Leeds International Festival of Ideas – What Can You Laugh About

Well, I suppose it had to happen. The first three events I went to in the LIFI22 were brilliant so it was odds on that the fourth would be a let down, and so it proved. The first thing I need to take issue with is the title, ‘What Can You Laugh About’. This implies…

Leeds International Festival of Ideas – How Do We Talk About Mental Health?

When I was invited to attend LIFI22 I decided to pick four events which had special relevance for me; the first was on architecture, an interest of mine; the second, food, on which I write and overindulge; the fourth is about comedy, something which I am obviously in need of help; and this third offering…

Leeds International Festival of Ideas – Yotam Ottolenghi: Universal Language of Food

I must admit to not having come across Mr Ottolenghi’s work before. He is a chef, restaurateur, author and Guardian food columnist, so admirably placed to inform us about the current thinking on food. He is especially qualified to be the subject of this interview about the Universal Language of Food having family originating from…

Leeds International Festival of Ideas – Kevin McCloud: The (Built) Environment

My first visit to LIFI 22 was to see one of my television heroes, Kevin McCloud, everybody’s favourite architect and designer, who has a way of offering support to self-builders whilst, at the same time, can cast a look in their direction which says ‘Are you serious?’ – or something a little stronger. This event…

The Crossing: Roopa Panesar at Howard Assembly Room

When I walked into Howard Assembly Room on Sunday afternoon I thought that I had accidentally stumbled into a yoga class, with mats laid on the floor. It then dawned on me that this concert was part of their Wellbeing Weekend, so any thoughts of being made to squeeze this rather ample body into lycra…

Leeds Rum Festival at the Corn Exchange

I have been covering this event for several years now and, although I enjoy it, I must say that I am running short of new ideas to make my review a little different from the previous ones. This time I think that I have nailed it. It is always a pleasure to visit the beautiful…

Penguin Cafe at Howard Assembly Room

A few weeks ago I was invited to the press launch of Kino, the cool new wine bar/restaurant in the Howard Assembly Room building, so when I saw Penguin Cafe I thought that they were now catering for uncool people like myself who just wanted a pot of builders’ tea and a chocolate biscuit. Not…

Made In Leeds: Three Short Ballets at Leeds Playhouse

Well, who would have thought it, another new experience just days short of my 73rd birthday – my first ballet. I have watched them on television but, as with any art form which is not specifically made for that medium, the live experience is something else. I am fortunate that Northern Ballet’s winter programme has…

The Importance of Being Earnest at Leeds Playhouse

I must admit to being a bit wary of going to see this production as the press release made it sound über-woke and I am getting a bit tired of classics being manipulated to reflect the attitudes of today, rather than the time in which they were written. As it turned out, this adaptation worked…

Blood Brothers at Leeds Grand Theatre

I doubt that there is any such thing as the perfect musical but in my book this is about as close as it gets. I saw it a few years ago before I set up this website and I was impressed then but I was blown away by last night’s performance. Speaking to other reviewers…
