My health: Nate James, soul singer
I do a lot of cardio stuff at the gym for being on stage. I need to have the least amount of sweat to avoid patches. I eat healthily, a lot of fish and pasta. Breakfast is typically porridge and toast or sometimes a bacon and cream cheese bagel, but with the fat cut off.

Wellbeing: health and happiness
This week: Hiccups
Poor old Chris Sands. The 24-year-old singer from Lincoln, has been hiccupping for 15 months, even in his sleep. He is now hoping an operation can cure the problem. But with this extraordinary condition, there are no clear answers.

Mark Padmore/Julius Drake, RSAMD, Glasgow
Review: One was aware, after having listened to tenor Mark Padmore and pianist Julius Drake for the best part of 90 minutes (and held my breath for what felt like the same amount of time) that something rather special had just happened.

SCO, City Hall, Glasgow
Review: Music critics are asked endlessly to explain the star system at the top of a review. Is it for the orchestra? For the interpretation? The soloist? The conductor? Is it for the magic (or otherwise, of course) of the moment?

The Making of Doubt, Tramway, Glasgow

Worm has turned in the battle to repel growing food landfill
Ethical Living: It was one of the more unusual gifts we got that year: circular sections of black plastic and a white package that squirmed of its own accord. Since then, five years ago, the insects in our wormery have chomped their way through countless veg peelings and tea bags.

Creating an image in our likeness
A trio of pioneering image-makers are creatively curated in Dundee to reveal to Jack Mottram the origins of feminist video art

Midori, RSAMD, Glasgow
Review: This billing should really have been enough to draw a bigger audience for Wednesday’s early-evening concert. And the fact that world-renowned violinist Midori performed such an intriguing programme quite so brilliantly made it even more disappointing that there were not more members of the general public there.

Kick back and work for Scotland’s freedom? Not for me!

The West Lothian question: a matter of virility
