Here comes May and our killer issue of Cityscape magazine, which rocks our cover star, metal priestess, and guitar legend Courtney Cox (not the Friends one) from The Iron Maidens – the world’s best (and only all-female!) Iron Maiden tribute act. We catch up with Courtney inside (as well as give away a double pass to catch the Maidens’ epic gig), as well as Christchurch’s hottest dance export Corey Baker, who’ll be world premiering his Antarctica-inspired The Last Dance as part of Royal New Zealand Ballet’s Dancing With Mozart in June.
Join us as we indulge in a much-needed and blissful escape/massage in the swank surrounds of Lotus at Siam Thai Day Spa, graze our way through the gastronomic goodies on offer at newbie The Camden Restaurant & Bar and the city’s iconic (and oldest) restaurant, Spagalimis Pizzeria & Bar (which turns 40 this month!).
We hang with Christchurch crooner and alt-country crossover legend Marlon Williams, meet In2Hula’s Bernadette Smith – who’s turning her bid for Christchurch to reclaim the New Zealand record for the most people simultaneously hula-hooping in one place into a fundraiser for the Heart Foundation – chat to Kiwi yogi extraordinaire Vincent Bolletta about his upcoming Yoga Therapy classes at Hot Flow Yoga, and chew the fat with Aussie comedy legend Heath Franklin ahead of his new Chopper show, Bogan Jesus.
You’ll also find our lowdown on the city’s upcoming Jazz & Blues Festival, five tasty Espresso Martinis you need to swill, and a moreish Moroccan Lentil Soup with Preserved Lemon recipe from the team at Made Espresso Bar. And of course, as usual you’ll get our signature round-up the best of the month’s gigs, events, films and music in the city.
Look out for it in all the usual spots, or tear into things online here!
