■ Bluebells bobbing their heads in woods in springtime... all very Wordsworth and cliched. But also really rather pretty and well worth looking out for if the weather holds out.

■ With dishes influenced by Italy, Spain and the Middle East, this quality neighbourhood restaurant is justifiably packed and buzzy with locals most nights of the week.

COMPETITION WIN A FREE SET OF LINGERIE COURTESY OF TRIUMPH

Pick up a bargain for St Peter’s St Peter’s Hospice shops are packed full of bargains from the High Street and famous designers, making them a fashionable and purse-friendly way to update your wardrobe, while also raising vital funds for a local charity, writes Natalie Banyard.

e Bristolians love our fashion – but we like to bag a bargain, too, which is why one local charity is demonstrating how summer chic can be achieved on a budget. With reports that 2014 is set to be a scorcher, now is the perfect time to update your wardrobe with some of the latest spring/summer trends. But it doesn’t need to cost the earth – you can get the latest look at a fraction of the price and support your local charity at St Peter’s Hospice shops. Stocking pre-loved items from French Connection, Topshop, Phase Eight and Christian Dior, to name just a few, you’ll be surprised what you might find in one of the 47 St Peter’s Hospice shops across the city. Janet Loud, head of shops for St Peter’s Hospice, says: “As Weekend readers know, Bristol is filled with great high street shops and some lovely independent boutiques, but this summer we’re really encouraging people to step out of their comfort zones and take a look at what is available in their local St Peter’s Hospice shop. “Each of the 47 shops in Bristol has its own personality and you can really have some fun looking around and digging out unique items. “Each piece is in perfect condition and there really are some true gems, so give it a go!” From lightweight spring jackets and floral print dresses to summer sandals and pretty blouses, shoppers are spoiled for choice. And there’s something for the boys, too, with shirts, shorts, sandals and accessories all in store at less than half the price of most retailers. Janet adds: “With blossom on the trees and warmer days, this is a great time to update your wardrobe with a few key items or even give it a complete makeover.

“However, keeping up with the latest styles can be expensive so we’re encouraging people to visit St Peter’s Hospice shops where we’ve got a fantastic range of spring and summer wear at amazing prices. “It’s great to be able to add some colour to outfits with a bright jacket or a stunning pair of shoes. There are some wonderful prints around and we have loads of menswear too. “With a wide selection of beautiful dresses and elegant heels, it’s easy to get a stylish look for a wedding or summer party for less than £20. “Updating your wardrobe at St Peter’s Hospice makes great sense – you’ll have a fab new look, more money in your purse and you’ll be supporting Bristol’s adult hospice at the same time.” As Bristol’s only adult hospice, St Peter’s cares for more than 2,670 patients each year, as well as supporting family members. All services are provided free of charge but this care costs about £18,000 a day. For about £14,000 of that, the hospice relies on gifts in wills, kind donations and funds generated by the hospice shops. Janet is also keen to encourage people to donate any quality clothes that they no longer want. “We appreciate all the wonderful donations of items that we receive and all the clothes we put out on our rails are great quality. If you’re sorting out your wardrobe, please do remember to drop your pre-loved items at one of our shops.” With shops in Bedminster, Backwell, Knowle, Kingswood, Keynsham, Yate, Horfield, Long Ashton, Chipping Sodbury, Whitchurch, Hanham and Bristol City Centre, as well as many others, you will never be far from your nearest shop. ■ To find your nearest St Peter’s Hospice shop visit www.stpetershospice.org.uk.

Whatever your needs we have a fully comprehensive solution

ith five showrooms throughout the region and its main office and central warehouse in Clevedon, Timbercraft has much to offer customers from Bristol and beyond. Through the network of showrooms we offer a superb range of kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms, with a strong emphasis on quality. Above all else, our fitting service is fully comprehensive, so that clients know they will only ever need to deal with one company to resolve all issues regarding their project. We have built up a robust system of checking each order to minimise errors and a superior level of site supervision so that every job is thoroughly surveyed before any orders are placed for goods. For each project there is a designated installer overseen by an experienced project manager and backed by in-house customer services staff.

home to take a detailed brief of your intended project. Measurements, often supported by photographs, will be taken of the existing space, which are kept on file so the designers can accurately plan your updated room. You will then be invited back to one of the showrooms, where the designer will present ideas to you in detail, using full-colour computerised imagery which means you will be able to “see” the finished product. This is your opportunity to fine tune the details, so that a scheme can be finalised which fulfils all your requirements. At this juncture the designer will be able to discuss costs in some detail with you and different options can be examined to achieve what you want at a suitable price. At no time will you be pressurised to go ahead with something you are not entirely happy with.

SHOWROOMS

INSTALLATION

If you are looking to replace your kitchen, bathroom or bedroom, then pay us a visit. The showrooms are all designed with the customer in mind and, where possible, we have set up “rooms” to simulate a real kitchen, bathroom or bedroom. Our showroom-based specialist designers are highly trained and have a wealth of experience, so they will make it easy for you to envisage your own home as it could be in the future. You will find the show rooms very relaxing places, with helpful, experienced staff who allow visitors to browse in peace.

For many years now we have offered a fully comprehensive installation service in contrast to many of our competitors, who are only set up to handle the core installation work. Long ago we came to recognise that people would prefer to deal with one company, who can do all the work, so that they do not have to deal individually with tradesmen, whose work schedules may be difficult to co-ordinate. Very often we come across kitchens or bathrooms, where a small amount of building work is required, for example a wall needs removing or an area needs plastering. This is often inconvenient as this work must be completed before the main installation works can start. We spend a long time scheduling each project, so that, wherever possible, one job can

DESIGN SERVICE Our designer’s advice to you will be entirely free. Our method of operation is to visit your

move seamlessly to the next, with absolutely minimal disruption. We also offer a comprehensive decorating and tiling service to ensure that all projects can be supervised and completed by us. When customers decide to proceed with us, we always give them a schedule for the week the work will commence. Shortly after placing an order, one of our project managers will visit your home to run through the job with you. Just before the work is due to proceed, a customer services manager contacts you to confirm the start time. The customer service manager is your main point of contact and will be in regular contact throughout the project. One of our project managers will oversee the work. They are all experienced installers and are ultimately responsible for ensuring that our very high standards are maintained. Whatever your needs – a kitchen, bedroom or bathroom – Timbercraft can provide the answers with care and professionalism.

WEEKEND 9

Brew a cup of healing leaves Kate Edser talks to Bristol-based tea importer, Anne Sheekey, who is on a mission to follow her Chinese ancestors in promoting tea for health, not just as a soothing hot drink

ea is a warming, comforting, everyday drink that’s great in a crisis and a perfect accompaniment to cake. At least, that’s the Western world’s viewpoint. To the Chinese, it’s more about health and wellbeing, which is a message Bristol tea company ATTIC is pushing – and for good reason. ATTIC co-founder Anne Sheekey, who’s half Chinese, explains: “For me, tea is the best plant for human health. It is full of nutrients that our body craves such as amino acids, antioxidants, trace elements, vitamins and minerals, and it has no toxicity. “We are trying to encourage the way the Chinese have used tea as a health drink for millennia. In China tea is huge, but here we’ve been slightly hoodwinked into drinking rubbish tea! “Tea here has got better, but I think the tea

bag has a lot to answer for. It has taken away the use of tea as a tonic and it has encouraged our demand for convenience and that takes away the beauty of using the natural world as a means to find balance in life. “Black tea [in ‘everyday’ tea bags] is the right tea for people to use as a ‘come and sit down, everything will be all right’ drink and it’s an appropriate tea for our culture because it is calming, but most people don’t brew it for long enough. “Tea has a little bit of caffeine in it, and a little bit of caffeine is actually good for the body because it helps with absorption, which is why it’s in things like headache tablets. But if you only brew tea for a minute, all you’re getting out is the caffeine. It needs to steep for three or four minutes.” ATTIC (an acronym for All The Tea In China) was set up by Anne and her partner, Ric Vaughan-Davies, in 2006 after she took a trip to

from Friday, May 2, 2014

China. Through a trusted supplier there, ATTIC now sells all five “pure” teas (black, white, green, oolong and pu’erh). All tea comes from the same plant, it’s the production process that creates the differing colours and flavours. Anne explains: “With green tea, all the enzymes in the leaf are killed with heat so it never oxidises, but black tea is fully oxidised, which is what produces the brown colour. Oolong sits in between. “White tea is made from very young leaves; it is delicate, light and quite sweet, but it is the purest tea – just the buds before it has become green tea. “Pu’erh tea comes wrapped in little cakes. It’s been fermented in underground in caves and good bacteria come though it in the composing process. “It’s the only tea that gets better with age and the Chinese will pay thousands for it.” ATTIC also sells a range of ten “clinic” teas,

■ ATTIC teas are 100 per cent natural, calorie free, low in caffeine and packaged in re-sealable bags. The “Pure” tea range represents the best of China tea, introducing one of each of the five types: black, white, green, oolong and pu’erh. Each type tea comes from the same plant. The variation comes through differing production techniques. ATTIC also has a ten-strong “Clinic” range containing tea and herbs: Sleep, Focus, Digestion, Uplifting, Immunity, Brain-boosting, Reviving, Energising, Stress-busting and Comforting. About 40 per cent of the nation’s fluid each day comes from tea. Tea is a source of the minerals manganese, essential for bone growth and body development, and potassium, which is vital for maintaining body fluid levels. The average cup of tea contains less than half the amount of caffeine found in coffee.

which all contain about ten per cent of one of the pure varieties along with a blend of other plants designed to correct a health issue. When I visit ATTIC’s Kingsdown base, Anne pours me a cup of the latest product, and the first one the company has ever sold in a tea bag, called Teatox. It’s a blend of each of the five tea types and I’m surprised to find it’s deliciously mellow. Anne says: “Teatox is really everything ATTIC is about. We sell just five pure teas because we think they are the most potent for health. It’s one tea bag per day, you just keep topping up your mug with water. “Because we promote health through tea we don’t suggest taking it with milk as that stops your body absorbing nutrients. “Most people notice a difference in three or four days, with better energy levels and digestion, which are tiny things, but have a massive knock-on effect in your life. I’ve been

trialling Teatox every day for about three weeks and I’ve noticed I need about an hour and a half less sleep than I used to.” ATTIC sells online or through markets in Bristol, Bath and Frome. There are also free monthly tea-tasting sessions at the Clifton Hotel, but increasingly Anne is on a mission to improve health in the workplace. She says: “We go into offices and do free tastings and presentations and people come and talk to us about their health. Everyone sits at a desk all day, which is not how our bodies are designed to work, so people get digestive problems and back problems. “In an office, most people are drinking rubbish hot drinks all day and it’s not that big a shift to drink good tea; it’s not like saying you have to go to the gym four times a week, it’s just about changing what you put in your hot water. “It’s a health solution without really much work, so it’s a no brainer to me.”

My day on a plate

KATE PERCY FOOD WRITER Age: 49 Address: Freeland Place, Clifton Profession: Food for fitness writer and cook, author of Go Faster Food and Go Faster Food for Kids Height: 5 ft 9in Weight: 60kg (9 and a half stone) How would you describe your diet? Healthy, varied and balanced – I try to practice what I preach! Do you have any specific nutritional requirements? No What do you do, if anything, by way of exercise? Mainly running (I run marathons) but I also love to cycle, kayak and walk; basically anything that involves being out in the fresh air.

SALLY BEARE NUTRITIONAL THERAPIST Age: 46 Address: Montpelier, Bristol Profession: Nutritional therapist and author Height: 5ft 7ins Weight: 56.3kg (just under 9 stone)

called Akea Essentials which the American company I work for makes, a piece of pumpernickel bread (toasted) with olive oil, a poached egg, and a slice of tomato. A cup of green tea.

How would you describe your diet? Pretty healthy, but not perfect.

Lunch: Salad, half an avocado, some nuts and seeds, potato and watercress soup, a slice of sourdough rye toast with butter. Plus more green tea.

Do you have any specific nutritional requirements? I can’t eat wheat. What do you do, if anything, by way of exercise? Some walking at weekends and I try to walk to school and back to get the children at least twice a week. I have a hula hoop, which I mean to use for ten minutes a day, but never do. Breakfast: Half an apple, a smoothie made with oat milk, soy yoghurt and a whole food powder

Dinner: A glass of organic rosé wine, some olives, a home-made corn tortilla with black beans, soured cream, coriander and guacamole, some green beans with olive oil and lemon. Extras: Three cheesy oatcakes on the way back from the school run, four pieces of dark chocolate soon after lunch, and a chocolate-covered fig after supper.

Breakfast: A typical breakfast for me is porridge or muesli with fresh fruit, often followed by wholemeal toast and marmite. Lunch: If I’m working from home, I’ll have something like a couscous and roasted veg salad, or sardines on wholemeal toast with a tomato salad. If I’m on the go, I’ll usually grab a tuna sandwich, one of those tubs of fresh fruit salad and a bottle of water. Dinner: We eat our main family meal in the evening. Tonight we’re having spaghetti with homemade basil pesto; last night was Indian-spiced salmon with sag aloo (potato and spinach curry). Pudding is normally fruit or yoghurt. Snacks: I’ll often have a handful of seeds, nuts and raisins or an energy-boosting flapjack before a run or whizz up a banana smoothie after a long run to help recovery. I tend not to snack otherwise ... except for a couple of squares of dark chocolate after supper most nights!

Micro-payment money spinner POP GOES THE NEWS WEB HEADLINES

No ads, low prices, and good at just one thing: messaging. That’s the appeal behind WhatsApp, one of the biggest apps on the net

hat is WhatsApp? The short answer is: it’s a free messaging service. The slightly longer answer is: it’s a bit of a phenomenon, and it’s knocking better-known messaging services out of its way as it grows. Last week, WhatsApp (now owned by Facebook, but crucially not covered in any Facebook branding) announced it had reached 500 million active users. Note the word “active” – that means there must be thousands, probably millions more people who have signed up but aren’t using the service on a regular basis. Yet. Take a quick look at WhatsApp and you might not be very impressed. There are dozens of apps like it for phones and desktop computers. They’ve been around for years. So what makes WhatsApp so appealing to so many people? One answer is reliability and simplicity. The WhatsApp development team is famous for its tight focus on the most important part of the

service: getting messages from A to B reliably and efficiently. They have deliberately concentrated their efforts on getting this bit done right, generally avoiding the temptation to add on extra features. Consequently, even when your phone is perilously close to losing its network connection altogether, WhatsApp will do the right thing and get your message sent to its recipient. A second answer: it’s cross platform. WhatsApp works on all the different flavours of smartphone, so you can stay in touch with all your friends without worrying which one they use. Finally, WhatsApp has no adverts. It charges a subscription fee instead: just one dollar per year, and the first year is free anyway. This kind of micro-payment is perfect. It’s so low that no-one thinks twice about paying, but it’s enough that once WhatsApp has hundreds of millions of users, it becomes a decent money spinner.

BLUE BLOOMS POPULAR WOODLAND RESERVES Prior’s Wood, in Portbury

FAMILY RUN ARNOS VALE

Lower Woods, in South Gloucestershire Weston Big Wood, near Clevedon Brown’s Folly, near Bath Willsbridge Valley, near Longwell Green Folly Farm, in the Chew Valley

■ Toddlers and their parents are being encouraged to sign up to the Arnos Vale Family 5k Community Run this Bank Holiday Monday (May 5). It’s the third time the event has been staged, and it has become established as a popular fundraising event for the local community. As well as the main 5k event, five to 15-year-olds can take on a 2k challenge and there is also the “puddleducks” two-lap toddle of Ceremonial Way. The full race incorporates Arnos Vale Park next door. Visit www.arnosvale.org.uk to see how you can sign up.

Picture: Tom Marshall

here are some things you have all year to enjoy – a stroll round the Harbourside, The Downs, your favourite local pub – but some are more fleeting. The appearance of Hyacinthoides non-scripta (that’s bluebells to you and me) only lasts a few weeks, and the display is at its peak in the next few days. All across verges, copses and woodland you can find this stunning carpet of blue, which also comes with its own unique fragrance. There are places in the city where you can hand over a few quid and see exotic plants, but this display is free if you have the time to head out and about to track them down. Because it heralds the peak of spring, and is

such a pretty sight, the bluebell is often hailed as the favourite flower of the British Isles. While they’re nice to look at, don’t be tempted to uproot a plant and take it home. The bluebell is a protected species and while you’d be unlucky to get caught, you can be fined up to £5,000 for removing a bulb. The plant is native to Western Europe, so shores beyond our own are blessed with it, and it has also been introduced to parts of North America. It’s not just about bluebells at this time of year, “support acts” include wood anemone and wild garlic. You might also consider planning a trip to the gardens at Ashton Court, as there are more than 160 species of rose grown in the sunken area close to the mansion building. Outdoor Shakespeare is often put on here, but few sights and smells match the dazzling variety of blooms on show here. But there are few sights in the UK’s natural world to rival a piece of ancient woodland towering over a carpet of blue.

AUTHOR TALK ROMAN BATHS ■ As part of Bath’s Museums at Night celebrations in May, there is the rare chance to enjoy a torchlit parade and meet a bestselling author at the same time. Historic novelist Lindsey Davis is best known for writing The Course of Honour, the true story of the Emperor Vespasian and his mistress Caenis, and for the not-inconsiderable 20-volume mystery series featuring Roma detective Falco. She will be talking about her career, appropriately in surroundings which owe much to their Roman roots, at the Pump Room on Friday, May 16, from 7pm to 8pm. Call Bath Box Office on 01225 463362 for tickets, which will include a glass of wine and admission to a special music event afterwards.

Lunch with the family Relax by the pool

ike the water outside the window of this poolside café/bar, things are only just warming up for The Lido Kitchen’s second summer. Set up in 2012 by Bristol restaurateur James Savage, this iconic 1960s-built café on Portishead seafront is now in the hands of former manager Gemma Coles, who is running the place pretty much as before. Perched on the water’s edge, with stunning views across the Bristol Channel towards Wales, it’s a lovely location and light streams through large windows on two sides of the room, with glimpses of the colourful open-air pool through another window. The uncoated, sandy-coloured wooden tables, table numbers chalked on to shiny pebbles and small metal buckets of cutlery add a Cornish beach café feel to the place and there is a genuine “on holiday” atmosphere, whether the sun is shining or not. In the kitchen is head chef Tremaine Plummer, who has worked in several notable pubs in Bristol, including The Spotted Cow in Bedminster and The Robin Hood’s Retreat on Gloucester Road. Food is served all day, from breakfast through to dinner, and the brunch options (available 9am-3pm) include pancakes with bacon and maple syrup, eggs Benedict and a full English breakfast (including a child-sized version) and a “little kids” poached egg and soldiers.

19 EAT IT ● ● ● ● ●

Children are well catered for here and lunch/dinner options include fishcake with creamed leeks, Cumberland sausage and chips or courgette, pea and mint risotto (all £5). For the grown-ups, choices include burgers (£8.75), beer-battered fish and chips (£8.50) and a veggie goats’ cheese and beetroot salad (£6.50). I went for a starter of rare roast duck salad (£6), a well-presented dish of pink and tender slices of duck mixed into a tangle of sliced fennel, lamb’s lettuce, frisée, crunchy carrot and segments of orange, all brought together with a mustardy dressing. This was followed by an 8oz rib-eye steak (£17.45), from the dinner menu, which was perfectly cooked on the rarer side of medium and served with greaseless chips that were crisp outside and fluffy within. A separate jug of peppercorn sauce was creamy, rich, peppery and may well have had a glug of brandy added to it. From a concise dessert menu that also includes lemon posset and blueberry Eton mess, banoffee pie (£5.50) had been deconstructed into a buttery biscuit base layered with firm slices of banana, a blanket of toffee sauce and topped with quenelles of light and airy whipped cream. It was a harmonious coupling of flavours and textures, but the richness and generosity of the portion soon had me waving the white napkin of surrender and feeling quite relieved that I hadn’t made any rash plans to belly-flop into the pool afterwards.

n a drizzly Saturday night, Manna is packed and buzzy, mainly with locals lucky enough to live around the corner. But then why would you want to venture into town when you can enjoy such a great neighbourhood bar and restaurant on your doorstep? Housed in what was once a Chinese takeaway, Manna is small but perfectly formed, with a bar area for those who just want to pop in for a glass of wine or a cold beer, perhaps accompanied by a bowl of harissa and honey roasted nuts. Manna recently celebrated its second birthday with the launch of a new menu that expands on its original tapas theme with a few more main course-size dishes. Sibling to popular Italian restaurant Prego opposite, Manna is more broadly European in style, with dishes influences by Spain, the Middle East and Italy. Co-owner Olly Gallery splits his time between both restaurants but the execution of the new Manna menu is very much down to chef Rick Stephenson, who previously worked for Stephen Markwick at Culinaria. The food here is rustic, big-flavoured and generous. From the appetisers, the croquetas (£3.50) were plump, golden-crusted cigars of hot and melting smoked haddock and leek. Beetroot with Vulscombe goats’ cheese (£3) was something of a revelation, being a cold

mash of yellow beetroot (rather than the more obvious red variety), topped with chopped dill and crumbled goats’ cheese with plenty of salty tang. From the starters/small plates section of the menu, crispy pumpkin with ricotta, blossom honey and oregano (£6.50) was similar in style to the croquetas, the golden bread-crumbed parcels of sweet pumpkin scattered with creamy ricotta, dribbles of fragrant honey and a few oregano leaves. It was a combination that worked brilliantly well, as did the rich wild mushroom ragu (£6.95), a dish of creamy mushrooms and leeks topped with grated Parmesan, four balls of cold mozzarella and the crisp crunch of pangratatto (Italian-style breadcrumbs) with a thwack of chilli. Seared Cornish scallops with tiger prawns (£7.95) took on an international flavour with coconut, five spice and peanuts more associated with Asian cooking, but also roast pearl barley pepped up with the Middle Eastern spice za’atar. From the new main courses, a precisely cooked fillet of Cornish hake (£14.95) was coupled with a punchy Mediterranean combination of roast tomatoes, fine beans, black olive and coriander. Blood orange semi-fredo with rhubarb and toasted almonds (£5.95) was a cool, refreshing and perfectly seasonal end to the meal.

WEEKEND 21

New Opening Welcome addition to Italian scene

y primary school-level grasp of the Italian language tells me the name of the restaurant translates as “beautiful view” – and there’s no denying that the outlook from Bella Vista has its charms. Next to Bristol Bridge and looking out across the River Avon to Castle Park, it’s a pleasant view and you can see why Addy Zaganjori and Petrit Krasniqi decided to open their first restaurant in this former branch of Starbucks. The new owners have years of experience in other restaurants around the city, including Sergio’s in Frogmore Street and Mezzaluna in Bedminster, so they must know their market and clearly hope to attract a few of their old regulars to their new venture. And in fact, Bella Vista is a welcome addition to Bristol’s somewhat overcrowded Italian restaurant scene. Italian restaurants tend to fall into two categories: contemporary places, serving seasonal regional cooking, or traditional trattorias with wicker-clad Chianti bottles and enormous pepper grinders. Bella Vista falls between two stools in that it has the light and airy feel of a modern Italian restaurant, but it also has the paper-napkinsstuffed-into-wine-glasses look usually associated with less contemporary places. The olive-green walls are dotted with photographs of Venice and Vespas and there is an

abundance of leafy pot plants and the strains of Dean Martin crooning Volare in the background. The menu is packed with familiar Italian pasta and pizza dishes, as well as meat and fish main courses. A hearty starter of funghi al dolcelatte (£6.95) was by no means shy, the huge fleshy field mushrooms topped with a generous handful of wilted spinach and outrageously rich and creamy blue cheese sauce. Similarly, gamberoni diavola (£7.95) was an enormous plate of king prawns in a blanket of fiery, garlicky tomato and white wine sauce that made the lips tingle. Tagliatelle ai funghi (£10.95) wasn’t a dish for dieters – the mound of egg tagliatelle topped with creamy wild porcini mushrooms, Parmesan, a good glug of musky truffle oil and slices of salty Parma ham. A good-value agnello al vino rosso (£14.95) comprised a thick rump of tender lamb with a good flavour matched by an intense sun-dried tomato and red wine sauce. It was accompanied by a complimentary bowl of broccoli and carrots, although a few potatoes wouldn’t have gone amiss. To finish, a light and zesty lemon gelato with limoncello sauce (£5.75) and a candied fruit and chocolate-studded slice of cassata (£4.95) were as generous as the rest.

PUB OF THE WEEK THE KINGS ARMS

t seemed rather timely that my unscheduled stop at The Kings Arms coincided with the National Day for England. After all, the village of Eastonin-Gordano was once known as St George. A large detached Victorian pub with a decked area next to the car park at the front and an annexe at the back for the well-used skittles alley, The Kings Arms serves the villagers of Easton-in-Gordano and nearby Pill, but it’s also convenient for Portishead commuters. Although the pub’s interior has been updated over the years, it still retains plenty of its original character, particularly in the cosy back room, part of which was being used by diners when I visited. Walls are dotted with framed black and white photos of the village over the years and there are three pairs of mounted antlers above the doorway leading to the dining area. Occasional live music and open mic nights take place in the main front bar, which also has a pool table and flat-screen TV on the wall for live sport. The smaller room at the back is where the hand pumps for the real ales are, as well as a

few jacketed barrels of ales lined up against the back bar. These included Moles Brewery Moleslayer, Cottage Brewery St George’s and the Dartmoor Jail Ale I chose – at £3.20 a pint, it was good value and in excellent condition. Doom Bar and Courage Best are also served on draught, with Thatchers Dry, Thatchers Gold and Cheddar Valley lined up for the cider drinkers. Food is served from breakfast until dinner. Close to the M5 and Gordano Services, it’s a popular pit-stop for a full English (£5.50) and at lunchtime there is a wide range of paninis and sandwiches for about £5. In the evening, the menu is extensive and includes beef chilli (£7.95), slow-cooked belly of pork with creamy mash and mushy peas (£11.99) and whole rack of ribs in barbecue sauce, with hand-cut chips and slaw (£13.99). Starters include queen scallops in a creamy white wine sauce topped with mash (£5.50) and there is a separate menu for burgers, including a venison one with red marmalade and chips for £7.95. ■ 12 St Georges Hill, Easton-in-Gordano, BS20 0PS.

WINE OF THE WEEK TESCO FINEST ARGENTINA MENDOZA CHARDONNAY ■ Tesco Finest Argentina Mendoza Chardonnay 2013 is currently on promotion (until May 20) at £6.49, reduced from £8.49. That makes it a special bargain. Yellow-gold in colour, it has a luxurious hint of butter in the ripe-apple richness, even though it has not been oak-aged. It’s a testament to the uniquely sun-baked ripening conditions of the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza, close to the great mountain range of the Andes. As elegant and fresh as it is lush and rich, this wine is made by Catena, one of Argentina’s best-rated producers.

Free food makes a simple family supper

oraging for seasonal ingredients has never been more popular and the fact that it’s free means that doing so can also help to keep your food bill down. If you have children, an afternoon wandering around the countryside and city looking for wild pickings can be a fun experience, although the golden rule for anybody foraging for edible ingredients is “if in doubt, don’t pick it” and, particularly in the city, avoid areas where dogs may have been. The other obvious rule is wash everything thoroughly before eating, or cooking it. Rosehips on a Kitchen Table is a new book by Carolyn and Chris Caldicott, who owned the World Food Café in Covent Garden for many years, cooking delicious vegetarian food from recipes collected on their travels. The new book combines old-fashioned recipes and tips for cooking seasonal ingredients sourced from the hedgerows, as well as local suppliers and farmers’ markets. The recipes combine unusual, yet traditional ingredients such as nettles, rosehips and elderberries, as well as plenty of ideas for dealing with seasonal gluts and finding and cooking easily-foraged food. There are chapters on foraging and gathering, what to do with seasonal gluts, growing your own, plus a section on how to make something out of the most unusual ingredients. The recipes include the tried-and-tested dishes such as cobnut and rocket pesto with Maris Piper and parsnip gnocchi; sloe and elderberry cider; wild garlic and heritage potato dauphinoise and quince poached in vanilla and cinnamon syrup. Nettles are everywhere at the moment and although most of us think of them as a rather painful nuisance, they are packed full of protein, iron, magnesium and vitamins A, C, D and B complex. Their earthy, spinach-like flavour means they often appear on the menus of top restaurants. Nettles are at their best in the spring, when the plants are small and the leaves tender. By the summer, they have become too tough and fibrous to eat. Rubber gloves and long trousers tucked into wellies is the best uniform for nettle-picking and you should look for nettle patches away from paths, selecting only the new growth (the top four leaves should do it). As well as soup, pesto and tea, nettles also make a great risotto that’s bright green in colour.

NETTLE RISOTTO SERVES 4 ■ 3 rubber-gloved large handfuls of washed young nettle leaves ■ 3 tablespoons butter ■ 1 tablespoon olive oil ■ 1 small red onion, diced ■ 2 young leeks, cleaned and thinly sliced ■ 400g/2 cups arborio rice ■ 110ml/half a cup dry white wine ■ 1 litre/4 cups hot chicken or vegetable stock ■ 75g/1 cup grated Parmesan cheese ■ a handful of chopped parsley ■ a knob of butter ■ salt and black pepper To garnish ■ rocket leaves ■ extra grated Parmesan ■ a drizzle of olive oil

■ Drop the nettle leaves into a pan of rapidly boiling water. After no longer than a minute, drain the nettles and refresh with cold water. Blend the leaves in a processor until finely chopped. In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the butter and the olive oil. When the butter has melted, add the diced onion and leeks and sauté until soft, but not brown. Stir in the arborio rice until coated with butter, pour in the white wine and stir until the wine has been absorbed. Gradually add the hot stock, a ladle at a time, making sure all the stock has been absorbed before adding the next ladle. Stir continually to achieve the perfect creamy risotto. Add the prepared nettles, grated Parmesan, parsley, a large knob of butter and seasoning to taste. Stir until well combined. Serve topped with rocket leaves, extra grated Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil.

For the best French sunshine head to Corsica

lthough it is the closest Mediterranean island to the UK – at just over two hours’ flying time – and the fourth largest island in the Mediterranean, Corsica still remains a mystery to most. It lies some 170km off the French coast and 80km from Italy. Geographically, Corsica is tuned to Italy, but it is governed by France, so there is a mix of French and Italian influences, while the island retains its own personality. Laid back and unpretentious, Corsica is a wonderfully hospitable island. At the heart of the Mediterranean, it is steeped in tradition and the culture bears witness to the island’s often turbulent past, perhaps a reason why Corsicans are proud, generous and, very often, free spirited. If you are looking for great weather, Corsica has one of the best sunshine records in France, with 2,793 hours per year. Average summer temperatures reach a very pleasant 25°C, rising to as high as 35°C in July and August, and average daily hours of sunshine range from nine to 12 hours between May and September. With its 1,000km of stunning coastline and crystal clear waters, there are 200 beaches to choose from, with sand of every shade from white through to gold. Deserted beaches with hidden coves are perfect for couples, the many shaded and gently shelving beaches are ideal for children, while several magnificent bays are just right for water sports enthusiasts. The cuisine is best described as somewhere between French and Italian, but there are also many aspects which are distinctly Corsican. Most meals are rich and hearty, often

slow-cooked to maximise the flavour and to make the most of the wide array of vegetables, fruits and herbs that grow on the island. Corsicans take their food and drink very seriously, and it is quite common for islanders to take a leisurely three-course lunch accompanied by a few glasses of local wine. As many Corsicans regularly eat at restaurants, this means that standards are generally high. For more than 2,000 years, Corsica’s vineyards have produced wines, although the industry has recently experienced a renaissance and many wine growers are now producing truly organic wines, with flavours of the maquis and forest fruits. The vineyards are very beautiful, hanging on mountainsides above the Mediterranean, or tucked away in valleys below dramatically perched medieval villages. Corsican Places has weekly direct flights from May 25-September 21, flying with BMI Regional from Bristol to Bastia. Arriving into Bastia provides easy access to the North, North East or even l’Extrême Sud, and, with a fantastic range of handpicked villas, residences and hotels, you will be spoilt for choice. Corsica has something for everyone, whether you are looking for a traditional family beach holiday, a touring holiday discovering the breathtaking mountain scenery, a romantic break right in the heart of the atmospheric citadels, or a more energetic experience cycling, walking, or on the water. With 27 years’ experience of booking holidays here, Corsican Places has a bi-lingual, knowledgeable sales team with first-hand knowledge.

love my summer holidays, which are even more precious now the eldest of my daughters is approaching 15 and I feel the opportunities to make memories start ebbing away. It is also the reason why I love taking my family to France; travelling by car offers the chance to bond with them all without the stress of an airport check-in. You also get the benefit of a nice long sleep on the overnight ferry before the joys of a road trip in a foreign country. And, most importantly, my kids love it there. Although it would be easy to choose a siblu park closer to home, in Brittany or Normandy for example, the fact that the children are a bit older actually broadens the choice, and means we can afford the luxury of a longer car journey

south to the Charente-Maritime region. At Les Charmettes there is a plethora of activities to keep children of all ages entertained: football pitches, basketball courts, table tennis tables, archery, crazy golf, you name it... Or, if they just want to spend their days in the water, there is a huge pool complex with a splash zone, wave machine and some great slides. There is also a selection of kids’ clubs that cater for three different age ranges. There’s also a mini-supermarket, fast-food shop, restaurant and bar, and a launderette, free wi-fi and a cycle hire shop, too. This particular area of France is known as The Beautiful Coast, and with good reason. If you like soft, sandy beaches, you really are spoilt for choice. The nearest is at the seaside town of La Palmyre, just a two-mile journey away and easily do-able by bicycle. La Palmyre is also home to the town’s zoo, a selection of great little restaurants, and a very fine night market. Held every Wednesday night, it’s a lively affair with a whole host of local crafts and delicacies on offer. Hop in the car and travel a bit further down the coast towards Royan and you really do come to beach heaven: miles and miles of golden sand, with plenty of shallows to paddle in and some great surf. Further afield there are also plenty of beautiful beaches on the islands of Ile d’Aix, Ile d’Oleron and Ile Madame, just a short boat ride or bridge hop away. Ile d’Oleron is a treat in itself, with its lime-washed houses and external stone staircases. Not only does it have the best water park in the area in Iléo Parc Aquatique, it is also the gateway to the famous Fort Boyard, a former Napoleonic prison fort now home to the eponymous television game show. However, it was the family’s trip to the medieval city of La Rochelle which remains my favourite excursion of the holiday, meandering through the beautifully preserved historic port and its “old districts”. The maze of pedestrianised streets are flanked by stunning 17th and 18th century buildings that are now largely home to boutique shops. The sumptuous holiday homes on site are lovely to return to after a day out, or even if you’ve just been at the pool all day. As well as having a brand new feel to them, they are fitted with all mod cons, including a full gas cooker, fridge/freezer, microwave and barbecue, so you really can cater for yourselves with ease. Our double bedroom was not only spacious, it had a walk-in wardrobe, too. My daughters had plenty of space with their single rooms, while the shower room took the brunt of the make-up and suntan lotions. Goodness knows how we’d have got that lot on a plane! As always with these trips to France, my very favourite part is the evenings. Most of the homes at the four-star Les Charmettes come with raised wooden verandas, which are just perfect for sitting out for an evening meal, playing board games with the kids and watching the sun go down with a glass or two of the local pineau – a rather pleasant fortified wine made from grape juice and one-year-old Cognac. Santé!

Flowers ordered for birthday bash Bristol’s floating nightspot The Thekla is turning 30 and to celebrate, a mini-festival has been organised with a line-up including Gravenhurst, Rozi Plain, Dub Mafia, Zen Hussies and Bristol’s own The Ramona Flowers, writes Mark Taylor

his weekend marks an important milestone for the Bristol music scene when the Thekla celebrates its 30th birthday. The iconic floating venue moored in the city’s harbour has played host to thousands of bands over the past three decades and it has been an important launch pad for many stars of the future. Pete Doherty, Franz Ferdinand and Roni Size are among some of the names to play the venue before hitting the big time. Over the course of this weekend, Thekla celebrates its 30th anniversary with a party spread across three nights featuring a number of bands and a few unannounced “surprise guests”. The line-up includes Gravenhurst, Rozi Plain, Dub Mafia, Zen Hussies, The Other Tribe and Seasfife. Also appearing is up-and-coming Bristol band The Ramona Flowers, who recently released their new single, Tokyo, and completed a European tour supporting Bombay Bicycle Club. Likened to Muse, Kasabian and The xx, The Ramona Flowers have already been tipped for great things by a number of music critics including The Guardian’s reviewer, who said “hugeness may be imminent”. The band was formed by Bristol college friends Sam James (guitar), Wayne Jones (bass) and Dave Betts (keyboards and guitar), who recruited singer Steve Bird and drummer Ed Gallimore to complete the five-piece. “We just threw around different ideas,” remembers Steve of the early rehearsals. “Then we all found common ground. We loved a lot of emotional music, electronic music and dirty upbeat music, so we wanted to try and put it all together.” As they did, they took a leap of faith and mailed a CD to one of their musical heroes. The Ramona Flowers particularly admire Andy Barlow of Manchester electronica duo Lamb, for his painstaking productions and exquisite use of texture. “He’s a genius,” smiles Sam. “I’ve always been a massive Lamb fan. His music just blows me away.” Realistically, they didn’t expect to

hear back, so were amazed when Barlow got in touch and offered to produce them. Barlow then surprised everyone again when he suggested the Ramona Flowers support Lamb on tour. Not in the UK venues they may have expected, but in obscure outposts in Poland, Finland, Lithuania and Latvia, involving exhausting 18-hour ferry journeys through the (literally) frozen Baltic seas. “We were so cold, we were literally shaking,” laughs James. “And then we played a venue in Poland that was six storeys underground. It was a weird start to our band, but it brought us all together.” The foreign jaunt also meant they could develop away from the glare of the UK media, a bit like they have been able to do in Bristol, where their gigs have been selective. The Ramona Flowers don’t have the archetypal “Bristol sound” (although their electronics do bear the faint imprint of dub and drum and bass) but developing at their own pace in the city and doing several gigs at the Louisiana has enabled them to grow under the radar. After tours with Bastille and Bombay Bicycle Club, The Ramona Flowers are preparing for the release of their debut album. In the meantime, they say they are flattered to be playing as part of the Thekla’s birthday party. “Being a Bristol band it’s a great honour to be chosen to play such an iconic local venue for their 30th birthday celebrations,” says Sam. “We can’t wait to play, and they have a great line-up as well, so it’s going to be an amazing night and a good party. “The Thekla is a great venue, it feels really intimate, especially with the gallery above you looking down, and the atmosphere is amazing. “It’s always a little strange knowing you’re playing inside a boat and it’s definitely unique. “One word of advice to bands playing there though, is do not pack your gear up outside on the quay; it’s not good when you see your pedal case floating down the docks.” ■ See listings for details.

JONNY BRUCE TRIBUTE TO THE TRUMPET KINGS BE-BOP CLUB

wider, taking in pop, jazz, reggae and psychedelia. Since late Eighties singles Eye Know and Me Myself and I, De La Soul have continued to garner awards, including a Grammy in 2006 for their collaboration with Gorillaz on the single Feel Good Inc. A quarter of a century on from the initial release of their seminal debut album, De La Soul are back to remind us that three is still the Magic Number.

orking as both a soloist and a lead player in a variety of musical contexts, Bristolbased trumpet player Jonny Bruce has received much critical acclaim over the past few years. His command over the instrument has made him a very versatile and in-demand musician. His exuberant trumpet playing has become an essential feature of Bristol’s music scene over the past few years, bringing excitement to bands of every style. Many will have seen him playing the part of Harry James in the Bruce Ilett Big Band, and his latest project, Tribute to the Trumpet Kings, takes that idea one step further, with Bruce presenting a chronological history of jazz trumpet, starting with Louis Armstrong, passing the plunger styles of Bubba Miley and Cootie Williams through to the Be-Bop era of Dizzy Gillespie and beyond. He is joined by an all-star team featuring Ben Waghorn (saxes and clarinet), Denny Ilett (guitar), Mike Willox (piano), Dave Guy (bass) and Andy Hague (drums).

DE LA SOUL O2 ACADEMY

idely considered a hip-hop masterpiece, New York trio De La Soul’s debut album, 3 Feet High And Rising, was hailed on its 1989 release as the future of the genre. A colourful burst of neo-psychedelic samples and playful wordplay, plus the trio’s trademark witty skits and lyrics, the album sounded like nothing else in hip-hop. De La Soul eschewed the obvious influences of old-school rap or funk and spread their net

JUDIE TZUKE ST GEORGE’S BRISTOL

inger-songwriter Judie Tzuke first came to national prominence when she appeared on Top of The Pops three times with her 1979 single Stay With Me Till Dawn, which was released on Elton John’s Rocket label. Although the single reached only number 16 in the UK charts, it is still played regularly on the radio and frequently crops up in lists of all-time most popular songs. After her debut album, Welcome to the Cruise, Tzuke went on to

become the support act on Elton John’s three-month 1980 North American tour, including an appearance in front of a staggering 450,000 people in New York’s Central Park. Since then, Tzuke hasn’t stopped recording or touring, her music gradually acquiring a lighter, jazzier sound over the years. She’s now back on the road with her Woman Overboard tour. ■ Tuesday, May 6. See listings for details.

While Brisfest is taking a year off, the city offers plenty of great options this year, with everything from Love Saves The Day and Tokyo Dub to ArcTanGent offering killer line-ups temptingly close to home. Meanwhile, a team of party promoters based in Bristol have made it their mission to bring the festival experience out of the fields and into the clubs. Bambi Legs – tagline “music to make you weak at the knees” – launched in 2010, offering mixed line-ups of live music and DJs, plus art, food and walkabout performers, including singers, magicians and a fortune teller. In the promoters’ own words, the goal was to create an environment “where people can fully break their minds away from the stress of the concrete jungle we are living in”.

their vision to the next level. Thumper – a co-production with London party crew TruSoundTribe – looks like being a genuine extravaganza, bringing wild décor, arcade amusements, a café and mini-cinema to the gothic splendour of the recently redeveloped Trinity Centre. Headliners are veteran UK garage duo Oxide and Neutrino, best remembered for their 2000 smash Bound 4 Da Reload, which was based around a craftily employed sample of the theme from Casualty. They’re joined by a raft of festival and club scene favourites, including ska fusion band Fat Sandwich, jungle revivalist Aries, mashup king Flash Harry and underground reggae artists Papa B and Zico. ■ Trinity Centre, Trinity Road, Bristol on Saturday, May 3, 10pm-6am, £12 advance, http://www.bambilegs.co.uk.

The focus is on music written pretty much between the deaths of Bach and Schubert – a mix of off-piste rarities by the likes of Jadin and Wraniski, anniversary CPE Bach, and evergreens such as Schubert’s sublime String Quintet in C. Mornings are child friendly with a little puppet-making, and the whole Olympiad is bookended by Mozart (who’s never far away).

Starring role for Efron’s torso

s a long-running Antipodean soap opera repeatedly reminds us: “Everybody needs good neighbours with a little understanding”. The married 30-somethings at the centre of Nicholas Stoller’s potty-mouthed comedy wish they were so fortunate. They wake one morning to discover the new neighbours are booze-guzzling fraternity boys, who throw raucous parties for their fellow students and hold barbecues on the front lawn. Relations between the two households deteriorate in the blink of a bloodshot eye, lighting the fuse on a battle of wits and mean-spirited pranks that provides Bad Neighbours with its flimsy premise. Seth Rogen might have top billing on the film’s posters but it’s Zac Efron’s naked torso which scene-steals to the point of absurdity, reaching a delirious crescendo with some gratuitous topless modelling by the High School Musical heartthrob during a touchy feely coda. In the spirit of gender equality, the script warrants a topless scene from leading lady Rose Byrne for a protracted gross-out gag about her first-time mother urgently needing to express breast milk to ease the pressure in her swollen lady cushions. “Be a man and milk me!” she barks. Lactose-intolerant audiences should avert their gaze.

Mac Radner (Rogen) and his wife Kelly (Byrne) have just welcomed a beautiful daughter into the world and struggle to cope with the responsibilities of parenthood. When the house next door goes up for sale and a fraternity led by president Teddy Sanders (Efron) and second-in-command Pete (Dave Franco) moves in, the Radners fear the worst. They pay a visit to the new neighbours and politely ask Teddy to keep the noise down. In return, the couple promise not to call the cops at the first sign of trouble but to approach Teddy to resolve any issues. During a party, Mac and Kelly break their promise and dial 911. A neighbourhood cop (Hannibal Buress) turns up at the fraternity’s front door. Teddy is incensed and masterminds a suitable punishment for the Radners’ betrayal. In retaliation, Mac and Kelly plot ways to force the dean, Carol Gladstone (Lisa Kudrow), to evict the students from their once peaceful community. Bad Neighbours goes some way to besmirching Efron’s screen image as the wholesome, squeaky clean boy next door. Rogen has played a pot-smoking dude before and he gamely sheds his clothes for toe-curling scenes of coitus interruptus with Byrne. Scenes inside the frat house, where Pete inspires devotion from pledges with a heartfelt speech are surprisingly tame despite the 15 certificate.

BAD NEIGHBOURS (15, 97 mins). Starring Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, Rose Byrne, Dave Franco, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Lisa Kudrow.

VERDICT: Naked torsos, from the leading men and ladies, plus plenty of mean-spirited pranks and foul-mouthed one-liners – yet it’s all surprisingly tame given the 15 certificate.

British director Paul WS Anderson embraces the hoary cliches of the disaster movie with this unintentionally amusing swords and sandals epic set in the shadow of a grumbling Mount Vesuvius. Kiefer Sutherland plays murderous Roman senator Corvus amid action scenes that are both thrilling and hilariously preposterous. Score ★★✩✩✩

Modern spin on jungle classic fails to impress

TARZAN 3D (PG, 99 mins) Featuring the voices of Kellan Lutz and Spencer Locke.

VERDICT: Tarzan is a slick yet unsatisfying reworking that struggles to marry the legend with a perplexing subtext about mankind’s unsustainable depletion of the Earth’s resources.

Score ★★✩✩✩

44 S E E I T ● ● ● ● ●

ince his debut on the pages of a 1912 magazine, Edgar Rice Burroughs’s fictional ape man has swung into the affections of successive generations thanks to re-imaginings on the small and big screens. Former Olympic swimmer Johnny Weissmuller famously portrayed the heroic king of the jungle during the 1930s and 1940s flanked by his plucky chimpanzee sidekick, Cheeta. And most recently, Disney immortalised the literary myth as an animation feature, a short-lived Broadway musical, spin-off TV series and video games. Now it falls to German filmmaker Reinhard Klooss to put a distinctly modern spin on Burroughs’s source text. Don’t be misled by the colourful visuals of this computer-animated adventure and early scenes of comical monkey business. This adaptation isn’t a cutesy caper aimed predominantly at children. Tragedy stalks every frame and a couple of sequences, which result in the demise of pivotal characters, could be too scary for the very young. To enforce the film’s modern sensibilities, a rousing burst of Coldplay’s anthem Paradise accompanies Tarzan and Jane’s romantic swim, replete with longing glances as the protagonists splash about in the water. John Greystoke (voiced by Mark Deklin) ventures deep into the jungle with his wife Alice (Jaime Ray Newman) and their young son to search for the impact site of an ancient

from Friday, May 2, 2014

meteorite, which is rumoured to possess immense power. By chance, as the Greystokes leave the jungle in their helicopter, they stumble upon the meteorite, but magnetic interference propels the craft into the mountainside, killing everyone on board except the young Greystoke heir. The child is rescued and raised by apes and is re-Christened Tarzan. As an adult, Tarzan (now voiced by Kellan Lutz) encounters humans once again when beautiful environmentalist Jane Porter (Spencer Locke) arrives in the jungle with William Clayton (Trevor St John), the Machiavellian new CEO of Greystoke Energies. He also seeks the elusive meteorite and its limitless power and hopes that Jane’s father, Jim (Les Bubb), will help him. “That’s a very pretty daughter you’ve got there. We wouldn’t want anything to happen to her, would we?” snarls Clayton. Lutz beats his chest on cue to deliver his hero’s iconic cry and stilted dialogue including, “Me Tarzan, you Jane”. Locke essays a spunky heroine, but she’s poorly served by the flimsy script, while St John’s pantomime villain encourages the audience to hiss and boo his every underhand move. The introduction of the mysterious meteorite to the jungle is an unwelcome distraction that draws parallels with the extra-terrestrial mumbo jumbo in the fourth Indiana Jones film. An unhappy marriage of something old, something new that leaves us feeling blue.

PICK OF THE WEEK: Banksy: The Room In The Elephant, Thursday, May 8, to Saturday, May 10, Tobacco Factory Theatres. See listings for details.

46 S E E I T ● ● ● ● ●

from Friday, May 2, 2014

The Banksy effect on stage and screen A play about a Bristolian and written by a Bristolian is coming home after a highly successful national tour. Natalie Banyard reports.

reated during Tobacco Factory Theatre’s A Play A Pie And A Pint series in 2012, Banksy: The Room In The Elephant returns home to Bristol next week following a phenomenally successful national tour. Bristol’s internationally famed guerrilla artist Bansky has become as synonymous with his home city as Brunel’s Suspension Bridge or Aardman’s Wallace and Gromit. In recent weeks, a row over the ownership of a new Banksy work removed from a Bristol street by the leader of Broad Plain Boys Club has made headlines around the world, such is the mania surrounding the shadowy street artist. Back in 2011, Did Banksy’s latest work bring misery to a homeless man? was the headline that inspired Bristol writer Tom Wainwright and Fringe First-winning director Emma Callander to create Banksy: The Room In The Elephant. Banksy was in LA for the Oscars when he sprayed THIS LOOKS A BIT LIKE AN ELEPHANT on to an old water tank. He had a point, too: it did look a bit like an elephant. To one man, however, it looked like home. The tank was home to long-term vagrant, former street performer and local legend, Tachowa Covington, who, over seven years, had furnished it with carpets, a stove and even CCTV. As news spread of Banksy’s latest work, a consortium of art dealers repossessed the water tank. Suddenly, Tachowa was homeless again. Gary Beadle, best known as EastEnders’ Paul Trueman as well as for acclaimed roles in the Royal Court’s Sucker Punch and Chichester Festival Theatre’s Blue Remembered Hills, gives a superb performance in this story about creating something from nothing and then having it taken away in the name of art. This play questions who has the right to

call someone’s home a work of art, or – for that matter – turn someone’s life into a piece of theatre. Tom Wainwright recalls: “In the summer of 2012, Emma Callander called me and asked me if I wanted to write a play about a guy who was evicted from the home he’d made himself in a disused water tank in LA after Banksy wrote something silly on the side of it. “I didn’t really. I thought there was something a bit grubby about ‘telling the story’ of a real person who had been dispossessed, when really what he wanted was to have his home and land returned to him – not have me write a play about him. “I still wrote it, mind. I assuaged my grubbiness by writing about it: that I was part of this land grab, not just for Tachowa’s property but his ‘story’. “I began to follow my nose into a giant can of worms, where truth and fiction lead each other on a merry little dance.” The production formed part of Tobacco Factory Theatre’s A Play A Pie And A Pint series and was an immediate hit. Now it returns home after an acclaimed sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe and a successful UK tour. For the very first time, Banksy: The Room In The Elephant will be followed by Something From Nothing, documentary maker Hal Samples’ short film about Tachowa’s experience with Banksy, edited from material gathered over the past seven years. Audiences have been delighted by the combination of Tom’s play juxtaposed with Hal’s new film. “It seems wonderfully appropriate that our imagined telling of Tachowa’s journey is now presented in tandem with the truth,” concludes Tom. “A fitting conclusion, perhaps, to this story.” Written by a Bristol playwright about a Bristol street artist and a pairing that is being premiered in a Bristol theatre: this is a real success story for the city and it’s thrilling that it’s coming home.

Theatre Don’t Miss

LET IT BE THE BRISTOL HIPPODROME

Beatles jukebox musical and West End hit, Let It Be is about as good as it gets for fans of the Fab Four. The spectacular theatrical concert showcases the music of the world’s most successful rock’n’roll band, charting the band’s meteoric rise from their humble beginnings in Liverpool’s Cavern Club, through the height of Beatlemania, to their later studio hits. Le It Be is packed with more than 40 of The Beatles’ greatest numbers performed live with terrific panache by the talented musicians. The

show features early tracks, including Twist And Shout and Drive My Car, as well as global mega-hits Yesterday and Hey Jude. But this is not just a tribute show. There’s newsreel footage projected on screens, including the hysterical teenage girls at the Shea Stadium concert, as well as set and costume changes reflecting The Beatles’ ever-changing sartorial style.

NOIR: A DICK PRIVET MYSTERY THE WARDROBE THEATRE

wenty-five years after its premiere, Max Stafford-Clark’s acclaimed revival of Timberlake Wertenbaker’s Our Country’s Good remains as wonderfully poignant and terrifyingly relevant as ever. Based on Thomas Keneally’s novel The Playmaker, Our Country’s Good is the true story of a ragbag cast of convicts, who put on a play under the guidance of an earnest young marine officer, Ralph Clark. Highlighting the power of drama to change lives for the good, we see the barriers between captors and captives break down and they start to discover each other, both on stage and behind the scenes. Our Country’s Good premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in 1988 before transferring to the West End and Broadway, winning major awards on both sides of the Atlantic. This new production by the play’s original director has been hailed as a triumph and comes to Bristol Old Vic as part of an international tour.

ollowing the success of Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, Croon productions returns with another stylised, kitsch and immersive piece of puppetry theatre. A pastiche of film noir, Noir: A Dick Privet Mystery features rod marionettes inhabiting the streets of an American city in the late 1940s. As mist and steam rise from the sidewalks, private detective Dick Privet stares through his office window, waiting for a case. It soon comes in the form of a wealthy businessman desperate to find a missing person. But Dick discovers that he’s not the only one hunting for Jonny Volent – there’s more to this case than meets the eye. Dick soon becomes embroiled with nightclub singer and femme fatale, Lola Me-me, as the two of them witness a murder and try to out-fox the heavies. Then there is the mysterious man calling himself The Collector on their tail. Why does everyone want to find Jonny? What has The Collector paid for? Will Dick Privet solve the case? This clever, funny and entertaining puppet pastiche is a must-see.

Exceptional art right across the city

Follow Me, by Jeppe Hein, in the gardens of the Royal Fort House, Woodland Road. Picture: Jamie Woodley

PICK OF THE WEEK Bristol Art Weekender, Friday, May 2, to Monday, May 5, Arnolfini, Spike Island, RWA and elsewhere. See listings for details.

his bank holiday weekend sees an explosion of intriguing, adventurous visual art across Bristol. Under the banner of the first-ever Bristol Art Weekender you’ll find a wealth of open studios, talks, events, exhibitions and installations at venues around town, plus performance, sound, film, painting, sculpture and permanent public artworks. A mountain of intriguing art-related fare, in short – and it’s all free. The collaborative festival is produced by Bristol arts programmers Situations, in partnership with Bristol arts venues and producers, including Arnolfini, Spike Island (whose hugely popular annual open weekend forms part of the Weekender programme), the Royal West of England Academy, Antlers Gallery, Bristol City Council and others. Among the highlights, artist Annika Kahrs willfillthe13thcenturyLordMayor’sChapelon Park Street with more than 60 songbirds, which will be serenaded on the hour by a concert pianist. Elsewhere, at the former Old Woodside Press on Islington Road in Southville you’ll find a showcase of work by a broad church of Bristol

Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller, whose complex and brilliant exhibition English Magic is currently in situ at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, will deliver a Sunday lecture at the New Room, John Wesley’s Chapel in Broadmead, where he’ll challenge audiences to think about when and how art takes place. And Bristol arts programmers Hand In Glove present Surfacing, an exhibition of sculpture, installation,print and live performance by three emerging artists, at locations around Redcliffe Wharf, including the atmospheric Benjamin Perry Boathouse. There’s plenty of family fun in the mix too. Down on the Harbourside you’ll find a vintage mobile cinema designed specifically for children, while across town in Lockleaze there will be a community bake and programme of live music, sports and demonstration bakes in a temporary pavilion in Lockleaze. With 16 arts organisations and 130 artists, it all makes for an impressive feat of co-ordination.

from Friday, May 2, 2014

So how did this all come about? “There is a renewed energy among Bristol’s visual arts community,” explains BAW director Claire Doherty. “Bristol is stealing a march on other major cities – it’s become the place to do things differently, and the visual arts are no exception. The city has always had a very strong artist community, but it’s only recently that the galleries, museums, arts producers and artist groups have begun to see how we could work together. “There’s a watershed moment in the growth of a successful city, where arts venues’ concerns about protecting their territory give way to a larger vision. We saw it in Glasgow in the 1990s and in Liverpool in 2008 [when the city was European Capital of Culture]. Now is Bristol’s time. Situations has brought home its international experience of producing collaborative events to light the spark of the Weekender – but it simply wouldn’t have taken flight had it not been for the talent and quality of the projects and programmes each of the partners has put forward. This is a real chance to experience some exceptional art across the city.”

ROAR! VIEW ART GALLERY

weekend: visitors are invited to wander in and chat to the artists about their creative practices, and maybe even pick up a piece of art straight from the source. It all kicks off this Friday evening with a preview from 6-9pm, followed by an opening-night party. The rest of the Open programme includes several mini-exhibitions around the building, a playful roaming performance by Spike resident Edwina Ashton, and screenings of short films for children at locations across town. Pop-up cafés around the building, meanwhile, will keep culture-imbibing visitors happily fuelled all weekend. ■ Saturday, May 3, to Monday, May 5. See listings for details.

SPIKE ISLAND OPEN 2014 SPIKE ISLAND

pike Island’s hugely popular annual open studios event returns over the May bank holiday, and this year it also forms part of the programme for the fine-looking Bristol Arts Weekender (see also Pick of the Week). Spike is home to more than 70 artists, as well as many other creative practitioners, including designers, film-makers, animators and photographers. It also houses its own print studio, while the University of the West of England’s fine art course is also based on site. A welter of creative activity, in short: and the Open event is the best opportunity you’ll get all year to sample all this artistic energy for yourself. Many of the artists open their studios over the

op artist Paul Oz returns to View after two sell-out appearances in group shows last year. Oz creates vast paintings inspired by some of the most awesome animals on Earth. He applies the paint very thickly – 2cm in places – to give his paintings a 3D effect, as if the animals are leaping out of the canvas at you. Alongside his dramatic animal paintings, the show will also feature Paul’s Skullptures – recreations of animal skulls, using an eclectic combination of materials, including metal from F1 cars. Pictured here is Senna, a replica of the skull of an American lion – the biggest cat ever to have lived, which died out some 11,000 years ago.

BRISTOL SAVAGES 104TH ANNUAL EXHIBITION THE WIGWAM, RED LODGE

ristol Savages, the prestigious and historic arts society that marks its 110th birthday this year, hosts its annual exhibition this month at its home, The Wigwam, in the grounds of The Red Lodge. You’ll find around 130 paintings by members (such as this by Terry Culpan, pictured), on view and on sale. Bristol Savages now numbers more than 400 members “concerned with the pursuit of the fine arts, painting, music, poetry, other performing arts and good fellowship”. Most of those who may call themselves a “Savage” are lay members and wear green lapel feathers. A smaller number are blue feather entertainers (singers, instrumentalists, raconteurs, magicians…) and even fewer belong to the red feather category, the artists. Each week from October to May, the artists come for a two-hour sketching session on a subject chosen on the evening by the chairman. When finished, the paintings are put on display for inspection. Entertainment is then provided by members. ■ Saturday, May 3, to Saturday, May 17. See listings for details.

Frank smartens up and delves into deeper topics

PICK OF THE WEEK Frank Skinner: Man in a Suit, Friday, May 2 & Saturday, May 3, Colston Hall, Bristol, 7.30pm, £29.56, 0844 887 1500, www.colstonhall.org.

recent Guardian review of Frank Skinner’s brand new show dubs the veteran Brum comic the “clown prince of laddism” – but also notes that Skinner has “smartened up his act” this time around, and not just via the sartorial elegance alluded to in the show’s name. Instead of Skinner’s customary earthy humour, his new show Man in a Suit looks to more sophisticated subject matters – including celebrity, homelessness and Japanese poetry. “The liveliest moments come when he’s just riffing with the crowd,” noted The Guardian’s reviewer, “enjoying their idiosyncrasies,

casually revealing what a quick-witted fun-lover he can be”. Skinner has Bristol links: he used to compere the Fleece & Firkin’s popular Castlemaine XXXX Comedy Club in the very early 1990s – a hugely popular, standing-room-only event pitched somewhere between a music gig and sports event. A while before that, Skinner began his career in stand-up following a “road to Damascus moment” visiting the Edinburgh Festival. His first gig followed in 1987 at the Birmingham Anglers Association, where, as he puts it, “I died on my arse”. Skinner was rewarded for his relentless

from Friday, May 2, 2014

dedication to the live circuit in 1991 when he won the prestigious Perrier Award, beating Jack Dee and Eddie Izzard to the gong. A few years later, Skinner and his Fantasy Football League partner David Baddiel famously recorded Three Lions with the Lightning Seeds for Euro ’96. More recently, he has reunited with Baddiel for several series of Baddiel and Skinner Unplanned: he now fronts the TV show Room 101, as well as hosting his own news chat show, Frank Skinner’s Opinionated. In these gigs, expect plenty of such opinions – plus some well-honed insights, plenty of sharp comedy and one very sharp suit.

ED BYRNE: ROARING FORTIES THE PLAYHOUSE, WESTON-SUPER-MARE ■ We’d definitely recommend the short trip to Weston’s elegant Playhouse Theatre for this: an evening with Ed Byrne, the shaggy-maned surrealist oft to be seen delivering his confused aperçus on life on Mock the Week and elsewhere. We were very impressed by our last view of Byrne, at Bristol’s Tobacco Factory: “A lot of wry self-deprecation and, rather like his compatriot Dylan Moran, it’s endearing, sharp, and always felicitously surreal in its choice of language,” we noted approvingly. “Very watchable and very likeable... a sharp, very no-frills comedian: you won’t see a guitar, a puppet or some shouty graphics anywhere near his set. He does befuddlement like almost no one else, and to spend a couple of hours in co-befuddlement with him is a delight.” Latest show Roaring Forties finds Byrne embracing middle age with open arms and discovering that life does, indeed, begin at 40.

THE NOISE NEXT DOOR THE LANTERN , COLSTON HALL ■ Colston Hall’s intimate second-string venue, The Lantern, welcomes this brilliant sketch comedy quintet, who use audience suggestions to create quick-fire songs, sketches and general silliness. Sketch and improvised comedy is a booming scene at the moment, with troupes such as Pappy’s and Idiots of Ants also making waves, but The Noise Next Door are probably the best in the country at this sort of thing, as witnessed by six sell-out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and regular headline slots at comedy and theatre festivals across the country.

The Noise’s off-the-cuff, in-the-moment improv skills are astounding. For a taster of their prodigious comic and musical talents, visit their website www.thenoisenextdoor.co.uk. Among the treats you’ll find is an extraordinary sequence created (as ever) in seconds, in which a tortoise-handling service is created – with none other than Her Majesty the Queen as handler-inchief. ■ The Noise Next Door Thursday, May 8, The Lantern, Colston Hall, Bristol, 8pm, £13.98. 0844 887 1500, www.colstonhall.org.

WHO IS TOM DITTO? DANNY WALLACE

Going green to create a healthier body

■Who is Tom Ditto? is the second novel from achingly charming author, journalist, presenter and all round good egg, Bath-born Danny Wallace. Tom is the mildly depressive early morning newsreader of a local London radio station. So far, so innocuous. Everything changes for our humdrum hero when he is suddenly abandoned by his long-term girlfriend, who – despite appearances – insists she has not left him and instructs Tom to go on with life as normal. Finding out how to do that sees Tom following strangers through the streets of the capital and peeking into the lives of others in a bid to answer his own questions. The novel is laugh-out-loud funny, an easy and yet artfully penetrating read. i Up v Xhkp

■ Who Is Tom Ditto? by Danny Wallace is published in hardback by Ebury Press, priced £12.99 (eBook £6.49).

BOOK OF THE WEEK: Fat Man to Green Man by Ira Rainey

rom Fat Man To Green Man is an intriguing, funny and sometimes poignant account of Bristol author Ira Rainey’s long-distance running experience to date and is named for the local race that forms the core subject – the Green Man Ultra, a 46-mile course around the Community Forest Path. It’s a story that has also earned him the silver award for running books at this year’s Running Awards, and a place on the short list in the New Writer of the Year category in The British Sports Book Awards. The book tells the story of how this lazy, overweight, junk-food eating, beer-swilling 40-something was jarred out of his unhealthy, apathetic cycle when a close friend was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Ira had enjoyed running for years prior to this. In fact, in 2005 he joined Bitton Road Runners, which turned out to have the single biggest impact on his running. He says: “I met a whole new group of perfectly normal like-minded people of all abilities; I ran more, trained better and raced harder. Over the years that followed I ran in countless 5k and 10k races, 15 half marathons and completed three marathons. I even actually enjoyed some of them. I had now become a proper runner.” But he was still fat; obese, in fact, at 16st 6lbs.

Suddenly, this delusional optimist who thought everything would always be just fine, realised he had a responsibility to himself and his family to look after his body. But having ticked the marathon box, he was after a new challenge – and he settled on The Green Man Ultra. So, from August 2012 to March 2013 Ira kept a record of every training run; the weather, who he was with, where they went – key details which formed a good chunk of the book. Ira finished the race in nine hours and 48 minutes. “When I crossed the line I was ecstatic and the sense of achievement was bonkers,” he says. But, although that’s the end of the book, it’s not the end of the story, since Ira intends to tackle the 95-mile Glasgow to Fort William West Highland Run at some point.

ECHO’S BONES SAMUEL BECKETT ■ “It is a nightmare... it gives me the jim-jams.” So wrote Charles Prentice, Samuel Beckett’s editor, upon receipt of this singular work. It was intended to conclude his collection of interrelated short stories More Pricks Than Kicks, but by comparison to those absurd, but essentially straightforward tales, Echo’s Bones truly is enough to give anyone the jim-jams. A triptych of surreal conversations between Belacqua Shuah, a dead man, and the people he encounters in a strange state of limbo, the text features no discernible narrative or logic, yet is nevertheless a fascinating stream of consciousness, so dense with word-play and literary allusion that the end-notes run longer than the story itself. It would certainly not make for the most accessible entry point for anyone new to Beckett’s work, but for scholars and aficionados, it is a must. i Rhtlz Zvipuzvu

WEEKEND 59

Property of the week

Glorious views across the Severn vale

he presence here of an extensive terraced patio and the hillside location means it’s possible to enjoy the rest of the lawned garden spread out below, but also the wider view across the Severn vale. Chertsey Cottage is one of a clutch of mostly period houses in the hamlet of Yate Rocks, nestled between Yate, Chipping Sodbury and Wickwar. Known as such due to its historical links with the local quarries, the hamlet is reached along a small lane. This house, on the market for £855,000 with Edison Ford (01454 316718), has remained in the same ownership for nearly 40 years, during which time it has been extended and improved. Briefly, accommodation comprises a kitchen/breakfast room, two reception rooms, five bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms. There is also an adjoining annex that includes a

60 S E E I T ● ● ● ● ●

living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Traditional in style, and with lots of wooden floors, exposed stone walls and ceiling timbers, the cottage has been decorated in pale and neutral colours. There are wooden cupboards and a Aga cooker in the kitchen, sliding patio doors that open to the terrace from the living room, and a brick fireplace with gas log-effect stove in the snug. Upstairs, the master bedroom has windows on two sides taking best advantage of that wonderful view. There’s also a range of fitted wardrobes and double doors opening to a shower room and dressing area. This shower room is also connected to another bedroom. The house is set in more than an acre of mature garden, with lots of trees and shrubs, plenty of space for parking, a summer house, which is currently used as a music room, and additional outbuildings.

Raised beds double as seats Gardening Ali Smith from Bristol-based Secret Garden Landscaping, sings the praises of raised beds, which can double as planters and seating areas

e all want to make the most of the space in our homes and that includes the back garden, whether it is a large piece of land or a small back yard. But no matter the size of the space, gardens usually have certain features in common, such as a place to sit and socialise, plants, an area for the kids and usually a shed. It’s just that the bigger the garden, the more spaced out these areas tend to be. A great way to save space is to have built-in raised beds with seating. We often build them with sleepers, or with blocks and render. Sleepers are relatively quick to install and can be sat on just as they are. We tend to lay the sleepers flat so there is more room to sit; with two sleeper beds like this facing each other, quite a few people can sit and chat even before you get the garden furniture out. This type of raised bed is really useful if you have a teenager in the family; it is a place they can relax with their friends in the safety of your back garden – without fear of them damaging the good furniture! Building a raised bed and seating with blocks and render is a lovely way of adding a feature to your garden. It looks contemporary and can be painted to suit your taste. Firstly, just like a wall, a good foundation is required. Next, we build up the courses of blocks. Usually we go for three blocks placed on their sides, giving a height of just over 2ft. Like sleepers, they can be laid flat, giving extra seating opportunities, but this can leave you with little space for planting and needs double the amount of blocks. Once the basic construction is complete, we add the beading and then the first coat of render, which we allow to set for a day before returning and applying the final coat, ensuring a smooth finish. It pays to put in the soil and compost at this point (before painting) as you don’t want a newly finished surface all splattered with mud.

One of the advantages of making raised beds with rendered blocks is that you can choose the colour. Most people go for white, but I like to use a bit of colour. Another advantage of raised beds is that you can make the soil up from scratch. A lot of gardens in Bristol have a clay-based soil that is slightly alkaline, so if you want to grow acid-loving plants, you can in a raised bed. By the way, plants needing an acidic soil should always be moistened with rain water as our tap water is also on the alkaline side of neutral.

Other plus points of raised beds are you don’t have to bend down to weed and plant; you can grow plants that need containing, like some bamboo; you have instant height and they are good for separating the seating area from other parts of the garden. They look really good, too.

Gary Barlow has had one of the most incredible stories in pop history, with a near-25-year career under his belt.

Corden also tags along as Gary surprises one of his own fans on their wedding day and even joins in band rehearsals. Gary says: “I’ve always felt older, and I’ve always felt, whether I was in the band or whatever situation I was in, I was the responsible one.” Featuring contributions from Elton John, Chris Evans, Robbie Williams, Gary’s mother and members of the press and music industry, this documentary sees one of the nation’s best-loved musicians shed light on the real story of his remarkable career.
