be getting into the party mood by hosting events such as cocktail demonstrations. The street itself will be split into three different zones. The first will be overlaid with turf to look like

Putting the park in Park Street a traditional park, the second will be home to street art and a circus showcase, while the third will be a place for people to relax, decked out with hay bales and straw. In keeping with the idea of everyone pitching in, artificial turf supplier Easigrass Bristol is “turfing” the street free of charge. Even if you don’t spot the thousands of people congregating around the temporary park, you won’t be able to miss it because of the giant eight-foot high letters spelling out the word “Park” which are being made by local artists to put at the entrance. One of the reasons the water slide day was so popular was the hot weather. Organisers of this latest quirky event will be keeping their fingers crossed that the rain stays away on Sunday.

Lunch on a budget Embrace your inner child

ristol is well served with child-friendly play cafés, including the Hungry Caterpillar in Bedminster and the Playful Cafe in Bishopston, but why let the toddlers have all the fun? Most of us feel the occasional urge to embrace our inner child and what better way to do that than by sitting on a swing and playing a game of Stack The Fish? That’s one option at Playground Coffee House, a new cafe run by Fabian Dryden in what for years was a far less fun insurance office. Fabian got the idea for this play cafe for grown-ups from his girlfriend Lilly, who originates from Thessaloniki, the student capital of Greece. Coffee shops there are patronised much in the same way that pubs are here and the best ones offer a range of games for customers. When Lilly came to England to study she missed being able to go somewhere that emulated this coffee/social combination and Fabian had long wanted to run his own cafe. The result is Playground, which opened in April. Set over three floors, this relaxed cafe has the look and feel of a pre-school classroom with a chessboard-style floor made up of different shades of plywood, paper Chinese lanterns and primary colour Formica-topped tables with metal-framed chairs.

19 EAT IT ● ● ● ● ●

There are low leather Chesterfield sofas and piles of board games – everything from Battle of the Sexes and Pass The Bomb to Dingbats and the Bristol edition of Monopoly. The plan is to start hosting games nights at the cafe, including Backgammon tournaments, as well as games parties. Most striking of all are the swing-style seats attached to scaffolding poles in the front and rear windows. “These are epic,” grinned my swinging six-year-old, who proceeded to ask the bearded chap making the coffee if they were strong enough to take the weight of her father. Thankfully they were. Of course, it’s not just games on offer here. This is a cafe that takes its coffee seriously and there were two espressos on offer, both roasted by Clifton Coffee. I went for the well-balanced Bolivian single estate and the flat white was expertly made with a tight, velvety foam revealing the plummy, fruity flavour of the espresso. There is also a range of loose-leaf Canton teas and soft drinks. The food selection here is limited to a few filled ciabattas, salads and cakes (made by new Bristol company Bosh). My ham and mature Cheddar with rocket and chilli jam ciabatta was well made and generously filled, the sweetness of the chilli working well with the strong cheese. With the coffee, it cost just £5 as part of the lunch deal, which seemed good value considering the quality of ingredients being used.

THE BURGER JOINT 240 North Street, Southville, BS3 1JD. Tel: 0117 329 2790

VERDICT Reassuringly more expensive than the average high street burger joint, these high-quality posh patties are worth the extra investment.

Food ★★★✩✩ Service ★★★✩✩ Ambience ★★★✩✩ 20 EAT IT ● ● ● ● ●

n the week leading up to the official opening of The Burger Joint in Southville, owner Dan Bekhradnia gave away 400 free burgers in an attempt to test out the restaurant’s systems and drum up a bit of publicity at the same time. Such is the popularity of The Burger Joint, which has opened in a former newsagents on North Street, he received a staggering 15,000 applications. That basically means people had a better chance of getting a ticket for the Park Street water slide than they did chomping a free burger. This is the second site for this contemporary burger restaurant – the first south of the river – and is the follow-up to Bekhradnia’s hugely successful Whiteladies Road operation. Smaller but lighter than the belowpavement-level Clifton site, Bekhradnia has made good use of the space here. During the building work, he unearthed some nice exposed brickwork and an internal window with retro chicken-wire glass, which adds character to the room with its on-trend look of dark red walls, black leather banquettes, industrial enamel factory lamps and butchers tiles. On the bar, there’s a table-mounted pencil sharpener for sharpening the pencils provided with the tick-box ordering forms on the tables. It’s a simple and efficient system that allows you

from Friday, May 30, 2014

to customise your burgers by choosing which toppings and sauces you want. On the back of the menu, there are a few helpful suggestions – you might be tempted by the wild boar burger with chorizo, melted Cheddar, apple sauce and mayo, or it could be the veggie burger with melted Cheddar, sautéed mushrooms and 1000 island dressing. I went for the suggested combination of Welsh lamb and mint burger with roasted peppers, melted Swiss cheese and tzatziki. Most burgers cost £7.95, which includes one free side dish such as chips or fries, and you also get two free sauces. Additional toppings are 80p each (or three for £1.95). It might sound a bit complicated, but it’s relatively straightforward, although my tzatziki failed to turn up with my burger and I had to ask for it, which was a tad annoying. The burger itself was hard to fault – pink and juicy with a good lamb flavour and served in a toasted, fluffy ciabatta bun with slices of tomato, red onion and lettuce. The only letdown was a portion of floppy French fries, which could have benefited from being drained properly as they were on the greasy side. I finished with a warm chocolate brownie (£3.95) boasting a crisp, cracked top and rich, molten centre. It was served with a scoop of good vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of dark chocolate sauce.

Dinner: New opening Exciting and exemplary

T BIRCH 47 Raleigh Road, Southville, Bristol, BS3 1QS. Tel 0117 902 8326.

THE VERDICT Sam Leach’s confident cooking of top quality ingredients and Beccy Massey’s friendly, enthusiastically knowledgeable service is a winning combination and Birch is quite simply the most exciting new restaurant to open in Bristol for some time.

Food ★★★★★ Service ★★★★★ Ambience ★★★★✩ 22 EAT IT ● ● ● ● ●

his is the first venture for Sam Leach and Beccy Massey, although they are by no means wet behind the ears in terms of working in restaurants. The couple started by running occasional pop-up supper clubs around Bristol, although Leach initially trained as a baker at Mark’s Bread in Ashton. Always with the plan to open their own place in Bristol, they moved to London two years ago to gain valuable experience at a number of respected restaurants, including the hugely influential St John, before returning when the right site came up. Located on the corner of Raleigh Road and Birch Road, just a short stroll from the Tobacco Factory, this modest Victorian corner shop in the heart of Southville was formerly an Indian restaurant and, before that, an off-licence – the old Tetley’s Bitter sign still hangs outside. For the past six months, they have worked tirelessly to turn a dark and dingy curry house into the light and airy neighbourhood restaurant it is today. Teal blue window frames, mismatched chairs and vintage lamps soften the predominantly white room, which might fit 30 diners at a push. The daily changing menu is short and simple, the emphasis on seasonal local produce, including ingredients from their own smallholding. Everything is made in the tiny kitchen, down to the excellent sourdough

bread and hand-churned butter the colour of sunflowers. After ‘snacks’ of buttery, melt-in-the-mouth anchovy biscuits (£2.50) and bite-size smoked mackerel and horseradish toast (£1.50), I started with ox brawn, pickled red cabbage, mustard and toast (£5.50). The neat slab of brawn was a firm mosaic of ox cheek and tongue, its rich meatiness countered by piquant, crunchy red cabbage, a blob of Dijon and crisp, thin rounds of toasted sourdough. A main course of lemon sole (£15.50) – a thick tranche of pearly white fish on the bone – was beautifully cooked and topped with a layer of punchy green sauce heady with garlic, mint, parsley, capers and anchovies. It was accompanied by buttery braised little gem lettuce, mint-flecked and creamy Cornish new potatoes with a tangle of pea shoots. To finish, an exemplary treacle tart (£5) boasted the crispest, crumbliest pastry and a soft, lemony filling. I paid an extra £3 for a scoop of sublime marmalade and whisky ice cream that was perfectly poised, with a citrussy Seville orange-like tang to it. From a short, carefully considered, European-only wine list featuring a number of small growers visited by the restaurant’s owners last summer, the Jane Ventura Blanc Seleccio 2012 from Penedes, Spain, was a fresh, clean white with tropical fruit flavours – an excellent house wine for the money.

PUB OF THE WEEK THE COTTAGE INN , BALTIC WHARF

s soon as the sun makes an appearance in Bristol, it is almost a given that crowds will flock to the Cottage Inn at Baltic Wharf. Much in the same way that it’s not summer until you have dangled your legs over the quayside in front of the Arnolfini with a cold pint, a balmy evening watching the sun go down outside the Cottage is on the summer bucket list for most Bristolians. On a warm late May evening, the Cottage was packed inside and out, with dozens of people sitting on the water’s edge, watching the golden sun illuminate the pastel-coloured houses of Clifton Wood opposite. Built in 1868, and originally used to store timber for Baltic Wharf businesses and boat builders, the Cottage attracts people from all over the city but there is also a real sense of community because of its close proximity to the campsite next door. It has been widely reported that Bristol City Council is planning to close Baltic Wharf Campsite at the end of the year and a constant stream of pub customers were signing the petition on the bar to keep it open. With its wood panels, ship lanterns, boat barometers and black and white harbour pho-

tographs, the pub has a genuine nautical feel, something enhanced by the sight of The Matthew sailing past on cue just as I arrived. Owned by Butcombe Brewery, the pub enjoys a good reputation for its ales and there were three Butcombe brews on offer including Bitter and Rare Breed. My pint of Haku, made with New Zealand hops, was crystal clear and in great condition. Cider drinkers can enjoy the Butcombe-produced Ashton Press. Food is served all day here and the menu is extensive, with sandwiches, salads, ploughman’s, baked potatoes and a full range of ‘homemade specials’. These include vegetable lasagne, fish and chips, gammon steaks, burgers and beef, Butcombe ale and mushroom pie. The chicken curry special of the day (£9) on the next table looked and smelled particularly inviting. There is also a choice of local Marshfield ice creams – three scoops for £4.10 and kids’ mini-tubs for £2.60. Good beer and cider, ice creams for the kids and stunning sunsets – The Cottage is one city pub that has summer sewn up.

WINE OF THE WEEK CARUSO E MININI PERRICONE 2012 ■ My favourite from an outstanding range of Italian reds at Marks & Spencer is Caruso e Minini Perricone 2012 at £7.99. Made in Sicily from the indigenous perricone grape, it’s a bumper plummy-spicy red of distinctive style with more than a hint of sun-baked island herbyscrubby savour and 14 per cent alcohol. Strongly recommended with meaty pasta dishes.

Fiery wings will be a family favourite

our years ago, Weston-super-Mare father of two Barry Lewis couldn’t boil an egg. Now he’s a rising star of the food world and one of the country’s hottest new cooks. In 2010, Barry, a quantity surveyor by trade, taught himself to cook, step-by-step, filming the process and posting the videos on his YouTube blog, My Virgin Kitchen. The blog became an overnight hit, inspiring thousands of new cooks – many of them young dads like himself – to pick up their ladles and start cooking for the family. Within a few months, Barry had attracted national media attention and gained a seal of approval from his culinary idol, Jamie Oliver. These days, he’s a regular on Jamie’s Food Tube Channel. “Barry’s a regular guy, he’s not a chef and he’s not formally a cook,” says Oliver. “He was a virgin in the kitchen and I love his enthusiasm for food, having a laugh and cooking for the family. At the end of the day, that’s what food is all about.” Barry’s food is all about delicious ingredients, healthy meals and having fun. The recipes in his first cookbook, Dinner’s On, are aimed at home cooks young and old, from seasoned pros to those who are terrified of setting foot in the kitchen. Whether you’re looking for quick weekday family favourites like beef and ricotta pasta shells, comfort classics like bangers and mustard mash casserole, or melt-in-your-mouth treats like vanilla and honeycomb semifreddo, the book offers all home cooks the inspiration and confidence to cook.

You can push the chilli quantities for extreme hotness, if you like! Rinse the chicken wings and pat dry with kitchen paper, then place them in something that will fit in your fridge – with limited space in our fridge a freezer bag works best. Pour the marinade around the wings, massage briefly, then close the bag or cover and leave to marinate for at least one hour. Preheat the oven to 220C and brush a lined baking tray with olive oil. Put the chicken on the tray (keeping any leftover marinade), then if you have a lemon half lying

about rub that on the chicken. Bake in the oven for about 25–30 minutes. Pour out any oil and top up with the leftover marinade, leaving about 1.5 tablespoons for later. Decrease the oven temperature to 200C and cook for another 20 minutes, flipping the chicken pieces over a few times, until there’s a lovely colour on the outside and they are cooked through. Keep your eye on them. Remove from the oven and leave to rest. Meanwhile, mix the leftover marinade, melted butter, chopped coriander and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice together. Using a pastry brush, brush a light coating of the mixture over the chicken, then sprinkle with more coriander, if you like.

he gentle ring of a bell echoes around the upper deck, signalling that it is time for afternoon tea, and where better to take afternoon tea then sitting on the deck of a ship cruising down the Nile. There seems something quite British about taking tea on the Nile, it’s all very well mannered and calm, sitting in the shade watching the locals wave at you as you slowly make your way along this vast river. My first taste of Egypt came courtesy of a Classic Egypt trip on board a Royal Viking Line Cruise vessel. This was a 64-berth ship with spacious cabins, each with double sliding doors opening on to the river. Dining each day was a delight. Every day new dishes were on offer, on a self-serve buffet. We left the boat at 8am sharp daily. Early starts are the best way to avoid the searing heat of the afternoon which, during my trip, saw temperatures soaring into the mid-30s. Our first excursion on my five-day cruise was

a visit to Luxor – a curtain-raiser to the spectacular temples which would follow later. Luxor itself is going through a number of changes. Archaeologists are busy unearthing the Avenue of Sphinxes – a mile-long avenue lined with sphinxes stretching from Karnak Temple to the Temple of Luxor itself. Day two found us heading for the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens and the Temple of Hatshepsut. Of course, everyone who arrives in the Valley of the Kings wants to see the Tomb of Tutankhamun, discovered by chance by Howard Carter in 1922. Yes, it is spectacular, given that the Egyptian boy king’s remains still lie in the tomb. Yet to my mind some of the other 63 tombs were far more impressive. As you enter each chamber you can only wonder how on earth they managed to construct them some 3,500 years ago. Every wall is lined with hundreds of hieroglyphs each telling a story of the once great Pharaohs who ruled this ancient land. It is worth noting that for the duration of our trip we were accompanied by Ahmed Mahmoud, a wonderful Egyptologist who translated the hieroglyphs for us, as well as conveying each temple’s purpose in a way that was delightful and informative. The Temple of Edfu was our next stop. Once again I was blown away by the sheer size of the temple, one of the best preserved in Egypt. It is dedicated to the falcon god Horus, whose statue perches proudly in front of the temple. During the afternoon we took a gentle sail further down the Nile and pulled in to Kom Ombo. Here, as the evening lights fade, the floodlights switched on to light up the temple there. Kom Ombo is also home to the Crocodile Museum, which houses a few of the 100 crocodile mummies found nearby. All too soon it was our final day and we used it to view the Temple of Philae on Philae Island, a short boat trip and we disembarked on the island, a truly beautiful setting. As we headed back to dry land we had the chance to buy some goods from two local traders, cutting out one of the only downsides of the trip. These are the market traders who, to be fair, are only trying to earn a living but in doing so give you the hard sell and are a constant presence as you walk through the local souks. The advice given to us from the ever helpful Ahmed was: “Sunglasses on, no eye contact and avoid making conversation with them.” This may sound rude to us European folk, but it’s the norm in Egypt, and will save you a lot of hassle. We also took a trip to the impressive Aswan High Dam, where the Nile feeds into the vast manmade Lake Nasser, home I’m reliably informed to hundreds of crocs. Egypt has had some bad press over the last few years. Protests, marches and demonstrations are common, most taking place in Cairo some 400 miles away. I felt entirely safe during my stay. But as a consequence, the country is suffering from a lack of tourism, a resource which is key to a country like Egypt. One thing Egypt does not lack is charm and I for one would have no hesitation in jumping back on that cruise ship for another five days.

Rest and relaxation in a modern manor TRAVEL Kate Edser follows the River Avon north to Stratford, to relax at the four-star Alveston Manor Hotel

ive minutes’ walk outside Statford’s perpetually thronged town centre is the McDonald Alveston Manor Hotel, where I’m quickly persuaded to relax, cocooned in a blanket of peace and quiet. After a slick check-in, I’m soon ensconced in my room, curled up with a book in a squishy wing-back chair, while I wait for Sister to arrive. After a fraught morning with her children, she’s much more in need of some R&R than I and agrees to my suggestion that we don provided robes and slippers and collapse by the pool for the afternoon. It’s hot and humid by the water’s edge, and not exactly quiet, but it’s wholly preferable to venturing out in the pouring rain we can see throwing itself down the wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. There’s a sauna and steam room here too, but no hot tub, so we head to an alcove, bag a couple of loungers and open our books. Such a feeling of utter laziness ensues that we fail in our intention to swim – despite the fact half the 18m pool is reserved for lane swimming, which means we could avoid several mucking-about children. Later we head to the Manor Bar – a sumptuous fusion of wood panelling, a stone fireplace and leaded mullion windows, with sofas and armchairs in earthy shades arranged around dark wood tables. On the walls are prints of Shakespeare (who else) among others. We order a second bottle of Prosecco and enjoy a glass before the cheery barman carries it through to the AA Rosette award-winning fine dining restaurant. Serving “classic British” food, it’s warm, comfortable and traditional, with deep carpets, oak beams, soft leather chairs, crisp white linen, candles and low lighting. This is a restaurant in which to linger – unless you are booked in early evening for a pre-theatre meal! That’s not to say the service is slow, just beautifully unhurried, even though, on a Sunday night, the staff are hardly busy. Each dish is a picture, with as much attention given to colour and arrangement as to cooking technique and flavour – and it’s all delicious. The perfectly cooked scallops on chorizo and a deeply luxurious crème brûlée with lavender are particularly worthy of mention. A three-course meal for two comes to £98. Our room for the night is in a modern(ish) addition to the original manor that sprawls to the rear. On the plus side, the twin beds are sinkable-into, there are all the expected facilities (TV, air con, hot drinks, iron, hair dryer, trouser press, two armchairs and free wi fi) and everything is absolutely spotless. On the downside, we’re on the ground floor and the huge window won’t close, the bathroom is rather dated and the room as a whole is on the small side for a four-star hotel. Still, if you’re here only for a short break chances are you’ll be out and about, or, like us, in the spa, so what does it matter? We pass a peaceful night and haul ourselves up in

Treatments in the spa followed – Sister was blissfully relaxed after her body massage, my lime and ginger Elemis all-over scrub, followed by a neck, back and shoulder massage was also wonderful. I’ve been lucky enough to sample numerous spas and beauty treatments, and this one was up there with the best, both in terms of quality and value for money. I’d highly recommend it. Especially after a fraught week at work, or a day on your feet shopping or sightseeing in Stratford. It’s a delightful town, with ancient, wood-framed buildings, lots of interesting shops and cafes and, of course, this is the home of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Other attractions include the birthplace of The Bard himself and that of his wife, Anne Hathaway. For more information about what to do in the area, see www.visitstratforduponavon.co.uk.

‘Living it large, shaking it and giving it plenty’

Jamaican-born soul singer Ruby Turner recalls her life in the limelight as she heads ‘home’ to Bristol on her solo tour

oul singer Ruby Turner has enjoyed a career spanning more than 30 years but it was acting that ignited the initial spark for the Jamaicanborn performer, who plays Bristol’s St George’s with her band this Sunday. “I came to England when I was nine and I went to an all-girls school in Birmingham. I remember one teacher, Mrs Hinchcliffe, who spotted my interest in performing and I started putting on my own productions for charity, with me as the director. I was bursting with ideas even then. “I remember playing the lion in one production and wearing a mane made from hundreds of pairs of tights clipped on. It was a seriously itchy costume and not very comfortable but I had the best roar so I got away with it. “Even as a child in Jamaica, I was living it large, shaking it and giving it plenty but I’m so glad that my parents allowed me to carry on and I think it’s so important that children express themselves. It was never beaten out of me and nobody told me to stop showing off or to be quiet and I’m very grateful for that.” Turner is no stranger to Bristol, having performed many times in the city as guest vocalist with Jools Holland’s Rhythm and Blues Orchestra, but also on stage at the Old Vic. “Bristol feels like home to me because I worked a lot at the Old Vic and I did a run of A Streetcar Named Desire there. “Actually, I came very close to moving to Bristol because I was so excited by the city, the arts scene and I like the vibe of the people. I like Bristol because it always feels like you’re permanently at the Glastonbury Festival. I’ve had some of my best times in Bristol over the years so it’s always nice to come back.” Turner got her big break as a singer in the mid-1980s when she was asked to join Boy George’s Culture Club as a backing vocalist at their peak of the stardom and a solo record deal followed soon after. She enjoyed a string of Top 40 singles including If You’re Ready (Come Go With Me), I’d Rather Go Blind and Stay with Me Baby, and has released 15 albums to date including The Motown Songbook, Live at Ronnie Scott’s and Live In Bristol, which was recorded at the Old Vic in 2001. She is currently working on a new album, All That I Am, which is scheduled for release later this summer. She’ll be performing tracks from

it in Bristol this weekend, along with material from her back catalogue. “All That I Am is an apt title because of all the different styles I cover,” says Turner, who grew up with gospel. “I’ve had a very versatile career in the theatre, but also in my music. “As a child, I grew up with gospel in churches and that music taught me what my faith meant, the power of love and believing that somebody was there for you. I’m still very much that way. “I have no restrictions about where I sing gospel songs, it could be a church, a club, a festival – I’m a firm believer in the phrase ‘go tell it on the mountain’.” Although Turner has worked with the likes of Mick Jagger, Bryan Ferry, Steve Winwood and UB40, it is her work with Jools Holland which has brought her to the attention of a new audience in recent years. She says: “I first started working with Jools in 1993 and it has become an incredibly important part of my life and I’ve been very fortunate. “We just love music and we are kindred spirits when it comes to the gospel music, the soul music and we have a great appreciation of what we do. He’s a great mentor. “Touring with Jools and his orchestra has brought a new audience for me because instead of playing to a few hundred people, I’m performing in front of a few thousand at each gig so I’m reaching new people all the time.” Accompanied by a full band at St George’s on Sunday, Turner promises a set packed with her favourite songs, moving from Tamla to gospel to deep soul ballads. A singer with a powerful stage presence to match her incredible voice, Turner is often described as a soul ‘diva’, although she’s not entirely comfortable by the term. “I don’t know what a diva is,” she laughs. “People invent these titles but when I think about divas, I’m thinking of great opera singers who put so much into their performances they have to lie down afterwards. “These days, people seem to use the term ‘diva’ to describe people’s behaviour and it’s almost become a derogatory term. Of course, you can’t stop people from using the term ‘diva’ but I know who I am so I don’t worry about it. “Even though there are moments when you’re on the road and tired, it’s not at all glamorous, but it’s a real privilege to entertain and bring joy to people.”

SMOKE FAIRIES THEKLA ■ School friends Katherine Blamire and Jessica Davies always hoped they’d escape their hometown of Chichester and dive headlong into the landscape and myth of America, the promised land of their dreams. Little did they know that by 2010, they’d have lived in New Orleans and Vancouver, recorded with Jack White of White Stripes and toured the world. Last month, Smoke Fairies released their eponymously titled debut album, a record that fulfils the promise of their earlier singles. It’s a shivery blend of alternative folk-rock and a more humid, bluesy brand of Americana with beautifully interlocking harmonies and guitar parts behind the melodies. Described by the NME as ‘unsettling and atmospheric’, this spook-folk duo are now on the road with their own headlining tour, having recently supported the likes of Bryan Ferry, Richard Hawley and Laura Marling. ■ Tuesday, June 3.

TANTZ NO 1 HARBOURSIDE ■ It was a fateful night when six young musical hotshots discovered the sound of klezmer in a Leeds backstreet and decided to go on an epic club crawl. By the next morning the passionate and soul-stirring traditional Yiddish dance music had somehow got all mixed up with reggae and electroswing and Tantz was born. Tantz deliver a failsafe fusion of virtuoso instrumentalism, smart-Alec arrangements and all manner of pulse-grabbing grooves that turn on a sixpence and keep you on your toes.

That musical background can be heard in his sound today, which despite polish carries the London swing and swagger that has fuelled the latest house explosion. As well as a fast-rising

Boheme bagged an Olivier Award and Robin Norton-Hale is again directing for a Traviata she’s updated to prohibition America with its speakeasies, Gatsby-style parties, and a politician worried about how scandal might affect his electability. The cast is slimmed down to five protagonists; the orchestra to a piano, clarinet, and cello. ■ Friday, May 30 and Saturday, May 31. See listings for details.

40 WEEKEND

from Friday, May 30, 2014

Angelina is a magnificent Maleficent

isney’s empowerment of female protagonists, which snowballed in the delightful Frozen, continues apace in Robert Stromberg’s fantastical live-action fairytale. Inspired by the studio’s 1959 animation Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent is a visually stunning fantasy, which re-imagines the Brothers Grimm through the mascara-ed eyes of the eponymous villainess, who curses a fair princess to 100 years of slumber. Screenwriter Linda Woolverton casts a heady spell by embellishing the familiar yarn with neat flourishes. “Let us tell an old story anew and see how well you know it...” teasingly purrs the narrator in the film’s opening frames. Lines between good and evil become blurred in Angelina Jolie’s delicious portrayal of the vengeful fairy queen, whose belief in the power of “true love’s kiss” is corrupted by the betrayal of the man she loves. Sporting a hefty pair of horns, Jolie slinks through every frame, rolling menacing lines of dialogue around her mouth. Naughty has seldom looked and sounded so nice. Her nemesis is King Henry (Kenneth Cranham), a greedy monarch, who yearns to expand his kingdom by conquering the forest realm where Maleficent holds sway. In the ensuing battle, the king is badly wounded and pledges his crown to any man who can defeat the “winged elf”. Lowly underling Stefan (Sharlto Copley), who befriended Maleficent in childhood,

tricks the fairy and steals her wings, thereby securing the throne. Following his coronation, King Stefan is poisoned by power and greed. In the forest, Maleficent bides her time with her shape-shifter henchman Diaval (Sam Riley). When the queen gives birth to a daughter, Maleficent journeys to the castle to curse the infant Aurora: on her 16th birthday, the princess will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and fall into eternal slumber. Only true love’s kiss can break the enchantment. King Stefan entrusts the babe to bickering fairies Knotgrass (Imelda Staunton), Flittle (Lesley Manville) and Thistletwit (Juno Temple), who raise Aurora in a secluded woodland cottage. The princess blossoms into a caring young woman (now played by Elle Fanning) and Maleficent wonders if this innocent could unite the feuding kingdoms and earn her happy ever after in the arms of dashing prince Phillip (Brenton Thwaites). Maleficent is anchored by Jolie’s tour-de-force theatrics. She casts a stylish shadow over every frame and her twisted maternal bond with infant Aurora mellows into something genuinely moving and heartfelt. Fanning is sweetness personified while Staunton, Manville and Temple provide the broad comic relief. Digital effects are impressively harnessed by director Stromberg to realise the forest and its magical denizens and allow the title character to take flight over her domain. Like the film, she soars.

MALEFICENT (PG, 97 mins) Starring Angelina Jolie, Elle Fanning, Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton and Juno Temple.

VERDICT Stunningly slinky performance from a magnificently wicked Angelina Jolie underpins impressive effects in this reworking of a classic fairytale.

Score ★★★★✩

Adrenaline-pumping action on repeat

EDGE OF TOMORROW (12A, 113 mins) Starring Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Brendan Gleeson and Bill Paxton.

VERDICT The transformation of Cruise’s image-obsessed weasel into a battle-ready soldier is one of the many pleasures of Doug Liman’s entertaining, futuristic opus.

Score ★★★★✩

44 S E E I T ● ● ● ● ●

n 2005, extra-terrestrials tangled with Tom Cruise in War Of The Worlds and came off second best. The otherworldly invaders haven’t learnt their lesson because they are back as a hive-like race called the Mimics in Edge Of Tomorrow and, once again, the fate of mankind rests in the sweaty palms of a certain Hollywood superstar. Only this time, Cruise is a military PR man, who has never seen a day of combat and will resort to anything, even blackmail, to avoid conflict. Based on the novel All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, Edge Of Tomorrow shrouds its smart central conceit with adrenalinepumping action sequences including a pivotal battle on blood-soaked beaches reminiscent of the Normandy landings. The carnage transplants to a European capital for an equally explosive finale with echoes of the concluding chapter of The Matrix as human survivors stage a suicidal last stand with depleted weaponry against a whirling armada of alien killing machines. “We are not equipped for what’s out there!” bleats Cruise. And the Oscar for understatement goes to... Cruise plays Major William Cage, who arrives at the headquarters of the United Defense Force (UDF) in London close to Trafalgar Square. The Mimics have overrun Europe and the UDF is preparing to storm the continent from

multiple angles. General Brigham (Brendan Gleeson) orders Cage to the front line to capture this glorious moment on film for generations to come. Cage refuses so he is press-ganged into active duty under Master Sergeant Farell (Bill Paxton). A subsequent skirmish on the beaches of France is a bloodbath and Cage perishes in the throes of annihilating an alien. Exposure to the creature’s luminous blue blood miraculously allows Cage to reset time and relive the ill-fated day, dying again and again as he attempts to identify a weakness in the Mimics’ defences. In the process, Cage forges an alliance with Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt), who is known affectionately as Full Metal Bitch to the troops. Scripted by Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects) and siblings Jez and John-Henry Butterworth, Edge Of Tomorrow establishes its Groundhog Day-style premise and cleverly engineers ways to keep us enthralled as Cage repeats fatal mistakes. Cruise initially plays against type and slowly teases out his character’s likeable qualities amidst a miasma of eye-popping digital effects. Blunt embraces Rita’s ballsiness with gusto and she gleefully takes a gun to her leading man’s noggin on countless occasions to ensure his demise resets the clock on mankind’s hard-fought retaliation.

WEEKEND 45

PICK OF THE WEEK: Bruce Forsyth... Entertains! at The Bristol Hippodrome

46 S E E I T ● ● ● ● ●

from Friday, May 30, 2014

Nice to see you Mr Saturday night Bruce Forsyth might be stepping down from Strictly but, as he tells Natalie Banyard, his date at The Bristol Hippodrome shows he’s not walking off into the sunset

ruce Forsyth, the nation’s most famous and beloved showman, is set to enthrall Bristol audiences with a very special and rare appearance. The veteran entertainer is performing just three dates of his Bruce Forsyth... Entertains! show across the UK, including The Bristol Hippodrome on Sunday. The tour follows Forsyth’s announcement that he is stepping down from presenting Strictly Come Dancing after 10 years on the BBC1 programme. He is keen to point out that he is “not retiring” and “this isn’t Brucie walking into the sunset”. Instead, he says he’s thrilled to be back doing what he does best – playing to a live audience. “If you ask performers, they’ll all tell you that performing live is the ultimate,” says the 86-year-old. “You get to know the audience within the first five to 10 minutes. Are they going to make your evening easy, or will you have to work hard to keep them “up” for two hours? “I love to involve the audience. They’re very much part of it. “One of the highlights comes at the end of the show when I judge the audience and give them marks out of 10, like I used to do on The Generation Game.” The shows are billed as “a treat for the whole family” and will see Bruce entertain the audience with an evening of comedy, piano, dance and song. The octogenarian will be joined by guest musicians for the performances which are overseen by musical directors Don Hunt and Dave Arch. “It’s a very varied night,” says the showbiz legend. “I’m not a comedian, I’m an entertainer, but the whole show revolves around laughs. “In among the laughs, I sing, dance, and

involve the audience. It doesn’t stay one thing for very long. I also do impressions of other performers: Tom Jones, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. In addition, I play the piano.” It’s a path well-trodden by the all-round entertainer. Recognised in the Guinness Book of World Records as having the longest television career for a male entertainer, Bruce entered showbusiness at the age of 14, with a song, dance and accordion act called Boy Bruce, the Mighty Atom. For 16 years he travelled the UK working seven days a week, doing clubs, summer seasons, pantomimes and circuses. Finally, in 1958, an appearance with the comedian Dickie Henderson led to his big break – the job of compere of Val Parnell’s weekly TV variety show, Sunday Night at the London Palladium. “I was 14 when I started and 30 when I got my big break at The London Palladium. It took me 16 years to become an overnight star!” Since then, Bruce has barely been off our screens. In 1971, his natural rapport with the public made The Generation Game an instant hit and a plethora of prime-time programmes followed. Bruce slipped off the radar somewhat in the 1990s until he was invited to guest host Have I Got News For You in 2003. “At that time I was still stuck in a time capsule, but afterwards people thought, ‘yes he can still get laughs’. It also helped me to get the job presenting Strictly Come Dancing.” The showman played a big part in making Strictly a Saturday night phenomenon, but 10 years and 11 series later he’s stepped down and is looking forward to new challenges, including Bruce Forsyth... Entertains! “This is what I love to do, and there’s a lot more to come,” smiles the likeable star. “You haven’t seen the last of me yet!”

t is 1896 and Elizabeth Welsh is preparing for battle at Girton College, Cambridge; the first college in Britain to admit women. Here, the Girton girls risk their reputations for their right to achieve equal academic success as their male peers. When the men graduate they leave with a degree. The women leave with nothing but the stigma of being a “blue stocking” – an unnatural, educated woman. Bristol Old Vic Theatre School’s students present Jessica Swale’s stirring play. Originally produced at London’s Globe Theatre, Blue Stockings is a shocking new play which will send you out of the theatre feeling exhilarated, proud, appalled and educated.

fter thrilling audiences for a quarter of a century and inspiring a generation of multi-million selling juke-box musicals, including Mamma Mia and We Will Rock You, Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story returns to The Bristol Hippodrome. The musical tells the enduring tale of Buddy Holly’s meteoric rise to fame and his final legendary performance at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, before his tragic and untimely death at the age of 22. In 18 short months, the Texas-born boy revolutionised the face of music, influencing everyone from The Beatles to Bruce Springsteen. Buddy’s multi-talented cast present two toe-tapping hours of music featuring all of his greatest hits, including That’ll Be The Day, Peggy Sue, Oh Boy and Rave On. Arguably the most successful rock-n-roll show of all-time, Buddy joins a small – but lauded – number of iconic musicals to reach a staggering 25 years on stage. Buddy’s widow, Maria Elena Holly, says: “When we opened the show we never imagined Buddy’s music and story would still be rocking stages and entertaining audiences around the world week-in week-out 25 years later. “I believe this is testament to a great show and to the enduring appeal of Buddy Holly and what he represents; a youthful energy, huge talent and creativity.”

A glimpse inside a hotbed of creative energy PICK OF THE WEEK BV Open Studios 2014, Bedminster, Bristol

t may be less well known than counterparts like Spike Island and Jamaica Street, but Bedminster’s BV Studios is in fact Bristol’s biggest artists’ studios com-

plex. A 30,000 square-foot warehouse in Bedminster, the building was originally built to house Wiltshire Printing Works, and magazine titles such as Viz, 2000AD and The Big Issue were first printed here. It had lain empty for some years, however, when in 2007 it was acquired by Robert Anderson, who had previously allowed artists use of the nearby Robinson building. The largest independent provider of low-cost studios and workshops in the city, BV Studios now has more than 140 artists and creative businesses within its walls. And this hotbed of creativity throws open its doors to the public this weekend for BV’s fourth Open Studios Event. Visitors are invited to wander around the vast warren of studios and meet the many creative souls working away within. Visitors can expect to see work across all forms of fine art, illustration and design, including drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography, installation, film and video, sound art and performance. “The Open Studios event is a fantastic opportunity to see the exciting artwork made by recent graduates and artists with established and growing reputations, together under one roof,” explains Studios founder Penny Jones. Residents opening up their studios for the weekend include Dave Morgan-Davies, whose

52 S E E I T ● ● ● ● ●

beautiful “quiet photography” expresses a connection to the world around us, losing itself in its vastness yet seeing the detail. Elsewhere, botanical illustrator Gillian Martin will be working on a new piece during the weekend, allowing visitors an insight into her fine, detailed technique. “The Open Studios is a great opportunity for artists to showcase their work to the public, but also for studio holders to socialise amongst themselves and see what other people achieve in their spaces,” Gillian reflects. Ruth Piper, who paints elegant, geometric abstracts (Component Parts – Almost Floating, pictured), has had a studio at BV since it first opened back in 2010. “It’s the best fit-for-purpose space I have ever had,” Ruth reveals. “The creative community here is large and varied. Most people tend to stay, but there are always new faces too. “There’s a strong core of committed hard-working artists with successful careers. The atmosphere is upbeat and inspiring – and I love the location opposite the City Farm, with the constant sound of chickens and ducks.”

from Friday, May 30, 2014

Printmaker Maria Bowers joined the studios just before last year’s Open Studios. “What makes BV so special is the diversity of its artists and residents, from computer wizards to sculptors, painters, typographers, furniture makers and printmakers,” she says. “The great thing about the Open Studios is that there is no hint of arty aloofness about any of the residents: everyone, right up to the internationally successful artists, is very friendly and keen as mustard to talk about their work.” “Creative people huddle here, nattering away and making magic,” adds illustrator Laurie Stansfield. “Working from home doesn’t compare to the rich atmosphere of my shared studio at BV. We all work on different aspects of art, but share advice and experiences and have a good giggle. “The Open Studios is a rare opportunity to get a sense of that creative energy.” ■ Friday, May 30 (6-9pm), Saturday, May 31 & Sunday, June 1 (11am-6pm). See listings for details.

THIS IS BRISTOL IT’S ALL 2 MUCH

heltenham Road’s lively modern art gallery It’s All 2 Much gives us a first look at this remarkable piece of artwork by Bristol illustrator Fuller. For more than 500 hours over a period of three years, Bristol-based artist Fuller has transformed a white 90cm by 90cm canvas into his own very personal interpretation of Bristol, using only black technical pens. There is no text on Fuller’s map, only symbols to portray key landmarks. Balloons, kits, churches, chimneys, even a pipe and slippers to represent a certain Cheltenham Road boozer: all manner of elegant, ornate and very Bristolian images have been deployed in Fuller’s beautiful, stylised, affectionate portrait of our city. Pictured here is the Stokes Croft section. Fuller’s map will be accompanied, for this two-week, Bristol-themed exhibition, by works from other Bristol-based artists Rowdy, Jim Starr, Lemak and Keith. ■ Saturday, May 31 to Sunday, June 15. See listings for details.

IF WALLS COULD TALK CENTRESPACE SUPERNATURE GLASS WALK, CABOT CIRCUS

his striking group exhibition features work by about 20 artists from Bristol, Cambridge, Cornwall and London, all inspired by “the magnificence of nature” – be it British scenes or more exotic landscapes and creatures. Artists include Abigail McDougall, best known for her Bristol in a Different Light watercolours. Abigail has been working on a series of paintings of the River Frome around Snuff Mills – a shift from her mostly urban scenes, to a depiction of the much wilder, more secret areas of the city. Alongside these east Bristol scenes are more fanciful pieces such as In the Garden, pictured. Elsewhere, Dolores de Sade takes everyday

aspects of British life – roadside cafés, trees, plants and rocks – and brings them together to form mysterious exotic landscapes that seem to have been taken straight from the jungle. This is the third exhibition programmed by Bristol Contemporary Art, following their launch on Park Street in 2011 and last year’s Storytelling exhibition in Cabot Circus, part of the Bristol Biennial. The gallery hopes to move into exhibiting at art fairs nationally and internationally, starting with the Bristol Affordable Art Fair this September.

■ City-centre gallery Centrespace hosts a solo exhibition for street artist JPS (aka Jamie Paul Scanlon, born and bred in Weston-super-Mare), who has recently been named as one of the top 10 global stencil artists by an Australian stencil art expert. Over the last 12 months JPS has been producing his own free outside exhibition in the grounds of Barrow Gurney Hospital: for the Centrespace show, you’ll find a broad range of his stencil art, which bears obvious Banksy influences (Big Deal, pictured), alongside other pieces by fellow street artists Art Trespasser and Diff Streetart.

his annual fundraiser for Bristol’s Slapstick Festival boasts perhaps its most impressive line-up yet. Certainly, the headliners are three household names from the very top tier of comedy, demonstrating the level of affection in which Slapstick is held across the comedy and film worlds. The laconic, bone-dry Jack Dee is joined by Al Murray, aka the Pub Landlord, and the jovial, softly spoken and sharp-witted Dara O’ Brian. A brilliant night’s comedy is further supplemented by writer/ actor Tony Hawks, Jeremy Hardy (I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue, QI, The News Quiz), Sony Award winner (and Cheddar boy) Richard Herring and comedy writer/performer Jo Caulfield. In short, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see some of the UK’s finest stand-up performers on the same bill – with all proceeds going to a much-loved Bristol cultural institution.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE HARRY QUEBERT AFFAIR BY JOEL DICKER ■ Joel Dicker’s second novel has now been translated into English, but has already been a hit in his native French – so much so that Warner Bros have picked up the film rights, with a big-screen adaptation set to be directed by Ron Howard. There are startling similarities between the plot and the reception to the book, almost as if Dicker had written his own success story. Marcus is the hottest new thing on New York’s literary scene, but when it comes time to submit his second novel, he’s completely stumped for ideas. An author retreat with his friend Harry Quebert, famous novelist and his former college lecturer, seems like the perfect antidote to writer’s block, but when the 33-year-old murder case of a teenage girl is unearthed and Harry is put in the frame, Marcus begins a book he hopes will prove his mentor’s innocence. The Truth About The Harry Quebert Affair lives up to the hype – make sure you read it before the film gives away the ending.

BOOK OF THE WEEK: Heartman by M P Wright

he TV rights to M P Wright’s crime thriller Heartman, which is set almost entirely in Bristol, have already been bought. Which means at some point in the near future we may see this gritty story of mysterious disappearances and exploitation by the city’s elite on the small screen. Plenty of authors or TV producers have “borrowed” Bristol as a location to set their novel or film in, creating a fictional location to go along with the storyline. So it’s an unusual experience to read a book that is planted firmly in the city and not only that, but one that namechecks pubs, squares and streets that we all know from our time living or working here. It’s the tale of Joseph Tremaine (JT) Ellingon, an ex-cop who has left his native Barbados in search of a better life in the UK. But Bristol in the 1960s is far from the promised land, and JT not only finds the weather inhospitable but the people as well. Down on his luck and nursing a drink in the Star and Garter, he is approached by local business mogul Earl Linney who gives him an envelope full of banknotes in return for finding Stella Hopkins, a young deaf and mute West Indian woman who has gone missing, with the police seemingly disinterested.

58 S E E I T ● ● ● ● ●

Enlisting his rough-around-the-edges cousin Vic to the cause, JT plunges into the seedier side of Bristol and finds himself struggling to make sense of what is going on in a world of prostitution, kidnapping and violence. The story of rich men exploiting the city’s Afro-Caribbean population may be a bit near the knuckle for some, but the plot does keep you turning the pages. M P Wright himself lives in Leicestershire, so at first glance you might wonder why he’s chosen Bristol as the setting for his novel. But his experience as a former private investigator has clearly given him an insight into how criminal elements can operate in the dark places that normal residents don’t want to know about.

Heartman is published by Black&White on July 1, priced £7.99 in paperback.

THE MURDER BAG BY TONY PARSONS ■ Veteran bestseller Tony Parsons is turning his hand to crime writing with The Murder Bag, the gripping debut in a new series featuring single father Detective Max Wolf. The novel opens on a group of public schoolboys carrying out the horrific rape and murder of a young girl. Years later, those boys have grown into some of the most powerful young men on the London scene. Detective Wolf begins a new role in the homicide division just as these men start being killed off. Cleverly entrenched in the genre of the crime thriller, this book is a melting pot of action, dark humour and violence all undercut with Parsons’ trademark flashes of tender emotion. At times, though, the twists in this tale are too obvious and murderers prove grisly, if unsurprising. The next book in the series is already billed for next year. ■ Published in hardback by Century, priced £9.99 (ebook £3.99).

WEEKEND 59

Property of the week

A modern space for living and working

his is the place to be if your preference is for modernity. From the electric front gate to the metal and glass staircase, vaulted ceilings and acres of glazing, there’s plenty of contemporary architectural details, while the oak floors are shown off beautifully against the white-painted decor. In terms of accommodation, the ground floor houses a kitchen/diner and an en suite bedroom, with a living area, two further bedrooms and a bathroom above. This layout means the property would work as a family house or lend itself to a work-from-home professional, with living space downstairs and a studio and offices above. And what a studio it would be! Reached via a “floating” spiral staircase encased in glass, the vaulted ceiling and windows front and back combine to ensure it’s a really bright space. This scenario is achieved mostly on account of the almost floor-to-ceiling windows and door at the front, through which the balcony is reached. A relatively private place that’s big enough for a table and chairs, it would be tempting for a home worker to spend a lot of time here, when the weather permits. This “studio” area, which could work equally well as a sitting room, is more than 22ft, or 6.78m long, and leads on to two bedrooms, each with high angled ceilings and, like the downstairs bedroom, have TV, phone and network points. As you’d expect, the bath/shower rooms

60 S E E I T ● ● ● ● ●

have white suites and tiled floors, but you’ll not need slippers to protect bare feet from cold in winter, since a gas boiler is set up to power under-floor heating throughout the house. Moving to the ground floor, the galleried hallway is lit naturally by huge glazed doors and windows overlooking the patio, while the open-plan kitchen and living area spans 27ft, or 8.5m. Fitted across one end of the space, the kitchen units are white, with pale grey-green worktops and Perspex splashbacks, a stainless steel sink, built-in five-ring gas hob, electric double oven, dishwasher, fridge, freezer and washing machine – so there’s everything you need. There’s also a video entry phone. Off the living area is the master bedroom and en suite, but there’s also a cloakroom on this floor, too. The aforementioned patio extends to the entrance gate and doubles as a parking area, while to one side is a curved and raised shrub bed, with steps up to a lawn, softened by a variety of plants and a mature fir tree. The plot is walled on each side, with fence to the rear.

If your lawn’s a mud bath why not fake it? Gardening When the weather’s wet, it’s almost impossible to use a traditional lawned garden, so Ali Smith, from Bristol’s Secret Garden Landscaping, suggests an alternative approach

e love our gardens for all sorts of reasons: maybe it’s used as another “room”, a place to grow fruit and vegetables, or somewhere safe and exciting to play outside. Most of us probably want a mixture of all of the above. So, when designing a garden, we aim to develop the space in such a way that it works well for all the people who are using it. An important question is how often can we actually use our outdoor space? With Britain’s notoriously wet weather, the answer is not as much as we would like! A traditional garden to suit everyone will have a paved or decked seating area, some flower beds and a lawn where children can play safely. Maybe there’s a veg patch and a shed, too. But this kind of garden cannot cope with the level of rain we have experienced in recent months; it soon turns into a mud bath, with weedy borders and a slippery seating area. The garden becomes totally unusable, ugly and a waste of valuable space. What would be ideal in wet conditions is a garden you can get out in as soon as it stops raining. A sunny afternoon is so beautiful after rain; the blue sky is crystal clear and all the drops of water catch the light. It would be great just to get straight out there. Often we think of a lawn as an essential part of the garden, but I feel that, especially in small town gardens, a lawn can be replaced in many ways in order to make the garden much more accessible. Artificial grass, pictured, has come a long way: it is low maintenance and can look like the real thing. There are other possibilities, like rubber bark, gravel, or a mix of different paving. Rubber bark comes in different colours, provides a safe surface for children to play on and it also drains really fast. We like to install it around water play areas for that reason. Perhaps for those without children at home, it’s

better to have a mixture of hard surfaces everywhere. If there is no requirement for an open area, then you may as well do away with a lawn or hard landscaping altogether and instead fill the space with planting and paths. Small patches can be created where you can sit, catch the sun and take in the smells and sounds of the drying garden, leaving the majority of the garden free for plants. A final tip: a really good way of increasing the ability of your soil to hold water and still keep

its structure is to mix in plenty of organic matter, such as compost, or well rotted manure. This will also work in reverse, allowing the soil to retain water in drought conditions.

‘I had no idea what I was letting myself in for’ MARY’S SILVER SERVICE JUNE 4, CHANNEL 4, 8PM ■ Although they may be worried about how exactly they are going to pay for it, some people can’t wait for the day they can officially give up work and start their retirement. But could it be that by pensioning off older workers, we’re losing out on valuable skills and experience? And would some retirees actually prefer to be back in employment, giving youngsters the benefit of their hard-earned wisdom? Retail expert Mary Portas certainly thinks so. The erstwhile Queen of Shops is setting up a recruitment agency designed to get OAPs back into the workforce.

I BOUGHT A RAINFOREST JUNE 1, BBC2, 8PM

hanks to the power of the Internet, many of us have bought random things, often late at night after one too many. However, there were no surprises for wildlife cameraman Charlie Hamilton James when he bought 49 hectares of the Peruvian rainforest. The former Bristol-based BBC Natural History Unit cameraman first found fame with his wife Philippa Forrester and their My Halcyon River wildlife documentary, which beautifully captured the lives of otters living on the river beside their Somerset home. In this latest doc, Charlie has one simple motive for making the extraordinary purchase: he wants to stop loggers entering the Manu

National Park and cutting down trees illegally. Sounds like a great idea for a series you might think, and you'd be right. In this inaugural episode, he sets up camp and gets his bearings. However, like some of the problems you get with online shopping, there was more to his acquisition that met the eye. Charlie discovers he has not purchased the virgin rainforest of his dreams, but an area of secondary forest complete with a squatter, cocaine crops and some potentially dangerous neighbours. He says: “I bought the land in an attempt to stop illegal logging, but I had no idea what I was letting myself in for. The jeopardy is all real.” So will he cut his losses or press on?
