or are they ???Everyone is equally important and valued? Lets face it Sesame Street

lied to you, and your mum and it would seem, the good people behind

the hilarious show,Avenue Qthat adorns our cover. But what fun thatdisappointment has spawned. All the feel-good fun, sing-along tunes and

endearing puppet characters of the Street or the Muppets - but with the

rose-tint set to zero and acerbic humour set to eleven. Song titles like

Everyones a Little Bit Racistand If You Were Gayor The Internet is

for Pornmight suggest something mean-minded but disguise a show

of limitless joy. Perhaps not for the really easily offended - but we know

YOUre not faint-hearted in the face of such things, eh? Go get some.

And then reflect on the ridiculousness of racism and homophobia and

nationalism and Sesame Street and life. Or not

More intriguing creativity at IG:LU in CHURCH STREET this month, the show, which runs

from THU 19SUN 29 JUN going by the name IS IT ART? IS IT WORTH IT? THAT WILL

DOIts a showcase for two young, now Edinburgh-based artists, sculptor MICHAEL KAY

[1]and painter BETH CAREY [2].

Works on display include Kays minimalistic geometric sculptural forms, where he strips

away the unnecessary to focus on the conceptual with a sense of wit and irony. Careyscreations contrast and complement Kays with her investigations with paint on canvas. She

explores vivid colour and the natural movement of her chosen medium across a surface to

evoke a sense of the biological and fluid.

Meanwhile over at IMAG, flowers and representations thereof are the order of the day with

a couple of exhibitions:

KARL BLOSSFELDT: ART FORMS IN NATURE [3](07 JUN05 JUL) reveals the work of a

German photographer (18651932) celebrated by the Surrealists and early modernists

for his pioneering close-up images of plants and flora. - NB: images for illustrative purposes only.BUD TO BLOOM [4](14 JUN12 JUL) is an exhibition of contemporary craft works inspired

by the natural world and life-cycle of plants, selected from the Crafts Council Collection.

The shapes, patterning, colours and materials of the works in the exhibition have been

influenced by plants, flowers and fruit, in playful, creative and experimental ways. This

exhibition includes leading UK glassmakers ANGELA JARMAN and NEIL WILKIN, textile

artist MICHAEL BRENNAND-WOOD, designer TORD BOONTJE, silversmiths DAVID

CLARKE, JUNKO MORI and LIN CHEUNG, and ceramicists FELICITY AYLIEFF, MARY

ROGERS and RICHARD SLEE (pic 4- NB: item may not be part of show).

If all that gives you a hankering to do something yourself, there are a couple of workshops

in flower photography using your mobile phone on 14 JUNE, 10AM1PM & 18/25 JUNE,

79PM. Run in conjunction with Inverness College UHIand lead by MATT SILLARS, lecturer

in photography, the first session will involve taking photos at Inverness Botanic Gardens

followed by two evenings at the colleges Longman Campus showing you how to enhance

the images using free software. 10 for all 3 sessions, booking is essential as places are

limited. To book tel: 01463 237114.

Classics & MoreKudos to the folk at Bogbain Farm for kicking of the festival season last month in fine style

with Brew At The Bog. And theyre looking to keep the momentum going with NORTHERNROOTS FESTIVAL INVERNESS(28 May01 JUN) an event which used to take place entirelyat the farm, but this year finds itself spread around venues in Inverness itself, with the

likes of RACHEL SERMANNI[1], AOIFE ODONOVAN, WILL POUND, BELLA HARDY, THEDIRTY BEGGARS, ADAM HOLMES, BLUE ROSE CODE, FINDLAY NAPIER, ANNA MASSIEand MIKE VASSappearing at EDEN COURT and HOOTANANNY, plus a ceilidh at BOGBAINto round things off. More: northernrootsfestival.com

Its a great month for lovers of all things classical. Not only is there a chance to take in

Scottish Operas acclaimed production of MADAMA BUTTERFLY(see theatre pages formore), there are also appearances by several noted ensembles. STRATHPEFFER PAVILION

is particularly well served, with the HIGHLAND CHAMBER ORCHESTRAperforming worksby Beethoven, Saint-Saens, Copland and more on 01 JUN, then the SCOTTISH CHAMBERORCHESTRA [2]making their annual visit on 25 JUN with a programme that includespieces by Schubert, Haydn and Mendelssohn.

More classical treats (and indeed more Mendelssohn) at NAIRN COMMUNITY CENTRE

on 08 JUN when the FEJES STRING QUARTET [3], one of Scotlands premier chamberensembles will play an engaging programme of old Felix as well as Mozart and

Shostakovich. And, on 14 JUN at ARDROSS COMMUNITY HALL, visionary guitar virtuoso

SIMON THACKER and the outstanding young Polish cellist JUSTYNA JABLONSKA [4]present KARMANA, combining elements from classical, jazz, Indian, Flamenco, Celtic andBalkan musical traditions.

Still on the Balkan tip, the BUDAPEST CAF ORCHESTRA [5]come to EDEN COURT on11 JUN. Inspired by the music of the Balkan gypsies, the playlist ranges from tragic and

evocative ancient Jewish melodies to traditional Romanian or Russian dances, Hungarian

Czardas, Ukrainian folk songs and much more, including many of the musicians own

electrifying compositions. Rather wonderful.

A word too for the folk duo of MARIT FLT & RONA WILKIE [6](EDEN COURT, 04 JUN)who draw upon their geographical roots to explore the commonalities between Scandi-

and Scottish Highland tunes. Expect all manner of musical styles, brought to life by

Ronas fiddle virtuosity and Marits breath-taking mastery of the versatile ltmandola, an

instrument whose very name intrigues

YOLANDA BROWN [7]is a virtuoso on a rather more traditional instrument, the saxophoneand following a hugely successful visit here last year shes back at EDEN COURT on 19JUN, no doubt demonstrating why shes being lauded as one of the finest new talents in

British jazz.

Ken Kelman: Ironic irony. . .

I know weve touched on this

subject before, but every time

I hear Alanis Morissettes

Ironic it rankles me that there

is nothing really ironic about it.

And Ive heard it again recently

and the ranklings back with

a vengeance. black flies in

your Chardonnay .. only spoons

in the drawer when youre

desperately seeking a knife -

these scenarios are not irony,

theyre Sods Law at best .. or

as most of us wouldhave it just life.

This time though Ive

started to wonder if

maybe Alanis originally

had genuinely ironic

situations in mind but

due to poetic constraints

and the need to fit the

whole thing into a four

minute pop song these

were so seriously edited

that the irony was lost.

What I propose to do

therefore is to try to

re-create some of the

original situations

Lets start with the line in

the chorus: Its like rain on yourwedding day. Imagine the chap

in question, the Groom if you will,

is a TV weather forecaster .. but

not a very good one. Every day he

diligently forecasts the weather.

Every day he gets it wrong. He

cant help himself, he plugs the

figures into the algorithms, runs

the predictions on his computer,

stands confidently in front of his

weather map, tells everyone itll

be dry, calm and sunny - next

day theres a blizzard and force

ten gales. The Friday before his

Saturday wedding the software is

suggesting rain for the next day,

rather than being disheartened

our hero is well pleased, he knows

hes no good as a forecaster, he

knows he always gets it wrong ..

thats why hes smiling in front of

the camera at six oclock as he

confidently predicts rain on his

wedding day. Next day, outside the

church at three in the afternoon,

the heavens break - for the first

time ever hed got the forecast

right - ironic isnt it.

Next: its meeting the man ofmy dreams .. then meeting his

beautiful wife.. Im imagining

here that the lady in question

runs a computer dating agency.

Shes a generally impulsive,

devil-may-care sort of character,

who at 43 is thinking it might be

time she settles herself down and

gets married. Trouble is shes not

sure if its ethical to use the data

gathered by her own web site to

track down her perfect man. Of

course shes already done this

and found someone whos so

unequivocally right for her that

shes beginning to think computer

matching might really, actually,

work. Shes swithering though,

normally her impulsive nature

would ensure shed met the

man by now but well, you know -

theres still the ethics. Hang it

she thinks .. and quickly arranges

a social-evening for two weeks

hence, to which she invites all

her subscribers - shell snare him

there!

Two weeks elapse andacross a crowded room,

over the gentle murmur

of conversation and clink

of champagne glasses,

she spots her quarry. And

he spots her. Their eyes

meet and his smile shows

hes clearly attracted

to her, after 20 years in

the dating industry, she

can just tell. They move

toward each other, in her

mind, the attraction in

his eyes growing by the

step .. I should have

done this weeks ago she

thinks. And indeed never

a truer word was thought

as he introduces her to his newwife and its like looking in a

mirror. Theyd met through the

web site only 10 ten days before

and in a whirl-wind romance of

almost unimaginable spontaneity,

married just twenty-four hours

ago. Theyd come to thank her

and cancel their subscriptions.

As for a no-smoking sign on

your cigarette break .. I guess

that could be ironic simply if you

worked on a tobacco plantation..

KEN

An old man turned ninety-eight

He won the lottery and died the next day

Its a black fly in your Chardonnay

Its a death row pardon two minutes too late

And isnt it ironic dont you think

A traffic jam when youre already late

A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break

Its like ten thousand spoons

when all you need is a knife

Its meeting the man of my dreams

And then meeting his beautiful wifeAnd isnt it ironic dont you think

A little too ironic.

Its like rain on your wedding day

Its a free ride when youve already paid

Its the good advice that you just didnt take

Who wouldve thought... it figures

Walk the streets of Inverness and youll notice that somewhere amid the leisurewearntats

homogeneity theres a growing band of folk developing an individual, creative fashion style. Good

news then that this month sees the launch of HIGHLANDS FASHION WEEK [1] running from

0207 JUN with a whole week of workshops taking place at IG:LU in CHURCH ST. Free of charge

and completely open to the public, the workshops will offer advice on many different areas of the

Fashion used to play a major part in the creative industries get-together GoNORTHwhich now

seems to have found a natural home here, taking place this year on 04 & 05 JUN. This time round

though, matters couture are taking something of a back seat with only one seminar about such

things. Emphasis is again mainly on music with performances at venues all around town from

the likes of BROKEN RECORDS, NEON WALTZ, MIAOUX MIAOUX and more, a discussion with ex-

Skid RICHARD JOBSON and plenty of talks about various aspects of the music biz. Theres also

a strong film-makers strand with almost 40 submitted shorts being screened and this year, for

Brazil is not the only place hosting a World Cup this month theres another one to enjoy

closer to home in the form of the UCI MOUNTAIN BIKE WORLD CUPat FORT WILLIAM on

07 & 08 JUN. The two day festival of mountain biking on a staggeringly impressive course

is historically recognized as one of the best two-wheel events in the world, attracting top

athletes from more than 25 nations and this years staging is bound to impress. Its a

fine spectator sport too so if you want to find out more, head to fortwilliamworldcup.co.uk

Fort William is going to be pretty busy that weekend as on 08 JUN it also hosts THE GREAT

GLEN RALLY. Building on the success of last years rally, this Highland Car Club event lets

you enjoy, for 70, a days motoring fun with scenic non-competitive road sections, special

tests and class awards in many categories. More info at highlandcarclub.co.uk

Back on two wheels and building up the excitement ahead of the Tour De France at the

beginning of July, the Highlands hosts the CAIRNGORM MOUNTAIN CYCLOSPORTIVEon

14 JUN. Its the UKs highest event on a public road (632m) and the routes (theres a

choice of two) take you from the heights of Cairngorm through the north of the Spey Valley.

This lesser known area has stunning scenery and quiet roads, which should make for

quite a ride though apparently the Tour Of Britain organisers still refuse to acknowledge its

brilliance as a potential stage. Their loss. More details at handsonevents.co.uk

Finally, more physical exertion celebrated at the NAIRNSHIRE CHALLENGE(22 JUN), a

30-mile duathlon on foot and bike in which competitors cover 12.3 miles on rough tracks

through the grouse moors of Cawdor Estate, before changing onto bikes at Drynachan for

the 17.7 miles back to Nairn on marshalled single track roads. Head to nairnshirechallenge.

American Dreams

DANCECOMEDYCABARET DRAMA MUSICAL

CABARET>COMEDY> DANCE> DRAMA> MUSICALS> MORE >

Theres a real sense of verve to the programming at EDEN COURT these days, reflecting a

growing self-confidence that ensures a consistently high quality of offerings doing justice

to what its easy to forget is a remarkable artistic venue. As if to emphasise this admirable

swagger and firmly rebutting any notions of parochialism that hang rather too heavy in the

air these days, this month sees the venue looking across the Atlantic to present some

glorious American creations.AVENUE Q [1](17 & 18 JUN) had the critics hollering accolades to the heavens when it

opened on Broadway and holds the rare distinction of winning a trio of TONY awards (the

US version of the Oliviers) for Best Musical, Best Scoreand Best Book.

The story of a college graduate moving to New York serves a starting point for a riotous

production involving Muppet-esque puppets, hilarious songs and even a little politics,

both personal and public. Its penned by Robert Lopez, co-creator of the West End and

Broadway smash-hit the Book of Mormonand like that one it manages to combine a

delicious irreverence with some very well made points (as the singalongs Everyones a

Little Bit Racist, If You Were Gay andThe Internet is for Porndemonstrate). Rarely hasthe puppetry/showtune interface been so successfully explored. Unmissable.

When it comes to Stateside theatre, SAM SHEPARD is generally regarded as that nations

most inventive and exciting playwright, matched only perhaps by David Mamet, but with

a far more varied and cherishable body of work behind him, not to mention a rather fine

parallel career as both actor and songwriter (hes written songs with Bob Dylan and played

banjo on Patti Smiths cover of Nirvanas Smells Like Teen Spirit).

Much of that is explored in the ambitious CHORALE: A SAM SHEPARD ROADSHOW [2]

running at EDEN COURT on 12 & 13 JUN comprised of three plays, two films, a night of

music and a workshop. Phew.

Visceral early play The Holy Ghostlyand the poetic monologue The War in Heaven, make

up the Thu double bill, whilst the following day kicks off with a 2pm workshop on the

collaborative theatre of Shepard with Joseph Chaikin, centred on a screening of award-

winning director Shirley Clarkes film Tongues(16+), led by director Simon Usher. Later,

the double bill features the little seen film version of Savage/Love(also directed by Clarke)

followed by a live performance ofThe Animal (You), a journey through the landscape of

Shepards music. After all that theres a solo live music performance by Herons!(aka Ben

Kritikos) who provides live music for the performances and whose work is reminiscent of

Sam Shepards music. More details at eden-court.co.uk

THEATRE

Theatre And BeyondTheres an abundance of great stuff at EDEN COURT this month and dramatic productions

dont come much more enduring than THE MOUSETRAP [1](23-28 JUN). The film rights

were sold when Agatha Christies archetypical murder mystery was first taken to the stage,

but only on condition that a movie couldnt be made until the run ended. Sixty years later thestudios are still twiddling their thumbs. The longest running show of any kind in the history

of British theatre - with over 25,000 performances-is now going on tour and stopping off up

here to deliver what remains a thriller whose elements still echo across the work of so many

thriller writers since. Dont miss it, but agree to the traditional promise audiences must make

not to give away the ending.

Another timeless classic is Puccinis MADAMA BUTTERFLY [2] and youll get to enjoy

possibly the most memorable-tune packed opera ever written if you head along to SCOTTISH

OPERAs production on 05 &07 JUN. The story of Cio-cio-Sans heartbreaking love affair with

a US naval officer never fails to move and this revival of Sir David McVicars 2000 production

is a particularly impressive staging.

An always welcome visitor to these parts is the MICHAEL CLARK DANCE COMPANYand

ANIMAL/VEGETABLE/MINERAL [3] (13 JUN) promises to be as intriguing (and elusive)

as always. Theres music from Scritti Politti and Sex Pistols in Clarks history of close

collaboration with contemporary artists, designers and musicians. And bodies bending every

which way.

Its not just inside Eden Court that all the action is happening, as the venue presents acouple of fascinating looking events this month in spaces hitherto unused for theatre. Like

INVERNESS TENNIS & SQUASH CLUB, the venue on 11 JUN for SQUISH SQUARED [4]

presented by Room 2 Manoeuvre. Part of the Commonwealth Games culture strand its a

humorous contemporary dance duet about the competitive streak men have, so a squash

court is the perfect location to examine such impulses. You watch through the glass and

after the show get the opportunity to whack a few squash balls.

Another seemingly unlikely, but actually perfectly apt venue is SO COCO on the corner of

CHURCH ST and the HIGH ST, where you can see INDIAN PETERS COFFEE HOUSE [5]on27 JUN. It tells the true, extraordinary story of Scotsman Peter Williamson (1720 1799) who

was kidnapped in Aberdeen, sold as a labourer to a farmer in Pennsylvania and then captured

and enslaved by native Americans before returning to Scotland and, as you do, opened his own

coffee house in Edinburgh, ran a private post office and invented a submarine for commuting

across the Firth of Forth to Fife. Sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction.
