Artistic Possibilities
There was a time when video art was seen as truly radical with lots of talk of interventions
and deconstructing the post-modernist model, but in recent times the genre itself has
become not only overused, but also diluted to the point where theres not that much
difference between an installation and what some of us might just call a film. Still, there
are some doing interesting things with it, like RACHEL MACLEAN, whose LET IT GO is at
IMAG until 22 AUG. Using green screen technology she constructs fantasy narratives starring
herself in a variety of costumes and dialogue sourced from YouTube. Is it art? Perhaps,
perhaps not, but its certainly entertaining.
Also at IMAG until 22 AUG is DANISH DIASPORA: SCOTLAND SEEN THROUGH DANISH
EYES. While you cant imagine anyone wanting to leave such a lovely place as Denmark, here
is some work by artists who have done just that and now call Scotland home. Rooted in and
inspired by Scotlands wild scenery, pieces include ceramics, jewellery, baskets and boxes.
The five artists (LISE BECH, LILIAN BUSCH, LOTTE GLOB, NICKOLAI GLOBE and METTE
FRUERGAARD-JENSEN) have exhibited nationally and internationally.
IMAG currently occupies one of the ugliest external spaces in town, but for a sense of what
could be done differently, head across the river to EDEN COURT where theres an interesting
exhibition running throughout August. Space Agency Inverness has collaborated with Kerr AT
architects for something called 6 POSSIBLE THINGS BEFORE BREAKFAST... (a title inspired
by Alice in Wonderland), an entertaining work of half a dozen imaginative, startling but,
importantly, possible Inverness City Centre Architectural ideas. Each proposal aims to
improve the environment and create a more enjoyable Inverness. Be inspired.
Talking of enjoyable, KILMORACK GALLERY is always just that. Theyve three shows running
from 12 AUG12 SEP. ROCK OF AGES [1] showcases ALLAN MACDONALDs paintings of
the Scottish landscape, particularly the wild North and Shetland Isles; NORTHERN LIGHT [2]
features the sublime watercolours of PETER DAVIS; and THE UNBEARABLE BRIGHTNESS OF
BEING [3] features the playful, Lowryesque paintings of JAMES NEWTON ADAMS portraying
daily life on Skye and the islands glorious landscape.

What IS a Super Hero?

So, Belladrum Festival this year is themed Superheroes, which perhaps captures the
zeitgeist, what with so many cinema releases from the Marvel and DC universes forming a
queue to try to break box office records. This month, indeed, sees FANTASTIC FOUR [1]
arrive (Vue fr 06 AUG) newly re-vamped by very-rated-by-those-in-the-know director Josh
Trank (Chronicle) to be a little more gritty and grown-up more Cronenberg than the 05
Silver Surfer version. On the other end of the scale box-office-wise, this month you can also
see THE SALT OF THE EARTH [2] (EC, 23-29) a documentary about Brazilian photographer
Sebastio Salgado, made by German auteur, playwright, author (and also photographer),
Wim Wenders, in conjunction with the subjects son, Juliano Ribeiro Salgado. When you see
the powerful human truths of Salgados work, the places hes put himself, the things hes
seen who could say he is not, in fact, a super hero? If this is not your sort of thing, then
this film is the perfect opportunity to challenge yourself to be brave and try something you
wouldnt normally. Wed be highly surprised if you werent suprised.
Heroes of other denominations appear in such diverse delights as Guy Ritchies revised
THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. [3] (Vue 14), with Armie Hammer and Henry Cavill; STRAIGHT
OUTTA COMPTON [4] (Vue, 14) drama about the awesome NWA (feat, Ice Cube played by
his own son aah); and PIXELS [5] (Vue, 08), in which our digital friends - PacMan, Donkey
Kong, etc - turn up from space to destroy us all. Oops. [NB: Sandler alert].
Comedic films are out in summer holiday force - literally, in the form of VACATION [6]
(Vue, 21), the latest National Lampoon outing (complete with cameos from Chevy Chase
and Beverly DAngelo), starring comedy stalwarts Ed Helms, Christina Applegate, Leslie
Mann and, erm, Chris Hemsworth; then theres ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING (Vue, 14) - Simon
Pegg, Kate Beckinsale, Robin Williams and Eddie Izzard directed by Pythons Terry Jones,
who is joined by the rest of his gang as aliens (obv); TRAINWRECK (Vue, 28) pitches at
Bridesmaids kinda territory, with Amy Schumer and Bill Hader directed by Judd Apatow;
whilst MASTERMINDS (Vue, 07) features the irresistible combination of Zach Galifianakis
with Owen Wilson and Kristen Wiig. Mmmm.
Wiig swaps comedy for poignant drama in DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL (Vue 07; EC 21),
her daughter Bel Powleys first sexual experience happens to be with her moms boyfriend,
Alexander Skarsgrd. Double oops. Also worthy of note at Eden Court: Robert Carlyles
directorial debut, THE LEGEND OF BARNEY THOMSON [7] (07-20), a macabre dark
comedy; not disimilar in some ways, to French slapstick murder mystery, PTIT QUINQUIN
(07-09); then theres SOUTHPAW (28-03); SHES FUNNY THAT WAY (14-18); MAGIC MIKE
XXL (21-25); RUTH AND ALEX (21-27); PANTANI: THE ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF A CYCLIST
(27); and GOING CLEAR: SCIENTOLOGY AND THE PRISON OF BELIEF (08-10) which
those crazy, crazy lizard-and-money-lovin lunatics dont want you to see...

Playing In The Garden
MUSIC
KIDS
The folk at EDEN COURT have increasingly utilised new performance spaces rather than just the
purpose built theatres and one of the most successful moves was the introduction last year of the
Big White Tent in the front garden. Great to see that its back again from 1216 AUG hosted by
NICOLE & MARTIN [1], wholl be presenting four award-winning shows combining theatre, song,
acrobatics and a celebration of storytelling. And these are tales that draw on that fine European
tradition of sprinkling a little darkness into proceedings, investing the yarns with goosebumps that
always appeal to kids.
SPORT
SPECIALS
On 13 AUG its THE FISHERMAN AND HIS WIFE in which an enchanted fish grants a fisherman
and his wife any wishes they ask for, a rollercoaster of a show bracketed by performances of
HANSEL & GRETEL on 12 & 16 AUG. The latter is typical of that aforementioned darkness being
ostensibly a story of child abduction, but theres a happy ending and plenty of thrills and spills
along the way. Similarly THE GIRL WITH NO HANDS on 14 AUG doesnt exactly hold back on its
central premise as a foolish father somehow manages to make a pact whereby his daughter loses
her hands, but it turns into a delightfully performed piece involving humour and even a tightrope.
Fourth of the shows is THE BREMEN TOWN MUSICIANS on 15 AUG which finds a donkey, a dog,
a cat and a rooster heading off to Bremen to start a new life as town musicians, a scenario which
we can all agree sounds perfectly feasible. The whole thing sounds like a delight and lets hope the
Big White Tent becomes a regular yearly fixture.
THEATRE
The Singing Kettle used to be regular visitors and still occupy a cherished place in the hearts of
a generation of Scots, so their recent decision to call it a day was sad news for many. We should
have known that you cant keep troupers down for long and SKs Gary has teamed up with Anya and
Kevin to form the FUNBOX crew, who are bringing their show PIRATES AND PRINCESSES [2] to
EDEN COURT on 22 & 23 AUG. Youngsters are encouraged to come along dressed as said pirates
and princesses for a singalong adventure involving trying to find the keys to open the magical
Funbox, with contributions from Bonzo The Dog and a host of new friends.

Get Yer Wellies On

Glastonbury and T In The Park are all very well, but its the festivals closer to home
that are cranking into action this month. Beginning with something thats pretty
much earned the right to be called a Highland Treasure, BELLADRUM TARTAN
HEART FESTIVAL from 0608 AUG. The shindig sells out in moments these days,
especially since the introduction of a Thursday night performance, so its to its
credit that it makes the effort to actually turn the experience of attending into
something special. This year its THE PROCLAIMERS [1] that get the Thursday slot,
with performances to look forward to from MANIC STREET PREACHERS [2] (read
our interview with the always entertaining Nicky Wire on P22), KAISER CHIEFS [3],
MARTHA REEVES & THE VANDELLAS [4], VILLAGERS [5], FATHERSON, NEON
WALTZ, HONEYBLOOD [6], THE STRANGLERS, MACFLOYD and many, many more.
Plus loads of dance action on the Mothers Ruin stage and a finer setting than any in
the land (even including hot tubs!). Theres a superhero theme, so expect countless
folk in tights.
For a brief time the summer festival circuit up here also included RockNess, but
that one kind of ate itself, leaving not just a cultural gap, but also a physical one
at that glorious lochside location at Dores. Both will hopefully be filled by the debut
incarnation of GROOVE LOCH NESS on 31 JUL & 01 AUG. Going back to the roots
of what attracted many to RockNess in the first place, the emphasis is very much
on dance music and clubbing. GROOVE ARMADA [7] headline and youll also be
able to do your thang to 2 MANY DJs [8], German producer TENSNAKE [9], Sub
Clubs HARRI & DOMENIC, B-TRAITS [10], ELI AND FUR [11] and jocks from
HECTORS HOUSE in Edinburgh and our very own FILTH and FUGAZY.
Another relatively new event is the INSIDER FESTIVAL, but theres a twist to this
years event taking place in STRATHSPEY on 22 AUG as it takes in a safari by
steam train with punters urged to dress as either wild animals or big game hunters.
Were not entirely sure why either, but it should be fun and theres music from
SPRING BREAK [12], HECTOR BIZERK [13] and many more. And the whole safari
is crowdfunded so to give your support go to the Insider Festival Facebook page.
Its not all festivals this month with some good one-off gigs, particularly for fans of
folk and traditional sounds. Best of the bunch, all at EDEN COURT look like being
the always engaging ALY BAIN & PHIL CUNNINGHAM [14] on 29 AUG and the
lively bluegrass of GORDIE MACKEEMAN & HIS RHYTHM BOYS [15] on 19 AUG.

In 1998 Marco Pantani won both the Tour de France

However, less than six years later, aged just 34, he
died alone, in a cheap Italian hotel room. Pantani

Back On The Bike

By the time you read this, the Tour De France will have ended and, if things have gone to plan,
will be looked back on as the best edition of the race in 30 years. Perhaps itll even inspire more
people to get on their bikes, in which case theyll be eager to participate in the BRITISH HEART
FOUNDATION LOCH NESS BIKE RIDE [1] on 22 AUG. The 70 mile route takes you on a scenic
but tough ride along quiet country lanes along the south side of Loch Ness to Fort Augustus
before turning around and heading back to Inverness. It includes a few tough climbs, the most
challenging being the climb out of Fort Augustus. The 50-mile route also starts out from Inverness
and offers a stunning circular ride around the south side of the Loch.
Theres a wealth of great cycling events up here and one of the best, ETAPE LOCH NESS has just
announced that next years ride is to take place on 24 APR. A long way off, but places go fast, so
if you want to be informed the moment theyre up for grabs, go to etapelochness.com
Something a little more sedentary, though just as enthusiastic comes in the form of HIGHLAND
SUMMER DARTS CHALLENGE at IRONWORKS on 28 AUG. This, the latest arrers event in
Inverness, features ALAN NORRIS (2014 World Championship Runner Up) SCOTT MITCHELL
(Current BDO World Champion) KEEGAN BROWN (Current World Youth Champion) and KIM
HUYBRECHTS (2015 Premier League Player).
Finally the football season is back and both ICT and ROSS COUNTY will be hoping to start the
new campaign like they ended the last one. Caley Thistle even had an early start in the form of a
Europa League tie, but the Scottish Premiership is their bread and butter, so theyll be hoping for
another top five finish at least. Theyre at home to MOTHERWELL on 01 AUG, to PARTICK on 12
AUG and HAMILTON on 22 AUG. County host HAMILTON on 08 AUG, HEARTS on 15 AUG and
DUNDEE UTD on 29 AUG.

What the Dickens?!

Its quite a month at EDEN COURT for fans of a Dickensian vibe, kicking off with
SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE RIPPER MURDERS [1] from 0608 AUG. The show,
written by Brian Clemens, smartly elides two of the most notable figures from the days
of pea-soupers and threepenny fumbles, even if one is fictional and the other could have
been anyone from painter Walter Sickert or the Duke of Clarence to the Queens surgeon
or a psychopathic migr. In this yarn there are freemasons, conspiracies and plots
at the highest level of the establishment but for Holmes, there is a uniquely personal
element to this investigation. Should be rather good.
Sticking with a world of rickets, ragamuffins and right royal shenanigans, you cant really
go wrong with Lionel Barts wonderful OLIVER! (EC, 1215 AUG). Its being put on by
the excellent Starlight Musical Theatre, whose previous successes include acclaimed
productions of Jesus Christ Superstar, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and West Side
Story, so expect it to be pretty top notch. Bart sold away the rights to the show for a
pittance, so it never really made him the riches he deserved, but the songs are so good
and the tale so universally gripping, that its sure to provide a legacy to his memory that
will last a hundred years.
Someone who is reaping the reward of having the common touch is comedian KEVIN
BRIDGES [2]. In the space of a few short years hes gone from relative unknown to the
countrys most famous Scottish comedian and someone whose appeal even seems to
have stretched to Middle England. We still think theres definitely something a bit fishy
about him looking a good decade older than he actually is, but theres no denying his
talents including a fresh Scots comic sensibility that can move from gentle observation
to absolute filth in the blink of an eye. His shows at EDEN COURT 2528 AUG will be
packed to the rafters and these days actually count as intimate shows for him.
If you prefer your comedic culture a little more classical, youd do well to head
to CAWDOR CASTLE on 30 AUG for a production of TWELFTH NIGHT [3] by the
acclaimed Lord Chamberlains Men, a troupe whove made quite a name for
themselves by performing the Bards work in a style authentic to when it was
created. This, the most famous of Shakespeares romantic comedies may seem a
tad simplistic (or baffling) in its quest for laughs to modern eyes and ears, but youll
come away having enjoyed it all, guaranteed.

Where is Love and more!
by Marie Jones; Directed by

Alasdair McCrone. County
Kerry, Ireland. A rural
community is turned upside
down by the arrival of an
American film crew on location
to capture real Ireland
for their latest Hollywood
blockbuster. The hugely
successful comedy was a
Fringe hit, had a phenomenal
West End run, won an
Olivier Awards for Best New
Comedy, and was nominated
for three Tony Awards.

SHERLOCK HOLMES AND

THE RIPPER MURDERS @
Eden Court, 8pm. Sherlock
Holmes and Dr Watson
are drawn into one of the
darkest plots ever to shake
the foundations of England.
The grisly serial killings of
prostitutes and vulnerable
women in Whitechapel,
dubbed by the popular
press as the work of Jack
the Ripper, are the talk of
Victorian London. There are
freemasons, conspiracies
and plots at the highest
level of the establishment
but for Holmes, there is a
uniquely personal element
to this investigation.

Six month smiles provides a simple and very effective
solution to improve your smile without having to
remove healthy teeth or wear braces for several years.
Some Advantages include:

Average treatment time is 6 months
Clear brackets and wires are barely visible
The specialist Six Month Smile patient tray kits mean
your appointment times are short and comfortable.
Low forces are involved meaning treatment is more
comfortable and your teeth are kept healthy.
Short overall treatment time means hygiene can be
maintained more easily.
Less expensive than conventional orthodontic
treatment.

Cradlehall Business Park, Inverness IV2 5GH
01463 794304 eilertsen-dentalcare.co.uk
Some of our other most popular COSMETIC

TREATMENTS include tooth whitening, tooth
coloured fillings, anti-wrinkle treatments.
Demand for medical aesthetics has increased greatly
over the last few years and so we started offering
ANTI-WRINKLE TREATMENTS for both
upper and lower portions of the face.
We can use botox and filler products to gently reduce
the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, gently
plump areas you have lost volume or give you that
fuller lip if that is what you feel you have always
missed.
These treatments are very quick and easy and since
we can easily give you a little local anaesthetic you
can get the results you want without having to feel
a thing.
You can find more information on our website or if
you are interested please do not hesitate to come
in for a free facial aesthetics or six month smiles
consultation.

Making The Most Of You:
tness
Listen y self tter...
Kit yourself out with a smartphone armband

Exercise. You love it, you hate it, you do it (if you don t, you ll already have icked past
this page). Music helps it can provide a rhythm to mindlessly exercise in time to, can
provide a dynamic lift and lull to suit varied intensity workouts and can even prove
motivational.
When you don t have something occupying that part of your brain, it is often very hard
to get away from focussing on the pain, the discomfort of your activity. No matter how
much you try to divert yourself with thoughts of what to have for dinner, musing on
possible outcomes to the Greek bail out crisis or trying to get all zen on yourself, sooner
or later you check to see how long you ve been exercising - more to the point, how
long do you have left to endure your physical challenge.
So, we want music and are probably going to want to play it from our phone / ipod
or somesuch. You don t really want to run with it on your hand (and many of us do!) that s far too hazardous. If you ve a pocket or pouch the right size that s ne - so long as
it fastens/zips to keep your device safe. But then there s the joggling about with your
beloved tech clanging o your hip/chest/butt and anyway, what about if you don t
have pockets or if it s too hot to be wear your jacket/trousers with pocket, etc, etc?
Get an armband, that s what. There are many on the market but one keeps appearing
near the top of most of the top 5 s from the wonderfully named womens activity/
tech gear brand, Sweaty Betty.
The Sweaty Betty Media Armband
is breathable, comfortable, with an
adjustable (velcro) strap and a touchthrough screen so you can operate
your phone while you exercise
- and it ts most smart phones.
It also has a safety-conscious
reective strip/logo to help
keep you visible.
Job done.

EATING
OUT
Nourish
105-107 Church Street, Inverness

There are claimed to be around
150,000 vegan folk in the UK in
any event, we know it is considerably
less than 1%. In the good ol futureembracing US of A however, that
number is more like 2.5% something
like seven and a half million people!
Bill Clinton and Al Gore are apparently
vegan, sos Flo Rida and Jessica
Chastain, whilst the worlds actual
classiest ladeee, Beyonc, went
vegan for just long enough to stumble
into a vegan restaurant in a fox collar
and then go out on a seafood binge to
celebrate her fur pas.
So, you know, some people are vegan,
some people arent life goes on.
And whilst once upon a time a vegan
invariably had a dog on a string (ahh,
how I miss scum punk), these days you
cant even tell by looking. Perhaps just
as well - as Chamillionaire pointed out
in his vegan anarchist anthem, They
see me rollin, they hatin, and I dont
think any of us wants to see a return to
the murky days of drive-by vegan baiting.
But whats all this extremism got
to do with you? Well, Inverness has
01463 250 589
an almost (but not quite) vegan

restaurant. Oh yes it has. You know the
Riverdale Centre on Church Street?
(You dont? Then where on earth do
you go for your cranio-sacral therapy?)
Well, along with its organic caf it is
now called Nourish and they boast a
(very affable as it turns out) new vegan
chef and revised, largely vegan (some
vegetarian) menu. So how could we
resist, dear reader, when we know you
so love a challenge?
Want to know how to get there? Well, if
youre the wrong side of the river (sorry
Eden Court, you know its true), then
go to the bouncy bridge by Riverhouse
Restaurant, bounce over, keep straight
on up the alley and lo!, its on your
left; if youre on Gods own side then
amble beyond your comfort zone down
Church Street (ie past Hootananny)
and keep going until you see the alley
for the bouncy bridge on your left
and several chalkboards regaling you
with the wonders of todays specials,
cakes and complimentary therapies.
Its a little bit not like the Tardis - smaller
on the inside than in appears from the
outside - but dont let that put you off.
We rolled in, three tyros intent on a wild

afternoon of wine, women and wagyu
quickly realised our mistake, and rather
than our usual trash the place and hit
Wetherspoons, we instead formed a
new-age triptych, all temples-for-bodies
and concern for the planet. Did you
know that we grow 16kg of grain to
produce 1kg of meat? While one billionish people are starving-ish? Or that your
per-acre yield of soya beans is about
17 times higher than beef? And the
amount of water used to produce meat
is around 30 showers per burger (that
ones my favourite)?
Nourish are not about the dogma
or politics though (no vegan-army
pamphlets here), theyre more about
providing the choice I guess - and a
tasty choice it turns out to be.
Whilst not necessarily a three course
meal kinda place, we just went that
way. Butternut Squash Soup and
Broccoli & Lemon Soup opened
up proceedings the former was
a triumph substantial and sweet,
seasoned to perfection; the latter
was interesting - very flavourful

With a little more pizzaz presentationwise this would draw oohs in the

Which makes me think stick them in a
bowl and add a welcome ladle of cream
and youd have a complete dessert. But
what about the vegans, you ask? Now,
there are many strange things I happen
to know that most of you wouldnt want
to know (I put them aside in a tiny drawer
by the typewriter, marked special,
so you dont have to be troubled by
things like the true nature of black
holes, how Andy Murray could have
beaten Mr Federer, the ugly truth about
nationalism, how the NHS could be
twice as good for half the money or what
how it is that you can feel both big and
small at precisely the same time) but
one of them appropriate for today is that
there is a product by Belgish company
Alpro, called Coconut Cuisine, which
is without a doubt the most creamy
substance known to mankind. Yet it is
free from dairy, gluten and wheat. And
it is more-ish and delicious - so would
absolutely suit being drizzled generously
over any of the fine, fine cakes Nourish
have to offer. Unless you dont like the
taste of coconut, of course.
Anyway you can try that one at home
(thanks Tesco) but you could do
worse than head to Nourish to check
out all they have to offer. And youll be
giving the animals a day off.

The Magic Roundabout
Award-winning innovation from LINA

What do this stylish set of poufs have in common with The Monkees Mickey Dolenz and
pint-sized, quad-loving Canadian gure skater of yore, Elvis Stojko?
Oh, come on chaps, you can do better than that at least try to rise above the obvious.
No, the answer is (and well done if you got this) that they all have their roots in Slovenia
- in the case of the furniture, specically from design house, LINA.
Their new modular system Roundabout comprises a series of sitting elements of
varying dimensions that can be used in isolation or combination as coee tables, chairs
or bar stools. They are made of plywood plus high density foam fabric colours that come
in a wide range of tasteful, contemporary colours.
What s clever is that they attach to one another with exible joints, and as each one
can rotate round another this makes for an almost unlimited number of possible
compositions of rows or clusters making them equally suited to dierent rooms, from
large expansive spaces to small, narrow hallways.
This innovation has seen them pick up a bunch of design awards this year which should
ensure we start seeing them appear in swanky design-conscious hotels , airports or
homes around the globe.

I enjoy chatting to other runners on the bus trip out to

the start. Its great to talk with people at the back of the
field before the race gets underway, to hear their stories
and to share experiences. Many of them tend to be
doing their first marathon so I try to help them out with a
bit of advice.
Its great once you get going
and the course is beautiful along
Loch Ness, its really enjoyable and
when we reach the village of Dores
theres always people out cheering
us along and offering the runners
jelly babies.
If youre inspired to join Terry, then
charity, club and overseas places
are still available until 7 September.
