Must Go See

Starry Starry Night

by Jet Set Ayo Sue on Jan.25, 2010, under Must Go See

I must apologise for the lack of blogs of late, this is due to the fact I have enjoyed a longer than usual time flitting from place to place, where I have been at the behest of engaging hosts. However, this pleasant distraction has now come to an end and you will be pleased to know that I am back and raring to go. Also can I thank those of you (darlings) who e-mailed me expressing their concern for me in the lack of communication , your concern is touching and fondly received. But as I say I’m back and raring to go and what better way than to start with the exhibition of a favorite of mine, the toured geniusclip_image0023 The Real Van Gogh: The Artist and His letters. So much has been written about Van Gogh already than any additional analysis would render itself immaterial amongst the past plethora of written work available, so I won’t venture it here. The Real Van Gogh: The Artist and His letters is an exibition in the main galleries of The royal Academy of Arts. It focuses on Van Gogh’s correspondence, and gives a rare sight into the inner thoughts of his giant amongst artists.  The delicate state of the letters meant that the letters have rarely been shown in public an along with them as a result many unseen drawingsclip_image0041. Surprisingly it’s been 40 years since a major exhibition of Van Gogh has appeared in London. The exhibition starts 23rd January - 18th April 2010 and I for one will  not be missing this opportunity to gaze in awe at the genius of his work and perhaps learn little more about the inner thoughts of this troubled genius.

If you would like to join me in what will be rewarding experience, send me an email and let’s go together.

 


Namaste.

Michael Bolton

by Jet Set Ayo Sue on Oct.14, 2009, under Must Go See

 

Here are a couple of dates to put in your diary, Monday 2nd November and Tuesday 3rd November. Why are those dates special you ask? Appearing at the Royal Albert Hall for two nights only is multiple Grammy award winning, 53 million selling album, has a star on Hollywood’s walk of fame, has sung with some of the best artists in the world, including the late Luciano Pavarotti and Ray Charles written songs with, Bob Dylan, as well as writing the odd hit for Kiss and Barbara Streisand. The list of achievements and artists he has performed with is endless.

Michael Bolton  is widely regarded as one of the best male artists around. I love all his songs but this two are my favourites. listen here ;  How Am I suppose To Live without You    

             and  

       When A Man loves A Woman

His music spans all genres and is more than able to hold his own when singing alongside the three Tenors, Pavarotti, Placido Domingo and Jose Carerras. and

And whilst some may remember him from when he wore his hair long, perhaps not the best fashion statement  clip_image003 since he’s had a good haircut. clip_image005

But whatever you thought about the hairstyle back then paled into insignificance when he sang. Michael Bolton is simply one of the best artists around. He has worked with some of the best and collaborated with such a diverse range of performers, giving testament to his immense talent as a singer/songwriter.

I can’t wait till the concert at the Royal Albert Hall. Michael Bolton is by far one of my most favourite singers and when he puts on a concert, I for one will definitely be there and if you have any sense you will too.

Turner At The Tate

by Jet Set Ayo Sue on Sep.23, 2009, under Must Go See


 

A favourite pastime of mine as many of you will be aware is to indulge in my passion for the arts. And yesterday evening 22nd September 2009, I attended a private viewing at Tate Britain exhibition    of Turner and the Masters’. There is always something rather special about a private viewing and when it is a private viewing of one Britain’s foremost artists.

The exhibition opens to the public on the 23rd and runs to the 31st January 2010.

 

JMW Turner turner20self20portrait is among the most considered and respected landscape artists. He was fiercely competitive and was unabashed at comparing himself against his rival John Constable as well as many of the great painters of the time, and also past masters.

Many people will be aware of Turners dramatic storm scenes slaveship1840161k1

but he was also a grand master at English Romantic landscape work, and became widely regarded as the ‘painter of light’.11 JMW Turner provides an opulent array of landscapes and wildly dramatic storms. Tate Britain has brought together some of his finest work, indeed some of it being shown for the first time together and some for the very first time in this light. It is a remarkable exhibition which will only help to fuel the enthusiasm for one of Britain’s premiere artists.

Don’t miss out, never has there been a better opportunity to compare two of Britain’s greatest artists JMW Turner or John Constable, you decide, I couldn’t. Simply breathtaking!

On The Hoof

by Jet Set Ayo Sue on Jul.21, 2009, under Must Go See

 

It’s that time of year again. It’s the Cartier International polo Match between England and Argentina. No rivalry there then!  And it’s Cartier’s 25thyear of sponsoring this event. cartier The event is being held at the Guards Polo Club, within the Great Park, Windsor.

Being that it is the 25th year anniversary Cartier are planning much more than just a polo event. It will be Cartier international Day, with a lavish gourmet lunch prepared by Anton Mosimann.

The event will be attended by a host of stars of stage and screen and sports men and women alike and of course by none other than yours truly.  Cartier Polo matchWhich brings me to another age old dilemma? With the British weather as capricious as ever and this being a special day for Cartier I just have to have a new dress for such an event. And with a new dress just as night follows day, new shoes, Manolo Blahnik of course.

It is sure to be a fun filled day with the great and the good rubbing shoulder to shoulder whilst watching some of the best Polo players in the world. It’s one of the best events in the calendar year, gourmet food fine champagne and Pimms on tap. Just need to get my new dress and shoes and I’ll be hot to trot at the hottest ticket in town.

See you there!
