There aren’t that many bands whose musical output and fame spans some 6 decades. But an American duo, who originally performed in 1956, under the name ‘Tom & Jerry’ and are still today one of the most recognisable groups ever. Their music is, for many people, the soundtrack to their lives and their songs are as well-known today as they were when they were originally released all those years ago. The duo is, of course, Simon & Garfunkel and I managed to catch The Simon & Garfunkel … [Read more...]

5-star The Mentor at the Vaudeville Theatre
Having a son-in-law with a penchant for the peaty flavour of Speyside single malt I felt nicely placed to appreciate the recurring whisky schtick that garnishes this engrossing and amusing play. The central character of The Mentor is an over-the- hill, once-wunderkind, solo-hit- wonder playwright who advocates Speyside, in true whisky-bore fashion, to add to his collection of pet small-talk obsessions like ex-smoker bore, thrice-married-womaniser-bore and … [Read more...]
