Have we got a celeb-packed August issue of Cityscape magazine for you? Check it out, inside you’ll find interviews with UK comedy superstar and living legend Bill Bailey ahead of his Earl of Whimsy tour in Christchurch this September, we pick the brains of best-selling US author A.J. Finn (who’s literary debut The Woman in the Window sparked a buyer frenzy), find out how he came up with his pseudonym and why Amy Adams was his only choice for the lead character in the movie adaptation. Finn is coming to town as part of the epic WORD Christchurch Festival where we run the ruler over this mammoth event cramming 150 literary icons (think Irvine Welsh, Sonya Renee Taylor, Philip Hoare, Hollie McNish, Shaun Bythell and so many more) into 100 events over 5 glorious days and nights of wordy enlightenment. We also catch up with Kiwi music legends Julia Deans, who’s bringing her We Light Fire album tour to the city, and The Phoenix Foundation’s frontman and Hunt for the Wilderpeople soundtrack creator Lukasz Buda about the band’s 20th birthday celebratory tour with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra hitting the Isaac Theatre Royal this month. We also catch up with NZ art master Dick Frizzell whose larger than life exhibition Something to Behold! is about to open at The Central Art Gallery. Elsewhere, we give you the rundown on the New Zealand International Film Festival, meet the inimitable and colourful personality behind swanky hair salon True Grit: Jacqui Victor, meet the dynamic duo and Fascial Stretch Therapists extraordinaires behind Restore Prehabilitation & Recovery, Barry Adams and Liv Bates, whip up tasty Buddha Bowls with Untouched World Kitchen’s Mark McCracken and dine out in serious style (complete with breakfast cocktails) at Miro. Oh, and there’s also our signature round up of the best-of-the-best in gigs, events, films and music. Enjoy!
