Waxahatchee @ Forum Theatre (12/2024)
I was back at the beautiful Forum Theatre for my last gig of 2024, the warm harmonies and comforting, country-tinged indie folk.
Wicked – Film Review
Once in a while, a movie will turn out to be a pleasant surprise, and this year it’s the big screen version of a beloved Broadway musical that I initially had zero interest in seeing.
Woman With Cat by Kees Von Dongen
A gorgeous and delicate painting. I love the complementary colours and the tender body language, both from the cat and the woman holding the cat. My own cat will tolerate being held for a couple of seconds tops.
It Follows – Film Review
A horror movie with a simple, original and brilliantly unnerving premise, It Follows may not be perfect but it was effective enough to wreck my night’s sleep afterwards.
St Vincent @ Palais Theatre (11/2024)
I’ve been a fan of Annie Clark a.k.a. St Vincent for over fifteen years and now I finally got to see her solo live show. I pretty much knew that she would be fabulous, but I still didn’t expect to have so much fun.
Solaris by Stanisław Lem – Book Review
This enigmatic classic of science fiction is a dark psychological drama with a very distinctive take on contact with extraterrestrial life.
Heilung @ Palais Theatre (11/2024)
My favourite pagan lords and ladies returned for another primal, mesmerising, out-of-this-world performance.
