FEATURES 158.indd 16 15/09/2015 22:40 MUSIC 2 CLASSICAL CLUBBING FOLK JAZZ/WORLD ROCK Better Together? 1 The long awaited Smiths reunion might have to be put off for a while, but at least we get to see JOHNNY MARR [1] on the same stage as Morrissey. Admittedly, the latter’s appearance at IRONWORKS was over a year ago, whereas Marr is appearing on 13 OCT, but that’s as close as they’re going to get to bringing the gang back together. And there are bound to be a few old Smiths classics as well as plenty of Johnny’s well-received solo stuff, 3 the man further establishing himself as one of the great British guitarists of modern times.

MUSIC Technical excellence on show as well at BLAZIN’ IN BEAULY [2] from 11–16 OCT. Now in its fourteenth year, this week-long immersion in Highland musical culture involves masterclasses, workshops, celebratory sessions and much more with the added bonus this year of the launch of the new Blazin’ Fiddles album, a fi tting centrepiece for that band’s Bruce McGregor whose idea BIB was in the fi rst place. More details of all events at blazininbeauly.com

4 It’s a great month for fans of folk in all its incarnations and, indeed, collaborations. It doesn’t come much better than the trio [3] at UNIVERSAL HALL, FINDHORN on 23 OCT when, sharing their Celtic, Nordic and Appalachian cultures are ALY BAIN, Scotland’s supreme traditional style fi ddler, Swedish multi-instrumentalist ALE MÖLLER, and American old time fi ddler, singer, guitarist and banjo player BRUCE MOLSKY. If you’ve seen them play together before, you’ll testify as to what a fi ne ensemble they are. 5 Another fi ne musical meeting comes in the form of KATHRYN ROBERTS & SEAN LAKEMAN [4], who play GLEN URQUHART HALL on 09 OCT. The latter is Seth’s older brother and just as talented, while Roberts is from Barnsley like fellow folk nightingale Kate Rusby with whom she started out as a duo. The twosome constantly win folk awards the world over and here’s a chance to fi nd out why they’re held in such high regard. 6 Another duo for your delectation in BILL WELLS & AIDAN MOFFAT [5], two of the most reliably unpredictable musicians in Scotland and rarely less than captivating. Having met while working on Arab Strap’s Monday at the Hug & Pint, AS founder Aidan Moffat and jazz virtuoso (who actually doesn’t really make jazz) Bill Wells vowed to make an album together. The result was Everything’s Getting Older, an album of rare beauty and intelligence that picked up the inaugural Scottish 7 Album of the Year. Their follow up, The Most Important Place in the World, sees Moffat “speaking, snarling and singing candid stories of domesticity and devilry to exquisite jazz infl ected melodies”. Their show at EDEN COURT on 13 OCT promises to be extraordinary and Wells may even play some stuff from his forthcoming album of interpretations of nursery rhymes. Finally, also recommended are the increasingly assured RACHEL SERMANNI [6] at EDEN COURT on 05 OCT, mesmerizing Southern songwriter (and ex hubby of the glorious Nanci Griffi th), ERIC TAYLOR [7] at EDEN COURT on 11 OCT and the welcome return of 8 Scouse britpoppers CAST [8] at IRONWORKS on 17 OCT. 16 > CLUBBING > CLASSICAL > FOLK > JAZZ/WORLD > ROCK > MORE… > 17

The Dingwall team are on a roll, with lots of good things being said about gaffer Jim McIntyre [1], who’s proving to be one of the best coaches in the land. The recent launch of County’s own online TV station (rosscounty.tv) gives you an opportunity to fi nd out more about how he thinks, along with loads of features and interviews with the team. Caley Thistle meanwhile are going into this game on a dreadful run, the team beset by injuries and a sense from many fans that the board have failed to capitalise on the glorious opportunities presented by last season’s success. Inevitable though it may have been, the sale of Ryan Christie to Celtic is a further blow, though at least he’s back on loan until Christmas, so get along and see his extended farewell.

More rivalry on show at the annual SCOTLAND V IRELAND SHINTY/HURLING [2] match at BUGHT PARK on 24 OCT. This curious bringing together of the two sports does work surprisingly well, even if the scoring system remains a bit of a mystery. The Scotland Senior and U21 Men Squads will compete against their Irish counterparts in an attempt to prove that they’re just as good at their opponents’ sport. And it’ll get physical.

It seems that every month there’s a run worth watching/participating in and October is no exception, the CULLODEN RUN [3] taking place on 25 OCT. And there’s a clever link with the place where it’s held as the 17.46k run pays homage to the Battle of Culloden in 1746, providing a scenic but testing route for runners as it passes the prehistoric Clava Cairns and under the imposing railway viaduct over the River Nairn. The Culloden 10K will provide a fl atter and faster course for runners and joggers of all standards looking to run in an historic landscape. Recognising the sanctity and historic status of the battlefi eld the running routes will have no impact or presence on or near the actual battlefi eld site or associated monuments. It’s organised by Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland in partnership with the National Trust for Scotland. More: tinyurl.com/ngkmpbs 1 2 3

While it’s always good to see other companies bringing their shows to Eden Court, some of the venue’s most laudable moments have come from their own productions. Following success in recent years with Para Handy and Never Land, Eden Court is hoping to impress once again with their latest in house production, NOT ABOUT HEROES [5]. Written by Stephen MacDonald and based on true events, the story centres around the relationship between wartime poets, Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, who met in an Edinburgh Hospital in 1917. It opens at EDEN COURT itself from 01–03 OCT, then after a brief sojourn to Glasgow, Edinburgh and St Andrews, it tours much of the Highlands from 14–24 OCT. See listings for where and when to catch this compelling show… One company that can always be relied on to deliver excellent productions is SCOTTISH BALLET [1] and they’re at EDEN COURT with a couple of interesting shows. First off, on 02 & 03 OCT is a double bill of Motion of Displacement and Elsa Canasta. The former is a world premiere of a piece by rising star of choreography, the American Bryan Arias, inspired by 2 3 childhood memories of his mother’s journey from her native land in pursuit of love with music by Bach and John Adams, performed live by the Scottish Ballet Orchestra. The latter is a Scottish Ballet premiere of a creation by Javier de Frutos, who has not only made a full length ballet with the Pet Shop Boys and choreographed many music videos, but also been nominated 4 5 for a Turner Prize. Elsa Canasta is a dark, funny and sexy evocation of the music of Cole Porter, including music hall magic, a live singer and some wonderful dance. Miss at your peril. Scottish Ballet are touring Scotland in partnership with Dance Base to introduce the world to PRIME [2], Scotland’s fi rst semi-professional dance company for the over 60s. This radical new company enjoys performing progressive and creative choreography and empowering

THEATRE other seniors to explore new possibilities in life and dance, challenging assumptions about who can be a dancer.

Finally on the ballet front, THE TROCKS [3], aka Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo 4 5 6 come to EDEN COURT on 23 OCT for a dragged-up mix of comedy and genuine balletic skills. Should be fun. It really is a great month for theatre, and there’s barely enough space to sing the praises of the highlights - two Scottish Opera productions, CARMEN [6] (EC, 27-31 OCT) and COSI FAN TUTTE (EC, 17 OCT); Solar Bear Theatre’s play about a deaf young man adapting to a hearing world, TRIBES (EC, 22 OCT); the high-octane cabaret of comedy, “dark puppetry” and more that is BORIS & SERGEY’S VAUDEVILLIAN ADVENTURE [6] (EC, 08 OCT), and MICHELLE MCMANUS’ REALITY - THE MUSICAL [4] (EC, 21 OCT) in which the Pop Idol winner belts out plenty of show tunes as well as recounting what Cowell and the rest are really like.
