  • THEATRE REVIEW | English Touring Opera’s Don Giovanni – Sheffield Theatres and National Tour

    ★★★ | English Touring Opera’s Don Giovanni – Sheffield Theatres and National Tour:

    Lust, passion, revenge, deceit, drama and sex all combine in the gloom of the subterranean tunnels in Don Giovanni, the classic opera, performed by English Touring Opera.

    Picture credit – Richard Hubert Smith

    Opening with him fleeing the scene of a murder, Don Giovanni is pursued by his past, including the bitter lover he jilted, the bride-to-be he seduces (along with her jealous husband-to-be), and also by the daughter of his latest victim who seeks to redress the balance of his wrongdoings. This opera is brimming with drama from the passionate opening bars of the overture to the supernatural denouement. Part thriller and part comedy, the opera is ambiguous enough for you to decide whether Don Giovanni is a murder, philanderer and criminal, or whether he is a hero of defiance who refuses to allow his behaviour to be governed by social convention and authority.

    Mozart’s opera has shades of both light and dark in it, with delicate comic touches and some witty one liners buried in the brooding tale of lust, murder, insatiable sexual appetites, betrayal and revenge.  Sung in English, this version is relatively accessible and is presented with subtitles to ensure that even an opera novice can get the most out of the story.

    Out of the cast, George von Bergen was as charismatic as Don Giovanni himself in his portrayal of the titular character, with his booming baritone voice and cocksure swagger fleshing out the anti-hero of the piece, whilst Matthew Stiff provided much needed comic relief in his cheeky turn as Leporello, Giovanni’s servant.

    The static set design worked well, with the oppressively tall structure and a metal staircase dominating the stage and to some extent, blurring the time frame of the piece, making the themes of the opera feel simultaneously traditional but still relevant. Equally, the themes of above and below ground level intimated by the catacombs remind the audience that this is an opera which also deals with the issue of class and Anna Fleischle’s design reflects that nicely. Guy Hoare’s lighting design is subtle and unobtrusive throughout, but yet explodes into dramatic and assertive visuals which not only accompany, but utterly enhance the culmination of the story in the closing scenes. Musically, Mozart’s score was beautifully played by the English Touring Opera’s orchestra and the addition of live music always enhances a piece such as this.

    Opera is often shunned and thought of as being rather elitist, but the reality is very different. Don Giovanni pulls together the darker themes of opera, enhances it with some lighter moments, but which retains all of the passion, power and dramatics one would expect.

    English Touring Opera is currently at Sheffield Theatres , before continuing on its extensive UK tour until the 10th June 2016 with a trio of operas – Don Giovanni, Iphigenie En Tauride and Pia De’ Tolomei. For more information and to book tickets, visit www.englishtouringopera.org.uk

  • DILEMMA | Should I Sleep With My Ex’s Brother?

    DILEMMA | Should I Sleep With My Ex’s Brother?

    Dear Uncle

    I’ve been flirting with my ex’s brother for a few weeks via Grindr after my ex and I broke up about a month ago. I caught him cheating on me with some guys. We were together for 2 years and were about to move in with each other.

    I’m heartbroken by it, but also infuriated and feel like he needs to be taught a lesson. I’ve been chatting with his brother who is also gay and he seems to be fairly up for a meet and muck about… He knows that we’ve split. 

    So I’m wondering if its okay to have a bit of fun?

    Tom, Mablethorpe


    Simon Hill, Author of Journey to Fatherhood

    In a word ‘No’. Not because its the right or wrong thing to do, but because your not thinking about what’s best for yourself. The saying goes ‘all’s fair in love and war’ and sleeping with your brothers ex would be just as fair as everything that has gone before. Actually you don’t want anymore to do with either of them. You need to accept your pain, release it through crying, getting drunk with friends and maybe a one night stand with a stranger – anyone but your ex and his brother – then to rebuild yourself over time.

    Andy Elliot Griffith, Columnist

    If you want to deal with the consequences of this, then, by all means, go ahead, but the reasoning behind wanting to do it is at the very least petty, and at the most vindictive. You obviously aren’t interested in your ex’s brother, you just want to use it as revenge and that is not good. Your ex’s brother is also not the best person, for willing to meet up and “muck about” He’s probably being spiteful towards his brother. It’s not worth causing a rift in the family because you were hurt by your ex’s behaviour. Avoid like the plague!

    Paul Nicholls-Whiteman, Columnist

    Am I getting tit for tat here?  You’ve split up and now you’re trying to date his brother?

    It sucks when a relationship ends and it seems that you were so close to setting up house but better you know now rather than later, so you’ve had a lucky escape. I get that this has really hurt you but there is something called Karma.  What goes around comes around and all you need to do for that is let things work themselves out.

    Dating his brother isn’t very cool.  You would still be close to your ex or is that you want?  Would you get back with him?  Time to move forwards completely and seek out new men.  Give yourself time.  Get to know and love you because if you can’t love yourself how in the hell you going to love someone else!

    I wish you well.

    Dan Browne, Runs LGBT Support Charity In Warwickshire

    I’m going to get straight to the point here. It sounds like your intentions for having sex with your ex-partner’s brother are completely inappropriate. Do you want to be that bitter person who takes revenge but probably ends up being more upset afterwards? You also need to consider how it may affect your ex-partner’s relationship with his brother. Your ex may have hurt you, but that doesn’t give you the right to be so destructive in your revenge. My advice to you is to stop chatting to your ex-partner’s brother, take some time out to get over the split, and then get yourself back out there to find someone new who preferably isn’t related to your ex. The alternative is letting bitterness consume you.

  • LGBT Inclusion In Scottish Schools Is Important For Nicola Sturgeon

    LGBT Inclusion In Scottish Schools Is Important For Nicola Sturgeon

    Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has stated that she will work with campaigners from TIE (Time for Inclusive Education) as she accepts that there is still “more to be done” to tackle homophobia in schools.

    Sturgeon’s vow came as she set out her proposals to ensure that a “leap forward” is made for LGBT+ rights over the next Scottish parliament. At an LGBT+ hustings on Thursday evening (31/03), attended by all party leaders, Sturgeon praised the “impressive” work of TIE and urged whichever party forms the next Scottish government to work with the campaigners.

    She stated:

     “At our conference, we had a moving debate and passed a motion in favour of inclusive education. I think what Time for Inclusive Education are doing is impressive and I hope that whoever forms the next Scottish Government will work with them, as we will.”

    The move follows the unanimous passing of a motion in support of TIE by SNP members at the party’s spring conference earlier this month, which committed the SNP to creating an education system that is fully inclusive of LGBT+ identities and relationships within the next parliament, in order to promote a “safe, equal and accepting environment for all of Scotland’s young people”.

    The topic of inclusive education has been propelled by TIE’s campaigners over the past year and Sturgeon’s support marks a significant turning point for the movement, coming just hours after the campaign argued that the SNP’s proposals for achieving LGBT+ inclusive education must go further.

    Earlier in the evening, Sturgeon announced the SNP’s strategy, which included a focus on providing equality training for new, guidance and promoted teachers “so they are confident in tackling prejudice-based bullying”, and ensuring that “all children and young people learn tolerance, respect, human rights” to prevent prejudice and discrimination.

    However, TIE’s campaigners argued that the strategy announcement did not go far enough, claiming that LGBT+ specific teacher training is required, stressing that “the next strategy to tackle homophobia has to be the right one”.

    Commenting on the news of the First Minister’s support, a spokesperson for TIE stated: 

    “We are pleased that Nicola has agreed to work with us and we welcome her support. Her party’s current proposals do not go far enough and it is vital that the next strategy to tackle LGBT-phobia in Scottish schools is the right one – for too long we have dealt with a Section 28 hangover, the next Scottish Government must tackle this properly. We are happy to work with the SNP, and all other parties within the next parliament to ensure that our education system is inclusive of LGBT+ identities.”

    All party leaders agreed with TIE’s calls for a commitment to improving accessibility to LGBT+ specific teacher training, with co-convener of the Scottish Green Party Patrick Harvie highlighting that faith schools must not be exempt from any strategy proposals.

    Support for TIE’s movement for LGBT+ inclusive education has continued to grow, with Harry Potter actress Emma Thompson being the latest celebrity to endorse the campaign and call for an end to homophobia in Scottish schools.

    Sturgeon later stated that: 

    “We must show leadership and courage in supporting LGBT+ equality. We have to have guts and lead by example.”

  • Freshen Up Your Skin With Epsom Skin Clinic

    Is your skin in dire need of some rejuvenation?

    If your face is in need of some much needed tender loving care then you could do with a professional facial.

    Recently I was invited by Epsom Skin Clinic to try out an Agera Vitamin C Skin Peel (£65) to renew my Winter blasted skin.

    It’s surprising how much the seasons affect your skin, but Wnter is one of the toughest. Cold Wintery snaps, our dependence on central heating and high-street shops that have those electric fan heaters on full blast can all take their toll on your skin – and if you’re not in the habit of using sunscreen, that low hanging winter’s sun is probably doing more damage than you think.

    Let’s not forget the dreadful Winter colds and flus that many of us suffer, stingy eyes, red raw snotty noses and dreadful dry mouth – by the time Spring comes around you’re about ready for a kick start to your skincare regime.

    As I lay down on the heated therapy table in the lush surroundings of Epsom Skin Clinic’s rooms in Rush – Piccadilly, I’m immediately put at ease. The soft sounds of calming music and a feeling of warmth surrounds me in a completely relaxing bubble.

    I’m here to try the Agera Vitamin C Skin Peel, a treatment which promises to tighten, brighten and rejuvenate giving my skin much needed powerful antioxidants, which protect against free radical damage – sign me up.

    I’m warned as we start that my skin may start to sting, but it’s actually pleasant, I’m no stranger to having treatments and compared to a dermaroller procedure or a bit of dermabrasion, this treatment is a walk in the park.

    The facial takes around 30 minutes to complete and as I leave the central London clinic, my skin feels refreshed, renewed and glowing.

    The next day despite being warned that I might look red and a little irritated I’m amazed to find that my skin looks 10 years younger. Really fresh, really balanced.

    Charlotte Botting for Epsom Skin Clinic suggests that for Spring you follow her top 5 tips for keeping your skin fresh, youthful and protected.

     


    ADVERT

    [adinserter block=”1″]


     

    1. Wear an SPF – this should be done all year round but reminding clients at this time of year when the sun starts to make an appearance, SPF is the number one product to help with skin ageing.

    2. Antioxidants – these powerful vitamins how protect the skin from harmful free radicals and pollution.

    3. Re think your professional treatments – as the sun is out your skin will be more susceptible to sun damage so maybe hold off on the stronger treatments and try light peels and microdermabrasions. 

    4. Use an exfoliator – slough off dead skin cells to reveal smooth brighter looking skin.  

    5. Dump your Winter products – If you are still using products from the Winter months they may be too thick going into spring. Pick something lightweight that won’t leave you feeling greasy but provides enough hydration.

  • London Pub Richmond Arms To Close

    After serving the LGBT community for 30 years, staff at The Richmond Arms will pull the last pint at the end of April.

     

      The Richmond Arms in London will join the ever growing list of over 100 gay pubs that have closed in London since the turn of the century.  Taking to the Pub’s facebook page, managers wrote that they had made the decision to close for good with a ‘heavy heart.’
    “To all our dearest customers, it is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that we will be closing our doors for good on Saturday 23rd of April 2016.”
    The pub’s management said the closure was happening because the landlord has chosen not to renew the lease.
    ADVERT

    [adinserter block=”1″]


     
    “Unfortunately this has not happened due to the landlord not willing to extent the lease, so the Richmond Arms will close and not re-open in any form.” “This place is so close to many of us, we have laughed and cried here together for over 30 years. We will all miss this wonderful place in a different way.”
    The Richmond Arms is just another casualty of London’s gay scene, which has lost a number of high profile venues in the last couple of years, including The Black Cap, The Joiner’s Arms and at least one of the Chariots’ saunas. The Black Cap is due to reopen in the near future, under a different name and new management. Campaigners are hoping the new owners will listen to community calls to keep the venue an LGBT space and keep the old name.

  • 60 Second Film Review | 10 Cloverfield Lane

    60 Second Film Review | 10 Cloverfield Lane

    10 CLOVERFIELD LANE – The Man behind Star Wars/Trek & Mission impossible takes on Horror, Thrillers & Sci-Fi & that’s just for starters

    Nutshell – If ever there was a film that the less you know and see of it in advance it is this one. Is it a sequel to the original excellent Cloverfield ?… Well it’s in there somewhere, but with JJ Abrams in the background, who gave us 150 episodes of the ultimate spoiler friendly show Lost before Star Trek and the galaxy far far away there will always be more questions than answers. Part one is effectively Saw like then it hits full-blown Hitchcock for the tense 3 plus hander second section before the third part comes along which is a real barnstorming gobsmacker. Basically three people trapped in an underground bunker after an unknown possible Russian attack. Something for everyone then.

    Time – 102 mins (and you won’t be able to take one minute more); Certificate – 15

    Tagline – “Monsters Come In Many Forms” or do they !!!!!!!

    THE GAY UK FACTOR – No gay angle and nothing really for your cock here so take your straight mates and have a night of quality brain food rather than ogling Messrs Hemsworth, Statham or Reynolds and forgetting the plot.

    Cast – A tight team like a good stage play of John Goodman, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Gallagher Jr and oh there is a sex god in it with the voice of Bradley Cooper.

    Key Player – Mary Elizabeth Winstead is so good here and just as well as she is in every scene. She is believable when vulnerable and can switch to funny or fight back mode in a second which happens a lot here. The film would have been bigger with a starrier cast though.

    Budget – $15 million one of the lowest budget American films we have reviewed for a very long time but don’t worry this should make it into the English dictionary under ‘less is more’ and oh that climatic last act… So far it has made back 5 times its budget at $75 million and climbing now that’s a better investment than British Steel.

    Best Bit – 40 mins; Well we couldn’t pick anything from the last act due to spoiling the twists for yourselves. At 40 mins Michelle sees the effects outside of the bunker for the first time creating more questions than answers and then gets trapped in an airlock between two evils.

    Worst Bit – 30 mins; When the three in the bunker start to let their hair down and relax, have fun and tick the days off from their forced ‘two year’ confinement all to the poppy tune Tell Him by the Exciters. They should have used Bette Midler’s version. It lets up the tension probably necessarily but us gay guys love a full on thrill ride with no brakes.

    Little Secret – The petrol station in the film is not Esso or Shell but Kelvin the same as in JJ’s Super 8. It is a tribute to Abram’s maternal grandfather and he puts it in all his projects; In Mission Impossible it is on a letter, in Star Trek the ship is called the USS Kelvin etc etc and we know where it is in Star Wars The Force Awakens but we will let you find that for yourselves – it’s a doozey ! JJ describes this film as the ‘Blood Relative’ of the original movie and in the future they will be linked together in a whole Cloverfield universe with other movies he hopes to make which will be tough as the first one is hand-held camera footage and this is standard filmed action from beyond the fourth wall that we are used too.

    Movie Mistake – There are so many mysteries in this film that you are not sure what is a film mistake and what is deliberate to keep the questions flying around. Should the blood on the ring from the dead girl some years ago be still wet, the appearing and disappearing bandage on Goodman’s leg is it a mistake or the passage of time and the change of daytime to night in the ‘farmhouse’ scene was it deliberate. What is wrong is the ease that a character gets radio messages in one scene but not for the rest of the movie and oh that ever-changing size of spaghetti. Where was the continuity boy, probably off set blowing someone to try and get a walk on part.

    Awards – Not for this one but it will boost Winstead’s career immensely and it is great to have Goodman back. JJ Abrams is probably working on Cloverfield 3 which we will probably get before his next Star Wars outing.

    Further Viewing – Cloverfield, Room, All 53 of Alfred Hitchcocks, Saw’s 1-6, Sleuth and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Also Metal Hurlant Chronicles: Shelter Me which has the same plot and even the same character name, and series two of Lost where a guy is staying in a bunker fearing outside contamination with the same end results so now JJ is recycling his own plots and we are starting to feel as though we are trapped in a time-warp on an island with a smoke monster and some polar bears.

    Any Good – If you want a great thriller that is not like anything you have ever seen before although in many ways is this is for you. A great change from all the blockbusters and superheroes but fans of those will appreciate this too. A lot of great talent is behind this film and as the budget is so low these creative genius’ are free to let their hair down and have fun with the story, its set-up and pay-off. Most of all it is so so tense and you will be gripping the arm of your seat so tightly as if you have just got a hold of Channing Tatum’s bulging ‘Magic Mike‘ for the very first time.

    Rating 54/100 (54th out of the last 100 films reviewed with 1 being Gay UK filmatic ejaculatery heaven and 100 being as much fun as watching a winner of the Voice’s mega successful chart career)

  • CAR REVIEW | Jeep Renegade 2.0 Multijet 2 Trailhawk 170bhp

    Chunky Monkey ★★★★

    Love it or hate it, the Jeep Renegade is here for you. And I am glad Jeep have been bold enough to make it this way. The compact Sport Utility Vehicle crossover market is awash with similar looking choices except for the Nissan Juke and now Jeep have entered the market with something different. I was granted a week’s worth of play in the new Renegade 2.0 Trailhawk.

    Jeep have gone out of their way to remind you that you are in a Jeep. Company logos are everywhere. It’s on the speaker grills, boot trim and there is even a little Willy’s Jeep silhouette on the windscreen. They have even made it an integral part of the rearview mirror units sensor housing. It also reads Jeep on the door mirror glass. It’s this attention to detail that stands out on the Jeep and shows the passion Jeep have given into getting it right on this new model.

    Their passion is further evident in the build quality. Everything feels very solid like you should expect in a Jeep but has for sometime been missing. A pleasant surprise is discovered when you realise that the Jeep Renegade is built in Italy. Parent company Fiat have finally taken building cars seriously. The Teutonic class masters had better watch out!

    To some the looks are a bit marmite. You either love it or loathe it. You can’t take away the fact it is quite square in shape despite the designers adding some curves in the panels and giving it a face. Even the wheel arches, clad in handy body protecting plastic, are square in shape. The windows are square. Even the boot opening is large and square. Its rugged looks are magnified by some retro take on the proportions and big exterior trim like the door handles. Choose your colour wisely though. The red mine came in was quickly renamed “The postman Pat Van” at work. And check out the options because there are enhancements available for that face.

    With any compact SUV with the ability to go where you want, there has to be some give and take in the ride or handling areas. Thankfully the ride wasn’t as harsh as you first thought it was. On first acquaintance with the Jeep it wasn’t as squidgy as an old Cherokee. It was as firm as the class leaders in this segment. Once I had covered a few miles I noticed it smoothed out the road quite amiably and no harsh thuds or trim rattles were evident and the heated electric seats are comfortable. What it couldn’t do was live up to the Sport in SUV. The all-weather tyres did scrabble for traction when thrown into sharp corners. The handling is safe and predictable with no bump steer evident and almost no body roll at all.

    There are plenty of 4X4 options available for you to select on the centre console. There is a solution for every surface if you so choose or leave it to work it out itself. With all its heritage there is no doubting that the Jeep would be able to take you as far away as you’d like off the beaten track.

    Sadly the fine build quality is a little lost on engine refinement. It’s not a quiet engine. It gets quieter when it gets warmer and when it is in its stride on the motorway it settles down to an inaudible hum. The smooth-shifting 9 speed automatic gearbox making changes low down keeping the engine revs around peak torque performance for when extra grunt is needed. In traffic and when the stop-start stops it, you know about it. A little more padding on the bulkhead and bonnet would sort this out to great effect. What did surprise me was those all-weather tyres bringing absolutely no road noise into the cabin. Any boxy vehicle with this amount of cabin space is almost always susceptible to a little bit of rumble. You would have to drive with square wheels for it to become an annoyance, especially in the back.

    It doesn’t lack back seat passenger space but it does lack things to do. One passenger I had complained that there was nothing to do except look out of the full-length panoramic sunroof. I’m glad she found enjoyment in this £1100 option. Sadly, in this case, the square shape of the Jeep does make it unbearable to have open over 30mph. Thankfully the driver is not bored. The driving position is commanding in location and all viewpoints were clear, the large windscreen posts were not intrusive into the forward view. The facia layout was very clear and setting up the features as fitted to this model were made easy from its steering wheel buttons and heads up display. The comprehensive infotainment system was simple to use and comprehensive. I don’t know if it was intended as a bit of fun but the poo coloured mud splatter on the rev counters limit area was the butt of endless jokes.

    The £200 LaneSense option is worth having. Unlike some systems, it either over-assisted or stiffened up when driving between lanes unless you indicated first. For a relatively new system to me I have to say that the Jeep’s worked well, however for something that could have the potential to save lives if one was to nod off at the wheel, it automatically switches off if it detects no hands on the wheel.

    Running costs for such a vehicle are quite easy to live with. It arrived to me managing 39.9mpg. I had managed to get that down to 37mpg with my usual mix of driving and then back up to 39.8mpg when it was returned thanks to a trip to Birmingham and back.

    There are a few niggles about the Jeep I would like improved but there was nothing that made me wish I was driving something else. As mentioned the engine noise ruined an otherwise nice driving space and if it wasn’t for the sunroof, the cabin would be a bit dark. Would l have one? Yes but not in red!

    TRAVEL REVIEW | B-Apart of Brussels

With the gay scene in London becoming somewhat embarrassing, take an easy ride to this quaint, convenient and charming city where you can pelt yourself into their friendly and loyal gaybourhood.

    Accommodation options available to travellers used to be limited mainly to hotels and dare I say it hostels however in the last say 8 years we have seen an increase of shared accommodation services that entice LGBT travellers – they are all great and serve a purpose yet if you are in need of modernized surroundings with complete privacy in a generous spaced apartment and not a ‘bedroom sized’ hotel room then the option of B-Aparthotels should be high on your list.

    B-Aparthotels has 5 pristine properties in the Brussels city area and located close to the important fun things to do – especially their property near Grand Place. Instructions to enter this fresh and orderly establishment is very slick and whilst there is no reception desk staff you instantly receive a warm welcome with the cleanliness and sleek instructions on how to obtain your room key in order to navigate to your very own apartment.

It also made travelling for families and groups expensive, with multiple rooms required to accommodate everyone. Features, unique to apartment hotels, allow you to cook your own meals, do your own laundry, and relax with plenty of space. B-Aparthotels attracts guests who stay for days, weeks or months at a time.
