WORD ON THE
STREET
WILDLIFE CAPTURED
Sure, that Farne Island seal is pretty damn
cute - but is it cute enough? Cuter than, say, a
tiny ladybird trundling across a flower?
We will find out this month as the winners of
the North East Wildlife Photography Awards are
announced at Great North Museum: Hancock.
More than 1,600 photos were entered this
year and you can see the shortlisted entries,
meet the photographers and find out who has
won at the free awards event on July 9.
As well as a preview of the exhibition, the
awards event will feature a talk from BBC
naturalist George McGavin. An exhibition of the
winning images will run until September 27.

ALL BAA NONE
With material veering from the
staunchly political to the wildly
silly, you never know what you’re
going to get with the Canadian
comic Glenn Wool.
The title of his work-inprogress show doesn’t
give much away either:
Creator, I Am But A
Pawn could be a
work of religious
soul searching or a
rant about chess.
Either way, you’re
assured a good
time thanks to his
caustic humour
and theatrical
charm.

RAISE A GLASS
TRAVEL TOP TIPS
with Lauren Atchison, Hays Travel
BEST FOR CLOTHES?
I love River Island as it’s
always up to date when it
comes to trends, and it’s
really good value.
BEST FOR LUGGAGE?
I tend to shop around when
I need luggage. So far this
year, Debenhams has had
the best offers and I’ve
bagged a couple of bargains.
BEST FOR SUNGLASSES?
I’ve never been able to keep
a pair of sunglasses for very
long so I normally grab a
couple of affordable pairs
from Primark so I’m not too upset when
I leave them by the pool or in my hotel.
IMAGE CREDITS: © Hugo Glendinning
BEST FOR GUIDE BOOKS?
WH Smith is always my go
to as their travel section
is huge.
BEST FOR SUN CREAM?
I always go to Boots just
before my holidays for all
those last minute
essentials. There are always
really good offers on and their
membership programme is fantastic!

SPLASH!
Step into the belly of a whale at BALTIC
with a new exhibition aboard a 71ft
container built to reimagine ‘the longest
lorry in the world’ used in the 1950s, 60s,
and 70s to transport a preserved whale
around Europe. Fiona Tan’s Depot reimagines
the journeys of Jonah The Giant Whale, a
massive blue whale caught in Norwegian
waters in 1952 which caused a sensation
across Europe. Google tells us the whale’s
remains are in a warehouse somewhere in
Germany, perhaps Belgium - there is some
debate - so Tan’s container is instead filled
with curiosities and a film installation offering
an insight into Newcastle’s whaling history.

can be certain that

performance.
A purveyor of

QUEER AS FOLK
Ideally timed for the city’s Pride celebrations, Joseph Mercier
and Panic Lab’s double bill of dance performances explore
queerness and masculinity.
Swan Lake 2: Dark Waters isn’t as scary as it sounds, as the
solo portrait explores the depiction of the prince in the iconic
ballet. Meanwhile, Versus’ mixed martial arts displays a fusion of
choreographed movement and wrestling to provide a thrilling dance
performance inspired by the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur.

MUSICIAN, GOSFORTH
I’ve been listening to
Oneohtrix Point
Never who is an
electronic musician.
He’s just released a
new album called
‘Comissions II’ which is fantastic. It’s
really dark and strange - in a good way.
LIAM DAVIS, 20, STUDENT, BEAMISH
I’m listening to Oliver
Heldens at the
moment. I love EDM
music because
everyone can dance
to it and everyone
can get involved. I’m hoping to see him
live, but I think it would be better to catch
him somewhere abroad where the
weather is a bit more predictable!
SAMANTHA BURNS, 20
STUDENT, NEWCASTLE
I’m listening to Jamie
XX at minute. He has
a new track called
‘Loud Places’ which

getting me through my uni work and

CUTTING EDGE
More great 20th Century art hits
Newcastle this month with the arrival
of works by Henri Matisse, hot on the
heels of Picasso’s Weeping Woman,
which has recently left town after its
starring role in a show at The Laing.
Drawing with Scissors features
lithographic prints of exuberant cut-outs
produced in the last four years of Matisse’s
life, and includes iconic images such as
The Snail and the Blue Nudes (pictured).
The lithographic reproductions in this
exhibition are from a special double issue
of Verve, a review of art and literature
published in 1958. The show focuses on
the brilliant final chapter of Matisse’s long
career. ‘There is no gap between my earlier
pictures and my cut-outs,’ Matisse wrote.
‘I have only reached a form reduced to the
essential through greater absoluteness
and greater abstraction.’

AND ENTERTAINMENT FROM A 5K FUN RUN TO A
CANDLELIT VIGIL VIA BELINDA CARLISLE

summer fete, a specially
commissioned art exhibition

fundraiser Dragged Through
the Generations as well as the
three-day centrepiece across
the city July 17-19.

line up with elite athletes for a
fundraising run (register online at
www.northernfrontrunners.co.uk).
The Town Moor stage will then
host Dale Ali, Jamie Lee Harrison
and Abba Girlz.
Saturday July 18
Hoping to top last year’s record
attendance of 7,000, the Pride
parade starts at noon at the Civic
Centre. This year’s theme - One
Love, 45 Years of World Pride
- calls for fancy dress, bright
colours and lots of noise. Over
at the Town Moor, the finishing
point for the parade, doubledenim-sporting Irish girl group
B*Witched will be joined by X
Factor finalists Lucy Spraggan
and Kitty Brucknell, British/
Belgian pop duo DeltAmour, and
local talent including Annabel
Patterson, Cortney Dixon and
Drag Idol 2015 winner, Gucci
Gabore. Saturday night sees
queer club night POKE take over
The Globe too.
Sunday July 19
‘80s pop icon Belinda Carlisle
headlines the main stage
on Sunday with live music

Sam Dickinson, Samantha
Durnan and Channy Thompson.

Belinda Carlisle
The whole city enjoys Pride - one of
its great successes is that straight
people celebrate too.
I’m a 36-year-old man, in a loving
relationship with fantastic family, amazing
friends, and living in a country that legally
recognises me, protects me and gives
me equal rights, but it’s not that long
since I would have been imprisoned, and
definitely not interviewed or given an
opportunity to exhibit my work.
Pride stems from people saying ‘I
won’t take this’, and because we can
celebrate, we should. There are people
who don’t have that opportunity.
I know what I feel, I know that being
gay is real and not a choice, so I can’t
imagine what it must be like to not
be able to be yourself. Pride sends a
message of hope to others, to show
people that they’re not alone.
For me, being involved in Northern
Pride is as much about the Northern
as the gay bit - this region is class, and
ours is one of the only free Prides of this
size, so everyone should have a good
time, be proud of Newcastle and its gay
community. I’ve got an exhibition on so
I’ll be in the gallery every day over the
weekend - apart from when Belinda
Carlisle’s on - I ain’t missing that!
