By the time you read this, our awards show will have happened, the glitter will have settled and the burlesque dancers will be fully dressed. As it was held last night (Mon) with the winners chosen to give those performing in the final weekend a fair chance, we weren't able to get their details in this issue. However, if you weren't able to make the party, you can find out who won at our website www.latest7.co.uk To hear all about who was there, who got drunk, who fell over on stage, who gave the best end-of-fringe performances and who tried to pull the Tom Tom boys, see next week's magazine. The show was so good, our Katie managed to drag herself away from the international celebrity party circuit to come along. Just days earlier she was clubbing with Juliette Lewis in Cannes – find out what happened on page 9. This is the Latest 7 baby edition. Everything you need to know as a mum-to-be, from birth to childcare and baby fashion, is included in our five-page feature starting on page 17 with news about the Baby Expo show coming to the Brighton Centre on 8 June. If you’re interested in who is likely to shape the city’s art and design over the coming decades, check out the University of Brighton’s graduate show (p24). Mary Whitehouse, that old enemy of free artistic expression is back – thankfully this time just in TV drama form. A much more palatable Julie Walters plays the old battle axe on Wednesday (p50). Andrew Kay is helping Brighton Theatre Group search for naked men, not for his own amusement but to star in the company’s production of The Full Monty. See stage on page 33. Nick Aldwinckle has met some more of his heroes; for his interview with The Wedding Present, turn to the music section starting on page 39. Also in that section, find out who’s top of the Latest 7 download chart this week and how to get your band listed. We are all celebrating having over 25,000 hits on the chart since it started in March.

On Wednesday 7 May 2008, Núa Lifestyle on Ship Street unveiled 14 new paintings in a new exhibition by local artist Eve Poland called 7 Deadly Sins and Purgatorial Punishments. Eve’s new collection of ‘Kinky Ladies’ at Núa will be on show throughout the whole of May. After the success of last year’s Heroines and Harpies show, this year Eve continues to celebrate themes of female power, beauty and sexuality through images she hopes are both naughty and nice. Eve’s unique style, which she describes as a modern, tongue-in-cheek take on erotic art, has become best known through her Kinky Ladies, who have been exhibited across Brighton, London and beyond. A selection of Kinky Ladies can be seen throughout the year at Sexy Toy Shop Núa.

KATIE’SCOLUMN
What Katie did Katie is learning to love the benefits of her job, and they come thick and fast at Cannes
French kissing It's getting harder and harder to hate my job. Even if I wanted to. My flatmate comes home – a cloud of grey – collapsing on the sofa and droning on and on about the day he's had at work. He complains the sky is dark, the commute is long, the filing is dull and the whole corporate nightmare has added to his general state of unshifting misery. But I'm not there to hear him, because I'm lying on a beach in Cannes soaking up the sunshine and giggling into a raspberry Capriani. Day one in Cannes and I'm topping up my tan in a £20million mansion with a free bar while waiters circle the pool with plates of sushi canapés and freshly made cocktails. The only thing I'm working on is my tan, so tonight when I slip on my heels and a LBD I'll look sun kissed enough to blend in with the glitterati that will be partying on the beaches. In London the parties can get predictable. Here I've been catapulted into a whole new plane. Tiptoeing up the red carpet I'm flanked by an ocean of autograph seekers and a wall of paparazzi, all teetering on different level step ladders and flashing a million bulbs into the night sky at once. As we walk the carpet to the party Julianne Moore is ahead of me, Cate Blanchett's already in and if rumours are to be believed then Mischa Barton is on her way.
“I'm topping up my tan in a £20million mansion with a free bar while waiters circle the pool“ The red carpets ends in a wall of smoke – a white tunnel filled with swirling wisps that open at the beach front. Two dance floors are ahead – one is fringed with mountains of soft white beanbags and in the other a petite woman with long wavy hair and a short-as-hell dress is hitting the decks. Oh, it's Juliette Lewis. I lean up to where she's standing – looked stunning in a short black flapper style 1920s dress and long pearl necklace, her long wavy hair framed with a thick fringe – and ask her for a song: “Juliette! Are you talking requests? How about some Madonna?” “I haven't got any Madonna, I haven't got any new stuff at all, we've only got old stuff with us, Lou Reed, jazz, disco. Anyway who needs
Madonna when you've got Wild Cherry!” She says as ‘Play that funky Music‘ starts and she runs to the dance floor Is she going to become a DJ? “It'd be good as a side gig" she says, “I like getting people to shake their ass!” “Its not my record collection here anyway. I'm singing in San Francisco tomorrow and we're flying at seven in the morning. We're flying straight over there.“ “She won't sleep,“ interrupts her male companion. “That's pretty hardcore.“ I grin, noting it's already 2am. “Oh I've been much more hardcore than that!“ she giggles, and she's off. Mischa Barton skims past me in a long white gown and I stop her to ask about the US elections: “I'm backing Hilary all the way, I'm definitely voting for Hilary, of course because she's a woman but it's not just as obvious as that. It's a complicated political process but I can't go into all that right now,“ she says and disappears to the bar. On a pier covered in beanbags that juts out to sea I spot Julianne Moore, munching on canapes, and head to talk to her – after all the party is in her honour, her new film Blindness was premiered today. But as I get closer it seems she's segregated by a VIP rope “Hey Julianne, how's it going?”, I call across. “I don't believe this. Julianne is not speaking to the press,“ complains her PR, whisking her through the private party and out to a waiting car. Cate Blanchett is leaving, Petra Nemcova didn't make it and although I've heard that Bar Refaeli – Leonard DiCaprio's girlfriend – is in the area I don't know what she looks like anyway. But I don't care. We kick off our shoes and head for the dance floor where Juliette Lewis is dancing alone. It's only day one and the party's just starting.

You’re the reason our kids are ugly You’re the reason I’m a-ridin’ ‘round on recapped tyres. An’ you’re the reason I’m hangin’ our clothes outside on walls. An’ you’re the reason our kids are ugly (little darlins’) You’re the reason I changed to beer from soda pop. An’ you’re the reason I never get to go to the beauty shop. You’re the reason our kids are ugly (little darlins’) I guess that we won’t ever have, everything we need. ‘Cause when we get ahead, it's got another mouth to feed. And that’s the reason my good looks and my figure’s gone. And that’s the reason I ain’t got no hair to comb. An’ you’re the reason our kids are ugly (little darlins’) Ah but looks ain’t everything, And money ain’t everything. But’ I love you just the same. ... all of our kids took after your part of our family anyway. Oh they did, huh? What about the one’s that’s bald? Well, I guess you might say they took after me.

EMOTIONS
Dani’s diary Dani takes a long hard look at just what it is that makes ‘one’ a culture vulture
I overheard a conversation between a couple of men. I reckon they must be mid to late 20s. They had started the conversation talking about something they had seen on the news about Shakespeare, then one piped up that he would like to see Shakespeare at the Globe Theatre. You have to bear in mind, while I write this, that neither looked the type who would know much on this subject or in fact, harbour secret passions for great playwrights. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I don’t look like the kind of person who can fit a tablespoon in my mouth but I can – although I would appreciate it if you didn’t tell anyone that. So, after they had discussed how they would like to be a bit more cultured, one then went on to say how when in Prague on a stag do, he thought he would try something a bit different and headed to a Salvador Dali exhibition in the area. I gathered that he liked it. I have seen both of those things and I don’t feel cultured at all. I feel proud and somewhat honoured that I have had the chance to see things and touch things that have been here for so many years and have had the power to instill such strong emotions in others as well as myself.
“I do not feel cultured. To be cultured means to be enlightened and refined” But I do not feel cultured. To be cultured means to be enlightened and refined. But after having participated in things that are considered cultural I rarely feel either of those. If I had to pin point what I felt, nine times out of ten it would be slightly better informed and bored. I don’t think it makes you any more of a person to have done a thousand things only because it will make you sound interesting. If you have a passion or even just a genuine like for something, feeding it doesn’t mean you are becoming more cultured, it just means you know a lot about what you like. It doesn’t make you any more of a person if you have seen the Sistine Chapel or can name every goalkeeper to have ever played for Man U. It makes me really angry when people presume you don’t have anything valuable to say just because you didn’t take a year out to travel the world. My nan didn’t travel the world, but she lived through a war. I’d much rather listen to what she has to say rather than someone who has just recently ‘found’ themselves and is now mimicking a culture they do not understand. In the world today, having cultured on your list of qualities is pointless. You need honesty, kindness and a sense of humour! If you consider yourself too cultured you end up a pompous arse.

City stars Look who’s been spotted in Brighton this week... Dancing on Ice presenter Holly Willoughby is stepping into her best mate Fearne Cotton’s heels as the Xtra Factor presenter. Holly, 27, from Burgess Hill, who is famous for her very daring necklines on the ice dancing show, will take over fronting the ITV2 programme, when it returns to our screens in the summer. Apparently there were no hard feelings between the blondes. A reliable source said: “Fearne and Simon (Cowell) hated each other. She was happy to wave goodbye so she harbours no resentment towards Holly.”. Let’s hope the friendship doesn’t turn too frosty!
Getta piz-za the action Spotted Spooks star Raza Jaffrey outside Fat Leo’s in the Lanes. The Italian eatery is fast becoming a celeb hangout as I am told that exboxer Chris Eubank is now a regular.
Gold-fingers Brighton-based celebrity gardener Andy Sturgeon walked off with a coveted gold medal last week at the Chelsea Flower Show. The medal, Andy’s fourth, was for his spectacular design on a garden created for Cancer Research. I grabbed a quick word with Andy on the morning he found out, he said: “I am completely overwhelmed with winning a fourth gold medal – this really is the icing on the cake for any gardener”. Andy is also backing Garden’s Week at the Royal Pavilion – a bit nearer to home, which started last Saturday and runs all week.

Brighton’s Market Diner, the stalwart of late night clubbers and early morning workers, was put on the market. Owners Neal and Alec Ross decided to sell the eaterie in Circus Street, near the Ocean Rooms so they could see more of their families. The diner does not open until the evening and stays open all night. The property is being marketed by GPS Direct with an asking price of £175,000. Call 01323 727271. A 25-year-old man was left injured after an attack in the early hours of the morning. Police found the man bleeding severely from the head outside Churchill Square, Brighton at 4.50am on Friday. He claimed he had been robbed near the cashpoint by the Western Front pub. Two 17-year-old males and a 21-year old man, all from Surrey, were later arrested at Brighton Train Station. Witnesses should call Brighton and Hove CID on 0845 60 70 999 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Brighton and Hove City Council leader Mary Mears met with Southern Water chief executive Les Dawson to discuss how to improve movement in the city despite ongoing roadworks. Also at the meeting were business and transport representatives, who were given an update on work to replace 57km of Victorian water mains. The work is six months ahead of schedule. The latest phases have started in the Brighton Station area, Western Road and around the Clock Tower – these works are being carried out in advance of road safety improvements by the city council. A partnership has been created between Southern Water, the council and Southern Gas Networks to ensure all works necessary on a particular road are carried out at the same time – reducing the impact on the city. The popular hairdressing group Headmasters have opened a new salon in Jubilee Street . Opposite the Jubilee Library, Headmasters is ideally located in the city. The salon is headed up by Hugo Ratzel, previously artistic director at Trevor Sorbie, and Francesca Davies, education director for the whole Headmasters group. Headmasters is open until 9pm on week nights, with the new Brighton base having exclusive rights to Shu uemura hair products for the next six months.

Starbucks, Western Road

Starbucks opens Shop rents could shoot up in St James’s Street because of the new Starbucks, the city centre manager has warned. Soozie Campbell said the presence of a major coffee retailer in the popular Kemp Town street could push higher charges on existing and future stores. There are already five Starbucks in Brighton and Hove. The company was refused permission to open a shop on St James’s
NEWS
street by the city council's planning department last week after more than 500 people sent letters of objection. But the American firm opened the store on Saturday anyway as it is legally entitled to until the outcome of its appeal to the Planning Inspectorate. Large chains such as Starbucks and Costa have a tendency to agree to pay an inflated rental price proposed by a landlord if
they are keen to secure a property. This means when other shops’ rents come up for review their landlords, even if they rent from the council, look to the last price paid on the street and fall in line. This can mean hiking up prices to an unaffordable level for a smaller retailer. The planning committee ruled Starbucks could not open in the former Sussex Stationers because there could not be more than 15 metres breakage of retail use. Ms Campbell said chains were prepared to pay high prices because there was so much competition between them. “They’re fighting each other to take over the city. They’ll pay whatever it takes and prices will only go up. Rents could double.“ Ms Campbell, who champions the city's independent shops with Unique Brighton, said it was predicted by 2020 independent retailers could be obliterated nationwide. A Starbucks spokeswoman said: “We pay local market rates and we’re sensitive to the communities where we introduce the Starbucks Experience. We are also committed to finding ways that we can positively contribute to life in those areas.”
Buff boys Good looking men from Brighton have found a way to boost their wages in a time of economic uncertainty – by becoming naked waiters. Light-hearted party company Butlers in the Buff held a recruiting day at Drakes Hotel last week and found half a dozen new models to take onto their books. Spokeswoman Iona McCaie, who had a peek at each applicant’s chest as part of the interview process said, at first look, all the men seemed suitable for the firm. Butlers in the Buff hires out its models to wait on men and women at parties, wearing only a tiny

apron. Many of their bookings are upmarket hen parties – they were recently hired for the hen party of Autumn Kelly, who married Peter Phillips, the Queen’s eldest grandson. The models are paid £20 an hour. Some manage to earn an extra £1,000 a month through the work. Iona said: “It is good money and it is so flexible. Their living costs and everything is going up so it is a great way to help balance that.“ She said the company was so popular it was growing almost faster than it could handle. “Britain can’t get enough of those gorgeous guys. We can't actually keep up with demand from customers. We are always going to be recruiting for guys. It’s crazy.“ Nick Webb, 20, from Brighton, who auditioned for a job, said: “I am quite an exhibitionist so it is kind of an ideal job for me.“ Nick, who works in a clothes shop, has previously been pictured on a Brighton and Hove bus.
Heather Mills enjoyed a cycle along Hove seafront as her divorce from Sir Paul McCartney was ended in the High Court in London. She was seen smiling and laughing with her personal trainer Ben Amigoni on the promenade close to her luxury home on Shoreham beach. Apart from appearances on US television, Heather has been keeping a low profile since the former model was awarded £24.3million as a divorce settlement. Mr Justice Bennett pronounced a decree nisi at the High Court on the grounds that the pair had been separated for two years. Neither Sir Paul 65, or Heather, 40, was in court. They will be free to marry again in six weeks, after the decree absolute. The couple married in 2002 and have a daughter Beatrice, four. They separated in 2006. One Latest 7 reader said: “I spotted Heather cycling on the seafront – she looked so much more relaxed and happy than before. She must be glad it’s finally all over and she can get on with her life. I expect Paul is equally relieved.“

How can music influence politics? Nick Aldwinckle quizzed Leftfield organiser Geoff Martin
What’s the criteria for playing there? You don’t have to pass a test to play at the Leftfield! All we ask is that bands come down and support one of the campaigning causes. Most people in the industry are pretty clued-up politically and this is great for us.

Music matters With this year’s Glastonbury Festival fast approaching, a series of Brighton warm-up shows in aid of the Glastonbury Leftfield Stage have been announced. The stage is run by Geoff Martin, director of Rock Against Racism. He told Latest 7 what inspired him to use music to fight for equality and justice. Tell me about the Leftfield Stage. It was set up in 2002 with the aim of having an area at Glastonbury run by the trade union movement. I used to be active in Unison, but now I devote my time to this. The first time, we had just six weeks to get the stage together, so I ended up compering, serving behind the bar, being stage manager, playing the spoons and singing with Billy Bragg! At first it was just a corner of the beer tent and we’ve grown to being the biggest covered venue on the Glastonbury site. Glastonbury’s always had that radical campaigning edge, whether it’s Greenpeace or Water Aid or CND. That’s the identity of the festival and it should be about more than just people going down there and enjoying the bands. So it’s a combo of music and social discourse? Yeah, but the one thing we don’t want is to ram it down people’s throats. We’ve got to attract an audience and we have a big tent to fill! On a Sunday lunchtime Tony Benn comes down and rallies the crowd, and it’s amazing. He gets a bigger audience than Hard-Fi and even gets mobbed! He came down the first time and got really fired up. Likewise, Billy Bragg’s been great. He’s our international cultural attaché! He goes around the world, calls me and says ‘Hey Baldy! There’s a good act here we should get involved’ and he’s never wrong. It’s like if we could get this going on in a muddy field in Somerset, think of what else we could be capable of! Last year we had a Columbian trade unionist who survived seven assassination attempts. It’s great to get heroes like him and Tony Benn. We blend music, film, comedy, spoken word and debate. Everyone gets a fair deal and enjoys themselves at the same time.
What cause will Alabama 3 be supporting when they headline the Leftfield Stage this year? It’s the Miscarriages of Justice Organisation, set up by Paddy Hill, one of the Birmingham Six, who was wrongly convicted of the Birmingham pub bombings. He spent the best years of his life in jail, so he set this up to shine a light on miscarriages of justice. It’s very close to the heart of the Alabamas. They played Brixton Prison last week. The criminal justice system is something they’re outspoken about. Prison should be about rehabilitation and not just punishment. You have to have organisations like this to ask the government questions. What do you make of the Glastonbury Jay-Z backlash from fans? I think people need to broaden their horizons. If they want an indie band, they can go over to the John Peel Stage any hour of the day! I don’t think it’s racist, it’s more about people that can’t see past their Fender Stratocaster. The whole thing about Glastonbury should be variety. Tell us about Rock Against Racism. This year it’s the 30th anniversary of RAR. We’re having a re-engagement exercise in appealing to the younger generation. The shows we’re doing in Brighton are official Rock Against Racism shows, though Glastonbury warm-ups too. We’re conscious music has to be vigilant on racism. It’s partly about raising funds but also giving people encouragement to get involved themselves. I went on the first march in 1978 as a 15-year-old punk who loved The Clash (who played) and that got me into doing what I do today. What’s going to be at the shows? A few speakers from local unions, I’ll get up and give it a bit of welly. We’ve got great acts performing, including the passionate folk singer Frank Turner. The Krak are playing, who have Babyshambles’ old drummer, as well as this Brixton band called The Thirst, signed to Ronnie Wood’s label. We’ve also got acts from Brighton, including Elle Milano, Teasing Lulu, Maths Class, Jonestown Union and Bobby McGee’s. It’s going to be a marathon, but will be worth it! Music doesn’t change the world, but it can change people’s perceptions, which is what we want. Motown was the soundtrack to America’s civil rights movement, so that goes to show what good it can do. The Glastonbury Leftfield/Rock Against Racism shows are at various Brighton venues Friday 13 June. For full information, visit www.kongpromotions.co.uk

At a recent board meeting, he said infection and cleanliness rate were the first thing on his mind every day. He said: “I am waking up every morning wanting to know what's going on in the laboratories.” The trust has made significant moves to deep clean RSCH and the Princess Royal in Haywards Heath and encourage matrons to take responsibility for cleaning on their wards. Visitors are encouraged not to bring flowers and staff are banned from wearing ties in an attempt to keep clinical areas as clean as possible.

An isolation ward set up to combat the spread of a hospital superbug seems to be helping to dramatically reduce the number of cases. Grant Ward in Brighton's Royal Sussex County Hospital opened four months ago and has helped the NHS trust achieve a drop in infections with c-difficile. Patients struck down with the illness are moved to the ward, where they can be cared for by specialists to aid a speedy recovery. In 2006-7, there were 616 cases of Clostridium difficile infection. In 2007-8, there were 468, a reduction of 24 per cent. This was much greater than the target of 16 per cent Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust was aiming to achieve by April 2008. Duncan Selbie, the trust’s chief executive, said it seemed that the isolation ward was having a positive effect but it was still early days and only six weeks into this financial year.

Homeless films Film students are delving into the lives of squatters and Brighton’s hidden homeless. Seven full time students will exhibit work at the University of Sussex’s first Digital Documentary MA degree show. They are currently working on their final projects and will present their 30-minute films in September. The subject of housing is a concern in two of the films in progress. Jordie Montevecchi’s documentary follows a group of Brighton squatters, while Josh Bloomis is working on an account of the “hidden homeless” – people who have nowhere to live but do not show up on official figures because they do not sleep on the street or in night shelters. He said: “I found out that 30 per cent of these people had jobs, working in low-paid sectors but still homeless. People can’t afford the high rents of places like Brighton, even though they are in work. They sleep on friends’ floors, in cars or 14 latest 7
Easy rider JourneyOn for one-stop travel information Check out the JourneyOn website (www.journeyon.co.uk) for everything you need to know about travel in Brighton and Hove. The website was launched by Brighton and Hove City Council last year and has evolved to become the city’s ‘one-stop shop’ for travel advice and information. Now with real time bus, roadwork and traffic information, the JourneyOn site is packed with even more travel advice and a new look, providing everything you need in order to plan your journey around the city. Local schoolchildren and cyclists joined in the celebrations to relaunch the website earlier this month. Travelling by bus and bike, they helped to carry a giant pencil on an eleven mile route around the city, spelling out the words “Journey On”. They were tracked by a GPO satellite device which marked the route of the giant doodle on a city map. (See the doodle online at www.journeyon.co.uk/doodle).
“The site calculates the potential environmental impact of your journey”
even at their place of work. These are the hidden homeless. “I hope to challenge the public perception that the only homeless people are the ones you see sleeping on park benches.“ Other films will follow Indian holy men, the earth-goddess myth in Turkey, Brighton’s Korean community, the plight of Brighton's hidden homeless, the story of a woman coming to terms with brain injuries and a film charting the fortunes of indie singer Carina Round. Lizzie Thynne, covenor of the course and a professional documentary maker, said: “This is the first year the course has run and the topics the students are tackling are very impressive. The course has attracted new film makers from several countries who draw on a wide range of international experience as well as looking at some pressing local issues.“ Josh Bloomis is looking for homeless people in work who would be happy to talk to him about their experience, and possibly be filmed. Anyone interested should call him on 07813 146715 or contact him by email at jab30@sussex.ac.uk The films will be shown on Thursday 4 September at Sallis Benney Hall, the University of Brighton.
Simple to use, JourneyOn helps you save time, money and improves your fitness by giving you information about how to travel around Brighton and Hove. The site works out your route across the city and tells you the cost, time and the number of calories you’d burn whether you walk, cycle, take the bus or go by car. It also calculates the potential environmental impact of your journey in terms of carbon emissions. Environment Councillor Geoffrey Theobald said: “We are very excited about our innovative new look JourneyOn website which provides a wealth of practical information for people who work in, visit and live in Brighton and Hove on how to travel around the city. “By gathering and collating information from teams across the council, from parking and roadworks, to healthwalks and cycling, and by working in partnership with Brighton and Hove Bus Company and Southern Rail, we have produced a website which is truly a one-stop travel shop for the city which I am confident will become a national example of best practice.”

Up and under Hove rugby is on the up after the women’s club record their most successful season yet
Sick of jam
Earlier this month South-East league winners Hove women’s rugby team crown a record season with a 30-7 play-off win against South West winners Supermarine to secure promotion to the national leagues to rank amongst the top 24 teams in the entire country. In sweltering conditions at Guildford RFC, Hove held their nerve and provided a fine display, with a brace of tries from wing Hayley Templeman and a hat-trick from centre Lara Pearce, who added a conversion and penalty to her haul.
Suddenly having a large purple cow, an elaborate Spiegeltent and an infinite amount of inside and outside performers has certainly led to a feeling of living in cloud cuckoo-land – which was rather nice. But with huge numbers of people migrating southwards to sample these shows there has been even more congestion in our one-way mega-clogged up system. When are the roadworks at the bottom of North Street going to be completed? When is the underpass by the station going to be open to traffic? And when are the disruptions on Western Road going to be finished? It’s embarrassing when we get visitors who are seeing the best of our city – and even getting the best of the weather – to then see possibly the same disruptions and traffic problems that greeted them last year. I know Brighton is renowned for being traffic-unfriendly and eco-good, but do we have to turn our traffic turmoil into a moat to keep out everyone else and give our roads a bad name? Hilary Mason, Brighton
Hot lemon I would like to thank all those who have helped and supported us over the last year or so, without it we would not be where we are now. For the last four weeks in a row the Big Lemon bus company have covered all our costs and made a bit extra on top. It has been a long time coming, and it seemed that the odds were against us but it seems, after all, that it can be done! There are a number of factors which have swung it for us recently, the main ones being a large increase in private hire work, a slight increase in ticket prices and our loyalty card scheme. Obviously it is unfortunate we had to raise our prices a little (from £1 to £1.20) but our passengers have taken it well and I think they prefer to pay a little more to see us stay for good. Our improved financial situation has allowed us to supply a bus for the demonstration against a third runway at Heathrow for half the usual cost. The Heathrow campaign is something we support wholeheartedly as in the age of climate change and dwindling oil supplies it is ludicrous to even consider expanding air travel, not to mention the effect that a third runway will have on the poor souls who live next to it. We will stop our regular service on 27 June for the summer holidays while most of our passengers (students) are away, and concentrate on private hire work. Our passenger club, the Lemonheads, will be meeting at Room 228 on the top floor of Falmer House, University of Sussex on Thursday 5 June from 5pm to 6pm to look at opportunities for a new service in September. All are welcome. In the meantime, we need to keep up the private hire work, so if anyone knows anyone who needs a bus for anything, please let me know. Our prices are very reasonable, and chip fat comes as standard! Tom Druitt, managing director, The Big Lemon CIC
“The success of the Hove women’s team means a double celebration for Hove RFC” This win comes off the back of topping the Championship South-East 1 league, which was a hard fought league this season, with some very tough matches and last gasp victories for Hove. The success of the Hove women’s team means a double celebration for Hove RFC, as the men’s 1st 15 have also secured promotion this season. Captain Manjinder Nagra said: “This has been a great season for the team and the club and I am very proud of all that we have achieved. The determination and teamwork displayed against some challenging league competition has seen us become Sussex and South-East league champions. Sunday’s play off proved that this success is deserved and that Hove can step up to the challenge of the national league next season.” The team are now turning their attention to next season with preseason training starting in July and social events throughout the summer. The team would welcome both experienced and new players to join and has ambitious plans to develop its side in advance of the new season, looking to bolster playing numbers with a second team. If you would like to get involved with the best premier side in Sussex then please email Ruth Punter on ruth_punter@hotmail.com.

HypnoBirthing® What is HypnoBirthing®? HypnoBirthing combines the use of self hypnosis with childbirth education. This method of natural childbirth preparation has been taught by Sussex Natural Childbirth for over eight years and has the support of many midwives who have seen the relaxed more comfortable births resulting from HypnoBirthing. What do we teach? We teach women and their birth companions how to achieve very deep relaxation, which increases confidence and reduces any fear so that it does not hinder the progress of labour and birthing. When there is no fear around birthing it gives women a greater chance of achieving a more relaxed, shorter and comfortable birthing. In addition we definitely notice that the babies are a lot calmer when mum has practised these methods. In essence, HypnoBirthing, teaches women that, in the absence of fear and tension, severe pain does not have to be an accompaniment of labour. Visit Steve & Sonia on Stand 169 at the Brighton Baby Expo for more information and to book onto a course.

Head over heels Zara Friend falls in love with yoga all over again If you’ve never tried any form of yoga, then this is your chance to discover its physical and psychological benefits. If you’re a devotee to the Nataraja-asana pose, then you are already well on your way to a peaceful mind, body and soul. It seems there has never been a form of exercise like this that unites the mind and body to achieve inner harmony – making yoga a popular choice for those seeking complete wellbeing. Opposed to a strenuous weights or aerobics class that burns calories fast, yoga is a gentler form of exercise that combines stretches and poses to work out the body and strengthen the muscles. It is also a form of meditation, focusing on breath work and a sense of self, which brings in the psychological side of things. So, is it a meditation or a workout? The answer is definitely a mixture. There are various forms of yoga about – you only have to look into classes happening locally to find there is something to suit all needs, even during pregnancy . If you want to try something different, discover the class for you. Your body and mind will greatly benefit. Benefits include: • You become more aware of your body, including posture and alignment – eye-hand co-ordination improves, pain is reduced and posture is improved. • You feel fitter and energetic, even if a class isn’t a strenuous session – weight is normalised and pulse rate decreases. • You become more relaxed, feeling happier and peaceful – as blood pressure is decreased, meaning a better night’s sleep! The benefits are vast, making yoga such a popular choice in today’s stressful society. Its health benefits are like that of normal exercise such as swimming and running but increased by feelings of wellbeing it promotes. Yoga is a good choice as it is non-competitive and awareness is internal, focusing on breath. There is low risk of injury and no heavy effort is needed. A session is very relaxed. So, if you haven’t yet found the yoga class to suit you, choose this week to discover it and take the first steps to a healthier and happier self. Yoga is a class that can be taken alone or with friends. There is no embarrassment or competition as you focus on your own mind and body. Classes are endless from hot yoga to astanga vinyasa (based on the eight spiritual practices) to asana (focusing on posture). There are ante-natal classes and those for parent and toddler too!

The need for me to update my portfolio has been screaming at me since I returned. I have had urges to update my portfolio before but it has never presented itself so strongly. Everywhere I go, it’s the first thing I notice. Even my booker has scolded me, saying that if I do not have new photos done in a week he will dump me – sounds like a joke, but he is serious. My friends are flaunting their new books in my face. As if this is not enough, I flip through my portfolio and I think that none of the images represent or even resemble me, and even my column is in dire need of new photos. This has had me wondering what has changed; is it me, my hairstyle, the photos – certainly not. Perhaps it is status: does this show through in photos? I am dying to know.
“The thought of having a photoshoot weekly – does it not drive some people mad?” Well, since I know some photographers (which model doesn’t?) I decided to give in to the pressure of having new photos done. So I booked a twohour session with a photographer friend who was doing a three-day photoshooting project for his new studio. I arrived early so I had to wait for my slot. Everyone looks excited – big deal, so am I. It’s just the prospect of having to change my book every few months that angers me. I definitely cannot be the only one feeling like this. I mean there must be others here who are angered by the need to change portfolios more than bi-annually. So I decided to get chatty about it. The first couple of girls I talked with didn’t feel like me at all. In fact they are glad to be having a photoshoot as the last time they had one was ages ago. These are not the kind of people I need to be chatting with right now, I need people in my situation: the less than biannual changing of portfolio syndrome. However, the next person I chatted with was not in my situation, but hers was much more – how should I say it? – interesting. I guess so, since I spent the whole time talking with her. She goes anywhere there is a photoshoot, and has been here all three days of this project. She actually does TFCD (time for CD) shoots every week and she loves it. In fact, she is not the only one, as I met quite a few similar people that day, and have also met more since then. What does she do with these photos? Well they are for her book and online profile, she tells me, and it’s worth it because she gets to meet more photographers. I ask if she gets modelling jobs as a result. Her reply was a sincere: “No, but it shows that you are experienced in photoshoots and it gets you more TFCD.” No modelling jobs? Then what keeps her going? Is it just the fun of seeing new images of yourself on a weekly basis? She laughed and replied, “Kind of.” Talk about obsession – or perhaps photoshoots have become the new recreational activity for girls. I know that we have to change our portfolio often, but that is like twice in a year, not monthly, let alone weekly. Moreover, the thought of having a photoshoot weekly – does it not drive some people mad? What becomes of these photos afterwards? I just cannot work this out. Even now, I am still thinking that I can handle changing my book more than bi-annually; in fact, I can even learn to love it. But doing it weekly? Please, I would rather get a new career.

Bare cheek Brian Mitchell and Joseph Nixon’s thoroughly scurrilous Brighton column
Ask MC Skat Kat The celluloid feline who reached number two in the charts in February 1990 with his Paula Abdul duet ‘Opposites Attract’ solves your problems. Dear MC Skat Kat, I really fancy this girl at work, but she’s extremely sporty, popular, and attractive, and likes clubbing and having a good time, whereas I wear glasses and weigh 24 stone, and my only hobby is playing war games. Is there any chance we could ever be together? Should I ask her out, or would she just laugh in my face? Please help. Chris, Patcham MC Skat Kat sez: Yo Chris! Listen man, like I said in my 1990 number two smash hit with Paula Abdul, opposites attract. You ask this lady out right away my man, and before you know it you’ll both be playing war games in a disco. Or something. Trust me.
MC Skat Kat sez: That’s totally weird, man. My ‘opposites attract’ theory of the universe has never failed before. Hmm. Maybe this lady is secretly boring and unpopular, and into role-playing games herself.Yes, that must be it – you weren’t really opposite enough.That was the problem. Anyway, I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you this time, Chris. If I was you I’d set my sights on movie actress Keira Knightley – she seems opposite enough from you to make things work. Keep those letters rollin’ in, homies. Word!
MC Skat Kat
Dear MC Skat Kat, You bastard! I asked her out and she laughed in my face and said I was a big, fat, boring, ugly loser, and she’d rather die than have anything to do with me. Then she told everyone else at work about it, and they all laughed too, so I’ve had to leave my job rather than face them. You’ve ruined my life, MC Skat Kat! Chris, Patcham

Hove factually Five facts you didn't know about fantabulous hove 1) In 1975 a restaurant themed around the joke punchline “Some monk chanted, ‘Evening’” opened in George Street. It closed after 11 minutes. 2) Hove is mentioned in the 13th century Icelandic saga Bandamanna: “A man named Ufeig dwelt westaway in Midfirth, at a stead called Reeks. He was the son of Skidi, and his mother was called Gunnlaug, whose mother was Jarngerd, daughter of Ufeig Jarngerdson, of the Skards in the north country. Ufeig was wedded to a woman called Thorgerdi daughter of Vali; she came of great kin, and was a stirring woman. Ufeig was a wise man, and full of good counsel; he was great-hearted, in all wise, but unhandy at money-getting. Great and wide lands he had, but was scant of chattels; he spared not to give his meat to any, yet mostly was it got by borrowing what was needed for the household. He was thingman of Styrmir of Asgeir'swater, who was then held for the greatest chief westaway there, and had been birthed in Hove, a small town in East Sussex that was a bit dull” 3) Hove’s infamous tax haven status has attracted such esteemed residents as P Diddy, Ernest Borgnine, Charles Saatchi, Nemesis the Warlock, Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Steve Jobs, Lord Tebbit, and Snagglepuss. 4) Those committing parking offenses in Hove must pay a ‘sexual fine’ to one of the city’s nude traffic wardens. 5) Hove’s official sport is ‘paper, scissors, stone’.

Designers of the future‌ The University of Brighton showcases the talent of its recent graduates Among the many schools exhibiting their work this year is the School of Architecture and Design, unveiling innovative new trends in building design in the extensive show of drawings and models. The designs of Nick Wheeler bring rural and urban landscapes together. Fashion and textiles student Helena Dunn, who has just secured a job in New York with American Eagle, uses zips and seams decoratively against delicate wool jerseys, silks and hard-wearing denims in her womenswear collection. Her sophisticated conceptual approach to dress design takes inspiration from her nine-month work placement with Hussein Chalayan. Other emerging fashion talents include Amy Graham who following placements at See By Chloe, has been offered a junior design position with Abercrombie and Fitch in America. Textile design student Haidee Foy recently scooped the coveted woven fabric award in the Bradford Textiles Society design competition. The ever-popular wood, metal, ceramics and plastics course adds yet another dimension to this exhibition of fresh talent. See Japaneseinspired stop-frame animations exploring elements of surprise with intricate wooden and paper props by Elizabeth Thomas, while Thomas Forsyth’s mischievous connecting toys will challenge preconceptions towards rules within adult play. Photography student and former farmer, Willie Robb, has based his work on the ailing agricultural industry in Perth, where he used to farm. His work includes portraits, landscapes, interiors and still life. For more information about studying at the university or attending the shows go to www.brighton.ac.uk. 26 latest 7

People’s Art Award Burt, Brill and Cardens’ support gives you the chance to vote for the winner of the 2008 People’s Art Award Burt, Brill and Cardens’ David Edwards proudly reintroduces the University of Brighton Graduate Show’s prize – the People’s Art Award sponsored by Latest Homes and Juice 107.2. Back by popular demand for the second year running, the prize will be awarded to a successful graduate from the university’s Faculty of Arts and Architecture. David heads one of Brighton’s most reputable and long-standing firms of solicitors, Burt, Brill and Cardens, which has been sponsoring the University of Brighton degree shows for the past 13 years. The firm’s support has enabled it to become one of the main highlights in the city’s cultural calendar, attracting over 15,000 visitors over five days. David’s enthusiastic support has ensured that every graduating artist and designer is given the invaluable opportunity to showcase their talent. Indeed without Burt, Brill and Cardens’ long-standing loyalty, the massive public exhibition of work could not exist. David acknowledges his company’s integral role. “It’s so important to nurture artistic talent, especially in a world where creative expression can be eclipsed by monetary value. If we can, in a small
way, help launch students out of training and education and into an activity where their passion can actually support them, then we are very excited about that,” he says. “When I visit the degree shows, I am consistently impressed by the variety and quality of work, in particular the passionate ideas and thought processes that drive the work.” Burt, Brill and Cardens’ commitment to raising the profile of significant students’ achievements is demonstrated by its investment in important awards, including the People’s Art Award, which is backed by Latest Homes and Juice 107.2. The People’s Art Award will invite the general public to vote for their favourite graduate’s work. “The People’s Art Award is a great opportunity for every visitor to say which piece they like – which may be quite different to work selected from the academic staff at the university,” David explains. “I think people will have a pretty good view of what is a great piece of art or design. Indeed, the collective wisdom has a great deal going for it! I’m really looking forward to seeing what people think.” You can take part in the Burt, Brill and Cardens People’s Art Award by filling in a voting card available at the university reception on Grand Parade. The award will be presented to the winning student on Thursday 5 June and an interview will be broadcast on Juice 107.2. You can also read about the winner and see a portfolio of their work in Latest Homes.
Programme of events: Burt, Brill and Cardens Graduate Show 2008: University of Brighton, Grand Parade, Saturday 31 May-Thursday 5 June, Saturday and Sunday 12-6pm, Monday-Wed 10am-8pm, Thursday 10am-4pm, free.

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD&DRINK
Run to the Ghylls Andrew Kay enjoys a country sojourn at Ghyll Manor in Rusper
Lunchtime in Hurstpierpoint, afternoon in Sayers Common, I was well and truly ready for a break by the time I reached Rusper and the genteel charms of Ghyll Manor. Ghyll Manor is a rather lovely country house hotel run by the Civil Service Motoring Association (CSMA), which means that in a sense it is government run. Not that you would notice, the place is run with a whole lot more efficiency and style than any government department I have ever encountered. I had dined at Ghyll before but being the nominated driver on that occasion, had not enjoyed a drink with my meal. This is certainly the sort of food that deserves to be accompanied by good wines. So in preparation I booked in for the night and before long I was ensconced in a charming cottage-style suite in the extensive gardens. Ghyll Manor has the most beautiful grounds, lake and all, which is why it is such a popular wedding choice. We took a stroll around the lawns then around
‘‘Ghyll Manor is an oasis of old world charm, unspoiled by fashions and fads, and long may it remain that way’’ the village before getting ready for dinner. Based on my first visit, my expectations were very high. I was not to be disappointed. We settled into large armchairs in one of the cosy lounges and pondered the menus. What a choice. Did we go for a tasting menu or were we too tempted by the choices on the à la carte? Fortunately, the chef came out of the heat to give us a guiding hand. Or so he thought. He merely made me want to try everything and in the end I took the menus, closed them and said over to you. I didn’t spot any demon pineapple on the menu so I thought it would be a safe option and my guest, Mr E, agreed. A short while later we were summoned to the dining room where our first course was ready. As I was the only one drinking I had requested a few wines served by the glass. The hotel agreed but I fear that in the end I made light work of rather more than a few glasses of excellent Cloudy Bay and some tip top Chateauneuf du Pape. First out, a shot of asparagus velouté topped with a chicken foam. Now I can take or leave most foams (little flavour or impact), but this was different. It didn’t whisper, it screamed C H I C K E N. Amazing stuff that fanfared what was to be an extraordinary journey of delights. I moved on, to an exquisite terrine of once again intense flavours, while Mr E oohed and mmmmed over a plate of chequer board slices of salmon and monkfish; set in a fine jelly that looked like the floor of a Venetian palazzo. My assiette of foie gras was equally spectacular, a ballotine of subtle beauty, a slice of pan-fried lobe that simply melted in the mouth and an extraordinary ‘lollipop’ in a sharp glaze of citrus jelly. Mr E looked on in awe but was soon engrossed in a salad liberally laced with girolles and slices of black truffle. No shortage of top-end luxury ingredients on show here, and the chef is proficient at showing them at their best. Fish came next, a perfect slice of crisp skinned seabass sat on a luxuriant puree with leeks. This was better by far than I remembered, and our normal diet of gossip and bad behaviour was kerbed by the food
that simply kept on coming. Next out was a selection of lamb cooked in three ways, poached, braised and grilled. Lamb can cope with almost anything you throw at it but the chef had it dancing to his tune allowing the fine quality of the meat, combined with some very precise butchery, to do its work. Next a remarkable basil sorbet in a shell of pistachio nuts, completely delicious and, dare I say it, prompting a second wind of appetite. I had worried that I was about to peak, but after the water ice, I felt ready to journey on. Which is when I made very light work of a completely delicious Roquefort terrine and quince jelly served with some other fine cheeses. I declined a glass of port, but I did not refuse a glass of the lovely dessert wine that had appeared with my goose liver selection earlier, when dessert arrived. Mr E’s strudel and ice cream was as beautifully constructed and presented as the rest of the meal. By this time I was in a bold and merry mood and went for the potato and chocolate ravioli with another wonderful sorbet. Clever stuff, a bit cutting edge at this point, but the chef‘s daring pulled it off. Coffee and chocolates (where did I find space?), finished the evening well and I retired full and fulfiled. In the morning I rose early for a robust English breakfast before hitting the A23 home. I cannot praise the quality of the chef’s food enough. This was pretty faultless stuff but lacking in the usual pretense that goes with this kind of cuisine. Ghyll Manor, is less than 30 minutes drive from Brighton, is an oasis of old world charm, unspoiled by fashions and fads, and long may it remain that way. Treat yourself, you know you deserve it.

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.

Under review Here’s our round up of recent local shows, plus there’s oodles of Festival reviews online at www.latest7.co.uk Delovely Unfortunately, this showing had a bit of a poor turnout but Missy D still managed to get the most out of the crowd and kept everyone involved with her story of love. A beautiful voice saw Missy belting out some great classics including the title track ‘De-lovely’ and the finale of ‘Let There be Love’. Some kooky characters including the old lady, telling the secrets of her longlived marriage kept us quite amused, especially the tip about mixing powdered egg with a little bit of Viagra and Rohypnol for her husband – works a treat apparently!

Priorite a Gauche Something tells me these boys were weaned on reruns of Allo Allo – least that’s the pitch of the accent. ‘French’ rap/comedy/pop starlets they are and damn good at it. Presenting themselves as too-cool-for-school archetypal French fancies, in roll-neck jumpers and a shirt made from the tricolour. The boys romped
through a set filled with audience participation and fine voices. As they roused everyone into a group beat-boxing session, the French flag was flying and the laughter was infectious. Udderbelly, 10 May ✌✌✌✌

Kartic Seshadri You knew straight away Kartic Seshadri was a prodigy of Ravi Shankar by the way he introduced himself, exactly as Shankar would: “Friends, we are honoured to be here…” In the same way his mastery of the sitar mirrored that of his teacher, a difficult feat made easier no doubt, by the fact Seshadri was playing raga solos aged just six. Joined on stage by tabla player, Koustic Sen, the packed Pavilion was treated to a classical raga in traditional form (although abridged to fit the lunchtime slot) followed by a free-er composition of Seshadri’s. The interplay between the two was almost telepathic and although it looked on occasion that Sen was
HOT REVIEW OF THE WEEK Complete And Utter Conti – Nina Conti Ventriloquist, actress, writer, comedian and exceptionally good wearing all hats on at once, Nina Conti is one of those performers, where if she wasn’t so darned likeable on top of it all, you’d have to hate her for being so talented. The night’s show was a variation on her Edinburgh show of ‘07, but showed none of the telltale tired signs of a show that’s been toured for almost a year already – fresh, entertaining, funny and touching. Nina and her constant companion the potty-mouthed monkey Monk introduced us to an array of newer characters, both in foam and flesh. Plus, support Stan Stanley was darn funny too. Unstoppable. Rock on!

A small company read from her books, transcripts of her live performances and told stories about the way she lived her life, her gardening and obsession with TV. Musical interludes of some of her favourite songs added little but were well performed. All very charming and nice but it was only when we heard recordings of Linda herself that the show really came to life and we were reminded of the tragic loss so young of this great talent Sallis Benney Theatre, 9 May ✌✌

…like a horse Brighton Theatre Group are searching for a star for The Full Monty – a strapping, stripping good show Brighton Theatre Group (BTG) is looking for a man with nothing to hide to complete their line up in The Full Monty to be staged at the Theatre Royal, Brighton later this year (November 11-15). The part of Noah ‘Horse’ Simmons, a retired industrial worker of Afro-Caribbean origin, is up for grabs in a show that promises to take Brighton by storm as we follow the fortunes of six unemployed men struggling to cope with losing their jobs due to the recession. Anyone interested in auditioning for this role needs to be able to sing solo as well as with the troupe and feel confident to give those raunchy and revealing dance routines plenty of attitude. All six lead roles will be going ‘the full monty’ on stage for each of the seven performance nights so this opportunity will not suit a shrinking violet! The musical version of The Full Monty is based
Funny Girl Chichester Festival Theatre, 8 May There was a buzz before the curtain at Chichester about this REVIEW new production, much of it based on the decision to stage it in the much smaller Minerva rather than the main house. But from the minute the lights came up we all knew why. Funny Girl is a big show with a massive reputation, much of which is based on a huge star – Barbra Streisand. It’s a tough act to follow, which could be why the show is so seldom done, but Chichester have pulled it off with more than a dash of panache and pzzazz.

Oliver! Brighton Theatre Group, Theatre Royal, Saturday 17 April On Saturday 17 April we took our sister and Dad to see Oliver at the Theatre Royal. We thought it was amazing, especially the singing and dancing, though it was a bit scary when Bill Sikes murdered Nancy! All of the acting, the costumes, make-up and voices were really good. If we had been able to meet the director, we would say a big “Well done” for such a great performance. Our favourite characters were Fagin and the Artful Dodger. Oliver’s voice was a bit wobbly
on the book by Terrence McNally. The film, released over a decade ago, became the UK’s biggest box office attraction. It follows BTG’s box office sell-out production of Oliver! last month (April 08), also at the Theatre Royal, Brighton, and is another golden opportunity for BTG to continue their tried and tested tradition of successfully tackling a diverse range of musical theatre productions. If you are interested in auditioning for this exciting role contact Keith Shepherd, BTG Chairman on 07980 266660.
Samantha Spiro more that meets the task. Her portrayal of musical comedienne Fanny Brice has charm and confidence, but it also has what Streisand had less of and that is vulnerability. Spiro’s bubbling effusive bulldozing approach to life is at all times underscored by insecurity. Her belief in her genuine talent, marred by her selfeffacing lack of confidence in her looks, her body, her height. Of course Samantha Spiro is actually a fine looking young woman, but somehow she manages to convince us that as Fanny she is the ugly duckling. So dramatically she has it sewn up – what of the songs? Well, once again the comparisons will be inevitable, but putting that aside, these are fine renditions, acted rather than belted out. But when it comes to it, the big ‘Parade’ number, Spiro pulls it off and hits the notes with a power that make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. It’s almost as if she has been saving herself for the moment.
The stage version, as opposed to the film, has many great numbers and in particular the staged ensemble pieces. The girls of the chorus have perfected that haunting Hollywood sound like soaring strings, and the boys sing one passage in harmonies so close that you would have a job to slide a cigarette paper between them. One thing that really stands out is the quality of this supporting cast and the fact that it appears to be made up of grown ups, men and women as opposed to boys and girls. It somehow makes a massive difference to the dramatic sense of the show to have a company that can sing and dance, but can also carry the drama convincingly. Sheila Steafel as Mrs Brice has worldweariness in buckets but also an overriding sense of belief in her daughter. Her songs, not easy, are carried with conviction and charm. She also does it without resorting to the ‘oy vey’ school of Jewish characterisation. Sebastien Torkia as Eddie Ryan has great presence, and if there is any fault it is that he is equally as attractive as Nick Arnstein played by Mark Umbers. Fanny can’t see it – but we could. Mark Umbers has the task of living up to Omar Sharif, there’s no getting away from these comparisons, but he wins hands down. His Arnstein is far more believable, far more lovable, and dare I say it, far more beautiful. Putting this in the Minerva may have been brave but the audience is swept up by the intimacy and carried along. The sparse settings work beautifully, except for some crude coloured balloons and buntings at the block party which jar. Much of the mood is conveyed by brilliantly restrained lighting and the occasional effect, emphasising the old tenet that less is more. When it comes to the costumes however, no expense seems to have been spared and the cast go from one Vogue tableau to the next in dresses and suits that reek of quality. Here more is most certainly more, and there are moments when the audience are most definitely applauding the frocks. Chichester have another five star transferable product on their hands. I can’t wait to see this in the West End. Andrew Kay ★★★★★
on ‘Where Is Love’, but other than that he was a star. He must have been nervous in front of all those people. He was only 10 – our age! We were sitting in a box, right next to the stage that had a brilliant view. In the song ‘Who Will Buy?’ everyone swung their baskets up to the right side of the stage, just where we were sitting. The audience were all staring at us. It was very funny! After the show we went home and watched I’d Do Anything on TV, which is auditioning girls for the part of Nancy. We both agreed that Emma Dearden, who played Nancy today, could easily be Nancy in the new West End Oliver coming soon. Nat and Becky Clark

Now, Voyager (U)
Dir: Irving Rapper With the best named director in film history at the helm, this Bette Davis vehicle is a true classic. Davis plays Charlotte Vale, a young woman suffering under the domination of her Boston mother. After meeting the charming Dr. Jaquith she is transformed from frump to elegant, independent lady. With a slightly worrying whiff of the Pygmalion myth this remains a deft 1940s shot of Hollywood ingenuity. Davis has never been so beautiful and Hollywood has rarely been so wonderfully melodramatic since. Showing at Duke of York’s
Redacted (15)
Dir: Brian De Palma De Palma makes a welcome return in this highly vitriolic and often shocking film. A documentary style tale of the war in Iraq the film takes its inspiration from an alleged rape and murder carried out by American soldiers in 2003. Having not made a truly brilliant film since Carlito’s Way in 1993 this sees De Palma harnessing the energy of his eighties masterpiece Scarface and putting forward a film that is unapologetically brutal. Never really an enjoyable film, this does
Dir: Michael Patrick King Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda all make a big screen return in this highly anticipated movie. After six series of small screen adventures the middle-aged, sex-mad quartet opt for one last big financial and wrinkled hurrah. Set in Manhattan the four friends continue their perpetual worries in the higher social echelons of the New York elite. Carrie is engaged to Mr. Big and the story itself focuses primarily on their slow and tiresome move towards marriage. Fun for sure but when the feminism is this reductive and the sexual politics so contrived it’s difficult to truly care. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon
Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (12A)
Dir: Morgan Spurlock After the irrepressible fun of Super Size Me, Spurlock sets his documentarian sights on a slightly more elusive target. With no military experience, knowledge or expertise, he sets off to do what the CIA and FBI have failed to do and find the world’s most wanted man. In his quest to find Bin Laden, Spurlock learns where he came from and how exactly this so-called terrorist came to be in the first place. A film both thought provoking and fun to boot.

FILM
Heart to heart Latest 7 talks to Mathieu Amalric about his roles in Heartbeat Detector and the new James Bond film I don’t know if you’ve had a corporate office job in France, but would you say that SC Farb is typical of a French corporation? Nicolas Klotz, the director, didn’t ask me to go spend six months in a real company to know exactly how it really worked. I wanted to do that but he said: “No, this is not what I’m looking for.” And as you can notice in the film it’s really fiction, because sometimes you don’t really know in what time you are. Some locations look like the 60s, sometimes you feel that you are in modern times. It’s not naturalistic, it’s not a documentary. Even the way we speak is very, very ‘written’. In a company it’s always dangerous to say what you really think. You have to disguise, and you have to smile or shut up. That’s the best way to be powerful in France sometimes. We’re not asking people to be human sometimes. There’s a big company in France where there have been six suicides in two years and they are asking themselves “Why? What’s happening?” There’s a lot of suicides in companies in France. With the right wing now in France it’s even stronger, unions don’t have that much power and solidarity. It’s very difficult.
the use of words. The language – the technical, professional language, the way to manage, to erase the violence of society. You just have a job, nobody has any responsibility anymore. You’re just a soldier, You’re just a good soldier – you obey. I think we talked more about today than the resonance of the holocaust. My character Simon isn’t a monster; just a guy that had a job. If you look at the film you realise that he almost never speaks, he’s just listening. He’s almost like a confessor or a denouncer. His job is to make people speak, like a priest sometimes. I was thinking of Montgomery Clift in the Hitchcock film where he has a secret and he’s not allowed to say it. That’s a strange position.
Language is very important in this film. I mean – I’m watching CNN. There is a language at CNN, if you see what I mean? Now let’s say that when people have the power, in France mostly, they disguise their actions. For example, immigration in France. We have a ministry called Ministry of Immigration and Integration and French Nationality, something like that. But of course they created that ministry just to kick more people out of the country. But they’re going to call it ‘integration.’ And then they say: “No, it’s to help those people.” They’re never going to say: “We have to kick 25,000 people out of the country”, they just say: “We didn’t achieve our numbers or plan”. It’s this way of talking that minimises the violence. I know you’ve said before that you never intended to become an actor and that you were originally a director. I was curious to hear a bit about what you’ve done in that regard and what you have planned, if anything, in a director’s role? Yes, in fact, I had refused all acting stuff to do my own film. I was supposed to shoot my film in March, but when this James Bond thing just fell on me it was an accident. You can’t refuse to be a villain in a James Bond film, it’s too funny.
What drew you to Heartbeat Detector? It’s a film that deals with the Holocaust, but in a very indirect way. We spent almost four or five years before making the film to find the money and all those sorts of things. Usually I’m more attracted by people than by paper, let’s say, so it’s really Nicolas Klotz; the meeting with him and the films that he has already done that I had seen and how he works. We never spoke about the Holocaust or things like that. When you say ‘indirectly,’ it was more, I think, about
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 Odeon and Cineworld Grindhouse (18) Dir: Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez On first release, Tarantino and Rodriguez’s retro-kitsch horrors Death Proof and Planet
Terror were big flops. Initially intended to be a double-bill feature, again paying reference to the original seventies exploitation films that inspired the directors, this presentation sees the two films reunited on the big screen. Showing at Duke of York’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (PG) Dir: Steven Spielberg This has been a long time coming, but after nearly two decades, the long-rumoured, semimythologised fourth Indy movie is here! The bulk of the creative team responsible for the original classic trilogy are back on board, including Steven Spielberg directing, George Lucas producing, Harrison Ford starring and even Karen Allen returning as Indy’s love interest, Marion Ravenwood. The plot’s been kept pretty secret, though at time of going to press, we do know there’s a strong supernatural element and this time round the Soviets are the baddies, as opposed to the traditional Nazis. Joining the star-studded franchise for this jaunt are Transformers hot property Shia LaBoeuf as Indy’s rebellious sidekick, Ray Winstone as a rival adventurer,
Cate Blanchett as the bob-wearing Russian villain and small roles for Brit thesps John Hurt and Jim Broadbent. Early reviews have been mixed, so the jury’s out as to whether the pensioner Ford can still cut it as The Man in the Hat. Showing at Cineworld, Odeon and Worthing 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 Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
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 follow-up, this is squarely aimed at the Spy Kids market of visually striking action for all the family and will probably 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 and Odeon Nick Aldwinckle

Brighton Ghost Walk
Water saviour Zara Friend meets the ten-year-old who will represent the Sea Life Centre this July A while back in Latest 7 we printed the news of Brighton Sea Life Centre looking for youngsters with an interest in marine life. Applicants were encouraged to tell their tales of the sea, with those selected representing the resort’s popular Sea Life Centre at Britain’s first National Junior Sea Life Conference in July. Ten-year-old Hannah Layton, from Tonbridge, Kent, wrote a letter telling centre staff about her passion for coral reefs and devastation faced from erosion and global warming. She will now work with Sea Life marine expert Alex Gerard to put a presentation together for the conference being staged at Birmingham’s Hilton Hotel on 15 and 16 July. On a visit to the centre to meet Alex and lay down plans for July’s presentation, Hannah became the first official signatory of a new Sea Life network conservation petition. Sea Life Centres nationwide are determined to stem the needless slaughter of millions of ‘innocent victims’ of commercial fishing operations. The death toll includes species like sharks, sea turtles and porpoises, all captured in nets or on lines set for other quarry. It now also includes millions of immature fish like cod and sea bass, which are too small to be legitimately taken to market, but which invariably die as a result of capture in spite of being eventually thrown back overboard. “There are devices now available, and measures that can be taken, to cut down the carnage and perhaps save some of the more threatened species from disappearing from our seas altogether,” said Alex. Hannah was pleased to accept the honour of heading up the Brighton petition, as well as being its delegate to the Junior Sea Life Conference. She will be joined by nine other young delegates from around the UK, meeting up at the National Sea Life Centre, Birmingham. Special guests will include representatives of wildlife and conservation charities and, all being well, a celebrity TV wildlife presenter. The presentations the next day will cover a range of critical marine conservation and welfare subjects from whaling and seal culling to the erosion of coral reefs. The Junior Sea Life Conference is another SOS project, and if successful is likely to become an annual event. “It’s a chance for the younger generation to air their concerns about our fragile marine environment and maybe have an influence on the kind of marine world their own children will be able to enjoy in the future.” said Alex.

A laughing matter Victoria Nangle appeals for the plight of the local venue for a more intimate gig in the wake of the Brighton Festival Phew! I’ll say it again – phew! What a wonderful, incredible, colourful and plain fun festival it has been. From the fantastic visiting venues and the street theatre taking over our city, to the lunchtime shows you could nip in and catch in the middle of your working day. For nearly an entire month our city has not been our own, but we’ve happily shared it with the eager punters – tipping them a knowing look when they started gushing at how cool Brighton really is. Yes, we know. We live here. But are we really making the most of our cosmopolitan city by the sea? How many of us just buy up a shed load of tickets when there’s a big festival on and then sit inside watching telly the rest of the time? Why aren’t we exploring the little places? That’s where most of the gems are. Last year I saw Josie Long – if.comedy (formerly Perrier) award winner – in a 50-seater theatre with handmade programmes. She was brilliant, which is why she won the award – duh! Robin Ince has been seen on both the stages of The Brighton Centre and Above Three and Ten. Which do you think brought the greater connection? Seann Walsh was spotted compering downstairs at The Cella Bar under The Sanctuary, as well as on stage at The Kronenbourg Krater Club earlier this year. We’re getting the pick of the crop at our hideaway venues (for a fraction of the price) and we don’t even know how easy it is to catch them there.
“The exploring that will be done in the new venues that won’t disappear in a cloud of tent pegs will be paying dividends” It’s time for some resolution. Having done all the good work of catching absolutely loads of shows during the festival and had a bally good time, we’ve got to make sure we don’t just stop now that the brochure’s run out. The exploring done in the new venues that won’t disappear in a cloud of tent pegs will be paying dividends as the email lists we all absentmindedly signed up to will start sending us tempting treats. This is when it’s a good thing to succumb to temptation. They want us to be happy. This is what we want too. So keep on supporting live comedy, in the big and the little places. If you want to know where just check out below for a highlight or pick out your own favourite from the Latest 7 listings online – just because they’re not in the magazine anymore that’s no excuse for missing all of the fun. I, myself, am collecting all of the new brochures and doing a bit of fantasy gig-going. All that great laughter’s just whetted my appetite for more. I won’t stop until I’ve ruptured something with my giggling.

LIVE COMEDY PICK OF THE WEEK
Dan Antopolski: Penetrating Gaze Dan Antopolski has been up for awards all over the shop – Perrier Best Newcomer, Best Show for both his own and his part in Lee Mack’s show, plus you may have caught him in the BBC’s sci-fi comedy Hyperdrive on the tellybox, about to come back for yet another series. Really, if you don’t know Dan by now it’s about time you got yourself acquainted with the talented fellow. Pushing comedy boundaries yet again, expect edge and intelligence from this one-man show in the perfectly formed Above Three and Ten venue. Plus, he’s got the best eyes. Check it out.

Write club John Davies asks does a first novel from a local writer bring a suburban drama to life? Local author Martin Gillard spent most of his life as a teacher and has just published his first novel A Small Key to a Big Life. In story terms the small key is literally that, the key to a locked box in a shed that turns out to contain testimony to the wartime heroism of the main character’s father. However, what the key represents at the symbolic level isn’t that clear. A trick of consciousness, a foolish step, single-minded focus on a dream – all are candidates. Gillard’s main character, Bill Knight, was interesting enough to hold my attention and keep me turning the pages. It’s always a good test of character and story telling if you want to know what happens next. I recently read the appaling The Shakespeare Secret, written by someone who should have known better. Against the characterisation and plot line in that absurd invention, Martin Gillard’s efforts seem praiseworthy. But there’s a genre problem here because the book doesn’t fit easily into any defined category. There’s mystery, but it’s not a thriller. There’s crime, but it’s not crime fiction. It’s about a voyage of self-discovery but it’s not a travel book. I don’t think the title does the book justice. It smacks of the self-help manual, but perhaps that was intentional as this novel very definitely lives in Coehlo-Land, that curious domain opened out by Brazilian writer Paul Coehlo. I read The Zahir by Coehlo last summer and was alternately irritated and fascinated by his style, narrative technique and quackery. A Small Key is also a study in the self-published book. The editing is not as crafted, nor the proof-reading as meticulous as I would have liked. There are awkward pieces of repetitious dialogue that need to be excised. But all in all, I think this is a brave first effort. At least Gillard has tried to create characters with some humanity with whom I could sympathise and get annoyed. He definitely has an ability to tell a story and to portray the detail of urban life and work. In spite of its flaws I recommend this novel for one special reason. It’s an authentic turn of the century cultural artefact, set in 1999–2000 and full of ideas and notions that emanate from the louche, secular belief system that washes through us. I was going to say ‘unwritten secular belief system’ but realised that, of course, it’s through writing of all kinds, including Mr Coehlo’s that the belief system seeps, proselytizes and extends. Gillard writes about the way people lie to themselves and each other even when proclaiming their need for honesty. Characters move through discomforting and uneasy situations and I enjoyed Gillard’s exploration of the cloudy, dangerous territory where dishonest compromises lurk in wait for the parts of us that avoid truth. But I didn’t enjoy the outcomes, released from guilt and anointed with forgiveness, coupled with Jungian homily. This is a promising debut but I hope next time he moves away from Coehlo-Land to write the drama and leave out the commentary. Shoreham Writers Group offer a free evening of members writings, inspired by the Adur area. Tuesday 3 June, 6.30pm at The Ferry Inn, Shoreham High Street. June’s Poetry South at Joogleberry’s, Manchester Street, Brighton, features the launch of Brendan Cleary’s new collection and work performed by the mesmerising Rosie Caddick. 8pm. Thursday 5 June. I’m writing this during the best May weather we’ve had for years so I’m very tempted to get on my bike and follow some of the routes in the just released Cycling in Sussex by local authors Deirdre Huston and Marina Bullivant!

The Wedding Present are the band that should have been. 1987 debut, George Best, championed by John Peel, was a critical and commercial success. With The Smiths having split that same year, grieving fans hoped this might be the opening gambit from the new leaders in jangly guitar, yet lyrically downcast pop. They were soon snapped up by major label RCA, though despite critical acclaim, they’ve never quite fulfiled that early promise. They split in 1998, when lead singer David Gedge formed the less guitar-based, more cinematic (hence the name) Cinerama. Sole founder member Gedge took the decision to record under The Wedding Present name again with 2005’s Take Fountain. The transition is complete with new album El Rey. El Rey was written and arranged while Gedge was living in West Hollywood, a place he describes as: “Very me, me, me”, perhaps a reason why he moved back to the UK. In his new flat in Hove, he is in good spirits when talking about working for the first time in 17 years with legendary Pixies/Nirvana producer Steve Albini. Eager to hark back to that classic Wedding Present sound, Albini was the obvious choice after the orchestrated feel Steve Fisk gave Take Fountain: “Albini’s really quick and we wanted this new album out soon, so we went with him. There was no messing around. The last record had loads of strings and I just wanted the sound of a live band in the studio.” Indeed, El Rey is the noisiest album we’ve heard in years from Gedge. Embracing a My Bloody Valentine shoegazing edge (Gedge’s favourite group of all time), the album combines this with the jangly guitar sound of the band’s RCA years and an element of California sunnyness to make something unmistakably The Wedding Present but somehow new. This noisiness is deliberate: “I did the film score style stuff with Cinerama as a deliberate

step away from The Wedding Present. Take Fountain was like the two bands almost combined. After so many years away from doing The Wedding Present, it feels fresh again and we can come back and do a normal rock album. ” One thing that hasn’t changed, though, is Gedge’s lyrical fascination with jealousy. Despite being a little muted on El Rey, this fine tradition is certainly upheld. Gedge is quick to point out the difference between life and art: “I’m honestly not a jealous person at all! I write from the point of view of jealous people, but I decided years ago that jealousy’s a completely useless emotion. It is a fascinating thing, though. I’ve tried politics, but I always end up on relationships. My favourite songs, back to Motown, have been love songs.” Once tipped for the top and expected to crack America, The Wedding Present were always the underachievers of British rock in the 90s. From releasing an album of Eastern European folk music to recording experimental post-rock when their peers were remixing Madchester classics, there’s been an air of self-sabotage to their history: “I can’t whinge about us not being massive- I’ve only got myself to blame! When we started, we just wanted to make decent records, not conventional ones. Our big chance was with RCA and we were just stubborn. It’s an artistic process but you have to think about selling records to be able to carry on playing music for a living. Bands that only try to sell records make bad albums and won’t have a long career. It’s about staying true to yourself really. It’s harder to write records that are merely commercial.” Sticking firmly to that ethos, El Rey represents the band with a new-found spring in their step and a bouncy return to the band’s less dour years. With planned festival appearances, hopefully this time they’re here to stay. The Wedding Present, Friday 30 May, Corn Exchange

Dirty Pretty Things Bela Emerson It's been a while since this eyebrow-raising experimental cellist has played Brighton and it's good to see not one but two of her gigs this week: this solo show and her band Drei later in the week. Brilliantly atmospheric strings sampled and distorted beyond recognition. Tuesday 27 May, Volks NA Feeder The ever-popular pogo-pop rockers responsible for such crossover hits as 'Buck Rogers' return with an umpteenth album of catchy pogo-pop just in time for the festival season, where they'll inevitably be playing every single festival.

MUSIC REVIEWS A weekly review of local and national releases In-yer-face but imaginatively so, Johnny Foreigner are a hugely talented UK band, packed full of fractured melodies, big choruses, and superb vocal interplay between boy and girl in band. Their new album Waited Up ‘Til It Was Light is a sonically adventurous affair, exploding with ideas and a youthful energy. Legendary French-Spanish performer and songwriter Manu Chao is one of the few big musical voices that speaks directly to ‘the people’ and in particular the dispossessed. Following on from the superb Politik Kills is a remix EP featuring work by the likes of Prince Fatty, Dennis Bovell and David B. Dub, reggae, ‘barriobeat’, ska, world vibes abound; it’s a fantastic mash-up of laid-back grooves and a strong message. First album for eight years from Bjork protege Leila, Blood, Looms and Blooms is a more melodic, less ‘noisy’ affair than previous work, but still successfully adventurous, at times evoking old sixties soundtrack, at others more in line with old chum Aphex Twin, and his sonically rich ambient techno experiments. Hearing that the drummer from Razorlight has made an album fills me with negative thoughts of Phil Collins, Ringo Starr and the other countless sticksmen who have moved from back to front stage in almost invariably vain attempts to be recognised as ‘songwriters’. But here it’s a bit different; Andy Burrows has taken a book of poems by old childhood friend Peter Dixon, The Colour of My Dreams, set acoustic guitar and vocals to it, recorded it on basic, hissing recording equipment, and released it with the aim of raising funds and awareness for a Winchester children’s home, Naomi House, and their Jack’s Place appeal. Too lo-fi to merit much artistic appreciation, Burrows does demonstrate an ability to sing and craft pop-like songs, almost Beatlesque/Squeeze. Good effort! Spiky no wave types Rosalita release their debut EP, What Would Your Mother Say? At first listen, bouncy, catchy and slightly reminiscent of their heroes Sparks, this soon becomes intensely annoying. Stupid lyrics about drugs (yawn) and unpleasantly affected ‘anarchic’ vocals grate horrifically. Though only short, the record’s conclusion is long overdue. It’s been 20 years since Mudhoney’s 1988 grunge/stoner rock crossover EP Superfuzz Bigmuff was released and Sub-Pop have kindly released a nice new two disc version with some vintage live material. The original record, of course, is deservedly a cult classic and this version comes complete Electralounge with singles and demos showing the early promise of the band that would become underground icons. Live, the band’s irreverence, grinding guitar noise and pure energy successfully transports you back to their 1988 show, even if you were just a kid back then. Finally, an honourable mention to the pleasantly old-fashioned country of the chart’s new number two, Electralounge’s ‘South of Normal’. A strong, defiantly not alt. country number, this gallops along nicely with a decent guitar twang. It’s good to hear something a little different at the top of the chart, and Electralounge are exactly that: unpretentious country goodness.

Jaime ‘til dawn Jaime Pettit turns down the volume and realises silence is golden Silent disco? I feared I might spontaneously combust at the mere mention of ‘silent’, since it was a term I had proudly neglected to acknowledge since 1987. Imagine taking a ginormagantuan personal player magnet to the streets and plonking all those attached into a giant purple cow; this is silent disco. DJs Steve Guts and Tony Carlos span sounds from hard-house to unadulterated cheese across two channels in the most uber-insane but genius manifestation of clubbing! Imagine a place where you can stand opposite your friend yet be in a completely different room, this night was designed for friends with war-invoking differences in musical taste. To this day I have no idea what Ben was doing, I’m positive he was on the blank channel, but you do your thing! You can take a couch potato back seat and channel hop through the night or throw yourself into the mass and wock (aka wiggle/rock!) away whilst mercilessly, ‘killing in the name...of your blue suede shoes’. Merge tech and nature and take it alfresco, for a cool down and allow passers by to revel in the sound of strangled cats! I spent the entire night blissfully aware that the social lubricant was available in the corner, after all who needs Tuaca when you can slip off your ‘phones and listen to the tuneful singing of a crowd divided! Spot yourself a hottie? Go right over for a convo without the worry of spitting in their ear whilst wrestling with the volume of the music. In true festival style the dress code is as fancy as the authentic portaloo experience, living life on the edge of a breeze block! But girls I wouldn’t worry about the pre-club ‘hour long hair fix’ with these DJ-esque headphones! As I discovered you can never be too sober to discuss the meaning of life with a stranger in a cubicle share. ‘Twas an emotional farewell after the handwash. Game over, the evening ended with the classic Mario Brothers theme, and silent disco swallowed itself one whole mushroom. The night will do nothing but get bigger with huge comic worth and tunes for all. For the rest of my rowdy life I shall champion the term ‘silent’!

NEWS
REAL Brighton continues to dominate the virtual world by launching a brand new Pride London website. The site provides full details of all the events as they are confirmed in the run up to the big weekend, and has been designed and powered by Real City Network the organisation behind REALLondon.com, REALBrighton.com and the largest network of gay city guides in the country. “Our gorgeous new website will be a valuable promotional tool for our work within LGBT communities and across the world. As well as being completely rebuilt from the ground up, the new site also links to a donation facility allowing visitors to donate online towards the massive near half a million pounds that it costs to stage the event,” says Colm Howard-Lloyd, Director of Pride London. “We’re delighted with the site, with the tools we’ve been provided with in order to maintain it and with all the support that Real City Network has provided in getting it launched so quickly.” The design of www.pridelondon.org is based on this year’s theme, Fairytales, Myths and Legends. The Pride London Parade will be held on 5 July 2008, with related events going on throughout the year. It features full details of the organisation and how to get involved. www.pridelondon.org
Police appeal on homophobic attack
44 latest 7
Brighton Bandits are go The Odeon in Brighton was the place to be recently as the Justin Campaign screened the film Brighton Bandits in aid of the fight against homophobia in football on the International Day Against Homophobia Having been crowned Gay Football League Champions in 2006, Brighton Bandits FC made the first ever in-depth documentary last year about a gay football team. The aim of the film is to debunk the myth that gay men don’t play football – a myth that is shared by the gay community, the football industry and beyond. “The film not only questions both the homophobic culture of straight football and the camp hedonism of the gay scene, but it also captures the passion for football in the gay community,” says Jason Hall, one of the Justin campaign founders and Brighton Bandits football player. “The players whose personalities emerge in the film were (and still are) pioneers; many Bandit players have been making up for lost time, the GFSN League (Gay Football Supporters Network) being founded during their 30s or even their 40s. In the film they share their stories of growing up and coming out, of reconciling their sexualities and also their disdain for the more ‘shallow’, hedonistic aspects of ‘camp’ culture.”
The aim of the Justin campaign is to get the Football Association to observe 2 May 2009 as Justin Fashanu Day. Fashanu encountered hostility after becoming the first prominent footballer to identify himself publicly as gay. In 1998 American police questioned him when a 17year-old accused him of sexual assault. The police dropped the allegation because of lack of evidence, but Fashanu committed suicide in May of that year, protesting that he had “already been presumed guilty”. Mr Hall continued, “The objectives are; to encourage Premier and Football League players to support Justin Fashanu Day by wearing black armbands and observing a minutes silence before matches. To encourage Premier and Football League Clubs to support Justin Fashanu Day by including a statement about the campaign in match day programmes and to educate everyone – football players, managers, and officials at all levels of the game, including schools, about the damaging impact of homophobia in football.”
Brighton and Hove police have put out a press bulletin asking members of the public to come forward in relation to a homophobic attack in Kemp Town. On Saturday 3 May a serious homophobic attack took place in the George Street area of Kemp Town at about 9.45pm. Did you see a group of six or seven teenage males in sportswear in the area that night? If so Sussex Police want to hear from you. The man who was attacked walked through the group and had homophobic abuse directed at him, was spat at repeatedly, forced to the ground and kicked. One member of the group was wearing a hooded top and another was wearing a white three quarter length track suit bottoms with a navy stripe. If you have any information please call 0845 6070 999 and ask for DC Valder-Davis or the Police LGBT
The littlest, biggest shop in Kemp Town Cardome, the uber cool, gay friendly card shop in St James’s Street has thrown down the gauntlet in a quest to find out once and for all who has the smallest shop front in the city. “If anyone can prove to me their shop front has a smaller (glass facing the street) shop front then I’ll not only give them £50 worth of cards and gifts,” says Mike Dalley, Cardome’s proprietor, “but I will also donate to a charity of their choice.” Cardome has a street facing frontage of 1.65 metres in total, so if anyone can undercut that please send details to: Mike Dalley, 47a St James’s Street, Brighton BN2 or visit: www.cardome.co.uk for details. Mike out side Cardome – is this really the smallest shop front in the city?

King of the hill Latest Gay caught up with Boogaloo Stu
William Tells Will Harris finds that manners maketh the man, and some people have none
Describe yourself. Showbiz-superstar, extraordinaire. Where do you get your ‘visual’ look from? I recycle old charity shop dresses from the 60s and 70s – I unpick them, check out the amount of fabric pieces I have and then reassemble them into a new form – a shirt and matching tie, pants and matching socks. It's all made by my own fair hands, and it's eco friendly to boot! Do you have a favourite item of clothing? A refurbished fireman’s helmet, covered in silver sequins with ‘Stu’ spelt out in glittering diamante across the perspex visor, topped with a huge plume of black feathers. Your latest album is, Enough About You… Let’s talk about Me, is this an ironic statement or perhaps the real you? It's ironic. Although there are definitely times when this statement could easily be applied like the occasional battle of egos between me and my fellow showbiz compadres, as we attempt to out perform one another. What’s been the worst gig you’ve ever done? The Drill Hall, circa 1998. I was invited to do a revue show with Dolly Rocket, Miss High Leg Kick and various other showbiz sidekicks. We walked out to see the front row of the audience was almost entirely children with their lesbian mums. Our show was absolutely disgusting. It was all pre-recorded (on old fashioned tape) and we lip synched to obscene interpretations of TV ads and shows. There was no going back and as it rolled the theatre emptied. There was booing followed by a lesbian roadblock outside as the audience left in their droves. Hilarious! Do you have any musical pet hates? I don't like Avril Lavigne. Or that Basshunter record. Urgh! What’s the worst job you have had? The Drill Hall, circa 1998. What’s planned for the future? I'm presenting the interactive Eurovision Song Contest on the Saturday 24 May – press your red button and you'll see me! Then in June my next single ‘Magnetic Heart’ is released. Catch Boogaloo Stu at Dynamite Boogaloo, Candy Bar, Brighton on Thursday nights. and Komedia on Saturday 31 May. His new single ‘Magnetic Heart’ is out on Monday 30 June through Telefunc Records.
I have a theory that being newly single is a lot like the annual return of the summer sales. Each year without fail I get a buzz of anticipation about all the wonderful things I’m going to find on the sale racks, but get there only to realise it’s just the same old crap I’ve seen a thousand times before. And, what’s even worse, none of it’s the right fit. It’s the same with dating. You throw yourself back into the game with gusto, scheduling dates left, right and centre just because you can, and it’s all too easy to forget what a mixed bag the guys out there actually are, which brings me on to The Swede. I met him at a bar launch in the West End, and – in hindsight – I should have known he was trouble from the start. It was his dependency on emoticons that gave it away. Every sentence of his texts was literally peppered with them, and every time exactly the same twisted face. Not a smile; not a wink; not even a cheeky scowl. If I had to describe it, I’d probably plump for a leer, but even that doesn’t do it justice. It was clearly the hallmark of a troubled mind. Bizarre punctuation aside, I decided to give The Swede the benefit of the doubt and agreed to meet him for a drink after work. First impressions were positive (good face, good body, good job at the Swedish Chamber of Commerce – whatever that is!) but – two and a half Bloody Mary’s later – it had become clear that one thing was not looking quite so rosy. His attitude. It stank.
“So I drank... in the end I drank so much that I ended up back at his flat, staring glumly at something that was a lot smaller than I hoped” Pretty much everything I had to say was met with a dismissive “F*** off!” Do you want a cocktail? “F*** off!” Do you read at all? “F*** off!” What does the Swedish Chamber of Commerce actually do? “F*** off!” The irony, as I later found out, was that he works in the communications department. Perhaps it was the verbal equivalent of pulling pigtails, that timehonoured tradition of teasing someone to show that you like them. I wouldn’t have minded so much if he’d complemented it with some wit and charm, but no. He was pulling my pigtails purely for the sake of it and – according to the law of the playground – was in severe danger of ending up with a protractor in his neck. So I drank. I drank to deaden the pain of a bad date, and in the end I drank so much that I ended up back at his flat, staring glumly at something that was a lot smaller than I hoped. “A single bed?” I hoped my raised eyebrow spoke volumes, but – the state I was in – I probably looked more like one of his emoticons. “Is that a problem?” “Actually,” I reasoned, “it’s more than a problem. Having a single bed at 27 is a catastrophe.” “Oh, do f*** off!” he retorted, with all the predictability of a summer sale. And that, dear reader, after pausing to swipe a Duffy CD from his bedroom, was exactly what I did.

Brighton Tavern
Standing proudly in the Boho area of Brighton's North Laine, the Brighton Tavern attracts a healthy mix of regulars and visitors. Stripped of pretension, the wood flooring, long benches, chairs and tables tip a wink to the trendy locale, while the traditional bar, open fireplace and friendly staff underline a more homely pub feel. Tony, Adam and Dave have recently taken over the reigns of this great Brighton pub and guarantee a warm welcome to customers old and new. Images and edit: James Brooks www.realbrighton.com
Queen’s Arms
As brash and unashamed as a pair of Pat Butcher’s earrings, the Queen’s Arms is the matriarch of gay pubs, delving into her handbag every night of the week to serve up a big, camp portion of live entertainment, special events and karaoke. Having undergone somewhat of a transformation last year, there is a more contemporary look and feel to the two bar areas and stage. The bar staff and management are very friendly and encourage a full-on party atmosphere. The famous Queens Arms branded carpet is also worth a mention... no matter how hard you are partying you will always know where you are! Images and edit: Stuart Martin www.realbrighton.com

Living TV, Tuesday 9pm
Monster in Law ★★✩✩✩ (2005, Film Four, 9pm. Dir Robert Luketic) Jane Fonda plays the titular motherin-law from hell in a perky comedy with a plot seemingly designed to knock feminism back 50 years. Sparks fly when she discovers that her beloved son (Michael Varton) is about to get hitched to beau Jennifer Lopez. Amusing in short, sharp bursts.
Blade 2 ★★★★✩ (2002, Channel 4, 10pm. Dir Guillermo del Toro) Spanish horrormeister Guillermo Del Toro took to the helm for this gory, gutsplicing sequel to an entertaining sci-fi vampire flick. It’s more of the same (but with masses extra blood) as Blade hooks up with his sworn enemies to fight against the Reapers – a special super strain of vampire out to destroy the human race.
I have never been afraid to admit that I love anything supernatural. So when I saw an advert for this I thought I would give it a go. In general I have been highly disappointed by nearly every supernatural type programme I have seen. And this is no exception. Three psychic mediums go to peoples houses to rid them of the ghosts terrorising them. These mediums include: Johnnie Fiori, who as well as appearing in this series has exercised her acting skills by appearing on Broadway in Hairspray as Motormouth Maybelle; Ian Lawman, who is apparently known as the bad boy of psychic mediums because he spoke to the Kray Twins and another bloke, Mark Webb who is supposed to be a paranormal investigator, but so far it appears that all he does is videotape rooms and then point out that nothing is happening. In each episode you meet a new family being scared to their wits end by weird things happening, taps turning on, things flying off shelves, footsteps in the bedrooms. The families are interviewed first so the audience gets a good idea of what is happening on a nightly basis, and sometimes, if your lucky, the families will participate in their own ghostly re-enactments, which are a scream. Then the first medium to enter the house is Johnnie Fiori, who basically walks around with her eyes closed and says, “yes, there is a sprit presence here, I think we should leave this room“ then she herself goes after doing, clearly, the most valuable job out of all of them. Then it’s the time of the bad boy. Ian Lawson clears the house of the offending spirits by not making any sense at all and scaring the families while the paranormal investigator tapes it and then tells you that if he had more time he would have most definitely caught something on tape. Ian Lawson makes the petrified children go and sit in the rooms that scare them most, in the dark, all on their own and ask the ghosts to come fourth and show themselves. Then after all the spirits have gone the team leaves. You then see a ‘catch-up’ of what it has been like for the family since ‘the team’ left. And they all say things have improved. Now, not being funny, but I think I would feel a lot more happy once that bunch had gone! It’s not that I don’t believe in ghosts, it’s actually one of the only things I firmly believe in. But that doesn’t mean I think this programme is completely legitimate. These families may very well be petrified, but having this bunch of, ‘repeat what the family member just told me but twist It round a bit’ people would help!

WEDNESDAY 28 Educating Rita ★★★★✩ (1983, BBC1, 11.15pm. Dir Lewis Gilbert) Willy Russell scored big at the cinema with this winning adaptation of his theatrical two-hander. Julie Walters is excellent as the chirpy working class housewife trying to educate herself out of a woeful marriage, while Michael Caine is totally believable as her alcoholic Open University tutor.
THURSDAY 29 Kingdom of Heaven ★★★✩✩
The Girl Next Door ★★✩✩✩ (2004, BBC1, 11.10pm. Dir Luke Greenfield) What do you get when a geek (Emile Hirsch) and a porn star (Elisa Cuthbert) move in next door to each other? That’s the promising premise of a limp comedy – which gets diluted, then lost, between various sub plots taking in Vegas porn conventions and a high school prom night.
SUNDAY 1 The People Under The Stairs
(2005, Film Four, 9pm. Dir Ridley Scott) Ridley Scott tackles the Crusades in typical macho style for this action adventure which is careful not to examine the central Christian versus Muslim theme too carefully. Orlando Bloom plays a blacksmith dispatched to the front line who has to deal with murderous Muslims in a spectacular CGI rendering of Jerusalem.
★★★★✩ (1991, ITV1, 12.45am. Dir Wes Craven) Hold tight for a nasty horror movie in which a botched burglary leads to the would-be criminals discovering a coven of mutant children caught in a subterranean world under the stairs. As well as plenty of jump-out-of-your seat scares, as in all the best horror flicks it’s the eerie premise which really stays with you.
FRIDAY 30
MONDAY 2
Cleopatra ★★★✩✩
The Net ★★★✩✩ (1995, Channel 4, 10.35pm. Dir Irwin Winkle) Sandra Bullock (playing one of her last good roles) stars as a shy computer expert whose identity gets wiped in a satisfying thriller. Real life computer nerds will love trainspotting the dated equipment while the rest of follow Sandra’s scramble back to recovering her identity.
(1963, Film Four, 2.50pm. Dir Joseph L. Mankiewicz) Big budget historical hi-jinx in a more romantic style courtesy of Elizabeth Taylor as the all-Egyptian uberbabe and Richard Burton as her lover. The movie apparently nearly bankrupted Fox (and the production went through script writers like tissues), but seen through more knowing modern eyes all the epic sets seem rather quaint.
Orlando Bloom, Kingdom of Heaven, Film Four, 9pm
Scary Murder 3 ★✩✩✩✩ (2003, BBC1, 11.40pm. Dir David Zucker) What’s really terrrifying about this past-its-best horror spoof threequal is how far the once mighty (well kinda) Charlie Sheen has now fallen into the Hollywood depths. He’s along for the hectic ride in a hit and miss (but mainly miss) comedy which takes off Michael Jackson, The Ring, and American Idol among others.

tuesday 27 10 Years Younger Channel 4, 8pm The show that stops you doing exactly what you were doing a minute ago with the absolute knowledge it’s making you look older. It’s back with a new series and mother of five Amanda is the first under scrutiny for her smoking and tea-drinking. She’ll be glammer than a glamazon in Glamland by the end of the show.
The Apprentice BBC1, 9pm Oh – it’s moved! The canny programme’s switched to Tuesday’s schedule to make way for the footie, but that hasn’t stopped the competition rising as only six interviewees remain and each one wants to make it to next week’s penultimate task. This week they’re hiring out supercars. Vroooom!!
Three’s Outtakes: Little Britain BBC3, 9.55pm Without Angus Deayton or Denis Norden smiling smugly at us and implying that they’d never stoop to fluff a line or push a door marked ‘pull’, here are the bits that show not all accidents are a bad thing. Expect giggle fits, rebellious scenery and malapropisms galore.

wednesday 28 Filth: The Mary Whitehouse Story BBC2, 9pm Julie Walters stars as the eponymous housewife censor, who in 1963 waged war against what she called the ‘filth’ on the telly, and specifically the man she held responsible for putting it there – director general of the Beeb, Sir Hugh Carleton-Greene. A snapshot of media history.
My Car is My Lover: Strangelove Five, 10pm There’s always been comments about the closeness between some men and their cars. According to this, and with these two men, it’s all true. Well, most of it. They both claim to have sexual relationships with their cars and be ‘mechaphiles’. And they’re not even Transformers.
Stuart Maconie’s TV Towns ITV3, 9pm One of the fun things about seeing a film set in a familiar location is a bit of landmark spotting. How many people have wandered down East Street to check out the alleyway from Quadrophenia? Loads, that’s how many. Stuart Maconie brings his film crew to Newcastle to check out its celluloid past.

thursday 29 Heroes BBC2, 9pm There’s a lot to be said for brothers. We’re not even talking about the lovely redemptionseeking Cipriani ones but the gut-listening Alejandro, who can’t quite put his finger on why he doesn’t trust Sylar. ‘Cause he’s a murdering psychopath! No, shouting it at the screen doesn’t get the message through.
Gridlock and Road Rage Channel 4, 9pm The Cutting Edge team is back, examining the misery of traffic and the extremes some people will go to to avoid said congregation of large fourwheeled gas-guzzlers. With a glimpse behind the scenes at the Highways Agency and a mathematician on hand, answers and more questions are close by.
Greek BBC3, 8pm It’s another US comedy series about young beautiful people – yay! Yes, this lot are students who are embarking upon the highs and lows of fraternity living – yes, that stuff of every teen slasher film on in the 80s. Rusty’s starting his first year, but soon finds out second year sister Casey has yet to tell anyone he exists.

friday 30 Celebrity Wife Swap Channel 4, 9pm Anyone who goes on this show either wants to become a celebrity or wishes they still were one. This is the latter. With still rather classy 80s lady Sinitta swapping her healthy family lifestyle with former Coronation Street actor Bruce Jones’ wife – he whose favourite sin would be sloth – clashes are a-coming.
Shark Five, 10pm It’s the man with the incredible disappearing eyebrows! See who can spot them the most during the entire episode and the loser gets the chocolate in. Enough of that. James Woods stars as the driven prosecutor who this week investigates when a young fashion designer and friend of Raina’s is murdered. Clever man.
Johnny Cash: The Last Great American BBC4, 9pm As an American documentary this may include a fair amount of flag-waving – but please forgive it. This retrospective takes a closer look at the life of the legendary country music star, up to his death in 2003, and includes interviews with his family and fellow musicians. Class.

saturday 31 Britain’s Got Talent – The Final ITV1, 6.50pm After what seems like several centuries Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan prepare to judge who they think should win the prime time talent contest. The great unwashed get to vote too – and we’re sure that ITV have put all that vote-rigging nonsense behind them. Honest.
The Supersizers Go… Restoration BBC2, 7.30pm Giles Coren and Sue Perkins embark on another gastronomic odyssey – this time sampling the food that Restoration Britain feasted on. To get in the mood they snack on coxcombs and eel pie (all hopefully plague-free) all washed down with plenty of small beer. Luvverly!
The Book Quiz BBC4, 7pm Too intellectual to get your TV thrills over on ITV1 or BBC1? Then head over to BBC4 for a slightly smug (and very bookish) panel game show. As usual the redoutable Kirsty Wark holds fort, while Tim Yeo and Ann McElvoy battle it out against Baroness Margaret Jay and David Nicholls.

sunday 1 june Florence Nightingale BBC1, 7pm New for Sunday night is this period drama following the life of the Victorian uber-nurse, based largely on her own words. But it’s not all saintly nursing and perfect patients: Florrie might have been adored by the masses, but apparently her modern methods got up the noses of more than a few of her colleagues.
The Devil Wears Primark Channel 4, 9pm These days venturing into Primark on Saturday morning is like wandering into the Vietnam war (although the GIs probably had more stylish clothes). This enlightening doc looks at what our addiction to cheap frocks is doing to the third world as Alexa Chung examines the budget brand’s ethical conduct.
Painted Babies: Growing Up BBC4, 9pm The follow up to Jane Treay’s terrifying documentary which examined the traumatised tots who appear at US beauty contests. Now the subjects of her first film are aged 17, but has their exposure to the pageant scene had an effect on them as they near adulthood? We’re guessing the answer’s a yes.

monday 2 The Rise and Fall of the Ad Man BBC 2, 11.20pm Taking a cue from Mad Men (left) Peter York delves into the murky world of advertising to discover how the larger-than-life personalities of the ad world found success in the 70s. But a change was a-comin’ as the recession hit budgets and the industry went into freefall.
Victoria’s Men Channel 4, 9pm Seen from our apparently liberated times the Victorians seem like an excessively repressed lot – but were they really all that buttoned down? This docu-drama tries to prove they weren’t, with evidence drawn straight from the diaries of Queen Victoria and those in her secretive inner circle.
Oz and Them BBC4, 11.20pm Although the UK has enjoyed a ‘special relationship’ with America, our relationship with Australia has been more trying. From the Queen’s visit in 1954 to the Ashes, this programme explores the changes in how Aussies see themselves. Insights come from Germaine Greer (left) among others.
