Ian Wilson of local solicitors Dean Wilson Laing gives invaluable advice to the city’s thousands of small companies and employees This week: Employment rights
Q. I am the Managing Director of a Company in the hospitality industry. Our work is seasonal and we often have long periods during which we do not need much staff and other periods when we are very busy, for instance, catering for a major event when we require the services of extra staff. What rights do these members of staff have? A. Members of staff can either be “employees” working under a contract of employment or “workers”. Employees and workers have different rights of employment. Generally, employees have far greater rights in the employment sphere than workers such as being able to claim Unfair Dismissal. If there is no “mutuality obligation” then the members of staff will probably be defined as workers. What this means is that if these members of staff are free to undertake work or not when you offer it to them and you have no obligation to offer them work, then they will most likely not be employees. Do be careful
here- you cannot simply inform members of staff that they are not employees and a Tribunal will always look at the reality of the contract to determine their status of employment.
Q. Does that mean that certain members of staff have no employment rights? A. Absolutely not. Temporary workers are afforded certain protection by the law. Amongst other rights they have the right not to be discriminated against, the right to be paid the appropriate national minimum wage, the right to the appropriate paid annual holiday and the right not to be required to work more than an average of 48 hours a week. If engaged on a part-time basis they also have the right not to be treated less favourably than comparable full time workers.
Q. Should I engage members of staff on fixed term contracts of employment for instance during the summer period when I am busier? A. Employees on fixed term contracts have the right not to be treated less favourably than comparable employees on permanent contracts of employment, working in the same workplace. Therefore if you employ employees on a contract terminating on a particular date or event, you cannot give the employee less favourable terms and conditions than employees on permanent contracts, such as pay and benefits, opportunities for promotion, transfer and training. Moreover, where an employee has been continuously employed on successive fixed term contracts for more than four years, any renewal of the employment at the end of the most recent fixed term will create permanent employment status.
Ian Wilson is senior partner of six-partner Brighton solicitors Dean Wilson Laing and specialises in employment law. He was a part-time chairman of the Employment Tribunals for nine years. He is also a board member of The Prince’s Trust (Sussex).

There are so many outdoor festivals going on, it must be the height of summer. This weekend sees what promises to be two of the best events in the South East this year. On Saturday there’s the Mighty Boosh comedy and music festival at Hop Farm in Kent, with everyone from Jarvis Cocker DJing to The Charlatans and Ross Noble. It will be followed on Sunday by the Hop Festival at the same site, headlined by rock legend Neil Young. For more details see Nick Aldwinckle’s take on the line-up (p37) and Victoria Nangle’s comedy column (p36). That’s not to say we don’t have music legends performing closer to home – music editor Jeff Hemmings, who is in Glastonbury as I write, has news of Brighton gigs by Van Morrison and Martha Reeves (p38). Carrying on the music theme, Andrew Kay had a fab time at Marc Almond’s gig in Bexhill (p21) and Brighton’s David Van Day is taking part in a TV show that sees 1980s stars having plastic surgery (p11). We’ve had some fantastic news – Latest Soup, our daily show on Radio Reverb and media partnership, has won a prestigious industry prize (p13). Also in news, find out which Brighton gym has burned down and what's happening now with Brighton’s Astoria (p14). Another member of our team has won an award – find out about WriteClub’s unexpected trip to America for John Davies to pick up his prize (p36). This issue of Latest 7 has a nine-page art feature (p27) with a look at the fabulous Chinoiserie exhibition at Brighton Museum (p29). Our film interview is with Matthew Rhys, who has just finished playing Wales’s Bacchic poetic giant Dylan Thomas (p25). Film fans might also like to visit The Space at the Joogleberry Playhouse tonight (p26) for a rare chance to hear and question Stanley Kubrick’s executive producer Jan Harlan, who worked with the acclaimed director on the masterpieces The Shining and Full Metal Jacket. Katie Glass has been meeting intellectuals of a more literary kind. This week she shares what happened when she ran into Martin Amis at Hay (p9). Meanwhile reality TV star and Big Brother winner Pete Bennett was spotted out and about by photographer Tim Richardson (p8). Nick Aldwinckle has caused a bit of a stir with his brutal Girls Aloud review, see the responses on our letters page (p16), where you can also read why a football coach thinks we need to overhaul the way we offer the game to young players. Don’t forget, if you’ve got anything to say, email letters@thelatest.co.uk or contact us with any stories for our news or Latest Gay section (p42) on news@thelatest.co.uk

Jason King, series 1 – DVD
On Friday 13 June 2008, Brighton Frocks Fashion Show launched the first part of the first ever Brighton Fashion Weekender. Brought to you by the same team behind the hugely successful shows launched back in 2004. The weekender included workshops, open studios, a designer sale, ‘Frock About Town’ with a Finale Party at The Brighton Coalition. The fashion show headlined by Suzie Turner firmly put the city on the fashion map. Visit www.brightonfrocks.com
Full of fantastically camp and manly adventure, Jason King is the terrifically successful cult spin-off from the successful 60s series Department S. Having left the department, Jason settles into a retirement of womanising, writing trashy novels and occasionally being blackmailed into helping the British Government on pain of settling unpaid taxes. A truly playboy blackmail. This is the springboard for his many decadent and hedonistic adventures, with a wardrobe Robbie Williams would sell his tiger pants for, many times over. To win one of two copies of series one, simply answer this question: Which actor played Jason King? See below for details.
Liz Bishop (Brighton Frocks Director), Suzie Turner (Suzie Turner Design) and Katherine Thay (MWI South Limited)
CSI: NY Series 4, part 1 – DVD
Nicola Stapleton (actress), Danielle Brent (actress), Suzie Turner (Suzie Turner Design), Susie Amy (actress), Polly Parsons (actress) and Sadie Turner (Celebrity Pictures USA Inc) Gemma Cherry (designer) and Pete Bennett
Mac’s back. And this time it’s personal. The big man’s not even had time to step off the plane from London, and spend time with Peyton, when the series kicks off in spectacular fashion with the Statue of Liberty as the first crime scene of the season. Add to this the fact that Mac’s seemingly being stalked with phone calls in the middle of the night and you just know this’ll be a doozey of a CSI series. With more twisty turny plots to come than you could shake several sticks at and the rest of the regular gang in tow solving crimes, this is not to be missed. To win a DVD boxset of CSI: NY 4.1 answer this simple question: At which New York landmark does Mac go to to mourn his wife? See below for entry details.

Midnight Walk set to raise over £100,000 The first ever Midnight Walk organised by St Catherine’s Hospice looks set to raise over £100,000 in sponsorship. Nearly 800 women followed a 13 mile route through Horsham’s town centre on Saturday 21 June. They raised funds for the charity which provides specialised end-of-life care for patients, their families, friends and carers in Crawley, Horsham, mid Sussex and south-east Surrey. For further information or images, contact Debbie Plentie on 01293 447362 or debbieplentie@stch.org.uk
The spirit of the legendary Freddie Mercury is alive and well and performing as Gary Mullen. When Gary Mullen won ITV’s Stars in Their Eyes Grand Final in 2000 as Freddie Mercury, he began a fantastic journey which has so far taken him to virtually every theatre and concert hall in the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Holland and New Zealand. Now, with his band The Works and his fantastic voice, the music and the electricity of a Queen concert is brought to the Brighton Centre on Saturday 12 July. To be in with a chance of winning a pair of tickets to this excellent night, answer this simple question: Which famous Queen song (released in 1975 and lasting five minutes 55 seconds) was said to be too long to be accepted a single, but went on to enjoy incredible success? See below for entry details. To be in with a chance of winning, email competitions@thelatest.co.uk with the title of the prize you wish to win in the subject box. Leave your answer to the question in the body of the email, along with your name, address and telephone number. Alternatively, write to us at the address at the front of the magazine. Closing date for entries: Tuesday 8 July 2008.

What Katie did Katie gets down with the literary luvvies and finds it all rather smug
Take a boy like you Another wet weekend in the Welsh Valleys and my pink wellies are ankle deep in mud. It starts to rain again, and I make my way across a field in search of Martin Amis. Amis is pretty funny. At a few events in London he’s previously cold-shouldered me and as a result I’ve written a few small bits commenting on how rude he can be, but today, I’m hoping, in a field far removed from the city, he’ll be more approachable. He is. In fact he’s on form, peppering his reading with jibes aimed at Tony Blair. “He’s very ignorant“, Amis informs a delighted audience. “When my friend Tim Garton Ash interviewed him [Blair] three years ago, he asked him what he was reading. He said: ‘This marvellous book about Napoleon.’ “Tim went back a couple of years later and asked him: ‘What are you reading?’ and he said: ‘This marvellous book about Napoleon.’” The audience laughs while Amis throws in another Blair-based anecdote: “He’s a great fan of Ian McEwan – he told me he's hung several of them on his wall.“ I corner him in the bookshop and ask if his experience of Blair is really that of an ignorant man?
“I got Naomi Campbell to ghostwrite the end of it for me after she’d finished punching policemen” “Blair is not just ignorant about the arts, but history too. I wouldn’t want to embarrass him – but it isn’t his talent. He's a tremendous hard worker and he reads a political situation and puts everything into it. It doesn’t surprise me that he doesn’t have much energy to do the background.“ Scribbling away I duck into another tent where Jo Brand is being interviewed by Mariella Frostrup about her fledgling writing career. She sounds like the most reluctant author here. “I see my writing as an extension of my homework at school. I signed a three-book deal and immediately stabbed myself in the face for
Martin Amis
being so stupid because the first was hell on earth to do, the second one was even worse, and the third one has been an absolute nightmare“, she moans. “I got Naomi Campbell to ghostwrite the end of it for me after she’d finished punching a few policemen at Heathrow.“ Mariella may be lapping it up but another Sky Arts correspondent looks less than pleased to be on duty. As Mariella moves on to interview her co-host, comedian Dom Joly, he unexpectedly bursts into a rant about literary festival elitism. “This whole week has been a mixture of duty and pleasure. It’s very weird,” he says. “It was described as ‘Woodstock for the mind‘ by Clinton. I’m not quite sure if it’s that. There’s a lot of smugness here it has to be said – there’s a lot of people wandering around kind of looking at each other like: ‘Isn’t this great, we’re all readers, we all read The Guardian, isn’t it brilliant, and poor people are rubbish, I can just say that, it’s fantastic’. There is a bit of an element of being pleased with themselves here.“ And you can’t help but think he’s talking about Amis.

EMOTIONS
Dani’s diary Dani weighs up what it is that makes us ‘weird’ or ‘normal’ and tries to discover where she fits in I am scared of the dark. Does that make me weird? I am scared of silence. Does that make me weird? I am scared of aliens. Not goblin-looking aliens but the ones with the elongated features. I have no idea why. Does that make me weird? I am scared of being good, of letting go, of feeling, of thinking, of being alone, of being together, of being in love, of feeling hate, of laughing, of crying, of hurting, of dying, of hoping, of feeling fine, of saying no, of screaming yes. I think that makes me normal. Or perhaps slightly unhinged. Either way. I have discovered that until you feel the lows you never really get the chance to understand and appreciate the highs. But how much of a high are you ever really allowed, because (to quote Bridget Jones and her creator) “It is universally known that as soon as one part of your life is running smoothly another is destined to fall by the wayside.” (Or something like that) and it is true. Nothing that major has fallen by any side, but you know when you feel you are losing control of the choices you have left to make for your life? I feel more like I am back at school now than I have done for a very long time. I find myself in the same situations with the same types of people and waking up every day with a similar feeling of fear.
“I’m just plain mormal, working nine to five, drinks on a Friday, roast on a Sunday, hair dye” I am still at the age where I can make choices for myself that could greatly impact my future without having to disrupt a life including other people. The only problem is that I have no idea what choice to make. Some people have always known what they want to spend their entire lives doing. I, on the other hand, have only ever wanted pipe dreams, and I have always known they will never come true. People like me don’t go on to do great things. I am the type of person who watches with jealously as people around me fulfil their passions and dreams while I glide idly along as a cog in someone else’s masterpiece. I am hopeful that something will happen. But I have lost the hope that it will be something I wanted when I was seven and more like something that will be more necessity than out of the ordinary. I do not want to give in to normality because that is what I have always been scared of. I was always someone who was a little different (although never for good reasons or through choice of my own!) and now I am just plain old normal. Working nine to five, drinks on a Friday, roast on a Sunday, hair dye, saying “oh my god” far too much. My greatest fear is that I will never be happy with what I have. I don’t think that makes me weird. I have lots of small things that make me happy. But my life as a whole is lacking because I can’t accept that I’m who I am. Which is a bit crap and makes me average.

New horizons Heather Mills looks to be settling in to life without Paul McCartney, as she finds a new man A Sunday newspaper has revealed that local resident Heather Mills has a good-looking new toy boy. Heather, who landed a £24million divorce deal from Sir Paul earlier this year, met hunky holiday rep Jamie Walker, 36, when she recently stayed at the Tenerife hotel where he works. She fell for Jamie after she saw him caring for daughter Beatrice at the resort’s kids club. The couple have been out on dates in Tenerife and have also been spotted together in the city. It was only two months ago that Heather voiced her displeasure when ex-husband Paul took Beatrice on holiday with new love Nancy Shevell – what’s good for the goose, eh Heather? Heather is apparently the newest celebrity to sign on for the US celebrity version of The Apprentice. Reportedly, tycoon Donald Trump admires the ex-model’s ‘fighting spirit’ and tips her for the final. For me, the real star of the show is the fabulously elaborate Trump comb-over…
sponsored by Latest 7 in his carrier bag. Hiya Preston! Hot news on the cool North Road delicatessen is that restaurant group Caprice Holdings have made a significant investment in Bill’s. The group owns The Ivy, J Sheekey and the fabulous Daphne’s in South Kensington – where I had dinner last night. With current premises in Lewes and Brighton, Bill’s could soon be rolled out across the south. Congratulations to everyone at Bill’s – we’ll be in for a celebratory glass of smoothie number one soon!
Like father, like daughter Deana Martin – daughter of legendary Rat Pack singer Dean Martin – is to play a gig in East Sussex. The tribute to her legendary father Dean Martin and his fellow ‘Rat Packers’ Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Junior, will take place at Bateman’s, the former home of Rudyard Kipling, in Burwash in early August. The show then transfers to the London Palladium – Dean would be proud…
England in Euro 2008 final! Sort of... Brighton and Hove Albion’s 5,000th goal scorer, Colin ‘the Coca-Cola kid’ Kazim-Richards has ensured that an English player will take part in this summer’s Euro 2008 finals. Kazim-Richards (pictured here with the lovely Mikele Addis from Albion sponsor, Donatello) was bought by ex-Albion boss Mark McGhee in 2005 when an Albion fan won the first £250,000 Coca-Cola ‘buy a player’ windfall. Now playing for Turkish team Fenerbahçe under the name of Kazim Kazim, he has a Turkish Cypriot mother and therefore qualifies as a Turkish player, and will take centre stage in their European semi-final against Germany.
If the Price is right... Our favourite glamour girl, Katie Price, has moved house yet again. Now Katie and hubby Peter have reportedly snapped up a seven bedroom, ex-old folk’s home in Surrey for £2.5million. The new pad cost some £500,000 less than their previous home, also in Surrey, and the couple are spending the difference on converting the new place into a stunning family home. Katie, Peter and their sons Harvey, six, and Junior, three, and 11-month-old daughter Princess Tiáamii, moved in on Monday. Best of luck in your new home Price-Andrés!
Plastic people Members from six eighties pop bands – including Hove-based David Van Day – will undergo dramatic plastic surgery for a shock new TV show, Pop Goes the Band. Eurovision winners Bucks Fizz, Dollar, 911, Shakatak, Visage and Cleopatra will have boob jobs, face-lifts, nose jobs, botox and liposuction, starting next week.

Bare cheek What’s not on Brian Mitchell and Joseph Nixon’s thoroughly scurrilous Brighton column
I remember… The New England Quarter – these days it’s a howling, bubbling consommé of offices, hotels, medium-sized supermarkets, and wood-panelled flats that will almost certainly look very scruffy in a couple of years, but what was it like nearly a century ago, at the dawn of the twentieth century? Talbot Oliphant, 99, remembers… “In my day this fancy-pants New England Quarter was the site of Brighton’s steam locomotive works – great big place it was. All the most famous locomotives were built there – The Orient Express, The Flying Scotsman, Ivor the Engine, the Titfield Thunderbolt, the Silver Streak. The old place was closed down in 1957, and was turned into a butt plug factory. The staff were kept on, but they didn’t seem to have the same pride in their work as before, and the building was eventually demolished in 1969 to make way for Southern England’s largest car park. Now, not many people know this, but that car park was designed by the famous wrestler Mick McManus.
What happened was Brighton Council organised a nationwide competition to create the most beautiful car park in the land, but none of the ideas were up to scratch. Then, with only one second to go to the deadline, the rugged South London tough guy rushed in with a blueprint crudely sketched in excreta on an old beer mat, executed a short range forearm jab on head judge Richard Rogers, then rushed out again. The car park was built the very next day. It was soon after that that they started having that car boot sale there. Of course in those days it only sold military arms. I had a stall there myself in 1975, and I remember selling a case of Kalashnikovs and some tear gas grenades to Ed ‘Stewpot’ Stewart, who was there looking for booby prizes for ‘Cabbage or Drop’. There used to be a Sainsbury’s there just after the war. Of course, it was very different back then. Powdered egg, snoek, spam, bully beef, iPods, laser guns, Viagra… Anyway, times was hard and I remember I was caught down there one day with a tin of tomatoes in my pocket I’d forgotten to pay for, if you know what I mean. Now back then they didn’t like to involve the police, but they marched me into the back room – the manager and the assistant manager, a very dignified fellow, veteran of the Great War, name of Hodgekiss, who had two wooden legs. Anyway, the manager gave me a stern talking to, I promised I’d never do it again, and we all laughed about what a funny place the world had become and the strange paths our lives had taken. Then they held me down over the desk and… (Continued on page 194.)

ARIES (MAR 21–APR 20)
CANCER (JUNE 22–JULY 22)
LIBRA (SEP 23–OCT 22)
CAPRICORN (DEC 21–JAN 19)
Aries is the stray cat of star signs, likely to up sticks and wander off at will. Scrawny and dishevelled may be a good look for the neighbourhood Tom but you should buy a comb.
Cancer cat is a crazy wild, impetuous cat, an emotional minefield and a philandering fool. Pray that no one reads this or your love life is dead in the water, puss.
Libra is a copy cat with not one good idea of their own. Always tailing behind and watching what others do first and then surprised when they come in second. How sad.
Capricorn cat is a cat burglar, lacking in both morals and a sense of decency. This also means that they are wild and fun to be with. Throw caution to the wind and bag some swag.
TAURUS (APR 21–MAY 21)
LEO (JULY 23–AUG 22)
SCORPIO (OCT 23–NOV 21)
AQUARIUS (JAN 20–FEB 19)
Taurus is the feline Earth mother and may well have rampant if not excessive maternal instincts. Curb that urge: remember that cats have a larger complement of nipples.
No surprises here, Leo is top cat. Leo is also a pretentious, arrogant, preening extrovert with exhibitionist tendencies and no shame whatsoever. Miaaaoooow.
Scorpio cat is a power puss, dominant, defiant and deadly. Typically a smooth and smoochy beast, always seeking love, but watch out for those claws.
Aquarian cats are unconventional and easily bored, not unlike their human counterparts. Disregarding gender, they are all tomboys, rufty tufty and full of wicked fun. Danger!
GEMINI (MAY 22–JUNE 21)
VIRGO (AUG 23–SEP 22)
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22–DEC 20)
PISCES (FEB 20–MAR 20)
Gemini moggy is a mischievous kitten. Keep away from balls of wool or any kind of balls come to that. Gemini is a cat on a hot tin roof, not a comfortable place to be in my book.
Domesticated Virgo cat is a kitchen goddess or god. Well, if Nigella is anything to go by that means this cat will have a finger in every pie and his tail in the cream.
Sagi cats will stray and roam but always return home. Strong and speedy but, sadly, this is in combination with a really tiny brain. Fickle and mean with attention, beware.
Pisces cat is a feline of two halves, reliable and scatter-brained. Sweet and sour, cuddly and then vicious, best treated with kid gloves or bribed with choice cat bits from Bardsley’s.

And the winner is… Latest team scoops top award for daily RadioReverb show Latest Soup In 2007 Latest Homes and Latest 7 became involved as a sponsor of local community radio station RadioReverb. The package included financial support for the station as well as a commitment to promote the station within the magazine. But most importantly Latest Magazines brought to the table a production team and presenters who would share their editorial skills and ability to draw top line guests for a two hour drive-time weekday show that would soon become required listening. Funding was then matched from Arts & Business South East who were involved at all stages in creating the direction in which the show’s content should go. Their initial brief was for a set amount of arts coverage but it soon became clear that the ten hours broadcast each week were almost entirely arts-based. That said, the team would often bring up present issue-based reports and debates, drawing on local community organisations, groups and individuals. Fronted each day by Latest 7’s music editor Jeff Hemmings, he is joined by colleagues who curate the content of each show. Vicky Nangle, comedy expert and performer, brings in a wealth of local and nationally acclaimed humorists each week. In the early days, fine arts were curated by Collete Meacher who interviewed a wide range of artists from all fields and at all levels of the medium and once a week Craig Driver continues to review the week’s new cinema releases. Jeff programmes the weekly music content and on Fridays he is joined by Andrew Kay who invites guests from the world of theatre; food and drink, often causing chaos in the studio by cooking sausages or inviting on too many guests. One year on and the show has found not only a level of professionalism that many radio novices dare not hope for, but also a loyal audience who tune in, and join in, every day. Much of this success is due to the support of the entire Latest team and RadioReverb team but above all to the continued input of Simon Watkins who throughout was on hand to guide and instruct.
Now Latest Homes and Latest 7 have been rewarded by winning The Arts & Business People Development Award for the partnership with community radio station, RadioReverb at The Arts & Business South East Awards 2008, which this year was sponsored by the BMW Group Plant Oxford. The annual awards, hosted by the title sponsor, celebrate the best corporate and cultural relationships in the South East region.
‘‘Latest Soup, presented by Latest Homes staff journalists, with production from RadioReverb’s station manger, is a genuine partnership and team effort’’ The Arts & Business People Development Award (sponsored by AXA PPP Healthcare) is presented in recognition of a partnership that embeds culture as a core element of the business. Arts & Business said: ‘‘Community radio station, RadioReverb, worked with publishing house The Latest in a truly innovative project that created a flagship show, ‘Latest Soup’, featuring in-depth discussions with guests from across the arts spectrum. Presented by Latest Homes staff journalists with production from RadioReverb’s station manger, the show is a genuine partnership and team effort.’’

Two hundred decision makers from the business and arts sectors witnessed Latest Homes and their fellow winners, Hook Norton Brewery, Bride Hall, BMW Group Plant Oxford, AS Fire & Rescue Equipment and GSK, take awards away. Dawn Todd, from AXA-PPP Healthcare, won The Arts & Business, Business Person of the Year (sponsored by The Barcelo Oxford Hotel) for her work with East Grinstead Museum. The fabulous high-tech surroundings of BMW Group Plant Oxford were treated to the soaring vocal harmonies of Oxford’s Afropean Choir and the accomplished skills of string duo, The Wragg Dolls. The beautiful award pieces were created by Farnham-based artist, Steven Whitehill. Jane Chambers, Regional Director, Arts & Business South East said: “Many congratulations to our 2008 Award winners. Arts & Business is pleased and proud to acknowledge their creative collaborations, and we wish them every success as they develop their partnerships in the future.” Arts & Business aspires to be the world’s most successful and widespread creative network. They help business people support the arts and the arts inspire business people, because good business and great art creates a richer society. Arts & Business believes that the arts offer a unique, creative and proven means for businesses to achieve their individual, corporate and community goals. latest 7 13

Bandstand permission
Fire at gym A major city centre gym was gutted after a fire broke out in the middle of the night. Fitness First for Women in Queens Road, Brighton incurred devastating damage in the blaze in the early hours of Thursday (26 June). Fourteen fire crews worked for about five hours to put out the flames, which were spotted at about 1am. No one was in the building at the time and no one was injured. A spokesman for Preston Circus fire station said the fire started in the basement area, where the gym is. He said: “It caused a lot of damage to the property. It was pretty hot in there with fairly perishing conditions for the crew.“ The club has been closed until
further notice. Members were told their payments would be frozen until the firm decided what to do. Fitness First said they would be contacted individually to inform them of the next steps and to offer them alternative arrangements where possible. Harry Kay, facility director and health and safety officer, visited the site following the fire. He said: “Our first concern was to ensure there were no injuries and that everyone was safe and well. “We have now launched a full investigation to find out the precise details of what actually happened. Our priority now is to inform our members and make arrangements going forward. It is important they hear from us as soon as possible.“
Planning permission has been granted to restore Hove's Grade II listed bandstand. Architects DRP of Brighton have been commissioned by Brighton and Hove City Council to design the project. The application includes a change of use of the ground floor and basement from public toilets and storage to a café. The top part of the bandstand will be sympathetically restored to stage concerts and other events and the surrounding area will be improved. The work will be funded by the city council and will cost an estimated £850,000. The council hopes to generate income by renting out the café premises. Environment cabinet member Geoffrey Theobald said: “The bandstand is of historic and cultural importance to our city and much loved by our residents, so we are looking forward to returning this jewel in the seafront crown back to its former glory.“ Tenders to carry out the restoration are now being submitted. Work is expected to start later this year and finish by summer 2009.

LATESTNEWS Phil Mills tells one girl’s tragic tale to remind us all to stay safe in the sun this summer
Always use protection Thousands of sunbathers will be soaking up the rays on beaches in Brighton and Hove this summer but many will be running the risk of contracting skin cancer by failing to take precautions. As Cancer Research UK launches its sixth annual ‘Sunsmart‘ campaign, Latest 7 spoke to the family of Kate Martin who was busy making plans for her wedding, unaware that a deadly timebomb was ticking inside her. Kate and fiancé Joel French planned to marry at their village church, followed by a marquee reception in the grounds of a ruined manor house. Everyone was excited and looking forward to the big day, until one morning when Kate woke with crippling back pain. Kate, a 24-year-old veterinary nurse, never made it to the altar and died 21 days before her wedding day. The curate who was to perform the wedding service instead had to conduct Kate’s funeral and was among the many in the 250-strong congregation who broke down during the service. The cancer Kate thought had been defeated had returned. A mole on her back had been removed four years earlier but a few deadly cells had escaped and grown into a massive spinal tumour that spread to vital organs. No-one could believe it. Kate thought her cancer had gone. It hadn’t, and her young age meant the cancer grew at an alarming rate, faster than in older people. Her fiancé, parents and twin sister Ami were stunned with the speed it took Kate from them in March this year and agreed to speak of their loss to warn others. Joel, a 27-year-old TV production editor, said: “If Kate's story can help in saving just a few people from this dreadful disease, to
make people take care in the sun and have moles checked, then others will not have to suffer as she did.” The couple had been together since 2003. Joel said: “She was stunning and what drew me in was her amazing smile and a very genuine, caring, personality. It wasn’t hard for me to fall in love.” They moved to Lindfield, West Sussex, and it was on a trip to Paris that Joel proposed. “I was overjoyed when she said yes. I’d found the love of my life and we couldn’t have been happier.”

Good deed Acts of kindness or charity happen every day in the city but when one mends a teenager’s broken-heart then it becomes exceptional. And so it was for young Sam O’Rourke who had his bike stolen three days before he was to take part in a charity cycle ride to raise money to help take disabled people to Lourdes. The 16-year-old Cardinal Newman School student from Bevendean, Brighton, had worked on paper rounds to raise all of the £300 needed to buy the bike. He was planning to use it to travel to Lewes Sixth Form College later this year for his Alevel studies and had the bike only a month before thieves broke a security lock and stole it at Moulsecoomb railway station. All was lost – until Brighton police stepped in. They called Halfords in Lewes Road and
within a day Sam had a new bike, free of charge. He completed the LondonBrighton charity ride with his father Liam, 41, and sister Scarlet, 15, as planned but the whole experience left Sam stunned. His father said: “It was very emotional for him and I don’t think he could really believe what was going on. “He was broken-hearted one day and totally overwhelmed the next by the kindnesses shown and we can’t thank everyone enough.” Sergeant Paul Gossland was credited with doing the good deed but there was another guiding hand working behind the scenes. Inspector Steve Curry was also involved. Known as the force’s ‘Jim’ll Fix It’, good deeds are nothing new to him – he was the policeman who persuaded the Grand Hotel to accommodate a woman made homeless by arsonists at Christmas.

Joel said: “She felt it so important for others to realise the terrible dangers from skin cancer. She wanted her story to be made public in the hope others would see the devastation that such an innocuous thing as a mole can cause. She would urge others to seek help from doctors.” Kate’s parents’ Jill and her husband Michael, joined the call for people to take care with moles. Michael said: “We always used lotion and covered up in the sun. Kate occasionally used sun beds but she was always careful.”
Kate’s ashes were scattered in Ashdown Forest, a beauty spot where she and Joel would walk. He is still disbelieving and grieving. He said: “I miss my gorgeous girl every day, and can’t quite believe the love of my life has gone.” • Cancer Research UK said more than 9,000 malignant melanomas are diagnosed in the UK every year, and numbers have quadrupled since the 1970s. Melanoma is the most common cancer in young adults, and is more than twice as common in young women as young men. Over the last 25 years, rates of melanoma in Britain have risen faster than any other major cancer.

Grassroots or bust Ben Lewis asks what’s wrong with English football?
Girls Aloud – dream achievers or underwear sellers? Music writer Nick Aldwinckle recently gave a rather savage review to Girls Aloud at the Brighton Centre, calling their music “dull, lowrent dross”. He said: “The girls can’t really sing and they can’t dance. They’re paid to pout a little bit and sell underwear, which they do kind of well. There’s little fun for anyone who genuinely likes music here. As one Latest 7 reader recently wrote, it’s like ‘burlesque for kids’, though they forgot to add, minus talent.” His comments have now sparked a debate on our website www.latest7.co.uk I have eyes wrote: “To say they can’t sing is one thing... considering your obvious qualifications to judge this. But to say they can’t dance shows you really know nothing about them. “Each of them possess their own talent which you’d know if you looked passed their manufactured reputation. Rock/alternative fan are you? “They represent achieving your dreams no matter where you come from, if that’s not a good message to kids I don’t know what is.“ Hissing Fauna responded: “And since when was gyrating in a corset and stockings sending a good message to kids?! What kind of dream does that represent? “It was undeniably a great show (and that’s coming from someone who does ‘genuinely like music’) but there were times when I felt like covering my boyfriend’s eyes... if I’d had children with me I’d have been dragging them out of there well before the first number was up.”

Whilst the absence of England from Euro 2008 is source of bitterness for many, more reflective souls will have watched some of the fantastic football that has graced our screens and used it as a time for reflection on our own national game. For these people watching the likes of Holland, Portugal and Croatia attack with style, grace, energy and technical excellence will have served to highlight the inadequacies of what should have been a golden generation of English players. Criticism has come from all angles. Some have pointed at the influx of foreign players into the Premiership, others at the lack of highly experienced English coaches and many have simply questioned the commitment of the players to their national side. But whilst all of these are valid observations one thing is plain to see; as a nation we are good at producing solid midfield generals and sturdy centre backs but are failing to produce flair players in the mould of Ronaldo, Kaka and Lionel Messi – players that love the game for the game’s sake and can conjure something from nothing when it really matters. For this to be addressed we need to look at the grass roots and ask: are our children getting the right football education? For as long as football has been our national game parents have given up their Sundays to watch as children are pushed to win by ambitious managers and screamed at to “get rid of it” by dads desperate that their child doesn’t make the mistake that leads to a goal against the team. In fact, in some cases, junior clubs have been forced to make parents sign up to a code of conduct just to reduce the number of aggressive sideline incidents when their children are losing matches. Is this any way to nurture our young talent?
“Whilst our children are young we should allow them to develop a love of the game” In Portugal and Brazil they have a different approach. Young players play in small sided games where every player is guaranteed to have time on the ball. Seven year-olds are not branded defenders or attackers; they are just players and are encouraged to play all over the pitch. The number of goals in the game is high so children have a high success rate and confidence is built. But perhaps most significantly, the result is secondary to how the game is played, thus encouraging young players to try adventurous tricks and turns without the fear of getting it wrong and conceding a goal. Of course their comes a time when winning is important – whilst representing the three lions in Moscow on a cold October night for example – but whilst our children are young we should allow them to develop a love of the game and a confidence in playing it with style. Let’s hope we can learn this lesson soon and ensure the next generation don’t fail as spectacularly as the current one. Ben Lewis runs a Soccer School for children aged 4–11 on Saturday mornings at Varndean College, Brighton. He will also be running a 5–day intensive course for children aged 6–11 in the summer holidays (28 July–1 August).

Heady times Melina Greenfield looks at headaches and how to get control of that all too common pain
latest
If there were one ailment that we could all agree is a right pain in the neck it would be the common headache. We’ve all had them, and all cursed them. This normally non-harmful pain can usually be treated with over the counter painkillers, but so far, there is no cure. There is no single cause for headaches, they are usually put into two categories: tension headaches, which accounts for around 70 per cent of all headaches, and migraine headaches; responsible for over 20 per cent. Tension headache is caused by muscle contraction, which can be associated with; stress, fatigue, bad posture, eyestrain, alcohol, tobacco, and hormonal changes in women around their period. The symptoms tend to be a pain over all the head, or at the back of the head and neck, there maybe a stiffness of the neck. They will however disappear quite quickly if treated early. Migraines affect women more than men, and are caused by blood vessels in the neck and head constricting. Family history of migraine, stress, muscle tension, alcohol, lack of sleep, and women taking oral contraceptives can all be attributed to the cause of migraine. Often a migraine will start in the morning and get progressively worse over an hour; the pain can build into a constant throb, usually feeling worse on one side of the head, the sufferer may be sensitive to light or sound, feel nauseous or be sick and have visual problems. Migraines typically last a few hours, but can go on for several days. These types of headaches are certainly not exhaustive. Cluster headaches are another variety; symptoms are usually a sharp, shortlived pain, around the eye or temple on one side, they usually disrupt sleep and can result in a watering eye and blocked nose. If you are suffering from persistent undiagnosed headaches then a trip to your GP is advisable; they are normally non-harmful but can sometimes indicate a more serious problem. Fortunately, there are lots of treatments and preventions available and many you can implement yourself such as drinking lots of fluids, good sleep, painkillers, change in diet, relaxation, massage and herbal remedies. However some sufferers have found relief through acupuncture, anti-inflammatory drugs, injections, sprays and even botox. Headaches are unpleasant and range in severity; they are common but can become life restricting. If you are concerned about your headaches – don’t suffer in silence – use your head and get it checked over by a GP.

I am backstage at a fashion show right now, as I write this column and it’s bizarre – that’s the only word that can describe the rowdiness and haste right here. I am in-line for my make-up and it will take a while before it reaches my turn. I’ve decided to bring you ‘behind the scenes’ of a fashion show while the show is on, unless you are directly connected to the fashion business, or you have a job backstage, you have absolutely no idea what it is like here while the show is going on. Yet, it is the most realistic and hilarious behind the scenes look anyone can ever experience. Notice I am not just talking about the backstage of a fashion show, which I know some people may be able to enter before the show begins, or after it is over, but the backstage of a show while the show is going on. At this point, only those directly involved in the show are allowed backstage, and at this time, you are normally too busy to notice what is going on around you. Nonetheless, I decided to pay attention to the happenings backstage today so I can share it with you. The room is full and busy as designers are carrying out fittings; make-up artists are busy with some models, others are eating and chatting away; photographers are capturing the ‘before moments’ backstage, organisers are up and down making last minute checks, and there are so many other things happening. However, as busy as it may seem now, it is nothing compared to what it will be like once the show begins.
“I have just begun my make-up and hear we have just an hour to go until the show, no time at all” The choreographer has been up twice getting models in batches for last minute rehearsals. I have just begun my make-up and I hear we have just an hour to go before the show begins – that is no time at all. There is more rush backstage as the first set of models to walk the runway for the opening designer begin to put on their clothes. Make-up is retouched, and will be retouched each time the models return backstage. Routines are run through the hundredth time. Suddenly it’s five minutes to go with the models automatically linedup by the stage entrance. At the first “go” from the choreographer, the tension mounts – you can actually feel it in the room. As the first set of models return and the second immediately begin to make their appearance, the designers and stagehands are getting more models in, and out of clothes. There are three people dressing me at once. I feel another touching my hair but I cannot really concentrate as I hear the choreographer screaming, “Go, no not you. You, now!” two models move at once. Then he screams, “Stop not you. You!” Some girl is screaming she cannot find her shoes. She is told to wear those of the girl standing behind her. She complains they do not fit but when the choreographer shouts “Move!” she runs out barefooted. Boy, it is a crazy world back here. I have been on and off stage, in and out of clothes three times, and I’m still waiting to go. I pause for a second to look around: models are talking, laughing, shouting, looking for one thing or the other, but it’s amazing that within seconds they are ready to go on stage. We walk out for the final applauding as the designers take a bow, photographers – snap, snap, snap, then it’s over. Now you can exhale.

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD&DRINK
Hedge your bets Andrew Kay goes undercover at The Foragers in Hove and finds a feast fit for a king Forgive me for not getting here sooner. I know it’s been open for a year now but for some reason I have failed to run it over my gums and see if my palate salutes it. I am, of course, talking about The Foragers in darkest Hove. I seem to have had a bit of a blind spot, maybe a few people swayed me early on and since then I have been remiss in my actions. I apologise, I am here now, actually typing this as I eat and I have to say that I am already more than impressed. On the downside, parking here is awful, much like the rest of our city which through planning initiatives is suffering from arterial collapse. I’m in Hove but the car may as well be in Croydon. I have abandoned it and have a drink. And as I am alone, a habit I enjoy, I am indulging in writing as I go. The Foragers has a policy of serving local food in season and using foraged ingredients where they can. An admirable concept if they can pull it off, so I am eager to give their menu a thrashing. At the bar I order a Hendrick’s and tonic and without prompting they ask if I would like a slice of cucumber rather than lemon. Ten out of ten for attention to detail. I study the menu and I am spoiled for choice. In the end two dishes stand out so I order them and retire to a table. Before long it arrives, and in not much more time I have downed it. I follow it with a pint of Harveys, local yes, and as good a pint of draught as you could wish for.
‘‘Maybe I should take to a disguise, dark glasses, a headscarf, or would people mistake me for Jackie Collins? The resemblance is quite alarming‘‘
ingredients then bravo, or should that be brava. There’s a nice crowd in here too, well-brought up enough to ignore my constant flashing (the camera), and it’s gotten busy too. I say that with an accent, as a man at the next table is tucking into southern fried organic Sussex chicken like he has never eaten before, and I have to say it looks digit dippin’ delicious. Excuse me while I pop to the bar in search of a pud, it’s my foraging moment I guess. Oh lord, such choices, such excesses – and all hearty too. If I say that the chocolate pot of joy that I have ordered is the lightest option, then believe me. I have no room for cheese, sticky toffee whatever or treacle tart but there is always a place in my tummy for bit of chocolate. I remember that I was initially put off by reports of too many children and high prices but I am experiencing neither. My scallops were fat and juicy and at £6.10 very reasonable, I have paid far more for far less in both quantity and quality. Braised bunny at £12.90 was equally good value. I have no qualms with these prices when this much work has been put in. And quite clearly the child catcher has done his rounds already. A bell in the kitchen has rung, I suspect it’s pudding. I am not hungry, in the slightest, but I have to know that they can go the whole mile. Oh my god they can, it’s simply divine. A bit cheffy on the plate but who cares when a pudding tastes this good? I’m glad I am alone, there’s no one to ask for a taste. I’m licking hazelnut cream off my moustache and I know for sure that I have been rumbled. Ah well, at least I can tell them that I have enjoyed my dinner, imagine if it had not been up to the mark. Maybe I should take to wearing a disguise, big dark glasses and a headscarf perhaps, or would that lead people to mistaking me for Jackie Collins, the resemblance is, after all, quite alarming. Now if you don’t mind I must get on with these strawberries – and perhaps another pint . The Foragers, 3 Stirling Place, Hove BN3 3YU. Call: 01273 733134
My first course of scallops with marsh samphire takes me back to student days summering in Kings Lynn, the home of samphire. It’s good; tender and not too salty, a lemon butter sauce is delicate and properly made and the presentation is pretty. A bit cheffy maybe but not arch. So far ten out of ten has been maintained, and the Harveys is hitting the spot too. At this point soppy loons who will eat chicken but baulk at devouring bunny should look away. Yes, rabbit – braised and served with wild kale. I can’t say which was the bigger draw, the greens or the bunny. I was not to be disappointed either, this handsome beast had been treated with a great deal of respect, braised long and with lots of celery and carrot to keep it moist and make it sweet. The flesh simply fell from the bones and the offal was perfectly tender and mild. Rabbit is not a pretty dish to eat, you do end up with a lot of debris, but cooked this well it is about as easy as it gets, and it knocks chicken into a cocked hat for taste. I did have a rabbit dish once that was dainty and easy to eat but that was at Le Cabro d’Or in Baux-de-Provence and I suspect it came with a hefty price on its neck. I struggled with the kale, by which I mean that I struggled not to polish it off all at once – god it was good. As was the buttery truffled mash, although this did, in the long term, cause a problem as the combination of gravy and potato gradually camouflaged the meat – such trials. All in all though, despite a few lumps in the mash, the standard was being held and I was equally impressed to see that as a pub serving great food it has managed to retain a drinking crowd too. I mourn the loss of so many of our backstreet boozers to the dismal fate of failed ‘gastro’ pubs. Not here, it’s a pub serving great food and not a restaurant serving beer. I am, in fact, having so much of a nice time that I cannot raise the energy to challenge how much of my dinner was foraged. I care not, it was tasty, fresh and seasonal. If it was locally sourced too then hurrah, and if the chef had risked life and limb in a field of nettles for any of the 18 latest 7

Under review Here’s our round up of recent local shows, plus there’s oodles of reviews online at www.latest7.co.uk Dan Antopolski – Penetrating Stare One of the best Edinburgh previews performed so far, Antopolski’s freestyle punning, clever thought process and silly-inthe-right-way raps made each of us feel special. With an audience of approximately six this could have been awkward for such an acclaimed comic, but he simply introduced himself to us individually, then to each other and kicked off from there. Well worth checking out and tipped for the top, try and catch his show next time at Upstairs at Three and Ten at the end of July. Komedia Studio, 13 June ✌✌✌✌ Victoria Nangle Dan Antopolski
Paul Merton and His Improv Chums Improv is a funny ol’ game, or rather (hopefully) a very funny set of games using audience suggestions to fuel the hilarity. Paul Merton has become the British ambassador for this sort of thing
and, accompanied by his ‘chums’, he delivers a very impressive show indeed. One game found Paul trying to guess that he was the man who perforates chicken wire with Brighton rock for Boris Yeltsin on Yom Kippur. Special mention must be given to ‘chum’ Lee Simpson who was uniformly incredible. There could have been a bit more variety to the games, but this is a minor gripe for such an entertaining show. The Dome, 16 June ✌✌✌✌ Gordon Collins
Restlesslist Tonight’s show is the album launch party for this Brighton act’s debut, The Rise and Fall of the Curtain Club, and they certainly know how to do just that. The fancy dress theme is ‘under the sea’ as the sweaty climes of The Hope are sucked into Restlesslist’s fantastical, alien world of pop. Bursting with life and creativity, this is far removed from the indie guitar of drummer Thomas White’s other bands The Electric Soft Parade and Brakes. Instrumental Tarantino surfpop dances furiously with big beat, grinding math-rock and a swaggering baggy groove as a bold new hope for Brighton’s scene makes its mark. The Hope, 13 June ✌✌✌✌ Nick Aldwinckle
Seann Walsh
So You Think You’re Funny Overall, this South East heat of one of the most prestigious standup comedy competitions simply confirmed the high quality of laughter Brighton has to offer the rest of the country. Jim Holland was polished, Lee Hume got big laughs with his deadpan delivery and audience connection and Alex Maple was great fun with his random cricket references and Danny Kaye-style rhymes. A particular high note was Seann Walsh, closing the night in a whurr of blithely coherent energy and a tale of fire alarms and salami, closely followed by Rich Perry who was confident and likeable in his performance. There were a couple of performers who just weren’t ready for such a big stage, but their own supporters ensured they didn’t feel it too badly. A great representation, it’s just a shame there were no female comics joining the ranks. Komedia, 12 June ✌✌✌✌ Victoria Nangle
HOT REVIEW OF THE WEEK Marc Almond The clean modernist lines of the De La Warr were a perfect setting for Almond. Dressed in simple black he thrilled an audience of fans of all ages with a set that encompassed his entire career. Making no apologies, he sang Jacques Brel and Scott Walker, torch songs, ballads, pop, disco and even Russian folk songs. His voice is stronger than ever, his performance passionate and his band excellent, replacing synths with a female string and brass section to brilliant effect, especially for ‘Tainted Love’. Marc Almond is a skinny stick of Southport rock with the word CHARISMA running right through it. De La Warr Pavilion Bexhill-on-Sea , 7 June

Quartermaine’s Terms Simon Gray’s 1963 play seemed as appropriate as ever with its cockeyed and politically incorrect view of a sub-strata of academic life in Cambridge. But what really made this performance so special was the incredible intimacy with which it was played. There was a surprisingly large amount of faceacting for a stage production and one had to wonder if those in the rear of the theatre would have enjoyed that. But for those of us in the stalls this was a top rate evening that had me laughing, smiling and in the end brought a tear to my eye. Outstanding performances all round.

What ho! Spiffing fun with Jeeves at the Devonshire Park Theatre, Eastbourne PG Wodehouse’s classic character, Jeeves, returns in a new production of Come On, Jeeves at the Devonshire Park Theatre, Eastbourne from 14–19 July. Victor Spinetti and well-loved British star Anita Harris lead the cast in this spiffing tale. While Bertie Wooster is out of town, the inimitable Jeeves, is on loan to the Earl of Towcaster.

With an unpaid bet, a furious punter on his heels, a loud, wealthy, widowed American clairvoyant wanting to buy his crumbling mansion, and his fiancée and family asking awkward questions, this could be a challenging day for Bill. One which only Jeeves can sort out in his usual impeccable style. The cast also features Judy Buxton (On the Up), Derren Nesbitt (Where Eagles Dare) and Myfanwy Waring (The Bill). Jeeves is played by Richard Pocock who starred in 2006’s Eastbourne pantomime, Sleeping Beauty. Come On, Jeeves at the Devonshire Park Theatre, Eastbourne, Monday 14–Saturday 19 July.

Director: Jean-Paul Salomé After directing Arsène Lupin in 2004, Salomé returns with this high octane period thriller. Set in 1944 and inspired by decorated SOE agent Lisé de Baissac, the film follows a group of female resistance fighters enlisted into the British Special Service.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (PG)
Dir: Andrew Adamson That wonderful Christian nutter C. S. Lewis gets his legacy mashed by Hollywood yet again. Following the atrocious 2005 adaptation, the Pevensie children return to Narnia, only to discover that hundreds of years have passed. With the help of a heroic mouse called Reepicheep and the exiled heir to the throne, Prince Caspian, they set out to overthrow the evil king with the help of Aslan the talking lion. The CGI is wildly overblown but this is a significant improvement in the franchise. Showing at Cineworld, Odeon & Worthing
Great Expectations/ Madeleine (PG) Dir: David Lean The Duke of York’s continue their David Lean retrospective with this dramatic double bill. Great
Expectations sees Lean tackle Charles Dickens in a highly atmospheric epic starring John Mills as the plucky orphan Pip and Jean Simmons as Estella. Madeleine, meanwhile, is based on the true story of Madeleine Smith, a young Glasgow woman who stood trial in 1857 for the murder of her lover. Both are tender efforts from a man who revelled in the darker reflections of human relations. Showing at Duke of York’s
Hancock (12A)
Dir: Peter Berg Since directing the hilariously cynical Very Bad Things in 1998, Berg has been making gruff machismo efforts like Friday Night Lights and The Kingdom. This time he’s a bit more tongue-in-cheek as Will Smith plays a hard-living superhero who enlists the help of Jason Bateman’s PR guru to help repair his damaged public image. A joyfully irreverent and original take on the superhero genre. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon
Kung Fu Panda (PG)
Dir: Mark Osborne and John Stevenson This latest effort from super studio Dreamworks is a CG-animated comedy about a lazy, irreverent slacker panda called Po, who must become a kung fu master in order to save his furry friends from the villainous snow leopard, Tai Lung. What it lacks in detail it makes up for in humorous sight gags, gleeful abandon and Jackie Chan. Showing at Cineworld Craig Driver

FILM Your character in Brothers And Sisters is gay. Do people assume you are, too? Not really, but I get a lot of gay men who feel slightly cheated when they find out I’m straight. It’s very flattering, though. How have you found having to kiss another man? I’ve played gay roles before and it’s not awkward at all. If you’re secure in yourself, it isn’t a problem. The amount of women on set that love coming to watch – it is surprising. Do you like living in LA? It’s fine – there’s a really big British community, so when you need a fix of British humour, there’s someone to hang out with. I grew up with Ioan Gruffudd and he lives over there now – just around the corner from me. Jonny Lee Miller has just started work on a TV series there, too
Poetic licence Matthew Rhys talks to Latest 7 about his role as Dylan Thomas in new biopic The Edge of Love You played Dylan Thomas in The Edge of Love. How did you enjoy working with Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley? It's the stuff of dreams – it’s what you hope for when you sign up for this stupid profession. They’re both lovely, the film is great – it’s all brilliant to be frank. We understand that there’s a threesome scene in the film? That’s a fantastic fabrication, but it’s not true. It's hinted at in the film, but there isn’t any real naughtiness. I tried to convince the director to have a threesome scene after all!
Also showing… A quick look at what’s on this week 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 fourth Indy movie is here! The creative team responsible for the original 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. 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 adventure-packed jaunt are Transformers hot property Shia LaBoeuf as rebellious sidekick, Ray Winstone as rival adventurer, Cate Blanchett as the Russian villain and small roles for Brits John Hurt and Jim Broadbent. Reviews have been mixed, so can pensioner Ford still cut it as The Man in the Hat?

Why do you think Brits are so popular in America right now? I honestly don’t know, but I know that it’s pissing a lot of US actors off. I’m just happy that I caught the wave and I’m having a good time. How do you find doing an American accent? It’s really difficult. (Australian actress) Rachel Griffiths and I have a voice coach who puts our lines on to CDs. I listen in the car and repeat the lines back, which makes me look a bit mad when I’m stuck at the traffic lights. Is it true that you once did a full-frontal in Cannes? How did you know about that? Yes, Ioan and I drunkenly dared each other from a hotel that overlooked a red carpet premiere. We’re respectable now, honest! Keira or Sienna: who’s better? I can’t say that! If the other one ever read this, they’d kill me.
scientist Bruce Banner as an experiment goes wrong, turning him into a big green ball of rage. Though Lee’s artsy first film was a critical success, it didn’t make quite as many millions as hoped, so this time round, the action’s dumbeddown for maximum financial clout. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon The Edge Of Love (15) Dir: John Maybury The story of legendary poet Dylan Thomas (Matthew Rhys) told through the lives of two extraordinary women. Vera Phillips (Keira Knightley) and Dylan were teenage lovers – ten years on, the two reconnect in London. But Thomas is now married to cabaret showgirl Caitlin (Sienna Miller). Despite their loverivalry, we see the two women form a surprising friendship. Showing at Odeon, Duke of York’s
blockbuster, Iron Man, this lumbering sequel takes an acclaimed cast (Edward Norton as the not-so-jolly green giant, Tim Roth as nemesis The Abomination and Liv Tyler as love interest Betty Ross) and transplants these thesps to a big, fun monster of a film. A re-imagining of The Hulk’s origin presented in a more actionpacked style than Ang Lee’s meditative, psycho-analytical first film, this follows
Wanted (18) Dir: Timur Bekmambetov Based upon Mark Millar's explosive graphic novel series ‘Wanted’ is the story of 25-year-old nobody, Wes (James McAvoy) whose life changes when he meets a woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie). After his estranged father is murdered, the deadly sexy Fox recruits Wes into The Fraternity, a secret society that trains Wes to avenge his father's death by unlocking his dormant powers. As she teaches him how to develop lightning-quick reflexes and
phenomenal agility, Wes discovers this team lives by an ancient, unbreakable code: to carry out the death orders given by fate itself. The Fraternity's enigmatic leader, Sloan (Morgan Freeman) and Fox both teach Wes everything he needs to become the world’s best assassin and soon he realises that he alone controls his destiny. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon A Complete History Of My Sexual Failures (18) Dir: Chris Waitt He's been dumped by every girl he's ever been out with and now he's decided to find out why. Equipped with a camera and a microphone, Chris sets out to interview every girl he's ever been out with and ask them the all-important question: “what's wrong with me?“ After visiting a doctor, a shrink, a dominatrix, taking an entire pack of Viagra and having numerous doors slammed in his face, Chris finally gets his ex-girlfriends to talk, although whether or not he's ready to hear what they have to say is another matter. In this very funny debut from director Chris Waitt (MTV's Fur TV), we see a man bare all (quite literally, in some instances) in an attempt to learn more about himself and the women who got away.

Nurseries and playgroups are being urged to join in the fight against meningitis Meningitis is a deadly disease that kills hundreds of children and adults each year. Of all the infectious diseases present in the UK, meningitis is the biggest killer of the under-fives. Every day at least two children will contract this deadly disease. The charity Meningitis UK is battling the meningitis bug on two fronts: firstly, by helping to fund the search for a vaccine that will wipe out the deadly disease, and secondly, by continuing to raise awareness among parents, young people themselves and those who work with them. The disease is notoriously difficult to detect, as its symptoms are very similar to those for the common cold or flu. Sometimes people show very few symptoms – or none at all. Because of this, Meningitis UK believes that the only way to truly eradicate the disease is to develop a preventative vaccine. Last year, it launched a seven million pound fundraising drive to develop just such a vaccine. Now, the charity is urging nurseries and playgroups across the UK to join in the fight by holding ‘Big Bug Hunt’ events in September and October this year. The project has been designed to appeal to pre-school children’s love of bugs, and will involve a variety of events and activities tailored to the abilities and interests of tots. Groups could choose to run a sponsored bug hunt or obstacle course, or organise a fancy dress or colouring competition. The aim will be to have fun and raise money, while learning about meningitis. Money raised will go towards the search for a vaccine, but groups will have the option of keeping a quarter of the cash for their own organisation. “The Big Bug Hunt is really easy to organise and has been designed specificially to fit around the needs of playgroups and nurseries,” says Kate Rowland, event coordinator. “Not only will it be really fun, but there are also endless opportunities for learning – whether the children are counting bug’s legs, painting and colouring or searching and exploring.” Taking part in the Big Bug Hunt will be a fun way to highlight a very serious message. And if the search for a vaccine is successful, it will go on to save thousands of lives in the future. A free resource pack is available which includes stickers for every child, tips for running an event, sponsorship forms and symptom cards for parents.

NEWS Artists Open Houses 19 June and MyHotel Cath Farr was the location for two prestigious awards; for Best Open House and Best Artist at this year’s Artists Open Houses in May, as part of the Brighton Fringe Festival. The Brighton-based search engine consultancy iCrossing sponsored the Best Artist Award which was won by Tim Slatter. All houses were visited individually over the first weekend of the festival which resulted in a shortlist of 20 houses for the iCrossing judging panel to visit. The judges then voted for their favourite artists which formed the shortlist for the rest of the 200 iCrossing staff to vote. The shortlist also included Lucy Cash, Rob Peel and Rich Townsend. Joogleberrys, in conjunction with Latest 7 and Latest Homes, sponsored and selected the winner of the best Open House Award. Cath Farr: The Art of Fun won the award, which was accepted on behalf of Cath by her partner, actor and comedian Mark Little. As well as the photographs of Cath, ‘Art of Fun’ also featured the stained glass of Anna Davies, medieval fencing and no-nail technology courtesy of The Stick Man, and a Mark Little /Cath Farr collaboration – ‘Latex’ and ‘Digital and Burnt Stick’. Also on the shortlist for this award were The Glasshouse Open House, York Place Studios, and Preparing For Emergencies.
Mission to spray Hutch is the latest Brighton artist to be taken on by Art Republic With 20 odd years experience in screenprinting and stencil-based artwork, Hutch has decorated walls, canvasses, t-shirts, and pull prints for fellow street artists. Influenced by the figurative work of some of the ‘old masters’ and more recently, the repetition of Warhol, Japanese packaging, monochrome stencil-based street art, 50s imagery, and the female form, Hutch has gone on to apply spray paint to all sorts of surfaces... Recently he got picked up by the Scrawl
Collective in London which led to him being spotted by Brighton’s Art Republic where you can now buy his work. He’s also been to the Can Festival recently, painting alongside some serious names in the world of graffiti including Blek Le Rat, Jef Aerosol, C215, Noodles and Bandir, and has been involved in a Brighton collective called Grafik Warfare, as well as continuing his street art. www.hutchpiece.co.uk www.artrepublic.com

COVERSTORY extraordinary interiors of Brighton’s own Royal Pavilion. In his glowing review, national art critic Richard Dorment said: “Don’t even dream of going to this exhibition without also visiting the Pavilion.” The Royal Pavilion is an exhibit in its own right – the most dazzling example of chinoiserie style to be seen in Britain. A flamboyant backdrop for romance, seduction and intrigue, it is effervescent with mandarin figures, faux bamboo and dragons in abundance. For the duration of Chinese Whispers only, there are additional special loans from HM The Queen of items originally made for the Royal Pavilion and newly displayed in their original setting. They include extravagant gilded clocks and a four metre high porcelain pagoda in pride of place in the extravagant Music Room. Chinese Whispers continues at Brighton Museum until 2 November. Go now, and you’ll have time to go again later in the run! In the visitor book, comments already speak for themselves: “Delectable”, “Really gorgeous”, “Breathtaking”, “A sheer delight”, “How lovely to have this marvellous exhibition in Brighton”. Admission to Brighton Museum is A Chinese Court Official, free, but tickets are payable for the unfired clay, The Royal Pavilion exhibition (half price for residents of Brighton and Hove, with proof of address). The Royal Pavilion is open all year round, also with reduced ticket prices for local residents. At only £6.75 for Brighton and Hove residents – less than the price of a glass of sparkling champagne – you can visit both. It’s an experience not to be missed! Alongside Chinese Whispers, Brighton Museum also offers an exciting programme of events and activities on all aspects of chinoiserie. For full details, look up www.virtualmuseum.info.

The Long Gallery, The Royal Pavilion
Exotic style Chinese Whispers: Chinoiserie in Britain 1650-1930. A major exhibition at Brighton Museum, featuring the Royal Pavilion Chinoiserie is an exotic style which has gone in and out of fashion for centuries. Is chinoiserie the new chic? This summer’s current focus on all things Chinese may herald a major resurgence in oriental influence in homes across the country. Chinese Whispers shows how it has been done before – by those with lavish amounts to spend, as well as people of more modest means – and inspires people who want to have a go at it today. Greeted by glittering gold and scintillating silver, visitors to this sumptuous and extravagant exhibition are drawn into a magical world of flamboyant furniture, vibrant wallpapers and embroidered silk garments to die for. The witty wall paintings reflect this taste, as does the assembly of ceramics, paintings and fans with their serpents, willow pattern, stories of romantic couples and mysterious mandarins, and funny little figures of esoteric gods.

The height of luxury is a Chippendale day bed from two centuries ago – displayed with a cleverly positioned mirror to see inside the richly decorated canopy. Seductive 20th century extravagances include Lalique jewellery, richly embroidered silk coats and pyjamas, and a jacket astonishingly laden with sequins. Chinese Whispers is the biggest exhibition to hit Brighton for years. It contains numerous objects on loan from HM The Queen, and many loans from national and private collections which are not normally on public view. A unique opportunity to see pieces brought together from all over the country, Chinese Whispers also makes sense of the

Kings of the wild frontier Katie Glass dons her cowboy boots and rodeos way out west with photographer Poppy de Villeneuve If the stereotypes are to be believed then the Mexican border of the Lone Star State is not a place you go to make art. Traditionally, the no-man’s-land where the Texas border meets Mexico is more likely to evoke images of redneck cowboys, trailer parks and J.R. from Dallas, than of creative and political communities, ripe with artistic inspiration. But for her first solo show – ‘This is a story of hope and we are all characters in it’, displayed earlier this year at London’s Paradise Row Gallery – Poppy de Villeneuve ventured beyond the cowboys and cattle to discover a collection of people as interesting as they are diverse. And as unique and surprising as the area they represent. “It’s a shame we imagine these people to be really stupid and lacking in culture because actually they’re very interesting and a lot of them are really intelligent,” explains Poppy, after months spent travelling the wilderness of the Tex-Mex border, convincing its residents to pose for her. “They’re not people who have just ended up in the middle of nowhere. A lot of them have actively chosen to be in that environment – because they want the space, or they want to escape, or they don’t agree with what the American Government is doing.” Poppy – whose father is the famous 60s stylist Justin de Villeneuve, and the man credited with discovering Twiggy – admits that some of her affinity with the area arises out of her own sense of displacement. Drawn to La Frontiera – the last frontier, a stretch of desert that flanks the Rio Grande – Poppy found herself addressing her own sense of displacement, and her own place on the fringes: “My mother’s from Middle America, Ohio, and my dad’s from east London. But I moved to New York two years ago so I think of myself as half British and half American,” Poppy rationalises. “I can sound quite American, but also I think I have a nice British accent. So I understand the feeling of being removed from a situation.” Perhaps it’s this sense of empathy that makes Poppy’s portraits so effective. Certainly she has mastered the unnerving juxtaposition of creating pieces that are both minimalist yet intimate. But, as she explains, the lack of cohesion in the place itself is often what drew her and her subjects closer together. “It’s a very wild place. You’re so removed from your usual environment, so it’s a very intense and a very overwhelming and emotional experience. Because of that and because it’s in the middle of nowhere, you form close relationships with the people you’re working with. You meet people and they become your family-away-from-home.” Interviewing and then photographing her subjects for periods that sometimes spanned into months, Poppy worked with each sitter to create a portrait that reflected their individuality as much as her own vision.
Asked how she encountered and worked with her subjects, she explains: “You travel around, people introduce you to new people who you interview, and then you meet more people through them. It’s like putting pieces of a puzzle together. You might meet someone and they work as an interview but not as a photograph, and sometimes it’s the other way around. So you have to work with them one-to-one to reveal things – it’s like a little dance with them – and sometimes it takes five minutes and sometimes it takes months.” While Poppy’s work reflects the social aspect of the place from which her subjects came, she points out that they themselves affected their environment: “I didn’t try to position them or style them too much. They are extraordinary-looking people anyway, added to which they’ve visibly been affected by the weather – because it’s so extreme there. Even after a couple of weeks I noticed my skin felt different.” But ultimately what is so interesting about Poppy’s exhibition is not that she has succeeded in capturing images of an alternative way of life or an alien culture, but rather that her audience finds themselves more drawn to similarities they share with her subjects than tier differences. It’s a subtle effect, but as Poppy says: “You can’t assume your audience doesn’t have a brain. You can keep it simple and leave them to pick up the pieces.” Expressing her subjects’ underlying humanity, Poppy seeks to reveal that as human beings we share something greater than the countries and borders that distance us. Her work reveals humanity to be universal, whilst also maintaining faith in the humanist conviction that images can spark empathy and communicate with feeling. “What I wanted to show was that they are extraordinary people, but they are also very ordinary characters – they have the same things going on as all of us. They may seem unusual but they represent the big picture. They have the same concerns as all of us and that’s why I called the exhibition ‘This is a story of hope and we are all characters in it’. In the end we are all fragile, just in different ways.”

Unique Brighton Brighton’s Sydney Street Gallery is offering local photographers and students the chance to showcase their work in an exhibition Unique Brighton. This new photographic gallery and shop will host the event on 4 July and for the duration of the month, the winning entrant gaining pride of place in the gallery window. All other winning entrants will be exhibited in the gallery during the course of July. Gallery owner Claudine Sinnett is trying to reveal the true nature of Brighton, from its colourful characters to its interesting architecture, subcultures and street style. “Running a photographic gallery in Brighton means everyone expects you to churn out pictures of seagulls and the pier and that’s well and good, but with this exhibition I really wanted to show what Brighton is all about,” she says.

Pure Evil To understand a bit about the artist Pure Evil you need to know that he is a descendant of Sir Thomas More, the Lord Chancellor who wrote the controversial work Utopia and who was later beheaded by King Henry VIII. Therefore, it is only natural that Pure Evil should explore the darker side of the wreckage of Utopian dreams and the myth of the Apocalypse, an event that brings history with all its conflicts to an end. Using dark humour and twisting symbolism to create new forms, the new show looks at what lurks around the corner on the secret streets of London and sheds light on the things under our noses that we never take the time to notice… Pure Evil, 4 July–2 Aug, Ink_d Gallery, North Road, Brighton, www.ink-d.co.uk

STAND-UP COMEDY&BOOKS
A laughing matter
Write club
Victoria Nangle finds it hot in the city and is looking forward to the new breed of comedy festivals this summer To quote the legendary Cole Porter: “It’s too darn hot!” Once you’ve finished sweltering in the office all day the last thing any of us want to do is go on down to a pokey little basement club, large arena venue or medium-sized theatre to endure more of the stuffiness. Whether you’re on or off the stage, the problem is the same for us all. The boys from The Mighty Boosh have thought about tackling this full on summer assault on comedy by erecting their brand-spanking new comedy festival. No more standing in a field listening to a band in a daze, here’s our chance to go wandering around from tent to tent catching more punchlines flying than you’d find out on an evening with Groucho Marx, Tim Vine and Joan Rivers. Quite how it’ll work is anybody’s guess, but as it’s come together as somebody’s “I have a dream...” moment it’s quite nice to see ideas arriving first, followed by practicalities second on such a large scale.
“Catching more punchlines flying than you’d
find out on an evening with Groucho Marx and Joan Rivers” There has been comedy at the regular run-of-the-mill festivals for some time now. Hardly surprising considering it’s been ‘the new rock ’n’ roll on and off for the last 20 years, not even counting the likes of Lenny Bruce who went trailblazing and got censored more times than most East Coast rappers. Comedy rocks and pushes the boundaries with its content, without even dipping into its lifestyle. Ya-boo-sucks to you regular rock ’n’ roll. So much more cutting edge than you could ever possibly be. So with this in mind it’s hardly surprising that there’s going to be a comedy festival come this summer where all the cool kids’ll be, laughing, thinking and drinking. Why it’s practically a philosophy club of the modern age. Comedy tents have been around for a while, so how this one behaves differently as the comics take centre stage will be an interesting experiment. Will the lunatics have taken over asylum? Will the funny people show up the musicians and show them how it’s done? Will the audience interaction have to take a bit of a breather? All these questions will have answers by this time next week as the test festival approaches. Hopefully. Quite apart from the logistics of how to organise what are essentially a collection of self-employed abstract thinkers, there’s always the query of how well comedy can work in the daylight. Eat that rock ’n’ rollers – we’re even more gothic than you are.
Letter from America: John Davies writes to Brighton on a surprise journey to the States Dear Brighton Last Saturday my old mate Shedman ran a drop-in workshop at the Jubilee Library. People young and old wrote about their best bloke (dad, stepdad, whatever…) in advance of Fathers Day. Workshops like this often reveal two things – the sublime creativity of people who often don’t think they have a creative bone in their body and the dismissive voice that tells the same people they are no good. Relic of parent or self-created censor, this voice blocks potential. A few best blokes must have had a nice surprise the next day, although some may have discovered that their children knew them much better than they might realise. Here’s just one of the poems ‘A poem about my dad‘, by James. He’s as obvious as pink As smooth as silver birch As stubborn as a dandelion As strong as a beetle As graceful as a seal As loud as a rooster As average as a Saab As short as a bulldog As proud as Britain Despite his flaws he made me.
Henry David Thoreau author of Walden (below)
Tuesday 1
Saturday 5
I’m now in Concord, Massachusetts, en route for Yale University. I heard last week that the DVD I wrote and directed for the new Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital has won Gold in the American Science and Health Communication Awards. Further international recognition for Brighton’s writing skills across different genres and media! Shedman, who accompanies me on all these journeys, has taken the opportunity to visit the town where one of his role models once lived. Henry David Thoreau wrote Walden. “There is an incessant influx of novelty into the world,“ wrote Thoreau, “and yet we tolerate incredible dullness“. Nothing much changes then. Writing before the invention of the internal combustion engine or the radio. He questions the world of surfaces. ‘We are sound asleep nearly half our time. Yet we esteem ourselves wise, and have an established order on the surface.’ And he invites us to investigate our interior world with as much diligence as we cling to the exterior. He’s a prophet in terms of the environment and psychotherapy, a very modern man. Yet the wonderful story I love about Thoreau is that during the time he put himself apart, studying and writing in his cabin in the woods, his mother used to come by and pick up his washing. A very modern man indeed. However, the real reason I’m writing, Brighton, is about Open Mics. The Colonial Inn where I’m staying in Concord (pop 17,000) had an open mic last night in its Forge Bar. There was a respectable turn out of around 40 including the open mic singer-songwriters themselves. Food was being served but it didn’t interfere in the slightest with the music because the PA system was superb, the musicians were positioned in exactly the right place for the audience and the work of the bar, and there was no noise from the kitchen or the other parts of the hotel. The venue is free. The singers passed round the hat. Everyone had a great evening. What’s so difficult about this Brighton? Why do so many of your venues have a problem putting on gigs?

NEWS Sonic Arts Network From a Brighton and Hove Albion installation at Churchill Square, a wiki-conference at Brighton University, a performance at Jubilee Library and a ‘Sonic Picnic’ day at Pavilion Gardens, the Sonic Arts Network Expo is three days and nights of ‘sonic art’, in association with Brighton’s Radio Reverb. Showcase events include: a wiki-conference to discuss ideas that intersect with sound art; ‘Sussex by the Sea’ – an exploration of Withdean Stadium, a medium of expression and communication of football crowd chant and song and an architecture of sound; ‘Horatio Oratorio’ – an audio-visual exploration through the history of recorded sound; and ‘Sonic Picnic’, a Sunday afternoon picnic featuring experimental radio intervention covering Pavilion Gardens with temporary small area broadcasts. Bring a portable radio (or hire one from them for the day), take a walk and discover the secret radio stations amongst the undergrowth. Sonic Arts Network Expo 2008, Friday 4 – Sunday 6 July. www.sonicartsnetwork.org
Paddle round The Pier Founded by Dave Samuel back in 1996 Paddle Around The Pier is a fundraising event whose original concept was to bring all the surfers in the area together for a social gathering and to raise funds for charity including the RNLI, Surfers Against Sewage, The Rockinghorse Appeal and SurfAid International. Featuring loads of water sports (including the annual Paddle round The Pier), a trading village and a swimwear competition there’s also two days of live music featuring Los Albertos, Alex Gigante, Samsara, The Railin’ Stains, Two Spot Gobi and Doll and the Kicks, plus many others. Saturday 5–Sunday 6 July, www.paddleroundthepier.com The Railin’ Stains
Glasto del Sol Brighton’s own Doll and the Kicks are through to the final five of the ‘Fast Track To Benicassim’ contest, with the winning unsigned band gaining a slot at this year’s popular Spanish music festival alongside Morrissey, My Bloody Valentine and Gnarls Barkley.

Neil Young
Let’s do the Hop Nick Aldwinckle on two new one-day festivals launching this week at Kent’s Hop Farm, headlined by Neil Young and The Mighty Boosh The Kent countryside’s not renowned for its thriving music festival circuit, but that may be about to change with not one, but two new events entering the fray this week. The inaugural Hop Farm Festival, headlined by the one and only Neil Young, with sterling support from Primal Scream, Supergrass and Rufus Wainwright is due to take place Sunday 6 July at the Hop Farm in Beltring, near Paddock Wood. The day before, on Saturday 5 July at the same venue, those Mighty Boosh rascals have curated their own event blurring the lines between music and comedy. Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding’s own band headline with The Charlatans, Gary Numan, The Kills, Peaches and many more music and comedy acts padding out the line-up. Both festivals are devised by semi-legendary music promoter Vince Power – he who helped get Reading, Leeds, Glastonbury and Benicassim where they are today – with the intention of bringing the increasingly commercialised festival scene back to its less profiteering roots. Getting the whole thing off the ground without any corporate sponsorship is a good start, as is the egalitarian measure of having no VIP areas, with every ticket-holder entitled to the same level of access. With a stellar line-up for a pretty reasonable £49.50 for each day, it just might be a nice change to the usual money-grabbing British festival experience. Aside from the big headlining music acts at The Mighty Boosh Festival, performing live will be Har Mar Superstar, White Denim, Polar Bear and TV show regulars Robots in Disguise. The perma-

deadpan Jarvis Cocker plays a rare DJ set and the comedy tent is headlined by in-a-world-ofhis-own charmer Ross Noble, Mock the Week star Frankie Boyle and Garth Marenghi himself, Matthew Holness. Sunday’s Neil Young-led event features a live return for popular US proggy rockers My Morning Jacket, sensitive types Guillemots and Laura Marling and former Clash man and Libertines producer Mick Jones’ new band, Carbon/Silicon. www.booshfestival.co.uk. www.hopfarmfestival.com NA

MUSIC Eddy Grant Born in Guyana, and emigrating to London as a boy, he’s just about to release a ‘best of’ package and of course this tour gives him the chance to wheel out all the hits and re-establish himself after a few years away from the limelight. Expect ‘I Don’t Wanna Dance’, ‘Electric Avenue’ and ‘Living on the Frontline’. Tuesday 1 July, Concorde 2. Why? Always looking forward and able to combine pop-inflected psychedelic folk-hop, this is one of the most interesting and rewarding acts to have emerged this century, artistic music made by artists, rarely overdoing it in the intellectual stakes, and remembering that underneath all that abstraction there needs to be a beat, a pulse, and a melody. Brilliant. Tuesday 1 July, Audio Pentangle In the heyday of folk-rock a band like pentangle were able to attain star status and achieve huge sales via their albums. Featuring the original line-up that includes Bert Jansch, Jacqui McShee and Danny Thompson, Pentangle were indeed a gloriously musical group who uniquely fused folk, rock and jazz within their stunning repertoire. A treat. Wednesday 2 July, Dome Julian Velard Continuing the current fascination with music from the 70s, Velard is a piano-bashing Elton John type who also has music by Harry Nilsson and Andrew Gold in his armoury. Tuesday 1 July, Hope Glasvegas Massively hyped Glasgow band, not least by their manager, the hyperbolic Alan McGee. Their post Jesus and Mary Chain take on rock’n’roll and a wall of sound is certainly trendy at the moment, but somehow lacking in real musical depth. Thursday 3 July, Concorde 2
Pentangle
David Karsten Daniels American singer songwriter signed to Brighton’s Fat Cat label. Another of those melancholy, lo-fi types, but there’s plenty of wit and wisdom within his lyrics, and some pop-friendly songs as evidenced by his great album Fear of Flying. Friday 4 July, Freebutt

Cut Copy The last time these dancefloor destroying Aussies came to Brighton, a packed out Digital saw an amazing set of catchy, pounding indie electro no-one in the club could resist. This time round, they look set to conquer the Concorde. Wednesday 2 July, Concorde 2 Now + Revenge of Shinobi + Medicine and Duty The real stars on this bill are Brighton’s Revenge of Shinobi. Ignore the terrible, video game referencing name and savour the excellent, atmospheric art-rock. Wednesday 2 July, Prince Albert Katherine Jenkins + The Sussex Symphony Orchestra + Diana Galvydyte It’s rare Haywards Heath gets any kind of big gig, let alone a classical one of this magnitude. Every dad’s favourite star headlines. Saturday 5 July, Victoria Park, Haywards Heath Jaguar Love Former members of the now-defunct Blood Brothers and Pretty Girls Make Graves combine for something somehow both more accessible and more eccentric. Screamy brilliance with one of the most distinctive vocalists in rock. Saturday 5 July, Audio NA Red Sparowes Extremely satisfying post-rock supergroup featuring members of Isis and Neurosis and signed to Neurosis’ Neurot label. Monday 7 July, Engine Rooms NA

MUSIC REVIEWS A weekly review of local and national releases Detailing Ry Cooder’s life as a Californian native – the adventures, the music, the loves – I, Flathead is a stripped-back and raw to the bone musical odyssey. There is a 104 page novella to accompany the album, and guests include Jim Keltner, Flaco Jiminez and Jon Hassell. It’s a more stripped-down, blues and rock’n’roll album; back to Cooder’s musical roots In this age of unfettered hype and general over-excitement from media and PR types (everything is the best thing since sliced bread, so it seems), Sigur Ros are perhaps one of the few bands who bring genuine excitement and an air of anticipation whenever they have an album earmarked. Having first found an audience for their chilling soundscapes, they’re slowly but surely edging towards being a ‘pop’ band, with clearly defined melodies and song structures. This is a good thing in so far as they don’t dilute the essential oherworldliness of their music. However Meo suo í eyrum vio spilum endalaust (With a buzz in our ears we play endlessly) works brilliantly for its first half before meandering down those dull and overwrought avenues they can’t seem to avoid. An album of two halves... Upbeat and bursting with energy and a few hooks to keep you interested are Infadels whose Universe in Reverse album is an anthemic call-to-arms type protest album. Overwhelming and a little bombastic at times, this still adds up to a fresh blast of social consciousness indie that you can dance to. A friend and protégé of Bjork back in the late 90s, Leila returns with her first album in eight years, Blood, Looms and Blooms. Where a more electronic Tom Waits meets Portishead via The Go! Team, this is trippedout and ghostly psychedelia; evocative, often mesmerising. Brighton’s Metronomy is one of those acts who Metronomy gets more kudos than sales, where the critics and musos fall over themselves to praise and admire him, and yet he remains largely shunned by Joe Public. New single ‘Holiday’ perhaps explains this; a really interesting and stripped-back industrial funk number that fuses a post-punk sensibility with the vocal stylings of Klaxons. It’s great, but awkward. Going on the Arcade Fire-esque potency of latest record A Certain Feeling, it’s only right Los Angeles band Bodies of Water are signed to the ultra hip Secretly Canadian label. With the success of more famous bands and the swathe of rip-offs who emerged because of this, Bodies of Water stand out for blending arty grandiosity with seventies style rocking organ, veering between slow-burning epics to raw hip-shaking dancefloor numbers; creating a sound both enjoyably retro and thoroughly modern. Finally, it’s time for the first Biffy Clyro career retrospective, Singles 2001-2005, a collection of stupendously catchy grunge-pop. This collection is pretty damn close to perfect: from early fan favourites ‘57’ and ‘Joy.Discovery.Invention’ to later balls-out rockers ‘Glitter and Trauma’ and ‘There’s No Such Thing as a Jaggy Snake’, every fan of these cult Scots is given their due.

Soaking myself in perfume whilst brushing my teeth with my feet and applying my make-up with my psychokinetic powers, I realise I am old before my time. I once received Tena wear in the post, directly addressed to me. I thought nothing of it at the time despite it coinciding with epic hair loss, but now I get it. It was a sign of the times. Nowadays I assault the snooze button repeatedly and struggle to get up for work after an astounding five hours sleep, where once two hours was enough. I wake with no time to blink, I drag my hair through cow fields, soak it in serum, blast it with giant scent rays, but nothing will eradicate the stench of bonfire. I ask, was it worth it? In the great words of every college-graduating cheerleader: “Uh, duh!” Of course it was worth it. Within the first ten minutes at Bacardi B Live we got ourselves a groupie. He wasn’t clean, he didn’t smell nice but he was a giant can of fun worms. I became the filling in a three-way sweatdrizzled sandwich, and got myself a cheeky kiss as they brazenly showed me how to play over work! The three-venue night at Brighton Coalition, Arc and the Fortune of War felt like a compressed container of wet dog and pure drum’n’bass vibes – dolled out by London breakbeat act CTRL Z – had just been released. We rolled outside for a clean air hit when we stumbled across a blazing beach fire. The village fire, with burlesque ladies, cowboys and hippies, merely required some Indians, a cheesesoaked anthem and a quick rise and fade from the public eye to be complete. I sat and gazed at my housemate getting mammothly stoned. Not the recreational kind, a physical stoning; alas, he’d forgotten the atomic power of the beach’s most natural weapon when he clumsily got kicked out. Never mind, Coalition’s stonking system was more than audible outside with titillating bass shocking the beach. Worth every painful moment of my next day work-athon.

William Tells
NEWS
Will Harris reflects on contemporary Greek attitudes to homosexuality I’m only half watching the evening news when an angry Lesbian fills the screen, ranting and raving and generally venting spleen to camera with such ferocity I can’t help but turn the volume up. You might think it’s something of a busman’s holiday for me, the sight of an angry Lesbian. After all, my flatmate gets really aggressive if I fill in the Heat crossword before her, plus I’ve had a fair few scrapes in the Candy Bar over the years (if you insist on putting a pool table in a club, girls, of course I’m going to use the cues as a makeshift poledancing prop). There’s something different about this Lesbian though. Perhaps it’s the moustache… His name is Dimitris and he is proud to be a Lesbian. With, I hasten to add, that all-important capital ‘L’ that marks him as a bona fide resident of the Greek island of Lesbos, and not a lady-loving fan of Jodie Foster or kd lang. He’s also apparently one of a number of redblooded men on the island who’ve had enough of sharing their national identity with gay women, and have launched a legal campaign to wrest the term back.

Flying the flag The city council hoisted the rainbow flag to celebrate 30 years since it was first used. The International symbol of solidarity with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people was flown from Hove Town Hall and the council’s headquarters at King’s House, Grand Avenue, Hove last Wednesday, 25 June. The multicoloured flag was first used on 25 June 1978 at the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Freedom Day Parade. Dee Simson, Brighton and Hove cabinet member for community affairs, inclusion and internal relations, said: “Our International reputation for celebrating the diversity of our residents is at the very heart of why Brighton and Hove is such a great place to live. We are proud to be raising the rainbow flag.” Cllr Simson told Latest Gay the flag would be back again for the Pride festival which begins on 26 July. She said: “We are really strongly supporting Pride this year. We have managed to arrange for 50 extra disabled parking spaces in London Road car park, working with the Federation for Disabled People because last year there was an issue with how disabled people could reach the park.” The Federation of Disabled People will run a shuttle bus to transport people from the spaces to Preston Park. Anyone interested in a free parking space or accessible toilet pass should visit www.bhfederation.org.uk or contact the federation on 01273 208934.
A youth project has appealed for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and unsure volunteers aged 16 to 25 to help their peers get into voluntary work. Young People’s Voice, the young branch of local charity Allsorts, is setting up a group to oversee voluntary projects in Brighton and Hove. It will meet about once a month for one or two hours to develop volunteering opportunities, events and promotion. In return, members will receive free training in management and leadership skills. The initiative has been funded by ‘v’, the youth volunteering charity and will be overseen by Marianne Lemond, LGBT youth development worker for Allsorts. She said the steering group would get accreditation to recognise the impact volunteering has had on themselves and the community. She said: “They get one to one support from myself and if they have any concerns or problems they can turn to me. They also get a personal development plan for future work and education.” Allsorts will pay for travel expenses and refreshments. The group will help Young People’s Voice run homophobia, biphobia and transphobia training at schools, colleges and youth projects, put on events for LGBT young people, organise a float for Pride and develop a youth strategy for Brighton and Hove by working with Spectrum, the Brighton and Hove LGBT community forum. Young People’s Voice recently won a national award from the Academy of Sustainable Communities. To get involved or find out more call Marianne Lemond on 01273 721211, email info@allsortsyouth.org.uk or visit www.allsortsyouth.org.uk/youngpeoplesvoice.htm

“Lesbians owe their moniker to Sappho from Lesbos, the poetess from around 600BC who wrote love poems to women” “Homosexual women have stolen the name from us,” he proclaims. “My sister can’t say she is a ‘Lesbia’, because people start to laugh and she has to explain she is not a lesbian, but comes from the island of Lesbos.” Now, am I the only one wondering why Dimitris’ sister doesn’t just replace the phrase “I am a Lesbia” with: “I’m from the beautiful island of Lesbos. Try our locally produced feta”? I was born in Coventry but I don’t go around saying “I’m a Coventrian” (a coventrian without a capital ‘C’ is, of course, also used to refer to those who are sexually attracted to run-down precincts and common girls with fat bums). Lower-case lesbians, as you may know, owe their moniker to Sappho, the upper-case Lesbian and poetess from around 600BC who wrote love poems to women. It’s interesting that, even though women poets were rare back then, Sappho was applauded by the foremost philosophers of the time. Socrates once referred to her as his “tenth Muse”. Despite the tolerance of their forebears, however, I suspect that what Dimitris and his furious friends are really hacked off with are the thousands of gay girls making pilgrimages to ‘the birthplace of lesbianism’ each year. It’s easy to forget that Greece is still a conservative country; apparently, when gay tourists started visiting en masse 20 years ago, the islanders erected large signs saying: ‘Lesbians Go Home’. A sentiment that I can only imagine caused no end of confusion among natives and visitors alike! Once the plaintiff has finished shouting (it takes some time), the report cuts to a view of a courtroom where a Greek man is wearing a badge reading: ‘I am Paul and I am a Lesbian’. I’m going to borrow another Greek word now, Dimitris: Eureka! When your ridiculous case fails, there’s always a line in novelty T-shirts to fall back on.

What’s hot on the box
Brits Who Made the Modern World: Jets Friday on Five at 7.30pm More than a certain degree of nationalism has always made me uncomfortable. Being dead happy you live where you do could almost be put down to county council customer satisfaction, but it never seems to manifest itself like that. It always seems to have something to do with moving a ball – any shape you please – from one end of a green bit of land to another. It’s like we, as the British, have no confidence in being proud of a national intellect. Could it be that we’ve started to believe our own European-hype about simply being annoying yobs? Thank you Peter Snow then for this enlightening series. Taking major developments in history and bravely putting the British hand up from the back of the class to say: “Excuse me sir, we had something to do with that too”, it’s good to see that the nation has got the nous for some pretty revolutionary breakthroughs. This week’s episode focused on our part in the space race. Yes, the Americans and the Russians were at it but we had our very own Black Arrow program, which instead of blowing up over 50 per cent of the time they were tested (like the Americans’ equivalent equipment), actually, for the most part, went straight up into the air to the correct height and did what it was supposed to do. Who’d’ve thought it could happen? Peter Snow talks to the wonderfully named John Scott-Scott and his colleague Jim Scragg from the project, telling us more about the politics behind each struggle forward and how our lack of a budget of billions of dollars and mere shoestring backing almost wiped us from space entirely. The great thing about this programme is that it takes you back to sitting cross-legged in the teachers’ lounge. It’s very much got that teaching element about it, even down to Mr Snow’s much loved and maligned computer graphics. Once you realise that this is the attitude to take towards it, it’s much easier to concentrate, as, to be honest, the budgetary constraints for the series seem to have suffered proportionally as much as the space team did. Basic re-enactments of dashing to a window and looking concerned, pressing a button and looking slightly, but very Britishly, cross, all make an appearance, marking the filling of space as Mr Snow narrates what happened next. To conclude, like the British jet programme, this is a very good idea that is likely to benefit the British public – and as a sidebar, amuse them immensely and send them to reminiscences – but hasn’t got much cash backing it at all. But thank Peter Snow for the graphics. Only he could take an animation to the top of a rocket and make it an after-school learning expedition.
Films on TV
TUESDAY 1 Capricorn One ★★✩✩✩ (1978, BBC1, 11.35pm. Dir Peter Hyams) When America’s first manned mission to Mars starts looking sketchy the bods at NASA decide to fake the whole thing out in the desert. Crusading journo Elliot Gould discovers the truth – but ends up running the Government gauntlet in this very average paranoid thriller
Movies on the box this week
Kill Bill Vol 1, Friday 4, BBC1, 11.40pm
WEDNESDAY 2 Robocop 2 ★★★✩✩ (1990, Five, 10pm. Dir Irvin Kershner) This straightforward sc-fi sequel jettisons the satirical qualities of the original movie, but makes up for it with plenty of cool explosions. Peter Weller reprises his role as the Detroit cop who’s been transformed into a melancholy mix of ass-kicking man and machine
THURSDAY 3 Twelve Angry Men ★★★★✩ (1957, Sky Movies Classics, 12pm. Dir Sidney Lumet) One of the best movies of the fifties, this brilliant courtroom drama wrings maximum tension out of a day in the life of a New York jury. Almost all the jurors believe that the youngster being tried is guilty of murder – and it’s up to lone dissenter Henry Fonda to prove them wrong.
FRIDAY 4 This Year’s Love ★★★✩✩ (1998, Sky Movies Indie, 10pm. Dir David Kane) Slightly lost in the 90s rom com shuffle, this engaging multi-layered romance is actually really good. A collection of Camden Town plotlines involving love lost and won intertwine as played out by a strong cast including Kathy Burke, Ian Hart and Dougray Scott.
Kill Bill Vol 1 ★★★★✩ (2003, BBC1, 11.40pm. Dir Quentin Tarantino) Quentin Tarantino’s ultra violent return to form mashes up 70s cop themes, obscure karate flicks and cutting edge anime to tell the bloodthirsty story of Uma Thurman’s revenge against her old lover. So good that it rather ran out of steam before the second ‘volume’ came along later.
44 latest 7
1-7 July
SATURDAY 5 Goldmember ★★★✩✩ (2002, Channel4, 10pm. Dir Jay Roach) Further entertaining 60s-spoofing shenanigans as Mike Myer’s super spy attempts to save the world from the villain of the title (a Dutch guy who likes to eat his own flaky skin). Highlights this time around include Beyonce Knowles in full-on blaxploitation mode.
Shooting Fish ★✩✩✩✩ (1997, Sky Movies Indie, 10pm. Dir Stefan Schwartz) Two career con artists (played by Stuart Townsend and Dan Futterman) are forced to hook up with Kate Beckinsale in order to escape prison in this dull brit flick. The 60s references abound, but the script isn’t clever enough to conjure up a classic caper comedy.
SUNDAY 6 Roxanne ★★★★✩ (1987, BBC1, 11pm. Dir Fred Schepisi) Back when Steve Martin used to be funny he made this excellent modern retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac. He’s wonderful in the central role, playing a nice guy who fears he’ll never get the woman of his dreams because his nose is just too big. Or, as he says “Sneeze and it’s goodbye Seattle”
MONDAY 7 One More Kiss ★★★✩✩ (1999, BBC1, 11.25pm. Dir Vadim Jean) A strangely affecting movie about a really horrible subject: terminal cancer. Valerie Edmond plays a 24-year-old facing an early grave and recruiting her ex-boyfriend for one last life-enhancing fling. Only one problem – he’s now married.

tuesday 1 july Criminal Justice BBC1, 9pm Ever since the boardgame Scruples starting upsetting Christmases back in the late 80s moral dilemmas have done good in the ratings. Here’s a corker. The first episode of a five-part thriller about a man who, after a drug and drink fuelled night, is charged with a murder he can’t remember. What a to do!
The Truth about Street Weapons Channel 4, 11.05pm London is officially more dangerous than New York. No, that’s not a reason to call them wusses, it’s a growing concern. The Streets Weapons Commission, chaired by Cherie Booth, travels the country hearing from those affected by gun and knife crime. Haunting.
Britain’s Missing Top Model BBC3, 11.45pm Beauty. Beholder. Eye. You get the picture. Here eight stunning and disabled girls battle it out in the world of modelling in the hope of winning a fashion shoot in Marie Claire photographed by top clicker Rankin. How far will the modelling world embrace the gals? And will they be as bitchy as able bodied reality ladies?

wednesday 2 Tribal Wives BBC2, 9pm Here’s an idea if you’ve got a problem with the old booze and want to kick the habit: join a TV show and go and live with a nomadic and fiercely independent tribe of camel herders. Lana’s an air hostess so she’s used to lots of travel, right? Plus, she’s keeping her past to herself. It’ll be a doddle.
Personal Services Required Channel 4, 9pm A ‘try before you buy’ of a job interview, with cameras following you. No, it’s not another series of The Apprentice, Suzi and Peter each need personal assistants for their domestic lives and are trying out Melanie, Annie Marie and Mikey for size. Is domestic help a thing of the past? It would seem not. Fascinating.
Lions: A Spy in the Den BBC4, 8pm Eat your heart out The Lion King. This here really is the story of a cub’s journey to adulthood. Taken from more than 3000 hours of footage filmed by a camera that looks like a rock – ingenious! – it shows their futile attempts to climb trees, encounters with a hippo and other animal conflicts. Narrated by David Attenborough.
