Panic on the streets of Bedfordshire Art After its outing last year at Dismaland, Jimmy Cauty brings his dystopian ‘model village’, The Aftermath Dislocation Principle, to Bristol’s Trinity Centre as part of a major UK tour, writes Tara Pardo

he city of Bristol has never witnessed such devastating scenes of destruction and chaos. Thankfully, it is on an incredibly small scale – 1:87 to be precise – and safely contained within a 40ft shipping container. This surreal model village experience is The Aftermath Dislocation Principle (ADP), a post-riot landscape created in miniature by acclaimed artist Jimmy Cauty – also known as co-creator of chart-topping band The KLF and its subsequent arts incarnation The K Foundation (which saw Jimmy and Bill Drummond famously burn a million pounds). Set somewhere in Bedfordshire, only the police and media teams remain in an otherwise deserted, wrecked and dislocated land, which is viewed through peepholes in the side of the container. Its construction from traditional (if somewhat subverted) model-making kits gives the work an instantly recognisable quality, despite the chaos and confusion. It is easy to understand, yet complicated. The origins of this piece lie in a series of works known as A Riot in a Jam Jar (L-13, 2011). Here Cauty constructed tiny scenes of a riotous nature inside upturned jam jars in which violence, humour and socio-political commentary vied for position in contained and domesticated bite-size portions. ADP was part of Banksy’s Dismaland last summer. There, visitors flowed around the installation, the “dismal” staff grumpily ordering them to keep moving and making sarcastic comments if they stopped; “no one’s ever taken a photo that good”, “if you’re standing still you’re doing it wrong”, “nothing to see here”... Now the installation has taken to the road, re-housed in a specially converted shipping container, to visit towns and cities across the country, at the sites of historic riots.

The ADP Riot Tour’s visit to Bristol sees it take up residence at the Trinity Centre near Trinity Road Police Station, which played a prominent role in the St Paul’s riots of 1980 and 1987, and saw black and white youth stand up to police harassment. Far from inciting another riot, the tour’s organisers hope the ADP experience will be a peaceful and thought-provoking one, with the only real disturbance being the constant chatter of miniature police radios, dotted all over the exhibit. Tara Pardo caught up with Jimmy ahead of ADP’s arrival in Bristol.

Many people will have seen ADP at Dismaland. How did your involvement with Dismaland come about and how did it feel to be part of it? With Dismaland, I felt anxious and excited in equal measure. Anxious because it was hard not telling anyone why I had to keep driving up and down the M4 in a hire van full of tools for three months. Excited because of the idea of a very large group of holiday makers interacting with the ADP for the first time. Did you get a chance to enjoy all of the other artists’ work there? Was there a highlight for you? I was mostly working when I was there or scoffing the free food in the crew canteen. David Shringley’s ‘‘I AM AN IMBECILE” balloons resonated with me. I was one of the lucky ones who managed to buy tickets to Dismaland. I really felt like I needed more time with ADP (although the staff moving us along added to the atmosphere). Will we be able to take our time and get a longer look when ADP comes to Bristol? Yes. You can take as long as you like to view the

➤➤➤ ADP in Bristol – within reason. If the invigilators or security teams think you are behaving suspiciously they will call the police. Unless it’s lunch time when the police station is closed. ADP is on a huge scale compared to your Riot in a Jam Jar works. What made you want to take on such a massive and time-consuming undertaking? I like to embark on projects that seem impossible or stupid. I’m not worried about spending a lot of time working on details. Did you find yourself completely consumed by it and envisioning riot scenarios everywhere you looked? Yes. The other workers and I were all consumed by this during the construction. We worked in a basement workshop, so the outside world seemed very big and detailed after a while. Most of the nine months it took us to make the ADP was taken up with creating the landscape in which the narrative could happen. I didn’t make it

then smash it up. I made it smashed in the first place. I found it slightly unsettling and full of darkness but also lots of humour. What’s the overall thinking behind it? It’s an observation of an unexpected outcome when the police take control of a town. How has ADP changed since we last saw it? (I understand we’ll be peeping this time!) The whole cityscape has been re-shaped and de-developed to fit it into a container. The model was 8ft wide. The inside of a shipping container is 7’ 6’’. I have repositioned all police to line up with the observation ports that are all around the outside of the container. I hear you invited police officers from the Met to have a look. What did they make of it? We had a Met day at the last showing of the ADP in London. We invited the police to come and investigate a massive civil disturbance. A couple of

van loads turned up on the day, alerted to the event by Twitter, which has apparently become the preferred mode of communication amongst constables after whistle blowing went out of style. Once they were sure a crime was not in progress, they seemed excited to see so many police cars all in one place. Will you be accompanying the work on tour? I will be around from time to time performing maintenance and answering questions. Finally, what made you choose Bristol as a stop on the tour? We chose Bristol as a start point for the tour because the city has a long history of civil disobedience in the face of injustice, going back many hundreds of years. The proximity of the Trinity Centre to the Trinity Road Police Station forms an ironic and fitting backdrop for the ADP. ■ The Aftermath Dislocation Principle Riot Tour is at Trinity Centre, Bristol, from Friday, April 29 to Monday, May 9.

‘I’ve created a bold, brave and ballsy show’ EXCLUSIVE As he prepares to return ‘home’ to Bristol for a farewell show, Natalie Banyard bags an exclusive chat with the modern master of mind control, Derren Brown

triding on stage dressed in black with an air of inscrutability, reigning master of psychological illusion Derren Brown is a man of mystery and a dark manipulator of magic. So it’s with some trepidation that I interview the maestro of mind control – will he brainwash me into taking part in a heist? Or do a David Blaine and give me the silent treatment? In fact, the former Bristol University student is witty, self-effacing and charming and he’s delighted to be “coming home” to the city where he first began to pursue his electrifying career in magic. Back by phenomenal demand, the multi-award winning master of psychological illusion returns with his most daring show yet, Derren Brown: Miracle. Playing The Bristol Hippodrome from May 9 to 14, Derren promises to deliver another evening of mind-altering genius. Of course, there’s plenty of awe-inspiring, captivating magic, but the show goes beyond the realm of pure entertainment and ventures into an insight of a genius’s brain. “It’s more of a philosophical one than previous shows,” says the Croydon-born showman. “Without getting too much into the content, this is the first show that is about things I find important. Others have had autobiographical bits in them, some more authentic than others, but this one is about things I find important. It has a philosophical underpinning I really care about. It’s ultimately, I suppose, about what makes us happier.” The show’s ten-week West End run was greeted with universal acclaim by fans and critics alike. “The response has been fantastic and that has been the payoff of creating such a bold, brave and ballsy show,” says Derren, who has always insisted he has no psychic abilities and relies entirely on the powers of perception. “I’ve pushed the boundaries and I think it’s pretty special.” This jaw-dropping spectacle will be – I’m sorry to tell you – the last chance to see the master at work in the UK for the foreseeable future. So grab those tickets while you can. Derren explains: “I’ve been doing this for 14

years, bringing a brand new show out every two years, and as much as I love it I need to take a break. That pressure of writing a show, working it in and then touring is pretty intense.” But although this will be his last tour on these shores for a while, Derren has succumbed to the bright lights of Broadway. “I’ve only ever wanted to do what’s enjoyable, and a couple of months – or whatever it will be – in New York, performing for people who don’t really know me, sounds like huge fun.” But before Broadway, he’s heading to Bristol. Derren has often spoken about his affection for the city, where he lived for over a decade. In fact, Derren says it was while studying law and German at Bristol University that he first fell in love with the art of illusion. “I saw a hypnotist doing a show at the student union and just loved it,” he tells me. “I decided that night that I wanted to do it myself. I carried on studying but started to learn the techniques of magic and mind control.” After graduating, Derren abandoned a career in law and concentrated on developing his skills at psychological magic. He was able to pay the bills by combining performing in cafés and bars with a sideline in portraiture. “By the time I graduated I was doing hypnosis shows and close up magic at student venues and places like Byzantium up by St Mary Redcliffe, on The Glass Boat in Welsh Back and The Blue Goose out on Gloucester Road. “It was a long process. I was doing gigs in Bristol throughout my degree and for ten years after graduating. Then I got the call from a TV production company who had heard about me and it all went from there.” Derren Brown: Mind Control aired on Channel 4 in 2000 and proved an immediate success. Today he’s a global star thanks to his ratingswinning appearances on the small screen and sell-out theatrical tours. His Mind Control, Trick of the Mind and Trick or Treat TV series saw his following grow into the millions and his extraordinary specials for Channel 4, which include Russian Roulette, The Heist, Apocalypse and The Great Art Robbery, have provoked much debate and consolidated his reputation as a performer prepared to constantly challenge and break down boundaries.

In his varied and notorious career he has played Russian roulette live, convinced middle-managers to commit an armed robbery in the street, hypnotised a man into assassinating Stephen Fry and trained four OAPs to steal a valuable painting. He is also banned from every casino in the country. Derren’s live shows are not only thrilling and enthralling, they are also a great way to see the master at work and dispel any suspicion that his TV feats are aided by trick photography, stooges or clever editing. He has also received much praise for his best-selling books, Derren Brown: Tricks of the Mind and Derren Brown: Confessions of a Conjuror. His third book, on the subject of happiness, is due for publication later this year. Such is his pull as a celebrity, Derren even has his own ghost train opening at Thorpe Park next month! “I hope it’ll scare and delight in equal measure,” laughs Derren. “It’s been a huge project and an extraordinary opportunity to have fun with the latest technology and let my imagination run wild. This will be nothing like any other ghost train!” Unsurprisingly, tickets to see Derren in Bristol are selling out fast and the star is looking forward to it as much as his audience. “I love Bristol and can’t wait to play there,” he tells me earnestly. “When I started uni I lived on Caledonia Place in Clifton Village. Ten years after graduation I was still there and still paying student rates! “I lived there with my pals and we did it all up. It was great. “Living near the Clifton Suspension Bridge was phenomenal. I used to sit in a cave on the Leigh Woods side, light a fire and readNietzsche – that’s the sort of insufferable prick I was! “I also used to spend a lot of time wandering around Ashton Court dreaming up magic tricks. It was a lovely time. “I come back when I can to get my Bristol fix. I feel very nostalgic about the place and I can’t wait to perform at the Hippodrome again.” ■ Derren Brown: Miracle at The Bristol Hippodrome from Monday, May 9 to Saturday, May 14.

Bringing people together through a love of folk Music Craig Jones finds out what’s in store at this weekend’s Bristol Folk Festival

ig acts and established artists will be taking over the city for this weekend’s Bristol Folk Festival. St George’s, Bristol Folk House and Bristol Ram are set to host the festivities which will run tomorrow and Sunday. The annual, not-for-profit, social enterprise will welcome some hugely popular folk acts including Gigspanner, Hannah Martin and Phillip Henry, Josienne Clarke and Ben Walker, Tradarr and many others. “There’s the usual last-minute tweaks that need sorting as you would expect but we are in a good place – I think,” jokes Jan Ayers, one of the festival’s organisers. “The event is so popular because it is seen as the recognised big May Day weekend festival.” Jan explains that after a break, Bristol Folk Festival was revived in its current format in 2010. In that time, the event has continued to go from strength to strength, much to the delight of organisers. Jan says: “As popular as the event is with people in the city, we also have many, many people who travel far and wide to support the festivities. “That is great as we like to think we are contributing to helping put Bristol on the map and promoting the good things which are happening in the city.” The festival also has some great venues. In St George’s visitors will get to enjoy music in a world-renowned concert hall. The former church, based just off Park Street, will be hosting Gadarene, 9Bach and Worry Dolls on the Saturday of the event. While on Sunday, the venue welcomes India Eclectic Co, The Barnacle Bouys and Cooper and Toller with many more set to perform there over the two days. Bristol Folk House, also based off Park Street, is understandably synonymous with the genre hosting countless gigs throughout the year. It provides a great platform for established acts and those looking for exposure. A new addition for this year is that Bristol Ram will be taking part in the festival’s session programme. This encourages musicians of all abilities to go forward and take part in a jam or two. On Saturday there’ll be a session between 2pm

and 5pm, while on Sunday they’ll be another session between 2pm and 5pm, followed by another, focusing on Irish music, from 8pm. The popular pub has two rooms assigned for the events so it’s highly possible they’ll be two music jams taking place at Bristol Ram at those times. Jan explains: “This year, we have added Bristol Ram as our base for our sessions. Everyone is welcome there, bringing an instrument or just their voice, to take part. “It should make for quite a fun atmosphere and it is something which we are very excited about.” Another treat for revellers is a workshop taking place at St George’s at 4pm on Sunday. Ange Hardy and Lukas Drinkwater will be hosting the songwriting event. In this 45-minute workshop Ange and Lukas will discuss the writing process behind some of their songs, including practical tips and advice on using online resources. They will discuss the different approaches used when starting work on a new song, and talk about the interview question they get asked the most, “what comes first, the melody or the lyrics?” They will also look at song structures and inspirations, instrument choices, and start workshop attendees on the path of writing a new song together. An undoubted highlight of the festival is the Morris dance performances which are being held on both days. On Sunday, teams including Bristol Morris Men, Rag Morris and City Clickers, among others, will be meeting at Brandon Hill to perform and bring in the sunrise. Jan says: “I’m a big fan of all the Morris events which we host. For me, it is the highlight of the festival and a real spectacle. “It is something which so many people are sure to enjoy.” Overall, the organisers expect the festival to be bigger and better than ever. Jan says: “Bristol Folk Festival brings so many people together through a love of music. I think it is such a great event to promote the city and its love of music also.” ■ To see the full line-up and event information visit www.bristolfolkfestival.co.uk/dance.

Good value pit-stop at new dockside hot-spot

An enjoyable and good-value pitstop in a historic corner of Bristol’s harbourside.

Food ★★★✩✩ Service ★★★✩✩ Ambience ★★★✩✩ 18 EAT IT ● ● ● ● ●

alking towards Underfall Yard, past the chandlers and boatyards of Spike Island, The Matthew sails past me and it’s a fitting reminder that Bristol’s docks are still very much alive and kicking. The commercial cargo ships may be long gone, but Bristol Harbourside is still very much a buzzing community in its own right, as well as a must-visit tourist attraction. There is no better place to relive the history of the thriving docks than Underfall Yard, which has recently opened up to the public with a visitors’ centre. A cluster of Victorian buildings once used by Brunel himself, including the landmark octagonal red-brick chimney of the hydraulic engine house, this is a fascinating corner of the docks. Walking through the yard, there is still a sense of the past as people build and repair boats. The quayside is a carpet of wood shavings, the air heavy with the smell of timber and primer, and the sounds of hammering and sanding. Run by a team of volunteers in green boiler suits, the restored Pump Room and Sluice Room are a fitting tribute to the engineers who shaped Bristol’s dock, among them Brunel, Joseph Green, William Jessop and Thomas Howard. When I arrive, volunteers are explaining to a group of tourists and kids how Brunel’s Victorian-built sluices stop the floating harbour from filling up and how the water levels are

maintained between Underfall Yard and Netham Weir. It’s a fascinating story and this new dockside attraction is sure to become one of the most popular spots this summer. Of course, a decent visitors’ centre needs a quality café and that’s where Pickle comes in. With two busy mobile trucks in Redcliffe, Pickle knows a thing or two about catering for the masses and its first indoor operation fits perfectly with Underfall Yard. In the sluice room, next to the Human Accumulator exhibit, this small café (it’s basically two high tables next to the serving hatch and counter) occupies a unique position beneath the skylights, magnificent round windows, steel girders and pulleys. Open Wednesday to Sunday (Monday and Tuesday openings will follow), Pickle serves breakfast rolls, porridge and granola pots, jacket potatoes and daily-changing lunchtime sandwiches listed on the blackboard propped up on the counter. These might include Brunel’s Bacon (poached chicken, maple bacon, chilli mayo, rocket, cucumber, tomato and pickles) or a steak and egg roll. I went for The Big fish (£4.50) – a jaw-splitting toasted ciabatta roll filled with tuna, Cheddar, lemon mayo, homemade slaw (grated carrot and red cabbage), sliced gherkins, capers and cucumber. To follow, a crumbly, not-too-sweet peanut butter and dark chocolate flapjack (£2.40) washed down with a well-made flat white coffee.

There were two from excellent Buckinghamshire brewery XT – the Guinness-like XT10 stout and the English IPA XT15 – and Wye Valley Hereford Pale Ale. What is most striking about the six ales on tap isn’t just the quality of the beer, but the prices. At a time when many pubs are charging between £4 and £5 a pint, it’s refreshing to walk into a place with a flat price of £3.50 a pint. And that price also refers to the ciders – the medium-dry Ashton Still and a trio of Gwatkin

Italian favourites on offer before curtain-up

ith Oscar-winning actor Jeremy Irons treading the boards at the Old Vic and Mamma Mia! packing them in at the Hippodrome, it has been a great month for Bristol restaurants serving pre-theatre meals. Set-price menus executed efficiently enough for people to enjoy two (or maybe three) courses between leaving the office and settling into their seats for 7.30pm curtain-up can be a useful extra revenue stream for restaurants located close to busy theatres. As a restaurant manager, if you can attract 20 or 30 diners to your restaurant before 7pm, you have time to wipe down the tables, adjust your tie and comb your hair in readiness for the first arrivals of the “proper” evening service, safe in the knowledge that you’ve already got money in the till. I didn’t even know Aquila served a pre-theatre menu until last week, when I was heading to a show on a Monday evening and in urgent need of a quick refuel at 6pm. The pre-theatre offer at this glamorous Baldwin Street Italian runs from 3pm until 6.30pm and costs £14.95 for two courses (or three for £17.95). It also coincides with two-for-one cocktails, if you really want to guarantee a heavy sleep before the show’s half-time interval. By the time I arrived, most of the pre-theatre crowd (I think they were all heading to Mamma Mia!) were well on their way to finishing their main courses and calling for the bill. Most of them were dressed to the nines, with post-work dads still in their suits and ties and mums and daughters in sparkly dresses. Against the backdrop of mirrored walls, cream leather seating and flickering candles, they all put me to shame in my gig uniform of black Levi’s and Converse trainers. Although owned by Bristolians, Aquila is 100 per cent Italian when it comes to service and food and there is a genuine buzz as waiting staff

rush around chatting to each other in their mother tongue. In the background, Seventies and Eighties pop (think Walking On The Moon by The Police and Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now) segued into Nessun Dorma as a huddle of waiters and waitresses sang Happy Birthday to one diner, complete with a celebratory cake and candles. The pre-theatre menu offers three starters, three main courses and three pizzas, plus a trio of desserts. I started with the calamari fritti, served on a piece of slate with a wedge of lemon and blobs of lemony mayonnaise. Considering it was part of a set-price menu, it was a generous portion with at least a dozen crisp and greaseless pieces of lightly battered squid of varying shapes, sizes and tentacles, rather than the usual uniform battered rings. To follow, a full-size Americana pizza was a tad floppy – the runny mozzarella would have benefited from a few more minutes in the oven as it was more milky puddles than brown-edged blisters – but there was plenty of spicy pepperoni.

CRAFT ALES AND MICROBREWERIES ON A BRISTOL BREWERY TOUR

t’s no secret that the Bristol beer scene is booming at the moment. Hosting names such as Arbor, Wiper & True and Bristol Beer Factory, it could even be the best place in the country for it right now. Therefore it’s about time someone offered us a flavour of what goes on behind the scenes. Luckily the newly launched Bristol Brewery Tours have arrived just on the cusp of summer – although, as we meet at noon on Millennium Square, it becomes apparent that this is much more than a usual walk around a taproom. The tour manages to charmingly utilise a touch of city life with the Bristol Ferry Company for some sampling, as the boat takes us up the harbour towards Moor Beer behind Temple Meads. It feels like a perfect combination as we sit in good company tasting two varied pale ales from the locally based Arbor. Upon arrival it’s a quick stroll through the industrial surroundings towards the brewery. Once inside tokens are dealt out and there’s the opportunity to try some beers directly from the source. The taproom features a wide mixture of cask and keg from which guests are given free choice over. A brewer then takes us inside and gives a detailed talk about the process which creates what we’ve been enjoying. It’s then back to The Beer Emporium on King Street where Duncan and Marco have the bar lined with beer flights for further sampling. By this point in the day it’s apparent that friendships have been made and information gained. Whether or not it will be remembered by the weary heads the day after remains to be seen. Ultimately, it was a perfectly executed day that’s a testament to Bristol’s brilliant beer scene. ■ The next Bristol Brewery tours take place on Saturday, April 30, and Saturday, May 21, at 11.45am.

Pared-back approach to modern European food

ooking can be many different things but at London’s Ducksoup restaurant, it’s about using just a few simple seasonal ingredients and turning them into something more than the sum of their parts. That’s the refreshingly simple philosophy of co-owner Clare Lattin, who has just written the first Ducksoup cookbook with head chef Tom Hill, who started his career in Bristol. Located in the heart of Soho, Ducksoup opened in 2011 and it quickly gained a reputation for its delicious weekly-changing menu, which follows the seasons. A tiny restaurant where the music (vinyl played on an old record player) and wine (“natural” and additive-free) are equally as important as the food, Ducksoup is a neighbourhood restaurant where you can eat simple plates of exactly what you might want at any time of day. The Ducksoup Cookbook is packed with delicious favourites from the menu which features influences including the warm blue skies of Italy, spices and flower blossom of the Middle East, and the smoky earthiness of Scandinavia. It’s a pared-back approach to food that makes the recipes achievable at home, whether it’s mozzarella, borlotti and wild garlic green sauce; salt cod, tomato and olive oil; wild mushrooms, egg yolk and Parmesan; and peaches, raspberries and crème fraîche. Lattin says: “I suppose we have quite a magpie approach to cooking and draw on a palette of ingredients inspired by our travels. “We use the best ingredients from different places and because our style of cooking is so free, these recipes are very easily recreated at home. In short, it’s simple, humble cooking using minimal ingredients and lively flavour pairings.”

CRISPY LAMB, LABNEH, MINT, RED ONION AND POMEGRANATE SERVES 4 ■ 1 whole lamb breast, about 2kg, cut in half ■ 500ml lamb stock ■ 1 pomegranate ■ Extra-virgin olive oil ■ 1 teaspoon dried chilli flakes ■ Small handful of mint leaves ■ Small handful of flat-leaf parsley ■ 1 red onion, thinly sliced ■ Juice of 1 lemon ■ Chargrilled flatbread or toasted sourdough bread, to serve ■ Salt, freshly ground black pepper ■ 160g labneh (see below) Ducksoup Cookbook: The Wisdom of Simple Cooking by Clare Lattin and Tom Hill is published by Square Peg, £25

■ The combination of ingredients here makes a near perfect salad – there is just enough (but not too much) crispy meat to give the dish depth and that umami flavour, and pairing it with the cool labneh (salted and strained Greek yoghurt), fresh mint, onion and pomegranate seeds keeps the flavours clean and fresh. Lamb breast is a great, cheap cut but you can also use any leftover lamb shoulder you might have from another recipe you’ve cooked at the weekend. This works as a starter dish or main course salad, or as part of a sharing feast. To make the labneh: Whisk in one teaspoon of salt to every 500g of full-fat natural Greek yoghurt (don’t be tempted to use a fat-free version as it won’t be the same). Pour the mixture into cheesecloth suspended over a bowl (you can also use a large coffee filter) to allow the excess liquid to drip through. Depending how thick you want your

from Friday, April 29, 2016

labneh, leave it overnight for medium to firm or three days for super-firm. Preheat the oven to 160C/gas 6. Season the lamb breast with salt and pepper and put into a large roasting tray. Pour over the lamb stock, cover tightly with foil and cook in the oven for two to three hours, or until the meat easily comes away from the bone. Once cooked remove the lamb breasts from the stock and allow cooling. Keep the lamb stock as you can use it another day – simply pour into small tubs and freeze. While the lamb cools, remove the seeds from the pomegranate by cutting it in half and then holding over a bowl, cut side down on your spread palm. Hit the back of the pomegranate with a wooden spoon or rolling pin so that the seeds drop out into the bowl. If you have trouble try turning the half inside out and gently coaxing the remaining seeds out with your fingers.

Once the lamb breast is cool enough to handle remove all the meat from the bones in large chunks and set aside. Heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat and add a generous glug of oil. Add the chilli flakes and then fry the lamb until nice and crisp, giving it a pinch of salt as it cooks. When the lamb is crisp transfer to a large bowl. Tear in the mint and parsley and add the sliced onion. Squeeze in the lemon juice, add another good splash of olive oil and half the pomegranate seeds and season with salt and pepper. Toss everything together with your hands and then gently coax the salad out of the bowl with your fingers on to individual plates. Spoon a dollop of labneh on to a third of the plate, and finish by scattering the entire dish with pomegranate seeds. Serve with chargrilled flatbread or toasted sourdough.

Indie veterans return from freezing isolation Music As indie veterans James head to Colston Hall, they talk to Mark Taylor about recording in a remote mancave in Scotland

ow well into their fourth decade, indie veterans James are back with their 14th studio album, Girl at the End of the World, and a sell-out UK tour that will see them performing to 60,000 fans across 15 shows. Known for their unique and diverse style, James are both critically acclaimed and commercially successful, having sold more than 12

million albums worldwide. Originally signed to the iconic Manchester label Factory Records in 1982, James have gone onto produce a string of massive hit singles, including Sit Down, Come Home, She’s A Star and Born of Frustration. Early outings saw them supporting their friends and allies New Order and, later, they joined The Smiths on their Meat Is Murder Tour, including Bristol Hippodrome in April

1985. Mainstream success for James arrived at the end of the Eighties, firstly with the selffinanced 1989 live album, One Man Clapping (which was recorded at Bath’s Moles Club) and then the hit single Sit Down. The subsequent studio album, Gold Mother, sold two million copies and produced further hits in How Was It For You, Come Home and Lose Control, starting a decade of sustained success

that saw Laid break the band in the US and 1998’s Best of James notch up sales of over 900,000 copies to top the UK album chart. Now they have produced a record that the band considers their best ever. Written in a remote building in the wilds of the Scottish highlands, Girl at the End of the World sees the band team up with producer Max Dingel (The Killers, Muse, White Lies) and with the legendary Brian Eno. Founder member, bass player Jim Glennie, says writing the album in such solitude ensured the band weren’t distracted by the usual demands of the record business. “We were in a remote building in Gairloch, Wester Ross, in January, and it was snowy and freezing. “We worked solidly long hours, long days, writing, jamming and making the demos. It was like a production line and hard work but very constructive because we came away with the makings of the record. “That isolation works for us and we need to cut ourselves off from the world because otherwise we get bombarded with other stuff to do.” Frontman Tim Booth adds: “We built a

rehearsal room in the stone-walled building and bunkered ourselves down for three weeks. It was our mancave, with mattresses gaffertaped to the windows for soundproofing and barely a mobile phone bar between us. We cut ourselves off from our families and the rest of the world, and improvised the songs that would become the album. “We recorded everything then started editing those sessions down into fully formed songs. If a lot of the tracks sound quite fast, you can blame that on the raw Scottish weather. We were working with a drum machine and were conscious of setting a quick tempo to inspire dance grooves and keep us on the move as the temperature outside was five below zero.” A creatively restless band, James have continually reinvented themselves over the past four decades, but it has kept things fresh for them and their loyal fan base. Glenn says: “We’ve never been a band for coming up with an intellectual overview of what we do and why we do it. “It’s driven by what happens when we get together in a room. We don’t have one main songwriter who comes in with a bunch of

songs, we just start playing, improvising and what appears is what appears and they become the next songs. “We are restless but also ambitious. It still feels like we’re trying to prove something to somebody, although I don’t know what we’re trying to prove or to whom! “It feels like we’re still searching for something and looking for the next thing. I think that’s down to the nature of how we write the songs, it’s usually a reaction to what we’ve done previously, whether it’s trying to keep connected to it or doing something different, but it’s never an intellectual thing. “We’re passionate about what we do and James is like a weird democracy so there’s no big decision maker and in that respect there are a lot of different opinions, but that keeps it fresh and interesting. “But the essence of James is still live and that pleasure never diminishes. I can’t wait for us to get our hands on these songs in front of the best audience a band can have.” ■ James, Colston Hall, Monday May 2. See listings for details.

CAST O2 ACADEMY

wenty years since their top ten debut album, All Change, Liverpool band Cast are comfortable being labelled “Britpop legends”. “Yeah, I suppose it is a proud title,” laughs frontman John Power. “All Change is more than 20 years old but as time passes you kinda take on titles like ‘heavyweight champions of Britpop’ and that’s cool.” Cast were formed in 1992 by Power and Peter Wilkinson, formerly of Shack. It was Power’s second band, having previously been an integral part of The La’s, who were best-known for their classic 1988 single There She Goes. Cast went on to enjoy huge success in the mid-Nineties with a number of top ten singles, including Flying, Free Me, Walkaway, Sandstorm and Guiding Star. Power says: “I’ve been lucky enough to be in two seminal bands. The La’s shaped a lot of the way I played music and Cast was a continuation in a different format, but the same sort of thread of music, the strength of melody and dynamics of the band. “The La’s was 30 years ago but time just drifts

through your hands. Everything I’ve ever done musically is alive and present. “I think The La’s set a pretty high bar and they’re still an iconic band. They made an incredible impression on myself. I can’t separate the journey from the first day in The La’s and the gigs we’re playing as Cast this week. “Nothing’s really changed, I’m still in awe of the music.” Power, 48, grew up in Allerton, Liverpool, close to Penny Lane. He also attended the same school as John Lennon and he admits that he always felt a sense of place and a link to the city’s musical heritage from an early age. “I did have a sense of belonging, even as a kid. That’s not a rose-tinted view of Liverpool, and that’s not to say it has its faults, but when I was a young boy I did feel a real sense of wonder of coming from the same place as The Beatles and Bill Shankly. There was some sort of lineage that struck me and I’ve never lost that.” Cast are currently putting the finishing touches to their new album, which has been crowdfunded through the PledgeMusic campaign. Recorded at The Motor Museum in Liv-

from Friday, April 29, 2016

erpool and produced by Al Groves, it’s the follow-up to 2012’s Troubled Times, which was their first studio album in over ten years. Power says: “The working title is Kicking Up The Dust and we wanted to get it out for this tour but it’s not quite ready so it will be out in the autumn. “I’m still writing new material with vigour and verve. It’s still turning me on. When we went in the studio last year, I didn’t have all the songs but once we were there, the process started and we started blowing on the embers. “Sometimes ideas are just lying around waiting to be picked up but everything is contained within a seed and that seed just needs to grow – I’m just a musical gardener sowing the seed at the right time. “Sometimes you lose your mojo, sometimes you think you haven’t got it in you anymore, sometimes you don’t want to do it anymore, but you dig deep because it’s all you have in your pockets. “Music is all I have to show, it’s the expression of my being.” ■ Friday, April 29.

he Long Ryders make a rare UK appearance to coincide with a four-CD box set of the band’s work entitled Final Wild Songs. Regarded by many as pioneers of what is now called alt-country or Americana, this is the first time The Long Ryders have performed in Europe in a decade. Originally formed in 1983, the group disbanded in 1987 after the release of their fourth album, only reforming for select shows in the past ten years. The Long Ryders comprise of Sid Griffin

(now an author, BBC broadcaster and member of Coal Porters), Stephen McCarthy (who went on to be a member of Jayhawks), Tom Stevens and music publisher Greg Sowders. In their mid-Eighties heyday, The Long Ryders became the number one indie band in the USA (they were number two in Europe – only pipped to the top spot by The Smiths) and have been described as the missing link between Gram Parsons and Wilco.

ashville-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Grant-Lee Phillips plays a low-key Bristol show to promote new album, The Narrows, his eighth solo release. Recorded at Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Studio in Nashville, the 13-song set is Phillips’ first since his move from Los Angeles, his home of some 30 years, to Music City in 2013. The album was recorded as a trio by Phillips (guitar/vocals) with Jerry Roe (drums) and Lex Price (electric and upright bass). Singer, songwriter, guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, actor, film composer and visual artist, Phillips began his career as frontman of Grant-Lee Buffalo. Named “male vocalist of the year” in 1995 by Rolling Stone, USA Today called him a “soulful balladeer” and one “who continues to solidify his place in the upper tier of Americana.” Phillips is related to Chief John Ross on his father’s side and, paternally, he is of both Blackfoot and Cherokee ancestry.

After moving to New York City in 1982, Alden’s skills, both as soloist and accompanist, were quickly recognised and sought out for appearances and recordings with such artists as Joe Bushkin, Ruby Braff, Joe Williams, Warren Vache and Woody Herman. He continues to win accolades from critics and musicians alike; Benny Carter, Flip Phillips, Mel Powell, Bud Freeman, Kenny Davern, Clark Terry, Dizzy Gillespie and George Van Eps. Alden can be heard on the soundtrack to the 1999 Woody Allen movie Sweet and Low Down, starring Sean Penn, who was also nominated for an Academy Award for his role as the legendary (but fictional) jazz guitarist ‘Emmett Ray’. Alden not only played all the guitar solos, but also taught Penn to play the guitar for the role. Alden’s latest recording, I Remember Django, features his distinctive acoustic sound and his inimitable playing has also been sought out by rock/blues/pop icon Steve Miller for recording projects and appearances.

hey launched their Bristol season with the searing immediacy of Shostakovich’s symphonic salute to the spirit of the 1905 Russian revolution. Now the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra brings down the curtain on its own contribution to the Colston Hall International Series with another landmark symphony: Mahler’s hard-won debut, which opens to the carefully calibrated sounds of nature stirring and ends in a blaze of feel-good triumph. But the concert promised to be that bit special for another reason, too. Paired with Mahler 1 was Brahms’ Violin Concerto, and to play it, Vilde Frang, a young Norwegian with the world currently at her feet (she kicks off May, for example, with the Berlin Philharmonic under Simon Rattle). Alas she’s had to withdraw; but the Brahms remains, and her replacement isn’t exactly short of Berlin Phil connections of his own. In fact, from 2000, Guy Braunstein was the or-

No one escapes unscathed when heroes go to war

he fragile alliance between the Avengers is shattered in the third Captain America film, directed at a breathless pace by brothers Joe and Anthony Russo. Opening with a flashback to 1991 that sets one major character on their selfdestructive path, Civil War underscores its bombastic title by pitting former allies against each other in a series of dizzying showdowns that cleave apart the Marvel Comics universe. Scriptwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely repeatedly inhabit the blurred lines between heroism and villainy, examining the moral conundrums faced by superpowered warriors who have pledged to protect the innocent from the righteous crossfire. Alas, no one emerges unscathed from the melee and the deep psychological wounds inflicted in these bombastic 147 minutes suggest that this muscular chapter signals a bittersweet end for some characters while blatantly teeing up standalone spin-offs for Spider-Man and Black Panther. “Victory at the expense of the innocent is no victory at all,” solemnly intones King T’Chaka (John Kani) from the battle-scarred nation of Wakanda. If that is true then Captain America: CivilWarisacrushingdefeatforeveryone except thrill-seeking cinema audiences. A year has passed since the events of Avengers: Age Of Ultron and the US Secretary of State Thaddeus Ross (William Hurt) insists on the introduction of legislation – The Sokovia Accords – to control the superheroes. Tony Stark, aka Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), reluctantly submits, telling his compatriots: “I’m doing what has to be done to stave off something worse.” Steve Rogers, aka Captain America (Chris Evans), who has always been a

staunch patriot, refuses to sign, fearful of the consequences of the Avengers relinquishing their independence. The gulf between Stark and Rogers forces the remaining Avengers to take sides. Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), James Rhodes/ War Machine (Don Cheadle), Vision (Paul Bettany), Prince T’Challa/Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), and Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland) all stand shoulder to shoulder with Stark. Meanwhile, Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and Scott Lang/ Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), pledge their allegiance to Rogers. A battle royale between the two factions unfolds just as a diabolical new enemy, Baron Zemo (Daniel Bruhl), threatens mankind. Captain America: Civil War could easily trim 20 minutes from its bloated running time without diminishing the impact of the special effects sequences or the pivotal plot twists. The Russo brothers choreograph destruction on a grand scale, including an adrenaline-pumping motorcycle chase on the rubble-strewn streets of Berlin. Evans and Downey Jr puff out their chests for supremacy in every lavish frame, while Johansson somersaults sexily between the feuding factions. A protracted sequence involving Stark,anerdyPeterParkerandAuntMay (Marisa Tomei) sows seeds of hope that next year’s reboot, Spider-Man: Homecoming, might revitalise the webslinging vigilante with whip-smart humour. Miracles might happen.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

(12A, 147 mins) Starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Renner, Chadwick Boseman.

VERDICT:

Explosive and intense, the action (and destruction) is stunning but this epic could stand to be a 20 minutes shorter.

Dark comedy journeys into the depths of grief

DEMOLITION

(15, 99 mins) Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Naomi Watts, Chris Cooper, Heather Lind, Judah Lewis, Polly Draper, Brendan Dooling. Director: Jean-Marc Vallee.

VERDICT:

A touching exploration of grief with timely flashes of humour, Demolition sees a thoughtful performance from Gyllenhaal.

Score ★★★✩✩

rief, we’re told, comes in many different forms. There’s no wrong way to grieve, apparently. Except of course, there is. And nowhere is grief more structured than in Hollywood. There, grief is either a granite albatross weighing the sufferer down until eventually they crack and, more often than not, scream at a coldly beautiful landscape until finally, their artful tears fall, or it is quite the opposite; it is a fully formed thing from the offset. This much-seen Hollywood version of grief is a blanket which the sufferer is wholly covered and fully in tune with, basking in their loss while a soundtrack of touching acoustic songs plays out as the screen is flooded with a golden-tinged montage of “better times”; long beach walks, ice creams licked off noses and soft punches on the arm, before realising with a shrug, that of course, “This...” – be it selling the house, finding a new partner, or donating their beloved’s cardigan – “...is what he/she would have wanted”. Demolition, the new comedy drama from Wild and Dallas Buyers Club director Jean-Marc Vallee, offers neither trope for its antihero, Davis Mitchell (Jake Gyllenhaal). It’s not a version of grief any of the dearly departed would want for their loved ones. Widowed after a car accident killed his wife Julia (Heather Lind), the young banker is left with a numbness he can’t shake. He’s not just numb about his high-flying job

at the bank, where his father-in-law Phil (Chris Cooper) also happens to be the boss, or his covetable home and possessions, he’s also indifferent to Julia’s death and unmoved by his colleagues and loved ones’ needs for him to heal, or at least heal in a way they understand. The only person who penetrates his apathetic exterior is Karen (Naomi Watts). As the customer services representative for a vending machine company, Karen receives a letter of complaint from Davis about the machine in the hospital which gobbled his money, but didn’t give him his goods on the night of his wife’s death. But while he writes about the complaint, he also expands on his life and loss, until eventually his letters become increasingly confessional in tone to the point where Karen and Davis meet and strike a friendship. Soon, Davis becomes entwined in Karen’s life and that of her troubled teenage son Chris (Judah Lewis) who has become cold and distant to her lately. As time goes on, Davis reverts to more extreme tactics – much to the shock of Phil – to feel again and, with the help of Karen and Chris, to rebuild his life and, in turn, unlock the struggles Chris is going through. While sentimentality could be rife, Demolition avoids it, largely due to the welcome flashes of humour and thoughtful performances from Gyllenhaal and his young co-star Lewis, but it’s just a shame that Watts is underwritten.

Starring Jamie Michie, best known for his role as Steelshanks in Game of Thrones, Scottish writer Andy Duffy creates a rare and poetic insight into the psychology of a banker’s world. Emma Callander says: “I am delighted that Andy Duffy’s challenging and brilliant play, Crash, is touring the UK this spring. “This deceptively simple piece of writing tells a chilling and important story about 21st century capitalism.

Ed opens up with most personal show yet

f you missed Ed Byrne when he brought his latest show to Colston Hall a few months ago, you’ve got a second chance to catch him over at Weston’s Playhouse Theatre this week. The much-loved Mock the Week star, who has been in the comedy business for 20 years, covers a wide range of subjects in the show – from a recent gastric illness to the success of UKIP – and he talks a lot about his family in what is his most personal show yet. When Ed was at the Colston Hall in

44 S E E I T ● ● ● ● ●

January, our reviewer said: “There is still that sharp lance of dry wit that punctures the pretentious and the hypocritical. In Outside, Looking In, he has taken a more personal riff on current social behaviour as it has affected his career and family interests. Ed Byrne’s distinctive gift for telling stories of everyday experiences provide a wealth of observational wit.” Of this more open comedy, Ed says: “I didn’t make a conscious effort to write a more personal show, but that was what was coming out when I started writing it.

from Friday, April 29, 2016

“People come to see me for a laugh and I would like to think they go away thinking the show is quite heartwarming.” Aside from the personal reflection, Ed also ponders on matters political – there’s a passionate section about how we label young children, for instance, and he also talks about feminism and transgenderism – what he calls “the thorniest issue since Jesus was fitted for a hat”. ■ Outside Looking In, The Playhouse Theatre, Wednesday, May 4.

Molten rock, belly bingo and more at arts studios

Art Spike Island’s artists invite in the public this weekend, as the studios host their largest and most family-friendly open studios event yet, writes Tara Pardo

isitors will be able to explore behind the scenes at Spike Island this weekend, as the artists throw open their doors for their annual Open Studios event. It’s one of the major art events in Bristol’s calendar and there’s always a buzz about the studios as the artists, designers and creative businesses get ready to welcome the public into the former Brooke Bond tea packing factory. Open Studios organiser and Spike Island Communications Manager Jane Faram tells us: “Everyone’s busy getting their studios ready. Pretty much every artist in the building is opening their studio, so that’s a whole range of artists working in sculpture painting, drawing, filmmaking, animation, all sorts. The public

46 S E E I T ● ● ● ● ●

can access them in their studios and meet them in their working environment. “They’re all really, really keen to meet people who want to look around. Some of them will be making work during the weekend and some of them will just be there to talk to everyone about what they do. “We’ve also got a whole host of special commissions in place for the event. Artists around the building have created work that uses the building in interesting ways, so installations in stairwells for example. “And we’ve got a pop-up cinema that’s got a range of things, from stop-motion animation to documentary-style films. It showcases the breadth of work being produced across the whole building and that’s going to be on all the time.

from Friday, April 29, 2016

“Another really big highlight is live molten rock casting by an artist called Jo Lathwood. She’s working with lava and making sculptures in an area we call the sculpture yard. That will be on the Monday.” Visitors will also be able to see Spike Island’s current exhibitions, including the major exhibition Pump House by Michael Beutler. The artist and a team of volunteers have created constructions using industrial materials, such as paper, metal, wood or plastic, shaping them into large-scale building elements with specially developed tools, which themselves form part of the exhibition. Jane says: “One great thing for families is that Michael Beutler is running a family workshop which is for people of all ages, especially aimed towards young children. They can come and

The fun kicks off with opening night celebrations on Friday, April 29, from 6-9pm, followed by a party in the sculpture yard.

Colour yourself beautiful with a simple palete Think using the same colour on your eyes, cheeks and lips is a beauty no-no? The mono make-up trend will make you think twice – or should that be thrice? Katie Wright finds out how it’s done.

eceived make-up wisdom decrees that you should only focus on one feature at a time – a smoky eye, a bold lip, etc – but there’s a red carpet trend that eschews that notion. As seen on Rihanna and model of the moment Gigi Hadid, the monochromatic look involves using one colour on the eyes, lips and cheeks, creating a beautifully ‘pulled together’ look.

THE BRONZE AGE ■ Tying in with fashion’s current Nineties obsession, brown shades are best if you have a medium to dark skin tone, and either blue or green/hazel eyes. Go for warmer tones; think bronze, golden and deep copper shades, as anything cooler can wash out the skin.

75-year-old patient says ‘I walk like a 15-year-old again!’

Aneurin Jones with Customer Relations Executive, Fiona Cormie

Health Seventy-five-year-old Aneurin Jones is feeling young again after four successful operations at Emersons Green NHS Treatment Centre. He explains his life-changing experience to the centre’s Customer Relations Executive, Fiona Cormie.

fter four joint replacements in less than two years, Aneurin is now pain free and delighted with life. “Just watch me walk now! That’s all that you need to do to see how much better I am after my treatment,” he says. Aneurin has had two total hip replacements and two total knee replacements at Emersons Green NHS Treatment Centre, all carried out by orthopaedic surgeon Joszef Nemes. Under the consultant-led care team, Aneurin built up a strong relationship with his surgeon and was kept well informed at all times. “Dr Joszef is a lovely man and he planned my treatment with me to get me walking properly again,” said Aneurin. “I knew what to expect, and each operation went perfectly.” After working for Rolls-Royce as an engineer for 37 years, Aneurin retired, but was struggling to remain active because of the pain in his joints. Now, however, he is looking forward to making the most of his free time. He says: “I

used to walk bow-legged from side to side and now I walk normally. I should have had this done years ago!” Emersons Green NHS Treatment Centre is an NHS surgical facility just a short distance off the A4174 ring road on the border of Bristol and South Gloucestershire. It provides high quality care to all of its patients and records very short waiting times, averaging six to ten weeks from referral to treatment. Under NHS rules, patients can choose where they wish to be treated and Aneurin jumped at the chance. He said: “I didn’t realise I had the right to choose where I had my NHS surgery. As soon as Emersons Green NHS Treatment Centre was mentioned by my physiotherapist as an option for me, I said I wanted to go there.” Aneurin, like many other local people, had heard about the treatment centre from friends who had great things to say about the NHS facility. “Everyone I have spoken to about the Emersons Green centre has been pleased with

their treatment,” he said, adding: “For a hospital, it was very, very enjoyable to be there, if you know what I mean. It was like being in a hotel! “All of the staff were very nice; the nurses were really caring people and even the receptionist that I have got to know came to see me while I was recovering.” Pamela Mackie, Hospital Director at Emersons Green NHS Treatment Centre, concluded: “We are delighted that Mr Jones has chosen us for all four of his major joint replacements and that, for each one, his experience was exceptional. “Mr Jones is one of many patients who return to us time and time again, something they can do because we are part of the local choice for NHS treatment.” ■ For more information about Emersons Green NHS Treatment Centre, including who can have treatment and how to be referred, visit www.emersonsgreentreatmentcentre.nhs.uk.

Discover the magic of smugglers’ hideaway Tim Davey soaks up the sun (and sunsets) in the old smugglers’ haunt of Hope Cove

hese days the road into Hope Cove, though somewhat narrow in parts, is relatively straightforward as it swoops you down some Devon coastline contours to the waiting sea. Centuries ago, however, this must have been a remote settlement, reached by a roughly-hewn track. Travellers then, as now, however, would have been able to take much-needed sustenance at the Hope and Anchor, the inn set a few steps back from the shoreline. As buildings go, it cuts a substantial figure taking pole position in this, still small, community which these days is known to thousands of visitors and holidaymakers who gravitate to this charming spot, nestling in a bay between two high cliffs. In very recent times, however, the Hope and Anchor has been given a substantial makeover by owners, St Austell Brewery. Refurbished accommodation, dining and bar areas have brought it firmly into the 21st century but without damaging its place in history as an ancient hostelry. Because, while Hope Cove may be diminutive by resort standards, it is a place with a fascinating tale to tell, linked with its proximity to the sea. Smugglers plied their trade here across the centuries and the nearby waters can be treacherous for shipping. There are numerous wrecks offshore. Those dangers were responsible for producing an oddball historical scenario during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, when we were at war with Spain, because Hope Cope is the only place in England where Spaniards made landfall during this turbulent time. Their galleon, St Peter the Great, was wrecked and its beams used to build local homes. These days, the cove is still a refuge for craft seeking safe harbour and the community based around it is actually two sections – Outer Hope and Inner Hope. The latter is very well preserved boasting a centre full of thatched homes and, of course, the Hope and Anchor. The cliffs rise either side of the beaches here and whichever direction you choose has a decent footpath to walk, offering stunning views. Head one way and you go towards Thurlestone – another very good beach – and a very popular eating place, The Beach House Café. The beach is sandy, the sea is safe and the award-winning waters clean. It’s very popular with families and wind or kite surfers. Hercule Poirot’s TV whodunnit location, Burgh Island, with its hotel, can be reached on foot or by sea

tractor if the tide is in. In the other direction you ascend a cliff path which will eventually lead to Soar Mill Cove, another gem of a beach. It’s National Trust and quite exquisite. Keep walking the same path – or go by car if you are feeling lazy – and eventually you will find yourself in or near Salcombe. It’s always busy and forget about driving through it during high season as you will find yourself negotiating roads filled with masses of strolling visitors. Use the park-and-ride instead at such times. In between Soar Mill Cove and Salcombe itself is Overbeck’s House, another National Trust acquisition. This was once the home of scientist and inventor Otto Overbeck. The gardens he created are superb and full of exotic plants. The house, too, is another slice of national treasure packed with collections of everything from dolls to model boats. We spent a couple of nights at the Hope and Anchor and the timing was perfect as the dying embers of the British Summer Time decided to go out in a blaze of glory. So, bathed in sunshine, we walked in both directions from the inn, messed about on the beach and water’s edge, and shopped in Salcombe. It was always nice, though, to return to our comfortable en suite room with a super view out across the heart of Hope Cove. The Hope and Anchor really is the focal point of the place and its bar areas and restaurant are very popular. It’s easy to see why, because, although cleverly rejuvenated by its brewery owners, it has lost none of its traditional feel. St Austell Brewery has a good reputation for the food it serves at its pubs, inns and hotels, and the Hope and Anchor was no exception. We dined there both nights and, despite it being extremely busy as it was half term, there was no interminable wait and when our dishes arrived, they were spot on. As you might expect, the menu here has a serious affinity with the nearby sea, offering “coastal kitchen classics” including a host of lobster, crab and mussel dishes, to good old cod and chips using batter based on one of St Austell’s brews. Meat lovers aren’t forgotten either, with 28-day aged steaks and burgers. And, of course, there are vegetarian options, too. On our second, and final, full day in Hope Cove, the weather conditions produced a stunning last sunset of summer out across the bay. We watched from the cliff path above Hope Cove as the sun’s dying embers were finally extinguished by the horizon. It was a timely reminder of just how magical this lovely little resort can be.

Finishing touches

PVC and PVC/wood composite decks have been available for about 10 years and there’s bound to be one that suits your needs. These decking planks are pre-coloured and normally not slippery when wet (would you believe there’s a slip rating?) once fitted these decks need next to no maintenance other than a wash about once a year. This saves you not only a day or twos work but around £100 a year! Another possible saving with PVC or composite decking is the reduced number of supports needed compared with wood. A warning here not all products are equal, buy from a reputable supplier and always check specifications. And please check wood decking regularly for splinters as puppies paws and children’s knees have a habit of finding these all too easily. Oh and do not try and make a deck

You really can have some fun here with

a classy glass balustrade, especially for uninterrupted views, or wooden or PVC balustrade (the latter being maintenance free). Do plan this in advance as you will need good support or fixing points for the posts. A good supplier will help you draw up the design and give installation advice. Last but not least, if like me you use your decking all year round, think about lighting! I prefer inset LEDs or post lamps, but there are plenty to choose from. Just remember that if like me you enjoy seeing the stars, lights you can switch off are a must. Make plant pot stands on wheels which makes moving big pots so much easier or decorate your deck with furniture - a toy chest or child’s chair or bench or even an outdoor coffee table, even add some

Practical and beautiful, potager has the best of both

Gardening St Andrew’s garden designer Sue Oakey explains what is a potager and how to plant your own

he word “potager” originates from the French “jardin potager” meaning a garden providing vegetables for the pot, and is now used to describe an ornamental kitchen garden. Even with a small garden, it is possible to plant your own potager. Start by carefully choosing a dry, sunny site, with good drainage. Avoid the shade of overhanging trees, keep away from dry areas under hedging and be prepared to spend some time on soil preparation. A good friable soil with the addition of home-made compost will encourage crops to thrive; if you have sticky clay soil, dig in lots of mushroom compost and pea gravel. You should aim for a consistency not unlike the topping on an apple crumble. The potager style uses formal, geometric beds divided by narrow paths for easy access. Mix triangles, squares and L-shapes to make best use of your space, but keep the beds as large as possible for maximum growing potential. Raised beds will help keep off slugs and snails, and are easier on your back, too. Traditional materials such as wood and woven willow will create a natural feel to your

potager; for a more contemporary look, use blockwork painted in bright colours. If space allows, aim to create four main cropping areas, so that you can practice crop rotation between roots, legumes, brassicas and other plants. This enables crops to make best use of the soil nutrients. The main planting elements to consider are colour, texture and shape. Group plants in colour blocks or rows, such as purples with oranges and yellows with greens. Alternate low-growing and tall, willowy plants and consider flowering and fruiting seasons. You can easily download pictures from the internet, creating a collage to see how your final planting scheme will work. Choose edible flowers for colour and to add to salads in summer; these will also attract beneficial insects to help control pests. Edge beds with clipped box, lavender, chives or alpine strawberries. Or, for a more fruitful edging, choose stepover apples or pears. And don’t forget to use the vertical space: obelisks dripping with scented sweet peas, archways supporting miniature pumpkins, herbs spilling out of old chimney pots, or peas climbing over

willow wigwams will add an extra dimension. Herbs are a useful addition to the potager. Choose garlic chives, with white, edible flowers, beloved of butterflies and bees; fresh scented lemon verbena makes a delicious herbal tea; basil “Purple Ruffles” will add a splash of colour and a strong scent, while the statuesque angelica archangelica will add height. For more permanent herb planting, add bay, which can be clipped into formal shapes for structure. To achieve a softer look, choose lilac-flowering rosemary “Miss Jessopp’s Upright”. Flowers are an essential part of the quintessential potager garden and will add colour throughout the seasons. The scent of sweet pea is heavenly in the heat of summer, while allium “Globemaster” and dahlia “Bishop’s Children” will add height to your beds. And the rich mahogany shades of rudbeckia “Capucinno” will shine out in the low autumn sun. So get planning and planting, and in no time at all you will have a potager to be proud of. ■ To contact Sue, call 0117 944 2432, or email sue_oakey@hotmail.co.uk.

Wives, mothers and lovers: women take centre stage Television As Kay Mellor’s brilliant and touching In The Club returns, Susan Griffin catches up with the acclaimed writer and her leading ladies, to talk labour scenes, complicated relationships and money woes

ay Mellor has always put women centre stage. “That’s where they belong, in my world,” says the acclaimed, Bafta-winning writer of Band Of Gold, Playing The Field and Fat Friends. “My mother was such a strong influence, and my aunties. There are a million and one things that women have to do, whereas men are more single-minded.” But it’s not always been easy to forge ahead with female-focused series, she admits: “Sometimes I’ve had situations where I’ve had to say to the casting director, ‘He is her husband. She’s the lead’.” In The Club, her drama about pregnancy, birth and the changing nature of relationships that babies bring about, is another fine example of her efforts paying off. Before it returns for a second series, here’s what you need to know... The first series followed six very different couples who bonded in their local parentcraft class; each dealing with their own unique issues – from paternity fears to debt, divorce, and even death. It was a ratings hit, and Leeds-born Mellor was soon asked to come up with ideas for a second run. She remembers the meeting she had with Polly Hill, the BBC’s controller of drama commissioning. “She said it would be really nice to have a sense of a new series, rather than a returning one, so I said, ‘What about some new characters?’,” reveals Mellor, who turns 65 next month. “I think she would’ve been happy with one new character, but I decided to have four!” The new faces are pregnant surrogate Shelly (Gemma Dobson), who’s rented out her womb to gay couple Andrew (Andrew Buckley) and Nathan (Paul Nicholls), believing it’s the perfect way to make some easy money, but her

64 S E E I T ● ● ● ● ●

mum Maxine (Sandra Huggett) isn’t so sure. “This is something that’s happening more and more, and it’s interesting because there are emotions, there are insecurities,” remarks Mellor. “Can you let a child go if you’ve given birth? What does that do to you? What rights do the men have who’ve provided the sperm? What legal status do they have? It’s a whole new area to mine for me. I found it fascinating exploring those themes.” The original cast appear too, when the series opens ten months since the last outing, including Hermione Norris who returns as business woman Roanna. “We hit the ground running,” says the 49-year-old actress, also known for her roles in Spooks and Cold Feet. “She [Roanna] is living with her younger lover Simon [Luke Thompson] in a damp, old cottage, struggling to get back into the workplace and needing to earn money to pay rent, now that she’s waiting for her divorce settlement to come in. So she goes to seek help from an unlikely quarter.” Mum-of-two Norris laughs as she admits she’s “exhausted” from filming. “It’s tiring when you’re playing a heightened emotional state. I’m just relieved I don’t have Roanna’s life! I know people thrive on drama and chaos but, no, I’m looking for an easy life.” The IT Crowd’s Katherine Parkinson was expecting her second baby during the first series. “I was quite far along and I was genuinely concerned – because it’s very hard to [act that you’re] pushing and not actually push!” says the 38-year-old, laughing. But all the research paid off, as she had a “flawless” second birth. “It was like I had the longest training!” she jokes. In the new series, Parkinson’s character – bisexual blogger and teaching assistant Kim – has her love life complicated by her ex-partner Susie (Tara Fitzgerald), while her relationship with Neil, the father of her baby, is in jeopardy

from Friday, April 29, 2016

and she struggles to be the perfect mum. “She’s very proprietorial and doesn’t even let Neil have her [the baby] on her own until she’s ten months old. I think a lot of women go through that.” Kim might be going through a tough time, but it soon dawns on her life could be worse. “She’s got this gorgeous man, who’s exemplary and such a good father and so attentive. She’s got an easier set-up than Rosie.” Indeed, Mellor has admitted she has a soft spot for schoolgirl Rosie, played by Hannah Midgley, because she was a young mum herself – and “against all odds, we stuck together”. “Rosie’s still with Jude [Danny Breeze] and they’ve moved back into her dad’s flat,” explains Midgley, 22, who’s also appeared in Emmerdale. “She’s found it really difficult, harder than she thought, but she’s got her family unit and that’s important to her, and she

still has the support of Kim.” The actress believes it’s an important storyline. “There are so many girls out there who, at 15, have fallen pregnant and not known what to do. It’s a terrifying situation for them to be in, so it’s important to portray it sensitively.” Things are better for spirited Jasmin, played by Taj Atwal, and her husband Dev (Sacha Dhawan) although their overbearing mothers have moved in and are refusing to leave. “I’m obviously pregnant, which is something she’s shaky about,” says Atwal, who’s sporting a prosthetic bump. “It’s not something she wanted but it’s happened now, so they’re going to go through with it and the mums are interfering, much to Jaz’s dismay.” Although she doesn’t have kids of her own, the actress isn’t fazed by the labour scenes. “In the first take, you’re like, ‘Oh, is anything showing?’, and then by the third take, you

don’t care who’s in the room, who’s watching, where the camera’s angled!” While Jasmin’s struggling with too much support, housewife Diane needs all the help she can get, since her husband Rick (Will Mellor) was sent to prison. “She’s coping on her own with four children and decides she needs to earn some money, so she starts child-minding for other people,” explains mother-of-one Jill Halfpenny, 40. “She’s waiting for Rick to come home and hoping things will get a bit better, and then he does come home and things get a little bit worse.” She’s unsure their situation will ever improve. “I think they’re going to be that couple, where they have money assigned each month and if something comes in that is unexpected, like a parking ticket, it can send them into some sort of panic. That’s really frightening, but that’s how most people live.”

Midwife and new mum Vicky is also juggling a lot. “Vicky’s fella’s not around, so she’s coping as a single parent and still working long hours,” reveals Christine Bottomley. “She’s exhausted and frazzled and something happens at work, which raises the question how good she is at her job and whether she should still be doing it.” The 36-year-old recalls spending a lot of time with midwives in preparation for the role. “They’re brilliant women, brilliant multitaskers and I totally salute them. It’s a massive responsibility bringing new life into the world,” she enthuses. And a certain programme continues to be must-see TV in her household... “I still watch One Born Every Minute,” Bottomley admits. “I’m an addict!” ■ In The Club returns to BBC One on Tuesday, May 3.
