Knock knock! Who’s there? The population of Brighton and Hove and miles around. Yes, it’s that special nosy time of year, when you’ll soon be able to cross the thresholds of nearly 200 houses to look at all the cool art on the walls and floors. To help you get the most of the 14 trails plus independent houses, follow these handy tips. 1 Pick up a copy of the special Artists Open Houses brochure with details of all the art on offer in the houses, listing all the venues and maps. 2 Check out the fantastic website at www.aoh.org.uk, offering a great space for artists to showcase their work. 3 Look out for the May issue of Latest Art, hitting the streets on 1 May, a great magazine gallery for art in the festival. 4 Put on some comfy shoes and get walking, clutching an artistic cheque book or cashfilled purse. 5 Browse to taste! Our top tips are Vanishing… Jay Collins’s paintings of Kemp Town’s vanishing townscape at Eastern Terrace Mews in Brighton (house 13, Kemptown Artists), and ‘Ooh Mr Darcy’ in Rochester Street (house 4, Kemptown Artists), an eclectic and charming collection of original paintings, sketches, photographs, cards, jewellery, scupltures, textiles and mixed media work by a selection of artists. But don’t take our word for it, there are around 1,000 artists presenting their works, and we know that gems can be found in any and each of the houses and it all comes down to your taste, and your willingness to be charmed and challenged. And once you’ve explored all the best art Brighton, Hove and beyond has to offer, be daring and take the opportunity to book a Festival Fringe ticket for something you know nothing about! A great way to explore events is by booking something that’s unusual for you. There is so much going on that you won’t always have time to wait for the review or a recommendation from a friend, so take a chance and try a new genre. Go see some dance, get involved with literature or do a workshop… You never know it may become your new bag, and if it doesn’t, at least it doesn’t cost as much as the new bags nowadays! Our top tip is Brighton’s great singer and harp player, Magdalena Reising, appearing in a number of guises over the festival. There’s a harp and flute recital on 5, 6, 7 May; Two Golden Harps on 19 May; cabaret with Mandy and the Magdalenas on 11, 18, 25 May and jazz in From Hollywood to Brighton on 24 May. For more details text 07786 405221. Go on book something now – we dare you!

Simon Asphar looks at the latest generation of BMW’s compact with supercar performance: the M3 Coupé BMW UK has announced details of the new BMW M3 Coupé, a model that 21 years ago created an entirely new segment for superhigh-performance compact cars. In the past two decades and three previous generations, the M3 has proved a success on road and track. Originally powered by BMW’s first 16 valve four cylinder engine and subsequently by 3.0 litre and 3.2 litre powerplants, BMW M3 engines took top category honours on a record six successive occasions at the International Engine of the Year Awards. Racing derivatives have also won more touring car titles than any other car as well as numerous endurance races. With DNA connecting the new M3’s engine to that of the BMW Sauber F1 Team, the racing link is maintained in the fourth generation M3. The new M3 Coupé engine develops 420hp at 8,300rpm and 400Nm of torque at 3,900rpm from its 3,999cc V8 power unit, and red lines at 8,400rpm. To highlight the flexibility of the engine, 85 per cent of torque is available from 6,500rpm. Power is transferred to the road by BMW M’s six-speed manual gearbox and variable M differential which conveys up to 100 per cent of available power to the wheel with most grip. Like its predecessor, the new V8powered BMW M3 easily breaks through the magical 100hp per litre barrier, offering 105hp per litre. This engine powers the car from zero to 62mph in 4.8 seconds and on to a limited top speed of 155mph. However, these supercar levels of performance do not compromise economy, with the car still delivering 22.8mpg on the combined cycle, being an eight per cent improvement over the outgoing car.
This relatively frugal economy is delivered, in part, thanks to BMW’s EfficientDynamics programme. Far from only influencing the smaller-engined cars in the range, EfficientDynamics offers benefits to one of the most sporting cars offered by BMW, courtesy of Brake Energy Regeneration. This technology uses an Intelligent Alternator Control and Absorbent Glass Mat battery to recognise when the engine is on over-run and activates the alternator to charge the battery with what would previously have been wasted energy.
“The engine powers the car from 0–62 in 4.8 seconds and on to a limited 155mph” Another facet of BMW’s EfficientDynamics programme is lightweight technology. The previous generation M3 CSL showed how carbon fibre could be used by BMW in limitedvolume production cars. The new M3 Coupé is the first full production car in its class to feature a carbon fibre reinforced plastic roof panel with exposed weave. In isolation, the carbon fibre roof panel saves 5kg over a conventional roof panel, but it also lowers the centre of gravity to contribute to the M3’s benchmark driving dynamics. Like the larger BMW M5 and M6 models, the new M3 Coupé also features an MDrive button that brings together numerous personalised functions of the car. The settings for the optional Electronic Damper Control (normal, comfort and sport), three DSC+ traction control settings and three specific
engine control maps, plus the response rate of the Servotronic power steering can be controlled with one button on the steering wheel. Once the desired settings are created in the iDrive menu, part of the standard Professional navigation system, one push of the MDrive button transforms the M3 from a car to drive to the shops to a track day special. While the new BMW M3 Coupé shares many design cues and components with the standard 3 Series Coupé model, only the doors, bootlid, windows and front/rear lamps are carried over. However, a number of subtle performance enhancements combine to deliver an unmistakably sporting outline. A striking powerdome and two air intakes in the aluminium bonnet cover the new V8 engine and help engine cooling. Primarily, the design of the front of the car is created by the need for significant volumes of air for the induction system. As a result, three large air ducts in the front lower valance keep the engine breathing. In profile, the new M3 Coupé features 18inch double-spoke light-alloy wheels as standard, with a striking 19-inch wheel available as an option. Another BMW M trait, a side gill in the front wing, also includes the side direction indicator and the M3 logo. Such is the performance of the new car, even the exterior door mirrors enhance the aerodynamic characteristics of the car and provide a degree of downforce. From the rear, an aerodynamically efficient diffuser emphasises BMW M’s trademark twin double exhaust pipes protruding from beneath the valance. Start saving – you’ve got until September before this little German package of good things is available.

Raw talent on display I was kindly invited by the lovely Vicky Nangle (stand-up comedienne) to pop to the Joogleberry to see what RAW was all about on Tuesday 10 April. It’s a combination of music, comedy and innovative spoken word, the likes of which I’d never experience before. All of this, in one evening, at the same venue - who could ask for more? RAW is compered by the Brighton To London Poet and is a superb platform for up-and-coming performers of all genres to try out new material. If you’ve still got the energy and you’re looking for late-night shenanigans during the Fringe, then there’s going to be Late Night RAWs, starting at 11pm on 9, 16 and 23 May. Check it out.

For the love of cod On Monday 16 April, Bardsley’s fish and chips gurus Roy and Muriel Brown – and their son Neil – celebrated with family, friends and guests as Latest Homes’ Andrew Kay cut the ribbon that officially opened the latest expansion to the restaurant area. Bardsley’s, on Baker Street, continues to receive rave reviews in and around the city, with one recent assessment reading: “Without a doubt, by far the best fish you can eat anywhere in Brighton”. The ribbon had hardly even touched the floor by the time Roy, Muriel, Neil and some able helpers were dishing up platefuls of the the main reason for the restaurant’s 81 years of success.

Vet’s the way to do it Up-and-coming celebrity vet Marc Abraham – a regular on The Paul O’Grady Show and a Latest7 columnist – won the Petplan Special Recognition Award at the 8th Petplan Veterinary Awards. Marc beat other celebrity vets such as the well-known Bruce Fogle and Scandinavian Trude Mostue for the title of Britain’s favourite celebrity vet. Marc’s volunteering and charity work balances his more high profile television career, which has brought him global recognition, as he is due to guest star on a Hollywood TV show in May. Mark says: “As TV vets we are lucky to be in a position where we can change people’s attitudes towards animals, encouraging responsible pet ownership and improving the lives of our four-legged friends. I’m just glad to be playing a small part in all this.”

KATIE’S COLUMN
What Katie says Katie senses that the question of race has never really gone away…
Back to black My favourite moment of the last few weeks was watching Naomi Campbell strut – a shiny metallic wonder – into the New York sunshine and the surging flashes of the paparazzi, after her stint of community service at the Department of Sanitation. I’d never really cared for Campbell before, but as she posed for pictures, having completed her week of humiliation, in all her glistening glory – an $8,000 D&G dress and a priceless grin – she was a shimmering triumph of feminine magnificence.
And how proud they seemed, to have reduced a black woman to her knees, scrubbing toilets. As if they had achieved something to be proud of; when all they’d really done was re-assert years of inequality and degradation. It’s disingenuous to pretend that Naomi’s colour and sex do not have some bearing on the humiliation involved in her punishment. Rather, they are exactly what made it so poignant. Certainly, watching the whining, spoilt, suit-faced Boy George harrumphing through a
sweeping shift didn’t prompt me to such sympathy. How could it? It was the only interesting thing he’s done in years. But the thought of noble Naomi on her knees, cleaning for these fat, white, smug New Yorkers was enough to bring a lump to my throat. Had she really done anything Elton wouldn’t do after a few glasses of fizz? Naomi is apparently a diva. But while that title still means a woman who is strong, feisty and determined, now it seems to be something to be ashamed of. When the week was up, I – and no doubt Naomi – could bare it no more. I wondered if they’d crushed her spirit as much as the pictures I’d seen, printed by the cruelly braying tabloid press, had crushed mine. But when her work was done and she blazed out of the Sanitation department, in a trail of slim, silver splendour, I felt she was back up on the catwalk where she belonged. Campbell has said herself that “black don't crack”. And this time, her beauty really did epitomize her spirit.
“How proud they seemed, to have reduced a black woman to her knees, scrubbing toilets”

I was in awe; blinded by the light that reflected from her metal waistband. All week I’d been reading about Naomi's punishment. Her sanitation supervisors gloating at her castigation. “She was on her hands and knees at one point today. She did scrub the upstairs bathroom,” grinned deputy chief of sanitation, Albert Durrell. A sanitation spokesman added that Campbell “cleaned the supervisor’s office a few days ago and it hasn’t smelled this clean in years”.

THE RHYME
Eminemmylou The UK’s first and only rap and spoken-word column. This week featuring Morgan Nichols A voice screams out like a hand reaching out under an avalanche of sand Most say: “Oh, that’s madness, they’re poorly, surely, we can’t try to understand!” Is it only poets who try and read what we can do? To help? To connect? And try and find a language that can make sense of something so disconnected.
Disenfranchised Sitting in the office and there is violent screaming upstairs. I will be alone in this situation for at least an hour. It’s only venting. It’s only schizophrenia. Bubbling up, Pushing boundaries, Any number of words we use To keep ourselves safe. It’s no symphony. It is real raw rage. Rage at disempowerment of the mind. Imagine being a thirty-nine-year-old woman Who wants to remain a child. Who cuts her hair as short as it can possibly go And wears the baggiest clothes she can find So that she cannot see and feel the curves of womanhood. Who is told what to eat and when. Who was put out of the family home for reasons she cannot understand. Who we cannot understand. Reproduced from Get Lost Magazine, the new poetry magazine from Hammer & Tongue.

The backlash starts here Colette Meacher wouldn’t shake a feather at yet another Popeye-tattooed burlesque performer The advertising slogan cum catch-all ‘va va voom’ has a lot to answer for. Va va voom has long become synonymous with ‘sexy’, but the number of burlesque nights spawned under it have drained the phrase of all the erotic appeal it may have formerly promised. Burlesque was made sexy in this city a few years back when La Clique first came to town with the Spiegeltent. A show of sexy girls and sexy guys doing sexy things with ropes and ribbons and song and swings. Suddenly, everyone wanted a bit of that vintage-clad wartime nostalgia, with its sepiatinged glow of smoky ballrooms, ripped fishnets, furtive sex with GIs and ‘let’s party like there’s a war on’ gung-ho, washed down with as much grog as you could gullet. That feeling of the carnival arriving in town once a year during Brighton Festival was fantastic; it breathed a bit of magic into the streets and made play the name of the game. But the seedy glamour of a bit of stolen freedom fades fast if it becomes routine, mundane, found in every bar and club across town, in every sort of

EMOTIONS
Dani’s diary Dani, former teenage strumpet, wants to know what love is, where to find it and how to keep it... Last week I wrote about how men have never changed, and their ways seem to be stuck in stone. I knew this before I wrote the column and I am still very aware of it now. So why do us women folk think we can change our male partners? Why when we have been faced with years of history stating the opposite do we always believe we are the one to change that boy’s mind? What makes us think we have the power to change how men have behaved for centuries? No matter how many times you hint, they will never bring those flowers home. No matter how many times you ask them not to pee on the loo seat you can guarantee there’ll be a stray dribble the next time you go. And no matter how many times you say something nice, you will only get a satisfactory reply once for every ten compliments you pay. So having been through relationships before, what makes us think the next will be much different? Obviously the person will have different traits, you will do different things and see different places but when it all boils down to it, not much else changes. You promise yourself you won’t make the same mistakes in the next relationship as you did in the one before, but we all do, no matter how hard we try. And the irritating thing is that we don’t even realise we are making the same mistakes again until it’s too late.
“What makes us think we have the power to change how men have behaved for centuries?” It’s weird, just as I’m writing this, that song comes on the radio… “Just hold him, and kiss him, and love him and then you will be his.” Great: you’ve held him and kissed him and loved him and what the hell has he done for you? Other than point out all your faults! We all so desperately want to be in love with Mr Perfect, but how often have we ever met one? Do we actually know anyone who has met one? Even when we think we’ve met one, there are people judging the relationship from the outside, picking it apart, turning your Mr or Mrs Perfect into a nightmare waiting to happen. If we all know that relationships are full of this kind of stuff, why do we so desperately want them and why when we’re in them do we try our best to save every last minute of it? Men sing the best love songs, and we grow up surrounded by them, so when we get into the field of dating we expect men to be more like us. To act like they care about the relationship, and more importantly, the person they are in it with. We’ve all had relationships that don’t work and are all looking for one that will, but what makes us think we’re actually going to find one? It is said that men will only have three women in their lives: the first love, the one they marry and the one they want but can’t have. Which one are you? Which one am I? venue with every sort of clientele. Gone is that feeling of having stumbled upon a lost era by chance; instead, you’re more likely to find yourself in a packed-out venue surrounded by gangs of guys on stag nights hoping to cock a snook at a lipsticked nipple in between ten pints of gnat’s piss and a loosely packed kebab on the way home. You’re more likely to feel that you’ve been watching the cabaret night shift, having been cruelly shipwrecked on a round-the-world cruise, half expecting a Jimmy Saville lookalike to pop up and announce a free showgirl high-kick to any man willing to pick a cherry out from every dancer’s buttocks on stage with his teeth, while blindfolded and riding the shoulders of a Russian pygmy transvestite.
“Off with the Marigolds, on with the opera gloves...” Bang went the voom the day I heard a couple of sow-faced social workers on the bus discussing how they might be able to spice up their flaccid sex lives by taking up pole dancing classes. Off with the Marigolds, on with the opera gloves and another buxom, brazen-ars*d housewife is ready to strip on stage and share her cellulite in the name of burlesque. Take away the feather boas, the Popeye tattoos, the broken heels and pork-pie hats and you’ve got a spit’n’sawdust lunchtime striptease paid up by pounds chucked into a pint glass. Forget ‘the rising of the Sphinx’, as one act was once called; imagine instead ‘the rising of the sphincter’. And then, I think, you’ll have seen the whole show.

Seeing the light Robin Cousins in St Paul – the musical! As usual, the 2007 annual Brighton Festival will see a host of famous faces converging on our dear little city by the sea, including Vic Reeves, Victoria Wood, and the prime minister – oops! – I mean, of course, the chancellor Gordon Brown. Upping the celeb ante at this year’s festivities will be the world premiere of a ground-breaking musical starring none other than Brighton’s very own ice skating champ, Olympic gold medallist Robin Cousins. Paul – Strange Kind of Hero is being hailed as the next generation of musical after the classics Godspell, Jesus Christ Superstar, and Joseph and The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. The show, written by acclaimed director Sue Pomeroy, uses a mixture of rock, pop, orchestral music, and community choirs to tell the story of St Paul, who famously saw the light on the road to Damascus and was converted. Brighton-based Robin, who is no stranger to the West End stage, will be joined by a cast of over 70 for the production, which is being staged at St Bartholomews in the city centre. Starring opposite him as his leading lady will be Simona Armstrong, the Romanian Maria catapulted on to the small screen by hit BBC1 show How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? The show runs from 10–20 May. Tickets are available from the Dome box office or www.ticketmaster.com.
Local lurve, part 1 I hear that congratulations are in order for Sussex resident Jamie Theakston, who recently announced his engagement to girlfriend Sophie Siegle. In true showbiz fashion, the pair met at the Oscars two years ago and have been inseparable ever since. Regular readers will know that young Mr Theakston still lives in the idyllic Sussex countryside, and regularly drinks at everyone’s favourite country pub, The Bull at Ditchling. A little bird tells me that his fiancée Sophie is the current manager of trendy London nightspot Soho House. That’s the reception sorted then!
Local lurve, part 2 Apparently love is also in the air for Brighton resident James Lance, who has recently been linked to star of stage and screen Denise van Outen, who he first dated at London’s Sylvia Young Stage School no less than 20 years ago. The pair found love during their time at the legendary stage school, where I hear that Mr Lance was the first boy that young Denise ever kissed! They recently rekindled their romance over in LA, where they are both spending a lot of their time. Ms Van Outen said of the romance, “He’s someone living the same life as I am, between LA and the UK. I’ve been out there for the last few months and we spent a lot of time there together.” With Denise currently enjoying a stint as judge on West End reality TV show Any Dream Will Do, I’m sure it won’t be long before she takes a trip down to Brighton to visit her new flame’s home town.

Who’s house I hear that, among the wealth of stunning artworks on display at this year’s Artists Open Houses, as part of the Brighton Festival, will be new works by acclaimed designer Bernard Lodge, who most famously designed the spooky title graphics for cult show Doctor Who in the 1970s. Watch this space for more info on this year’s open houses, which – I can tell you – promises to be one of the best ever!

Spotted Coffee or tea? with Robert Burns I’ll ne’er regret that lousome day I saw a-walking doon the road A fellow, wi’ a suit so gay I thought I’d shoot ma load.
“I like coffee, I like tea, I like the Java Jive and it likes me.” So sang the black American doo-wap group The Inkspots in 1940. But which is better – a lovely old cup of tea, or a nice old cup of coffee? We asked our favourite Brighton celebs which they prefer.
An occasional series in which we ask the opinion of both celebrities and lowly proles on a local issue. This week – who do you think is the mysterious developer behind the proposed renovation of the West Pier? LOCAL COLUMNIST BARRY KIDDING “When this old warhorse was knee high to a grasshopper, the pier was a filthy, dilapidated ruin. Then it burnt down. Then bits of it fell off. Then it burnt down again. And that’s the way it should be. Like it says in some book – to every thing there is a season. A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to live and a time to die, a time to obey a restricting order and a time to go round you ex-wife’s house at four in the morning and try to kick her front door in. Whoever this developer is, he had better remember this or face eternity boiling in molten lead in the darkest pits of hell.” LEO SAYER Tea. CATE BLANCHETT Coffee. JORDAN Tea. LOCAL COLUMNIST BARRY KIDDING Scotch. NICK CAVE Definitely tea. It’s got to be Tetley though. I always loved those adverts with the little fellas on – Maurice, Gordon, Clarence, Tina – and poor old Sydney. He might have been a virtual imbecile but he had a heart of gold.
NICK CAVE “Strewth! I head through the grapevine that the bloke behind the redevelopment is fellow Aussie Clive James, who intends to build a ‘Jamesland’ theme park based around his novels and literary criticism, those records he made with Pete Atkin that nobody liked, and the Japanese TV show ‘Endurance’ that he made fun of back in the late 80s.” MRS BETTY RAMSBOTTOM (79), PATCHAM “I think it’s almost certainly Darth Vader, and that he intends to build a ‘Death Pier’ that will travel around Britain destroying other piers like the ones at Blackpool and Southend for the glorification of his dark empire.” FRED MARRIOTT (97), HANOVER “I dunno who it is, but I think we can be fairly sure that he or she will probably be a ****.” ZOE BALL Half a cup of coffee mixed with half a cup of tea. DAVID VAN DAY Tea. LUKE PRITCHARD Coffee. LEAD SINGER WITH 1977 STARSKY AND HUTCH ANNUAL JED BOLTON Coffee. No, tea. No – definitely coffee. Or tea.

STAND-UP COMEDY
A laughing matter Victoria Nangle – on having an excellent comedic adventure in London
London beckoned and I responded to its curious call. Or rather – I sent a very polite email to a London booker and asked him please if I could have a stand-up new act gig. Pretty please. Please with cherries on. Not that I begged or anything. And ‘lo a gig came forth of the finest calibre in Camden Town, land of the trendies and the overstuffed pubs. I think I may have mentioned this a few weeks back, but at that point it was all trepidation and waiting and now it’s all blasé and ‘London, pah!’ Isn’t it great not to be scared of something any more simply because you’ve done it once? In actual fact, the gig went very well. It was in a bizarrely shaped room above a pub on the high street. The room was at a right-angle with you, the comic, standing at the corner, turning from one side to the other so no one felt left out. The motley crew of mates and locals filed in and the tension built even further when I heard one of the bookers say: “I don’t think we have a ‘sold out’ sign”, shortly before ushering the comics away from the back of their side of the right-angle leg and bunging in more chairs for punters. There was not an extra ticket to be had, and each ticket sold had been handed over with the question: “Who are you here to see?” Having Camden as my habitat before moving down to Brighton ensured that quite a few of these (eight, in fact!) were here to see me, which is why I think I was asked to open the second act.
“The lovely time after telling your gag, when the crowd laugh for longer than you expected” Oh, the bliss. The lovely time after telling your gag, when the crowd laugh for longer than you expected so that you’re left standing and waiting for the nice people to be ready for the next bit. If all London gigs are like this, then fear begone. However, I do realise that they’re not all going to be like that. There will be times when I’m heckled, harumphed and intimidated – so I’ve sent off another nice email to get my next London gig. This could be anywhere in or around London, but I think: feel the fear and do it anyway. Or feel the fear, turn up and then stage an emergency phone call and run away fast – which is what a fellow new act comic confessed to doing quite frequently when he first started. The other acts at the Camden gig were good, but still learning, so I didn’t feel that any of our Brighton stand-ups would be out of place there. My mates fed back that they thought it was a bit of a hit and miss night, but that’s what you get in most new act clubs. Personally, I just enjoyed the level of creativity that could be found in that room. Whether it worked for the audience or not, there was a wonderful amount of original thought in that there oddly shaped pub in North London.

PETS
Marc the vet Paul O’Grady Show’s Marc Abraham says ‘happy Wet Nose Day’ to you all!
Did you know that 24 April is Wet Nose Day, the national fundraising day for our pets? Aimed at promoting responsible pet ownership, this annual awareness campaign is the highlight of National Pet Month (7 April–7 May), encouraging organisations to hold events and fun days to raise much-needed funds for our local and national animal charities. All events are then entered into a countrywide competition and awarded accordingly for their innovation and contribution to our pet-loving community. Last year, PETS won the overall national competition for our rather successful Sussex PETS Awards, raising hundreds of pounds for our friends at Sussex Pet Rescue. So this year, to defend our crown, we’ve come up with something even more special… PETS are searching for the Bravest Pet In Sussex!
“One thing that amazes me is the survival instinct in-built into every pet. I really think they deserve some recognition for it” One thing that amazes me as a vet is the survival instinct in-built into every pet. I really think they deserve some recognition for it. So, do you know of a courageous canine who’s had a caesarian? Or a fearless feline who’s found their way home after being forgotten? Maybe a heroic hamster that was nearly a has-been? We want to know about them. Now the word ‘brave’, like ‘emergency’, means different things to different people. At PETS, we see such a variety of medical and surgical conditions that all need to be overcome, both physically and emotionally, by the pet – from the classic road-traffic accidents and gastric torsions in larger dogs, to the simpler and more common cat-bite abscesses or cut paws. There are also poorly pets that have to remain in our hospital for days or even weeks, on drips and being syringe-fed by our fantastic nurses, until they can go home. Sometimes, pets are brought in that have travelled miles under the bonnets of random cars or have been knocked down and picked up off the road by caring passers-by. So, if you know of any pet, large or small, young or old, that you think deserves the title of Bravest Pet In Sussex, then visit our website www.pets-brighton.com, sign up for our free monthly newsletter, and you’ll receive instructions on how to nominate very soon. The chosen finalists will all be put forward for a public online vote and the winner chosen later on this summer at the Annual PETS Garden Party in September, featuring our charity auction. For more information, visit www.nationalpetmonth.org.uk.

This Way For The Gas, Ladies & Gentlemen Thought-provoking musical drama “I wanted to write a musical that mattered as much as ‘Cabaret’. A musical which did not deal with genocide as a boring history lesson, but was about life today, and difficult though it is, a musical which is also life enhancing. I wanted to deal with why genocide is happening still in Darfur? Why does the world still look on and look away, as they did at Auschwitz?” says writer Bill Smith. The critics think it is as good as ‘Cabaret’, full of moving pieces like the title song, based on Tadeusz Borowski’s gallows-humour story about a day in the gas chambers of Auschwitz. The story is drawn from the words of real people, sadly in real camps, and includes two Nobel Prize winners, Czeslaw Milosz and Elie Wiesel and also great writers like Paul Celan, Nina Cassian and Kevin Carey. The musical drama tells four overlapping stories, the poet Borowski; the writer Micheline Maurel; the photographer, Joan from Darfur and the great artist Arnold Daghani who later came to live in Hove, and whose work is largely stored at the University Of Sussex. The Life And Death Orchestra create an extraordinary epic score. The orchestra includes Eddie Myer from Turin Brakes, 16 latest 7
Hollywood film composer Chris Page, and Tristan Banks who has played with many top bands including Massive Attack, the Bays, Turin Brakes and Terry Callier. It is conducted by Dominic Nunns of the Lost & Found Orchestra from Stomp (described by The Times as the ‘great British hope for music conducting’), and augmented by top Brighton choir The Rainbow Chorus, and the cream of the young musicians in Sussex from the Brighton Youth Orchestra. The score also includes a Fatboy Slim remix of a Real Sounds Of Africa tune. Plus, there’s a special message from George Clooney on the plight of the people of Darfur. Starring great actors and singers – Seth Morgan as Borowski, Guy Picot (Footballers’ Wives and Holby City writer) as Daghani, Ross Gurney-Randall as The Guard, the beautiful Adele Zizi as Maria and amazing singers Jenny James as Nanino, Kerri McLean as Joan and Angi Mariani (better known as rap artist Eminemmylou – www.myspace.com/eminemmylou, over one million hits in six months) as Micheline Maurel.

What I Heard About Iraq Award-winning political theatre
The Yarnbards Improv fun for the whole family Have you heard the tale of the werewolf, the zombie and the tourist from Cornwall? Perhaps you’d like to see an uplifting show about an unhappy elephant, a magic stamp maker or a radio DJ who lives in a cupboard? Whatever combination of weird and wonderful things are in your head, these could all end up on stage when you go to see The Yarnbards. Co-founded by the king of improv, Richard Vranch (Whose Line Is It Anyway, Smack The Pony, Paul Merton’s Improv Chums), and actor/director Leisa Rea, the Yarnbards turn audience suggestions into clever, funny and often bizarre tales. Previous inventions include
If someone asked you what was going on in Iraq right now, what would you say? It’s easy to feel lost in the swirling sluice of 24-hour news and commentary. What I Heard About Iraq cuts through the confusion, to give a voice to those directly affected by the war and remind us all of what we used to know. From 2001, when Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell declared Saddam Hussein posed no threat, to our entry into Iraq, to the sublime ridiculousness of Dick Cheney’s press conference appearances. What I Heard About Iraq is a piece of verbatim theatre, based on an article that originally appeared in the London Review Of Books. It uses statements from politicians, soldiers and civilians and is constantly updated to create a living, breathing picture of Iraq. Developed in the US, the show premiered in the UK at the Edinburgh Fringe, winning a coveted Fringe First award. Last year, readings were held in over 47 locations worldwide, including Durban, Athens and Berlin to mark the anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Udderbelly, Old Steine, 7 May, 5pm, £8/£10. Call 01273 709709 or see www.udderbelly.co.uk
a ‘who can be the nastiest’ competition between a horrible auntie and a bad wizard, a cow on a boat in the Mediterranean looking for pizza, talking hippos, magic broccoli and haunted fruit. Although the show is recommended for ages 7 and up, it’s not just for children. The performers all come from adult theatre and comedy backgrounds and the sheer bizarreness of the suggestions and the actors’ improv skills ensure this is a show that works for everyone. Udderbelly, Old Steine, 12 and 26 May, 1pm, £6/£8. Call 01273 709709 or see www.udderbelly.co.uk
Think No Evil Of Us My Life With Kenneth Williams by David Benson This one-man show is much more than a run of the mill biographical tribute. Using Williams’ diaries and other background material, David Benson has created a fully rounded character that gives a glimpse behind the public persona of one of Britain’s best loved comedians. He has succeeded in building a portrait of a highly complex man: vulnerable, insecure and capable of taking your breath away. “I want to portray Williams as a character rather than as an historical figure,” said Benson, admitting he is fascinated by Williams’ ability to “continually redeem himself by turning his
private torment into blistering comedy.” Weaving an autobiographical strand into the performance, Benson tells of his own link to Williams (courtesy of a Jackanory competition at the age of 13) and compares his own confusion with his emerging sexuality. His resemblance to the much-beloved Carry On star is uncanny – so much so that friends and colleagues of Williams have given it their seal of approval, including Barbara Windsor, Nicholas Parsons, and Barry Took.

TUESDAY 24
From radical potions to needles and knives, with all heavily advertised quick fixes out there it‘s hard to believe you can be happy and healthy from something as simple as the right diet and chemical-free products. So for those in need of a makeover and interested in perhaps a less dramatic, but no less potent recipe for natural beauty, read on.

Research has demonstrated again and again that people who consume antioxidant-rich food, such as fruits and vegetables, are at a lower risk of developing diseases, have greater energy and experience less weight gain. Their mineral, vitamin, phytonutrient (disease-fighting chemicals) and fibre-filled content counteract the effects of cellular damage. While remembering what to eat, it’s just as important to be aware of what not to. Coffee may be part of your daily routine but it’s worth remembering one cup of coffee flushes around two glasses of water from your system. Without water, the body cannot detoxify properly and the skin will inevitably become less supple and bright. So be sure to drink a minimum of six to eight glasses of fresh, clean water daily. In terms of looks, a supplement which particularly benefits the skin is fish oil. This is because it is high in the essential fat omega-3. As well as being critical to every cellular function in the body, omega-3 makes your hair softer and shinier. You can also get it through eating cold-water fish, flax oil, nuts and seeds. And, of course, nothing ages the skin quicker than smoking. The average cigarette depletes the body of approximately 60mg of vitamin C. That and the many other detrimental effects to your health mean the quicker you quit the better.
…and out The skin is the body’s largest detoxifying organ. Consider then the constant barrage of tight clothing, antiperspirants and heavy moisturising lotions, and you’ll have an idea why the body cannot always do its job efficiently. For the body, dry brushing is one method to help your skin breathe and detoxify more effectively. When it comes to the face, just checking the ingredients in most of your normal products will run up a list in the hundreds. Going without make-up once in a while will let your skin breathe a little. If, however, the idea of leaving the house without it brings you out in hives, then it may be worth investing in some natural make-up. There are plenty of brands now offering products with natural (usually from plant origins) and often organic ingredients which your skin will thank you for. Natural products can also be applied to your clothing. Materials such as hemp let your skin breathe and are often offered by companies with fair-trade objectives – so you’re not just helping yourself. Nothing however, will protect you from the elements as much as a good laugh (which increases your body’s ability to fight off infection) followed by the regenerative effect of a good night’s sleep.

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD & DRINK
Open House farmers market
Sponsored by challenge of achieving flavoursome, wellcooked and aesthetically pleasing dishes within the two-hour time constraint. Recipes were only given to competitors 45 minutes before the start of the cook-off. They were also cooking in front of a host of photographers and film crews. Armand says: “This is the most fantastic point in my career. I am just so thrilled and I look forward to every aspect of the year ahead. City College gave me an excellent grounding as a chef. My tutors spotted my potential and pushed me to my limits, which I’m now very grateful for.” Michael Buckman, the programme area leader of City College’s Catering And Hospitality department says: “Armand was an outstanding student here and maintains strong links with the college. We’re delighted to see him win such a prestigious honour. This is great news for City College and it also shows that Brighton is producing some world-class chefs.” Michel Roux, chairman of the judges, says: “All too often chefs focus on presentation to the detriment of flavour. Today, flavour triumphed, especially in Armand’s dishes. His flavours were superb – from the sauce, through to the soufflé, the beef and including the garnish. And we were lucky to have some of the finest beef fillet that anyone will have tasted.” Armand works for Andre Garrett, the 2002 Roux Scholar, and this is the second time in the history of the competition that a previous Roux Scholar has nurtured one of his young chefs to reach the same high standard. As well as winning the all-important scholarship, Armand has won £3,000 cash, plus up to three months training at a three Michelinstarred establishment in Europe, and trips to New York, Champagne and Milan, as well as a host of other prizes for him and his employer.
Celebrating good eating and raising money for B&H Food Partnership How nice to see that some of my favourite things have got together in May. The Open House pub and Brighton and Hove Food Partnership are joining forces to hold an eventful street party and farmers market on the opening and closing days of the Brighton Festival. If you’re in the Fiveways area, trawling the many open houses on show during those weekends, make a diversion via the Open House pub and check out the events. There will be an array of market stalls in the street outside the pub, offering local produce, arts and crafts and fine local wines. Local bands and Morris dancers will be entertaining the shoppers throughout the day and into the evening along with face painters, Hands On pottery and the Smoothie Bike Man will be there to keep the children entertained all day. The Open House kitchen will be cooking up a barbecue and sample menu of the fresh produce offered by the stalls during the day, and a local wine merchant will be offering up some local samples to boot. With the promise of fabulous weather and the newly refurbished garden you’ll be hard pushed to drag yourself away! If that’s not enough to entice you, there will be two separate exhibitions on show at the Open House throughout the festival. The Fiveways Artist Group’s artwork – compiled especially for the festival – will be exhibited in the lounge room and a combined exhibition by local artists Emma Brownjohn, Becky Blair, Tiffany Lynch and Edwina Roberts will be on show in the upstairs function room. Open House Farmers Market and Street Party, Saturday 5 May and Sunday 27 May. Market stalls open 12pm-5pm, entertainment 12pm-late

Brighton chef wins top prize Armand Sablon (26), a young Brighton chef who studied at City College Brighton and Hove, recently competed with five other finalists to carry off the title Roux Scholar 2007. The Roux Scholarship, which attracts applications from right across the UK catering industry, is widely respected as the most prestigious competition in the UK for young chefs aged 22-30. Armand’s interpretation of the classic dishes Escoffier Tournedos Rachel and Roux Bordelaise Sauce, together with a Macaroni Soufflé, clinched the award. His success was announced by Michel Roux at an awards ceremony in the presence of 300 culinary ‘glitterati’ at London’s Mandarin Oriental, Hyde Park. The esteemed judging panel – Gary Rhodes, Brian Turner, Heston Blumenthal, David Nicholls and Andrew Fairlie – is headed by competition founders, Michel and Albert Roux, joined by their respective sons Alain and Michel Junior. As two of the other finalists had also competed with Armand in the 2006 finals, competition this year was particularly intense. In the ‘cook-off’, under the watchful gaze of the judges, the six finalists chopped, diced, sliced, stirred and tasted. Tensions ran high, but tempers remained calm, as competitors were faced with the difficult

Also showing... A quick look at all this week’s releases 300 (15) Dir: Zack Snyder Based on Frank Miller’s graphic comic 300 concerns the 480 BC Battle of Thermopylae in which 300 Spartans fought against a 100,000strong Persian army. Pure proto-fascism mixed in with a sweaty dollop of homoeroticism. (3/5) Showing at Cineworld, Odeon, and Worthing 9th Company (15) Dir: Fyodor Bondarchuk This Russian military epic is both bloody and sombre. Following the ill-advised invasion of Afghanistan in the 1980s, the film focuses on a young set of recruits struggling to justify their fighting for a country that would soon cease to exist. Brutal but authentic. (3/5) Showing at Odeon Alpha Dog (15) Dir: Nick Cassavetes A dire but finely polished thriller, this new film from Cassavetes, son of infamous cult director John, documents the life and crimes of Jesse James Hollywood, the youngest person ever to be on the FBI’s most wanted list. Justin Timberlake stars alongside Bruce Willis in this grimy, pimped-out indulgence. (3/5) Showing at Odeon An Inconvenient Truth (U) Dir: Davis Guggenheim This slick but vital documentary follows former vice president Al Gore as he spreads his message of global warming. Not exactly a thrilling experience, but this remains an essential film for our modern world and has helped propel the environmental debate centre stage in recent months. (4/5) Showing at Odeon Beat Girl (12) Dir: Edmond T Gréville With the superbly trashy tag line ‘My mother was a stripper… I want to be a stripper too’, this 1960 camp classic gets a rare big screen outing. With a penchant for jazz and sordid rock ‘n’ roll, this is a flimsy but incredibly endearing slice of rebellion propaganda. With a debut appearance by Oliver Reed and a young Christopher Lee, this is British cinema at its most puerile and immediate. (4/5) Showing at Duke Of York’s Blades Of Glory (12A) Dir: Josh Gordon and Will Speck This farcical comedy based around the theatrics and camp wonder of professional figure skating stars Will Ferrell and Jon Heder. After being banned from the sport, Olympic rivals Ferrell and Heder team up as the first all-male duo. Inevitably madness, mishaps, and general silliness ensue. (3/5) Showing at Cineworld and Odeon Charlotte’s Web (U) Dir: Gary Winick This recent adaptation of EB White’s classic tale is high on special effects and boasts a voice cast of the highest order with the likes of Steve Buscemi, Julia Roberts, John Cleese, Oprah Winfrey, and Robert Redford providing their vocal talents to a variety of farmyard animals. Cute stuff, but the saccharine sentiment is ever present. (2/5) Showing at Duke Of Yorks Curse Of The Golden Flower (15) Dir: Yimou Zhang Set in 10th century China, on the eve of the Chong Yang Festival, this is epic melodrama at its most ornate and indulgent. The most expensive film ever to come out of China, the grandiose theatrics on display may be impressive, but they cloud the narrative. (3/5) Showing at Duke of York’s, Cineworld and Odeon
Freaks (12) Dir: Tod Browning This 1932 oddity is a much lauded classic of the horror genre. Telling the story of a beautiful trapeze artist who marries the leader of a circus of ‘freaks’, this is a deft and often shocking portrait of physical deformity. A film that certainly lives up to the promise inherent in the title. (4/5) Showing at Duke of York’s Half Nelson (15) Dir: Ryan Fleck Ryan Gosling delivers an Oscar-nominated performance in this charming but brutal tale of class, drugs, sex, and friendship. Gosling plays a Brooklyn history teacher whose unorthodox methods make him more popular with his students than his principal. Out of class he tries to numb his idealism with drugs, sex and alcohol until his two worlds collide. Shareeka Epps gives a subtle but powerful performance as Gosling’s accidental confidante. (4/5) Showing at Duke of York’s Hannibal Rising (18) Dir: Peter Webber Hannibal the cannibal gets squeezed for his final dollar in this shameful instalment. Gaspard Ulliel delivers an MTV performance as the teenage Hannibal as he develops his first taste for human flesh. (2/5) Showing at Worthing Theatres The Lives Of Others (15) Dir: Florian Henckel von Donnersmark Donnersmarck’s astounding movie debut focuses on the horrifying system of observation in the former East Germany in the early 1980s. Winner of Best Foreign Language Film at this year’s Oscars, this is a superb film with an evocative portrayal of love, loss, and personal liberty. (4/5) Showing at Duke Of York’s and Odeon Meet The Robinsons (U) Dir: Stephen J Anderson Another animated adventure from Disney finds the usual mix of thrills, spills, and general nausea. This time the story focuses on a young inventor and his battle to save the world. The big name voices are noticeably absent but the film retains a unique style that follows The Incredibles a bit too closely. (2/5) Showing at Cineworld and Odeon Mr Bean’s Holiday (PG) Dir: Steve Bendelack Mr Bean returns with his goofy ways as he travels to the south of France. Traditional British slapstick fun. (3/5) Showing at Cineworld and Odeon Shooter (15) Dir: Antoine Fuqua Mark Wahlberg plays an assassin on the run in this slick but dated tale of intrigue, doublecrossing, and revenge. Danny Glover and the excellent Ned Beatty also star. (2/5) Showing at Cineworld and Odeon Sunshine (15) Dir: Danny Boyle Set 50 years into the future, this sci-fi epic sees Danny Boyle resurrect a genre that hasn’t been at full strength since the heady days of Aliens or Outlander. (4/5) Showing at Cineworld and Odeon Wild Hogs (12A) Dir: Walt Becker Defiantly oddball cinema with John Travolta, Tim Allen, William H Macy, and Martin Lawrence. This is a somewhat acquired taste and hits just as often as it misses in its defiantly eccentric meandering. (2/5) Showing at Cineworld and Odeon

L7 lowdown King of England New releases reviewed
7 Selects
This Is England (18) Director Shane Meadows Set in 1983 this coming-of-age story follows the life of troubled 12-year-old Shaun (the superb Thomas Turgoose) who lives at home with his mother after his father was killed in the Falklands War. After meeting a bunch of local skinheads his life takes on a thrilling new slant as girls, parties, and friendships take hold. Things turn sour when a racist skinhead (an excellent if chilling turn from Stephen Graham) returns from prison and Shaun is drawn into uncomfortable territory. There is no cloying modesty, here only hard truths, gentle humour, and a thrilling confidence. Craig Driver Showing at Duke Of York’s Duke Of York’sShowing at Duke Of York’s
The Hitcher (18)
Fracture (15)
Director Gregory Hoblit This arcane tale of an assistant DA and his cat-and-mouse struggle with an elusive businessman is pure cinematic tripe. After attempting to murder the DA’s wife, evil mastermind Ted Crawford (Anthony Hopkins) is released on a technicality. The DA (the usually reliable Ryan Gosling) then attempts to nail Crawford for his crimes before it’s too late. With a series of vague Hitchcockian pretensions and utterly risible one liners this is defiantly terrible stuff. Hopkins should know better and is quickly nailing the lid shut in the coffin of his career, while the direction of Hoblit is mediocre at best. Boring, daft, and dull, this is Hollywood cinema crawling blindly into obscurity. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon
Häxan (15)
Director Benjamin Christensen A searing documentary detailing the practices of witchcraft told through a series of slide shows, film clips, amateur dramatics, and ghoulish fun. Banned here for nearly 30 years, the film, with its horrifying claim to authenticity and vivid collection of misfits and miscreants, delivers more true chills and icy terror than the majority of modern day slasher flicks. The film company behind The Blair Witch Project took its name from this shady classic and borrowed more than a few tricks too. Catch this rarely seen film while you can. Showing at Dukes of York’s howing at
Director Dave Meyers Twenty years on, the 80s slasher horror starring Rutger Hauer gets remade for the iPod generation. Gone is the scary Dutchman and in comes the always gruff but far less scary Brit Sean Bean. The story remains the same as a young couple travel across America on spring break, only to encounter the murderous and devious hitcher. As the couple struggle to keep their lives and reputations intact, the whole film takes on a heady mix of gore, terror, and heavy metal songs. Why this film exists except as an exercise in commercial profiteering is a mystery. Without ever truly being scary this sad little film is a true horror show. Showing at Odeon
The Reaping (15) Director Stephen Hopkins This generic but decidedly ambitious film follows a former Christian missionary (an overly serious Hilary Swank) who specialises in debunking religious phenomena, as she investigates a small town which seems to be suffering from the ten biblical plagues. Cue special effects as rivers turn to blood and locusts descend from the sky. The production values are low and the script, often weighed down by religious dogma, is banal at best. Swank delivers a mediocre performance in a film that falters under the ridiculous nature of its central premise. Showing at Cineworld
Helen Jack examines the life and career of Shane Meadows as his new film This Is England is released
Turning his back on the onslaught of banality that has emerged in the form of the all-to-common British gangster flick, from the minds of Guy Ritchie (Snatch, Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels) and Nick Love (The Football Factory, The Business), Shane Meadows has produced some brilliant pieces of work that have managed to inject some hope into our flailing film industry. Meadows began filmmaking in his early twenties while living in Nottingham, funding his creative projects with benefit money and affording himself the thrifty luxury of a non-professional cast made up of friends and acquaintances. Making numerous short films on a budget of virtually zero, the director proved himself to be in it for the creative rewards rather than the pay cheque, which eventually propelled him into enrolling on a performing arts course at Burton Technical College where he met the talented Paddy Considine. The pair teamed up for the first time as Considine gave an outstanding performance in Meadows’ hugely underrated film, A Room for Romeo Brass (1999) which later led to his lead role in Dead Man’s Shoes (2004) which proved simultaneously to be a critical and box office success (a rare occurrence) and secured the director a foothold in the industry. The film itself, with its Taxi Driver leanings and brutal, but deft, plot, has recently become a bit of an institution among young British filmmakers. Gliding into the stream of his ‘kitchen sink’ predecessors, Meadows has followed the lead of veteran British filmmakers such as Ken Loach and Mike Leigh, while holding his own and proving himself as a contemporary director that could document the political struggles of the 1980s, where he learnt his most important adolescent lessons in identity and social positioning. His latest film, This is England, explores the disillusionment of the skinheads that roamed the streets and council estates of Thatcher’s England in 1983, looking at the fractured societies that formed in an ever-growing multi-cultural nation, and one affected by war. Based on autobiographical insights, the film looks at both sides of the struggle and attempts to give its audience an informed picture of a problem that is often looked at from the safety of middle class comfort and ignorance. While being a consummate professional and a rare talent, it remains Meadows’ modesty that is so often profound and deeply moving, and sets him apart from his contemporaries. Never one to suggest that he is anything more than a filmmaker trying to reflect something personal, Meadows effortlessly draws his audience into his own distinctive world of complex characters and environment without the slightest hint of pretension or moral high ground. Shane Meadows has been put on a pedestal by critics, and heralded as the saviour of British cinema – a huge burden for anyone to carry. But is the future so dim? With Andrea Arnold’s debut feature, Red Road (2006) and the films of Lynne Ramsay (Ratcatcher, Morvern Callar) proving to be examples of mature filmmaking, perhaps there is hope for this country’s film industry yet. With the release of This Is England we finally have a film that refuses to pander to the American dollar and takes pride and pleasure in the complexities of an England born from experience, pain, and pride, and is not simply from the floral pen and parchment of Richard Curtis. This Is England is on general release from 27 April Shane Meadows

THE BIG GIG
THIS WEEK Deep Purple Formed in 1968 with Rod Evans on vocals, the classic Purple line up of Blackmore, Paice, Gillan, Lord and Glover took shape in 1970, releasing a string of no-nonsense hard rock and proto-metal albums and one big hit, ‘Black Night’. It didn’t last long though, Gillan and then Blackmore leaving before the band fully imploded in 1976. They did resurface for a few years in the mid-80s and today the three members of the classic quintet (Paice, Gillan and Glover) have been supplemented by Steve Morse on guitar and Don Airey on keyboards. A rare chance to see a genuinely legendary and hugely successful hard rock band. Whether or not they play that wretched ‘Smoke On The Water’ remains to be seen though… Sun 29 April, Brighton Centre, 0870 900 9100
Australian Pink Floyd
Babyshambles Pete Doherty and band hit the road. What state they will be in when they arrive here, God only knows… Sun 25 November, Brighton Centre, 0870 900 9100
Latest 7’s Top 5 records Arctic Monkeys Favourite Worst Nightmare (album Domino) Hard to gauge how this band will do second time around – their strippeddown, basic rock’n’roll tuneage is largely a continuation of the first album. It is perhaps the rawness, yet classic blues structures that explains part of the appeal. They also still have a knack for pop hooks and big riffs and with the resonating and reverb- drenched spoken vocal of Alex, married to a tremendous mosh-inducing dynamism and a subversive finger to the industry machine, well, it’s easy now to see what all the fuss is about.
1
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Baby 81 (album Drop The Gun Recordings/Island)) Another superb lesson in Stooges/garage/sleaze rock dynamics with a bit more of modern Primal Scream and Jesus & The Mary Chain thrown in.
2
Maria McKee Late December (album Cooking Vinyl) Extraordinary musical vision from McKee with homages to Bowie, Dusty Springfield, Patti Smith and Queen. There’s country, glam, rock, music hall and sixties-style lounge here. A unique talent.
3
Tom McRae Kings Of Cards (album Polydor) Fourth album from superb singer-songwriter with another raft of intelligently crafted tunes.
4
Ash Then & Now (album Infectious) Crunching and fuzzed-up guitar blasts of pop from these veterans of the Brit pop scene back in the 1990s.
5
The inexorable rise of tribute bands continues apace. I could never really figure out the appeal of them, but I suppose I wouldn’t know as I have never ever been to one except to see this lot. All I can say is that I can imagine tribute bands playing better versions than the actual original performers, because usually they copy it note for note, just like the records, which is often how fans want it. The Australian Pink Floyd are an exception in that they do embellish Pink Floyd material a bit, but not enough to annoy punters who are generally there to hear how it sounds on record, and to re-live their gig-going years. They also have a sense of humour, incorporating a huge kangaroo within their live shows… Mon 30 April, Brighton Centre, 0870 900 9100
The Copper Family The Copper Family have worked in and around Rottingdean for centuries. In 1897, a Mrs Kate Lee collected the songs from James ‘Brasser’ Copper and his younger brother Tom that would inspire the formation of the English Folk Song Society. In 1936, James’s son, Jim wrote the words of the family songs into a book. And, in 1950, Jim heard one of their songs sung on the radio. Persuaded by his son Bob, he wrote to the radio show in question, and from there the Copper family were re-discovered, the rich Sussex harmonies of Jim, Bob, Jim’s brother John and son Ron filling the airwaves. Now another generation of Coppers are out singing regularly again. Mon 30 April, The Greys, Brighton, 01273 680734

BRIGHTON SCENE
THE MONTH AHEAD
A weekly round-up of what’s happening in the local Brighton and Sussex music scene
3 by 5
Brighton is really quite an extraordinary place when it comes to music making. You can find anything you want here, all genres, sub-genres, micro-genres and genres that don’t even exist yet. And although it is better known as a place for the alternative and experimental, there is also a place for more traditional and classic song writing. And this is what 3 by 5 (Tues 24 April, Joogleberry) do: write polished, classic pop songs with a retro-soul edge. Featuring three brothers within the five piece (hence the name of the band), they are launching their debut single (‘Mr. Nice Guy’) on South Coast Records at this gig. We never tire of old style class, and on that basis, plus a clutch of great Stars of Aviation songs, they could go very far… Getting back to the weird and wonderful, Stars of Aviation (Tues 24 April, Sussex Arts Club) head up a bill of leftfield pop, alt-country and generally melancholic loveliness. They love their French pop, it seems, and a bit of folk as well. Also on the bill are Blanket, a very surreal three-piece who make childlike lo-fi folktronica-style tunes of simplicity, while Diamond Family Archive are quite possibly the most downbeat and melancholy band in all of England. All three make me want to curl up in the fetal position, and lie in front of my parents’ roaring fire while being read a bedtime story… On the release front, there’s Kate Walsh an intriguing offering from the classically trained pianist turned acoustic singer-songwriter Kate Walsh. She recorded an album, Tim’s House, for next to nothing, released via her own label, and largely through word of mouth, her MySpace site (and some helpful iTunes marketing sass), the album made number one in the iTunes download chart and have been flying through the portals of cyberland. It’s full of whimsical, laid-back songs, many about growing up in the Norfolk fishing village of Burnham-on-Crouch. Major labels are apparently queuing around the block… The monthly Albert Sessions (Sun 29 April, Prince Albert) provides a live outlet for winners of the BBC South:Live demo The Telegraphs competitions. This month sees the energetic ska, rock and dub hybrid of Fitsroy meet up with the rockier sounds of The Telegraphs who draw influences from the likes of Idlewild, Radiohead, Constantines, Hope Of The States and Jeff Buckley.

I’m not looking forward to summer because it means my neighbours will open their windows. Not the neighbours above me, I love them. I ring them asking what tune they’re playing and can they turn it up. No, I mean the others. They have a dog. Say no more, I hear you say. Not just any dog but a little yippy dog. It comes out to the patio area below my baby’s bedroom to do its toilet and yips loudly, usually as I’m just trying to settle her to sleep. The first day they moved in, the only reason I discovered I had new neighbours, was this barking dog. Hours it barked. Not a deep loud bark, more a squealing yip.I looked out of my bedroom window and saw a few feet below me in their patio, (you know what these Brighton converted flats are like) a scrawny little terrier dog. It was the height of summer – 80 degrees – and they’d left it no water that I could see. My initial thoughts of throwing it some poisoned steak dissipated into feeling sorry for it. Poor thing. I’m not a dog lover, mind – I don’t see the point of owning a pet. Maybe if I lived in 17th century rural Wales, on a farm, maybe I’d get it then. But in a basement flat in Brighton in the noughties? I figure if you need companionship, make friends. Seems to me people have pets because pets have to love you, unlike other relationships which require effort. Pets love unconditionally and don’t answer back: a vast improvement on kids and partners!
“They were doing it not just at bedtime like good law-abiding Christians – doing it in the daytime!” Everything about pets annoys me, the very fact that they will always need feeding and faeces dealing with. At least with kids you know one day they will grow out of all that (the faeces, not the feeding. Oh no. What if one day my child wants a cat or dog?). Anyway, the neighbours eventually came back from watching the World Cup, and let him in. Ahh, peace. But no. They then had to throw a party to celebrate moving in, spending the whole night on the patio below my room, talking rubbish, chain smoking, which drifted into my bedroom (it’s only feet away!). I got up shouting, “Shut up you selfish bleeping bleeps!” I didn’t actually say bleep, I used real swear words that started with ‘f’ and yes, indeed, the big ‘c’. I didn’t care it was 3am – I was 9 months pregnant and I didn’t want to inhale their fag smoke or listen to their nonsense any more. I couldn’t go out partying any more, so why, dammit, should anyone else? If that wasn’t enough they then had to christen every room, in the way that couples do when they move into a new place. Every day for months they were christening the bedroom. They weren’t ‘christening’ anymore, they were rubbing my face in it now. Doing it twice a day every day, and not just at bedtime like good law-abiding Christians – doing it in the daytime! If I can hear them doing that, then I guess they can hear me fart and sing out of tune. Great. Can’t wait for summer…

★Latest 7 explores the karma at The World’s End It is easy to overlook London Road’s bars in the canon of Brighton’s boozeries. But over the past nine months there’s been a pubbing revolution happening here. The World’s End is a pub that is never standing still, and Richard, the manager, does a sterling job. The welcome you receive from him and his staff is always warm and friendly. There are drinks promos every day from 6pm–9pm and an excellent new menu and a no-smoking area and comfy sofas to fully enjoy it in. Every Wednesday is film night with a newish film at 9pm and a classic at 6pm. The pub games range from the traditional – pool and darts – to the ancient: carrom, the Indian disc board game. Thursday sees quiz night and Friday brings the excellent blues/rock/funk/soul deejaying of Vinyl Lives. Every first and third Sunday showcases local talent with an open mic night. Free wi fi and seating outside makes it a great place to sup a pint as you check your email. Frankie the buddha casts a serene presence over proceedings and his karmic energies have helped the pub win the All Bar None Bar of the Year Award. The World’s End – redefining London Road drinking. Viva la revolution! Eliot de Brouillard The World’s End is at 60–61 London Road, Brighton, BN1 4JE, 01273 692311
THIS WEEK AND THE MONTH AHEAD Temple Hedz and System 7 @ Concorde2 Somewhere, in a field deep in Glastonbury, covered in a thousand roaches and stomped flat by the DMs of a million dread-heads, there’ll be a corner that’s forever System 7. Now the elder statesmen of the psy-trance scene, they were busy marrying Timothy Leary samples and spidery guitar lines to pounding techno long before the current crop of fluoro kids donned their trance pants. Tonight Steve and co will be taking a keen Brighton audience to deep space with a formidable live show, while able support comes from the equally interstellar Banco de Gaia. Concorde 2, Madeira Drive, Thursday 26 April, 9pm–2am, £15/£12.
DJ Yoda @ The Zap After passing out from the rucksack ‘n’ baseball cap hip hop fraternity to the rank of proper party DJ with his canny cut and paste albums, DJ Yoda has been making clubbers across the world extremely happy with his scratchy-scratchy live show. Expect rap bangers and tongue in cheek cheese served up in equal amounts and punctuated along the way by some stunning AV action. The Zap, 189–192 Kings Road Arches, 27 April, 11pm–3am, £10
Obsession @ The Beach At one time the average Guardian reader’s token hip hop artist of choice (through no fault of her own) Ms Dy-na-mite-e-e has had a rough time of it recently, which has hopefully toughened up her sound in time for this Brighton club date. Bringing the noise for the rest of the night will be Beach club regulars Rampage and Outbreak playing hip hop and garage to a clued-up crowd. The Beach, 171–181 Kings Road Arches, 27 April, 11pm–3am, £8 before 11.30
Wrong Music @ Volks At the end of May comes National Noise Day (apparently), so prepare to endure lashings of the loud stuff when Wrong Music turn everything up to 11 and let you lot deal with the consequences. On the dance side there’s the usual splatterbreaks and grindcore merchants, while the punk/metal fraternity will enjoy a delicate set from original noisecore nutters Extreme Noise Terror. Volks, 3 The Colonnade, Madeira Drive, 31 May, 10pm–4am, £8/£7

BRIGHTON FESTIVAL
Welcome to the future In Futurology: A Global Review the future will never be the same again Oil is running out, temperatures are rising, China is on the rise – what can we do? This collaboration between Suspect Culture and the National Theatre of Scotland features a contortionist, a clown, a stand-up comedian and a tango dancer – all in a show that forecasts the end of the world. The premise is a global conference, but the format is cabaret. At the centre of the story is Patrice. Patrice is the delegate of the tiny Sandwich Islands where her home is sinking. So too are her hopes. At the global conference she struggles to negotiate the complex politics, conference sexual game playing and the heady topic of name-badge etiquette. What do you do in times of crisis? Do you resort to distraction tactics or do you call a conference and be seen to be doing something, even if what you are seen to be doing is all but useless. Futurology points the finger and suggests that we are all fidddling while a Rome-like global catastrophe starts to burn.
Suspect Culture have been described by The Times as, “The most innovative, most in-tunewith-the-times theatre company in Britain”, and this is a chance to see them in the exciting and provocative English premiere of their new work with the National Theatre of Scotland Futurology: A Global Review is at the Corn Exchange, Brighton Dome, Sat 5–Thu 10 May, 8pm, £18/£15. Postshow talk Mon 7, free to ticket holders. Call 01273 709709 or see www.brightonfestival.org
Operation opera
drama to the trenches of World War I. The story is the struggle between Britons and Saxons, a thinly disguised allegory of the contemporary struggle and political tensions of Charles II’s reign. The underlying theme however is one of the power of love to unite and heal warring factions. This is a world premiere performance of what promises to be yet another operatic triumph for these contemporary masters of the Baroque classics. King Arthur is at The Theatre Royal, Brighton, Thu 17 May, £22.50/£15/£10/£5. Call 01273 709709 or see www.brightonfestival.org
Contrasting Purcell productions, Verdi and Mozart Two chances to enjoy the work of Henry Purcell this year. The first on 16 May when a massively rebuilt version of Dido and Aeneas is staged in the concert hall at the Brighton Dome. This popular, but short, piece was first performed in the 1680s in the form that most of us are familiar with. But by 1700 it had been adopted by the commercial theatre of the time and expanded into a full evening’s entertainment. The theatre’s musical director back then, John Eccles, added additional musical numbers and far more colourful and ambitious orchestrations. Now the acclaimed company, who so successfully staged L’Orfeo in the 2004 festival programme, return to Brighton with their new reconstruction of this later and longer 1700 production of the Purcell masterpiece. Phillip Pickett with New London Consort give full rein to this full-length version of the original with a 28-strong ensemble playing on period instruments in a proms-style performance for one night only. Dido And Aeneas is at The Concert Hall, Brighton Dome, Wed 16 May, 8pm, £25/£20/£15, proms £7.50. Call 01273 709709 or see www.brightonfestival.org
King Arthur The second chance to enjoy the work of Purcell comes later in the festival when the Theatre Royal will play host to The Armonico Consort and their production of King Arthur. Last year they delighted Brighton audiences with a stunning The Fairy Queen that involved aerial acrobatic artists and puppets alongside stunning visual interpretations, and of course, excellent musicianship. This year they promise more of the same magic as they shift the action of this historic
Call 01273 709709 to book tickets or visit www.brightonfestival.org
The Magic Flute The Armonico Consort continue their week with two performances of Mozart’s foray into popular theatre, The Magic Flute. This time they use the jungle styling of Henri Rousseau’s painting as a setting for a theatrical romp and mystery that contains some of Mozart’s best-loved music. With their passion for circus, puppets and high wire antics, they give full rein to the fantasy and magic of this masterpiece in a flamboyant production that promises to thrill and entertain even the most inexperienced of opera goers. The Magic Flute is at The Theatre Royal, Brighton, Fri 18 and Sat 19 May, 7.30pm, £26/£22/£18/£15/£6. Call 01273 709709 or see www.brightonfestival.org

Held on Saturday 5 May and Sunday 27 May, the festivities kick off in the Fiveways area with Open Houses on show, events at the Open House pub and market stalls in the street outside. The stalls will offer local produce, fine local wines and arts and crafts while local bands and Morris dancers will keep shoppers entertained well into the evening. Children will be kept busy with face painting and the ‘Smoothie Bike Man’ while parents browse the goods on offer or take part in the hands-on pottery demonstrations. If that isn’t enough to tickle your tastebuds, the Open House kitchen will be offering food. The stallholders will put together a raffle later in the day, raising funds for the Brighton and Hove Food Partnership. There will be also two exhibitions displayed at the Open House pub throughout the festival, with artwork from the Fiveways Artists Group, compiled especially for the event, displayed in the lounge room.

In an intriguing installation at Hove Museum, see how discarded objects – in this case unwanted books – can be transformed into a finished paper sculpture. Susan Edwards’ new display takes over the sample drawers in the contemporary craft galleries at Hove Museum and ranges from inspirational material to pieces showing different ways of manipulating paper, and a selection of finished sculptures. The display gives a fascinating insight into this multi-disciplinary artist’s working processes. Susan Edwards says: “My ideas come from everyday objects like the layering of mushroom gills or the coiling of shells. I sometimes introduce elements of stitch or decoration, and the discarded book takes on a new life. I have become intrigued with the way the form of a book can be altered by folding its pages to form a three-dimensional structure. I alter the usual form of a book using techniques like rolling, folding and pleating. This turns the book into a powerful new object.” Susan Edwards, Hove Museum & Art Gallery, until 1 July

Annie Mac Is Annie Mac the nicest DJ in the world? Possibly – but then she’s so good that she doesn’t have to rely on either a) a previous career as a Big Brother contestant or b) a Wonderbra to further her career; just a bagful of CDs and an innate sense of what rocks a crowd. Train spotters may have demanded some more tunes from the left field, but this capacity bank holiday crowd lapped up her heady electro house. Audio, 7 April ✌✌✌✌
The Hanover Band Chorus performing St John’s Passion It’s quite long at over two hours, it’s in German and you can read the translation as you go – if you so desire. Bach’s St John’s Passion was a challenge to this Philistine reviewer. The Hanover Band are renowned as one of the finest period-instrument orchestras, and there were runs where, under the direction of Andrew Arthur, the chorus combined with subliminal ease. The soloists Julia Doyle and Allan Clayton shone. The overall impression – and perhaps this is down to seeing Handel’s Messiah previously on a grander scale at St Bart’s – was that the performance came into its own towards the end, yet needed a bigger punch throughout. St Nicholas Church, April 4 ✌✌✌ Jan Goodey The Hanover Band Chorus
Matt Chittock
Chungking After a long silence, Brighton born and raised Shaun Hennessy and Jesse Banks are back with a new band, a new sound, and a new album. Their first gig for over a year, their sweet psychedelic soul music has given way to a harder, dancier, electro edge as evidenced on their new single ‘Love Is Here To Stay’. Jesse is still a powerful force of nature – a truly bewitching presence on stage and one of the most distinctive and lovely voices in the business. With a few more gigs under their belt, their time may yet come this time around. Komedia, 5 April ✌✌✌✌ Jefferson
Rob and Scatz
Mess. A Jason Donovan lookalike delivered ‘oral cinema’ with guitar riffs, topped off with a gaggle of comics including Latest 7’s own Vicky Nangle in a warmly charming comedy set. All in all there was something for everyone to either love or hate. Joogleberry Playhouse, April 10 ✌✌✌ Mark David
Raw! A cross-section of local virginal raw talent and raw material was broken in: poets, singers, storytellers and stand-up comics; some resident, some from off the street. Hosted by The Brighton To London Poet, poetry was served with the panache and drama of Bernadette Cremin, promoting her book Perfect
Easter Sunday @ Sidesplitters We’re so spoilt in this city! Easter Sunday laying for us yet another unmissable stand-up golden egg. After a disappointing Butlins-style opening by the bunny-suit-wearing compere, the audience was rescued by some of the comedic crème of our locally grown produce – the excellent Toby Whithouse and two shining starsto-be, Seann Walsh and Jim Holland, serving up honest, organic and stylish portions, beautifully delivered too. Simon Plotkin and musical duo Rob and Scatz cleverly rounded off yet another entertaining Sunday night out, securing this popular weekly as the jewel in Sunday’s drinking crown.

City council elections 2007 With Brighton and Hove City Council elections coming up, Latest 7 shines a light on the city’s political landscape, asking a candidate from each party why they are standing
David Van Day Conservative Party Planning “I believe the planning system should work in the interests of local people. I will work to limit the attack on unsuitable land sites and urge developers to build properties with adequate car parking. Affordable homes need to be available for the whole community.” Transport “Transport policy in the city needs to be re-balanced, recognising the need for car use as well as encouraging sustainable transport options. By more sensible road layouts we will encourage faster-flowing traffic.” NHS “I believe that local health services should be properly funded by central government. The Conservatives will work with the NHS to put jointly provided services on a firm financial basis.” Education “I want to see all schools improved so parents from across the city will feel confident about the education their children will receive.” Transparency “A Conservative council will work with the grain of local people and carefully listen to all views. We will improve consultation, keep the open committee system and re-connect with residents who feel their views are ignored by the present administration.”
Karen Barford Labour Party “Early in my adult life, I realised that I identified more closely with the Labour Party than any other political group,” says Karen Barford. “Living, working and bringing up my four children in Brighton under the Labour council has reinforced this view. “I embraced the opportunity to stand in Woodingdean, feeling that I am well equipped to represent local residents. I have a strong interest in local issues and the local impact of national policy and legislation. “I feel that it is important to encourage people to participate in decisions that will affect their daily lives. I am especially keen to ensure that hard-to-reach groups are given equal opportunity to access information and services. Labour’s achievements have been outstanding but there is still so much to do. This is a crucial election. Voting anything other than Labour could mean a Tory council.”

Rachel Fryer Green Party Rachel Fryer is a well-known local pianist, teacher and Green Party activist, who lives in Queens Park. Always passionate about environmental issues, she quickly realised just how much could be achieved as a result of the strong support for Green politics in the area and decided to get involved. “I am standing for the Green Party in this election, because I think it is vital that the council addresses environmental issues in a far more radical and effective way,” she said. “We are the only party with the vision and policies capable of delivering the kind of sustainable changes needed to produce a more fulfilling lifestyle for everyone in our city, while treating the earth with the respect it deserves.”
James Ledward Liberal Democrats For the past 15 years James Ledward has been the editor of Gscene magazine and during that time has been a vocal critic of the city council’s funding of the voluntary sector. He believes that local politicians have surrendered too much power to council officers who make decisions on a daily basis without reference to voters. Consultation happens but the council doesn’t listen with too many decisions made outside the political process. He supports the city’s major developments, as he sees them necessary to move the city forward both as a tourist and conference destination, creating more jobs and providing more business for the hotel and leisure sector. He believes that Labour has not delivered a coherent parking regime for the city and everyone should be able to park near their home. He believes that parents should be able to send their children to schools of their choice. A new school for central and East Brighton is the only remedy to the present problems. Health workers are demoralised and feel undervalued. He believes we need a complete review of National Health workers’ salaries.

Other parties and independent candidates that are also standing across the city include: Ben Potter (English Democrats), Brian Ralfe (Independent), Gemma Furness (Independent), Nigel Furness (Independent), Peter Poole (Independent), Nick Savvides (Independent), Jo Offer (Independent), Tracey-Ann Ross, John Walshe (Independent), Debbie Dawes (Independent) and Jayne Patricia Bennett (Independent).
Tony Greenstein Alliance for Green Socialism “I am standing for the Alliance for Green Socialism because we need to create a society that is based on the needs of people, not the greed of the privatisers and asset strippers. How can we tackle global warming when it is capitalism which, through blind and unplanned production, is destroying the planet. Look at Microsoft with its new Vista system, designed to run only on new computers, necessitating the dumping of perfectly good computers that are ‘obsolete’. People not profit!”
Robert Stuart Nemeth Conservative Party “I’m standing because I simply enjoy and take pride in doing my bit. But, I’m also running as a Conservative because I believe that families, friends, neighbours, charities and societies are better at solving problems than inefficient governments. Architecture is my thing and I believe that the built environment generally has a massive bearing on people’s happiness. I and my Regency Ward running mate, Mike Macfarlane, hope to inject some real energy and passion into what should be Europe’s most exciting city!”
David Bangs Respect “Brighton is becoming a place where ordinary people cannot live. The housing market has gone mad and no new affordable public housing is built. Private landlords rip off tenants. We need homes and an end to poverty wages. Labour and Tory serve the rich. Greens and Lib Dems fudge the issues. Respect opposes privatisation, immoral wars and the destruction of nature.”
John McLeod Socialist Labour Party “I’m a lifelong socialist who joined the Socialist Labour Party at its birth in 1997 because I took the view, as many others did, that to fight for a socialist society was no longer practical within Blair’s New Labour Party. In Brighton, eight out of ten council housing tenants voted against transfer to a Housing Association and I’m proud to have chaired this local campaign, and to be endorsed by councillors Tonks and Hazelgrove who served on the housing committee.”
Please note: the views expressed in this feature do not necessarily reflect the views of Latest 7
Tony Davenport Brighton & Hove Independent “I, like many residents, have had enough of the shameful way political parties and the council have treated us, conducting sham consultations where the results are foregone conclusions, ignoring residents’ opinions and objections. I love Brighton and Hove and believe that our city needs – and deserves – a fresh start and proper representation for residents: in fact, genuine democracy.”
Mark Stack Protest Vote Party “We want to end the culture of politicians ignoring the electorate and getting away with it. We give people the right to vote ‘None of the Above’. “As we say on our website www.ProtestVoteParty.org, it’s not that people can’t be bothered to vote, it’s just that there’s no one suitable to vote for.”
Philip Clarke Socialist Alternative “The Socialist Party are standing along with the Alliance for Green Socialism to give voters in Hollingbury and Stanmer a chance to vote for a pro-public services, anti-cuts and anti-privatisation candidate. We are working towards building a large new party for working people to offer a true Socialist Alternative to the parties of big business.”
Stuart Bower UK Independence Party “Both Labour and Conservatives are committed to giving away our nation’s sovereignty without reference to the British people. “The people of Britain should have the right to choose whether or not they wish to be governed by foreign politicians from Brussels, who know nothing of our country, who in all probability do not even speak English, or British politicians democratically elected to Westminster.”

Principal boy City College appoints a new principal The board of City College, Brighton and Hove, have announced that they have appointed Phil Frier to the post of principal and chief executive with effect from August 2007. Frier is currently executive director at Sussex Downs College which has campuses in Lewes and Eastbourne, and was formerly principal of Park College, Eastbourne before it merged with Sussex Downs College in 2003. The appointment has been made following the announcement last November by the current principal Ann Smith, that she would be retiring in January 2008. City College then announced in February this year that it would be seeking funding to completely rebuild its estate and because of the complexity of these negotiations, Ann Smith agreed that it would be in the best interests of the college strategically for the new principal to lead the bid process and so she will now be retiring in August. The chairman of City College, Martin Perry, is thrilled to have secured the services of such an experienced educational leader to take over the helm at City College. “We face huge challenges ahead and Phil Frier demonstrated to us that he shares our vision for the college,” says Perry. “He has the expertise and determination to deliver a college that has a reputation for high-quality teaching and learning and is at the heart of our local education and business community. “He has an enviable track record in the further-education sector, coming from Sussex Downs College, which is a very successful college with an excellent reputation,” Perry continues. “Phil has built productive collaborative partnerships with other education providers and sectors and these skills will be a vital ingredient for the job in Brighton and Hove. I’m really looking forward to working with him.” Appointee Frier is delighted to have been appointed to this important post at City College. “Brighton and Hove is a vibrant and exciting city that deserves only the best educational provision,” he says. “I share the view of board members in believing that City College should be a real
centre of excellence providing outstanding education and skills training. I’m really looking forward to working in close partnership with the other college principals and school heads in the city, and forging effective working links with the city council and local businesses and arts groups. “Brighton is a fast-evolving world-class city and I want City College to be a key part of that development in terms of the new campus accommodation, but more particularly in terms of the quality of teaching and learning available to both our young people and members of the adult community.” On the importance of the college to Brighton and Hove, Perry adds: “The selection panel from the board were supported by external members representing both the education and business community. Part of the selection process included a buffet laid on by City College students where all the candidates were invited to meet external stakeholders with an interest in the college. I am extremely grateful to all of those who took part in the process. The attendance at the reception clearly demonstrated the huge support the college enjoys and what an important part it plays in the educational landscape of the city.”

SATURDAY 28
8 Mile ★★★★✩
Hope Floats ★★✩✩✩
(2002, ITV2, 10.30pm. Dir Custis Hanson) Eminem goes back to his roots in this tale of a troubled white boy rapper growing up on the wrong side of the tracks. Proving that words, rather than violence can form an escape route from poverty and danger, this is a well played story rather than typical exploitation fare. Victoria Nangle
(1998, ITV1, 11.45pm. Dir Forest Whitaker) A misguided vehicle for Sandra Bullock, Hope Floats is a routine romantic comedy in which she stars as a former small town prom queen who’s forced to return to her roots after her marriage skids off the rails. Bullock tries to breath some life into the script, but is drowned by ten tonnes of nasty American schmaltz. MC
WEDNESDAY 25
Carnival of Souls ★★★★✩
(2002, BBC3, 10pm. Dir Gore Verbinski) The American version of the film previously seen in the East comes to the West all ready to scare your socks off. Naomi Watts plays a single parent who comes across a terrifying video that curses the viewer – with horrifying results… VN
It’s infuriating, but America’s Next Top Model has Dani hooked on one particular channel I am addicted to Living TV. Monday nights are signed off to watch America’s Next Top Model. Series seven has just come to an end, but there is another series that will be hitting our screens later this year. To watch this, you don’t even have to have any interest in modelling. Former supermodel Tyra Banks hosts the show and is one of the panel of judges who the contestants stand before once each week. Each series starts with Tyra whittling down a group of hundreds of girls to just 13. These lucky 13 get to move into a big, posh house together. And that’s where it gets interesting, and funny. Most of the girls in the house are full of confidence and have already decided that they will win. Watching a clash of thirteen girls who all think they are the best thing since sliced bread can be very entertaining. Once they have all settled into the house, Tyra takes them to get a make-over, which is fantastic viewing, because at least two girls will break down and refuse to have their hair cut this way or that. Surely these girls must have watched previous series of this, why are they so shocked to find that Tyra Banks doesn’t like their hair do!? Once they have been strapped to chairs and had their hair cut off, they get to start doing some photo shoots, which instigates bickering and lots of attempts to outdo each other. Each week, the girls all go before the panel to be judged on their performance that week, and one girl is sent packing. Now, the thing that gets me is that each week the panel of judges change their mind about what they are looking for. They say they want a girl with personality, but when a girls walks in wearing something that makes her stand out she is told that she looks crap. Then, when all the girls look the same, they are told to try and look different. It’s infuriating to watch, but for some reason I can’t stop looking. Fantastically, Living TV have also started showing The X Files from the very beginning, every week night at 7. Dana Scully has fluffy hair and chubby cheeks. Fox Mulder has an obsession with UFOs and a baby face. If you never got the chance to catch any X Files before, now is your chance. Living also has CSI, Close To Home and the new show The Real Extras, which is also pretty funny. 50 latest 7

The Ring ★★★✩✩
Better living
24–30 Apr
THURSDAY 26 Scream 2 ★★★✩✩ (1997, Channel 4, 10.35pm. Dir Wes Craven) Sydney Prescott’s (Neve Campbell) teenage years have hardly been plain sailing, what with her mother being killed before the Scream franchise began and then being stalked by both her boyfriend and mate. Looks like college isn’t likely to be better – especially with Wes Craven’s patent triple red herrings and knowing slasher scenes. VN
FRIDAY 27 Napoleon Dynamite ★★★★✩ (2004, Sky Movies Indie, 9pm. Dir Jared Hess) The movie that turned the post-MTV generation on to the wonder of geek chic. Jon Heder stars as the allAmerican loser of the title who refuses to believe that he’s not a legend in his own lunchbag. Eccentric without being irritating, it’s one of the best American indie flicks of the noughties. Matt Chittock Carrie ★★★✩✩ (1976, E4, 10.30pm. Dir Brian De Palma) It’s split-scene gore all the way in Brian De Palma’s still-harrowing arch exploitation movie. Sissy Spacek is fantastic as the put-upon teen who appears doomed to be a classroom freak for ever until she exacts a nasty (though wholly justified) revenge. The shock ending still has the power to make audiences jump, even after multiple viewings. MC
(1962, Film 4, 12.55am. Dir Herk Harvey) Want to understand the eerie id from which the best of David Lynch comes from? Look no further than this cult horror curio in which a woman survives a car accident, but is haunted by feelings of disassociation from the world around her. Beware – this movie will nest in your brain for years. MC
SUNDAY 29 Gods and Monsters ★★★★✩ (1998, TCM, 9pm. Dir Bill Condon) A warm testament to James Whale, the Brit ex-pat responsible for some of Hollywood’s best early horror. McKellen excels as the gay director who is ‘inspired’ in his dotage by hunky gardener Brendan Fraser. A cutesy stroll through the footnotes of film lore, think Ed Wood with fewer dresses and more heart. MC
MONDAY 30 Get Shorty ★★★✩✩ (1995, Five, 11pm. Dir Barry Sonnenfeld) Freshly hot from his Pulp Fiction reinvention, John Travolta is entirely convincing as Chilli Palmer, a nasty Miami loan shark who finds himself right at home among the movers and shakers of the LA movie world. One of the better Elmore Leonard adaptations, a pinch of Tarantino-inspired dialogue plus some snappy direction make for a sophisticated treat. MC 8 Mile, Tuesday, ITV2, 10.30pm

tuesday 24 Horizon BBC2, 9pm We stole it from the gods and they’ve never forgiven us – fire, the one fear that all sensible animals share. And Professor Jose Torero of the University Of Edinburgh’s Fire Safety Engineering Centre has spent the last 10 years developing a system to revolutionise the way fires are fought. Look out gods.
Britain’s Drowned World: Time Team Special Channel 4, 9pm Thousands of years ago things were different. Not just ‘no MP3 players’ different. More like ‘lower sea levels’ and ‘Britain being geographically connected to Europe’. Yes, it’s a shock. Tony Robinson and co travel across the Channel and find mammoth bones and tiger teeth.
The Bull**** Detective BBC3, 8pm Exposing humbugs and frauds willy nilly, Alasdair Jeffrey is on the trail, cutting through more blather in 21st century Britain. And it’s fun to watch. Exposing the truth behind sofa sales, the price of cinema food and drink and the rubbish salesmen will say to sell you the latest gadgets, you know he’ll never run out of topics.

Natural World BBC2, 9pm And you thought your weekend was rough. Bet you didn’t think about those living near the Japanese giant hornet, one of the deadliest insects on earth. Watch as one giant hornet queen builds up a colony in an old temple garden and then sets them all to terrorise the villagers. Hangover doesn’t seem so bad now, eh?
Deadline ITV2, 10pm Celebs trying to run a celebspotting magazine, run by hardnosed no-nonsense taking editor Janet Street-Porter and pap extraordinaire Darryn Lyons. Oh no, it’s celebs having to do work, like wait for celebs to turn up – heh, heh – or take pictures of other people, or even do things when they don’t feel like it. Bless.

thursday 26 Human Footprint Channel 4, 9pm This is apparently a ‘landmark film’. Whether it can help you find your way home during wartime is neither here nor there, what is relevant is the fusion of science and art demonstrating the impact a single human being has upon the planet in its lifetime. From chocolate wrappers to birthday cards and snot – it’s all here.
Shark Five, 10pm James Woods’ super sharp courtroom shooter gets shoved a case he really doesn’t want. When four women die in a sweatshop fire, someone tips off the media and the mayor promises a conviction – even though it’s already been ruled an accident. Social conscience comes a-calling. Good stuff.
The Diary Of A Nobody BBC4, 10pm Andrew Davies’ adaptation of the fantastic socially satirical novel from George and Weedon Grossman, showing the scrapes and flusters an archetypal ‘little man’ gets into at the turn of the 19th century. Charles Pooter is an endearing and annoying man, put up with by his long-suffering wife. Brilliantly perfect.
