Hi, howre you doin? In the spirit of our cover star,
the impulsively brilliant Phil Kay, were ad-libbing this
foreword. We could go anywhere. Could a black hole
simply be something moving away (relatively) at greater
than the speed of light? Could a cow milk a human?
Anywhere. In fact, this is always true. Your whole life

could go anywhere, any minuteand despite that being
true for every life ever lived, we somehow nd it scary.

 ART
Past, Present & Future
One of our favourite galleries is KILMORACK and theyre celebrating their 20th year with
a forthcoming exhibition featuring artists old and new. Fittingly, one of them is ALLAN
MACDONALD [1] who has been exhibiting at the gallery ever since it opened, in which
time he has acquired quite a reputation for his powerful impasto paintings capturing
the transient quality of nature. MacDonalds most recent pieces celebrate winter
and the welcome signs of new life in spring. COLIN BROWN [2] is an internationally
respected collage artist and this is his first major body of new work created specifically
for Kilmorack Gallery. His work combines the loose splash of paint with his playful and
intelligent collages. Few artists evolve their work as dramatically as ROBERT MCAULAY
[3], and these latest paintings are no exception. All of them embody the features of
his finest worksbeautiful colours, absorbing texture and a sense of poetic place.
There are over fifteen new works in this exhibition including a new series of bright loose
landscape entitled Pools, a series of apartment blocks or buildings which he has
called Communities, red tree paintings and other works which reflect our needs for
wild spaces, even in the urban setting. The work of ANNETTE EDGAR [4] is a welcome
addition to Kilmoracks stable of artists. Eight new paintings in this show demonstrate
why she is considered one of Scotlands most interesting inheritors of the colourist
tradition. Here she uses paint to explore her love of young people and the world they
inhabit. ANN WEGMULLER [5] brings colours together with an almost symphonic skill.
Her latest works, painted specifically for this exhibition at Kilmorack, are shown for the
first time and are inspired by winter walks around her rural Perthshire studio.

Some fine established artists there then, but what about the future? Well there could well
be some new talent revealed by the winners of the TESCO BANK ART COMPETITION
FOR SCHOOLS. Each year, the competition attracts entries from children throughout
Scotland, 7,500 of them this time round, with works in the National Galleries collection
chosen to provide inspiration. 53 winning young artists were commended in their
respective categories at the awards ceremony at the Scottish National Gallery, where
they also saw their artwork go on display to the public for the very first time. And the
exhibition of winners is coming to EDEN COURT from 03 MAR27 APR.

CASTLE GALLERY
HOMELAND TO MAINLAND,
3-25 March, Watercolour
Paintings of Harris and Inverness
by EDWARD MACMILLAN. As
proprietor of the most northerly
specialist, fine art materials
shop in Scotland, Artmedia in
Inverness, Edward has been
well placed to experiment with
various media and watercolour
paints to create lively and
impressive paintings, drawing
on his original training at Grays
School of Art. The title of the
show, Homeland to Mainland
refers to the dual inspiration
for the show. His paintings are
evocative of Harris in the Outer
Hebrides, home to his ancestors
and also of the bustle of city
life in Inverness. Edwards says:
Both my parents were from
South Harris and I have always
been inspired by the diverse
landscape. I am inspired by
the sense of space, colour,
texture, and in particular, the
rock formations which are a
strong feature of my work. I
initially draw the subject matter
en plein air and then work up
a more detailed drawing in the
studio in preparation for the
painting. castlegallery.co.uk

DISCOVERING RED, GREEN

2015 Chris White took regular
trips to this highland wilderness,
recording the changing seasons
and the unique views that only
the highlands can offer.
GIFTS FOR A JACOBITE PRINCE
7 Mar 20 May, A highlight
tour organised by National
Museums Scotland. Touring in
advance of the opening of a
major exhibition at the National
Museum of Scotland, these are
not weapons of war but symbols
of power and status. The sword
and the targe, or Highland
shield, were probably gifted to
Prince Charles Edward Stuart,
by James, 3rd Duke of Perth,
a committed supporter of the
Jacobite cause. Discovered after
the battle of Culloden, the targe
was recovered by a Jacobite
clan chief, while tradition states
that the sword was found
by government troops and
presented to their Commander,
the Duke of Cumberland.
NORA FOK: NEW THREADS
4 Mar 15 April, This exhibition
represents a selection of Nora
Foks work from the past six
years and was commissioned
by the Harley Gallery. Her
work examines the interaction
between art and science.
Mathematics and the three
dimensional structures
underlying lifes natural forms
are the starting points for
these new series. The resulting
pieces occupy territory between
bodywear and sculpture. There
will be three themes: Exploring
Flax which led her to develop
a new thread combining nylon
and flax; Magic of Nature this
section shows the latest pieces
resulting from Noras continuing
fascination with natural
forms and the ability of nylon
threads; and New Forms, New
Technologies where she uses
3D printing to create sculptural
forms strongly influenced by
the mathematical/structural
philosophy of Buckminster Fuller.

entitled squeezed trees and
communities.
ANN WEGMULLER brings colours

few British artists possess. Her

studio. kilmorackgallery.co.uk
MORAY ART CENTRE
JOANNA WILSON, to 05 Mar,
The connection between
technology and humans has
inspired my work throughout the
last 17 years. This exhibition
shows the juxtaposition of
these two contrasting and
increasingly connected worlds.
The artificial, coded, rigid
graphics meet the natural, free
and unpredictable human form. I
use the technological processes
of scanning, digitally editing and
printing images before I paint or
draw them. I explore the blurred
boundaries between chaos and
control, the cerebral and the
physical: where is evolution
taking us?

watercolour paintings.

Cinema Crazier Than Tr*mp!
If youd have said to us a couple of years ago the main new releases for March
2017 will be a Power Rangers movie, a new King Kong take, another Wolverine film,
the latest Smurfs adventure and CHiPS, the 70s TV show brought to the big screen
for the first time, wed have been well within our rights to a) have thought you were
crazy lying and/or b) go jump off the biggest cliff we could find on Skull Island.
However, it seems like crazy, stupid you was right
Possibly the best prospect of these is in fact HUGH JACKMANs final Wolverine outing,
LOGAN [1] (Vue, 28 Feb), which boasts two pretty promising trailershinting at a more
mature, human (funny, for mutants) and dark film with well reviewed performances
from both Jackman and PATRICK STEWART. After Peter Jacksons pompous Jack Black
Kong, comes a new incarnation in KONG: SKULL ISLAND [2] (Vue, 10 Mar) in which
TOM HIDDLESTON, BRIE LARSON, SAMUEL L JACKSON, JOHN GOODMAN and JOHN
C REILLY find themselves in the (very) outsized gorillas back yard. The animation looks
a step up from previous efforts and theres a streak of welcome humour to help it all
alongthis is all designed to culminate in the 2020 pairing of the big ape with 2014s
Godzilla, now who doesnt want to see that?! Bryan Cranston starred in that 2014
movie, his first Kaiju production since his little-known early life as two Power Rangers
baddiesand believe it or not, he stars (now as mentor Zordon) in the new big-screen
version of that franchise when POWER RANGERS [3] comes to Vue, 24 Mar. Look out
for some original ranger cameos More beasts appear (in more small-child friendly
form) in both SMURFS: THE LOST VILLAGE (Vue, 30 Mar) and, literally, in Disneys live
action BEAUTY AND THE BEAST [4] (EC & Vue, 17 Mar) EMMA Hermione WATSON
stars avec autotune with hot-to-trot DAN STEVENS and LUKE EVANS. Not entirely
convinced of the need/demand/reasons for the animation-into-live-action process yet.
Perhaps this will illuminate. And then theres CHiPS [5] (Vue, 24 Mar). Written and
directed by DAX SHEPHARD, usually seen playing jackasses in the likes of Employee of
The Month or but nowadays perhaps best known for his Samsung phone ads with his
wife, Kristen Bell, this has us all unsure and wincing. Even our favourite Scientologist,
MICHAEL PEA mightnt salvage it. Or then again, maybe itll be a classic
Also slated for release (but maybe wont appear at Vue/on time) are THE LOST
CITY OF Z (24 Mar) and RULES DONT APPLY (10 Mar) and I.T. (10 Mar). The
first stars CHARLIE HUNNAM with TOM HOLLAND, SIENNA MILLER and ROBERT
PATTINSON in the real-life (ish) story of Brit explorer Percy Fawcett searching for a
lost Amazonian city; the second is that Warren Beatty Howard Hughes film with LILY
COLLINS and ALDEN EHRENREICH; and finally, talking of aviation tycoons, PIERCE
BROSNAN plays one in a weirdly uncomfortable attempt at a zeitgeisty film gone
bador so it seems from the trailera revenge thriller in which a rich guy hires a
young tech wizard to fix his wifi, snubs him and then comes to regret it when he is
plunged into a world of tech-revenge-hell, haha.
Last months films this month at Eden Court provide very rich Oscar-nommed
pickings in the form of LA LA LAND (31 Mar), FENCES (31 Mar), MOONLIGHT (24
Mar) which was sadly overlooked in the BAFTAs, as was HIDDEN FIGURES (10
Mar), then theres HACKSAW RIDGE (03 Mar) which wasnt, LOVING (03 Mar), plus
significant releases THE GREAT WALL (31 Mar) with MATT DAMON, 20TH CENTURY
WOMEN (03 Mar) with ANNETTE BENING and THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE (11 Mar)
with, erm, animated plastic bricks. And a smart, witty script and voice performances
from WILL ARNOTT, RALPH FIENNES, MICHAEL CERA and ZACH GALIFIANAKIS.

 Be quick when you get this mag and you might turn up to EDEN COURT in time
to run into excitingly weird film maker, BEN WHEATLEY who is attending a unique
preview screening of his much-talked about new film FREE FIRE on 27 Feb (with
Q&A after) ahead of its full UK release on 30 Mar. Another artistic highpoint will be
Paul Verhoevens empowering and disturbing ELLE [6], which has drawn rave reviews
for ISABELLE HUPPERTs performance and an absolute stack of awards nominations
and arrives at Eden Court on 31 Maravoid missing it if you can. This months EC
Cult Cinema is the classic SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION (23 Mar), and you would do
well to give Inverness Film Fans screening of Louis Malles 1958 debut (complete
with Miles Davis soundtrack) LIFT TO THE SCAFFOLD [7] a go (07 Mar).
As ever, there are many releases that wont quite make it to VUE but sometimes
some of those surprise us and showkeep your fingers crossed for PERSONAL
SHOPPER [8] (17 Mar) Oliver Assayas slowly strange psych-thriller with KRISTEN
STEWART, GET OUT [9], a discomforting race horror (17 Mar) and MAN DOWN [10]
(31 Mar) a post-Afghan war drama with the increasingly interesting SHIA LABEOUF
plus KATE MARA and GARY OLDMAN

As always, EDEN COURT is your first point of call in the weeks ahead for essential
kids entertainment and while the most significant of them, the SAFER HIGHLAND
BE YOUR BEST ROCK CHALLENGE is some way off, on 0305 APR, its worth
giving you a heads-up now. Despite its name, its not about rock music, but rather
an opportunity for schools from across the region to unveil eight minute dance,
drama and design spectacular performances together. These events support the
global Rock Challenge ethos of achieving a natural high through performance
rather than through the use of tobacco, alcohol or drugs and provide a fantastic
showcase for talented young people across the Highlands. If the standard is
anything like that of previous years then you can expect something pretty special.

A few days earlier, on 01 APR theres more prodigious creativity courtesy of the
HIGHLAND YOUNG MUSICIANS CONCERTS FESTIVAL [1], again at EDEN COURT.
With around 300 talented young musicians from across the Highlands performing
in two wonderful concerts in one day, youre spoiled for choice, so might as well
settle in and see both. The 3pm performance features HIGHLAND REGIONAL
YOUTH ORCHESTRA; CISIR G; HIGHLAND YOUTH BIG BAND and HIGHLAND YOUTH
STRING ORCHESTRA, while at 6.30pm you can see HIGHLAND YOUTH WIND BAND;
HIGHLAND YOUTH CHOIR; HIGHLAND PULSE and the curiously named SNAS.

Youthful talent isnt confined to indoors and from 1113 MAR at NEVIS RANGE its
the SCOTTISH CHILDRENS SKIING CHAMPS & BAIRNS BUCKET [2], the first
named open to under 16s and under 14s, the Bairns Bucket to under 12s. All
of whom will no doubt put their elders to shame with their skills and assurance.

Kids will also be participating in the NAIRN FUN RUN on 05 MAR. Taking place
on the same day as the Nairn 10K, it not only marks the beginning of the running
season, but also raises plenty of money for good causes. So take part or at least
head along to cheer the competitors.

 Journey Through Time
MUSIC
Much music spanning the decades and all manner of genres this month, but first
a trip back in time for the SCOTTISH ENSEMBLEs BAROQUE DANCE PARTY at
EDEN COURT on 21 MAR. Therell be bangers of their day from Bach, Purcell and
Telemann, while the latters Tafelmusik will be served with a twist. Playing from an
electronic sound tableone of his own creationspercussionist and composer
JOHANNES FISCHER [1] will enhance the joyous collection of dances by creating
loops and patterns from fragments of the music as you hear it. Still think they
shouldve called it Baroque Da House though

From clubbing of hundreds of years ago to that of the 21st century and a very
special FILTH night at IRONWORKS remembering ROSS LYALL [2] who tragically
died last March. His old DJ partner Andrew McGibbon will headline and all proceeds
go to Diabetes Scotland.

Its very much a trip through the last fifty years in terms of this months music,
beginning with a seminal creative talent from the 60s whos just as influential
today, LEE SCRATCH PERRY [3] at IRONWORKS on 11 MAR. A true reggae great
he doesnt necessarily occupy the same dimension as the rest of us much of the
time, so just about anything could happen.

The 70s are well represented with Liverpool soul popsters THE REAL THING (IW,
10 MAR), original Specials man NEVILLE STAPLE [4] supported by the excellent
BOMBSKARE (IW, 25 MAR), punk greats STIFF LITTLE FINGERS [5] (IW, 18 MAR)
and ex Thin Lizzy guitarist Scott Gorhams BLACK STAR RIDERS [6] (IW, 07 MAR).

The 80s are recalled by LLOYD COLE [7] whos touring the world with a show
featuring all his biggest hits and bringing it to EDEN COURT. Thats not until 06 APR,
so more about that next month. A sashay forward into the 90s finds French techno
wizard VITALIC at IRONWORKS on 04 MAR playing live and mixing up more musical
styles than you can imagine, with typical continental lan.

Its a great month for folk too, with the highlight being SOUTHERN TENANT FOLK UNION
[8] at EDEN COURT on 23 MAR, but also recommended are: ROBERT MIZZELL & THE
COUNTRY KINGS [9] (EC, 02 MAR); RED HOT CHILLI PIPERS (THE LOFT, FORRES, 04
MAR); BLAZIN FIDDLES [12] (CRAIGMONIE CENTRE, 06 MAR) and SIOBHAN MILLER
[10] (EC, 09 MAR). Folk in an Oriental manner too from the thrillingly dynamic YAMATO
DRUMMERS OF JAPAN [11] at EDEN COURT on 28 MAR. All recommended.!

 WHAT WEVE BEEN LISTENING TO:
Myles from SCHNARFF SCHNARFF
Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes - Wildflowers Loved some of the frontmans
(Frank Carter) earlier heavy rock anthems when he was in Gallows but this new album
is just class. It is fresh, punky and he actually sings in it (less screaming even
though I do love a bit of screamo). It has moments of arctic monkeys-vibes through
it but mainly a proper, beasting rock tune with a huge chorus (...and outtro). Get
the album!!!

Ocean Wisdom - Walkin This is a beast!! It is Brighton-born rap gem with an

impressive musical backdrops. This track has a repeated bass feedback sound that
just vibrates your chest when turned up. There is also an incredible acapella section
after the rst verse. Incredible tune and this guy is going to be huge! Grimey-rappy hit!!!

Audio Karate - Aim to Please This is an old but inuential thrashy rock tune from
the early 00s. The guys voice must be hard as nails on tour it is rather shouty and
rough but works so much with the music. This tune is one of the highlights from
the album and was played on repeat when we were in school. This band shouldve
been huge!!

And So I Watch You From Afar - Ambulance This has hints of Biffy in it but ASIWYFA
are mainly instrumental rock, though they will chant in the background at time. The
album this is taken from is class in the car get it blasted and watch your speed.
The guitar work in it is insane and there is a massive metal breakdown in this track
that will get your heart racing so good.

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Electricity This very early 80s pop tune is
so addictive and I have had it on repeat for about a week now. Catchy glockenspiel-
sounding keys, synthy post-choruses and a rather monotone vocal that ts so well with
the cheesy aspects of the track. You cannot listen to this tune once not possible.

***BONUS TRACK***
Schnarff Schnarff - This Is How We Get Some
Get this in your lugs too for obvious reasons.

SCHNARFF SCHNARFF will be playing INVERNESS on 24 MAR 2017 at the

Pedal To The Metal

FILM
The Highlands has become something of a mecca for petrolheads thanks to
the publicity gained by the well-marketed North 500, billing itself, with some
justification as one of the ten best road trips in the world. Lets not forget however
that theres another driving spectacle up here with even more of a splendid history
in the form of the SNOWMAN RALLY [1] taking place on SAT 18 FEB
Since its inception in 1955 the Snowman Rally, organised by the Highland Car
Club, has been a test of skills for everyone from local motoring club members to
future World Rally Champions, including the likes of Colin McRae. There are 44
miles of scenic rallying over five special stages and, as always, the opportunity to
share your days experiences at the post-rally party. Whats particularly exciting
this year though is the decision to start the rally from Inverness High Street,
something that originally happened back in the 1950s. Up to 130 cars are
expected to take part with departures at one minute intervals from 9am onwards
so head along and be part of the action by waving them on their way.
Full details at snowmanrally.co.uk

On the football front this is potentially the most important part of the season
as teams look to hit the ground running after the winter break and, in the top
flight, try to either make the split or, as looks alarmingly likely in INVERNESS
CALEDONIAN THISTLEs case, try to avoid relegation. This has been a massively
disappointing season for the Inverness team and its frustrating to see how all
the momentum and potential garnered from recent seasons, particularly the
cup win, hasnt been capitalised on. This month they play away to Hamilton and
Hearts, with a home game against DUNDEE on 04 FEB, before locking horns at
home against CELTIC on 01 MAR. So far theyve been the only team in the league
to take any points off the runaway leaders, but theyll have to start stringing some
results together if theyre to be remembered as more than a footnote in Celtics
record-breaking season.
ROSS COUNTY have looked rather more assured in the past couple of months
and home games against MOTHERWELL (31 JAN) and ST JOHNSTONE (18 FEB)
give them a good opportunity to aim for a top six place, though tough away fixtures
against Rangers and Aberdeen temper optimism somewhat. Its going to be an
interesting month

Run Like The Wind

FILM
Its that time of year again when the folk of the Highlands wake from winter
lethargy, look disapprovingly in the mirror and decide to make this the year (again)
that they get fit. And theres no better way to do so than by taking up running,
hence the increasing presence of people pounding the city streets in the evenings.
And this month they get the chance to put all those hard yards into action with
a host of running events, the most notable of which is the INVERNESS HALF
MARATHON & 5K FUN RUN [1] on 12 MAR. The junior sibling to the full marathon
later in the year, its an increasingly popular event, beginning in Bught Park
and taking in a scenic route over a relatively manageable distance. If the half
marathon seems too tough though, the accompanying 5K Fun Run is both a good
introduction to the pastime and a gentle way to burn off some calories.
There are two more chances to get a stitch this month courtesy of the NAIRN
10K & FUN RUN on 05 MAR and the NEWTONMORE 10 MILE ROAD RACE on 18
MAR, so theres no excuse for not giving it a go. And at the very least, you should
head along and cheer the competitors.
A word too for the AVIEMORE ADVENTURE FESTIVAL taking place from 0912
MAR and including many outdoor events. See our listings for full details.
A different, if somewhat unsettling take on personal fitness is literally on show
at the IBFA HIGHLANDS & ISLANDS BODYBUILDING COMPETITION [2]
at IRONWORKS on 02 APR, when youll be able to see competitors flexing
muscles and striking poses while bringing to mind the great Clive James
description of Arnold Schwarzenegger as a brown condom full of walnuts.
All this other sporting activity might just take our minds off the woes suffered
by our two Highland SPFL teams, neither of whom are exactly setting the league
alight this season. Indeed, for ICT the situation is now officially perilous, although
theyll be hoping to consolidate their record as the only team to take points off
the Celtic juggernaut this season when they meet the Bhoys on 01 MAR, hot
on the heels of being walloped in the Cup by them in February. ROSS COUNTY
are doing marginally better, but are equally unpredictable from game to game,
meaning the latest El Kessocko between them and ICT on 18 MAR in Inverness
might just be your proverbial six pointer.

 Playing The Jokers
Its almost spring, when every comedians fancy turns to the prospect of the
Edinburgh Fringe. At least that used to be the case, but these days the majority
of them seem to be permanently on tour. And, as weve regularly noted, more and
more of them are including dates up here in their trawls around the country.

PHIL KAY [1], who plays EDEN COURT on 31 MAR admittedly doesnt have to come
far, being a Highland resident and one whose shows are always a delight, whether
aimed at adults or children. This is one of his grown up ones and gives us another
chance to witness a man with a kaleidoscopic mind and heaps of deceptively
profound observations. Previous shows have ended with taking audiences
walkabout into the small hours, so be ready for anythingand refer to our cover.

SEAN LOCK [2] is equally masterful at the art of stand-up and while he often
seems to be coasting on TV shows like 8 Out Of Ten Cats, its live performances
that show him at his best. His Keep It Light show at EDEN COURT on 15 MAR
should show him navigating the tricky line between bad taste and comic genius like
a particularly agile cat on your back fence.

Some of us arent quite as convinced of the enduring entertainment value of

AL MURRAY [3], particularly since his Pub Landlord persona doesnt seem as
incisively satirical in Brexit Britain. Plenty disagree though and his show at EC on
26 MAR will please his many fans.

Rather braver in upturning expectations is LARRY DEAN [4] (EDEN COURT, 12

MAR), a gay Glaswegian whose niftily titled Farcissist show mixes revelations of
teenage bad behaviour and uncompromising revelations about his attitude to his
sexuality, with moments of genuine tenderness. No wonder hes being acclaimed
as just about the most inventive of Scottish comedians on the circuit right now.

All that comedy doesnt leave much space to tell you about the fine drama coming
our way this month, but a quartet of shows at EDEN COURT are well worth your
attention: DARE DEVIL RIDES TO JARAMA [5] (05 MAR) looks at the International
Brigade in the Spanish Civil War through the ill-fated eyes of a famous speedway
star and a renowned poet and philosopher who became friends as members of a
British Battalions machine-gun company; THE RED CHAIR [6] (06 MAR) is SARAH
CAMERONs surreal, absurdist, solo take on folklore, fairytales and parenting;
IF I HAD A GIRL (14 MAR) is a startling examination of honour-based violence
in Scotlands ethnic minority communities, and FASLANE [7] (20 MAR) finds the
personal and political colliding in JENNA WATTs show about the divisive naval base.

Some good locally produced shows this month too, notably OLIVER! (ELGIN TOWN
HALL, 09/11 MAR), 95; THE MUSICAL (EC, 22-25 MAR) and PLAN Bs latest
dance production CITIZENS (ARDROSS COMMUNITY HALL, 11 MAR). More about

Its that building which gives the nearby
Priory Hotel its name and while there
are a number of other food options on
the bustling village square including
the highly regarded Friary Chip Shop,
the Corner on the Square Bistro, the
Shimla Indian Restaurant and just
round the corner a Chinese takeaway,
the hotel and bar at the rear seems to
be the de facto heart of the town.
Long established as a favourite place

My pal hits paydirt with a thick,

of all, its accompanied by a dinky,
bite-sized chocolate tart topped

Nothing elegant about the appearance
of Mrs Xs Sherry Trifle, which is
simply a bowlful scooped from a
larger one somewhere in the kitchen,
thus relying on taste rather than any
visual impact. However, what it lacks
in visial finesse it certainly makes up
for in taste and, in these days when
indulgence is so often denied, it
doesnt skimp on cream or custard.
Theres a good glug of sherry too,
resulting in something that she says
is even nicer than the one her mum
makes. Quite a compliment.
Its a nice end to the meal, but not
quite enough to erase the memory
of the somewhat hit-and-miss main
courses. The place is obviously
popular with punters and perhaps
it would have been better for us to
have gone for simpler choices like
the Bumper Burger or Deep Fried
