KISS HIM, KATE!
The Bolshoi Ballet’s stunning retelling of The
Taming of the Shrew is beamed live to Tyneside
Cinema in January. Shakespeare’s comedy has
been adapted numerous times for stage, screen,
opera, ballet, and musical theatre; perhaps the most
famous adaptations being Cole Porter’s Kiss Me,
Kate and the 1967 film of the play starring Elizabeth
Taylor and Richard Burton. This time, it’s retold by
French choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot and
the world-famous Bolshoi dancers. We’re so in love!

LADY GREY’S
Mordue Northumbrian Blonde (4.0% abv)
is as fresh and zesty as a the revellers
in this belting bar. A leaning towards
sweetness, a pucker of lemon and a
flirt with fruitiness slowly melt into one
memorable pub encounter.
THE CITY TAVERN
As dog-friendly as any country pub, but
high on the style. Caledonian Three Hop
Lager (4.5% abv) is rich, crisp and golden
with spicy herbal aromas and earthy
flavours, and a lingering lemon finish.
YOU, TOO…
Gin palace Pleased to Meet You, in High Bridge, has
unveiled a new look after a £500,000 expansion which
includes new cocktail club Viceroy, a new dining area,
bar, luxury events space, and private dining.

THE BRIDGE TAVERN
Wylam Jakehead IPA (6.3% abv) lurks
below a set of original Bauhaus lamps
in an avenue of handpulls and sparkling
craft fonts. Strong and complex, and
voted Britain’s Hottest Beer, it perfectly
illustrates the pub’s innovative approach.
BEHIND THE SCENES AT
THE MUSEUMS
Explore the hidden treasures of the Discovery

Indian street food pioneer Dabbawal has been named the UK’s Best Casual Dining Restaurant
in the country’s biggest annual Indian restaurant awards - the British Curry Awards 2015.
Dabbawal was recognised for leading the UK street food craze which has taken hold since
it opened its first kitchen in Newcastle in 2010. Since then, its High Bridge restaurant has led a
revolution in casual dining, with their unique take on traditional Indian street food served in its buzzing
urban kitchens. High Bridge, www.dabbawal.com
SPOOK NIGHT
With Newcastle Utd fan
Paul Dixon
FOR HIRE
With the dark nights here to stay, there’s nothing like a spooky
story to set the mood and test the nerves.
The hallowed halls of The Lit & Phil play host to an evening
of supernatural tales told by historian Gail-Nina Anderson,
poet Sean O’Brien, and crime writer Ann Cleaves.
The Grade II-listed building is the perfect location for a
spooky night in - just watch out for what lurks behind those old
bookshelves. Prepare to be severely spooked!
The Lit & Phil, January 6, £5, www.litandphil.org.uk
Get your thinking caps on, people – Andy Zaltzman is
returning to The Stand with his Satirist for Hire show and
he needs your queries, complaints, and general gripes.
The popular political comic is a master of weaving tales
around complex subjects. Whether you’re exasperated
by economics, piqued by politics, or wound up about the
world – Andy’s your man!

Someone asked me what Christmas
meant to me. Being an ageing cynic,
I said that it meant 10 days off and
more football.
What it traditionally means for
Newcastle United supporters, of
course, is a mixture of defeats and
trying to find someone sober to drive
you to and from the games during the
festive period, as Arriva is still to grasp
the concept of ‘public’ and ‘transport’
in the same sentence.
On Planet Football of course,
Christmas and New Year is a time of
frenzy matched only by WAGs in a silly
hat sale.
It’s the time when the transfer
window gives clubs a final chance to
pull away from the relegation zone,
a last throw of the dice to cling to
the Premiership. It would be nice if
Newcastle weren’t involved, but like
Christmas without Slade, it wouldn’t
be the same. I would dearly love a
change once in a while, mind! A very
merry Christmas to you all (apart from
Arriva management).

ACE OF SPADES
Earplugs at the ready, old
skool rockers - Motörhead are
heading to Newcastle.
Motörhead’s The Loudest Tour
in the World hits Europe Jan-Feb
2016, with support in Newcastle
from the legendary Girlschool.
They’re bringing a 41-year-old
back catalogue too, and if you’re
old enough to remember them
first time around, it’s to be hoped
you don’t find it too loud now.
Motörhead comprises the holy
trinity of heavy metal - Mikkey Dee
(percussion), Phil Campbell (guitar),
and the legendary Lemmy (bass
and vocals). Here’s more…
Founder member and
songwriter Lemmy (centre),
real name Ian Fraser Kilmister,
is the sole constant member
of Motörhead. Aged 70 (yes,
really), he is joined by Welsh
rock legend Phil Campbell, 54,
(left) who’s been in the band for
32 years, and Mikkey Dee, real
name Micael Kiriakos Delaoglou
(Swedish/Greek, aged 52, looks
103), who’s been in the band for
23 hard-living years.
Motörhead is widely thought
to be a reference to the drug
amphetamine (speed) after
Lemmy, who is a fan, said the name
of the band referenced ‘speed
freaks’. He has since said he was
referring to people who like cars.
The name Lemmy apparently
stems from his persistent
requests for money - “Lemmy a
few bucks”.
Of their performance at
Glastonbury in 2015, The
Guardian’s Mark Beaumont
wrote: “At 69, Lemmy is a slurring,
gargling rock wreck, a shrunken
Biker General of the Damned...
predictable but effective.”
Lemmy, who is rumoured
to have kept bourbon maker
Jack Daniels in business
single handedly over the last
50 years, was sacked about
100 years ago from the rock
band Hawkwind (he wrote
Motörhead’s first hit single,
Motörhead, for them originally).
He reckons that after they
dumped him in 1975, he bedded
all his former band members’
wives. Rock ‘n’ roll revenge is
sweet, it seems.
He also used to be a roadie
for Emerson Lake & Palmer
and for Jimi Hendrix, there is a
fantastic urban myth that he
had an orgy with all of the Nolan
Sisters backstage at Top of the
Pops (if only it were true), and he
famously has a huge collection of
Nazi memorabilia, which is nice.
When Motörhead’s biggest
hit, Ace of Spades, was adapted
for the video game Rock Band
2, its lyrics were changed to
reflect Lemmy’s legendary
immortality. “I don’t want to live
forever…but apparently I am.”
City Hall, January 23 2016, £36.50. www.newcastlecityhall.org

Braid’s work has been led

its maker? Tackling his
subject obliquely in order
to generate new angles of
understanding.
