So after last month’s rant, let’s celebrate locals doing it for themselves this time. From the über-talented hip-hop clan, Spring Break, releasing their own debut album this month, to the homegrown (and widely renowned) Etape Loch Ness and the developing Inverness Whisky & Gin and Highland Haggis Festivals, we salute all those prepared to stick their necks out and get things done, without waiting for national funding or finance. They (and all the many others out there through the year) deserve our heartfelt thanks and support. Huzzah for the Highlands!

ART Celebrating The Abstract The UPSTAIRS Gallery continues to be one of the few outlets in the area for challenging, unusual art and UPSTAIRS this month welcomes the second in a series of three exhibitions, by new group Black Isle Abstract. This one is entitled HARD EDGE GEOMETRY [1] by BETI BRICELJ. Beti’s painting is, as she explains, “based on a modular principle of multiplication of the chosen geometric form onto a certain picture surface, which is not always even, but it incorporates itself through the alternation of its determinants in the process of verifying the relationship between form and colour”. Got that?

Beti was born in 1974 in Postojna (Slovenia). In 2000 she graduated from Fine Arts on Arthouse—College of Visual Arts in Ljubljana. She continued her education in Australia where she lived for a year and where she was invited to participate in a research study of the Aboriginal culture. She has presented work for independent and joint exhibitions in Slovenia and abroad (Australia, Europe, Israel India and including the renowned Museum of Geometric and MADI Art in Dallas Texas, USA, where she received 3rd prize at their biennial: Origins in geometry 2017). Her work is published in various international catalogues and books of contemporary art.

More abstract art at KILMORACK GALLERY’s April exhibition, this time by Glasgowbased LIZ KNOX [2], alongside new paintings from ALLAN MACDONALD, JANE MACNEILL [3] and PETER DAVIS and sculpture by MARY BOURNE [4].

The title of Jane MacNeill’s new body of work is GRANITE AND CLOUD. In this MacNeill has moved on to paint the Cairngorms of her childhood. It combines all the power of her previous periods - showing the subtle energies of the landscape.

Mary Bourne is one of Scotland’s most significant sculptors. Much of her work is in stone is of a monumental scale and done to commission, so it is a rare treat to see this small number of more domestic scaled works. All of Bourne’s hallmarks are in these sand-blasted sculpture: power, poetry and a mirroring of nature’s enduring processes.

Work by other artists will also be on exhibition, and Kilmorack Gallery’s new publication the Book of Artists (with an introduction and images to over forty artists) will be available for purchase.

CASTLE GALLERY ART

ANGIE LEWIN & BRONWEN SLEIGH, 26 Mar - 30 Apr, As part of a Mixed Spring Exhibition the gallery will be featuring original, handmade prints by these two acclaimed printmakers. Angie Lewin studied printmaking at Central St. Martins and Camberwell Schools of Art in London and is a member of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers.

She will be showing a range of handmade prints including screenprints, linocuts and wood engraving. Bronwen Sleigh studied at Glasgow School of Art and then gained a MA in Fine Art Printmaking from the prestigious Royal College of Art in London. She is a multi-media artist and emerging talent of the contemporary print world.

Her work takes inspiration from industrial architecture, unused and forgotten urban spaces and environments at the edge of the city. Close connections with the Highlands led to a series of etchings exploring the oil rigs of Invergordon and Nigg. castlegallery.co.uk

BLAZEJ MARCZAK’S: THE GREY CITY, 1 Apr - 29 May, A personal and subjective impression of Aberdeen. Often described as the Granite City, though others say it is silver.

Blazej feels a most accurate label is the ‘Grey City’. A ubiquitous landscape has been created by the silver granite and a matching sky: this evokes an atmosphere of gloom. Blazej fails to see the glamour as described by others; he is instead attracted to the things that are seemingly commonplace, things which many may see as unimportant and mundane. The silver remains but is becoming stained, a patina encroaching.

IMAG

A FINE LINE, to 12 May, This exhibition features work by four contemporary artists based in Scotland – Lizzie Farey, Angie Lewin, Frances Priest and Bronwen Sleigh. The exhibition explores the fine line between art and craft in two and three dimensions, bringing together a diverse range of disciplines including printmaking, drawing, collage, sculpture and ceramics.

Working with different media but united by detailed observation and strong draughtsmanship, these artists experiment with linear mark-making and drawing in its widest sense.

GONGOOZLER, Mar, by Lesley Banks. A visual journey along Scotland’s canals from the perspective of the pedestrian on the towpath.

TRISTAN AITCHISON: MYND, to 1 Apr, Using toy and vintage cameras, expired and rare films, and alternative processes, Black Isle filmmaker, Tristan Aitchison reinterprets the Highland landscape and presents ‘Mynd’.

It is a personal and introspective photographic series about his relationship with his Highland home.

TINA MACLEOD, Mar & Apr, Scottish designer/maker Tina MacLeod creates tactile pieces of jewellery that evoke a sense of place. The concept of the island and the unique atmosphere of the Hebridean coastal woodland are central to her work, capturing an essence of that sensed but unexplained aura often experienced within the forest. By using precious metal techniques she is able to convey a sense of the ephemeral nature of the living landscape.

SCOTLAND, SILVER, SYMBOLS, to 28 Apr, The first exhibition from our decorative arts project, funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund, featuring the participants’ creative responses to IMAG’s silver collection.

BITS, PIECES AND FISH-SLICES, to 30 Mar HARD EDGE GEOMETRY, 02 to 27 Apr, By Beti Bricelj, who’s painting is based on a modular principle of multiplication of the chosen geometric form onto a certain picture surface, which is not always even, but it incorporates itself through the alternation of its determinants in the process of verifying the relationship between form and colour. Beti was born in 1974 in Postojna (Slovenia). In 2000 she graduated from Fine Arts on Arthouse – College of Visual Arts in Ljubljana. After completing her studies she continued her education in Australia where she lived for a year and where she was invited to participate in a research study of the Aboriginal culture organized by the Department of Aboriginal Affairs, Adelaide, South Australia. As an artist she also took up an architectural challenge and designed the front of the Epicenter B2 Trade and Business Center in Postojna using her expertise in art. Since 2002 Bricelj has been a member of the Slovenian Association of Fine Arts Societies. She divides her time working in Slovenia and in Scotland, UK. Open: 2pm-4pm weekdays. upstairs.scot

Look Up To The Stars...

THE BLOCKBUSTER AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR [4] (27 APR Vue)—it’s the big one. Well, part one of the big two. This is where all the Marvel universe comes together— The Avengers, Guardians of The Galaxy, Black Panther, Capt America, Iron Man, Ant-Man, Spider-Man and Doctor Strange are all on show to try to overcome arch-baddie Thanos as he attempts to ‘restore order’ to the universe. In fact, this so-far feeble incarnation of Thanos may be the film’s weak point, but we’re hoping that the usually-excellent JOSH BROLIN is left prosthetic-free enough to give a performance (and hopefully they’ll remember to equip him with a meaningful script this time). This universe has so many stars it’s ridiculous—but quick name check anyway, if only to underline the box-office bully this will be: ANGELA BASSETT, DAVE BAUTISTA, PAUL BETTANY, CHADWICK BOSEMAN, JOSH BROLIN, DON CHEADLE, BRADLEY COOPER, BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH, BENICIO DEL TORO, VIN DIESEL, ROBERT DOWNEY JR., WINSTON DUKE, CHRIS EVANS, KAREN GILLAN, DANAI GURIRA, CHRIS HEMSWORTH, TOM HIDDLESTON, TOM HOLLAND, SCARLETT JOHANSSON, ANTHONY MACKIE, ELIZABETH OLSEN, GWYNETH PALTROW, CHRIS PRATT, JEREMY RENNER, PAUL RUDD, MARK RUFFALO, ZOE SALDANA, COBIE SMULDERS, TESSA THOMPSON, LETITIA WRIGHT, BENEDICT WONG and, somewhere, creator STAN LEE. EC NEW RELEASES Outside of the comic book universes, there is a varied range of releases for March and Eden Court have four of them. WONDERSTRUCK [11] (20–26 APR) is a mystery of symmetrical tales set 50 years apart, from Carol director TODD HAYNES and starring JULIANNE MOORE, MICHELLE WILLIAMS, plus young talents OAKES FEGLEY and MILLICENT SIMMONDS. Other fresh produce at Eden Court includes LET THE SUNSHINE IN [10] (20 APR), a witty French black comedy with JULIETTE BINOCHE; The self-explanatory CUSTODY (27 APR–03 MAY) that picked up Venice Film Fest ‘Bests’ for Director (Xavier Legrand) and First Feature; whilst 120 BPM [5] (20–26 APR EC) is set among rallies, protests and euphoric dance parties in Paris during the early 90s AIDS epidemic. All recommended. [Films in GREEN are Eden Court’s Indie Pics for this month] VUE NEW RELEASES Usual mixed bag of major and slightly less-so film releases for Vue Inverness, some to see, some to miss!: A QUIET PLACE [2], (06 APR Vue) is a creepy supernatural horror in which EMILY BLUNT stars alongside her husband JOHN KRASINSKI (who also directs)—a little low-key family indulgence before she leaps into opposite-land in Mary Poppins Returns, at Xmas time; DEATH WISH (06 APR Vue)—an entirely unnecessary remake of the ‘74 Bronson film. With BRUCE WILLIS playing the unreconstructedly imagined vigilante in this weirdly pointless idea of an ‘alpha male’ fantasy; I KILL GIANTS [1] (06 APR Vue) is a rather more imaginative creation altogether, a fantasy thriller film based on a graphic novel, directed by Anders Walter and starring the refreshing line-up of MADISON WOLFE, IMOGEN POOTS, SYDNEY WADE, RORY JACKSON, ZOE SALDANA and NOEL CLARKE; RAMPAGE [9] (13 APR Vue)—now we don’t want to jinx this, perhaps this sci-fi-monster flick from San Andreas director is actually top notch, but tbh, when we see Dwayne Johnson playing a primatologist and Naomie Harris a genetic engineer, we think we’re in trouble. Big trouble. Quite literally, in the case of a giant gorilla, wolf and crocodile.

Umm.... LOVE, SIMON [8] (06 APR) is a typical Spring Break teen coming-of-age release, with a ‘cool’ soundtrack and squeaky clean teens in high school dealing with seemingly important dramas. This one’s about a closeted gay pupil being blackmailed and having fallen in love with a mystery person online. As you do. GHOST STORIES [3] (06 APR) is from the successful stage play of the same name—made by the same peeps, starring some UK talent including MARTIN FREEMAN, the tremendous ALEX LAWTHER and PAUL WHITEHOUSE. It’s supernatural, so… y’know...

^Last Month’s Releases This Month

LMRTM^ Last month’s this month at EC include the wonderful, magical, WES ANDERSON’s stop-motion newie ISLE OF DOGS [7] (13–19 APR) with his usual stellar cast of voices—including BRYAN CRANSTON, EDWARD NORTON, FRANCES MCDORMAND, HARVEY KEITEL, SCARLETT JOHANSSON, TILDA SWINTON BILL MURRAY, JEFF GOLDBLUM, and even YOKO ONO!; PETER RABBIT (06–12 APR) with live-action DOMHNALL GLEESON, ROSE BYRNE and SAM NEILL and umpteen ‘puter-animated animals, Ava DuVernay sci-fi A WRINKLE IN TIME [6] (06–12 APR) and PADDY CONSIDINE’s boxing flick JOURNEYMAN (27–30 APR). And a slightly older movie that has confounded critics and become a massive success with audiences returns, HUGH JACKMAN musical, THE GREATEST SHOWMAN [12] screens 20–22 APR, and, pay attention—this is the SINGALONG version! Yussss!

Live theatre on screen is a quietly great revolution in cinema—if you haven’t tried it yet, don’t be such a wuss, give it a go, you won’t regret it. A real highlight for Shakespeare fans this month is CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON and NIAMH CUSACK’s MACBETH [15] (Live 11, Encore 15 APR EC). Other EC highlights worth your attention (and you can read more about on the centre pages) include DISTANT SKY [14] the live NICK CAVE concert (12 APR), MY GOLDEN DAYS [16] (18/19 APR), THE DIVINE ORDER [13] (06–12 APR), MAKALA (17/18 APR), a trio of films celebrating the awesome INGMAR BERGMAN’S centenary and InFiFa’s season of JAPANESE FILM (both various dates, see below).

KIDS Granny With Attitude.

David Walliams must be the country’s most prolific children’s author, as well as the most refreshingly inventive. As relentless in turning out his tales as his audience are to voraciously consume them, it’s no surprise that stage adaptations of his stories are proving to be just as successful as the books from which they come.

So you can guarantee an excited audience when GANGSTA GRANNY [1] comes to EDEN COURT from 26–28 APR. That it comes from the producers of another magnificent kid-friendly franchise, Horrible Histories, ensures the yarn about a young lad going off for the adventure of a lifetime with his nan should be a whole lot of fun. And keep Walliams’ fans happy in the weeks before he no doubt brings out yet another book.

Earlier in the month, on 15 & 16 APR there’s something aimed at slightly younger family members in the form of FOUR GO WILD IN WELLIES [2]. This family show is a playful look at social structures and of how friendships are built, broken and mended. Independance, an inclusive dance company for people with disabilities and their carers, bring their hit production to examine collaboration and competition, the joy of inventiveness and curiosity and the interaction between ourselves and the world around us. It’s suitable for 3–5 year olds and their carers.

There seems to be something of a craze for riffs on the tale of the little girl and the big bad wolf in recent months with shows telling the story via dance, symbolism and even Gaelic. Now there’s a version, RED RIDING HOOD’S MAGIC PURSE at UNIVERSAL HALL, FINDHORN on 14 APR which sees it performed by puppets. Part of the Puppet Animation Festival and presented

by Clydebuilt this is a classic story told with a difference. Favourite characters abound—an adventurous Red Riding Hood, an independent Granny (home at last from her trip round the world), and of course the wonderful Wicked Wolf, who plans to have Granny for lunch and Little Rosie for afternoon tea.

More puppetry in LITTLE LIGHT at FORRES TOWN HALL on 01 APR—a crosscultural co-production between the wonderfully creative Vision Mechanics and Haya Cultural Centre, Jordan—staged in a traditional Bedouin tent and uses puppetry, music and dance to tell this magical story of a small, energetic star, a lonely boy and a dog.

In The Club.

Now that spring’s here, in name at least, how better to celebrate the extra hours of daylight under the wide Highland skies than at OUTDORES, the increasingly popular clubbing shindig on the shores of Loch Ness at Dores Inn? The next one’s on 28 APR, headlined by BRADLEY ZERO [1], with a strong supporting line up including HIGHLAND SOUL COUNCIL and the always excellent ALLY RIDGERS. It’s a particularly strong month for clubbers with IRONWORKS hosting a trio of unmissable nights. First on 07 APR it’s the always eclectic Radio 1 stalwart B.TRAITS [2], then on 27 APR a true legend of the British DJ scene and Progressive House/techno pioneer, BILLY NASTY [3] and on 14 APR, a techno extravaganza featuring SPARTAQUE & SPEKTRE. Meanwhile on 06 APR at TROPICANA (Inverness) and on 07 APR over at NAIRN PLAYHOUSE, I’M A RAVER has more DJs than you can shake a glowstick at inc. CAMMY, GARY MCF, B2B, BAD BOY, RANKIN [4] and ZITKUS. Tickets are selling fast so don’t delay.

And the clubbing attractions don’t end there, with local hip hop funksters SPRING BREAK [5] launching their excellent debut album Tropicaledonia at MAD HATTERS on 14 APR. More about the band and their album overleaf >>>.

If clubbing’s a bit frantic for you there’s still a lot more to to tempt you out, with some fine country in the form of Irish country superstar DEREK RYAN [6] at EDEN COURT on 14 & 15 APR, Glasgow-based RAINTOWN [7] at IRONWORKS on 20 APR and Louisiana’s finest, ROBERT MIZZELL [8] at STRATHPEFFER PAVILION on 27 APR. There’ll be stetsons aplenty.

Local folk and traditional sounds are also well represented at EDEN COURT this month, with SKIPINNISH on 06 & 07 APR, CHRIS STOUT & CATRIONA MACKAY [9] celebrating the release of their new album, Bare Knuckle, on 27 APR and the magnificent DUNCAN CHISHOLM [10] on 29 APR. More folk excellence from SALT HOUSE [11] at EDEN COURT on SAT 14 APR. The trio of multi-instrumentalist Ewan MacPherson (Shooglenifty) and violist/fiddler Lauren MacColl (RANT) is completed by singer-songwriter Jenny Sturgeon—expect to hear plenty of tracks from recently released second LP Undersong, produced by folk-scene heavyweight Andy Bell.

A word too for THE DUBLIN LEGENDS [12] who bring their Seven Drunken Nights and More tour to EDEN COURT on SUN 08 APR. Born out of The Dubliners after the death of founding member Barney McKenna in 2012 and John Sheahans’ retiral, this new incarnation retains just as much energy as the original line-up and a phenomenal array of great songs.

There are even a couple of highly recommended proper rock gigs that you won’t want to miss. On 01 APR, THE LITTLE UNSAID [13] bring their Nick Cave influenced sounds to EDEN COURT while BROKEN RECORDS [14], whose Hootananny appearance several years ago remains one of the finest shows we’ve ever seen, make their long-awaited return with a performance at TOOTH & CLAW on 13 APR, celebrating the 30 MAR release of new album, What We Might Know…

SPECIALS Festivals For All As we pointed out before last year’s INVERNESS SCIENCE FESTIVAL [1], it’s a subject that thanks to the likes of Brian Cox, has actually become cool these days, so expect an eager turnout when it returns from 27 APR–06 MAY. This year’s programme features an exciting public lecture series on topics including geology, marine biology, renewable energy and engineering. The Family Fun Day will take place at INVERNESS LEISURE on SAT 05 MAY where you can try out a range of fun activities with circuit boards, a fruit piano and a “soap bubble man”, whatever that may be.

SIMPSONS GARDEN CENTRE will be hosting the Inverness Science Festival engagement team and Home Energy Scotland on 06 & 07 MAY when you can have a go at identifying birds and making a toucan or a flamingo.You can also head over to the University of the Highlands and Islands STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) Hub at Inverness Campus on the Monday (a bank holiday) to have a go in the STEM Play Zone.

A range of events will take place at High Life Highland venues including INVERNESS LIBRARY, and INVERNESS MUSEUM & ART GALLERY on the Saturday. There will also be Mad Scientists busking at the VICTORIAN MARKET over the weekend.

Full programme at uhi.ac.uk/isf The INVERNESS WHISKY & GIN FESTIVAL [2] is another hugely successful event, so expect much slightly tipsy fun at the Big Day Out at BOGBAIN FARM on 07 APR. There’ll be tastings, advice, bottles for sale and live music throughout the day, plus a pop-up restaurant featuring the very best in Scottish cuisine.

And that Scottish cuisine will no doubt include something being celebrated at yet another festival this month. The HIGHLAND HAGGIS FESTIVAL at SPEAN BRIDGE MEMORIAL HALL on 08 APR is dedicated to our national dish, with eating, drinking and dancing from 11am–4pm.

If you’d rather celebrate the Great Outdoors, albeit while staying inside, the KENDAL MOUNTAIN FESTIVAL at EDEN COURT on 26 APR, an evening packed full of award-winning films, first-hand accounts from captivating explorers and a chance to win a weekend getaway in November. Guest speakers are mountaineer MOLLIE HUGHES, the youngest woman in the world to summit Everest from both the north and south sides, and endurance cyclist MARKUS STITZ, best known for his journey around the world using just one gear on his bike!

SPORT FILM

Like Ya Lycra…

British cycling may be in the news for all the wrong reasons at the moment, but thankfully that doesn’t seem to have tempered the nation’s enthusiasm for the sport, both in terms of being excited about the new season’s racing and, perhaps more importantly, actually participating. One of the hottest tickets for keen cyclists is always ETAPE LOCH NESS which, since its inaugural edition in 2014 has become one of the premier sportives in the whole country, entry for this year’s event on 29 APR selling out in minutes.

That’s hardly surprising as the closed-road 66 mile route, complete with its own King Of The Mountains stage, takes place in the most glorious of settings around Loch Ness.

It starts in Bught Park at the crack of dawn, but there are plenty of opportunities to cheer from the roadside en route and, around lunchtime at the finishing line by Eden Court—where the competitors gather to show off their well-earned medals and restock on calories from a variety of food stalls. Well worth heading along to take in what is quite a spectacle.

House!

Plenty of good stuff on at EDEN COURT this month, as if the people at Creative Scotland need any more reminders that it’s providing a vital cultural service to the Highland community. And there are some big names coming in BINGO! [1] From 19–21 APR. Taking its inspiration from the fact that two million women go to the bingo every week in the UK, this co-production from Grid Iron and Stellar Quines is about Daniella who’s done “a very bad thing” and needs the winnings to make things right or she’ll be forced to resort to desperate measures.

With cracking original songs, a lot of banter and cheeky humour, the cast includes LOUISE MCCARTHY of BBC’s Scot Squad and Two Doors Down, WENDY SEAGER, who played Susan in Killing me Softly and featured in Still Game, BARBARA RAFFERTY, star of River City, Brave New World, Rab C Nesbitt and The Last King of Scotland, and JO FREER who starred in Dundee Rep’s Sunshine on Leith as well as River City.

Get your tickets before they go—it should be good. (Plus see promo page 2/3) As should CRIMES UNDER THE SUN [2] at EC from 17–20 APR presented by awardwinning theatre company New Old Friends. A secluded island hotel just off the English coast becomes a crime scene, as a scandal-inducing femme-fatale is felled. All the guests on the island are suspects—but are they alone and is this the first crime this idyllic island has witnessed? The show features four actors playing multiple outrageous characters, and a plot that romps along in the company’s trademark inventive style.

MOTHER’S RUIN [3] at EC on 28 APR is, as the name suggests, about gin. And it sounds most entertaining, being a darkly comic cabaret taking us on a raucous journey through the history of gin with true tales from 18th-century London, New York speakeasies, the Australian bush and the jungles of Peru. Plus it features songs by Amy Winehouse, Nina Simone, Martha Wainwright and more. Excellent.

If you enjoyed previous groundbreaking shows at Eden Court like Dalloway, The Unremarkable Death of Marilyn Monroe, I, Elizabeth and Austen’s Women, you’ll be excited about the company behind those bringing a radical new interpretation of HG Wells’ THE TIME MACHINE [4] to town on 24 APR. Producer REBECCA VAUGHAN and writer/director Elton Townend Jones take us on a wild ride through time which is part philosophical journey, part nightmare adventure and, perhaps above all, a cautionary tale.

2

Another show inspired by a classic tale comes to EDEN COURT on 13 APR as the GRIMM TALE OF THE HUNTSMAN presents a world where the characters from Grimm’s fairy tales come together in a story of love, jealousy and change—shaken up by the colourful characters and, if you please, “delinquent dwarves”. It’s the first production by Inverness Student Drama Society, devised and organised solely by Inverness College and UHI Inverness students from all academic backgrounds, so fully deserving of your support.

Finally, REMEMBERING FRED [5] at EC on 09 & 10 APR sees Strictly’s ALJAZ SKORJANEC and JANETTE MANRARA pay tribute to dance icon Fred Astaire with an all singing, all dancing show that’s bound to dazzle, while there’ll be laughs aplenty from comedian (and accomplished cook) HARDEEP SINGH KOHLI at NAIRN COMMUNITY & ARTS CENTRE on 14 APR with his show, ‘Alternative, Fact’.
