Review: Blood Brothers, Edinburgh Playhouse

Seeing Blood Brothers again after so many years was an unforgettable experience, says Fiona Tenneb. ★★★★★ The first time I saw Blood Brothers I was 13 years old, and the musical was relatively new.

Review: The Grahamston, Glasgow

Ellie Forbes heads to The Grahamston at Radisson Blu Glasgow to sample their new menu.   I like getting dressed up on a Saturday evening for a night in the city. It’s a marked change from the usual Monday to Friday attire of muddy dog walking gear. And if you are in the market for…

Review: Zhima, Glasgow

Ellie Forbes heads out to Glasgow’s latest hotspot, Zhima, a Chinese restaurant with a modern feel and incredible interiors.    I’m not really one for a ‘sit down’ Chinese meal. In all honesty, I’d rather stay in and order my favourites from my local takeaway. You know what you’re getting and you don’t have to…
