AUGUST 2014 The sun might be out, as are the ‘couldn’t care less’ attitudes. Head to the beach after work, and you’ll see people have been industriously turning it into a waterfront landfill site. The concept of picking up your litter, when leaving the beach, is simply too mind-boggling for some people. It doesn’t require the same capacity for scientific reasoning as a manned mission to Mars, but is beyond the capabilities of so many beach users. Carrying items to the beach is easy, but leaving with the empties is too physically, or mentally, taxing for many. You have to wonder what sort of filthy chaos these people live in at home. Best enjoy that beach now, while you can still see it…

Welcome to August... Welcome to August! With Pride at one end, a bank holiday at the other and stuffed with great culture and entertainment, it’s certainly a tasty month. We’re speaking to Noel Sullivan, just before his appearance in the hit musical Rock of Ages at Theatre Royal and Worldwide DJ Gilles Peterson, as he heads to Concorde 2. We take a look at Mod culture enthusiasts The New Untouchables, as their bank holiday celebrations come to Brighton for a tenth year. We’re chatting to some local talent… musician Chris Simmons as he gets ready to play a homecoming show at Komedia, actress Dakota Blue Richards about her involvement with the Young Actors Group
and Mammothfest on how they’re nurturing the local music scene. As ever we’ve got previews of the best Theatre, Music and Film coming to the City. We’ve also got a rundown of the best family activities in the area, as well as a helpful guide to spotting when it’s summertime in Brighton. As ever, food is on our mind. We sample some of the delights of The Cyclist and get comfy with a roast at The Victory Pub, as well as offering another tasty gluten-free recipe. Summer, it’s what the City was invented for.

NEWS OPEN MARKET London Road
N EW
Over 45 of Brighton’s newest entrepreneurs have already received the keys to new spaces in Brighton’s historic Open Market. With a strong focus on local producers and ethical products, traders are bringing a wide-ranging selection of produce and freshly prepared foods to the site, as well as an exceptional variety of arts, crafts, fashions, garden goods and services. In 2006, a group of stall-holders approached Brighton & Hove City Council about the possibility of redeveloping the much-loved, but underutilised, Open Market. Seeing the potential in their idea, the Council encouraged the planning of a regeneration scheme to provide a new market, arts/ crafts workshops and affordable housing. This led to the formation of the Brighton Open Market Community Interest Company (CIC) by the market traders, the Council, developer The Hyde Group and Ethical Property Company. The vision for the new market is to have fresh, nutritious, local and quality food at its heart, reflecting current concerns over health and environmental sustainability. The inviting and varied mix of stalls is already pleasing long standing customers, while attracting a new audience, helping to secure the market’s future success. For more information on the market, visit www.brightonopenmarket.co.uk
THE QUIET MARK TREEHOUSE Chestnut Tree House
One of the big highlights of this year’s RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show is coming to Sussex. Standing 9m tall, the Quiet Mark Treehouse was literally the biggest thing at the UK’s largest gardening show. Commissioned by Quiet Mark in collaboration with John Lewis, it was created as the ultimate peaceful treehouse. Everything about it was designed to showcase how our lives can be made more peaceful by choosing next-generation products and materials that perform quietly. Designed and built by Tunbridge Wells-based treehouse specialists, Blue Forest, the dramatic curved structure looks like something out of Middle Earth. Inside, its spacious 46m2 interior is soundproofed and even the glass windows and frames feature the latest in soundproofing technology. Unlike most of the exhibits at the Hampton Court, this one is going to have a life beyond the show. Quiet Mark have generously donated the treehouse to the Chestnut Tree House, the children’s hospice in Arundel. It will soon become the centrepiece of their new Woodland Walk. It’s good to think that something so special, created and made in Sussex, will be enjoyed by kids in Sussex for many years to come. By Gary Marlowe Photo (above) © by Images Out Of The Ordinary

Rising from the ashes of Three and Ten in Kemp Town, Bar Broadway is offering something a little bit different. The bar is the brainchild of Michael McGarrigle and Alasdair Jarvie.The pair are new to Brighton and have quickly learnt to love the City and its relaxed feel.
As summer turns to Autumn, and the leaves begin to fall, Brighton see’s the return of the Lantern Fayre. Taking place on the Level, this 3-day arts, music and literature festival centers on the turning of the seasons and the themes and stories of harvest.
Take the best songs from your favourite musicals, put them together with great drinks, and that’s Bar Broadway. There’ll also be live piano, music and comedy, open mic nights, themed evenings, and live performances.
Brought to you by CooktheRabbit events, the creative team responsible for the dazzling Kemp Town Carnival, the Lantern Fayre combines cinema, literature, arts and crafts, theatre, puppetry, great food and drink, a night market, children’s entertainment, circus skills workshops, a harvest feast, and some of Brighton’s best live music.
Special events planned for Brighton Pride include Charlie Hides TV coming to the rechristened “OtherPlace at Bar Broadway” theatre space on Fri 1 Aug, a Benidorm Street Party with live DJs on Sat 2 – Sun 3 Aug and Brighton actress Denise Black hosting Hazel’s Karaoke on Sun night.
As well as serving as a platform for local creative talent, the Lantern Fayre aims to promote clean energy, recycling and food waste awareness. On the Sunday of the event the Lantern Fayre will be working with the Food Waste Collective to attempt to feed 1000 people for free using gleaned food from Sussex farms and local Businesses.

BN1 CHATS WITH...
Image © by Jack Alexander
Dakota Blue Richards Sussex actress Dakota Blue Richards burst onto our screens for the first time in 2007 as young Lyra in ‘The Golden Compass’. She has gone on to star in several other films and the incredibly popular E4 show ‘Skins’. While shooting a film with John Hurt back in July, Richards took time out to have a chat with us about her new mentor role within Brighton’s Young Actors Group. How did you first get involved with the Young Actors Group? Having worked together on short film ‘Girl Power’, Ben approached me with his idea to form the Young Actors Group. He felt that I could offer something valuable, and the more we discussed it the more intrigued I became about getting involved. I’ve never studied drama myself, and would not claim to possess the skills necessary to teach somebody to act (I’ll leave that to Ben!). What I can offer is my experience in the world of professional acting and the film industry, as well as practical and emotional mentoring for those looking to start their careers.
By Holly Cozens
How do you think it will benefit young actors as opposed to normal acting schools? We’ve all heard the phrase ‘Those who can’t do, teach.’ What is special about the Young Actors Group is that the lessons we are hoping to pass on to aspiring young actors are based on real experience. Both Ben and I ‘do’ as well as teach and have developed, over our careers, a very detailed knowledge of the film industry. We also offer a support base for parents as well as for our young actors, because we know how overwhelming it can be for everyone involved. I have been where these kids are. I don’t think there are many people who can say that. Our aim is not only to develop their acting skills, but also to make sure that they, and their families, are properly prepared and supported at every stage. In this way, I think we are quite unique. What tips do you have for aspiring actors in the city? We are hoping to feature some of my top tips as part of the course, which I am very excited to be doing. But the main tip I have is to be strong. Although this business is incredibly fun and very rewarding, it can also be very hard work and at times it can feel quite unforgiving. It is important to have faith in yourself and to surround yourself with people that will be supportive and give you good advice. For me that person has always been my mum, for these kids, maybe it can be Ben and me.
BN1MAGAZINE.CO.UK [ 9 ]
Was acting always your ambition? If not, what else were you interested in when you were younger? Acting was never my ambition. I would have loved to be an actor, and I do love being an actor. But as a child I considered acting, along with singing, and becoming a princess to be highly unrealistic career paths for me.

How do you feel your acting has evolved since your debut role in The Golden Compass? I was very inexperienced when I did ‘The Golden Compass’. I would like to think that my acting has improved and I’ve become more comfortable performing and being on set. I’ve challenged myself with different roles and I’ve worked hard. I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to work with a lot of very talented, experienced and inspirational people, and I’ve always tried to learn as much as I can from them. What would be your ultimate role and whom would you most love to work with? I don’t have a singular ultimate role that I’d like to play. I can think of a few books I’d love to be in if they were ever turned into films, for example The Master, and Margarita is one of my favourites as is The Secret History. I’d love to work with Angelina Jolie. She’s been one of my favourite actresses for some time now, and I’d treasure the experience and the opportunity to learn from her. When you come home to Brighton, what are your favourite things to do in the city? I like to go for walks with my dog in the beautiful countryside around Brighton. I love being able to spend hot days on the beach when it’s not too busy, and wandering around the lanes. Brighton is also great in the evenings, there’s loads of lovely places to eat like Terre á Terre and Moshi Moshi. For great live music on evenings out, the Casablanca Jazz Club can’t be beaten. The Young Actors Group is partnered with critically acclaimed theatre, Emporium, and will be launching this summer with auditions at the theatre on Sun 17 and Sat 23 Aug with a view to starting classes in September. A term costs £172.00 and The Young Actors Group are looking to enter into partnerships with local businesses to support parents who can’t afford the full fees. If you would like to get in touch about this or to book a place on the auditions then go to www.theyoungactorsgroup.com for more information and drop an email to: info@theyoungactorsgroup.com

Chris Simmons Interview with the emerging artist
Being a local artist, do you like playing in Brighton, especially in the City’s iconic Komedia? What reception do you receive? I’ve always loved playing Brighton. Yeah, Komedia especially has been kind to me as a venue, and audience reactions there are always great. That aside, Brighton Dome and Old Market are two that are definitely ones I wanna cross off the list. You have received rave reviews and been tipped by HMV as ‘one to watch’ in 2014. How has this year gone for you? It’s been great - played Glastonbury and Isle of Wight festivals for the first time, toured with Suzanne Vega and opened for her UK theatre shows, which was amazing. Just got back from a European headline tour and some festivals in Germany and Switzerland, now I’m gearing up for the single and album release and a new run of UK shows.
By Laura Stevens
What has been your performance highlights this year in both the UK and abroad? I think my favourite show this year so far was the Cheltenham show with Suzanne Vega. It was a stunning, sold out venue and to feel that room in total silence when I played was incredible. It reminded me of the European dates I played with Passenger last year - his audiences are great to play to as well, if a bit younger than Suzanne’s! Commentators have mentioned your ability to remain grounded after touring with such artists as Passenger, Kate Nash and Seth Lakeman. How have you managed this? Grounded! I’m grounded, because I haven’t really achieved much yet! Hopefully that will change when the record comes out… I’m a total one-man operation - manage myself, book all my shows, PR and plug each gig. I am about to put out my own record so it’s a huge learning curve for me but I do enjoy it. It’s getting to the point now though where I will start actively looking for management, not so I can take my foot off the gas but to make sure I’m focusing all my energies on the right things at the right times.

If you could have any band or artist support you, who would it be? I will reverse that question and use this article as a vehicle to say that I would love to open for any of Neil Finn, Elvis Costello, Daughter, Paul Simon, Ben Howard, City and Colour, First Aid Kit. Oh man, the list goes on. Actually - I was totally blown away by Paulo Nutini the times I’ve seen him live as well and that would be a dream tour. Someone read this and sort this out for me yeah? Cheers! Who are the artists or bands that inspire your music? Well I’ve named most of them but I’m a massive Beatles nut. I listen to them at least every other day but it’s not just that stuff. I love the old Gang Starr era hip-hop too as well as bands like Royal Blood. Have you been inspired by your hometown or local area? I was born down the road in Worthing and all my first shows were in pubs there. I’ll always be inspired by that place as I spent most my life there and there are some amazing people there doing great things. There’s a growing scene, with lots of pubs having cover bands at weekends. Things have changed recently with the likes of new venue ‘Bar 42’ giving all the local original bands a place to play. The arrival of some lovely new bars and cafes like ‘The Goose’ and ‘Beach House’ on the seafront also makes it feels like something’s happening there. What do you hope to happen musically for you in 2015? Musically 2015, I will be about touring the new record and this year, I’m aiming for national radio with the new single, ‘When The Walls Come Down’, so fingers crossed.

KEVIN DEVINE Wed 6 Aug Komedia
The Green Door Store
Brighton’s attracting lots of classic hip hop acts at the moment. Now, an incredible 25 years since the release of their seminal 3 Feet High and Rising album, Del La Soul head into town. A cartoonesque explosion of oddball samples and playful wordplay, the album saw them eschew traditional rap influences and embrace pop, jazz, reggae and psychedelia.
Following their sold out debut album launch show in February, House of Hats return to Komedia. Their unique brand of Folk/ Americana has been receiving plaudits from fans and reviewers alike. Shows in America last month and a tour of Holland to come, mean 2014 should hopefully be a breakthrough year for the Brighton band.
Whimsically irreverent, they mix astute social commentary, light rhythm and laid back rhymes. Gaining massive respect, both within and outside the hip hop community, they combine musical innovation, inspiration and a message of peace and love.
With a comparison to a younger Crosby, Stills and Nash by Q Magazine, a stunning set of recent live shows and an optimistic, hopeful first full length release, there’s plenty of reason why House of Hats should be smiling right now.

Mon 18 Aug Proud Cabaret
A music project created by Brooklyn singersongwriter Jordan Lee, Mutual Benefit has a dynamic personnel roster. This sprawling collective’s debut album, Love’s Crushing Diamond, is a record of lush, watery pop songs. It was pieced together over several years and inspired by the blurred landscapes of life on the road. Intended to be a cassette-only self-release, attention generated on Bandcamp resulted in the album being picked up and properly released. A blend of lush keys, guitar, violin and banjo with homemade percussion and found sounds, these recordings feature contributions from friends and others met along the way. www.brightoncabaret.com
The Brooklyn-based Kevin Devine builds on the success of the dual release of his two Kickstarter funded albums last year. Bubblegum was recorded with the Goddamn Band and is a power-pop/rock record full of massive, fuzzy hooks. Bulldozer is a more folk-pop led album, produced by long-time collaborator Rob Schnapf and features guest vocals from Isobel Campbell.
Sat 23 - Sun 24 Aug Komedia
Acclaimed as the cutting edge in modern British jazz funk, Cut The Funk are quickly becoming a ‘must see’ band. Their debut album, Weekend Coda, has received tremendous critical acclaim by the UK and international music media and is still on the playlists of many of the world’s premiere jazz funk radio stations. Collectively they’ve worked with some of the biggest names past and present in the music industry including: Chaka Khan, Ernest Ranglin, Robben Ford, Hamish Stuart, Ben E. King, Imelda May, Sam & The Womp, The Emotions and the Impressions…the list rolls on. www.komedia.co.uk/brighton

On Sun they play ‘Mini’, with sets from Art Brut, Emma Pollock, The Cravats, Cinerama featuring Emma Pollock, BIRD, French For Cartridge and DJs Eddie Argos and Charles Layton.

GUIDE THE PAINS OF BEING PURE AT HEART
SLINT
Sat 9 Aug
Tue 12 Aug Sticky Mike’s Frog Bar
Joyful, lush and full of possibility, the New York quartet’s new album, Days of Abandon, presents something quite captivating. It’s a bright and refreshing about-face from the roar and clamour that defined their self-titled debut.
THE GARDEN Sat 16 Aug The Old Market
The Hope
Despite selling fewer than 5,000 copies when it was released, Slint’s second album Spiderland was hailed as a landmark release. Amazingly this predication came true and the LP, by a young little-known noise outfit that had already split up, marked the start of post-rock.
A constantly evolving, conceptual punk band, The Garden was established in 2011 by identical twin brothers Wyatt and Fletcher Shears. Described as “The Best Neo-Punk Band Moonlighting as Models Right Now” by MTV, the brothers take inspiration from punk, 90s hip hop and big beat electronica.
Whilst that debut stuck to a monochrome playbook of 80s English indie, their follow up was a wide-eyed paean to the 90s titans of American rock. Now the London recorded Abandon sees the Pains at their most sonically and emotionally complete. Currently they’re touring the UK, before showing Reading and Leeds festivals they mean business.
Since then they’ve attempted to reform repeatedly, but the reissue of Spiderland in a deluxe box-set - packaged with a revealing documentary about the band - has reignited interest in them once more. So now one of rock’s most influential, but least recognisable, acts is hitting the road once more.
Whilst their two-piece bass and drums core sound is dirty, raw and very immediate, The Garden’s shows are a rapid spiral into their strange parallel world where the sound and movement stops as abruptly as it starts.

There’s a sense of continuity between Malkmus’ current output and the classic indie rock of Pavement, his previous outfit. Roughly 20 years later, he’s still operating under a state of single-mindedness. He knows what he’s making is wonderful, it’s just up to the rest of the world to realise it.
Founding and former Pharcyde members Fatlip, Slimkid3, producers J-Sw!ft and LA Jay - along with some surprise guests - are performing the classic album Bizarre Ride live from start to finish. Legendary west coast graffiti artist SLICK, who designed Bizarre Ride’s rollercoaster-themed cover, is artdirecting the stage design for the night.
Gary, Indiana’s most famous son Freddie Gibbs, has partnered with Decon for his first official release, Str8 Killa EP this month. To coincide with this and continue his reign as the Midwest’s mixtape king, Freddie has also released a free mixtape version of the project titled Str8 Killa No Filla, with XXLMag.com.
Coming across as a garage band trying out a new prog-rock direction, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks continue to pretend they’re not trying. But they are really. Any fans of scuzzy, haphazard, twisting melodies will find plenty to love here.
www.theoldmarket.com
This debut album came out in 1992, a time when hip-hop was increasingly obsessed with guns, bitches and bling. Combining a self-abating sense of humour, animated beats and four distinct rhyming styles, it captured an innocence rarely seen in rap, making The Pharcyde stand out from the pack. www.thehauntbrighton.co.uk
Emerging into the public consciousness in 2009, Freddie Gibbs gained a reputation for his gritty tales of the Midwest, flexible rapping ability and his thuggish persona. His studio album, ESGN, was released in 2013 to positive reception and featured production by SAP and Tone Mason. www.komediabrighton.com

Rock Of Ages We catch up with Noel Sullivan as he takes on the lead role in Rock Of Ages Rock of Ages comes to Theatre Royal, Brighton on Mon 11 – Sat 16 Aug, 2014.
At the tender age of 19, Noel Sullivan found he was a household name, thanks to his inclusion in reality pop group ‘Hear’Say’. Now after 13 years; a slight adjustment in trajectory and a lot of hard work, he’s establishing himself as a stage show staple. Now Sullivan is helping bring a slice of pure escapism to almost every city in the land, as he takes a lead role in hit musical ‘Rock of Ages’. This huge touring production is a tongue-in-cheek romp through 80s Los Angeles. Gathering some of the best soft rock from that decade, the show feature songs like: ‘We Built This City’, ‘The Final Countdown’, ‘I Wanna Know What Love Is’ and ‘Don’t Stop Believin’’. Sullivan plays Drew Boley, a bar-tender who falls for a small town girl chasing her dreams. “It’s just brilliant! It doesn’t take itself too seriously,” the Cardiffborn Sullivan tells me. “The music takes me back to my childhood days.” I’ve caught him just after some physio, attempting to counteract the effects of running and dancing across angled stages. You can tell, by the passionate way he talks about it, theatre work is exceedingly rewarding for him. The connection with the audience is instant, he’s developing new skills as an actor and there’s more overall depth to his work now. These are all things he regards as important. Now, in the middle of another gruelling tour, he’s getting reactions some pop stars never will. “The audiences are going mental for it. People come along, have a bit of a singsong and are all up on their feet by the end of it.” He says he’d like to be fitter though. That’s probably something concerning anyone that’s spending most of their life between the start of May to the end of November performing in a physically demanding show. “Vocally I have to make sure I get ten hours of voice rest each day, which is difficult because I like a chat!” It’s no wonder why the allure of the reunion circuit hasn’t won Sullivan over. There’s little point in chasing faded dreams, when you’re already playing in front of appreciative audiences every night. He’s worked hard to finally ‘get his surname back’, reuniting with the other Hear’Say members would almost certainly be a step backward. Not that he’s critical of other acts reuniting. “If you’re a roofer or a builder and you want to relieve those glory days, then crack on.”
By Stuart Rolt
It’s hard to say if there would be demand for a Hear’Say revival. Although they knocked out a handsome 1.8 million albums before their implosion, it’d be challenging to compile a greatest hits list. The band’s five members were unsuspecting guinea pigs, almost a generation ago, in what has become a finely polished show format. Back then, Sullivan and co knew little of the music industry’s cutthroat nature and the show’s producers had no idea how the end product would work. Nowadays every sob story has been heard, media manipulation of every variety been tried and every angle has been covered in the well-oiled machines of the modern talent show. It’s even an accepted fact a successful career from a music reality show is unlikely. Having come from a pop band which underwent a dramatic rise and fall may have been a good education. There’s no arguing that Sullivan comes across as being remarkably well-grounded. Yet this unexpected early career choice hasn’t provided the easiest route to become the crown prince of feel-good musical theatre. “Because I come from there, some people think I can’t change… weirdly.” All the perseverance is paying off though. Rather than being cast as an ex-pop star, he now gets cast upon his reputation as a seasoned performer. If there are two things Sullivan’s learnt from those years, it’s to get your head down and keep going. ”Positivity is key… and don’t read your reviews!” Although the uncertain days of pop stardom are half a lifetime ago for him, he still takes time to get into the recording studio. There’s a CD coming out now, containing a mix of new tunes and unique takes on tunes from his past shows. He’s certainly had some solid musical experience, with roles in Grease, We Will Rock You, Flashdance and Fame already under his belt. He’s also toured with the recent production of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. That latter role saw incredible staging, outrageous costumes and rather extravagant wigs. Rock of Ages also looks set to feature some exceptional 80s throwback hair-pieces, so are we moving into Sullivan’s ‘wig period’ now? “I did a lot of work with no wigs,” he giggles. “But now I’ve discovered the joy of them, I never want to let them go.”

Mammoth Fest Returns We catch up with Steve Dickson and the team behind Mammoth Fest
By Stuart Rolt
Ostensibly Dickson and his team are massive music fans themselves, all of them playing in, or managing, bands already. They also expect the same level of fervour and dedication from acts hoping to join their bills. This burgeoning grassroots movement doesn’t just reach out to music fans and bands though. It aims to connect with anyone that wishes to work on their scene. Bookers, bands, artists, web designers or graphic artists, all of them can benefit from the exposure of this solid and visible network.
Steve Dickson It is accepted wisdom that you learn little from success, because only failure provides real knowledge. This may not have been much comfort for Mammothfest promoter Steve Dickson, at the ill-fated culmination of months of hard work. Thanks to an inauspicious scheduling clash, Dickson’s plans for a regular large Brighton-centric event - which brought together local and international bands - were sent into a tailspin. Ozzy Osbourne’s travelling festival Ozfest, was visiting London’s O2 the same day, prompting a sharp decline in interest for Mammothfest’s South Coast event. From this experience, Dickson realised the best way to build the festival he envisaged was to evolve his contacts, PR and media presence, then nurture the music scene he adored. “The ethos of Mammothfest is to create a platform for underground bands,” Dickson tells me, over a few beers with some of his team. “Every now and then you go and see an act, and no-one leaves the room. They’re that good!” By adopting a new attitude to promotion, one that builds a grassroots network of promoters, Mammothfest is giving the local rock/metal scene a sustainable boost. Nationwide tours and joint promotions with regional promoters further raise awareness of the Festival and its philosophy. Working on the idea that emerging acts with experience of playing with international acts can use it as leverage with promoters, they look for local bands to pair with their established bookings. The most interesting prospective bands are those releasing EPs, touring, putting shows together on their own and striving to make themselves heard. They want those bands to hear about the shows, come down and love it. “Then they’ll work at getting the bill for the next event. If they perform well enough, they’ll get booked for a larger show or a sponsored tour, which might then catch the attention of the larger acts booked to play.”
Since the emergence of global communications and networking, music acts from anywhere in the world can now go to another city and play to a crowd of established fans. But with this boom in social media, come opportunities for unscrupulous artists to create a false sense of success. It’s even possible to buy ‘likes’ from profile farms in India. Dickson says it’s fairly easy to spot bands doing this. “Bands say: ‘we’ve just got 14k Likes in the last two weeks!’ Well, have you released anything recently? Nothing? Well, how did you do that?!” To counteract this, Mammothfest uses its contacts worldwide to find out what’s hot and connect directly with promoters who know their local scene inside out, so they can bring together the best local and international acts.
The next Mammothfest is across two days, seeing 22 incredible bands come to Brighton’s Green Door Store on Sat 30 - Sun 31 Aug. Headliners are Savage Messiah and Martyr Defiled with main support from Meta-stasis and Ingested. The plan is to build on their recent successes, and the sub-culture they’re nurturing, by holding events at an open air venue just outside Brighton. Promoters nationwide are recognising the value of what Mammothfest are striving to achieve. Appreciating it’s harder to draw capacity audiences and raise awareness through unrealistically priced tickets, Dickson and co prefer to provide cheap events in local locations. This ensures fans no longer need travel for hours, or spend excessively, to see amazing bands. “Lower ticket prices mean a fuller venue and fans with more money to spend on band merchandise.” Many Mammothfest events charge a paltry £5 for ten bands, not that every fan appreciates why it’s so cheap. “Some people have actually come up to me and said: ’What’s wrong with it?’ I’m thinking I should put the price up, if it’s going to be more enticing,” Dickson jokes.

NEIL BARTLETT IN CONVERSATION WITH JULIAN CLARY
Marlborough Theatre Christina Rossetti’s darkly sensuous poem of impulsive curiosity gets accompanied by masked play and puppetry. This psychosexual allegory examines themes of seduction, sin, redemption and mourning the loss of innocence. Helping weave a dreamlike spell through the show is an improvised soundscape by Scrying Ylem and an abstract backdrop of film and lights.
Theatre Royal Brighton

Theatre Royal Brighton
Featuring a string of classic show-tunes, the soul of Broadway comes to Brighton in this major new production. This Tony awardwinning version of Irving Berlin’s classic musical stars Jason Donovan, alongside West End leading lady Emma Williams (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) and Norman Pace (Chicago).
Neil Bartlett OBE is one of Britain’s most acclaimed and adventurous theatre artists. A director, performer and translator he’s also an accomplished writer. His novels including Who Was That Man: A Present for Mr Oscar Wilde, Mr Clive and Mr Page and Skin Lane he’s explored what it is to be homosexual in the face of intolerance.
The story follows two sisters, Laura and Lizzie, who are enticed by a magical and menacing group of goblin men. The pair is offered all sorts of succulent delights - one resists, but the other succumbs.
Sharp-shooting country girl Annie Oakley falls head over heels for the star marksman of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show. Both have truly met their match, revealing their competitive natures as they vie for best shot - and each other’s hearts.
New volume The Disappearance Boy, sees an angry young man build a life in Brighton, during the 50s. Erudite, droll and painfully open on occasion, it’s fitting Bartlett should be discussing the novel with the equally wonderful Julian Clary.

Gilles Peterson We catch up with the Worldwide DJ
By Stuart Rolt
From a South London soul boy to Worldwide DJ, Gilles Peterson has devoted much of his life to bringing beats from around the world, to the world. Now we’re speaking in the middle of preparations for his weekly BBC Radio 6 show. No easy task for someone with over 20k records, in three different locations. All of them badly filed by his own admission. “I’m the most unorganised DJ ever,” he laughs. Mixing samba, bossa-nova, disco, boogie, afro-beat, jazz, hip-hop, house, latin, electronica and loads of genres you’ve maybe never heard, his DJ style is the very definition of ‘eclectic’. That’s not to say his average show is a mess of disparate sounds and rhythms. Somehow he manages to blend together all of these forms, to create a small but enlightening sample of the great music produced all over planet Earth.
Now Brighton promoters Inspired - responsible for bringing Yousef, Derrick Carter, Steve Lawler and David Morales to Brighton - have asked Peterson to light up the Concorde 2 this month. With a remit to showcase artists who’ve made a real difference to dance culture, it’s fitting that Peterson is next on their list. He says he loves DJing more than ever, believing he’s grown better at it in later years. This may be down to confidence, but to some masochistic extent he actually enjoys being occasionally put in situations where he has to try harder. “That takes years of getting used to. You have to learn how to deal with any situation.” He recalls a gig in Holland recently, where he followed two local radio personalities who played two solid hours of pop cheese. To aggravate matters, he was competing with Outkast, Chic and the World Cup Final.
“
Even at an age of 16, when most lads are considering what to do with their lives, Peterson was championing great music with a small pirate station… in his back garden. A natural progression was to try and get some of the artists he loved down for an interview in his show. A difficult task, until Incognito’s Jean-Paul ‘Bluey’ Maunick answered the young lad’s call. “I invited all these people, but none of them responded, apart from him. He came all the way from Tottenham to Cheam, my Mum made some tea and we did the interview.” That simple meeting and a love for their music, led to Peterson signing Incognito to his own ‘Talking Loud’ label ten years later. They became one of the label’s biggest artists, making 12 albums and selling millions of records in America.
This personal approach, in navigating the global music landscape, is something he continues on to this day. Many guests still come to his home studio, to be interviewed in its intimate surroundings. As he enthusiastically tells me about interviews with Bobby Womack, George Clinton and Chaka Khan, it becomes clear the biggest thrills in his life come from spending time with artists he idolises. “I feel privileged I can continue to do what I love doing, and that I can do it on all levels.”
oor, iped the fl ’s w I “ at ay. But th in a bad w e got to do… what you’v elieve in, b What you veryone ends e e otherwis g the same.” in up sound
Rarely setting out to challenge audiences, he does think the art is in the seduction of music. When he gets to play a slightly mad record that receives a terrific response from the audience, he likens it to voodoo. Throughout his radio shows, label work and live events, Peterson remains at the forefront of promoting new genres and provoking fresh sounds. Now in its ninth year his festival ‘Worldwide’ is attracting incredible crowds from across the world. Launched in the French town of Séte in July 2006, he started Worldwide Festival with the aim of creating a different kind of festival. It offers a unique artistic selection of Jazz, electronica, world beats and weirdness, all fused together. The Festival has now expanded to visit cities in Asia and Switzerland, highlighting these places’ rich culture and bringing new music from around the world.
BN1MAGAZINE.CO.UK [ 25 ]
His reputation, as a champion of new and exciting music, caught the attentions of those responsible for compiling the Grand Theft Auto V soundtrack. Subsequently the DJ was asked to be one of 17 radio station hosts on the 35 million selling title, consolidating his position as a DJ with true global reach. Surprisingly he didn’t tell his children about this inclusion, believing them to be indifferent to their father’s success. “When it came out they were quietly impressed. But that’s always been my thing: How do I get music out to more people? Playing in less obvious places for me is important, because that’s how I got into music. ”

The Climbing Centre A Sport for all seasons
‘Everyone CAN climb’. This was one of the first things that manager Henning said to me when I went down to check out the Brighton & Hove indoor climbing centre, a multimillion pound refurbishment housed within Withdean Sports Complex. The Climbing Wall is considered a regional centre of excellence, featuring top and lead rope walls to challenge even the most experienced of climbing athletes. However, with the summer holidays in full swing, this is also the perfect place for families of all ages to engage, learn, interact and of course, have some plain old fun with each other. With taster courses available every day throughout these glorious months; half-day fun days, junior clubs and professional sessions also prove that everyone and anyone can indeed climb if they so wish. As if that is not enough, the centre also contains bouldering walls and an industry leading training floor for the development of both intermediate and advanced climbers, not found anywhere else in Brighton. The Brighton & Hove Indoor Climbing Centre is finding itself appealing more and more to an eclectic lot of partakers; from stag and hen dos, birthdays and team-building days to school visits, scout groups, and kids with complex needs. It is refreshing to see the climbing community so supportive of newcomers, helping to dissolve a first anxious visit into a much more relaxing and less intimidating experience. With loyalty cards stamped for regular visits and annual membership registration rewarding visitors with comfortable discount, there is no reason why this shouldn’t be one of the most exciting places to hang out this summer.

Family Activities Your Summer Holiday Guide for Kids
It is summer holiday time, and if you’ve got kids there’s every chance you will be seeking ways to keep them entertained. Modern sensibilities dictate leaving them outside the pub with lemonade and crisps (while you get drunk inside), or opening a seasonal chimney sweeping service, is unacceptable. But fear not, we have a few kids’ activities that don’t involve flick-knives, abandonment or PS4s, maybe there’s even something for adults as well… Although many forms of child labour are frowned upon, it seems you can still teach the youngsters the value of hard work with a trip to Tulleys Farm, near Turners Hill. When they’ve finished harvesting twice their body weight in vegetables and soft fruit, you can take them into the Farm’s Summer Maze Fun Park. Secreting over 25 attractions, 3.5 miles of paths and plenty of fun, the 8-acre maze offers a whole day of fun and discovery for all the family. www.tulleysfarm.com
Of course British summertime weather dictates at least one rainy day in three, but there’s plenty worthwhile indoor activities to be found.
The Adur Outdoor Activities Centre offers a wide range of outdoor activities, opportunities and experiences to get the kids, or maybe yourself, active and inspired.
Upon sign up and every time you read two books, you receive rewards including a Mythical Maze poster, scratch and sniff smelly stickers and your own Myth Maker. When you have read six books you will be congratulated with a certificate and a gold medal. www.summerreadingchallenge.org.uk
Indoors you can sample Indoor climbing and bouldering, whilst you can get on the water with kayaks and canoes, or outside with archery, walking on the downs or mountain biking. The Centre will be running loads of taster sessions across the summer, so it’s a great opportunity to try something new. www.aoac.org.uk Dedicated to conserving the natural heritage of Sussex, The Sussex Wildlife Trust offers endless ways to discover a landscape with a rich history, dramatic coastlines and rare environments. August sees the Trust run a fun-packed and fully supervised outdoor activity programme for children. There’s something for everyone including: bug hunting, pond dipping, shelter building, crafts, camouflage games and toasting marshmallows over the camp fire. Events are at Woods Mill Nature Reserve near Henfield; Stanmer Park, Brighton; Seven Sisters Country Park near Seaford, Tilgate Park, Crawley and Rye Harbour Nature Reserve. www.sussexwildlifetrust.org.uk
The Summer Reading Challenge 2014 is running at the moment and promises an adventure at your local library this summer. The free scheme is themed around the exploration of a Mythical Maze, encouraging youngsters to read any six books, borrowed from the library.
Every Sunday morning the famous Duke’s Kids’ Club comes to the Duke’s @ Komedia. From recent blockbusters to classic favourites, family-friendly world cinema and exclusive events, regular national drawing and story-writing competitions with fantastic prizes, it’s an inexpensive and captivating treat for the family. The timetable for this summer includes Muppets Most Wanted, Viking Adventures From The British Museum and Moomins And Midsummer. www.picturehouses.co.uk/cinema/Dukes_At_Komedia

The New Untouchables The Mod Bank Holiday Weekender
Long after the excesses of Brighton’s Regency era visitors became strange memories. Not much caused a stir in our sleepy seaside town. Then two diametrically opposed youth groups - linked by the freedoms cheap personal transport afforded - started heading to Britain’s coastal resorts during Bank Holidays. With some encouragement from scheming tabloid journalists, a deviancy amplification spiral kicked in. Middle England became outraged at the thought of the nation’s youth fighting, drinking and cavorting in its seaside streets, and a British cultural legend was born. The Mods and Rockers were the two youth movements, both of them sending tremors through British society. Traditionally Brighton marks the Mods’ visits every August Bank Holiday. This year being the 50th anniversary of those heady days, the celebrations are going into overdrive. Centre-stage in these events is The New Untouchables (NUTs), an international organisation based in London which promotes Mod and 60s culture worldwide. This includes club nights, compilation albums, fashion shows, weekenders, art exhibitions, scooter competitions and cruises, bespoke films, live bands and festivals; including the hugely successful Modstock, Le Beat Bespoké and Euro Ye Ye. The NUTs team was set up to maintain the standard of earlier groups, with a new spirit of openness and approachability. The 90s Britpop scene brought the fashions and sounds of Mod culture to a whole new appreciative audience. This movement’s bands were increasingly being inspired by 60s Beat and Pop groups, themselves motivated by the thrilling raw power of US Rhythm and Blues artists. The time was just right for a new surge of Mods and 60s fans. The New Untouchables were there to encourage them with newsletters, club flyers, club nights, national and international weekenders, scooter runs, clothes and record markets plus through the relatively new medium of the Internet.
Powered by passion and good humour, the NUTs have never been afraid to try new ventures. Locations were altered from time to time, coastal resorts changed and even dropped in favour of London weekenders. The coastal constant was Scarborough in the North, whilst the August bank holiday event changed from The Isle of Wight, to Margate then to Brighton. New bands and DJs have always been actively encouraged and supported with some going onto to achieve mainstream success like The Strypes and The Horrors. The New Untouchables bring the Mod scene back to its spiritual home for a tenth August bank holiday in 2014, and they’re celebrating this decade of events in a big way. Sat and Sun afternoons see scooters gathering outside Volks Club for a rally and competitions, with live bands, DJs and market stalls. On Sunday afternoon there’ll be a scooter competition on Madeira Drive, followed by a cruise out to Beachy Head. Most of the NUTs’ night-time entertainment is at Komedia - just down from Jump The Gun if you want some authentic Mod garments - which has two rooms of the very best soul and Mod music. Fri evening sees a welcome party, before two epic (and very much sold out) all-night sessions on Sat and Sun! For those of you without all-nighter tickets, or you can’t bare leave the seafront, Volks Club will be open 9.30pm-3am for plenty more Mod club classics. Pulling together great live bands, the best Freakbeat, Garage and Psych DJs and trippy kaleidoscope visuals, Sticky Mike’s will be wigging out for the Bank Holiday as well. Sat 23 sees Exploding Sound Machine play live, with DJs Dr Robert, Holly Calder, Carlo Sesto and Andy Roseaman. Sun 24 brings The Dials & The Hypnotic Eye live and DJs Dr Robert, Holly Calder and Alessandro. So remember, you don’t want to be the same as everybody else. You got to be somebody, or you might as well jump in the sea and drown… www.newuntouchables.com

Nine ways you can tell it’s summer in Brighton Summer, summer, summertime. Is it time to sit back and unwind?
1. The school run seems to last all day. Fighting for space on the roads with those parents, reluctant to let their darlings walk half a mile each day, used to only last two hours. Now these fleets of badly driven mini-vans and SUVs seem to patrol the City incessantly, all loaded with grumpy looking youngsters and looking for bad parking opportunities. It is so much easier to cross the road when it’s gridlocked though.
5. Roadworks appear everywhere Increased seasonal traffic through the town, means it’s the ideal time to start roadworks and ‘improvement schemes’ that will cause gridlock until 2025. We applaud the idea of trying to force the population to use an over-priced mass-transport system, but does it have to happen when traffic is at its busiest?
2. You have to embrace every moment of sunshine If you don’t go to the beach after work, you’re a social outcast. Even if you don’t want a beer, you must head to the shore or a pub garden après-work. Any social event - invariably all of them barbeques - will involve the compilation of an unwritten league table to find the ‘beach master’ in any peer group. Extra points for lunchtime sunning will be scored here, but beware of the marmite-coloured chap that declares: “The weather at Latitude was so amazing I wore a mankini all weekend! Ironically of course…” Woe betide you, if you’ve been hurrying home to play Watch Dogs with the blinds shut, because this marks you as a pale-skinned pariah.
6. People are sitting in strange places Someone is even sitting on that bench on Lewes Road, enjoying the wonderful view it affords of the butcher’s window. Amazing!
3. Crowds of foreign students The universities and colleges have emptied for the holidays, but our student population has been replenished by hordes of fresh young people, all sporting the same colour rucksacks. Brighton’s cosmopolitan nature makes it an ideal destination for English-language students. Operating in packs of never less than 600, these excited youngsters make it their mission to gather outside shops, on street corners and in any confined and busy space. Despite their impressive obstructive power, they generally bring lots of money and the sunshine with them. Good news if you’re a sun-worshipping local business owner. Bad news if you want to get a bus in a hurry. 4. The police are wearing sunglasses. If you do head over to the beach, keep a look out for the sexy Lycra-clad Police officers. Modern law enforcement requires the use of roller blades, mountain bikes and pogo sticks, all forms of transport demanding the rider look as cool as possible. Sometimes it looks like a parochial version of Miami Vice down on that seafront. Conversely some officers of the City’s Police Service aren’t as patient as they could be. It’s quite a scary thing to be shouted at by someone in stifling body armour and mirrored shades… especially when the mirrored bits are on the inside.
7. You realise how many people have tattoos. During the winter people are wrapped head to toe in clothing, appropriate sartorial choices for everyone. The first rays of sunshine hit us and the flesh comes out, along with it tattoos of every shape, colour and quality. Nothing beats the joy of spotting someone with the name of a long-forgotten punk band scrawled up their arm. 8. People become less self-conscious. The sun brings out something of a ‘don’t care’ attitude in humanity. Especially anyone with a need to expose acres of wobbly flesh, have a very public (and psychologically revealing) argument in a public space or walk down the street talking to themselves. To all those purveyors of the finest Brighton street theatre – we salute you! 9. It’s hailing Well. You just can’t take anything for granted, can you?

New To Cinema The Inbetweeners 2 – 6 Aug Derived from the original Channel 4 TV comedy series ‘The Inbetweeners’, the ‘Pussay Patrol’ are back together this month after their sun-soaked Malia adventures back in 2011 to embark on yet another holiday. Only this time, they are off back-packing to Australia. The Inbetweeners 2 is sure to see ‘Ooh friends’ Jay, Simon, Neil and Will falling into more hilarious sex-orientated capers as they hire a ridiculous car – the ‘mobile virgin conversion unit’ – and explore Down Under. As usual there is only one thing on these young virile minds – girls.
The Expendables 3 - 14 Aug Expendable in name but certainly not in nature as this 3rd film in the series proves, Sly Stallone and his team are back for yet another muscle-bound, high-octane action-packed episode. Bruce Willis’ greed sees him dropped from this latest instalment but welcome if you will, Harrison Ford and Mel Gibson to the mix – Gibson as ruthless arms dealer and Expendables’ co-founder Conrad Stonebanks. You may struggle to keep up with the amount of maturing beef-cakes flashing across the big screen but The Expendables 3 will be hard not to be an instant hit for any thrill-seeking fans.
Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For – 25 Aug Comic writer and artist Frank Miller joins forces with director Robert Rodriquez for the follow up to the neo-noir crime thriller ‘Sin City’, with Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For. Expect many of the original cast to make an appearance, including Jessica Alba and Mickey Rourke with some new faces thrown in, such as Josh Brolin. Eva Green and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. This sequel is based on the second book in the Sin City series, with a smaller plot created from the sixth book and two original stories written exclusively by Miller for this film.
Deliver Us From Evil - 22 Aug From the director who brought you the disturbing ‘Exorcism of Emily Rose’ and the sinister ‘Sinister’, comes horror thriller Deliver Us From Evil, starring Eric Bana. Bana (Chopper, Hulk) plays Sarchie, a cynical cop who joins forces with a rather unconventional priest to deal with the strange and unexplained goings-on that keep happening. Deliver Us From Evil is based on a book detailing reallife policeman/demonologist Ralph Sarchie’s actual accounts of the time he spent with the New York Police Department. Expect some jumpy moments and to ask permission to squeeze your neighbour’s hand…hard.

The Victory 6 Duke St, Brighton, BN1 1AH, 01273 326555
After reserving a table outside, we were looking forward to the alfresco roast dining experience ahead of us on a particularly lazy Sunday. Greeted by two friendly bar staff, we were told options were fairly limited... always a good sign of a successful day’s business. Although they did still have the roast English Beef Sirloin and Corn-fed Chicken left, their full menu also offers Mixed Bean and Nut Cutlet with vegetarian gravy and a variety of snacks, shares and sandwiches alongside the roasts if you just fancy a bite. Lucky for us the beef and chicken was just the ticket for lining our stomachs after a day drinking out in the sunshine. Ordering a pint of Thatchers ‘Cheddar Valley’ cider to quench our thirst, this uniquely refreshing cider has an interesting hazy orange colour. Fermented and matured in oak vats for a fuller flavour, I was told it is not one for the faint-hearted at over 6% in strength. We also chose a pint of the Krusovice, which has a strong golden colour and pleasant bitter hop taste, sweet bodied with a compact foam… It was just the ticket. Now as most locals will know, Brighton has a massive affection for roast dinners. Every one of us at some point in time will have slithered into the pub to meet friends, only to cringe and laugh about the previous night’s antics over a hearty great plate of roasted meats and veg. It’s part of our culture... and also is the set thing most of us will religiously do on God’s day of rest. We’ve all experienced amazing roasts, bad ones… and average ones. Most places shift depending on who’s running the kitchen, so no one can really rest of their laurels as being at the top of their game. In Brighton the competition is FIERCE.
When the plates of food arrived, the beef was a delicious cut of good quality meat, tasty and pink... just how we like it. The chicken was nicely roasted, moist inside and with the perfect amount of crispy well-seasoned skin. The potatoes seemed fresh from the oven; soft inside, crunchy on the outside and a generous portion too. The gravy was exceptionally tasty, rich and flavoursome - just the right consistency and colour. All plates were adorned with a Yorkshire pud - a rarity these days - and quite an interesting selection of vegetables, ranging from perfectly roasted butternut squash to cauliflower cheese. The cauliflower cheese was such a treat! So impressed with our mains, it would’ve been rude to miss out on dessert... Although outrageously full, we decided to share a Banoffee Pie (£5). Possibly not the lightest of options, it came out moments later smothered in cream on a bed of crunchy buttery biscuits, with caramel and banana slices. Mmmm…Just Mmm. This was demolished in a matter of seconds. In our eyes the food is well priced (£9.50 - £12) for the quality and is perfectly located being in the centre of town. The Victory is definitely up there for being one of the best roast pubs in town. Just wait until the winter months kick in too, you will get an even bigger choice of roasts thoughtfully designed to warm those chilly bones. Try it…You won’t be disappointed. By Bee Adamic

The Cyclist Refreshment Rooms Brighton Train Station,Queens Road,Brighton, BN13XP
When I was lucky enough to visit Tokyo earlier this year, one of the main things that stuck with me is their style of eating. Rarely ordering just one main dish to enjoy, dining out in an ‘izakaya’ – Japanese establishment that also serves food to accompany the drink – meant choosing a selection of dishes, which would be then shared and relished by the entire table. For me, this brought a much more social element to eating out than we are perhaps used to in England. We may go out to dinner in order to feign socialising but how often do we really look up from stuffing our face long enough to provoke engaging conversation? When I visited The Cyclist previously this month, I was surprised at how their menu set-up took me back to my culinary experience back in Japan. However, this restaurant, planted firmly in Brighton Station where the Transport Police once resided, couldn’t have looked more different. The Cyclist has been thoughtfully decked out; from a separate bar area both inside and out, complete with a steam engine table and astro-turf tyred seats, to a (dare I say it) trendy seating section for those who want more of a formal affair, filled with comfy sofas and modern decor. We took our seats outside as this meal fell on one of the more sweltering days of the past weeks. For me, it was refreshing to sit ‘outside’ and not be surrounded by smokers – I say ‘outside’ as it still remains under the station’s main roof hence the lack of smoke. Relaxed and with a welcoming breeze, we ordered our first drinks of the night; fresh cocktails, invented especially that week by the bar manager. While I went for a ‘Blackalicious’ – rum, lime and blackberries, my colleague chose The Lemony Sip-it – vodka, lemon and mint. While slightly more pricey than most at £7 each, these concoctions were well worth it. Each with a real depth of flavour and seemingly effortless balance between all ingredients, which must take a real skill to get right.
By Holly Cozens
So, back to my earlier point about my trip to Tokyo. The menu in The Cyclist is made up of small plates, designed to share and increase your choice of what to eat. With most dishes coming in around £6/£7, you could find yourself grabbing a quick bite before catching a train or settling down to savour the selection in front of you. This is, of course, what we did. Like in Japan, I was able to converse with my colleague about what we were both tasting; our excitement for the Tomato Terrine (gooey breaded mozzarella balls served with layers of heirloom tomatoes and basil puree), delight at the melt-in-your-mouth Sticky Pork Shoulder and Wasabi Peas, and surprise at the Fish and Chips (a seemingly basic dish made exceptional by the smoked haddock, fluffy and light chips and chunky tartare sauce). The great thing about choosing these small plates is they don’t take long to prepare so you can order as and when the mood takes you. The desserts have more of a traditional approach – one to each guest unless you’re feeling particularly gannet-esque. While the homemade Chocolate Passionfruit Parfait was a true treat, the star of the whole night was the Sea-buckthorn ice cream that accompanied the less impressive almond tart. Made by Caroline’s dairy in Chichester, The Cyclist is the only place in Brighton to stock it and believe me, it is well worth trying. Like many places in Brighton, The Cyclist boasts fresh ingredients, locally sourced ale, beer, meat and produce. What sets them apart however, is the personality injected into their food and drinks – recipes created on site by dedicated, passionate staff – and its ability to bring people together with fine affordable food in a comforting pub/restaurant setting for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Next time you head out for a spot of something to eat, remember that hidden inside Brighton Station is a stylish cave of culinary wonders.
