Festival city Hit me with your rhythms quick Magdalena Reasons to be Reising cheerful, parts 1, 2, 316. Yes, that’s 316 pages of the latest in homes, what’s on, music and art packed into this week’s Latest magazines.

Our biggest issues ever, we’re still lying down from packing the magazines with the hottest this city has to offer. Inside Latest Art, the special Brighton Festival issue, we look inside the Artists’ Open Houses to find out how it all works. Katie Glass goes in search of diamonds, trailing in the footsteps of her artcollecting hero, Charles Saatchi. And there’s the indispensable guide to the Artists’ Open Houses as a supplement inside.

This is the week that the Festival wakes the city and a welcoming purple cow appears on the Old Steine. The Brighton Festival Fringe starts celebrating after the Brighton Festival Children’s Parade on 5 May, from 1pm until late. Known as Fringe City, this Fringe extravaganza in Jubilee Square is a one-day celebration of all that is Fringe 2007 – a brandnew Fringe event that’s totally free, right in the heart of the city. Come and see the best and most exciting bits of the Fringe programme brought together on five stages (including one double-decker bus). Pick up a Fringe passport, get it stamped and pick up your free treats and special discount deals, plus competitions and huge giveaways.

During the day, there will be a track stand competition. Members of the public are invited to test their skills by balancing on their bikes against the clock. The world record hasn’t been broken since 1968! To get your ticket for a chance to win a top-notch bike, text ‘Fringe’ to QUICK (78425) and you will get a special message. (Texts cost 35p.)

After all the art, all the Fringe excitement, and reading all 316 pages, you might need to lie down too. Get your energy back by visiting Magdalena Reising’s beautiful harp and flute recital on 5, 6, and 7 May at 6pm at 54 Brunswick Square. Text 07786 405221 for more details. Then jump back up and check out Priorité à Gauche – Remastered, in the wonderful Udderbelly venue on 5 May at 9pm.

For tickets call 01273 709709.

And if you want to just lie in a hammock, being entertained by the best broadcaster in Brighton, tune in to Jeff Hemmings, Monday to Friday on 97.2FM, Latest Soup on Radio Reverb. Ah, bliss!

Clio carnival

Simon Asphar checks out the Renaultsport Clio 197 F1 Team R27, the limited edition hot hatch produced to celebrate Renault’s F1 successes The Renaultsport Clio 197 is already being hailed by many as the undisputed small hot hatch class benchmark, but Renault’s performance arm has already sought to move the game onto the next level with the launch of the eagerly anticipated Clio Renaultsport 197 F1 Team R27. This new limited edition of 500 is also the first time the Cup chassis has been seen on the new Renaultsport Clio 197, and will become optional on the standard model later in 2007.

Built at the Renaultsport factory in Dieppe, the new addition to the Clio Renaultsport range is inspired by the back-to-back success of the FIA World Championship winning Renault F1 Team, and understandably shares part of its name with this year’s Grand Prix car, the R27.

In keeping with Renault’s tradition for offering a Cup chassis option on its models for those performance enthusiasts who want an even more focused driving experience, the Cup chassis fitted as standard includes a raft of enhancements for both track and road driving. Among them, the ride height has been lowered by 7mm compared to the Clio Renaultsport 197 to ensure a lower centre of gravity and reduced load transfer for more effective cornering. Its cornering power has been improved even further by the springs which have been stiffened by 27 per cent at the front and 30 per cent at the rear, giving reduced body roll and pitch when cornering.

With a ten per cent increase in bending stiffness and more flexible bump stops, the double-axis strut suspension system is also

more stable when braking and offers greater steering precision when negotiating bends in quick succession. Lastly, it is equipped with the standard Clio Renaultsport 197’s robust, powerful Brembo brake system, using 312mm ventilated disks at the front and 300mm solid disks at the rear.

“This continues Renault’s rich heritage for producing grininducing hot hatches” Clio Renaultsport 197 F1 Team R27 is powered by a normally aspirated 2.0 16v engine and mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. Offering a wide power band, maximum power of 197hp is available at 7,250rpm, with 215Nm of torque at 5,550 rpm.

The new flagship Clio Renaultsport reaches 0–62mph in 6.9 seconds and takes only 27.5 seconds to travel 1,000m from a standing start. Combined fuel consumption is 33.6 mpg with carbon dioxide emissions of 199 grams per kilometre. The R27 has standard decals on the front, rear, roof and door to celebrate Renault F1 Team’s championship victories in 2005 and 2006. Customers also have the option to choose not to have the roof and door decals if they prefer, at no additional cost.

In keeping with its motorsport lineage, the new version also features Brembo four-piston brake callipers at the front, Liquid Yellow paint which originally appeared on the Clio

Renaultsport 182 and Clio Renaultsport V6 255 and exclusive Renault F1 Team badging.

Derived from the world of Formula One, it also boasts a rear air diffuser which channels airflow to increase downforce on the car’s rear end, so counteracting lift. Meanwhile, on the side of the car, extractor vents on the front wings reduce turbulence to optimise the car’s drag co-efficient and facilitate the outflow of under-bonnet heat. Including Liquid Yellow, the new model is available in six colours, including two non-metallic (Ultra Red and Racing Blue) and four metallic colours (Liquid Yellow, Deep Black, Nimbus and Albi Blue).

Continuing Renault’s rich heritage for producing grin-inducing hot hatches, this Clio features £1,500 worth of extra kit within its price tag of £17,250. The Clio Renaultsport 197 F1 Team R27 offers the same comprehensive standard-equipment list as the Clio Renaultsport 197, but in addition to air conditioning, cruise control, ESP and speed limiter, the new version adds 17” anthracite-coloured alloy wheels, red painted brake callipers, Renaultsport Recaro Seats, extra tinted rear windows, 60W radio and MP3-compatible CD player with four speakers, two tweeters and fingertip remote controls, and a 1 to 500 numbered plaque and F1 Team decals. The Recaro seats are usually an £850 option but feature as standard on the Clio Renaultsport 197 F1 Team R27, offering harness cut-outs for a sporty look as well as a weight saving of six kilograms. The numbered plate alongside the handbrake leaves you in no doubt as to the unique sporting heritage of the Clio Renaultsport 197 F1 Team R27.

Celebrity voices as art A preview exhibition of ongoing collaborative work between synesthetic artist, Philippa Stanton, who can ‘see’ sounds as colour and shapes, and award-winning photographer, Cambridge Jones, has opened at the Theatre Royal Brighton. The show is called PerSona and features famous faces, voices and synesthetic art inspired by those voices. The 20 celebrities given the treatment include Timothy Spall, Aidan McArdle, Johnny Vegas and Greta Scacchi, and the exhibition runs until 27 May.

A friend indeed James Taylor treated a packed Brighton Dome to a superb show on Wednesday 18 April. From chilled-out ‘You've Got a Friend’ to ‘The Frozen Man’ you couldn't help but feel heart-warmed by the songs, and by Taylor’s witty anecdotes drawn from his own life. Playing as a one-man band, he performed with a large home-made drum machine, and was given three standing ovations.

KATIE’S COLUMN

What Katie says Katie contemplates the concept of luck, as The Grand National is under starter’s orders…

Luck be a lady…

“There are three things that make you lucky,” Angi said. We were waiting for The Grand National to start. I hoped that those three things would be Joe’s Edge, Simon and Idle Talk – because I’ve got £2 each way on each of them.

There was silence. The horses shuffled across the grass, lining up for the starting gun.

“So… What would they be then?” I asked.

After all, this was Astral Angi

Imag e: Ch ris A shfie ld

talking; maybe she had some magic, astrological advice that could change my life for the better. Or at least win me £50.

“Oh?” Angi looked confused.

“The three things? That make you lucky? What are they?”

She may be Brighton’s most insightful mystic, but she can also be a bit dippy.

“Oh, yes, right. Well one of them’s being an extrovert. You know, if you’re sociable and you’re always out meeting lots

of people then more opportunities are likely to come your way.”

The gun cracked. The horses bolted, and then frantically pulled back in a messy scattering of colours, legs and reins. A false start.

“Mmm. And?” I asked.

“And what?” Angi replied.

“And what are the other two things that make you lucky?”

“After all, this was Astral Angi talking; maybe she had some magic, astrological advice that could change my life for the better. Or at least win me £50” “Reappraising incidents.

What would you call that? When negative things happen but you just look at them as if they’re positive. You make them appear positive.”

“Like when I asked Julie Burchill about being fired from The Times and she told me she’d just got bored of it. And then she called me up a few weeks later to say that, yes, she probably had been fired actually,” I offered.

“Yes, like that. What would you call that? Optimism, I guess,” she added, enigmatically.

“Right. OK,” I responded, thoughtfully.

The horses fidgeted for a bit.

Back and forth to the starting line, eyes bulging and feet twitching with testosterone, waiting for the race to start.

“And what’s the third one then?” I asked.

“Oh, I don’t know,” said Angi, then, after a pause added: “Sagittarians are really lucky.”

“Oh,” I said. “I’m a Taurus.”

The gun went off for the second time, and I waited for the inevitable.

Lucky star Brighton-based Lucky Jim’s first album is re-released If you missed the Brighton leg of Lucky Jim’s tour, then panic ye not. His brilliant first album, set to be a modern classic, Our Troubles End Tonight is out now for your delectation and delight.

Jim, aka Gordon Grahame, and the bloke whose song, ‘You're Lovely To Me’ is on the Kingsmill ad, is destined to be one of the big stars of 2007.

Referencing influences as eclectic as Neil Young, Lee Hazelwood, Serge Gainsbourg and Bob Dylan, his album, originally released in 2004 to great critical acclaim, has just been repackaged and re-released.

This time round it includes three additional new bonus tracks – ‘Sail On’, ‘I Won't Ask For More’, and an alternative cut of ‘You’re Lovely To Me’.

Lucky Jim? Lucky us.

The backlash starts here Chris Pacey has a bad time with Brighton’s door staff Never before have I felt so simultaneously ashamed and angry. And somehow, strangely macho. After all, it seemed that I had just been turned away from a nightclub for being too threatening and manly. I was part of a small group of three sober, well-presented men, who had spent their walk to the club entrance chatting quietly. Clearly, we were not to be trusted.

The ape-like behemoths that guard the archways of the seafront are there to ensure that everyone can enjoy themselves in safety, protected from any potential lager-louts, drug-dealers or trouble-makers. In practise, they are drunk with power and enforce a litany of contradictory rules.

Perhaps most galling are the lies rolled out in defence of their frequently baffling decisions. On one particular night, we were initially informed that the club was full to capacity. We politely asked why another group were being let in without so much as half an eyelid being batted; we were told, rather curtly, to mind our own business. But with more four letter words.

On other occasions, we have been asked to present ID. My friends and I are all approaching 30 and very few of us have driving licences – this is Brighton, after all, and driving is usually a luxury reserved for the

EMOTIONS

Dani’s diary Dani wrestles with the anxieties conjured up by the smell of summer and looks for some motivation I’ve tried over the past few weeks to write about anything but my new found best friend, Anxiety. But this week I’m gonna have to just a little.

A lot of my memories are based around smells, I can’t use Dove deodorant because that was what I was using when I was with my first boyfriend, I love the smell of fried food in the morning because it reminds me of Christmas Day. And most recently, I have become wary of the smell of summer, because last summer that smell accompanied me through the worst time of my life.

As the weather improves, I wake up each morning unsure of whether I’m better or not, unsure if this is still last summer or today. And those nightmarish few seconds can set me up on the wrong foot for the rest of the day. Because for some reason, although I know it’s stupid, I am worried that I will have a really bad day because the air smells the way it did when I had my worst days. How silly is that?

I’m trying really hard to keep my mind occupied so I don’t think too much, because when I get five minutes to think I start thinking the wrong things and that’s it. I haven’t washed my hair in a week because spending that extra few minutes in the shower with nothing to concentrate on is a bit too much. Writing this, I’m laughing at myself because I realise how ridiculous it sounds and I can’t believe it’s happening to me! But it is and I have to accept it and move on.

“I wake up unsure of whether I’m better or not, unsure if this is still last summer or today” Well, I’m 20 now, It doesn’t really mean anything does it? Just means I’m one year closer to being a fully fledged grown up. Not that I know what age a grown up is, I just know I’m not one yet. I’m not ready to start a regular job for regular money and spend Fridays at the pub and do DIY on Sundays. But on the other hand, I kind of am.

You only live once, and I would want to live that once to the full, but I don’t know how to do that. Not with everything else that’s going on, it feels like I’m existing not living and there is a big difference. I’ve had it too easy, I expect the next big thing to just drop in my lap and I have no motivation to go out there and get it. That’s the problem, no motivation.

It has to be the problem. For about two days I decided I suffered with SAD because it’s easier to have an illness with a proper name and a description you can understand. No motivation is my next one, and after that it will be something else, because I’m not satisfied with having a problem I can’t cure, control or understand.

With my last few words, I want to say a big thank you to everyone who has been so supportive to me. Strangers, friends and relatives, you have all helped me more than you will ever know. masochistic or the wealthy. Since the odds of us impulsively booking a charter flight to Lanzarote on a Friday night out are slim to none, we do not often have our passports in tow, for much the same reason that we do not carry suitcases about in Tesco’s.

Given that I haven’t had my age called into question since a week before my 18th birthday, I simply cannot believe that I don’t look old enough – which begs the question: why do they need to see ID at all? They think: “This person carries a photograph of themselves on an official-looking document.

Ergo, they are unequivocally neither criminal, nor trouble-maker. It is selfevident this person has never drunk to excess, taken drugs or started a fight.”

“Most galling are the lies rolled out in defence of their frequently baffling decisions” Of course, my question is rhetorical. ID is requested in order to make your life difficult to the maximum extent permissible under law, should the whim take hold. On another such night, bombarded by torrential rain, a friend of mine was sans ID. But he knew a couple of members of staff, so all we needed was for the bouncers to summon them – what could go wrong?

Apparently, “Names are for tombstones, mate, not for dropping”. It would have been magnificent to sneer something dignified and cutting. However, sardonic wit doesn’t have quite the same effect when delivered by a drowned rat. And anyway, they remained dry throughout. Bastards.

Building Britain David Dimbleby talks architecture

Last week, private chef to the stars, Michael Harwood, invited Brighton’s great and good to a very special launch party for his new catering service, Juniper. Michael has teamed up with another of the city’s finest caterers, Oliver Hyde, to launch the new service, which looks set to raise the bar for catering in the South East.

In his long and illustrious career, Michael has cooked for a variety of famous faces all over the world, from serving canapés at Trump Tower to a moonlit dinner for eight on a super-yacht in the Med. If you’ve got a party coming up and you fancy a bit of all-star celebrity catering, just visit the website at www.junipercatering.com

Kooks fill up

Architecture buffs of Brighton and Hove take note: I hear that acclaimed BBC TV commentator David Dimbleby is coming to town later on this month to promote his new series How We Built Britain.

The series, which also has an accompanying book, is a fascinating examination of the nation’s architectural heritage and gives a dramatic insight into the extraordinary buildings that have defined this country.

Mr Dimbleby will be giving a talk at the Corn Exchange on 25 May to illustrate what is sure to be a ground-breaking programme.

And if that whets your appetite for all things architectural, don’t forget that next month sees the welcome return of Architecture Week South East, a week-long celebration of the best of British architecture, featuring events, exhibition and discussion during 15-24 June. This year’s theme is Different Perspectives, whether this be the ways in which different people perceive a building, or looking at places which are usually hidden or ‘invisible’.

For more information on everything that is happening during this year’s Architecture Week South East, you can visit the website at www.architectureweek.org.uk

Frank’s signing I hear that one-time WBC Heavyweight Champion Frank Bruno recently made a star appearance at sports memorabilia store Football Bananas in The Lanes. The former fighter, who is as famous for his trademark laugh and catchphrase “Know what I mean, Harry?” as he is for his legendary fights in the ring, was at the store signing boxing gloves and photographs for fans.

Apparently, Big Frank stayed at the shop for three hours, and – according to staff – was very jovial and articulate. And I have good news for fans who missed the appearance: a signed pair of gloves are on sale in Football Bananas for £50. Visit www.footballbananas.com for details.

Last month, uber-cool rock group The Kooks, were spotted enjoying roast lamb all round at North Laine pub, The Eagle. The band are proof that no matter how rock’n’roll you are, there’s still always room for a good oldfashioned roast dinner.

The Brighton-based four-piece were playing a special hometown gig at the Concorde 2 that very evening, and the boys stopped by the pub to fill their boots with some of the best roast dinner available in Brighton.

Straight outta Brighton Another hot band of the moment, Kaiser Chiefs, recently awarded a Brighton resident the star role in their new video ‘Everything Is Average Nowadays’. William Cripps of city casting agency Fresh Agents was asked to play a young Eminem (the real Slim Shady is pictured below) in the video, which will be released next month.

Comedy celebrity anagram of the week: Eminem, the Real Slim Shady = “Elementary, idle mish-mash”

Corrie star’s seaside trip Spotted! Corrie star Owen Aaronovitch, embarking on a trip with his wife and kids up at Brighton Station. You may remember that the actor played pathological liar John Lindsay in the late 90s, when he wooed Deirdre Barlow with tales of his life as an airline pilot, when he actually worked at the Tie Rack stand at Manchester Airport!

Staggering along some great dead & unclean street in England’s Brighton, the vile large glare of the tumorous sun & the stench of subtle forgotten fornications.

Wicked whispers With Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards Hi gossip fans! You know, when I’m not coming 27th in the ski jump at the Olympics, I like to keep my eyes peeled for what Brighton celebs are up to that they’d rather we didn’t know about. So I’ll let you in on a few secrets, while hurtling down a ski slope at 150 miles per hour…

Which radio presenter keeps sneaking off to the toilet whenever a track’s playing for an activity unconnected with usual toilet activities? He’s on his last warning, or he’ll be receiving his marching (powder) orders.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Which actress is terrified that an ‘art film’ she made at the beginning of her career will come back to haunt her?

Apparently the movie contains an unusual performance with a donkey, of the sort you wouldn’t expect to find on Animal Hospital. Chriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiist!

Which sports star is playing away from home in more than one way (in the sense that in addition to playing games at other teams’ stadia, he’s also committing adultery)? If his missus finds out he’d better watch out for his tackle! Wooooooh! Aaaaaaghhh! I think I’ve broken my leg.

Well I’d best be off now to have this leg put in plaster and make an advert for double glazing or something. See you soon for more top celebrity gossip!

Hove factually Some more facts you might not know about fantabulous Hove.

1. Hove has its own flag, which is bright purple with a picture of former Don't Wait Up actor Tony Britten embroidered on it in gold braid, and the motto ‘Everywhere Other Than Hove Sucks’.

2. When he retired, Lolita author Vladimir Nabokov moved to Sackville Road, where he opened a bicycle repair shop.

3. Rather than jokes, Hove Christmas crackers include sexually explicit insults and threats of violence.

4. In 2006 My Chemical Romance lead singer Gerard Way was awarded the freedom of Hove. Previous recipients of this honour have included Ken Hom, Bob Carolgees, Idi Amin, Richard Digance, and David ‘Kid’ Jensen.

Hi Aries, a year is a leap year if it is divisible by four, unless it is divisible by 100 and not 400. Got it? So work out whether next year is a leap year or not and let Roy at Bardsley’s know.

Marriage is three parts love and affection, seven parts endurance and forgiveness, four parts a cup of tea and nice biscuits. Cancerians are made to be wed.

Your home is your larger body. It grows in the sun and sleeps in stillness, and dreams of leaving the hubbub of the city for grove or hilltop. The planets are saying a tidy-up is on the cards.

Do as you would be done by! Or do as others would like you to do? Or do whatever pops into your head at the time? Or do nothing? That, I’m sure you’ll agree, is the question.

STAND-UP COMEDY

A laughing matter Victoria Nangle’s got festival fever as she prepares to see and be seen

It’s madness I tell you – utter madness! With so much to see and so little time to do it, I even find that I’m seeing three shows in one day one after t’other at the same venue.

Yes, the festival has started and it’s time to grab it around the neck – gently – and go see those brilliant shows you carefully selected when the brochures first came out. That and the occasional random impulse buy on the night, snapping up tickets to quality shows that haven’t quite yet sold out, giving us the chance to get our greasy mits on those last few nuggets of golden tickets. It’s like living in Christmas-town for a month with a wide variety of shows catering to all tastes and flavours.

Including milkshake.

What’s more, not only am I dashing around from pillar to post watching great shows, I’ve actually been booked to appear in a couple too. Taking the new trend of interactivity that extra step off the page, for the first time I’ll get the feel of the festival from the inside and out.

In the nicest and least gross possible way.

“Not only am I dashing around watching great shows, I’ve actually been booked to appear in a couple too” I’m really looking forward to it actually. Apart from the week of sleep we’ll all need as June hits us and the festival disperses, this is going to be the best and most quality crammed month of new jewels and established treasures there’s been for quite some time. Meeting new performers, the street acts spilling over from coffee shops and bars onto the seafront, variety and new styles waiting to be gotcha’d – last year’s was the brilliant comic mime of Gamarjobat, back again with a new show at Komedia. Can’t wait to see that. Who knows where this years’ bolt-from-the-blue genius will come from.

Plus, I’m performing in it! I know I said that before, but it’s still quite freaky knowledge considering that this time last year the last performing I’d done had been at school with a band behind me, more years ago than I’d care to mention. Or let anyone else mention. Now it’s just me, the mic and hopefully a few laughs – at or with me, I’m not bothered so long as you laugh. And I’m playing in a late show. All drunken heckling and trembling knees with thoughts of the next day’s work long gone as soon as I get off stage and neck that post-gig pint... With a sandwich, as my pragmatic colleague pointed out.

So, on your marks, get set... and get ready to dive into festival fever.

It’ll spill over into your world as soon as look at you, so you may as well embrace it. Either that or go away on holiday yourself for a month. It’d be a shame though. How often do you get the chance to see the best of what’s out there right at your doorstep? Exactly.

Marc the vet Paul O’Grady Show’s Marc Abraham says make a frog a friend and create a pond

Spring is most definitely in the air – and in the water too! Amphibians are jumping at the chance to get hot under the collar with their cold-blooded mates, but it’s not always plain sailing.

As the weather warms up, and after a particularly wet and mild winter, ponds and even puddles are becoming hives of activity as frogs, toads and newts congregate to produce spawn – their next generation.

Photo: Paul Stevens

013_LS319_stand-up/vets

“Ponds and puddles are becoming hives of activity as frogs, toads and newts congregate” Many nature-filled childhoods (mine included) are punctuated annually with the fascination of both frogspawn and tadpoles, which seem to be produced in incredible quantities. But after birds, fish, and even foxes have eaten their fill, only a handful of tadpoles will make it to adulthood.

Sussex Wildlife Trust are asking you to help maximise their chances of survival by adopting one or more of these four key points to ensure a healthy, thriving population of amphibians in your garden or green space.

Why not create your own wildlife pond? More than 75 per cent of ponds were lost during the last century. The ideal pond to attract frogs, toads and newts should have a deep section (around 1m) in which they can hibernate and a larger shallow area of water (less than 20cm deep) in which the creatures can spawn.

However, don’t put fish in your pond! Goldfish in particular will quickly decimate tadpoles and frogspawn, and even tiny sticklebacks are likely to prevent newts from breeding. If you want a healthy population of amphibians, forget fish.

Only use native plant species. There are lots of suitable wetland plants you can buy at garden centres to help stock your pond. Particular favourites for breeding amphibians include water crowfoot, water starwort, water forget-me-not and water mint. Please avoid non-native species as they are unlikely to be beneficial to wildlife and, in some cases, take over ponds completely, leaving them choked-up and lifeless.

Particular species to avoid include New Zealand pygmy weed, floating pennywort and water fern.

And finally, never move spawn, tadpoles or wetland plants between ponds. You may be transferring invasive aquatic plant species, or spreading amphibian diseases such as red-leg virus, which can wipe out entire frog populations.

For information about ponds and how to care for the wild creatures that rely on them for survival, call Laura on Sussex Wildlife Trust’s information hotline, WildCall 01273 494777.

Plucking hell Some strings to write home about with Pluck – Musical Arson!

They’ve played to packed-out audiences in three continents, won four international awards, and even interviewed the President of Slovenia in a boxing ring. Really. Not bad for a bunch of classical musos.

Pluck come from classical music backgrounds, but came together in 2002 wanting to do something different with their skills. Those familiar with the piano playing skills of Les Dawson will know it takes real talent to take hold of music and make it funny, and this is what Pluck are consummate experts at. Since their inaugural concert at Ronnie Scott’s, they’ve gone on to play the Adelaide and Edinburgh Fringe festivals, winning the coveted ‘Spirit Of The Fringe Award’ and the alternative to the Perrier comedy awards, the ‘Tap Water’ awards. Last year they teamed up with comedy directing wizard Cal McCrystal (the genius behind Peepolykus and Spymonkey’s Cooped from Brighton Festival 2006).

Pluck are violinist Adrian Garratt, cellist Sian Kadifachi and violist Jon Regan (a violist being a necessity in a set up like this, being as they’re the butt of jokes in musician circles – the Skoda of the music world). They’ve got four Edinburgh Fringe Festivals under their belt, but if you think playing arts festivals is a bit safe, these guys have also played a football stadium packed with 8,000 supporters.

Attention, all the world. Priorité à Gauche, France’s supergroup, are ‘in the house’, so listen and repeat after me, OK? Priorité à Gauche are Jean-François and Didier – two French rock, rap, pop and roll stars who have wowed British audiences with their unique sound. This is a French exchange like you have never seen before. Whether rapping about the merits of British culture or getting back to their roots with just a couple of guitars, Priorité à Gauche are super-cool.

Here’s a sample of one of their hits, ‘Bonjour’: I don’t wear a string of onions when I ride my bike / We’re not always blockading, we’re not always on strike / Je n’ai pas d’accordéon je ne porte pas de béret / I wash my hair and have a bath almost every day From the success of their first album, Je Ne Suis Pas Un Numero, Je Suis Français (‘I Am Not A Number, I Am French’), a political commentary on living in contemporary France, to performing at NME’s Brat Awards, the ‘Gauche are well and truly on the UK’s radar.

Hicks’ stage-persona with all his mannerisms and motor-mouth delivery, and gives him material that fits perfectly.

A blaze of contradictions Rants and laughs with Jim Jeffries – The Second Coming Jim Jeffries is many things – he’s worked as a presenter for a porn TV channel and is soon to appear on the new satirical news quiz News Knight With Trevor MacDonald.

He’s been called ‘a man untouched by political correctness’ and yet he became a poster boy for free speech after the leader of the Christian Voice organisation prevented him from appearing on the BBC’s Heaven & Earth Show. Despite his aggressive stage persona, he’s quietly spoken in real life and when challenged in the heat of one of his on-stage rants, the man is the first to admit when he’s being (in his words) ‘a bit of a prick’.

Jeffries has been earning rave reviews for his show The Second Coming, which tackles the subjects other comedians dare not touch. It’s a rare thing to see a comic who has no taboos, moving from sex, drugs and disability into misplaced patriotism, terrorism, and that latest big nono, religion. Let’s face it, any comic who annoys Christian Voice (who branded Jeffries ‘sick and repellent’) is definitely worth checking out.

Double trouble Greedy and The Pros From Dover in a comedy double bill Take two sketch shows into the shower?

Yes, I will thank you. While not wanting to draw your attention to the prudent, purseclenching value-for-money-ness of this double bill, after all this isn’t the comedy equivalent of Poundstretcher we’re talking about here, this is an excellent opportunity to see the best of these two fine comedy sketch groups.

The Pros From Dover are Phil Whelans, Neil Cole and Richard Glover, who between them have ratcheted up appearances on Brasseye, Saturday Night Live, The Jack Doherty Show and BBC1’s Stand Up Show. Their writing credits are equally impressive (Joan Rivers, 2DTV and The 11 O’Clock Show) and Phil Whelans is the director behind last year’s Perrier Comedy Award-winning show, Phil Nichol’s The Naked Racist. Together they have created a sort of comedy supergroup, known for their punchy sketches. Their monthly residency at London’s Albany venue is a draw for some of the UK’s top comedy

Meet the Johnsons Years of hard work have finally paid off with a TV series but you can catch The Ornate Johnsons’ live show at the UdderBELLY When asked how he would describe sketch group The Ornate Johnsons, lead writer and head honcho Brian Mitchell replies in one word:“Old.” Founder member Dave Mounfield clarifies this: “We’ve been doing it for years. We started back in 1992 – when we were at Sussex University. Sketch comedy was deeply unfashionable back then – everything was stand up. I suppose we’re like a pop group who just keep plugging away in the hope that one day there’d be a seismic shift in taste – comedy’s Pulp, if you will.”

That shift eventually occurred last May when The Johnsons, who have been compared to Not The Nine O’Clock News and The Two Ronnies, managed to completely sell out London’s prestigious Soho Theatre, garnering rave reviews and celebrity fans in the process. They also scooped this very magazine’s award for best comedy in the Brighton Festival, pipping favourites Spy Monkey and Count Arthur Strong at the post.

“It’s weird,” agrees Laurence Relton.

“Basically, we’ve been going for 15 years, on and off – so it’s strange to suddenly have success like this.”

Two years ago, Laurence was a corporate lawyer at a London firm , until he decided to throw it all in for a life of greasepaint and laughter.

“I was sitting in the dentist’s chair, and I suddenly realised having my teeth pulled was preferable to my job,” says Laurence, “so I just resigned and thought, well, I might as well do something I enjoy. You only get one life after all.”

Unlike Laurence, the rest of the OJs are seasoned performers – Brian has worked on BBC TV’s Live And Kicking, and has written for both Basil Brush and Jerry Sadowitz; Dave has also worked for Sadowitz, as well as Count Arthur Strong; Glen Richardson has enjoyed a long career as a musical parodist and songwriter, appearing on Radio 4’s The Day The Music Died; while Clea Smith has won many awards and plaudits for her stage roles.

But what makes the Johnsons stand out from other sketch groups?

“We’re about fun, really,” says Clea. “Too many sketch shows these days seem to be just people sitting in offices or pubs talking, but we

Greedy

talent who often pitch up for cameo performances. They’re destined for big things, so catch them while you can.

Greedy, a group whose surreal imagination invites comparisons with Big Train, are pretty much the perfect comedy sketch group. Well-written sketches? Check. Great punchlines? Check. Face-bending, rubberlimbed physical comedy? Check. Utter nonsense, joyful silliness and guaranteed laughs? Check. You get the picture. If you want to see an Elizabethan-style dance off, a politically incorrect disembodied head and the truth behind Boudicca’s rousing launch into battle (and who wouldn’t?) then get along to the UdderBELLY. UdderBELLY, Old Steine, 15 May, 7pm, £10/£8 Ticket office 01273 709 709 or see www.udderbelly.co.uk

like to do big performances, and use visual gags and song and dance numbers. At one point in the show we even do a five minute opera based on Only Fools And Horses.”

Glen agrees: “I think comedy takes itself far too seriously these days – everyone’s trying to be like Larry David and do these subtle semiimprovised character pieces that are meant to reflect real life – but we’re not like that. My own big number in the show is ‘Soft Rock News’ – a news report done as a Jim Steinman/Meat Loaf song – that doesn’t reflect anyone’s life. And it’s all the better for it.”

So successful have the ’Johnsons been of late that they have their own half-hour show on BBC4, going out on 15 May, as part of the channel’s Edwardian season – a broadly humourous take on life in the original ‘noughties’. The show co-stars Perrier nominee and long time OJs collaborator Joanna Neary.

They are also presently touring the country.

So why are they called The Ornate Johnsons?

“The answer to this is long, but unfortunately not very interesting,” says Brian. “Years ago my writing partner Joseph and I wrote a Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman-esque play called How To Get Lucky. In the play, a character called Ornate Johnson is alluded to (we thought this an apposite moniker for an American presidential candidate of the 1920s) and, looking for a name for the group, we chose this pretty much at random. We are not ornate. Of course, in the US, ‘johnson’ means ‘penis’, so we are very unlikely to break the States.”

And what, I ask Brian, distinguishes the ’Johnsons from the myriad other sketch groups floating around?

“None of us went to Oxbridge and we have a combined age of 183. We really are very old.”

BRIGHTON FESTIVAL

Get festive Five, four, three, two, one… it’s Brighton Festival time and the fun starts here with a word from festival chief executive Nick Dodds and festival producer Jane McMorrow

Nick Dodds

Jane McMorrow

Chief executive

Festival producer

“Brighton Festival’s mission is to be a pioneer of creative performance and to make the city a truly national cultural hub.

This year, Jane McMorrow and the festival team have really broken fresh ground in presenting performances in new ways and attracting artists and audiences to our wonderful city. Not content with our great concert halls, opera houses and theatres we are presenting shows in a police cell, a hotel carpark and outside the railway station! And just so us residents don’t keep all the fun to ourselves we have signed a new national media partnership with The Guardian and asked Southern Railway to organise a new Festival Night Train to whizz our London friends back to the capital after the show.

“My top tips for this year? Les Ballets C. de la B.’s brilliant dancers/acrobats performing to sublime baroque music from a live string quartet in the Corn Exchange. Czech National Symphony Orchestra conducted by the great Libor Pesek with our own Brighton Festival Chorus and young violin prodigy Chloe Hanslip performing, give an extraordinarily special programme in the Concert Hall. The Macedonian gypsy wedding band, Kocani Orkestar, paired with A Hawk And A Hacksaw et al, will be the gig of the festival – be there and you can bore your friends all year by telling them what they missed!”

“You want to know the real secret behind why Brighton Festival carries on getting better? We’d love to pretend it’s all down to us – that we’re a brilliant, risk-taking production team, who choose art that’s at the cutting edge. The truth is, you can only put on art when it has an audience.

The reason why the festival has grown at such a rate – both in quality and in the size of the crowds that flock to it – is largely down to the type of people who live in Brighton and Hove.

The thing about Brighton’s audiences is that they’re like nowhere else.

People here like to be challenged; they love to see work that is out of the ordinary. When we’re programming new work we need to know we can take risks. And the glorious thing about Brighton is that we can.

“Don’t believe it when you hear that everything is sold out. There are still lots of shows you can get tickets for and join in the fun. Like Futurology – A Global Review, which opened to great acclaim last week in Glasgow. The Scotsman said: ‘A show full of good things… haunting dance, rowdy song, raunchy show tunes, ventriloquism, stand-up comedy and political satire… no serious fan of 21st-century theatre should miss it.’ Brighton Festival is co-commissioning it – because it’s the kind of risk you let us take.”

BRIGHTON FESTIVAL

Maid in Brighton Andrew Kay talks to Neil Bartlett about his forthcoming production of Jean Genet’s The Maids during the Brighton Festival

Do you live in Brighton?

Yes we have been in Brighton for some time now, nearly 13 years.

Is this your first Brighton production?

Some of my work has toured here, to the Theatre Royal Brighton. Gloria, a company I formed in the 80s, performed at St Barnabas and the Royal Pavilion music room. But this is my first Brighton-based production. It’s site-specific – we are performing it at the Old Ship Hotel.

I’m currently directing for the Royal Shakespeare Company in the main house at Stratford and, at the same time, putting on this crazy show for a tiny audience in Brighton and i’ve got my new novel just out. I am happy not to be in a box, but it does get confusing.

Do you do things for you or for the public?

People can be surprised by what I do.

Is this your first site-specific work?

No! I am old enough to be almost part of the first wave. I did it back in 1978, in car parks, on the street with Simon McBurney of Theatre de Complicité, in derelict warehouses, in Trafalgar Square…

“The Brighton Festival has a very diverse audience and that excites me”

After years at the forefront of what might be called alternative theatre you ended up running The Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith.

Was that a big change?

We did turn it round, and it was a big change.

No one was more surprised than me that I would end up doing that job. It was a major change from what I did before – I never thought I would be invited to run a major theatre. I never saw it as my job to do legitimate or straight work. I’m one of a group of people that worked to erode that distinction erroneously called ’the establishment’ and ‘the fringe’ in the 80s and 90s. I am part of a generation that moves between the two.

Did you do administrative work at the Lyric?

Yes and no. I created the Lyric as an institution with a close colleague called Simon Mellor who I have known since 1981 and I am still working with him. He was the man who did the nuts and bolts and I was the public face.

But all of the ideas we share, it is a symbiotic relationship. So no nuts and bolts are party to every decision: staffing, ticket pricing, the public image of the building are all as important as what happens when the curtain goes up. I am most concerned with who I work with and with who sees my work.

Is that the premise that you have used for The Maids?

The Brighton Festival has a very diverse audience and that excites me. The Genet Estate doesn’t often give permission for a new translation and I had permission. I thought I will only get to direct this once myself so I want to do it with a very special group of performers – Kathryn Hunter, Hayley Carmichael and Geraldine Alexander and, by good fortune, all happen to be free for Brighton Festival, which is extraordinary good luck.

There was a moment when filming the latest Harry Potter movie looked likely to spoil our plans as Kathryn is in it, but that is now not a problem.

Which came first: the permission to translate or the commission from the festival?

The permission to translate, but festival producer Jane McMorrow has been bugging me for years to make something especially for the festival. I took it to her and said I thought it was the right idea and asked if we could find the right space. That took a long time and we almost cancelled because we couldn’t find that right space. Then, at the last minute, the Old Ship Hotel came on board. It is an amazing building and the room we are performing in is on the next floor to the corridor where all the hotel maids live – it is a bizarrely close relationship. As we work, some of the hotel maids will be about. We move into the hotel a week before the production opens.

BRIGHTON FESTIVAL

Is this your first Genet play?

No, I did Splendids at the Lyric, the English language premiere. The play was found in a safe after Genet’s death and had been written in the early 50s, then lost. Edmund White asked me if I knew about it, and I asked the estate if I could translate it. Julian Clary was in it, looking very beautiful in evening dress and carrying a machine gun – a very good look for Julian.

Your production of Oliver Twist was very true to the book and very bleak…

Yes, it was Dickens and not Lionel Bart. It has just opened in Boston in the US. People love it, and it goes to New York after that. The simple trick is that in my adaptation all the words spoken were written by Dickens. The guts of Dickens are in his sentences – a terrible black energy and humour. It all comes down to language, and it’s the same with Genet, the extraordinary way that people talk. When The Maids originally opened at a fashionable Paris theatre, a rather grand lady in the audience went up to Genet afterwards and said, “Monsieur Genet, I have maids myself and they do not talk like that!” He said, “No, but if I were a maid, that is how I would talk.” There is a very particular way he talks, a particular poetry.

Are his words hard to translate even though you’re fluent in French?

I wouldn’t say I’m fluent, but my work translating classic French theatre is a good discipline. Genet is florid, but he is flinty and

really means what he says. It’s a real bugger and it’s very hard. He loves to use puns and and inappropriate juxtapositions of words, taking a glamorous word and throwing it against a word from the gutter. As translator you have to get all those shifts of language.

One character says, “The hem of my robe is bejewelled with tears, now re-arrange it you slut.” His language takes leaps from one world to another and you have to get that and find performers that can handle the shift. Kathryn can do that, she is an extraordinary performer, a lead actress with Theatre de Complicité. I have worked with her before.

“There will be just over 100 seats, with the audience very close to the actors – if you don’t tuck your feet in, the cast will trip up” Will this production be very intimate then?

Yes, very intimate.There will be just over 100 seats, with the audience very close to the actors – if you don’t tuck your feet in, the cast will trip up. It’s a play that should be an intimate encounter. The atmosphere is very highly charged and claustrophobic.

Call 01273 709709 to book tickets or visit www.brightonfestival.org

Do you avoid watching other versions, such as the film adaptation?

I never have seen the film and I am too far into my own thoughts but I might watch it later. I’m trying to get a sense of the time he wrote it – 1946/47 in Paris, after the devastation of occupation. Genet was involved with the resistance, and was controversially on the rooftops at the fall of Paris. Then in 1947, Dior launches its new look and Paris is once again the capital of glamour, and Genet was in touch with that world too. The characters talk about Chanel-designed couture dresses. That is the world that I have used to fuel my imagination.

Are there plans to tour the play after Brighton?

No, but we would love to do it again, although I’m not sure that we will ever all manage to get this fantastic company together again. They are all on board for this one very special event.

Any plans to film the production?

No. My focus is always on the relationship between the live performer and a live audience. I direct operas and plays, I translate classical French drama and I write novels. What do you want – blood?

The Maids, Old Ship Hotel, Friday 11–Saturday 26 May (except Mon 14 and 21 May) 9.15pm, £15 (post show talk on Thursday 24 May, free to ticket holders).

A-to-glee 26 Letters continues its celebration of writing for kids 26 Letters is a growing four-day mini festival within the Brighton Festival. It is a chance to explore the world of children’s writing with some of today’s top exponents of the art.

From toddlers to teens, the entire spectrum of youth fiction and non-fiction is covered: fantasy, adventure, science fiction, humour – you name it, 26 Letters has it.

There’s quizzes, talks, workshops and readings, and even a talk by Ann Cassidy for adults who want to write for children.

Don’t miss some of the country’s top writers and their famous characters (Angelina Ballerina, Bare Bear), and excellent artists who co-write some of the best books, like local artist/political cartoonist and now awardwinning children’s illustrator Chris Riddell.

One of this year’s hot tickets will inevitably be TV star Harry Hill who has written Tim, The Tiny Horse about Tim, a horse who lives in a matchbox with a Tic Tac box as a conservatory and a mildly odd obsession with Anna Ford.

For adults there is an illustrators’ evening at which the comic book genre, graphic novels and manga will be discussed. Putting the record straight will be David Lloyd who created the imagery for V For Vendetta with Alan Moore.

A great opportunity to find out what it is, why your teenagers love it and perhaps even how to do it yourself.

Books for children are an exciting, innovative and valuable art form and this exciting festival celebrates this fact by involving both children and adults in how they are created.

26 Letters features a range of events and runs Thu 17–Sun 20 May. For full details see the festival brochure or www.brightonfestival.org.uk, or call 01273 709709

Lashings of fun Family enjoyment as The Famous Five come to Hove Generation after generation of British children has grown up enjoying the idyllic world of Enid Blyton and her characters. I for one was obsessed by the Secret Seven, The Rat-a-Tat Mystery, and Noddy when I was very young, and of course the Famous Five with Julian, Dick, Anne, George, and of course, Timmy the dog.

Then years later the entire genre was lovingly recreated and gently parodied by The Comic Strip in their immortal TV spoof Five Go Mad In Dorset where the line “lashings of ginger beer” became a catchphrase for all things Blyton, even if Enid never actually penned those exact words herself.

Friends with children tell me that Enid Blyton is as big as ever, rebranded of course with new covers, art and a modern look, and I am delighted to hear that she is still as popular today, as I know it fired my imagination and love of books as a child.

I am equally delighted to see that Five are going mad in St Ann’s Well Gardens with a Famous Five family day – Five Go Mad In St Ann’s Well Gardens. Hidden across the park are five specially commissioned artworks by artists, sculptors and performers from across the country, each of which will provide a cryptic clue to a classic children’s book title.

The Famous Five themselves will also be on hand (courtesy of Incisor Theatre Company) to help you and your family along and there will be madcap musical entertainment supplied by the Cosmic Sausages.

And add to all this the fact the entire event is absolutely free – all you have to do is turn up with the kids, a picnic, and of course lashings of ginger beer!

Five Go Mad In St Ann’s Well Gardens is at St Ann’s Well Gardens, Sun 20 May, 2pm–5pm, free. Call 01273 709709 or see www.brightonfestival.org.uk

BRIGHTON FESTIVAL

Street wise Each year the streets of Brighton are invaded by Streets Of Brighton, a celebration of the weird and wild, beautiful, bizarre, sensational and sometimes downright silly…

There’s no point trying to define Streets Of Brighton, it is almost undefinable. It is a gathering of artists, performers, acrobats, mimes, singers, dancers, comedians and plain old exhibitionists who, for two days (and this year an extra evening), will take to the street to enthrall us all.

Street entertainment has always been a part of British culture, despite our native reserve and local bye laws. From Punch And Judy and street cryers to modern day buskers and mimes. Streets Of Brighton is the perfect opportunity to see the very best of the form, in the unique atmosphere of Brighton city centre, arguably the most relaxed and tolerant city in Europe.

This year, brace yourself for encounters with the Cuddly Fluffkins, jaw-dropping choreography from Motionhouse, scurvy squidsucking pirates and a double headed kipper, slapstick, giant prawns, fantasy creatures from Spain, comedy from France, yes France, and a Swiss box, yes you read that right.

This year the format is slightly different with fewer companies but a higher calibre and it’s all scheduled in a structured way that it is hoped will mean more people will be able to see the entire programme. It might all seem very silly, and some of it certainly is, but don’t you just love it?

City centre, Pavilion Gardens and North Laine, Thursday 10 (evening), then Friday 11 and Saturday 12 May, 1.305.30pm, free

Thereby hangs a tale Family fun worth borrowing a family to see Them With Tails is all about spinning tales – and wearing them! Two chaps take to the stage (and yes they are wearing tails) to perform three very unlikely yarns, plus one act of preposterous, onthe-spot storytelling. It all adds up to uproarious and hilarious entertainment for the whole family.

The show was a sell-out success at last year‘s Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it gained brilliant press reviews, and they are now ready to take Brighton by storm. They promise a unique show where your unlikely and ridiculous suggestions can spring suddenly to life.

It’s improvisation (but with added tails) in which the Tall Stories and Network Of Stuff companies bring you a ‘masterclass of classic Tomfoolery’. The show features brand new stories, specially written and part-commissioned by The Brighton Festival.

The word is: bring the kids. If you don’t have any, borrow some. But whatever it takes, do not miss out on this unforgettable bout of simply divine silliness.

BRIGHTON FESTIVAL a bit Penguin Café Orchestra, a bit classical, a bit folky, and a bit weird! I think that this is going to be one of the more eclectic performances of my lunchtime programme.

Gill: Is it quite gentle music then?

Guy: It’s very gentle music. If you want a wild card, I would recommend coming to this show.

Tue 8 May

Martin Helmchen

Neil Cowley Trio

If music be…

Gill: I first heard them sing together during their first season as principals at the English National Opera. What really struck me about these two was how compatible their voices were. It is often difficult to find really well matched soprano and mezzo singers. Their voices just seem to fit so well when they sing duets it’s a really special feeling. It’s been quite a few years since we’ve featured two female singers during the lunchtime series, so it should be a really special performance.

Guy: And will they be singing opera arias or will they be doing other songs too?

Gill: A real mixture: some solo songs and one or two arias from the operas.

Wed 9 May

Misja Fitzgerald-Michel Gill: A jazz guitarist. Tell me more…

Guy: I saw Misja at a festival in Dijon and found it quite surprising that solo guitar could be so engaging for a whole hour, but he’s like a firework going off! He really captivates his audience and when you read who he’s been involved with it’s quite impressive – the French jazz scene, which is fantastic, as well as the New York jazz scene. And he’s played with some of the really great musicians from George Russell to Ravi Coltrane, John Coltrane’s son, and all sorts of people. I’ve never seen anybody play a jazz 12-string guitar before, but it’s incredible.

Gill: Where it says here in the brochure he “learned his significant chops with an impressive array of mentors”, what does that mean?

Guy: Jazz chops are all about changing time signatures very quickly, and so he’s very impressive at the old chops! He’s obviously learnt with some fairly significant people, such as the French bass player Michel Portal, and these influences really come through.

Thu 17 May

Ensemble na Mara Gill: I first saw this group play in the Royal Overseas League competition and what really impressed me was the approach to their performance. During these competitions the performers are often so nervous that they don’t seem to enjoy themselves, but they just had 22 latest 7

Robert Mitchell and Omar Puente

so much fun, they were clearly really enjoying both the music and the performance.

Guy: And they play traditional Celtic music too, Scottish reels and things like that?

Gill: Yes they do. Scottish reels or Strauss: it seems to give them the same pleasure. The other thing is that the Strauss Piano Quartet is quite hard for young players and I’ve never heard anyone play it live. It’s so rarely played and it’s a lovely piece. So, to have that and the Sibelius, which is a difficult one too, is great.

Mon 14 May

Guy: Years ago I put on Wayne Shorter, with Robert Mitchell as support. At the interval I had the ‘jazz police’ wanting to knock my block off, but after talking to Wayne and reading The Guardian reviews they were absolutely blown away by Robert. He’s an astounding player, he has a really unique and very unusual sense of timing and the music that he’s doing with Omar Puente, the Cuban violin player, is sublime. It travels everywhere from Latin to jazz – even classical influences.

Gill: Does Cuban violin use the same sort of tonal structure?

Guy: It is subtlety different, but the biggest difference is the timing. It’s about playing well before the beat and really bending stuff round to get that real latin swing effect.

Sat 19 May

Kris Drever

Royal String Quartet

Guy: So to another Scottish performer. The folk singer-songwriter thing has really picked up in the UK, and since it has come back in vogue it has opened up a much broader audience. Drever is one of those people that’s popular to the new converts, but comes from a very traditional background. His father was one of the founders of Wolfstone, one of the big Scottish folk bands, and he’s simply a great singer-songwriter. It’s going to be a really good thing to see within the lunchtime series.

Fri 11 May

Gill: The most amazing thing about this quartet is how they interact with each other during a performance – they have to know each part of a piece as intimately as their own and anticipate every single note whether they play it or not.

Once a string quartet has been together for a while, the music they play moves on to a new level. To have such a high standard quartet in the lunchtime series (because normally the lunchtimes are all about emerging or new artists) is a rarity not to be missed.

Guy: So what will they be playing?

Gill: Haydn and Beethoven, but what’s exceptional about this performance is the standard at which these pieces will be played.

Wed, 23 May

It clearly is a passion for Gill Kay and Guy Morley as they discuss their highlights of the lunchtime concerts at the Pavilion Theatre Sarah Tynan & Stephanie Marshall

Gill: Martin is one of those young instrumentalists that has all the technique, but he’s also a real character and his personality shines through in his performance. It doesn’t interfere with what he’s doing but you get a sense of ‘this is what I’m going to do, this is what I’m going to be‘. He’s giving a very mixed programme; standard stuff like Beethoven and Schubert, but also Messiaen, which is unusual for the lunchtimes as it’s challenging music. But he plays it fantastically well so don’t be put off!

Fri 18 May

Brighton Festival Youth Choir Gill: We’ve nurtured this choir from the start.

They were formed because there wasn’t really a youth choir in the town that was singing at a really, really high standard. It was started by, and still run by, the music director, Juliet Poachin, a singer herself and partner of James who runs the main Brighton Festival Choir.

Guy: Will they be singing classical repertoire?

Gill: They’re doing a really mixed programme, everything from early Purcell to Britten and a couple of encores that are real lollipops.

Mon 7 May

Ted Barnes Guy: Ted Barnes got into the programme via a really unusual route. One of our original deals fell through just as we were going to press with the brochure, and I had to find something really quickly. Anyway, this CD had been sat on the edge of my desk and I thought I’ll just try this then! I didn’t know who he was, and it’s beautiful music, quirky, odd, slightly electronic,

Neil Cowley Trio Guy: Neil comes from the commercial side of jazz and funk, and has been in really big bands, including the Brand New Heavies. He’s a very accomplished musician, one of the leading British jazz pianists along with, I think, Robert Mitchell. So this is an ideal opportunity to see someone who can really get to grips with some fairly complicated stuff that is based in that fantastic period in jazz.

Gill: If you are a newcomer to jazz piano, is he a good one to start you off?

Guy: Absolutely!

Tue, 22 May These events are all for the Lunchtime Concerts programme at Pavilion Theatre, Brighton Dome, 1pm, £7.50. Call 01273 709709 or see the Festival brochure or www.brightonfestival.org

BRIGHTON FESTIVAL

Brought to book Liam Browne on the making of Brighton Festival’s literature programme I began working as a literature programmer almost by accident. In the 1990s I worked on a general year-long arts festival in my home town of Derry in Northern Ireland. I noticed that while most art forms seemed well covered there were no book events at all. So I offered to programme some and that’s how I started. From there it became a career, working on festivals or, for a few years, at the South Bank Centre in London where they run live literature events across the year. Now I’m freelance and as well as the Brighton Festival I also programme the Dublin Writers’ Festival.

The whole process of programming is not unlike painting the Forth bridge – no sooner have you finished than you start again. Once the festival’s over you almost immediately begin to think about the following year. For some of the major international writers, if you’re trying to bring them specially to your festival, you need to be inviting them a good year ahead. There are so many festivals now, so many invitations for the big names to consider. You have to find some angle, something distinct, that will persuade them to come to Brighton.

“The Victoria Wood ‘in conversation’, for instance, arose from the fact that she has used the Mass Observation archive at the University of Sussex” Festivals get reputations and words filter through the writing/publishing world as to which festivals writers should be encouraged to attend – or should be discouraged from attending.

Publishers have so much power, often they are the first point of contact between a festival and a writer. Their previous experience of that festival and of how their writers have been treated is crucial. It’s not just the hour or the hour and a half on stage that matters, it’s the travel arrangements to and from the festival, it’s the smoothness and professionalism with which the venue is run, it’s the hotel, the hospitality, all these things come into it. If you’re blessed with holding a festival in an interesting city or town, you’re off to a great start. And writers and artists like coming to Brighton.

Overall the balance of the programme needs to be right; between programming the writers you personally admire alongside those that the audience want to see, between the popular writers and speakers who will sell out and those you think are interesting but may not draw a big crowd, between writers who are at the festival to promote new books and writers coming to Brighton for one-off special events.

There should always be some events in the programme that take their inspiration from some local connection with Brighton and Hove or with Sussex. The Victoria Wood ‘in conversation’, for instance, arose from the fact that she has used the Mass Observation archive at the University of Sussex to research her characters. So immediately the event has a local flavour and offers the audience an awareness of the archive and its value, which they might not otherwise have gained.

Similarly with The City Reads event, which this year is focusing on Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca.

Usually a literature event is simply a one-off but in the case of The City Reads it’s the culmination of a whole series of events that have been happening in Brighton and Hove from March onwards. For the two months between March and May, locals are encouraged to read Rebecca and there’s a range of events taking place which focus on the book. It means that, come the festival, the audience attending The City Reads event have almost all read the book and are enthused by it. It makes for a great interaction between the panel of writers and that audience.

City Reads is Sponsored by Hotel Du Vin and Bistro

Liam’s must-see events Bernard-Henri Lévy A programmer’s dream really; larger than life, he’s full of opinions and keen to express them. He seems to thrive on being controversial and is not too concerned if he offends people.

His take on contemporary America will be fascinating, following the road-trip he made (which is described in American Vertigo), and all the better, in some ways, for being a response to the United States that doesn’t come from the usual Anglo-American axis.

Corn Exchange, Brighton Dome, Thu 24 May, 7.30pm, £7.50.

Bernard-Henri Levy is Supported by The Open University Dave Eggers and Valentino Achak Deng I have never actually heard Dave Eggers read from and talk about his work but am told that he is wonderfully charismatic on stage.

A new Eggers book is always an event but what makes this one so unusual is that you have the actual inspiration and hero of the book, Valentino Achak Deng, participating in the event also. Eggers has written a fiction about a real-life figure, so how faithful has he been in the journey from fact to fiction.

Corn Exchange, Brighton Dome, Sat 26 May, 7pm, £7.50.

On the Shelf – A Modern Love Affair with Libraries Commissioning writers to produce something on a given theme is one of the best parts of the job, finding the right theme and the right group of writers. In this instance, Lionel Shriver, Rupert Thomson and Sasha Dugdale will talk about the relationship they, as writers, have with libraries. So many writers are dependent on libraries for research, be it the British Library or their local one. Or it may have played an important part in their decision to become a writer in the first place.

Almost always, with commissions, you don’t know until the night what take a writer will have on a given theme.

Jubilee Library, Sat 19 May, 7.30pm, £7.50.

Tony Harrison Compared to previous decades there seems much less political passion infusing literature and the arts generally today. Whether that comes from cynicism, defeatism or whatever, I don’t know but Tony Harrison is someone who has always engaged with the politics of the day in an extraordinary way. He has made documentaries on subjects such as Hirorshima and the fatwa on Salman Rushdie and went to Bosnia during the war as a reporter for The Guardian where he wrote a response in poetry to what he saw. He has been unwavering in his conviction that a writer must respond to what is going on around him in daily life or what he sees elsewhere in the world. That sort of conviction is rare today.

BRIGHTON FESTIVAL

On the money Each year Brighton Festival is made possible by the kind support of its many sponsors, companies and individuals who, through their generosity, help make so many events happen. We hear from a selection of 2007’s sponsors about why they like to get involved and what events they are looking forward to

Paul Reed, brand and communications manager, Southern

Michael Beard, group editor, Newsquest (Sussex) Ltd

This year, Southern is delighted to be associated with Brighton Festival on a number of fronts. We have entered into a three-year partnership with the festival organisers which enables us to give our full support to this worldclass event. We will be providing a special late-night train from Brighton to London which will allow people to leave the festival later than usual, arriving in London just after midnight.

We are also pleased to be cosponsors of what promises to be a truly outstanding performance by the highly acclaimed French company KompleXKapharnaüM, with their bold, innovative and imaginative show PlayRec. Huge video projections, music and live performances will be played out using Brighton’s New England Development (formerly the station car park, site of the city’s famous locomotive works and Isetta bubble car factory) as an atmospheric backdrop. Described as “an audiovisual adventure”, this performance is one that shouldn’t be missed.

We’re sure it will be an enjoyable festival for everyone who visits, and we look forward to bringing people from far and wide.

I am particularly looking forward to seeing the world premiere of Laurence Olivier’s Henry V at the Dome Concert Hall on 21 May. It should be fascinating to see the combination of a digitally remastered classic film and one of the world’s greatest orchestras. As the programme says this will be movie history in the making.

A huge amount of work has gone into this, using the very latest technology. Combined with more than 200 musicians it really promises to be a highlight of the festival and one that will be remembered for some time.

I have also been drawn to Gordon Brown: The Man Behind The Politics at the Dome Concert Hall on 13 May. Coming just days after the local elections, it is an understatement to say it will be interesting to see and hear what the Chancellor and possible future Prime Minister has to say. In what has been described as a “frank and wide-ranging interview”, he will discuss subjects ranging from his own life and motivations to his vision of politics. How much will he reveal? We will have to wait and see.

Ali Giles, marketing, Wall’s Ice Cream, Unilever UK

Jonathan Ericson, managing partner, Baker Tilly Sussex

At this year’s Festival, I am most looking forward to taking a friend of mine to see Les Ballets C. de la B.’s Import/Export at the Corn Exchange. She is a huge ballet fan and I thought it would be a great idea to broaden her mindset as far as dance goes and explore something a bit different.

I am taking my mother to Afternoon Tea With Joan Bakewell. We are going to enjoy the sights and sounds of Brighton and the street acts around the festival venues before sitting down to a five-star afternoon tea and chat with such an iconic journalist.

My must-see pick of the 2007 festival has to be the UK premiere of La Traviata.

As one of today’s most popular operas, it is being performed this year as an intimate chamber production in the Royal Pavilion. Tickets sold out within minutes of them being available, making this one of the events of the fortnight. With just a string trio and piano as accompanying music, Verdi’s La Traviata promises to be a moving and dramatic performance.

My second pick is c90, the award-winning tale of “quiet lives and small kindnesses”. Originally performed at last year’s Edinburgh Festival, this one-man show about memory and hope will undoubtedly captivate the audience’s imagination.

BRIGHTON FESTIVAL

Colin Paterson, head of marketing and sales, First Capital Connect

Pippa Grey, relationship manager, Lloyds TSB Commercial, Brighton and Hove

From being firstly intrigued by Reeves & Mortimer’s Big Night Out to finding Shooting Stars (including the excellent Matt Lucas as George Dawes) terrifically entertaining, I have always admired Vic Reeves aka Jim Moir and his sharp wit and wacky, almost slapstick sense of humour. I can think of few more entertaining and amusing ways of spending some time than hearing him read from his penetrating, insightful and no doubt hilarious memoirs of his childhood – Me: Moir.

With the whole rich spectrum of music, theatre, dance and comedy to choose from at Brighton Festival, the more cultured visitor may be horrified that I’m looking forward to the Children’s Parade. But as a dad of four young boys, the fun, family atmosphere of the Children’s Parade on Saturday 5 May has a natural appeal for me. With a fantastic carnival atmosphere, and the bright-eyed excitement of thousands of young participants, it’s bound to draw proud mums, dads, grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings and more.

Let the festival begin!

As a newcomer to Brighton Festival, what has excited me most about the programme is the terrific variety of events on offer. My two choices reflect this spectrum with two rather different favourites.

Lloyds TSB are taking 80 guests to New Latin Spirit starring Roberto Fonseca and Marta Topferova, so our enthusiasm for this event is self-evident. The evening is set to be a really uplifting, fun and funky event.

The screening of Liberace Of Baghdad looks to me to be an intriguing and unusual take on this troubling situation. The opportunity to be involved in a round-table discussion with such knowledgeable hosts afterwards is unique.

Jo Osborn, press officer, Southern Water

Tony Horn, commercial manager, Royal Bank Of Scotland

The Maids at the Old Ship Hotel sounds really exciting. I love the idea of watching a play somewhere other than a theatre – it should be very atmospheric being in the hotel for the performance. I’m also really looking forward to Mahabharata – it is going to be stunning. There is a bit of everything involved in this production: music, dance, puppetry and magic. What more could I want?

Helen Sparkes, community programmes manager, Southern Water

The Royal Bank Of Scotland is a committed sponsor of Brighton Festival and is delighted to be involved once again with this year’s programme of exciting events. As sponsors of the Vic Reeves Me: Moir event, we plan to take along 40 guests to what promises to be a revealing and, no doubt, occasionally surreal event. I am also looking forward to The Armonico Consort’s version of Mozart’s fairytale, The Magic Flute.

I have set aside the month of May to feast on a smorgasbord of cultural delights. From the sublime to the ridiculous – Vic Reeves to Gordon Brown. I expect to experience in one month a wider variety of culture, entertainment, education and pure pleasure than many people experience in a lifetime. I can’t wait!

BRIGHTON FESTIVAL Henry V is Supported by University of Sussex and Brighton Square

Run Lola Run

Cry “God for Harry” A legendary performance by Laurence Olivier as Henry V is revitalised for this live centenary event A legend on stage and film, a classic movie and a score by a major 20th century composer. It’s a recipe made in heaven.

Except that William Walton’s score had, for years, been lost. But now, after painstaking research, Brighton Festival has recreated the film score and, using new technology developed by Granada International Media, the music soundtrack has been removed from the original film enabling this amazing event to take place.

The original project was Olivier’s own adaptation of the Shakespeare script and he not only starred in the film but also directed. Conceived at the height of the Second World War, it was a timely rallying call to raise flagging British morale. Olivier himself described Walton’s specially commissioned score as a perfect fit that had, “inner vibrance, its energy… that exuberance, that spirit, that heart-quickening feeling…”

26 latest 7

A cast of over 200, including The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, join Brighton Festival Chorus and Brighton Youth Choir to perform, for the very first time, Walton’s original score whilst audiences watch Olivier’s breathtaking performance. The 1944 film has also been digitally re-mastered so that the print screened will be of the highest possible quality.

Conductor Carl Davis, who’s no stranger to the art of conducting film scores at live screenings, and in fact a film score composer in his own right, will be wielding his baton as the armies of England and France wield their arms and do battle.

This live event is a major milestone in both music and movie history and promises to be one of the highlights of this year’s festival programme.

Laurence Olivier’s Henry V is at Brighton Dome Concert Hall, 21 May, 7.30pm, £12.50–£50. Call 01273 709709 or see www.brightonfestival.org

“Mankind: probably the most mysterious species on our planet. A mystery of open questions. Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? How do we know what we believe to know? Why do we believe anything at all? Innumerable questions looking for an answer, an answer which will raise the next question and the following answer will raise a following question and so on and so forth. But in the end, isn't it always the same question and always the same answer?”

The opening words from Tom Twyker’s 1998 film. A breathtaking no-holds-barred race against time that follows central character, Lola, as she dashes across Berlin to try and raise 100,000 Marks to save her hapless boyfriend from his gangster enemy. In stark contrast to Laurence Olivier’s Henry V – but with no less impact – this film will be screened with a new live score by The Bays in the Concert Hall, Brighton Dome.

The Bays however do not have a restored score, in fact they have no score at all. Nor do they rehearse or make records. Their entire performance will be an of-the-moment improvisation. Exhilarating music that seamlessly segues hip hop, drum and bass and ambient grooves as the film runs, totally live and without a safety net. That’s got to be seen and heard!

Run Lola Run is at Brighton Dome Concert Hall, 5 and 6 May, 8pm, £16. Call 01273 709709 or see www.brightonfestival.org

Roger Groos and Maria Eady explain the numerous benefits of purging the enema within

TUESDAY 1

Colonics have a long history.

Mentions of enema equipment in ancient Egypt, the Far East, South America and Aramaic texts dating from 200AD suggest a common folk ancestry. It is referred to in the Essene Gospel of peace which states: “the uncleanness within is greater than the uncleanness without. He who cleanses himself without, but within remains unclean, is like a tomb that outward is painted fair, but is within full of all manner of uncleannesses and abominations.”

Wipe the slate clean The major benefits of colonics may be divided into three groups. Firstly, in combating functional bowel problems such as constipation and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and some bowel diseases such as diverticulosis. Secondly, treating other conditions that accompany poor bowel function, including arthritis, eczema, hormonal conditions such as endometriosis, PMS or conditions due to increased pressure on other eliminatory organs (such as lungs, skin, kidneys and bladder). Lastly, colonics are very important in detoxing, but should be accompanied by dietary, lifestyle and spiritual measures, preferably between equinoxes.

They can also help to wipe the slate clean during major life changes.

Conditions prohibiting colonics are major heart disease, liver and kidney problems, uncontrolled hypertension, large hernias, any active inflammation of the bowel, severe anaemia and early stages of pregnancy. If in doubt, check with your therapist.

The procedure is very simple: a speculum, 1.5in long, is inserted into the anus (so no long pipes), an inlet tube allows warm filtered water in, and an outlet tube carries water and waste away. The water and gentle abdominal massage stimulates the bowel to empty. Herbs may be used to help the process and probiotics might be implanted if an imbalance is present.

Relieving symptoms The treatment is not painful and your modesty is preserved at all times.

Your therapist will make recommendations based on your case history, observation during treatment and kinesiology testing. The number of treatments depends on the condition being treated. Generally, underactive bowels (constipation) might need 4-6 treatments, whereas overactive (IBS type) might only need one or two. At least two treatments are a great help during a detox programme.

Many of colonic customers are suffering with IBS symptoms, irregular bowel movements, bloating and pain. Colonics and eliminating certain foods from the diet can be very helpful in improving this condition.

Always look for a registered therapist. The Association and Register of Colon Hydrotherapists (ARCH) is the longest-standing organisation in the UK and has been instrumental in setting training and practice standards for 20 years. See www.colonic-association.org or call 0870 241 6567 to find a therapist near you.

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD&DRINK

Snails ace Andrew Kay misses Hibiscus but finds The Bell Inn at Yarpole April the first always heralds the start of the camping season for me and my friends. Yes I know it is also all fool’s day, and yes, it can be foolish pitching canvas when temperatures can swoop to below zero in the space of a few hours. Still, we are hardy beasts and never say never. Which is how we found ourselves in a lovely site called Radnor’s End in Hay-on-Wye. Six days in Hay need careful planning. You need things to do outside the town otherwise you get book-logged. On our last visit I made a booking at Hibiscus in Ludlow, a two-Michelin-starred restaurant run by chef Claude Bosi. I reviewed it on these pages and it was a memorable meal. Well, why not go back I thought, so I Googled, got their website up and to my horror discovered that the day we planned to go was in fact their last day before moving the whole shebang to Mayfair, London.

Ludlow’s loss is the capital’s gain.

Needless to say I was disappointed, that is until I clicked on a link to The Bell Inn at Yarpole. It seems that Claude and his wife have bought a pub, installed his frère Cedric to manage it, and kept an interest locally.

Yarpole is midway between Leominster and Ludlow and within easy reach of Hay. I persuaded the team that it might be fun. My brother and his wife-to-be joined us and we set off in their Bongo – don’t ask, it’s some surfy thing.

Sponsored by Others indulged in steak topped with Welsh rarebit, and a variety of fish and meat dishes. I’m afraid that I was rather taken away by my bean and meat bonanza.

Puds were good and traditional – sticky toffee pudding making a big hit. I was wooed by a rhubarb trifle. I love rhubarb in any form, from the big, fat, dark red stalks of the main season to the pale pink, forced, early variety. This was pale and forced, perhaps a little too forced. Delicious yes but not exactly trifle as there was cream but no custard. It was a good pudding but by definition it missed the mark by a mere trifle, the lack of crème Anglaise monsieur.

What impressed us most was the quality of the cooking, the smart service and above all the prices. Once again a top-ranking chef of international repute has put his name and his money behind a pub that serves food of outstanding quality and pedigree for the same prices, or perhaps a trifle more, than your average pub grub.

It would seem to me that we are losing a grasp of the concept of expensive. I know a few heads will turn when I say that our lunch cost £30 a head plus drinks. But that was £30 for excellently-cooked, expertly and conscientiously sourced quality dining. We all had three courses and two of us shared a fourth. I have eaten food that I paid far less for than this but consider to be far more expensive. More expensive because it was not good. I would rather eat once a month in pubs like The Bell Inn, The Hind’s Head and The Griffin, than spend less more often. Let me eat well and hang the expense.

The Bell Inn, Green Lane, Yarpole, Herefordshire, 01568 780359, www.thebellinnyarpole.co.uk

Passionate about property, fanatical about food 59 Church Road, Hove 01273 735237 www.callaways.co.uk

“At Hibiscus the emphasis was on invention and innovation, here it was on tradition” The Bell Inn was picture-book pretty and as unpretentious a pub as I could have hoped for. We had a drink in the pretty gardens before going in to have lunch, tasting a variety of local beers between us. Inside I changed our table from the restaurant to the bar so that we did not have to leave our dog in the car. The weather had taken an unseasonal swoop into the 20s and it was baking hot.

At Hibiscus the emphasis was on invention and innovation, here it was on tradition. I started with a smoked haddock and leek fishcake which came in a bowl of pea broth with crushed peas. It was divine, soft in texture and taste, no saltiness at all and just the right size, not a baby portion but not too big either. Others indulged in twice-baked cheese soufflé. I snaffled a bit and have to say it was as light as a feather, not easy in a twice-baked soufflé.

I also managed to persuade the assembled to order an extra dish of snails sourced form a nearby snail farm. I love them but found only one person who actually wanted to join in with eating them. They are so pretty in their stripy golden shells and these were tender as could be, taking their final slither in a slick of garlicky butter. They came with a big green salad full of punch, with an excellent dressing too, and we all tucked into good white bread and very good butter.

For my main course I chose cassoulet. Because the kitchen’s influences are classic French I thought it worth the risk. It was a risk that paid off. I have no idea how authentic it was, nor do I care. Ask anyone to define cassoulet and it will be different form the next person’s definition. This had succulent beans, hunks of belly pork, Toulouse sausage and a sprinkling of breadcrumbs. It was unctuous and sticky.

Sevendials Restaurant

INDIAN Nooris Indian Cuisine One of Brighton’s longest-standing Indian restaurants and justifiably so. Smart service and a menu that, as well as offering all our favourite dishes, has some interesting and unusual dishes on offer.

Great central location just off the seafront.

Portions are on the very generous side so order carefully. We have always been particularly impressed by the vegetarian menu, especially the malai kupta. Excellent breads and side dishes too. £6.95 for a twocourse meal and £11.95 for a three-course meal with wine.

What’s cooking this week?

Quick Low-Carb: 60 Recipes For A Healthy Fuss-Free Diet Elaine Gardner As each of our lifestyles differ, there is no fixed weight-loss plan to suit all. A few weeks back, this column was devoted to the GL diet and now we have jumped to low-carbohydrate recipe ideas.

Before starting a low-carb eating plan, it is important to justify your reasons for doing so, and this is stressed in Elaine Gardner’s new book. Realistic targets should be set and potential barriers acknowledged. A food and feelings chart is also recommended, as keeping a log of food consumed and your feelings at the time can be extremely enlightening. Feelings of boredom and tiredness are all factors when deciding to reach for easily-accessible sugary snacks like chocolate bars. However, Quick Low-Carb offers advice to help banish this habit.

By opting for protein-rich, low-carb foods, energy levels are sustained and the carbs keep you filled for longer, meaning you feel less like snacking between meals.

It’s not an easy journey, and doesn’t pretend to be one. Instead, Gardner asks us to set achievable goals that result in a healthier lifestyle. The low-carb recipe plan goes hand-in-hand with plenty of exercise, and even though a number of foods are restricted in this eating plan, motivation and sensible eating can make lasting results beneficial to our health.

Chicken with Serrano ham Ingredients 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast portions 4 slices Serrano ham 40g/11⁄2oz/3tbsp butter 30ml/2tbsp chopped capers

30ml/2tbsp fresh thyme leaves 1 large lemon, cut lengthways into 8 slices A few small fresh thyme sprigs Salt and ground black pepper Serves 4

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6. Wrap each chicken breast in clear film (plastic wrap) and beat with a rolling pin until flattened.

Unwrap the chicken breast portions and arrange in a single layer in a large, shallow ovenproof dish. Top each piece of chicken with a slice of Serrano ham.

2. In a bowl, beat the butter with the capers, thyme and seasoning.

Divide the butter into quarters and shape neat portions, then place on each ham-topped chicken breast portion. Arrange two lemon slices on the butter and sprinkle with thyme sprigs. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

3. Transfer the chicken portions to a warmed serving platter or four plates and spoon the piquant, buttery juices over the top. Serve immediately, removing the lemon slices first, if you prefer. For a wellbalanced meal serve with a large mixed green leaf and herb salad.

Cook’s tip: This dish is just as good with other thinly-sliced cured ham, such as prosciutto, in place of the Serrano ham.

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 100,000-strong Persian army. Pure protofascism mixed in with a sweaty dollop of homoeroticism. (3/5) Showing at Worthing 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 most-wanted list. Justin Timberlake stars alongside Bruce Willis in this grimy pimped-out indulgence. (2/5) Showing at Odeon Babel (15) Dir: Alejandro González Iñárritu This hugely ambitious film sees Iñárritu complete a trilogy of sorts after the success of Amores Perros and 21 Grams. This time four different stories impact unwittingly on each other across three different continents. Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett star as a couple trying to escape their past and the always brilliant Gael García Bernal makes a small but thrilling entrance. A superb film with a refreshingly international pedigree. (4/5) Showing at Odeon 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. (4/5) Showing at Cineworld and Odeon

Casino Royale (12A) Dir: Martin Campbell Bond gets re-branded in this high octane and bullish instalment. Daniel Craig makes a devastating Bond who is not only believable in his macho swagger but also genuinely human.

This is Bond with his licence to thrill fully reinstated. (4/5) Showing at Odeon Curse Of The Golden Flower (15) Dir: Zhang Yimou 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 Odeon

know but when a film is this delightfully funny and bitter sweet who cares? (5/5) Showing at Cineworld 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 as Mr Bean’s video diaries accidentally get a gala screening at the Cannes Film Festival. Silly for sure but Rowan Atkinson has the mildly autistic Bean down to a tee. (2/5) Showing at Cineworld and Odeon Norbit (12A) Dir: Brian Robbins Eddie Murphy dons the fat suit once again in this utterly derisive tale of a geek juggling relationships and women. Rumoured to be the sole reason that Eddie Murphy failed to win Best Supporting Actor at this year’s Oscars for his role in Dreamgirls, Norbit truly does deliver wave after wave of utterly debased humour and cheesy melodrama. (1/5) Showing at Worthing 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 Alien or Outlander. Boyle regular Cillian Murphy heads an international cast that also includes Michelle Yeoh, Hiroyuki Sanada, Rose Byrne, and Chris Evans. While the effects are outstanding and the performances good the general confusion that reigns throughout serves to make the film more of a stunning mess than a true successor to James Cameron’s classic Aliens. (3/5) Showing at Odeon The Reef (U) Dir: Howard E. Baker and John Fox When a film can only boast the vocal talents of human turd Freddie Prinze Jr, and super twit Rob Schneider you know it’s going to be a hard sell. This animated kiddies flick is a cheap and tacky rip off of Shark Tale and that film was already dire. Please avoid and go and watch any Pixar production instead. As one reviewer on the internet so deftly put it this is “utter carp”. (3/5) Showing at Duke Of York’s

Fracture (15) Dir: Gregory Hoblit An early contender for worst film of the year this insipid thriller finds Anthony Hopkins as a businessman turned killer pitted in a battle of wills and intellect against the assistant DA played by the usually dependable Ryan Gosling. The script is flat as are the performances. (1/5) Showing at Cineworld and Odeon

This Is England (18) Dir: Shane Meadows Without doubt the best British film of the last few years, this follow-up to the equally excellent Dead Man’s Shoes finds director Shane Meadows hitting his stride with confidence. A partly biographical tale of Meadows’ own life growing up in the 80s, the film follows young ruffian Shaun as he struggles to deal with growing up and the loss of his father in the Falklands War. When a group of loveable skinheads take him under their wing his life picks up only for it to crash again when racism rears its ugly head. Thomas Turgoose as Shaun is terrific as is the film. This is British cinema not afraid to be authentic and classy without resorting to Richard Curtis stereotypes or melodrama. (5/5) Showing at Cineworld and Duke of York’s

Little Miss Sunshine (15) Dir: Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris This wonderful little gem of a film was the surprise hit of last year and on a second viewing it’s easy to see why. Telling the story of a family in strife as they travel across the USA in an attempt to enter their daughter into a beauty pageant this is classic road movie stuff. Alan Arkin deservedly won the Oscar for his role as the heroin-addled grandfather but it’s Abigail Breslin as the daughter Olive who steals the show as well our hearts. Cliched I

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. Ray Liotta makes a welcome addition as an irate biker but the film never quite recovers from the shock of John Travolta’s ever-increasing waistline. (2/5) Showing at Cineworld and Odeon

Spider-Man 3 (12A)

Director Sam Raimi The greatest superhero franchise is back in this third instalment. Tobey Maguire stars again as the webslinger, balancing heroic achievements with personal strife.

This time around the seeming peace and quiet of Parker’s romance with Mary Jane is upset by the arrival of an evil entity from space which takes the form of Venom. In addition, Spiderman also has to grapple with new villains Sandman and the new Green Goblin. Once again the Spidey brand succeeds where others have failed due to a tight script, genuine tension, and Raimi’s deft eye for a visual spectacle.

The Painted Veil (12A)

Dans Paris (15)

Director Christophe Honoré This gallic tale of love, loss and depression might sound like a miserable experience but the lightness of touch and ingenuity of Honoré raises it above the misery. After the deeply amoral wonder of Ma Mère this is a more vital and vibrant effort that defies traditional notions of European cinema in favour of a style more akin with newwave auteurs such as Godard and Truffaut. The sad tale of a young man who slips into depression after splitting up with his girlfriend is deftly balanced with a strong and urgent visual style.

Romain Duris as the young man battling depression gives a startling and sumptuous performance.

Showing at Duke of York’s

Next (12A)

Director Lee Tamahori Nicholas Cage returns in this implausible but enjoyable action romp.

Cage plays a Las Vegas magician, Cris Johnson, who is cursed by an ability to see minutes into the future. Hiding away from the world, Cris and his unique talents are needed when a terrorist group threatens Los Angeles.

The always dependable Julianne Moore co-stars as does the curvaceous Jessica Biel. The premise may be daft and the script occasionally trite but this is standard blockbuster fare centred around a highly implausible conceit.

Showing at Cineworld and Odeon

Director John Curran Based on the novel by W Somerset Maugham, The Painted Veil is a tale of love and redemption set in the 1920s that tells the story of a young couple – Walter (Edward Norton), a middle-class doctor and Kitty (Naomi Watts), an upper-class woman – who get hitched for the wrong reasons and relocate to Shanghai, where she falls in love with someone else. It may sound trite and indeed, at times the oh-so-irksome melodrama reeks, but the visuals and locations are stunning. Norton, usually so thrilling, tones it down in the name of sentiment while Watts delivers a suitably reserved performance. It won a Golden Globe but so did Out Of Africa and that was dull too.

And finally…

Craig Driver takes a look at the upcoming Final Cut Screenings taking place at the Brighton Festival This May sees the return of the excellent arts extravaganza that is the Brighton Festival. Nestled deep in the bosom of the festival is the annual series of film screenings hosted by Brighton’s very own short film exhibitors Final Cut. Brighton’s Final Cut is one of the UK’s most successful short-film screening groups and with over 80 films showing at different venues around the city over the next month, its sixth festival campaign is set to be the biggest ever.

Festival highlights include the opening-night gala at the Sussex Arts Club on 5 May at which Final Cut will be launching their third DVD. With a host of the best films that Final Cut have screened over the past year this kicks off with a packed programme of brand-new UK and international shorts, including several award winners and UK premieres.

The evening also includes live DJ mixes and film-themed VJ sets, as well as an open bar. On Sunday 20 May Final Cut host a US Indie Night suitably entitled East Meets West (Coast) at the Ocean Rooms. With all the grit and glamour of the New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco independent film scenes, this event promises to highlight the best short films from across the pond plus a collection of micro-docs from US video-bloggers. With a guest DJ spinning a unique East-West mix of US hits from the 1940s to the present day and free entry to the club after, you have a guaranteed Fringe night out to remember.

On Sunday 13 May, Final Cut hosts the much more locally based Spotlight South East at the Po Na Na Club. With brand-new shorts from local film-makers plus the latest ‘Trailer Trash’ previews this event shows Final Cut to be a vital supporter of Sussex film-makers. The exciting collection of top-quality films features brand-new dramas, comedies, documentaries, animation, and music videos. Finishing off the month, Final Cut host their Last Night Extravaganza on Sunday 27 May once again at the Po Na Na Club. This last-night event promises an unpredictable mix of live performances, great films, ultra-shorts, left-field music videos and unclassifiable weird stuff, alongside film-themed VJ-DJ sets. In addition, the internationally renowned Paris-based Qwartz Music Festival have given Final Cut exclusive permission to screen their cuttingedge music videos during the festival, and will be providing top French electro act Cocoon to Brighton for a special one-off live performance.

With another thrilling display of the obscure and wild as well as local film talent, this years Final Cut screening events promise to be an integral part of the 2007 Brighton Festival.

The Reaping (15) Director Stephen Hopkins This generic but decidedly worthy film follows a former Christian missionary (an overly serious Hilary Swank), who specialises in debunking religious phenomena, as she investigates a town cursed by 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 an absurd central premise.

THE BIG GIG

THIS WEEK James Burton and Billy Swan Best known for his work as guitarist and band leader for Elvis Presley, his career started even before that when he supplied the classic guitar lines on ‘Suzi Q’ by Dale Hawkins.

Subsequent to Presley he has worked with the likes of Gram Parsons, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Elvis Costello and Emmylou Harris. He’ll be joined by Nashville singersongwriter and producer Billy Swan, who wrote such classics as Clyde McPhatter’s ’Lover Please‘ and ‘I Can Help.’

Friends for many years, this is the first time these two legends have performed together. They will be joined by The Grundy Pritchard Band.

Mon 7 May, Concorde 2, Brighton, 01273 673311

Tinariwen Damien Rice Spiritual singer-songwriter, who is capable of writing haunting ballads and beautiful melodies.

Sat 14 July, Brighton Dome, 01273 709709

Latest 7’s Top 5 records 1990s Cookies (album Rough Trade) Another band in the seemingly endless queue of new bands who have recently had a good look at their history books, pillaging tunes, attitudes and styles from the golden era of music – the 70s. From Faces-style, bar-room sing-a-longs to late 70s new wave dynamism, what sets this lot apart from the herd is their refusal to capitulate to cheesy parody and blatant plagiarism. There are tunes galore here, a fantastic production sound, and loads of lets-not-take-this-too-seriously attitude. Best of all, 1990s have taken on board their history, and successfully mixed up all those 70s styles into one contemporary-sounding whole.

1

Groove Armada Soundboy Rock (album Columbia) One of the few dance acts that can cut it live, and who continue to make decent club music that works just as well at home. There’s an old-school flavour throughout, with a purposeful move back to the halcyon days.

2

Cinematic Orchestra Ma Fleur (album Ninja Tune) Very downbeat offering from Jason Swinscoe, which was written as a soundtrack to a commissioned screenplay. Sounding (thanks to the vocal talents of Patrick Watson in particular) like Antony and The Johnsons, this is atmospheric and fragile to almost heartbreaking effect.

3

The Bamboos Rawville (album Tru Thoughts) New Zealand vintage funk outfit with elements of hip hop. Seriously grooving à la Quantic Soul Orchestra, with our own Alice Russell guesting on one track.

4

The Wurzels Greatest Hits (album EMI) What more can you say but “oo arr” and “gurt lush”!

5

Hard to tell how much wild fantasy and wishful thinking is mixed in with the known facts of Tinariwen. Made up from the nomadic Touareg people of the Sahara, their story is intertwined with the continuing struggle of these stateless people. The three who make up the core of the band became soldiermusicians, lured to military camps in Libya by Colonel Gaddafi, and whose subsequent discovery of electric guitars formed the basis of their superbly hypnotic desert blues, that at root is an expression of the longing for freedom and peace in their troubled lands.

Tues 1 May, Komedia, Brighton, 01273 647100

Lou Rhodes Welcome return to Brighton for this ex-lead singer of Lamb, a band who accumulated a large and fanatical following, and who fell in love with Rhodes’ angelic voice, hippy looks and way of life.

With musical partner Andy Barlow they helped to create the soundtrack to the Big Chill generation. Now solo, Rhodes has produced a debut album, Beloved One, which last year was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize and demonstrates her talent for acoustic songwriting.

BRIGHTON SCENE A weekly round-up of what’s happening in the local Brighton and Sussex music scene It’s festival fever this month as the Brighton Festival and Fringe take off at the weekend. It’s your chance, as is the custom, to get stuck into the weird, exotic, unusual, and often wonderful. The month ahead will feature all kinds of musical events that don’t normally get a look in.

Check the Fringe programme in particular for some local delights. From brass to recitals, world music to rock, there is a veritable potpourri of idiosyncratic delights just waiting for an audience.

It’s a generally slow period, preThe Dials festival, so this week is a quiet one for local gigs. However, do check out The Dials (Fri 5 May, Brunswick), an eccentric and likeable bunch who recently won the Fopp unsigned competition. Expect a rather surreal hybrid of acid country folk, west coast vibes and surf/spag-western instrumentals verging from the Pulp Fictionesque mariachi explosion of ‘Theme From Dials’ to the countryrock Byrds-style ‘Lonely Boy’.

It’s ace!

On the release front, the Electric Soft Parade are back in action after Electric Soft Parade a hiatus that involved the White Brothers, Tom and Alex, going on a busman’s holiday with The Brakes, where they found further acclaim as the band’s musical driving force. As ESP they’ve been around since the late 90s when, as teenagers, they produced their debut album under the name Feltro Media. Their first album under the Electric Soft Parade moniker saw Holes In The Wall being nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in 2002.

Subsequent album The American Adventure was released the following year, and No Need To Be Downhearted represents their first album for four years. Nothing seems to have changed much – they are still an extraordinary musical force, capable of producing consistently interesting, innovative, guitar-driven music that feels like a British version of Grandaddy. In fact, a brilliant album.

Chungking are another Brighton band with a strong pedigree and who are back in action with their first release for three years. ‘Love Is Here To Stay’ is released this month, and is the first taster from their new album which will be released in the summer. Showcasing their move in to electro-pop waters, these former psychedelic soul merchants are made up of Jessie Banks and Shaun Hennessey, two genuinely born and bred Brightonians. Their new band includes Hardkandy’s Seany Clarke on bass and vocals.

They are also featured on a download-only single along with local soulstress Lisa Lindley-Jones, as part of the on-going Timeless Tracks Remastered series whereby contemporary bands/artists are given the chance to re-interpret classics of yore. In this case Chungking have covered Minnie Riperton’s ‘Les Fleurs’, while Lindley-Jones has plumped for Talking Heads’ ‘Road To Nowhere’. Visit www.ttremastered.com for more info.

THE MONTH AHEAD Chris Difford Back in the late 70s and early 80s Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook were responsible for a string of classics, some of which were hits, with Squeeze.

With a line-up that originally included Jools Holland, Squeeze produced songs such as ‘Cool For Cats’, ‘Up The Junction’, ‘Pulling Mussels From A Shell’, ‘Black Coffee In Bed’ and ‘Hourglass’. After disbanding in 98, Tilbrook and Difford have been performing solo, but they are back later in the year for a reunion tour. In the meantime, Chris will be performing many of those classic songs in an intimate setting.

Tues 8 May, Komedia, Brighton, 01273 647100

Mika More so than any other act, this is the fellow who many believe will be THE star of 2007. Already his gigs are being shifted into larger venues, and the media are increasingly upping the hyperbole on this 23-year-old pop machine in the making. Why so?

It may be because he emulates the long lost but not forgotten Freddie Mercury. And it could also be that he is a great songwriter, performer, producer and orchestrator. Or it might be the heady, euphoric rush he produces, neatly tied in with universal melodramas and tales of love won and lost, hope gained and denied. Or how about that we are in need of a degenerate dandy with one of those you-couldn’t-make-up backgrounds (Beirut-born, grew up in the midst of war, father held hostage, self-imposed exile in Paris and so on). Or it could be all these.

Being a face for the forthcoming Paul Smith campaign and getting more than half a million hits on MySpace can only point in one direction. Up! Fri 11 May, Concorde 2, Brighton, 01273 673311. (This is a rescheduled date from February. Tickets remain valid.)

From Arnie to art house, Craig Driver and guests catch up with the latest talk on the big screen

The baby has had her first pedicure. I am not happy about it. I was down the beach with friends, and friends of friends, when I suddenly had to run home for a few minutes to deal with an urgent matter that needed to be dealt with, um, in the bathroom.

When I returned, literally like eight minutes later, my angelic baby girl had red toenails! I was mortified. All I could think is of the chemicals going into her porous little membranes. She could have been allergic to it, as well as wheat. How am I going to get it off? Using more chemicals! Grrrr.

I’d left her with my friend, and it was her friend – who I’ve never met before – who cajoled said friend into painting the baby’s nails, so I felt unable to say how annoyed I am as I’ve only just met her. She’s an eight-month-old baby for God’s sake. You don’t put chemicals near them.

And to cap it off, as my baby sucks her own toes (I know, cute – she’s going to be a yoga teacher, I think), she might ingest the varnish.

I wonder if I am being over the top. Am I being a neurotic mother?

Or is it okay for me to be peed off? If it was me, I would have asked before I did that. But then I wouldn’t want to taint a beautiful baby’s weeny toenails. I’m surprised they just didn’t go the whole hog and pierce her ears and dress her in a Reebok tracksuit.

“I had to run home for a few minutes and when I returned my baby girl had red toenails!”

Thing is, it was a hot Sunday afternoon, I imagine everyone had had a few drinkies, they probably weren’t thinking. I forget because I don’t drink in the day any more. You can’t drink in the afternoon when you are charged with looking after a baby single-handedly. Y’know, in case you flake after one Magners, which I usually do. Baby bedtime with an afternoon hangover is no fun.

I was so looking forward to summer with the baby. I thought it would be all fun and sun, but now I’m worried I’m always going to be heading home to do baby stuff whilst others are drinking and sunbathing. I’ve tried to take baby on the beach. I even bought her a SPF 50 sun tent for her to sit in, but she wants to lounge outside with us.

Of course, she wants the one thing I don’t want her to put in her mouth – pebbles. Unfortunately the beach is full of the little blighters… it’s bloomin’ made of them. Perhaps though it’s better than sand. I wonder what would happen if she ate sand.

She’s teething and eating everything and anything at the moment.

She chews on my phone, my bracelet and of course her favourite – the TV remote control. Still no sign of her first tooth, though. I’m scared.

Will she scream all night as the first tooth pierces through her gums?

Hopefully it will just appear suddenly and painlessly with a toothbrush and some Colgate. Ah well I’m sure it won’t be as bad as taking nail varnish off a toenail measuring 3mm by 3mm that never stops moving.

THIS WEEK AND THE MONTH AHEAD ★Latest 7 enjoys happy hour at The Bell

Strawberry Social @ The King And Queen Like life itself, the Bank Holiday is all too short – that’s why it’s essential to pack as much as possible into the precious hours away from your lathe.

Helping you along, Brighton stalwarts Beat Circus and Strawberry Social are coming together for 12 non-stop hours of live music, comedians. magicians, and jugglers with the odd DJ thrown in for good measure. Best of all: the profits are going to charity, namely International Care And Relief, who help build schools in Africa. With breaksmeister extraordinaire Soul Of Man headlining the main room, it’s shaping up to be a classic bash.

The King And Queen, 13 Marlborough Place, Sunday 6 May, 12pm-2am, £10/£8.

Wild Fruit @ Creation Fancy pulling a rich Essex bird? If a return ticket to Chelmsford doesn’t appeal, you could do worse than donning your best rags for a night inspired by the (and I quote) ‘cat-fighting sluts’ who make up the current belles of the England football team. Mr ‘Last Night A DJ Saved My Life’ Seamus Haaji will be providing an electro-house soundtrack while the Fruity faithful play havoc with the dress-up box.

Creation, 78 West Street, 6 May, 10pm-3am, £12/£11/£10

Kabuki Launch @ Kabuki Like some kind of benevolent coastal vampire (think Dracula with flip flops), Brighton nightlife thrives on new blood. Launching this weekend, the latest clubbing contender is Kabuki, a fresh VIP-inspired space promising to add a decadent twist to the average night out. Making the most of the bespoke lighting and sound system will be Mike Panteli playing urban house on the Friday, followed by an eclectic mix from the residents to christen Saturday night.

Kabuki, 9-12 Middle Street, 4 May, 11pm–late, £7/£6

Dirty Weekend @ Ocean Rooms Already dubbed the ‘new Boutique’ by, er, their press release – Dirty Weekend is nonetheless something really special. A zeitgeist-inhaling smorgasbord of electro delicacies and indie gorgeousness, it’s über-cool without bothering to try too hard.

They’ve already had an enviable roster of guests (including the wonderful New Young Pony Club) and the residents do more than just make up the numbers.

Ocean Rooms, 1-2 Morley Street, 26 May, 11pm-4am, £5

A new renovation in time for summer means a trip to The Bell in Hove is in order.

Under new ownership, the attractive bar is modest and comfortable, with a friendly service and great drink promotions during happy hour (which is actually three hours, 4-7pm Monday to Friday!). A perfect place to relax and catch up with friends, The Bell may quickly become your favourite local with its relaxed atmosphere and entertainment provided in the form of quiz nights (contact the pub for upcoming dates).

As this was my first visit, the food is yet to be sampled, giving me a great excuse to return again soon, as The Bell prides itself on serving up fresh food every day, sourced from local suppliers. From home-made beefburgers and mouth-watering puddings to a traditional Sunday roast, the food offered here is great value.

Located deep in the popular Hove area near George Street, just off Blatchington Road, The Bell is easy to find and worthy of a visit daytime or evening.

STAGE

Tinker Taylor We catch Taylor Mac’s one, errr… person tour-de-force in London prior to his Brighton Festival debut How do you define Taylor Mac? Is it drag, comedy, theatre, performance art? Or is it one very clever, very ‘sorted’ gay guy taking a scorching swipe at them all?

I prepare by taking a look at his website.

There he is in his ‘finery’, as he likes to describe his manner of dressing, in a bathtub, crooning to the strains, and I mean strains, of his ukulele.

It’s absolutely beautiful, he is absolutely beautiful – but it’s no preparation for what is to come, none whatsoever.

At 9.30pm prompt the lights in the Soho Theatre dim. There is a tangible sense of expectation in the room. I guess we have all looked at his website. Suddenly there is a heavy clump-clump as Taylor appears at the back of the auditorium dragging a huge, cheap suitcase down the stairs to the stage. Clump, clump, clump it goes, announcing his arrival.

Taylor is wearing rags, pretty rags finished off with what can only be described as the remnants of a rara skirt made of surgical rubber gloves. His head is crowned with a Medusa-like mop of blonde dreads. His make-up is half happy half sad, a tranny clown.

The form of the show, he explains, will be a selection of excerpts from his career. ‘The best of really, although they have billed it as The Beast of.’ He also explains that he will not tolerate what he calls ‘catty chatty’ which I assume is people who do not pay attention, or who chatter or heckle. He makes it quite clear that he will humiliate anyone who crosses the

line. ‘I know I shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds me, but I do like to get a little blood on it!’

And blood is certainly spilled over the next 80 minutes, but mainly his. Taylor Mac bares his soul for all to see in a hysterical but heartbreaking bravura performance that has me crying with laughter and weeping genuine tears of sadness.

After his opening monologue he rips open the suitcase and scatters the contents across the stage – an act of evisceration symbolic of his previous incarnations, perhaps. Costumes, in tatters mainly, fly everywhere and throughout the show he will discard and add to what he is wearing.

Monologues and rants are punctuated with songs. There is much about his own state, his seemingly loveless life, his ex-lovers, his unrequited romances, his sexual fantasies, failings and the desperate hollowness of casual sexual encounters. Be prepared – Taylor spares no detail from his show and the sorrows and disgust that he has felt he aims to make you feel too.

That’s not to say that the show lacks heart or humour, for it has both. And although he paints a sad picture of his emotional state, he also paints a picture of his personal strength.

Anecdotes of how the general public take to him as he sports his ‘finery’ on the streets are both funny and inspiring. Like Quentin Crisp before him, he expects the world to accept him for what and who he is, and anyone who cannot is beyond his field of interest.

He does eventually get someone from the audience on stage, a shy man in his twenties who finds it hard to relax, understandably. But eventually Taylor has him, like putty, he starts to perform, like a lamb to the slaughter, then just as quickly Taylor spares him. His own brand of self-deprecation is not something he is going to force on others.

Perhaps the most moving moment is a song in two parts. Running from stage left to stage right, one minute he is the straight man witnessing the birth of his first child, the next he is himself on the other side of New York city, engaged in an act of deeply unsatisfying sex with a man, far more interested in keeping the linen clean than any form of emotional involvement.

It’s the common theme throughout the show: sex is easy, love almost impossible.

Before we are ready to accept the end the show is over. It seems like 20 minutes has passed but a quick check reveals that it is an hour and 20. The applause is deafening. He bows and we go quiet. ‘‘I could do that whole going off thing and make you beg for more but I can’t be bothered.’’ He lifts his ukulele and strums. It’s a tiny song, a plaintive little encore that leaves us satisfied despite its brevity.

Brighton beware, this is drag theatre as you have never seen it before. Theatre with roots in Lindsay Kemp, Bloolips, La Grande Eugene – forget camp, this is concentration camp!

Taylor Mac is at Komedia, Brighton, Tue 22–Wed 23 May, 9.45pm, £12.50/£10.50. Call 01273 647100 or see www.komedia.co.uk latest 7 43

The Liberace Of Baghdad Sean McAllister is joined by Rory McCarthy, Baghdad correspondent for The Guardian newspaper, for a special screening this Sunday, 6 May, at The Old Market in Hove.

Over eight perilous months, Sean McAllister spent time in a heavily fortified Baghdad hotel with Samir Peter. The two men ate, drank, bunked and filmed together amidst the escalating violence.

Under review Recent shows with a sprinkling of home-grown talent Easy Comedy Easy Bar’s monthly comedy night showed that stand-up comedy is anything but easy. Compere Lee Hume welcomed on stage the appropriately named Graham Standing, along with Mike Switzer, Holly Walsh, Netty Wendt and Roisin Le Bourhis who offered a counter-intuitive take on internet seduction. The latter act was a mild crowd-pleaser with lateralminded anecdotes that could have done with sharpening. Otherwise a warm and supportive crowd both on stage and off.

07712 588136 or artformstef@gmail.com Reginald D Hunter: Pride & Prejudice & Niggas It doesn’t get much better than Reg D Hunter. Challenging preconceptions, bringing laughter apparently effortlessly, and that low down-deep voice with a Southern twang. Tackling issues of family and expectations – as well as the usual racial and sexual politics – Mr Hunter delivered a fantastic show, with brightness and brilliance coming from the very different, but excellent, Sarah Millican ably supporting the man on his tour. JJ Whitehead beautifully rounded off both acts, having played the Krater earlier in the night too. The line-up tried out new material on the crowd. A mental feast that left you warm and satiated. Fantastic.

Komedia, 15 April ✌✌✌✌✌ Victoria Nangle

James Taylor: One Man Band James Taylor was seated in front of a backdrop of red and purple light and performed the finest selection of songs spanning his long career.

With witty dialogue and a slide show of personal photos, James revealed aspects of his life, drawing the audience with such charm as if he were sitting around the fire at home, talking with a bunch of old friends – an endearing touch that added to the intimacy of the show.

So much craft went into the making of this delightful show.

Graham Standing James Taylor: One Man Band

Malarki The very least anyone can say about seven-piece Malarki is that they play really good, funky, uplifting songs very well. But you’ve also got to praise their musicianship, stage presence and showmanship. Or, rather, showwomanship. Their lead singer, Katie Evans, deserves special mention. She was just astonishing, with as much soul as Skye Edwards and all the passion of Aretha Franklin. Remarkable, particularly as this was only their second show.

Radio Reverb Party, Sussex Arts Club, 19 April ✌✌✌✌ Billy Imrie

Terry Callier This Chicago-born jazz, soul and folk guitarist and singer-songwriter continues to be an awe-inspiring performer, even in the twilight of his illustrious career. The show felt like being part of an intimate audience with a master sharing his craft, rather than just another gig.

Pauses between the music were filled with very human asides of a subtle, philosophical nature and then it was straight back into the business at hand – working jazz, soul, folk and R’n’B grooves that lay the foundations for his sweet songs of love (and a few of a more political bent). We came away from the night with cheeks aching from smiling so much.

Dani on TV

She says it how she sees it

How the Other Half Learns Wednesday 9 May, Five Three teenagers from an inner city comprehensive secondary school in Wembley are sent for two weeks to Wells boarding school – the oldest boarding school in England. The two boys and one girl from Wembley meet their new exchange students and get to grips with their new surroundings and home. The three teenagers take to the school in different ways in the first episode. In this episode we see the last seven days of life for the trio in the posh cathedral school.

Michelle, the girl from Wembley has really high standards and it shows in her work, but moving to a school where she is pulled away from her studies to take part in extra curricular activities is taking its toll. So during her spare time, while all the other girls are chatting away, she takes herself up to her room to cram in a little extra study time.

Moeed, one of the boys from Wembley is asked by day boy Tom if he would like to come and stay at his house. Moeed, like most people would be, is totally shocked at the size of Tom’s home.

Mustafa, the last of the Wembley group is missing his family, but has also fitted into boarding well.

The school arranges a night out to Bristol and all the students bond while in an arcade, and Michelle sees how important it is to put the homework aside sometimes and have some fun.

The great thing about this is that all the kids get on really well. When I first heard what this was about I was expecting there to be arguments and bitchiness, but there is nothing of the sort.

Mustafa is asked to play on the school’s hockey team during an away match, Michelle is getting a clarinet lesson and Moeed is being given a bit of a talking to by the head mistress for slacking off in lessons.

When the three from Wembley went to Wells they were expecting everyone to look at them and think they were criminals, and when the three from Wells go to Wembley they are expecting the kids there to think they are posh (in a bad way). However it appears that all the kids find, from their new locations, slightly more understanding about how others live and about how they can improve themselves. That and a slight case of culture shock as the school in Wembley is a quarter of the size of Wells, but has triple the amount of students. At the end of the second week Moeed gives a presentation to a hall full of people and it goes down really well. Next time we see how the three students from Wells get on living with the Wembley kids in their houses and going to a regular school. This is heart-warming stuff, banishing the idea many of us have that people in general don’t get on with others from different cultural backgrounds.

Films on TV

Movies on the box this week

TUESDAY 1

SATURDAY 5

Dead Poets Society ★★★★✩ (1989, BBC1, 11.30pm. Dir Peter Weir) Robin Williams’ first foray into drama is the tale of an inspirational teacher at a stuffy all-boys school, and was released before the other copycat flicks came out (and before Robin got over-sentimental). His students include a very young Ethan Hawke and Robert Sean Leonard. Bless.

Victoria Nangle

Road to Perdition ★★★✩✩

WEDNESDAY 2 Clue ★★★★✩ (1985, ITV3, 9.35pm. Dir Jonathan Lynn) Remember Cluedo? Stateside they call it Clue, and this is the farcical story of who killed Mr Body, where, and with what. Star turns come from Tim Curry, Christopher Lloyd and Michael McKean, making for a high camp oddball whodunnit.

VN

THURSDAY 3 The Score ★★★✩✩

(2002, Channel 4, 9.05pm. Dir Sam Mendes) Tom Hanks tried to explode his good guy persona as a hit man on the revenge trail with his son in tow, in this hard-nosed thriller adapted from an equally gritty graphic novel. It tries to play up its noir credentials, but is too gloom laden to suck you into its spell.

MC

Saturday Night and Sunday Morning ★★★★✩ (1960, Sky Movie Classics, 2.40am. Dir Karel Reisz) The last word in post-war kitchen sink gloom. Albert Finney still bristles with anger almost fifty years on, against the system that grinds him down, his dead-end job and ultimately himself. A brutal reminder of the stifling atmosphere of the 50s, it’s a master class in quality British cinema.

MC

SUNDAY 6 Invasion of the Body Snatchers ★★★★✩

(2001, Channel 4, 10.30pm.

Dir Frank Oz) It’s the ‘one last heist’ movie revisited – with a smorgasbord of quality actors breathing magic into the formula.

Robert De Niro wants to run a jazz club after his last job, but Marlon Brando has an offer he can’t refuse.

VN

(1978, BBC1, 11.40pm. Dir Philip Kaufman) Just because Donald Sutherland is feeling paranoid, doesn’t mean the aliens aren’t out to get him in an inventive remake of the original sci-fi flick. Along with clever riffs on modern anxiety, moving the action to hippydippy San Francisco makes perfect sense – as does Leonard Nimoy as an extraterrestrial with designs on earth.

¡Three Amigos! ★★★✩✩ (1986, BBC1, 11.35pm Dir John Landis) Chevy Chase, Martin Short and Steve Martin star as Western idols out of their depth when a Mexican village summons them to fight some real-life bad guys. Knockabout comedy par excellence, but the stars are probably having more fun than their audience.

Matt Chittock

Erin Brockovich ★★★✩✩ (2000, UKTV Gold, 9pm. Dir Steven Soderburgh) Julia Roberts sticks it to the man, with a smile and a Wonderbra in Steven Soderburgh’s riveting real-life drama about a lowly legal secretary fighting a case of corporate negligence. It’s an impressive reminder that Julia really can act when given the right script.

MC

All About My Mother ★★★★✩

Erin Brockovich, Monday 7, UKTV Gold, 9pm

(1999, Sky Movies Indie, 12.35am. Dir Pedro Almodóvar) Bizarre and beguiling, Alvadóvar was on the money with his spruce story of a mourning mother out to reconnect with the father of her child. All of the director’s favourite obsessions are on the screen, and there’s never been a better showcase for his unique mix of comedy, melodrama and camp.

tuesday 1 may Horizon BBC2, 9pm On 26 November 2007 the most complex scientific experiment ever built will attempt a re-run of The Big Bang. The beginning of everything as we know it. They’re doing it in tunnels under the France/Swiss border. It may revolutionise everything, but couldn’t it just blow up an awful lot of things at once too? Hmm.

Animal Addicts Channel 4, 10pm Britain and our pets, eh? We love ‘em and can’t get enough of ‘em.

We’ll fight for their wellbeing and happily take in 70 owls to live in our terraced house with us. Not all of us? Oh well, must just be the one man – and the lady with over 300 pets on her farm, and a woman with over 100 dogs. Paris Hilton eat your heart out.

The Panic Room BBC3, 9pm Rather like a real-life Room 101, this takes two people with really strong fears – phobias in fact – and tries to cure them in three days by combining one-to-one therapy with visits to The Panic Room, where their worst fears come to life. Yes, worst fears come to life. Today that would be an elevator and a spider. Yikes!

thursday 3 Panorama BBC1, 8pm Babies! Brilliant mewling and puking bundles of joy that they are, they don’t appear to be a priority in the NHS, according to this latest investigation into our maternity services. With NHS spending at a high and midwives and patients feeling the care is at a low, Jeremy Vine tries to uncover this incongruity.

Shark Five, 10pm Isn’t it amazing when cases link in legal dramas? Yes, 15 years ago an uncannily similar story of child abduction and murder took place and Stark’s not letting go of this remarkable coincidence. And Julie’s having to let go of her previous saintly image of her mother. Oops! That one’s gonna be a clanger.

Supernatural ITV2, 11pm The hunky – but not fraternally similar in appearance in any way – brothers who hunt dead things that kill, come across an even more unusual case this week – an angel that causes people to murder... cheerfully. Always best to do horrid things with a smile they say, but surely this is stretching things.

Super Bears Five, 8pm Cute ‘n’ cuddly they may be from a distance, but as this enlightening documentary shows, you wouldn’t want to encounter one up close going after your picnic basket. As well as possessing a keen sense of smell (and those big, nasty paws), apparently they can come at you with surprising speed. Yikes.

monday 7 New Tricks BBC1, 9pm This week, the old lags investigate the case of the last man to be hanged in Britain, and claims that he was the victim of police corruption. It all seems clear-cut on the surface, but as ever the past brings up surprises – including some uncomfortable truths about how police behaved in ‘the good old days’.

The History of Mr Polly ITV1, 9pm Rubber-faced comedian Lee Evans plays it (almost) straight for a worthy adaptation of HG Wells’ Edwardian social odyssey.

Unable to find fulfilment as a shopkeeper, and after a suicide attempt goes spectacularly wrong he dumps his wife to see where life on the open road will take him.

Dog Borstal Unleashed BBC3, 8.30pm The channel where you’re never more than five minutes away from another episode of Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps updates viewers on the troublesome pups featured on the sister show. Tonight probation officer Mic Martin checks up on tearaway terriers Inji and Bertie.

Is it back to borstal for the pups?
