Book review: Blind Spot, by Teju Cole

10 Aug 2017 16:50 Living by the Sword

On the face of it, this latest book from the writer and photographer Teju Cole shouldn’t take long to read. Consisting of 158 photographs taken by Cole around the world, each one accompanied by a short essay, there can’t be more than 20,000 words in it.

Music review: KT Tunstall at Kelvingrove Bandstand

09 Aug 2017 09:23 Living by the Sword

KT Tunstall is a slick entertainer. She knows how to work a crowd. Her gigs are full of jokey call-and-response routines, requests to wave your phone in the air, and to sing along to songs you’ve never heard before (don’t worry, she’ll teach you how the simple chorus goes first).

Music review: Celine Dion at Glasgow Hydro

09 Aug 2017 09:09 Living by the Sword

Over the course of two hours in the company of arch balladeering chanteuse Celine Dion, the last thing any non-devotee of hers’ might have expected to hear was Michael Jackson’s great theme song to racial...

Music review: Regina Spektor

05 Aug 2017 08:00 Living by the Sword

03 Aug 2017 12:29 Living by the Sword

About a third of the way through this book, in the middle of a scene of snort-in-public comic excellence, I realised I was going to have a hard time trying to enjoy what was coming next. By this point in the story...

Music review: Southern Fried Festival, various venues, Perth

01 Aug 2017 13:20 Living by the Sword

If there was a recurring friction at this celebration of American roots music, Donald Trump wasn’t mentioned by name. Beth Nielsen Chapman captured the prevailing feeling when she pointedly declared that she wouldn’t talk about politics lest she say something she regretted.

International Festival: how the loss of Nederlands Dans Theater’s home inspired new work

31 Jul 2017 11:00 Living by the Sword

Few things mark the passing of time more acutely than the growth of a child. In 2006, when Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT) last performed at the Edinburgh International Festival, a six-year-old girl loomed large on a screen during Silent Scream ...

Music review: Toots and the Maytals

29 Jul 2017 08:00 Living by the Sword

Frederick “Toots” Hibbert practices good vibes as much as he preaches them through the music of his now 55 years-young Jamaican ensemble Toots and the Maytals – literally the group to give reggae its name with their 1968 single Do the Reggay.

Scottish ski industry optimistic despite poor season

25 Jul 2017 17:55 Living by the Sword

For the last few years, summer has tended to be a time for celebration – or at least cautious optimism – within the Scottish ski industry, as it’s when the five ski centres traditionally release their combined “skier days” statistic for the previous season.

Book review: A State of Freedom, by Neel Mukherjee

25 Jul 2017 17:06 Living by the Sword

The Victorian novel – that great “baggy monster”, as Henry James called it – is alive and well, and being written in India. Neel Mukherjee’s third novel is a good example. Telling the story, or stories...

Interview: Milton Jones

21 Jul 2017 23:15 Living by the Sword

One of the best exponents of the one-liner in British comedy is on the other end of the phone and I’m braced for a machine gun fire barrage of witty puns and bon mots as Milton Jones limbers up for his Edinburgh Festival run.

21 Jul 2017 13:47 Living by the Sword
