I Like Trains at Howard Assembly Room

In 1974 I was at the flicks when there was a gasp from the audience as the whole place began to shake. The reason was that it was an old cinema which had been converted into a double screen place and the movie showing in the other auditorium was called Earthquake. It used a new…

La traviata Opera North at Leeds Grand Theatre

The Opera North Winter/Spring Season has kicked off with a classic. La traviata by Verdi has all the the core ingredients of an opera; forbidden love, death, redemption, family fall-outs, big scenes, quiet moments and bangin’ tunes! The story is that of a glamorous Parisienne courtesan, Violetta, who, let’s just say, enjoys a good night…

Christmas Market at Leeds Corn Exchange

How did that happen? I am sure that we have been through a time warp as it only seems like a couple of months ago since I was at the opening of last year’s Christmas Market. I honestly don’t recall putting my hands on my hips or bringing my knees in tight, and, as for…

Opera North Season – Special Offer.

Thursday, 29th September sees the start of the 2022-23 Opera North Season with a staging of La traviata at Leeds Grand Theatre. I have taken my posh frock to the cleaners in anticipation. This is the first of six operas being staged between now and next March with a mixture of classic and less well…

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…
