No it wasn’t your imagination. You did just see a big yellow ball of gas in the sky. Boffins at the Centre for Life are currently working round the clock to establish its origins and whether it’s going to stick around. In the meantime enjoy its sporadic appearances while they last – perhaps through a spot of beer gardening or pavement tea slurping.People watching is a great pastime too, in this (slightly) warmer climate. If winter watching is all about waiting for people to slip on the ice, this time of year is all about the early onset of summer fashions and their many foibles.Newcastle being the catwalk-conscious places it is, expect to see a multitude of new weird and wonderful trends direct from the world’s sharpest fashion houses on our streets soon.Meanwhile, tis the season of japery, so beware the April foolers. It’s at this time of year that newspaper people seek to deceive (even more so than most) with fake stories come April 1st. So watch out for news of penguin invasions, talking cats and council-backed monorail plans. For proper laughs though, have a look at what is another bumper fortnight in the stand-up stakes here in NE1.There’s loads of other goings on too, from music and art to stage, screen and family stuff, indoors and outdoors. So ditch the winter coat, grab your brightest threads and get out there!

FEATHERED FRIENDS RETURN Fans of waterfowl and ballet are in for a treat in April when Swan Lake returns to the Theatre Royal. Firmly crowned as a modern day classic, Matthew Bourne’s powerful, provocative and totally original interpretation of Swan Lake has wowed audiences in the West End, Broadway and across Europe, Asia and Australia. A haul of 30 international theatre awards can’t be wrong, with the production boasting three Tony awards. Performances take place between Tuesday 8 and Saturday 19 April and prices start at £15. www.theatreroyal.co.uk

MARvELLOUS MALL Is it just us or is Monument Mall looking in particularly good nick these days? In a few months it’s gone from something close to an empty shell back to the bustling shopping hub it once was. After 15 million quid’s worth of refurbing, it’s now home to the likes of Hugo Boss, The White Company, Jack Wills and luxury jeweller Rox. The newest name is Jamie’s Italian, which is already a winner with the NE1 masses. It is quite the transformation. Check it out if you haven’t already.

PRIDE GETS BIGGER The celebration of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender culture, Newcastle Pride, has announced that it will be extended this year from one to three days. Yay! Organisers Northern Pride, who frankly deserve a collective pat on the back for the rapid rise of the event, hope to attract up to 65,000 visitors on the weekend of the 18,19 and 20 of July. The LGBT fun will be primarily based at the Town Moor, with a variety of live music planned across the three days, as well as food stalls and a fun fair. There are also dedicated dance and cabaret tents and a ‘bear zone’ on the Saturday. For the first time the event will also host a second stage in the heart of the city, while dog lovers can look forward to the Paws with Pride pet show on the Sunday July. Think dogs in clothes. What’s not to love? www.northern-pride.com

HOLLYWOOD MAKEOvER Thought the Tyneside Cinema couldn’t get any better? Think again. The historic and much loved cine house is undergoing a £1.3m redevelopment which will see the adjacent shop unit, most recently used by Barclays Bank, transformed into a new café bar. Following the makeover, the cinema’s existing bar will house a unique video art gallery. Quite frankly, we can’t wait to see it. www.tynesidecinema.co.uk

NORTHERN LIGHTS Still weeping at the news that Evolution Festival is taking a year offin 2014? Dry your eyes kidda as a new festival is coming to town. Music brands Elektriqa, Goodgreef and Module have joined forces to give you Northern Lights, a new electronic music festival, which should have you waving your hair like you just don’t care on the 5 May bank holiday Monday at Times Square. Mixing up the main stage is Dimitri Vegas & Like, best known for their headline Tomorrowland & Creamfield’s sets, and global smash record “Mammoth”, recently voted “6th Best DJ in World” by DJmag. Joining them will be special guests Nervo; two Aussie girls who have made a name for themselves over recent years, producing records for the likes of David Guetta and Nicky Romero. Tickets are available at www.ents24.com and www.ticketarena.co.uk

SWEDE DEALS Having infected our great nation with Abba tunes and infuriating flat-pack furniture, the Swedes have a lot to answer for. But one Swedish brand is helping to make amends for its motherland’s past crimes through its stylish range of kids clobber. Polarn O. Pyret specialises in clothes that kids can play in and is having a launch event at Fenwick in Newcastle on 5 and 6 April. The event kicks off at 11am and there’ll be 25% off all clothing in the range, activities for the little ones, complimentary refreshments and a chance to win a £100 shopping spree. www.fenwick.co.uk

BONBAR LAUNCH Bonbar, the new, decadent guise of what was The Assembly Rooms, opens its doors this fortnight and visitors are in for a treat. The venue invites NE1 dwellers to “drink & dine, revel & relax and immerse yourself in our extraordinary entertainment”. The fun begins on Tuesday 1 April. www.bonbar.co.uk

HOOP DREAMS ANSWERED For anyone who ever wanted to see the dizzying displays and zero gravity feats of the NBA’s best basketball players, the Harlem Globetrotters are here to satisfy your cravings. With an awe inspiring roster showcasing stars such as Special K Daley, Big Easy Lofton, Flight Time Lang, Hi-Lite Bruton and Dizzy Grant this one-of-a-kind show features mesmerising ball handling and an assortment of the most tricky trick shots. This year sees the Globetrotters take on challenges and rules created and voted on by fans, including, Hot Hand Jersey, with players wearing a specified jersey scoring double points and, of course, an amazing Trick Shot Challenge. The slam dunking fun comes to Metro Radio Arena on Wednesday 9 April. www.metroradioarena.co.uk

PURPLE SLUG Quayside institution the Slug and Lettuce wants to turn Newcastle into a plum paradise on Friday 28 March. To show its support for the Variety Children’s Charity, it’ll be lighting up the Millennium Bridge and decking out its own joint in purple – the charity’s official shade. There’ll also be live music, angle grinders, stilt walkers and a silent auction all for the good of the charitable cause. Dig deep folks!www.slugandlettuce.co.uk

LAKELAND SHIFTS If your idea of fun is cutting an orange in 17 different ways or finding the right cleaning product to get out a beetroot stain, you’ll be pleased to know that Lakeland is opening a new store in the Douglas Way area of intu Eldon Square. The new store, which opens this Easter, will house all your home ware needs whether that’s vacuumed sealed air tight Tupperware containers or a special cushion for your vegetables (ooh matron).www.lakeland.co.uk

with copious amounts of cross dressing and men in high heels. And there’s music too, lots of music. Hall says: “With The Comedy of Errors we’re in the 1980s so there’s lots of 80s hits to play with. We look at what we can make with that - as a sort of pool to draw from.” In fact, one of Propeller’s trademarks is the cast busking in the interval of shows. “This was partly born as a way to keep the performance going,” says Hall. “I want to make coming to see a Propeller performance as much of an event in people’s lives as possible, and not just like going to see any other play. A combination of those two things resulted in us playing interval music.” And, as Hall explains, any notion that Shakespeare is only for theatre luvvies and the high brow among us should be left at the Theatre Royal’s doors at their upcoming shows. “Shakespeare’s audiences were largely illiterate, so the myth that you need to have swallowed a dictionary and have studied for years to enjoy a play is just that – a myth.“Next time you listen to a long

complicated speech in Shakespeare, listen to the end. Because at the end of all these complicated speeches you’ll get two or three lines that sum up everything you need to know so you don’t miss anything in the plot. So for all those people who didn’t

get everything he then looks after you at the end. He

uses that method again and again and again.” But Shakespeare anoraks are also catered for by Propeller and, for all the frivolity, the

original texts are respected. Hall says: “I like

to think that we pay attention to the structures of his

writing so we deliver a very lucid, clear evening in

the theatre. I want you to feel involved in our shows. I want it still to be with you as you go to work the next morning.” It’s clear

that Hall is eager to please both Shakespeare

aficionados as well as new comers to his work, with

productions aimed at exciting the audience without losing sight of the playwright’s original vision. The bard would well be chuffed. For tickets and more info visit www.theatreroyal.co.uk

For many people, Shakespeare conjures up images of stuffy English teachers (most of them with elbow patches before they were in fashion) and last minute revision cramming.In contrast to modern linguistic trends (I’m talking OMGs and LOLs) Shakespearean sonnets can seem even harder to grasp for newcomers, with many of us put off before the end of the opening monologue.But Edward Hall’s all-male Propeller theatre group might just change your view of the bard. The group, which is

here in NE1 this fortnight with two different shows, kicks well-trodden Shakespearean fare into the wings and replaces it with a completely new, funny and refreshing take on old Will’s best work. Take its 2010 production of Richard III at the Theatre Royal, for example, where the play’s usual regal setting was swapped for a chilling

morgue, and swords and shields replaced with chainsaws and drills. Instead of the bloodless battle scenes often portrayed by better behaved companies, it featured cleaver-wielding maniacs tearing into chunks of raw meat. Propeller is once again returning to the Theatre Royal this

fortnight to thrill audiences with its no holds barred take on

the bard’s The Comedy of Errors (Tuesday 1 – Saturday 5 April) and A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Wednesday 2 - Saturday 5 April).

Commonly regarded as Shakespeare’s most

farcical play, The Comedy of Errors sees two sets of

estranged twins, separated at birth,

finding themselves in the same city 25 years later with hilarious consequences. Artistic director Edward Hall tells NE1: “Our Comedy of Errors is set on a sort of 1980s package holiday island, where there are sombreros, sunglasses, too much sangria and sun, and people getting into trouble. It’s colourful, it’s fast, it’s funny.” Of Midsummer Night’s Dream, he says: “It’s a play about strife, it’s a play about domestic anger, it’s a play about magic and it’s a quietly pertinent contemporary play in terms of its messaging.” As we mentioned earlier, it’s also entirely performed by blokes so it’s also a play

FOOD & DRINK

Like Godzilla straddling the Tokyo skyline, Japanese culture has truly made its mark on Newcastle in recent years and locals have lapped it up in sumo-sized portions…Whether its restaurants, films or conventions, Japan has made its presence known, with many of us just as likely to tackle chopsticks as go out for a curry. Yo! Sushi’s fish-serving conveyor belts introduced many of us to the pleasures of Japanese cuisine when the chain opened its first North East restaurant in Fenwick’s Newcastle department store back in 2007. Since then, many of us have broken free from the usual trinity of Italian, Indian and Chinese, and have ventured further afield to discover a bounty of Japanese restaurants and eateries in NE1, all of which are eager to welcome us in, usually with the phrase “Irasshaimase”.These include Nudo Sushi Box near the Haymarket Metro station on Northumberland Street, which is perfect for shoppers wanting to rest their feet and tuck into some of the greatest snacks on earth. This place also does an amazing silver needle tea, which is truly a gift from the Seven Lucky Gods. Its sister restaurant Nudo Noodle House on Low Friar Street also serves up delicious Japanese food, among delicacies from other parts of the Orient, in a more formal setting, all at a reasonable price. Osaka, the Japanese-themed restaurant on Grey Street and Japanese burger bar Go at Magnet Court, Gallowgate, are also well worth a visit.Restaurants in the town centre that have flown the Japanese flag for some time now are Hanahana and Fujiyama on Bath Lane, both of which provide a uniquely personal experience, with customers given their own chef for the duration of their meal, with food prepared and cooked right in front of them. For people wanting to replicate Bill Murray in Lost in Translation, Hanahana also boasts its own Karaoke room, for ‘unique’ renditions of sake fuelled power ballads. For those looking for a buffet style banquet, Tenji is only a short walk from St James’ Park, and offers a rather splendid two hour unlimited drinks deal for £6. For those that know their Hello Kitty from their Doraemons, Toki Yoki in intu Eldon Square sell a wide range of Japanese kitsch cartoony gifts, while NE1’s comic book stores, including Travelling

There’s nothing more quintessentially English than the ceremony of afternoon tea (well maybe rain and bumper to bumper traffic, but let’s stay positive). While NE1’s nightlife may provide plenty of opportunities for all manner of hell raising hullaballoo, we’d all admit that it’s nice to have a sit down with a cup of tea and a finger sandwich now and then. For those seeking the solace of a good old fashioned, yet thoroughly sophisticated, brew, there’s plenty of venues at your disposal, all putting their own twist on a very English classic. Located inside Newcastle’s most famous department store, Fenwick, Café 21 provides a range of packages, including cream tea, confectioner’s tea and champagne tea between 3pm and 7pm, Monday to Friday. The sophistication continues at MPW Steakhouse Bar and Grill on Fenkle Street, which offers afternoon tea all week between 2-5pm. With cake stands that wouldn’t look out of place in the National Gallery and an unlimited supply of tea and coffee, this is definitely somewhere to go if you’re in need of pampering. Brown’s Bar and Brasserie on Grey Street also serves up classic afternoon teas from 2.30pm daily, all of which include a selection of finger sandwiches (classic), fruit

scones with clotted cream (uber classic) and a selection of mini cakes, with a choice between traditional, champagne and ‘unusual afternoon’ versions (a glass of Hendrick’s gin & tonic with a slice) to choose between. If you’re looking for afternoon tea with that bit extra (well if you like quiche), Café Royal serves it from Monday to Friday between 2.30pm

and 5.30pm. Its superior sandwich selection, including Spanish Iberico ham, roasted red peppers and red pepper relish (yum), is complimented by a serving of mini quiches and a selection of superb cakes. Meanwhile, coffee shop and deli café Olive and Bean on Clayton Street offers a quality home cooked afternoon tea

experience, including a selection of homemade bite-sized cakes. It also stocks a range of complimentary range of local chutneys, jams, olive oils and balsamic vinegars, many of which are available to buy. The perfect try before you buy. Other notable afternoon teas are also to be found at BALTIC Café Bar, Hotel Du Vin on City Road, Hotel Indigo, Fenkle Street Vermont Hotel behind the Castle Keep, Garden Kitchen in Eldon Garden, Malmaison on the Quayside and Hotel Du Vin on City Road. Mine’s a milk and two sugars. www.getintonewcastle.co.uk

Kurosawa and Yasujiro Ozu. If you’re after a crash course in Japanese culture, intu Eldon Square is hosting Newcastle-Con 2014 between the 29 and 30 March, which will see an array of artist and merchants come together to celebrate Japanese and western animation, manga, comics, games and

Fenwick’sThe menswear

department has benefitted greatly from

its recent revamp, which has transformed it into a must-visit for men who love their clothes. They now stock some really top end international brands, and offer an array of business and casual options for the professional man. CruiseThis is really the only place in central Newcastle to buy international designer collections from the ‘super brands’. They offer

very high end fashion pieces, coupled with your staples, so it is a place you can shop for everything, if your budget allows.

ReissProbably my favourite high street shop, Reiss offers an excellent selection of clothing for men. The aesthetic is very smart and fashion-orientated, but with a bit of an ‘edge.’ It is very much my style. Their clothing is reasonably priced, yet is often mistaken for high end designer wear. Hugo BossIt is very exciting that an

international designer like Hugo Boss has opened a flagship store in NE1, and its tailoring and business wear is second to none. The professional set in Newcastle have welcomed this store with open arms. End ClothingA ‘must’ for your casual clothing. From its High Bridge location, End has an international reputation, which is amazing for an independent retailer in Newcastle. It stocks a wide range of brands, as well as clothes for a host of different casual occasions.

GETTING HITCHED IN NE1?Ding dong the bells are chiming as wedding season is almost upon us. While Bridezillas may already have their day locked down, there will still be those that are only starting out on the joyous process of wedding planning.Luckily NE1 has a number of wedding fairs and other wedding themed events that should give you more than enough inspiration. The Metro Radio Arena hosts The North East Wedding Show on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 of September. The show is expected to be one of the biggest in the North East, with everything from cakes and confetti to chocolate fountains and sculptures on show. While the event takes place later in the year (by which time we’ll all have an amazing tan courtesy of a long hot summer of course) those looking to exhibit are being asked to call 01704 517979 before spaces run out.St. James’ Park will also be hosting a second Wedding Wonder Show later this year following its first event earlier in March. It will feature a fashion show and, just so they don’t feel left out, a dedicated Bridesmaid Arena. Dates are yet to be announced, but will be put on the weddingwondershow.co.uk website imminently.Newcastle’s venues have also embraced changes to legislation that will see same sex couples able to legally marry from Saturday March 29 this year.One such venue is The Vermont Hotel at Castle Garth, which will be flying the pride flag 200ft above Newcastle on the 29th, while experts will be on hand between 11am until 3pm to explain what the change in legislation means to gay couples in the region. Attendees can then organise one-to-one appointments with the hotel’s dedicated wedding co-ordinator.Historic Blackfriars restaurant is also one of the first venues to proclaim the introduction of same sex wedding receptions, with the venue already proving popular among those celebrating civil partnerships.

Ørnulf Opdahl: New Paintings. Ornulf Opdahl’s work recall his disturbing images of the threatening power of nature in his Nordic landscapes. Although Opdahl’s relationship with his native landscape is experiential (he is an experienced sailor and is equally familiar with the mountain routes of the surrounding Sunmøre Mountains), his pictorial approach to it is meditative and philosophical. Reflecting upon that empty, overwhelming land, his instinct is not to describe or depict it, but to create moods which suggest its latent power.

Elizabeth Blackadder: Prints. Born in Falkirk, Elizabeth Blackadder studied at Edinburgh University and Edinburgh College of Art where she also taught until 1986. The extent of Blackadder’s masterly use of printmaking as a medium lies in her ability to translate her apparently tireless curiosity for the objects and places around her with that effortless ease and spontaneity that has invariably characterised her images of landscapes, flower and animal studies.

YOUR COMPREHENSIvE LISTINGS GUIDE TO WHAT’S ON IN NEWCASTLE CITY CENTRE THIS FORTNIGHT

LISTINGS

You don’t have to know your Betty Bebops from your Boogaloo Joes to enjoy a nice slice of jazz. In fact the genre has become so infused in everyday culture that most people could well be big fans without recognising it. Artists such as Radiohead, Adele and Emeli Sande have all release records that contain elements of jazz, while modern jazz artists such as Polar Bear and Kairos 4tet’s have helped to make jazz cool again. Jazz in all its forms has also become the go-to genre for advertisers, whether it’s to sell cars, an alcoholic beverage or a particular lifestyle in general. Now you have the chance to delve further into the kaleidoscopic soundscape of jazz when the Gateshead International Jazz Festival arrives in April. Now in its tenth year, the festival has become one of the biggest under-one-roof jazz gatherings outside London. And it’s a mix of artists that have made their name around the world. Among the highlights are jazz ‘super group’ Spring Quartet on Saturday 5 April, which consists of Jack DeJohnette, a drummer who has been at the heart of many of the landmark jazz groups of the past four decades, heavyweight saxophonist Joe Lovano, bass player

Esperanza Spalding – the first jazz artist to win a Best New Artist Grammy Award and pianist Leo Genovese. Other highlights include Brazilian jazz funk fusion artists Ed Motta on Friday 4 April, whose album is inspired by 70s soul and Steely Dan. Saturday 5 April sees jazz legend Courtney Pine C.B.E play

to a no doubt rapturous audience at the Sage and

follows shows across the US, Canada and Europe. Be prepared for an electric mix of Merengue, Ska, Mento and Calypso all played through one

of the most famous saxophones in British jazz.

For people with more alt-jazz leanings, new kids on the block Polar Bear will be flaunting their jazztastic wares on Sunday 6 April, while on the previous night the memorably titled GoGo Penguin will be showing just how much modern jazz has been influenced by genres such as electronic, with influences including Aphex Twin and Brian Eno.

wild indie rockers howler will be stopping off at the Cluny on

1 April as a part of their

latest whirlwind tour of Europe. hailing from Minneapolis, the band is back in blighty to promote their second album, ‘world of Joy’, which is already receiving rave reviews. Regularly lauded by nME and Q magazines, howler has already enjoyed significant success when they supported the Vaccines on a previous tour. The group’s catchy, jangly guitar riffs inspired by the likes of the Smiths and the Stooges, have helped them gain notoriety as the next big guitar band to watch out for. I definitely dig their powerful, driving guitars and high energy performances, and rate the authentic ‘new york band’ vibe. however, I do find frontman Jordan gatesmith’s vocals irritating and almost contrived at times as he attempts to live up to the standard of the group’s smashing guitars. having said that, I’m looking forward to hearing their subtle shoegaze sound in tracks from the new record, including first single ‘don’t wanna’. I think howler could shape up to be America’s answer to one my favourite british bands of recent years, The Cribs, and the gig is sure to be a cracker.

Well that lot should keep you

out of mischief for a bit, or keep

you in mischief depending on

your point of view.

Whence next we meet minds

thoughts of long weekends and

chocolate eggs and all the

other joys of the Easter break.

It’ll be eggs-ellent, cracking,

clucking brilliant and every

other egg-based pun you can

possibly think of.

But we’re not even yolking

when we say there’ll be much

more besides Easter-related fun

to get your chops around next

time – including details of

Record Store Day, when

vocational vinylists celebrate

their passion for 12 inchers.

Until next time, ta ta.
