RadioReverb’s first birthday celebrations! We did it! The beginning of April saw RadioReverb’s first birthday celebrations! Cat and Chris from the Up and Out breakfast show saw the first year in with a mammoth 50 hour live broadcast! From 10 to 12 of April, Cat and Chris took over the RadioReverb airwaves and its daily schedule going live non-stop from the Thursday breakfast show to Saturday lunch. They were joined by a whole feast of Brightonians and Reverbers (and three dogs) and did a host of daft things; Chris learnt to lap dance; they sang scary songs; had chemical peels and non-cosmetic face lifts; put rubber gloves on their heads; had a pillow fight; dressed up station manager Simon Watkins in drag, as well as two outside broadcasts from top Brighton venues – promoting local bands and DJs. Grace Norman, who runs the station with Simon, comments: “We’ve been on air as an FM station 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, for a whole year. And it’s been a really good year. The station has blossomed, the producers have found their feet, and there’s a big enough range of shows that there really is something for everyone.” Cara Courage, acting chair of the station, continues: “We’d like to give a huge thanks to Cat and Chris for their dedication to the station over the year, and the adage ‘you don’t have to be mad to work here but it helps’, would seem to apply to them as well! The 50 hour broadcast was a huge success and galvanised the whole team at Reverb, so thanks to everyone that got involved.” The Up and Out team would like to extend the biggest thanks to everyone involved – everyone who has come into the station and everyone who supported by sponsoring Cat and Chris.

It's the most glamorous night of the year if you're a Brighton performer the Latest Awards will celebrate the best of the festivals on Monday. Turn to page 12 for how to get tickets, nominate your favourite show and get onto the judging panel. The ceremony will be hosted by our comedy writer and Cheeky Boy Brian Mitchell, along with colleague Dave Mounfield. This week in their column, Brian and Joseph Nixon take a wry look at what's not on at the festival (p19). Back to the real programme, for Festival highlights and must-see shows, see page 20, or find more including fringe events in our 27-page listings section (p29). Apart from the glittering Latest Awards, one of the best final parties will be the Fringe Festival Masked May Ball staged by Kroon Kat Lounge at the Old Ship Hotel on Friday. See music (p40). If you can't make it, on Saturday The Parlure hosts old time blues and skiffle with Kitty, Daisy and Lewis, ahead of the closing party on Sunday night. Sadly this week we say goodbye to our talented clubs writer Matt Chittock. While Matt will stay on as a TV previewer, his job writing about Brighton's club scene is up for grabs. Email rachel@thelatest.co.uk We already have one new reporter for you this week although she's not quite ready for clubbing - ten-year-old Suzie Gilburt attended Brighton Children's Book Festival and wrote a stonking review (p34). Literary columnist John Davies enjoyed a sold-out fringe event celebrating Brighton authors (p36) while music editor Jeff Hemmings is looking forward to Songs From the Canyon, collaborations at the Joogleberry between some of the world's best singer-songwriters (p39), starting tonight (Tues). If you're ready to get back out in the sun, the Royal Pavilion will mark Gardens Week from Monday, and we've checked out the best restaurants offering an alfresco experience (p23). We had hundreds of entrants to our Girls Aloud competition but only one lucky winner; find out how she got on at the Brighton Centre gig in letters on page 15.

Talent on TV Brighton’s got talent, as hit TV show comes to the city This summer/autumn sees two massive TV hits bring their live shows to Brighton. First is the hugely popular Saturday night hit Britain’s Got Talent. Presenters Ant and Dec will thread the show together on big screens while the seven finalists do their thing. The Brighton Centre will be the host for the first nationwide tour which will feature all the finalists (they haven’t all been decided yet!) giving their best talent to the crowd. We all remember last year’s finalist – Cardiff-born mobile phone salesman Paul Potts, who gave a heartfelt rendition of the classic anthem ‘Nessun Dorma’. This year expect camp Hula Hoopers, cute kiddy vocals and maybe even someone playing the saw! Britain’s Got Talent, the live tour, is on Monday 9 June at the Brighton Centre. Tickets are priced at £29.50 or £32.50.
Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding return to Brighton as the Mighty Boosh
Summer celeb hotspots
Surreal stage malarkey Following the sell-out success of their debut live tour, “The funniest comedy double-act in Britain”, (NME) Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt, return to the live stage with their heady mix of music and comedy. Vince Noir and Howard Moon will be joined on stage by a host of characters from their hit TV show. See Naboo the Enigma and his cape of wonder. Bollo; the ape that dreamt he was a man. Discover what mysteries lurk in the Hitcher’s hat. Marvel at the Moon as he soothes with his idiot wisdom. Expect punks and yetis, and monsters with elbow patches, in a psychedelic meteorite of music and mayhem. The Mighty Boosh will also be playing the Brighton Centre from the 12-15 November and then make a return visit on 13 December.

So has summer finally arrived? Here are my top five venues for spotting celebs and sipping cocktails in the sun. • Due South – fave hangout of Zoe and Norman, head down to the seafront to spot celebs pushing their buggies at sea-level. • The rooftop at Fratelli’s in Brighton Square, this ultra chic space gives you a bird’s-eye view in the heart of the Lanes – the pork chop ain’t bad as well! • Udderbelly Pasture, Steine Gardens, where else can you sip on a beer/milkshake and see Jim Bowen leave a portaloo? • The Fortune of War on the seafront, great beer, great view – nuff said • The Black and White Bar, The Seattle Hotel, Brighton Marina. Spot the touring bands in town who all stay in this hotel – because the car park is big enough for the tour bus!

KATIE’SCOLUMN
What Katie did Katie likes her food posh, plentiful and served on somebody else’s expense account
Foodie for thought When I was little my mum used to make me eat pilchards. Spooning the greasy brown fish from their can she’d warm them in their acid tomato sauce and plop them out onto wholemeal toast in front of me. I used to assume she did this because she hated me (even if she claimed the fish were good for us), but in hindsight I suspect she did it because we were broke. My mum eats food Gordon Ramsay would call ‘rustic’. Or f****** rustic. Stews, casseroles, pies, puddings -– hardworking, family meals. But personally, I’ve always liked my food posh. To rebel, as soon as I left home I became a food snob. Sitting in student rooms, damp peeling the paper off the walls, the electricity meter empty, I’d feast on olives, artichokes, fresh mozzarella, baby tomatoes, fillet steak and dark chocolate. Sucking fresh figs for pudding and downing the lot with a bottle of chianti. Even at times when I have been most impoverished I have always made sure there was enough money for Parma ham. The day I lost my virginity, we ate caviar. Foodwise then, moving to London was a joy.
Sometimes we go to the Ivy, sometimes to the Tate, sometimes to that place where you eat in the dark – served by blind waiters, with no idea what you’re getting – and sometimes to Harrods to eat sticky Dunkin’ Donuts and crispy, coloured macaroons. In a Japanese place in Soho you can eat sushi while the only sake sommelier in the country tops up your glass. And order plates of freshly cut sashimi, spread out like a beautiful exotic aquarium and served with flower tea that blooms open in the cup. In the Savoy they arrive at the table wheeling whole sides of beef, huge sizzling roasts served with plates of steaming veg and lashings of gravy that would have made Enid Blyton foam at the mouth. And at party after party, intricate arrangements of exquisite canapés arrive. Chorizo on flatbread, deep fried courgette flowers, grilled asparagus spears, mini cottage pies and skews of spiced chicken drift across the crowd, rarely making it the length of the room before the trays are whisked back to the kitchen to be restocked. If you want it, you can eat it (as long as you appreciate that while you’re not paying for it, god knows how much you will get or when it will appear). So I arrive in London and I eat. I try everything. I am the culinary chameleon. Life tastes good. And then a funny thing happens. When you have eaten all the rich food that other people’s money can buy, and you have spent a month downing bottles of champagne and ordering á la carte on someone else’s expenses, one day you’re walking home and there’s only one thing in the foodie world you’re craving that the whole capital can’t supply: a home cooked meal. So I buy a tin of pilchards and have that instead.
“I used to assume she did this because she hated me... I suspect she did it because we were broke” In London I eat fancy as I like. Spurred on by the freebie nature of journalism, I’ve found a genuine smorgasbord of culinary opportunities there for the taking. Sashimi for breakfast, salt beef bagels for lunch and god-knows-what-it-is for dinner. Since I moved into my new flat three months ago I’ve yet to manage a single shop – surviving instead solely on a diet of swanky dinners, lavish banquets, generous buffets and fancy canapés. All – stupendously – in the name of work. For the past year I’ve dined like royalty – sometimes with royalty. I have eaten my way through a fistful of foie gras, necked enough oysters to make me vomit and piled plates high with shiny Russian caviar from bowls the size of a baby’s bath.

Eminemmylou Hi, I’m Eminemmylou, throwin’ lyrics at you. This week Sofia Vandor
EMOTIONS
Dani’s diary Dani says that laughter is the best medicine, though a game of Minesweeper comes a close second
We Are the Rock
Backstage we’re in trance On stage give us chance Rock you people hard Sing along some love
Laughing is apparently very good for you. It (allegedly) has the capability to burn tonnes of calories and also put you in a good mood. But when was the last time you found something seriously and hysterically funny? For me, the last time I had an unexpected laugh-out-loud moment was yesterday just after work. A friend of mine was giving me a run down of why her day was so crappy, and added in a huff that she didn’t get a lunch break: “So I just ate a packet of ham and a yoghurt to stop myself from passing out at the gym.” The line might not seem funny on paper, but it was so unexpected that it was hysterically funny to me (because I am strange and find those kinds of things funny!). I was chuckling all the way home in the rain. Mumbling to myself, the way you do. A packet of ham and a yoghurt. Ha! But other than that gem I’m afraid I have nothing further to report. I have just spent an hour playing Minesweeper (that game you get on Microsoft PCs). I hate that game. “So why are you playing it?” I hear you ask. Well, I thought I would try and give it a go, obviously not for my own benefit, but in the name of procrastination.
We are the Rock Rolling ‘round the block We are the Life Gotcha high five
“Therefore I have totally forgotten what this column was going to be about“
My old tunes are false I’ve lost my dancing shoes On the run barefoot Chasing lions down the bush Barefoot I’m a runner In high heels I’m a fighter Born in wild civilisation New tunes fortification [Chorus] We are the Rock Rolling ‘round the block We are the Life Gotcha high five
Send rhymes and a pic to: eminemmylou@thelatest.co.uk
So obviously I didn’t start writing this until I had worked out how the game works, won a game and then tried to beat my own score over and over again. Therefore I have totally forgotten what this column was going to be about. You can guarantee you are not missing anything, it wouldn’t have been award winning, and let’s face it, you would have been lucky if it made any sense at all. Back to the main point of this column – laughing. I don’t think we do it enough. Everyone is so serious all the time and it’s a wonder anybody knows how to crack a joke at all. The last actual joke I heard was one I was forced to listen to by an old man in Forfars. I did not enjoy the joke. I have a rather dry and cynical sense of humour, one that lends itself well to taking the mick. Which I do constantly, all day long. Well, you have got to do something to alleviate the boredom of being normal. It’s either that or convince myself I have some outrageous disease caused by my hold-ups (which I thought were tights when I bought them) cutting off the circulation to the rest of my legs. Though I could comfort myself knowing that I have accidentally stumbled across a pair of hold-ups that don’t require elastic bands to keep them up. My advice for the week: laugh at everything, mainly yourself!

New city council leader Mary Mears - ‘Mrs T of Brighton’ talked to Rachel Pegg about her plans latest 7
Brighton Lady
NEWS
What are your targets for the city? When we came in last May our first commitment was to introduce stricter controls on the council’s finances and create a three-year business planning approach. This was the first time the council had done this. I want to make sure we deliver on core services – getting the basics right every time – because residents want to see real impact not just talk. We need to keep listening to what residents are saying and acting on their concerns and ideas. What kind of services are you thinking about? If you speak to people, they will talk about their environment – their streets, their roads, their parks and the seafront. This is important for people’s quality of life. It’s what they expect when they pay their council tax. I’m also very keen to ensure that the city’s diversity is promoted. This includes economic diversity. That means protecting small businesses because they help make Brighton and Hove a great place to live, work and visit. I’m in the process of setting up a meeting with Southern Water because there’s a real issue about all the roadworks going on in the city. It has a knock-on effect on small businesses, taxi drivers, buses, and people going to and from work. We have to work in partnership to ensure businesses have a good summer. We don’t want people to go away thinking: “Do I really want to go there again?”
What are you doing to bridge the gap between rich and poor? We’ve just completed a review on inequalities across the city. It shows that although we’ve had large amounts of money going into certain areas, which has generated a feel good factor, it hasn’t dealt with some of the issues as we thought it was going to. This report highlights what we need to be doing better, for example, getting adult social care and housing working closely together to provide better outcomes for those people they serve. There are families we need to give extra help and we’re looking at how we can improve our services to them. It’s also about our work to improve the estates. We must ensure people don’t feel as though they have been forgotten. We’ve done a lot of work on housing. We had a massive ‘no’ vote to transfer the housing stock, but the tenants made their choice and they wanted to stick with the council. When we came in we had a £225million gap to fill in order to meet the government’s ‘decent homes’ criteria. We’ve done a lot of work and brought that down to £50million. We’ve worked with tenants and they’ve supported us in taking this forward. We also want to get a mix on our estates. We’re losing young families, which we can’t afford to do because it gives an imbalance to the city. You’ve got relatives getting older while young people and families move away so there’s hardly anyone looking after their relatives, which usually falls back on the council. It’s about finding ways of making sure young families can afford to buy and live close to their relatives through schemes like part-ownership. We also need to be more creative about how we use space. Will the new leader and cabinet system speed up decision-making? Every member on this council was wedded to a committee system because it’s really good for debate. The constitution we’ve created will be one of the most open in the country. Yes, it will speed things up and it will also let the public and opposition members see what’s going on. The last thing we want to do is make decisions behind closed doors. Are you going to be united after a close leadership challenge? Well, it’s quite interesting because we actually had a secret ballot, the point is if you win or lose, you don’t know who voted for you. Geoffrey Theobald was a strong candidate, but I was lucky enough to win. We have an excellent working relationship and I am delighted he is part of my cabinet.
Would there be anything in the longer term to encourage small businesses, for example, in the London Road development? In any development there has to be a mix. I do have some concerns about superstores coming into city centres. A few years ago, when multinationals were allowed to build out of town superstores, they desecrated high streets across the country. Over the years small and medium-sized businesses have rebuilt high streets and they’re really vibrant. Multinationals obviously recognise the market, they’ve been on the outskirts and now they want to come in. We must be careful that the city still strikes the right balance and we don’t lose the small independent businesses.
What does it mean to be the second woman city council leader? I’m a great believer in ability and merit. I don’t believe in parliamentary shortlists for women. I think you should be chosen on your merit. I’ve read lots of comments about what type of leader I might be – I even read somewhere that I’m going to be the ‘Mrs T of Brighton’. I was really pleased with that.
Was it sensible the way Jubilee Street was developed? It’s great that we’ve got a mix of small businesses and a Tesco. We’ve got the wonderful Jubilee library, you can have sushi and there’s a new restaurant and hotel. So it’s a good example of striking that balance between promoting local businesses while attracting others.
What are you going to do about rubbish in the street? As an authority, we need to deliver our core services well because there’s no good having frills if the base isn’t solid. Residents need to be able to come out of their front door and it needs to be tidy and the rubbish emptied. Then they have a feel-good factor.
Are you going to take a different approach? When Brian was the leader and I was deputy, we worked very closely. I’ve never really thought about it to be honest. Everybody’s got their own personality and their own style.

These are just some of the shows so far that have caught our attention.

I Kissed a Frog and it Gave Me Herpes, Upstairs at the Three and Ten This tiny production was everything fringe theatre should be – innovative, offbeat and bizarre. Billed as “A play about love, kebabs and Viking re-enactment warriors”, it impressed Victoria Nangle, who called it “funny”, “sweet” and “great fun to watch”. Rider Spoke, outdoor event Multimedia experimentalists Blast Theory got people out on their bikes for a delve into their subconscious. As they rode around alone, they were asked searching questions. Their answers were recorded then played to others when they passed the same way. Personal, challenging and stirring – did you find it moving? Short Cuts, Nightingale Theatre This dance show brought together four short productions from Finland, Italy, the US and the UK. Audiences were treated to shows that were, according to reviewer Monica Perdoni, “raw”, “emotional”, “quirky”, “poignant” and “wickedly funny”. Flabbergast, The Parlure Kids and parents loved Swizzleshaker’s low budget tribute to the silver screen, followed by mime artist Fraser Hooper’s public humiliation of willing audience members. Dad-of-two Ian Trevett loved the first act’s “energy and cheek” and called the second half “audience participation at its silliest and very best”. Elvis Career Special 1954-1977, The Joogleberry One audience member described Jim Devereaux as “better than the real Elvis”. Rider Spoke
Poignant, show-stopping, sexy and everything you would expect from a great night out. Daughters of Albion, Brighton Dome Andrew Kay lavished praise on this collaboration between six English folk and contemporary singers, calling it “an evening of musical genius”. For those who missed it, it was hard not to be jealous of the audience who got to hear “some of the most brilliant female songstresses the country has to offer and a band to match”. Sean Rowley’s Guilty Pleasures, The Parlure These days it's social suicide to admit you like Bon Jovi – unless you’re at Guilty Pleasures. Neil Ive enjoyed throwing aside concerns about image and dancing to music that was once considered cool. He called it “a night which thrives on the honesty of us all, we enjoy FUN music”. Stockholm, Corn Exchange This dark and emotional play about an unravelling relationship thrilled and tore apart audiences. Andrew Kay said it restored his faith in physical theatre – how did it affect you? Stephen Grant

Mindless A student was walking to his Brighton home when he was jumped on by muggers who punched and kicked him in the head.The 21-year-old was saved from serious injury by a couple who heard the commotion outside their home, off London Road, opened the door and effectively scared the offenders away. The couple called the police, cared for the student until his parents arrived, and the husband later retrieved the student’s rucksack containing his university work.The villains had tossed it from their vehicle into the fast lane of the A23 at Pyecombe after stealing what valuables there were inside. Officers and the students’ family praised the couple and officers are continuing their inquiries. They believe the attack was mostly about gratuitous violence and had little to do with robbery: the youths were getting sick thrills from inflicting pain and injury. The attack this month is the sort of incident that is adding fuel to calls for demands for more officers on the streets and a radical rethink on the way society is policed.

than 15 per cent last year and robberies and violent crime in public places went down 12 per cent, but crime has spiralled over the decades. It remains a hot topic and politicians continue to call for improvements.
“The attack is the sort of incident that is adding fuel to calls for demands for more officers on the streets “ Nick Herbert, MP for Arundel and shadow justice minister, is the latest with a pledge that if his Tory party wins the next election they will abolish police authorities and replace them with elected commissioners who would appoint chief constables. His argument is that authority members are not directly elected and, therefore, are not as accountable. Having elected commissioners would, they claim, bring added pressure to make improvements and would
All talent This was no ordinary school reunion in Hove for between them they can boast five Baftas, three Ivors, three Oscar nominations, one Grammy, two New York Drama Desk nominations and awards together with medals, gold albums and honourary degrees. The lunch, hosted by Dee Palmer, formerly David Palmer, keyboardist and arranger with the legendary English rock group, Jethro Tull, was given to celebrate Christopher Gunning’s recent Bafta for his music score for the film La Vie en Rose, on the life of Edith Piaf. Gunning, Palmer and another guest, composer/arranger David Cullen, creator of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musicals, were all composition students of Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, at the Royal
Academy of Music in the sixties. Sir Richard was guest of honour at the recent reunion at Palmer's seafront home in Hove, and completing the star-studded lineup of guests were singer Clare Torry and the proclaimed first lady of British jazz Claire Martin. The group of friends said they were still busy in the music business. Sir Richard and Claire (Martin) were due to start a country-wide tour of festivals and theatres on 17 May. Gunning has started writing Symphony No 5, the latest in the series, plus he has recorded an Oboe Concerto with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. He said there was also a possibility he would be writing the music for a West End play. Cullen was starting to collaborate on a sequel to The

free-up local forces from Whitehall bureaucracy. Mr Herbert told Latest 7: “It would put more officers on the streets and in the front line and I don’t believe it will cost the taxpayers more. Police commissioners will have a free hand to cut out unnecessary expenditure caused by Government red tape and bureaucracy.” Mr Herbert wants a zero tolerance approach to crime and holds up the example of New York and Los Angeles, two cities where such policy, it is claimed, has led to significant cuts in crime and improvements in the quality of life. He credits Bill Braton, former commissioner of New York police and the current police chief of Los Angeles. Under his policy and the leadership of then mayor Rudy Giuliani, New York’s crime was reduced by 75 per cent. And now murders and attacks in Los Angeles have fallen by 20 per cent in two years. There are senior officers within Sussex Police who believe a zero tolerance policy would reap significant benefits here. They call it the ‘broken-window theory‘ – come down hard on the so-called

minor offenders and it stops them moving on to more serious crimes. Under the Tory plan, day-to-day policing would still be the remit of chief constables but overall policy and performance would be monitored by commissioners directly accountable to the public. Chief constables would be accountable more to the commissioners than they would Whitehall. There are many who would support the Tory ideas but the theories were not in the mind of the young student attacked in Brighton recently. He came away from his ordeal shaken, saddened and baffled as to what makes people commit unprovoked, seemingly motiveless crimes and with such venom. His parents were reminded of scenes of ‘ultraviolence‘ in the books/movies A Clockwork Orange and Brighton Rock, and were left wondering: would any crime-fighting system have stopped the fictional anti-heroes, the Alex’s or Pinkies of this world? Or those muggers who attacked the student? That student was my son. To the couple who saved him – a million thanks.

The network will operate independently but is being hosted by the Community and Voluntary Sector Forum (CVSF), an umbrella group of 550 community and voluntary groups Janice Hoiles, from the LiNK development team, said: “It is for anyone interested in having a say. We are particularly trying to reach hard-to-reach groups in the community such as mental health service users and younger males because they are under represented at the moment.” The group will have statutory powers and will be able to ask to make inspections. People can join the steering group or contribute views to the website. The LiNK replaces disbanded Public Patient Involvement Forums, which used to be attached to each NHS organisation. Mary-Ann Letten, of the Brighton and Hove PCT PPIF, thought it might be hard to get the public involved and connect so many organisations but it was worthwhile. She said: “I do hope that LiNKs work and I wish them well.” An open meeting will take place at the Brighthelm Centre, North Road, Brighton on Thursday 12 June from 10am-4pm.

Members of the public are being encouraged to have their say on how the city’s health and social care services are run. A local involvement network (LiNK) is being set up to allow individuals, groups and organisations to oversee the work of Brighton and Hove’s hospitals, primary care trust and other providers. The network will meet regularly to discuss specific issues with health and social care and comment on plans for the future. People who have concerns about their care will be able to approach the LiNK to raise their concerns anonymously. Want to have your say on the Royal Sussex County Hospital?
Education
Charity Commission Independent schools have been urged to make links with the state sector to avoid losing their charitable status. Speaking at a conference at Brighton College, Dame Suzi Leather, chairwoman of the Charity Commission, encouraged private schools to do more to offer benefits to the local community. Other speakers included Charles Kennedy, who opened the school’s new history department, Brighton College headteacher Richard Cairns and Michael Gove, shadow secretary of state for children, schools and families. The Charity Commission recently published draft supplementary guidance for charities which advance education and charge fees. It states that charities must provide an identifiable benefit in relation to their aims. In the education sector, this means that they must be seen to provide educational benefit to the public or a section of the public. 14 latest 7
Dame Suzi said: “The fact that you run philanthropy classes for your students, organise monthly clean-ups of a local park or that your school sponsors an Indian village are praiseworthy initiatives, but these activities are not related to your stated aims of advancing education and so cannot be taken into account as evidence of the public benefit you provide. “However, partnering your pupils with children with special educational needs in local schools or letting their pupils use your recreational facilities for sports would count because that directly involves the education of children.” She said some independent schools might provide subsidised places, summer school courses or music and language lessons for the wider community. For the last two years Brighton College and HSBC has offered three scholarships to pupils from Kingsford Community School in Newham.
Happy Birthday St Ann’s Well A celebration in the Gardens A popular park celebrates its centenary on Saturday May 24 with a fun packed day of celebrations St Ann’s Well Gardens in Hove is one of the city’s hidden gems – but 100 years ago it could have ended up as a building site. During the 18th and 19th century St Ann’s Well was a privately owned pleasure garden, where visitors flocked to drink water from a natural spring and enjoy concerts, parties, fortune tellers and, at one time, even a monkey house! In 1907, the owner of the gardens, Mr d’Avigdor Goldsmid, was offered £26,000 by local businessmen who wanted to build on the land. Fortunately, he declined and sold the gardens to Hove Council for £10,000, which opened the park to the public in May 1908.
“St Ann’s Well Gardens is a hidden gem, but it could have ended up as a building site” Today the park, situated off Somerhill Road, is much loved by people of all ages and the anniversary is being marked with free entertainment from 12 noon to 7pm on May 24. The event is being organised by the Friends of St Ann’s Well Garden and Brighton and Hove City Council and will include games, walks, talks, history, film theatre, poetry, t’ai chi and dance lessons, a brass band, bowls, and a music stage.

I took my friend Rebecca Metcalf and we sang our little hearts out. Our bums remained off our seats throughout the whole show.

Pipe down... Noise is a source of irritation and stress for many people, whether it’s at home, at work, at study or in our leisure time. People often don’t realise the effect the noise they make has on others, and those who suffer from noise disturbance may not know the best way to tackle it. Traffic noise is also becoming increasingly linked to ill health. Noise Action Week is taking place from 19-23 May and is aimed at encouraging everyone to think about the noise they make, the noises that bother us, and what can be done to reduce it. Noise Action Week is co-ordinated by Environmental Protection UK every year and local authorities, housing association and other organisations involved in managing noise across the UK are carrying out activities in their area to raise awareness of the issues and promote practical solutions. Activities include display stands at local shopping centres with local authorities giving advice and information, presentations at local schools, noise demonstrations, and a number of organisations are working with pubs and clubs to help them deal with outside noise, caused by customers going outside as a result of the smoking ban. Find out more at: noiseactionweek.org or environmentalprotection.org.uk to find out how to reduce the noise you make or tackle noise disturbance. Mary Devlin, Environmental Protection UK, Brighton
Fringe fever We have been publishing all our Latest 7 Festival and fringe reviews at www.latest7.co.uk where you can post your thoughts about shows you’ve seen and nominate performers who you think deserve a Latest Award. Already in the running for an award is Le Coeur Rouge. Writing about the show, one reader, Karen, made the following comments: “I went to see the Le Coeur Rouge show last night (13 May) and it was so much fun, a real rollercoaster of acts from the beautiful to the odd to the highly skilled. I laughed a lot and came out feeling really glad I made the effort to go out on a Tuesday.” It’s the best cabaret I’ve seen for ages. It’s a shame it had such a short run as I would have liked to have taken some friends along to see it. I look forward to their show next year.
That Thursday night and Friday morning must have come as a shock to pretty much every Albion fan. It certainly caught us lot out down in the Latest Sport bunker. Like an email you’ve sent into the infinity of the ‘interweb’ seconds before realising it’s gone to the one person it shouldn’t have done, our column began rumbling through the print machines just as the first murmurs of Micky Adams’ return filtered out. Even with this good news many Albion fans will still feel the collective pang of injustice at the ‘demotion’ former manager Wilkins has been offered. After performing miracles with a shoestring budget and a largely inexperienced team this season they were all so unlucky to not find themselves one or two positions higher in the league come the final whistle. But you can see the logic of the plan here. The Albion are after the money to build Falmer and have shown some of the ambition they’ll need to do this by appointing a manager who’s won things before. If we’re lucky and Wilkins stays on in a lead coaching position that plays to his strengths then the club is certainly creating the magic behind the scenes needed to push for promotion next year. The timing of the decision gives Adams the whole of the summer to get the players he’s after. His reported stint as a scout for Premiershipbound Stoke City this year could prove dividends for us. And in case you’re reading this Micky – flicking through for a new home on the South Coast – we’re after a left-back, an attacking midfielder, a couple of wingers, and a striker to give Murray and Forster a run for their money.
“The timing of the decision gives Adams the whole of the summer to get the players he’s after” So far we’ve heard of a few possibilities on the transfer front. Peter Leven’s name keeps cropping up. He’s available on a free this summer after an impressive season with League Two’s Chesterfield who also finished one position below their division’s play-offs. Then there’s the never-ending news that Matt Richards is on his way out of Ipswich, along with former Albion youngster Dan Harding, “if the right offer comes in for them,” according to their club’s website. Chesterfield seems to have caught the imagination of a few Albion scouts with Hungarian defender Janos Kovacs also getting mentions in the transfer gossip columns. He’s played at under-20 level for his nation, nearly every game for the Spireites this year and has been described as “powerful and fearless in the air”. But with Hinshelwood hoping to make progress, and Elphick, Lynch and El-Abd first down on the team sheet as centre-backs, will the club need another defender when other positions need filling? Could Adam Virgo make a spectacular return? Is an imminent ‘homecoming’ for Zamora a still distant dream? Time will tell. Finally, congratulations to Eastbourne Town who are set to continue their local rivalry with Lewes as both clubs win promotion to the conference for next season. Along with Crawley, there’ll be three Sussex teams in the fifth tier of English football next season meaning there’ll be some tasty Sussex derbies heading our way. Get in touch – email us at sport@thelatest.co.uk Those were the days. Adams’ return brings back fond memories

Breast is best Rachel Pegg discovers the benefits of breast-feeding To breast-feed or not to breast-feed? These days there might seem to be hundreds of formula milks that claim to be as good as the real thing. But the truth is that there is irrefutable medical evidence which shows that, if you are able, breast-feeding is by far the best thing for mothers and children. Babies who are breast-fed for the first three to four months are less likely to have breathing problems, urinary tract infections and skin and digestive disorders. In addition, breast-fed babies have lower rates of hospital admissions, diarrhoea, rashes, and other medical problems than bottle-fed babies. They are more likely to be healthy because of antibodies in mum’s milk, are less likely to become obese in later life and are less likely to suffer from allergies, eczema and asthma as they get older. Mothers receive benefits too. Women who don’t breast-feed are more likely to develop breast and ovarian cancers and type 2 diabetes. They find it easier to lose weight gained in pregnancy and are less likely to become obese in the future. The World Health Organisation recommends that mothers and babies exclusively breast-feed up to six months. However, national data suggest that only 43 per cent of women are breast feeding in England and Wales at six weeks. The government has targets to increase the uptake within 48 hours after birth, at six to eight weeks and for the first six months of a baby’s life. Research shows that women who breast- feed for six to eight weeks are far more likely to continue for six months. Brighton and Hove City Teaching Primary Care Trust and the city council recently commissioned a report entitled “Supporting breast-feeding in public places and when returning to work”. The aim of the report was to find ways that women can be encouraged to breast-feed and others in the city can help them. The report confirmed that younger mums from working class backgrounds were less likely to breast-feed than their older, middle class counterparts. Terry Blair-Stevens, public health programme manager for Brighton and Hove and one of the team who commissioned the research, said: “There are genuine reasons why some mothers are unable to breast- feed. This project isn’t about giving them a hard time. It is rather about those who are able, enabling them to do so.” Find out more at www.brightonandhovebestforbabies.org

Model city Sandra Omo knows only too well that packing a suitcase is a trying task There is something associated with modelling that I do not like. I know this is difficult to believe, as I myself can hardly bear to think that there is a part of this, my lovely career, that I don’t enjoy. Well there is, and it is the packing and unpacking of suitcases when travelling. I am not a supermodel, yet, but at this stage of my career, I can’t count how many journeys – as in suitcases I have packed and unpacked – I have gone on. If it’s not for a casting or a job, then it is for networking. Networking? Oh yes! If you want to be out there you need to meet people in the industry, or you might as well become a ‘modelling granny’. As I struggle with my suitcase right now, the frustration is unbearable. You have no idea how miserable I am at packing. I have been packing my suitcase since yesterday, and each time I look at it my head aches because I see the heap of mess in my suitcase and it will never close. There is never enough space in my suitcase. Even when I manage to pack it when going, it never fits when coming back. I am so bad at packing that I go on some journeys with only my basics: body products; underwear; one or two items of clothing. If I need anything else, I buy it at my destination. I deceive myself by calling this ‘travelling light’ when it’s actually my strategy to avoid packing.
“As I struggle with my suitcase right now, the frustration is unbearable. You have no idea how miserable I am at packing” There is a knock on my door, it is the driver: we have to leave now or I’ll miss my flight. I reach into my suitcase and grab an armful of clothes, drop them on the bed and hurry out of the room. I know not exactly what I have left behind, but I do not mind, as I would rather miss some clothes than miss the job I have been booked for at 10am the next day. My booker was reluctant about booking me for this job. He feared that if there was a slight delay to my flight schedule it would mean a noshow, but I assured him that all would be fine. Besides, the client specifically requested me, so I had to have it. My plan was to sleep on the plane. I will arrive in London at 7am. That is enough time to hurry home, freshen up and be at the location for 10am. I would be able to make it, or so I thought until my flight was delayed for two and a half hours. Boy, those two and a half hours were the most frustrating time of my life. I kept thinking: ‘If I could just get there somehow, if only I had my own jet, if I could only…’ When we finally left Lagos, one thing was clear: I would arrive in London at least three hours later than planned, meaning I would miss the job. As I contacted my booker to inform him, I felt disappointed, but definitely not sad. How can I be when I’m at the most fulfiling stage of my career so far? I know more jobs will come, so I am not worried. Later that day as I unpack my bags – which doesn’t help how I’m feeling – with the job I missed still on my mind, I know that I have to once again face the difficult tasks involved in my career: the castings; the jobs; the networking… Only this time, I expect it to be even more challenging. latest 7 17

Preston Manor opened its doors again to visitors on 1 April 2008. The Manor will be open until 30 September 2008 on Tuesday – Saturday 10am–5pm, Sunday 2-–5pm, closed Monday (including bank holidays). Just outside the centre of Brighton, Preston Manor evokes the atmosphere of an Edwardian gentry home both upstairs and downstairs and is also reputed to be the most haunted house in Brighton. Visitors can explore more than 20 rooms over four floors, from the elegant family drawing room and bedrooms to the servants’ quarters, kitchens and butler’s pantry. The Manor was home to the Stanford family for 138 years and the last member of the family to live there was Ellen Thomas-Stanford. On her death in 1932, the house and contents were left to the Corporation of Brighton (now Brighton & Hove City Council). Preston Manor is an Artists Open House during the Fringe Festival in May and also hosts regular events including Ghost Tours.

BRIGHTON FESTIVAL 2008
The final countdown
Medeski, Martin and Wood
Exhausted? Well take a deep breath and a good look at the highlights of the final week of the Festival We’re into the final week of the Brighton Festival. Hopefully you’ve had some fun in the sun at some of the fabulous events. Now is your last chance to squeeze in something, but don’t despair as there are still some great Festival events that shouldn’t be missed:
Theatre Story of a Rabbit comes to Brighton from an award-winning run in Edinburgh (First Fringe 2007). It’s a beautiful and curiously uplifting celebration of life's one certainty - death. With music, banter and unbridled theatrical invention, the irrepressible Hugh Hughes and his best friend Aled walk a twitching tightrope between tragedy and comedy as they lift the lid on life's final mystery. Story of a Rabbit will be at Brighton Dome’s Pavilion Theatre from Tuesday 20 to Saturday 24 May, times vary
Music An exclusive Brighton Festival event sees New York City's indefatigable jazz organ trio Medeski, Martin and Wood – a major name on the iconic Blue Note jazz label – perform alongside Brazilian percussion legend Airto Moreira – who has collaborated with the likes of Miles Davis, Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock – in their first ever UK visit outside London. With signature Hammond-led jazz grooves plus a one-off Medeski special performed on Brighton Dome's concert organ, it's blast-off time for the outer reaches of the MMW cosmos. MMW will be at Brighton Dome’s Concert Hall on Saturday 24 May at 8pm.
Dance Chunky Move is a unique digital dance encounter. The audience looks down in Fabrica Gallery onto the floor below where a dancer controls music, lighting and animation simply by moving. A digital landscape is generated in real time, with the body’s gestures extended by and in turn manipulating the surrounding video world. Glow the latest genre-defying dance installation from Australia's Chunky Move unleashes a brave new world of mind-bending technology and pulsing choreography. But, as body, light, movement and graphics
Wendy Cope
Story of a Rabbit
meld into one organic entity, dimensions are blurred. Shadows arise to stalk their creator. Light dissects space. Form confounds vision. Chunky Move is at Fabrica Gallery on Friday 23 to Sunday 25 May, times vary.
Books and debate Described by Nicholas Tredell as a 'jet-age Tennyson' and often lauded in the same hushed tones as Larkin and Betjeman, Wendy Cope made her mark on the literary landscape as a pitch-perfect English humourist with her sharply parodic debut Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis (1984). Chosen by listeners in a BBC Radio 4 poll to succeed Ted Hughes as Poet Laureate in 1998, she is as popular with her public as she is revered by the critics. Wendy Cope will be at Brighton Dome’s Corn Exchange on Saturday 24 May at 3pm.
Family friendly Roadworks have never been so entertaining! In this new Brighton Festival co-commission from the Bureau of Silly Ideas you can kick up a fuss or simply stand aghast at the sheer silliness of it all. Free Installation on Thursday 22 May to Saturday 24 May at 12pm–6pm and Sunday 11.30 am–4.30pm. Free Performances on Saturday 24 May at 2pm, 6pm and 9.30pm This year the Big Splash kicks off in Celtic style in association with Festival of Fools, Belfast's International Street Festival, with premieres and exclusives from the cream of British and Irish street art talent. The fantastical and improbable are unleashed in two-days of high-octane aqua entertainment, including a Sunday night firework spectacular. Sunday 25 May 1pm till dusk. Free evening show and fireworks 8.30pm. Monday 26 May, 1pm–6pm Every year the perennial Festival Ceilidh sends the Festival off in style with a whoop and a holler and a foot-stomping do-si-do! This year is no exception and there’ll be reels, polkas, jigs and hornpipes to get even the most confirmed wallflower on their toes. Festival Ceilidh is on Sunday 25 May at 7pm in Brighton Dome’s Corn Exchange Tickets: £10, children £7, family ticket £30 (two adults and two children). For tickets for all events please call 01273 709709 or book online www.brightonfestival.org

ROYAL PAVILION
cals Half price for lo take
Green fingers Don’t miss Gardens Week at the Royal Pavilion from 24 May – 1 June One of the country’s few authentic Regency gardens, the grounds at the Royal Pavilion in Brighton were restored back to the original Regency design created by John Nash in the aftermath of the great storm of 1987. Nash’s scheme at Brighton heralded a significant change in landscape gardening, from the formal and symmetrical shapes of the mid 1800s towards more natural landscapes intended to evoke the beauty and simplicity of the British countryside. In contrast to the dramatic opulence of the Royal Pavilion itself, the gardens have a subtle charm, with curving pathways and thickly planted beds full of historically accurate trees, shrubs and flowers. Registered as Grade II by English Heritage, these organically tended gardens are a popular yet peaceful haven in the heart of Brighton and Hove. Gardens Week 2008 is a week long celebration of these beautiful gardens and indeed all things bright and beautiful at the Royal Pavilion. A packed programme of enjoyable and educational events is planned and includes something for everyone – from the garden enthusiast to families with children.

ALFRESCO DINING
Food’s out for summer The sun has got his hat on and that means we’re going outside to eat. Just hope that it doesn’t rain... Food from Two consecutive days of dry weather and Santiago sunny skies and we Brits declare summer open and want to eat out. And why not – there are some things that simply taste better when sat in the open air. For men, it’s the start of the BBQ season, and very soon Brighton’s gardens will be littered with men wearing comedy aprons, burning sausages and undercooking chicken. If barbecues are your thing then go to a good butcher and get their advice. Personally I precook chicken in the oven and simply finish it on the grill to get the full effect but without the risk of food poisoning. Not that I barbecue often; frankly life is too short and I would rather go out and have my dinner prepared, cooked and the washing up done by someone else. There are so many choices these days with almost every venue finding a pocket of space that they can call a terrace. I love the bustle of dining on the street and the noise of traffic and pedestrians going by is all part of the fun. If you want your alfresco dining experience to be a quieter and simpler affair, then why not seek out one of the county’s pretty, rural pubs. These days you will be hard pressed to find a ploughman’s or chicken in a basket and much more likely to find gastro delights of restaurant standard. If you do go alfresco in the country then remember to be prepared for mozzies and midges who will also be looking for a bite to eat.
Terraces
Inner city pubs can offer similar deals and you will not be raising your carbon footprint if you walk there. Check out your local and see if they have a garden lurking behind the barrels. My preferred alfresco experience has to be the picnic; raised in the frozen wastes of Lancashire, ours would often include pans of hot soup and flasks of stew. These days I go for traditional delights like raised pork pies and scotch eggs. Many of the city’s better delis will prepare a picnic to order if you haven’t the time or the inclination to do it yourself. Just remember to clean up when you leave. Now I’m off for a sandwich and a shandy – an alfresco lunch that won’t break the bank but will cheer the day.
The Regency
Brasserie Fish & Grill The Brasserie Fish & Grill is perfectly located by the cool waters of Brighton Marina. With the restaurant’s entrance wall made of floor-toceiling glass and gigantic mirrors enhancing the sense of space and light in the front bar, this is truly a majestic experience.The design of the interior makes it spacious with a high-class air. It has a cruise-ship feel to go with the inspired nautical theme. The Brasserie Fish pride themselves on good service with an air of old fashion. The menu of seafood dishes and variety of marine creaturesmake for varied dining.This summer why not experience the fine dining menu outside on the waterfront decking? With no compromise on the table service and layout you will find that this al fresco dining experience can only enhance your dining experience while you take in the sights of Brighton Marina. Starters include a huge bowl full of moules provencale (fresh mussels cooked in garlic, onion and tomato £6.50) chunky scallops braised with shallots (£7.50) and even lobster bisque (£4.50). Recommended mains include the oven-baked sea bass with rosemary and black pepper, £16.95, and monkfish escalopes braised with shallots and cherry tomatoes, £16.95. For the extravagant customer, there’s a whole lobster thermidor for £28.50. Many of the puddings are homemade and all cost £4.95. The Brasserie Fish & Grill, 3A The Waterfront, Brighton Marina.

The Regency is Brighton’s oldest and most popular seafood restaurant on the seafront. The restaurant is a grade II listed building and was originally built as the palatial seaside home of Thomas Coutts, the founder of Coutts bank, at the early part of the 18th century, so that his wife could eat her favourite dish of king prawns looking out at the sea. When Mr Coutts died, leaving his wife Harriet the richest woman in Europe she remarried the Duke of St Albans and they lived at the house throwing lavish parties by the the seaside. It was turned in to a restaurant in 1930. The building still maintains all its original features as chosen by Harriet Coutt. You can still eat your king prawns in garlic sauce, fresh lobster and crab, calamari and seafood pasta. The range of seafood is out of this world. Sitting outside you can gaze out at sea and over what is left of the West Pier and transport yourself to another bygone era. 131 Kings Road, Brighton.

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD&DRINK
Room with a view Andrew Kay goes for a mid-week break at Drakes Hotel on Brighton seafront
I was recently a guest at a locally organised symposium on how Brighton sees itself as a resort and how it professionally projects that image. It was a well-run affair despite the fact that the first speaker Robyn Archer managed, in her first breaths, to offend almost every person in the room. She certainly gave a good impression that she had no knowledge of our city, nor had she read any of the material sent to her in advance of the event, including this esteemed publication. She declared that we needed a listings magazine and a refurb of our museums. Humbug Miss Archer, open your eyes and smell the ozone. She also declared our hotels shabby and not altogether clean. Well I don’t know where she stayed but I find that hard to believe since the advent of Brighton’s boutique hotel culture and the arrival of some very smart newcomers over the last six years. Standards have certainly risen and although there may be a few who let the side down, there are many who do the opposite and champion us as an international resort. If we need to look at anything we need to look at parking and access, a comment that many locals at the event brought up and one that the interlopers failed to understand. Of course few of us ever get to stay in Brighton’s hotels because we already live here. It’s a great pity as Brighton must be one of the country’s sexiest resorts, if not Europe’s. It’s little wonder that Brighton has gained the reputation of being the dirty weekend capital of the UK. Some of you may resent that idea but facts have to be faced and this city owes much of its success to a tolerance of hedonism and excess, why do so many of us visit and never ever leave – it’s not the pebbly beach that’s for sure.
Drakes certainly hits the spot, real luxury and utterly discreet service, nothing was too much trouble but we were left to enjoy our stay in peace. Those of us who live here deny ourselves the pleasures that so many thousands of visitors enjoy year round in the city. Great hotels, an excellent museum, great food, brilliant entertainment, bars, pubs, culture and yes, a pebbly beach. I suggest that Ms Archer was in a bad mood or simply had her eyes and mind firmly closed. If Brighton was not to her liking, then I suggest she bugger off back to Liverpool or Sydney as there are plenty of us here who know how to make the most of Brighton, Britain’s capital of cool – the sexiest seaside resort and a cultural high spot that needs little advice from a diminutive chanteuse from Down Under. I urge you all to go out and give one of our hotels a trial, unlike London where weekend breaks are far more competitively priced, Brighton’s hotels are less busy in the week and offers are often available. I can’t wait to do the whole thing again, even though I live only four miles along the coast. Long live the dirty weekend, even if you do have to have one mid-week Drakes 43-44, Marine Parade, Brighton, BN2 1PE, 01273 696934 www.drakesofbrighton.co.uk

A New Experience
‘‘Few of us ever get to stay in Brighton’s hotels because we live here. It’s a great pity as Brighton must be one of the country’s sexiest resorts’’
Open 12 noon - 11.30pm 7 days a week including Bank Holidays
I decided to try the place out as a tourist by booking into one of the city’s most highly sought-out boutique hotels, Drakes, which is on the seafront in Kemp Town. Drakes opened a few years back to a fanfare of publicity and one of the best parties the town had ever seen. I know because I staggered out very late indeed armed with a goodie bag that included an invitation to stay. Stupidly I never took advantage which is why I decided to make it my destination for this experiment. The experience was however not going to be complete without a close chum, so I called a friend and asked if he were available to help out, and he was. We checked in and climbed the stairs to our accommodation, a bay-fronted room on the second floor. It certainly had the wow factor: a massive bed – the size of a small tennis court – huge windows with amazing views of the sea and the pier and to make the most of the views a gigantic bath tub sat squarely in the bay. There was a large wet room, armchairs, tea and fresh coffee as well as a huge plasma screen for those with nothing more fun to entertain them. We took a brisk walk along the prom before returning and taking a long and very luxurious sea view bath. Later we went down to the bar for a first-class cocktail before heading out for the evening. We had concert tickets so missed out on dinner in Ginger Man restaurant but I have dined there many times and love the food. When we returned much later the barman was more than happy to make us another couple of drinks before we retired to bed. Next morning, refreshed and thrilled to wake up and look directly out to sea, we went downstairs and enjoyed a hearty breakfast and the papers before heading off to Devil’s Dyke and lunch at the Ginger Fox.

LIST RESTAURANTS & BARS
RESTAURANTS BRITISH (ORGANIC) CONTEMPORARY Seasons Restaurant There’s a number of reasons to eat more local, seasonal food: To reduce energy (associated CO2 emissions) needed to grow and transport foods, to avoid paying premiums for foods that are imported, to support local economy and reconnect with nature's cycles, most importantly, because seasonal food is fresher and tends to be tastier and more nutritious. 1b Waterfront, Brighton Marina, BN2 5WA.

20 – 26 May
Under review Here’s our round up of recent local shows, plus there’s oodles of Festival reviews online at www.latest7.co.uk
Clever Peter
Clever Peter Clever Peter is the twisted tales from the supposed drug-addled mind of the missing years of Enid Blyton, while the Michael York-alike voiced these funny and most bizarre skits. It’s a mixed bag of the laugh- out-loud running joke of inappropriate misreading of signals, to the unsettling tale of an ideal son whose parents can’t stand him. All in all, the best bits were a BBC3 sketch show in progress, the worst an over indulgent student show. Luckily the good far outweighed the off key. Upstairs at Three And Ten, 3 May ✌✌✌ Victoria Nangle
Flabbergast The Spiegeltent is a fantastic venue for a family show and Flabbergast didn’t disappoint. Act one was Swizzleshaker’s romp through the golden age of cinema, a deliberately low-budget tribute to the silver screen. Performed by Aila and Dave Chameleon, the audience were swept along by the pair’s energy and cheek, even when the movie references lost some of the younger ones. The kids couldn’t get enough of the glum-faced mime artist Fraser
Hooper, the star of act two. With a shrill whistle he’d summon his next victim from the audience for a lighthearted public humiliation. And they just loved it! Audience participation at its silliest and very best. The Parlure, 5 May ✌✌✌✌ Ian Trevett
Lunchtime Concert Sarah Williamson, Clarinet Catherine Milledge, Piano One of the many achievements of the Festival is the successful establishment of these lunchtime events. The season kicked off with a mixed program of Horowitz, Poulenc, Schumann, Weber; the highlight of which was the specially commissioned ‘Microsuite’ by Dominic Sewell. Dominic confided to the audience in an introduction, that ‘squeaky gate’ compositions were to be shown the red card, and has therefore produced a classically structured Sonatina of clarity and depth. Sarah Williamson demonstrated the ability and all-round composure to take this well in her stride and along with Catherine Milledge gave us a unison performance of sheer class. Pavilion Theatre 5 May ✌✌✌✌
Voodoo Vaudeville presents Club Ubu Voodoo Vaudeville presents Club Ubu is a weird and wonderful introduction to all things festivalesque. In this late night cabaret wonderland you are greeted by a very naughty Alice (with a rubber chicken) and a Mad Hatter on stilts. The craziness continues into the night with music and dance performances from an eclectic mix of entertainers. From burlesque belly dancers to comedy puppetry there is something to tickle everyone’s fancy. The international fetish clown Paisley X is certainly not to be missed. Enticing audience participation satisfies the extroverts, but don’t worry: no-one is going to force you to do the limbo. Udder Place, 2 May ✌✌✌
X Files Improv Show Leave it to the audience to come up with their own X Files episode and what happens? A perfume salesman from Harrods is possessed by an alien with bad breath! This is a case for Mulder and Scully, but we made do with computer geek Langly (Dean Haglund) who offered behind the scenes news and plenty of laughs in this improv version of the cult scifi series. The audience settled into the quirky antics Haglund offered and made this interactive show fun and memorable – an essential for fans and a must for newbies, and in David Duchovny’s absence, my better half was pulled up on stage to play Mulder! Classic. Udderbelly, 3 May ✌✌✌✌

Zara Friend
HOT REVIEW OF THE WEEK Sean Rowley presents Guilty Pleasures Gangsters with molls and wise guys with dolls the Bugsy Malone-themed cheese-fest rocked the Parlure to its wooden core. A step back in time to a more innocent day, when knowing all the words to Bon Jovi meant something and liking chart music was not ‘ironic’. With the booths full, the dancefloor packed and the bars heaving, Mr Rowley had everybody scared to sit down in case another classic was set free and they weren’t around to pay homage. Along with Stick it On, Guilty Pleasures creates a night out which thrives on the honesty of us all. We enjoy FUN music. Rock on!

Fit for kids Win family tickets to see top TV show LazyTown live at Brighton’s Theatre Royal
Frozen feud Dazzling athleticism in the Imperial Russian Ice Stars’ Sleeping Beauty on Ice Brighton is no stranger to excellent ice shows, so the arrival of this top ranking international company should be greeted with much enthusiasm. Latest 7 travelled to Paris to meet the company and see the show in advance of its Brighton engagement. Unlike many ice shows, this is a complete narrative story told in ice dance. There is no doubting the quality of the music as Tchaikovsky’s breathtakingly romantic ballet score has more than a proven record. But how will the narrative translate to ice? Extremely well on the whole. Perhaps in the first half the ice version suffers from the somewhat fragmented nature of a ballet score; the lack of fluidity in the music with many small pieces is difficult for bravura performances by ballet dancers, none long enough for ice dancers to get into their stride. But by the second half when the narrative takes over from the vignette solos, these incredible athletes really come into their own. In Paris the venue was a sports arena, uncomfortable and with no facility to employ the full settings, so the show we saw, although excellent, lacked much of what the Brighton audience will see. That said, the size of the stage was larger and one can only wonder if the performers will be able to achieve the momentum required to execute some of the incredible leaps and triple jumps that we saw in Paris. Of course that is where the line between athleticism and artistry becomes blurred. Major feats, impressive as they are, cannot carry the narrative drama. Given that the performers achieve their medalwinning international status in competition, all credit to them for also being so artistically impressive. Meeting director and producers Tony Mercer, James and Cundall gives a real insight into the pressure they are under to create something of real merit, as does talking to the stars; finding out how intense their training is, the ongoing need to remain at their peak and the sad inevitability that their career on the ice is all-too-short, with very few of them still performing after the age of 35. Touring is an exhausting business for any company, but add into the normal schedule some daily rehearsals, warm-ups and dance classes, and these guys are really putting their minds and bodies through the mill on a daily basis. So does The Sleeping Beauty translate well to ice dance? The answer has to be yes and this production bubbles with magic and energy because of it. The story works well, although look out for the rose, which in this translation replaces the spinning wheel. There are also plenty of opportunities for the company to show off their skills as athletes, as well as moments of competitive showing off which are equally entertaining. Maria Orlova plays a beautifully elegant Sleeping Beauty but perhaps the star of the show is Ilia Klimkin who, as Catalabutte, uses his skill as a skater to extraordinarily comic effect – look out for him as he speeds through the entire show. The Sleeping Beauty on Ice, Theatre Royal, Brighton. Tuesday 3-Saturday 7 June. Box Office: 08700 606 650

For the first time ever, children in Brighton have the chance to see their favourite BBC and Nick Jr. show live on stage! LazyTown is the awardwinning show of the moment and is proving a TV hit for children across the globe – it currently airs in over 100 countries. British kids can now be some of the first to have their own new stage version. LazyTown Live! is packed with moves, music, fun and a great story, all set in this amazingly colourful, fast-paced, upside down world. Stephanie, an optimistic and enthusiastic girl with bright pink hair, comes to live in LazyTown and meets a zany mix of kids and grownups, including the world’s laziest super-villain, Robbie Rotten. Fortunately for Stephanie, Sportacus, a slightly above average superhero who jumps, leaps, flips and flies his way around LazyTown in his airship is also on hand to help the townsfolk battle Robbie’s latest lazy scheme. Conceived, written and directed by the hugely talented Icelander Magnús Scheving (who also plays Sportacus in the TV show), LazyTown is the freshest show of the moment. With lessons about making healthy food choices and being physically active, the show aims to provide children with positive role models, while still being a lot of fun! LazyTown has enjoyed chart-topping ratings among four to seven-year olds, as well as a clutch of industry awards including the Best International Children’s programme BAFTA in 2006, as well as two EMMY nominations this year. Currently on BBC, CBBC, Cbeebies and Nick Jr., its theme song (‘Bing Bang Time to Dance’) also reached number four in the charts last year, sharing its top ten spot with the likes of Justin Timberlake and Beyonce. LazyTown Live! may have the laziest name on Earth, but it’s jam packed with action, energy and a powerful message that will energise and inspire children everywhere. LazyTown Live!, Theatre Royal, Brighton. Tue 27-Wed 28 May 2008, Tue 5pm, Wed 11am, 2pm and 5pm.

Dir: Leonard Abrahamson The second film from Abrahamson is a dirty little giggle. From the team behind award-winning black comedy Adam & Paul, this colloquial effort is a gentle study about a shy, middle-aged guy, from the west of Ireland, searching for love over one hot, long summer. Having won the super fancy ‘Art et Essai’ Prize at Cannes this has caused a fair few moustaches to be twiddled in recent months. After Once and Small Engine Repair, Ireland just might be the new breeding ground for the charming and wistfully kooky – Wes Anderson take note. Showing at Duke of York’s

Descent to Doom
down. We were concerned about it, but the stunt guys wanted to do this spectacular crash. It could easily have looked terrible, but they managed it. It’s an amazing performance, so I’m pleased with it.
Latest 7 talks to director Neil Marshall about his new Scots-based horror epic Doomsday
There is rumour of your next film being Eagle’s Nest. Could you tell us a bit about that? It’s kind of like my Indiana Jones movie, I guess. It’s a whole mix of things. It’s still going to be very ‘action’ at its heart; it’s always going to be an action movie. It’s sort of based on fake history, but I’ve embellished it and it’s going to be full of gratuitous deaths, I warn you.
This is a much bigger canvas than The Descent and Dog Soldiers. Did you have to develop a different skill set? It’s always different, but it’s always exactly the same. You’re still dealing with so much money to do so much work in a certain amount of time; that doesn’t change. You’re always trying to pack it in as short a time as possible; those sorts of logistics don’t change. All that changes is that the numbers are bigger: the numbers of extras or the amount of money you spend. But in all honesty, I loved the scale of it. After being in a cave all the time... To be honest, it wasn’t a nightmare being stuck in a cave with six girls. But just to be out and dealing with a bigger canvas was such a pleasure as a director. Your first two films were horror, while Doomsday is a genre mashup in a way. Are you thinking you’ll stay close to horror? We’ll see on an individual, project-by-project basis, but I think inherently I’m always going to have a bit of splat in my movies. I like that. But I have various projects in various genres; the common link is that they’re essentially action-based. That’s what I love directing, and watching. The Descent and Doomsday both focus on women venturing into perilous situations. Do you think it’s important that the heroes in your films are women? It’s not some kind of career plan, it just turned out that way. I actually wrote the story for Doomsday several years before I made The Descent. It was one of three scripts I tried to get made in the wake of The Descent and it was the one that Rogue Pictures chose to back, so it’s just a coincidence that my new hero is a woman, and I saw no reason to change the character to a man just because of what I’d done previously. Most post-apocalyptic movies nowadays feature monsters (28 days Later, I Am Legend). Are you consciously trying to reclaim postapocalyptic movies from the monster-movie genre? Absolutely! It’s like there’s an unspoken rule in movies now that virus = zombies! Well that’s not what post-apocalyptic movies are about for me. It should be about human survival, because the day the next big global pandemic arrives, there won’t be any zombies running around, I can tell you that. This is real, terrifying stuff, just as real as nuclear war was when the last great post apocalyptic movies came out. And that’s the kind of gritty, savage world I’m trying to revisit with this movie. What is the most challenging practical thing you had to deal with? We built these two armoured personnel carriers – like six-ton armoured tank things – and the scene involves crashing one and turning it upside-
Also showing… A quick look at this week’s releases Forgetting Sarah Marshall (12A) Dir: Nicholas Stoller The latest in this year’s bunch of films produced by Knocked Up/Superbad man Judd Apatow is a lighthearted comedy turning its producer’s usual trick of blending chick-flick and gross-out. Jason Segel plays the heartbroken Peter, dumped by titular TV star girlfriend (played by Kristen Bell) and decides to go on holiday to Miami to get over her. Unfortunately for him, Sarah and new boyfriend, Blighty’s own Russell Brand, turn up on a holiday of their own. With cameo appearances by Apatow regular Jonah Hill, gross-out jobber Paul Rudd and Family Guy’s Meg (Mila Kunis), it’s a strong comedy cast. A now notorious naked break-up scene and the promise of a nice mix of low and high brow comedy ensures this should be another interesting step on the career path of Brand, Segel and Apatow. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon Happy-Go-Lucky (15) Dir: Mike Leigh It’s been a while (four years) since Mike Leigh’s last cinematic outing, and maybe the break’s cheered him up a little. Lightening the tone after
a career that has included the unrelentingly grim Naked and acclaimed drama Vera Drake, Happy-Go-Lucky follows easy-going primary teacher Poppy’s daily life. Played by Tipping The Velvet’s Sally Hawkins, after her bike is stolen, Poppy takes up driving lessons, then flamenco, smiling all the way. Almost uncharacteristically upbeat, if early reviews are anything to go by, this should further confirm Leigh’s status as one of Britain’s best living directors. Showing at Worthing and Odeon Iron Man (12A) Dir: Jon Favreau Iron Man is one of the less likeable superheroes. Let’s face it: an arrogant, billionaire weapons developer was never going to be as charming as geeky kid Peter Parker. Still, it’s exactly this anti-hero appeal that makes Iron Man a fascinating choice for a blockbuster. Adding to the ‘interesting’ factor is edgy thesp Robert Downey Jr playing the billionaire in question, Tony Stark, and Swingers/Friends star turned rom-com director Jon Favreau helming the production. Downey Jr’s businessman is nearly offed in Afghanistan by his rival. Forced to use his scientific genius
to both stay alive and escape from his captors, he creates a metal suit of electronic armour and Iron Man is born. Co-starring Jeff Bridges and Gwyneth Paltrow, the first blockbuster of the summer lands the first blow. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon Speed Racer (PG) Dir: Andy and Larry Wachowski Imagine the meeting the Wachowski brothers must have had with their studio after the success of the Matrix trilogy: “What do you want to do next, boys?”, “Maybe a live action version of the old Japanese cartoon Speed Racer, about a boy racing driver, but make it look like the Super Nintendo game F-Zero. We’ll give John Goodman a silly moustache and everything.” An odd choice for a followup, this is squarely aimed at the Spy Kids market of visually striking action for all the family and should be a hit whatever. Emile Hirsch, of Into The Wild fame, plays our hero Speed and vies with the spectacular CGI for attention. Showing at Cineworld, Odeon and Worthing XXY (15) Dir: Lucia Puenzo Argentine debut director Puenzo skilfully tells the tale of fifteen-year-old Alex, a girl living as a recluse with her father by the Uruguay coast. A complex look at friendship, family and gender, this has garnered widespread acclaim
XXY
and provides an interesting, emotional alternative to the blockbuster onslaught just setting in. Showing at Duke of York’s Underdog (U) Dir: Frederick Du Chau Based on a sixties whacked-out cartoon, this silly mixture of live action and CG animation features My Name is Earl/Alvin and the Chipmunks star Jason Lee as the voice of lovable bassett hound superhero Shoeshine.

10-year-old Suzie Gilburt gives us the lowdown from the Brighton Children’s Book Festival Hello, my name is Suzie, where shall I start? What about the beginning? Yes! That’s where I shall start. So I have decided to tell you what I did the other Sunday. We went to this sort of book fair or inspirational talk and stayed there for four and a half hours, it was interesting, although my little tiger (tiger bag) looked very bored and obviously hungry. Marc (one of my mum’s friends who also is a famous vet on the telly) and my mum and I went to this sort of talk thing or whatever it was. Mum and I jumped out of our car all excited and happy and merrily waved goodbye to dad and Alisha (my sister), so we were still all happy and joyful until we came to the door… One, it was locked, two, there was no buzzer or doorbell, three, when you tapped on the shiny windows nobody would look up, four, everything else you can think of about trying to get into somewhere when you can’t. Miraculously someone looked up and showed us where the proper door was. I was really disappointed when mum and I realised that we were waiting at the wrong door for about 10 minutes. The man who looked up came outside and politely led us into the building. When we had finished registering, we asked if Marc was in the theatre bit, she replied, yes! And so we went into the theatre bit, except mum’s high heels were a bit noisy which distracted everybody for a few seconds. We finally found Marc up near the top and tiptoed towards him, we sat down and looked around, but it wasn’t what I had expected it to be like! There was no screen! Still, it was a very interesting hour with lots of new stuff learnt. When an hour had passed by, a new woman came in and she looked a bit like J.K Rowling. It was a lot of a shock at first because I actually thought it was J.K Rowling but it was Michelle Magorian. I’ve never seen Michelle Magorian before and I was really inspired by her talk, during lunch break mum let me buy one of her books, it’s called Just Henry. I’m still reading Just Henry now and It’s an amazing book that’s very detailed. It’s all about this boy called Henry but I won’t tell you any more stuff. Hee hee hee! You’ll have to read the book yourself to find out more, and I advise you to buy it because it’s my best book EVER! Anyway, she also had this other book with this girl called Rusty in it and I really like the name Rusty because the girl in the book had ginger hair and so have I, so that’s what my nickname will be when I am a teenager. Although my dad doesn’t like it because it’s like a rusty bike but my mum likes it because it’s cool and not only that, my grandpa is all ready calling me Rusty. He also calls my mum Fuzzy because her hair is always in messy curls and he also calls my Uncle David – Badger!...I am going to go now because my fingers hurt from typing, so goodbye!

The American Fear Pam Glew is a contemporary British artist who manipulates images of female icons in horror films as can be seen at a couple of exhibitions as part of the Brighton Festival Fringe. With the Fear series, she plays with our notion of paranoia, attraction and the ‘American Dream’. The portraits often portray vacuous beauty, within a compellingly seductive image. Her addiction to obscure horror films, dissecting images of women and her attraction to being scared has fuelled this extensive series of work. She frequently uses materials that have inherent history; vintage American flags, aged metal and antiqued books are used as a canvas and treated with ink, bleach, stitch, ammonia and spray-paint to achieve an aesthetic which pays homage to both street art and confessional art.

STAND-UP COMEDY
A laughing matter Victoria Nangle notices that being a comic is often a 24-hour lifestyle choice, especially during the festival It’s the last week of the Brighton Festival and Fringe. Ahhh. I’m both sorry and relieved. I’ll miss the multitude of shows to catch every night, but I’m kinda looking forward to meeting up with my long lost friend sleep, too. But this is something full-time comics are used to. Especially at that highly busy time just before they give up the day job for good. Comics, like musicians and actors and all the other creatives, start out with a passion and a day job. The job pays the rent and the passion feeds the soul. And as the passion grows so do the hours it demands to be fed with, whether that’s gigging, travelling (that takes up oodles of hours), or promotion. Only last year Paul Sinha – already been on the telly, had one-man show at the Paramount Comedy Festival, established circuit man – was still paying dues to the day job by locuming around the South East (he’s a qualified doctor). He’s now in full-time funniness, but at that point he’d work a full day, go on a radio show to be interviewed about his comedy, zip off to do a show a train-ride away, and still have to get home in time to set his alarm to get up and start the whole thing off again. It’s brutal time-keeping, and one I’d seriously question as to whether I could keep up with. I’ll just have to cross that bridge if and when I saunter up to it.
“Come festival time, the town is invaded by people who are getting a glimpse of their dream” Festival time is the closest I get to that non-stop, 24-hour immersion-in-a-passion place. And I invariably get ill. Maybe that’s why comics always seem to be dashing off immediately after they’ve been on stage. They can’t afford to turn this into their social lives, as well as everything else. But to have that passion as your full-time occupation is always the goal. Maybe that’s why it’s called the new rock’n’roll – dreams fulfiled and all that. And why there’s always such a buzz, come festival time, wherever you are, as the town is populated and invaded by people who are getting a glimpse of their dream, or even living it already. With that much personal buzz going on it’s no wonder the vibe of the place goes a bit doo-lalley. Along with personal exhaustion from performers and punters alike from the sheer number of shows about. Keep it paced right and – finger crossed – you’ll survive the month. Hopefully we’ve all been very careful with the fantastic shows on offer throughout the month of May, and still have energy and funds for the gems that sweep along and tidy up in this, the last week of the festivities. You can live the dream of performing or watching lots of shows without collapsing. If you’re careful. Good luck.
☺
Stand-up wisdom: “Five-year-old boys. The only time in your life when your coat and bag is bigger than your body mass.” Geoff Norcott
LIVE COMEDY PICK OF THE WEEK
Off the Cuff – Le Cirque De Improv After all the star-spotting and backslapping and wallet-emptying shows, here’s a homegrown talented group full to the brim with improvising talent at a reasonable price and with your pick of which night you go to. This ensemble of comedy folk will play a number of games, following the rough structure of the old show Whose Line is it Anyway? by taking suggestions from the audience to kick off each section. It’s easy to get as involved – or not – as you like, plus it’s a chance to see comedy in motion being made up on the spot by this young but established troupe. 23, 24, 25 May, 8pm, £5/4, Hare & Hounds 36 latest 7

Write club John Davies takes an Illustrated Moment to discuss a newly penned reflection on Brighton The Illustrated Brighton Moment is a Jansford collection of moments recorded or invented by the city’s writers, from Nicky (Feather Boy) Singer to David (Cheeky Guide) Bramwell, Carole (Ladies of Letters) Hayman to Chris Paling, Sue (Gwen John) Roe to Nick (The Uncanny) Royle. In all, 25 writers provide a glimpse into their craft and create a mosaic of short pieces. Brighton in bits, you might say. The moments collected here are in the words of one of the editors, novelist Susannah Jones: “That moment when you’re going about your business or pleasure and something or someone pulls you up short. You hear yourself thinking, with a smile or a grimace: only in Brighton”. Certain pieces stand out with a brilliant sparkle. Jeff Noon’s moment of adolescent self-knowledge in 1962 (“You’re just making your dreams happen as you can from a few ragged scraps of small town life”), and David Bramwell’s hilarious Novelty Acts for the Broken-Hearted. Some pieces add a new historical dimension. Shock Waves by Rose Collis and Nicky Singer’s affecting Brighton 1890s-style. (“Board of control meeting, May 4 1932. Chairman, we wish to register our alarm at the large number of mental defectives which are being imported into Brighton.”). `Steve Wilson Annabel Giles and Peter Guttridge raise a smile or two. In the longest piece in the collection Marian Garvey depicts An Afternoon – edgy with squabbling children after a long journey and a hovering feeling of foreboding. The Illustrated Brighton Moment isn’t illustrated in the usual sense of the word, as picture editor Lawrence Zeegen points out in his intro. The pictures from a range of Brighton ablest illustrators stand on their own and don’t illustrate the writers’ moments as such, although they generate a dialogue between word and image. This is a collection for tourist and inhabitant alike, giving a profile of Brighton’s psychology, its spirit of place. Every reader will have favourite pieces but I particularly liked the rhythm of Marek Kohn’s Down Town, Alison MacLeod’s Under the Minarettes which packs a tremendous amount into six pages, and CJ (Matthew Shardlake) Sansom’s historical contemplation of the Lewes medic-cum-paleontologist, Gideon Mantell. One piece deserves special mention. Dave Swann’s moment gets under the skin of Britain’s most poetic city like no one else’s. He captures the tawdry violence that’s as common as the seagulls that feature in at least three other moments. It’s the last piece in the book and well worth waiting for. Everything else leads up to it, like the knife in the ribs. Without spoiling the story for you, the theme of his piece is humiliation. It’s a moment of pure honesty and fear. The Brighton Moment was also a totally enjoyable sell-out event at Komedia as part of the main Brighton Festival programme on 5 May. Well done to the festival for supporting local talent and well done to the talent who gave all proceeds from this highly entertaining show to support Brighton Housing Trust. You can enjoy an evening with one of the contributors to The Brighton Moment with crime novelist Peter James on Friday 23 May at 7:30pm at The Ropetackle Centre, Shoreham. Charleston Festival is running all week, so check www.charleston.org.uk for all events and activities. Hanif Kureishi is at the Corn Exchange as part of Brighton Festival on Tuesday 20 May 7:30pm Billy Cowie, best known for his films and 3D installations made with artiste Liz Aggiss, is launching Passenger his first novel at Borders Bookstore, Churchill Square, Wednesday 21 May, 6:30pm, free.

MUSIC REVIEWS A weekly review of local and national releases Spearheading the nuBohemian folk movement Johnny Flynn has just recently become the first UK artist to ever be signed to legendary American label Lost Highway (home to Johnny Cash, Ryan Adams etc). Debut album A Larum is a brilliant collection of old school folk flavours with hints of blues and country. Somehow it sounds both dated and timeless – a towering achievement. Stockholm quintet Shout Out Louds have come up with an excellent follow up to their debut album; Our Ill Wills has been produced by ‘sixth member’ Bjorn Yttling (of peter, Bjorn and John), and you can hear echoes of The Cure The Swedish musical march continues with El Perro Del Mar. From the Valley to the Stars is the second album from this eccentric singer (aka Sarah Assbring), a concept work revealing her reflections on the idea of heaven. It’s a melancholy, stripped back lounge affair where Robert Wyatt meets The Beach Boys with old school funk and soul. Signed to Pharrell Williams’ Star Trak label and produced by The Neptunes. The Ethiopian born American singer songwriter Kenna has just released his second album, Make Sure They See My Face. An at times dense, but ultimately melodic work that musically scratches around the edges; but is foremost propelled by the distinctive hip hop/funk beats of the production team. An inventive and successful fusion of styles. Best known for their ‘California’ song a few years back (which made it on The O.C.), Phantom Planet have move away from their power pop roots to a more alt-rock proposition. Clever song writing, an experimental approach and a desire to stay fresh have earned them a deserved cult reputation. New album Raise the Dead feels like a rollicking Dandy Warholesque rollercoaster ride of fractured melodic pop nuggets wrapped up in crunchy peanut butter and sometimes fused with the melancholy of Radiohead. Whether frantic art-rock can be considered ‘honourable’ depends on your ability to take it in the ears. We Are The Physics are an acquired taste whether or not they are any good… as a reviewer though I end up subjecting my poor eardrums to severe ear bashing.

Elsewhere in Brighton the weekend clubbers were handing out notes and having their entry stamped and verified. Instead, we tried a little summer distraction in the basement bubble of noise with Southern Fried Mobile Disco featuring Dave Spoon, Cagedbaby and Rochelle live, kicking out acid house with bite on Audio’s über sound system. Summer of Love is free, like a house party but better! With international DJs so highly sought-after, even their wives set mobile reminders of their arrival and there’s no danger of being sent to the local offy for some top-up bottles. Back home one toilet attendant in particular has invited me to meet her family, she’s great but I begrudge paying £5 entry each week to spend it locked in a sober dance-off in the toilet queue! So you must understand the importance of the clubbers’ equation, like a head-rocking cocktail it requires a careful blend of drink, people and toilets. A room painted in sweat and teaming with invisible men with glow-sticks should equal long queues for toilets and bars. However, with some simple addition of three bars heavily backed with staff and an abundance of well-lit toilets with oodles of preening space, the equation equals an opportunity to seriously test the bar’s selection with only a five minute maximum queue for the toilets. Are you better when you’re sober? Head on upstairs and find out, rack out a game of pool or two in the warming glow of the blazing screen. In a true shock experience, I polished the end of my cue as I cleared up nicely. No, not better and sober, I am the guru of loaded pool playing! Enjoy a lazy summer evening in Above Audio by starting a little romance with the relaunched cocktail menu – how very cosmopolitan of you – or venture out to the heated terrace and dream a little of Paris in the night air. Audio’s cutting-edge celebration of 20 years of dance music is truly some love shared; it would only be impolite to look this gift horse in the mouth, do you not agree?

It’s camp, it’s trashy – it can only be the Eurovision Song Contest HIV and sexual health charity, Terrence Higgins Trust is urging Eurovision Song Contest fans to hold a Eurovision party to raise funds for the charity. The event takes place on Saturday 24 May and is being filmed live by the BBC in Belgrade, Serbia. The Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) is giving out Eurovision party packs to people holding a party on the big night to raise funds for the sexual health charity. “If you’re planning on watching Eurovision, why not get some of your mates round and make a
party of it,” says Simon Whiteman, Community Fundraising Manager at Terrence Higgins Trust. “You can raise money by charging for entry or charging people who want to take part in the quiz. The money raised will all go towards THT’s vital work supporting people living with or affected by HIV. Our party pack will make sure your night goes with a boom-bang-a-bang.” The pack contains a CD of karaoke hits so guests can re-live the glory days of Bucks Fizz's 'Making Your Mind Up' or Sonia's
'Better The Devil You Know'. If the vocal cords aren't up to it anymore, there's a quiz to separate the Eurovision die-hards from the fair-weather friends. Also included are Terry Wogan masks for guests and national flag cocktail sticks as well as more ideas to make the night a success. What more could you ask for? If you’d like a Eurovision Party Pack to help plan your night please contact Simon on 020 7812 1668 or email simon.whiteman@tht.org.uk for further information.
AIDS Memorial official launch The Brighton AIDS Memorial was officially launched recently as politicians, charities and stakeholders and the media were invited to Jubilee Library to witness the formal launch of the much talked about sculpture.

remember loved ones lost to HIV and AIDS. “The idea behind the sculpture has been a very much cross-party political affair,” said Simon Burgess, Chair. “Everyone has come on board, the money is raised and importantly the planning permission has now been finalised. I’m grateful to council officers who have helped us ensure a successful application.”
Simon Burgess (Chairman of Brighton AIDS Memorial Consultation Group and the Labour Parliamentary Candidate for Kemp Town), Paula Murray (Head of Arts and Creative Brighton Council), Lib Dem Cllr Paul Elgood, artist Romany Bruce and Alan McCarthy (Chief Executive of Brighton and Hove City Council)
With just over eleven weeks to go, it’s time to register your float, book a stall at Preston Park or arrange an event for Brighton Pride 2008. Registration for the Carnival and Parade opened a few weeks ago, and this year’s theme being ‘Pride Around the World’ has already provoked some great ideas. “Themes for the Parade that have already been taken include: Greece, Brazil, Paris, Australia and Britain, so sorry if you’re thinking of entering any of these cities,” says Judith Manson, Brighton Pride’s Communications Manager. “However, there are still plenty of countries and cities to choose from. “Last year the Carnival Parade saw nearly 50 entries, and with the effort of individuals and local organisations it was one of the most spectacular parades so far.” Dates to remember include: Register your Pride fundraising event by Friday 30 May. Apply for a council grant for support of your activity on the big day by Friday 23 May. Book a community stall at Preston Park by Sunday 1 June. Carnival Parade applications by Monday 26 May to be included in the workshops. If you are interested in running a fundraising event, joining the parade, having a stall in the park or maybe just to volunteer your services for stewarding for example, please contact the Pride office: 01273 775939 or email: office@brightonpride.org for more information.

William Tells Will Harris takes an aviated flight of fancy, but realises all is not golden
Wildfruit
Brightonians don't need much of an excuse to get down and dirty – in the nicest possible way of course. Wild Fruit Sleaze was all the encouragement required to ensure that boys, girls and everyone in between came dressed to thrill. Sleaze obviously means different things to different people... but mostly it seemed to mean tight PVC, plenty of flesh and a party attitude. The Fruit residents were joined by the fabulous DJ Steve Pitron, a live PA from Sugababes founding member Mutya Buena and by a super seductive floor show from Mr Haywood's Goloka!

Amsterdam Bar and Bistro
Connie's Karaoke offers the perfect opportunity for a sociable evening with friends to meet up and unwind after a long week – with the added bonus of being able to get up and have a go at one of your favourite little numbers! Even the bar staff give it a go, so there's no excuse not to get on your feet and become an entertainer for the night! Sundays are for singing if Connie has anything to do with it!

They say that every man has his price. I wonder if it’s equally true that every gay man has a maximum distance he will travel to have sex with a pilot. In my case it was 41 miles, which Google reliably informs me is the distance between Brighton and Richmond (and some people say I don’t do enough research for this column!). It was a first date in two ways: a) the first time I’d met The Pilot, a friend of a friend who – as you might guess from the catchy moniker – flies planes for a living; and b) the first date I’d been on since breaking up with my boyfriend a month previous. I briefly wondered if this technically made it a double date, then remembered I was the only one going on it. Ok, I know a month wasn’t the longest time to wait before throwing myself back into the dating pool, and I could sit here pontificating for hours about how “time is a great healer”, etc, etc (question: if time is that great a healer, why do people exposed to large amounts of it always end up dead?), but all the whys and wherefores can ultimately be whittled down into three little words: I was horny. So off I went to Richmond, a spring in my step, a fresh coat of spray-tan on my body and a brand new pair of aviators perched on my head (it seemed an appropriate choice). I was surprised to find I wasn’t
“I wanted to be back in Brighton, on my own, eating pork chops and watching zombie movies” as nervous as I used to be before first dates, either because I’m slightly older and wiser now, or because somewhere inside I knew it wasn’t going to be anything more than a casual thing. The date itself was fine, as these things go: sunshine on the river, endless bottles of wine, and all the stuff that comes after. The next day he made me scrambled eggs for breakfast and we sat and watched two episodes of The Golden Girls, while we heard children’s voices on the street outside. Any other time, it would have been better than fine; perhaps it would even have been great. Except my heart wasn’t in it. While I was outwardly laughing at the antics of Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and Sophia (look me in the eye and tell me time’s healed their wounds!), inside I was silently counting down the minutes until I could feasibly make an escape without being rude. Something was suffocating me, and – even now – I’m still not sure if it was the heat, the city or the situation. I wanted to be back in Brighton, on my own, eating pork chops and watching zombie movies (two things I was never allowed to do in the presence of my ex). I wanted to be single in its purest sense. I’m trying not to see this as a portent of bad things to come but, as I asked myself on the long train back down to single life and the freedom of the sea, if a hot pilot can’t get a rise out of me, what chance does anyone else have?

She says it how she sees it
The F Word Channel 4, Tuesday 9pm You either love Gordon Ramsay or you hate him. Which makes me wonder whether he highly disapproves of Marmite, considering he can be described in the same way. Well if you like him, the return of The F Word is good news and if you hate him, you can avoid Channel 4 for an hour every Tuesday evening. Now if you get confused by the never ending array of Gordon Ramsay shows, The F Word is the one set in one of his restaurants. He has celebrities join him, who he then tries to beat in the task of cooking their favourite meal. Janet Street-Porter is back, showing us what we spend our lives avoiding – the truth behind the food we eat. Although I like The F Word, Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares is my favourite Gordon show. I don’t feel he gets angry enough in The F Word. There are not enough opportunities for him to slap the back of one hand onto the other and be abusive and rude. The F Word, as well as having celebrities cook and eat, also has teams of people trying their best to win the title of best chefs. Each series has had a bit of a theme, last year he started the search for a new Fanny Craddock, which, for want of a better word, was interesting. Hundreds of women sending in video clips of themselves cooking while trying their hardest to look sexy at the same time! Well this series Gordon is devoting himself to getting people back in their kitchens, cooking good healthy food. I think that perhaps Gordon has gone a bit soft (perhaps having an accident with Jamie Oliver), and now can’t help himself – preaching with the good food brigade! If Gordon does go all soft, I will boycott him. How many more people do we need to listen too who spend their time telling us how easy it is to grow your own vegetables, buy everything else organic and after a hard day at work, get home and spend ages pulling up the veg, cleaning it, preparing it, cooking it and then eating it? When will people realise this? After you have been stuck in the office all day, you don’t want to spend all night creating some super healthy feast that probably tastes like all other super-healthy food – a bit odd! I do hope Gordon doesn’t start preaching. That would spoil his image. To be honest though, I like watching what he cooks but I wouldn’t eat half of it!
Films on TV
20-26 May
Movies on the box this week
TUESDAY 20
SATURDAY 24
This Happy Breed ★★★★✩ (1944, Film Four, 5.15pm. Dir David Lean) The lives of characters who Noel Coward would describe as ‘ordinary Britons’ come under the microscope in this lively family drama spanning the gap between the world wars. A real hit for audiences left reeling in the postwar period and a fascinating bit of social history now.
An Officer and a Gentleman
WEDNESDAY 21
★★★✩✩ (1982, Channel 4, 10.50pm. Dir Taylor Hackford) Richard Gere (then in his heart-throb prime) and Debra Winger get lifted up where they belong for a muchspoofed romantic movie that was a huge hit in Reagan’s America. Gere plays a handsome would-be pilot machoing his way through basic training and somehow keeping perfectly coiffed for the ladies.
Two For The Road ★★★✩✩
The Hard Way ★★★✩✩
(1967, Sky Movies Classics, 7pm. Dir Stanley Donen) Audrey Hepburn skips into the sixties sporting a truly bizarre wardrobe for a modish tale of marriage gone awry. She stars as the beau of architect Albert Finney, and through some tricksy filmmaking we discover how the couple met, and when their relationship started to go wrong.
(1991, BBC1 , 11.35pm. Dir John Badham) Michael J Fox is an indulged veteran of action flicks who goes all method acting by hooking up with grizzled ‘tec James Woods in a smart comedy crime thriller. Along the way there are plenty of nifty sideswipes at Hollywood, plus Fox doing his best to explode the ‘nice guy’ image that dogged him throughout the 1980s.
THURSDAY 22
SUNDAY 25
Roman Holiday ★★★★✩
The 11th Hour ★★★★✩
(1953, Sky Movies Classics, 9pm. Dir William Wyler) …and meanwhile catch Audrey in her early fifties prime courtesy of this sparkling fairy tale comedy. She’s gorgeous as the bored and cosseted princess who goes on a spree in Rome and ends up with jobbing journalist Gregory Peck. He’s landed the scoop of a lifetime, but must betray her trust to make his name.
(2006, Channel 4, 7.25pm. Dir Leonardo DiCaprio) Leonardo DiCaprio takes a leaf out of Al Gore’s book in this diverting documentary that investigates how we can save the world from impending environmental catastrophe. Cynics may sneer, but the mix of environmentalists, politicos, and activists present a strong case for immediate global change.
FRIDAY 23 Starship Troopers ★★★★✩ (1997, BBC 1, 11.40pm. Dir Paul; Verhoeven) Depending on who you listen to this militaristic sci fi flick is either a spoof on American imperialism, or an ultraviolent space odyssey with morals to spare. Whichever side you’re on, there’s real pleasure to be had in the buckets of gore, and the relentless waves of marauding spider aliens. A Perfect Murder ★★★✩✩ (1998, ITV1, 2.20am. Dir Andrew Davis) Alfred Hitchcock’s classic Dial M For Murder gets a breezy nineties makeover in a suspense movie by a director better known for full-on action flicks. Michael Douglas stars as a corporate head whose trophy wife (Gwyneth Paltrow) is getting her end away with struggling artist Viggo Mortensen.
48 latest 7
MONDAY 26 Lady From Shanghai ★★★✩✩ (1948, BBC2, 12.05am. Dir Orson Welles) Late night film nerd thrills abound this evening as the Beeb screens Orson Welles’ cryptic and much-admired drama. Ignore the labyrinthine plot (studio boss Harry Cohn offered a reward for anyone who could figure it out) and watch the interplay between Welles’ Irish sailor, and Rita Hayworth’ smouldering femme fatale.

tuesday 20 RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2008 BBC2, 8pm Bloomin’ marvellous, comin’ up roses, and any other flowery cliché you can think of will hardly do justice to the gardens at the Chelsea Flower Show. With months of hard work coming to fruition Alan Titchmarsh and the posse are there to capture the excitement of it all for us.
The Duchess in Hull ITV1, 9pm Divorced a Royal? Don’t know what to do with yourself? Why not front a popular weight loss group? Oh, you’ve done that. Why not round up a family of six in Hull to give up their chain-smoking junk eating ways on television? And thus the Duchess of York has a new project. Hope she’s still got those weight loss tips handy.
Batman BBC4, 7.35pm Batman is in fear of his utility belt thanks to a most unsavoury cowboy. Yes, we know cows don’t sound any scarier than bats, but bear with us. Crusty ‘cowpoke’ Shame and his gang of ruffians are stealing car parts to order so that they can outrun the Batmobile, and tangling with the Caped Crusader is on the cards.

The Apprentice BBC1, 9pm We’ve had lying, cheating, attempted bribery and ignorance of ‘kosher’ from a ‘nice Jewish boy’. What else can they spring on us? Well at least today’s project will be useful to them in the board room – it’s tissues. Can the teams design and market their own brand in two days? Or will they all fail and half leave?

thursday 22 Heroes BBC2, 9pm This may have been accused of kicking off slowly in the States, but as season two gets underway the true idea of an evolution in mankind takes off as more ‘heroes’ start popping up. Or off. In the meantime the oldies are not forgotten as Ando searches for Hiro, Matt looks for the man in Molly’s dream and Claire’s perky.
House Five, 9pm House’s favourite House-ism is challenged today when a woman with paralysis in her hands claims that she never lies. Never. But everyone lies! That’s what the limping grump declares and is proven every week. Surely there can’t be an exception! Determination never saw such definition.
Ian Hislop’s Scouting for Boys BBC4, 9pm The spur for the whole scouting movement was Robert Baden-Powell’s tome ‘Scouting for Boys’ in 1908, which despite being very Edwardian had more than one or two radical notions. Like citizenship, disaffected youth and social responsibility. Topics Mr Browns is quite keen on too.

The stars sent straight into a scene, which they know nothing about, this time around include comic Marcus Brigstocke and actor Steve Furst.

monday 26 Emmerdale 5000 ITV 1, 6pm ITV’s flagship show was only supposed to last 13 weeks, but the rural soap has stuck around long enough to be celebrating its 5000th episode this week. Mark Charnock and Joe Gilgun present a special episode which includes a reunion of past cast members, a guided tour round the set, and some favourite moments.
Life After People Channel 4, 9pm Will there be life after people have finally globally warmed, credit crunched and destroyed the natural environment as we know it? Yes, is the verdict of this documentary which asks geology, climatology and archaeology experts about posthuman life. The ants will survive, and probably so will Cher.
Graham Hill: Driven BBC4, 9pm Graham Hill was a driver who thrived in the era when sex was safe and racing was dangerous. As well as being a raconteur off the track, he was a genius on it: winning the Monaco Grand Prix five times. This documentary looks at the man behind the helmet and includes contributions from his speedy son, Damon.
