t’s not easy being a mum. If you’ve got a good one, it’s nearly that time when you should spoil her to say thanks for all the times she’s cooked you dinner, listened to your problems and washed your dirty socks... For ideas about how to make your mum feel special, see our Mother’s Day feature (p20). If you want to go out but you’re feeling the pinch, we have great ways to save on your social life in this issue. Turn to the stage page (p27) to find out how to get free theatre tickets if you‘re under 26. You can also win a night out watching Lemar at the Brighton Centre – see Zara Baker‘s interview with the former reality show star to find out how to enter (p11). We are giving away another pair of cinema tickets in the film section (p28), this time with a free drink. The Duke of York’s cinema is going to be screening children’s TV show In the Night Garden later this month – find out how to win tickets in our weekly kids‘ section (p31). Finally, we have two hampers of brewed non-alcoholic fruit juice, each worth £75, to give away (p6). With all those great savings, it means you can spend on the shows that are really unmissable, such as the Richard Alston Dance Company at Brighton Dome. Read about the new performance, which celebrates Alston’s 40 years of choreography, on page 13. Brighton Festival has a great programme of music planned for May: see music editor Jeff Hemmings’ highlights (p32). Actor Matt King, aka Super Hans in Peep Show, appears in Bronson, the film about Britain’s most violent prisoner. The movie is showing exclusively in Brighton at the Duke of York’s and Matt and director Nicolas Winding Refn will be there for a Q&A following the first screening on Friday (p29). The big sports news last week was the appointment of a new Albion manager. See Latest Sport (p16) to find out what our resident footie expert Peter Knight makes of the Seagulls’ recent performance. In Latest Gay (p36), hear how to have chance of winning a holiday in a luxury chalet in the French Alps and read about why Dining Dykes founder Jane Hamilton set up what has become one of Brighton’s busiest gay social groups.

SEANN’S WORLD | XWORD 05

Seann

Seann Walsh A flatulence competition leads Seann to embrace his inner Sartre

Bottoms up f there’s one thing you should never do, it is to assess yourself. You will always choose the wrong moment. The last time I assessed myself, my friend and I, while watching Match of the Day, had just had a curry, followed by a farting competition (or, as we put it, ‘Fart War’). It was one of those evenings of total resignation from stress and shame, an embrace of the worst slobbishness. There are two types of relaxation: the healthy, and the unhealthy. Healthy relaxation involves things like bubble baths and herbal tea. It’s detox. Unhealthy relaxation involves things like curry, alcohol and farting. It’s more of a retox, and counts as relaxation only by virtue of occurring indoors. What was about to happen was not healthy. My friend declared war and fired first after the eating of the madras, which served as a sort of prewar, rectal arms race. I enjoyed every moment of it. We gleefully declared it the most fun we’d had in months, until we ran out of firepower, and I had lost 2215. I didn’t take the defeat with

I

any grace, promising him a rematch while he gloated. Eventually, I calmed down. I took a deep breath through my nose. So did he. That was when we became nasally aware of how attritional the Fart War had been. Now breathing sparingly through my mouth, I drifted away from the Fulham-West Brom highlights into a disturbing little world of my own: I began to assess myself. There’s something about the aftermath of a farting competition that makes one question one’s existential value. It is in the same experiential category as something like a boozy, unromantic sexual encounter on a

“Something in the aftermath of a farting match makes one question one’s existential value”

wall late at night. It’s graceless and seedy. No amount of bubble baths can wash off the shame; no amount of herbal tea can wash away the taste. Time is the medicine. Only time can shade the details and cure the cringes; enough time, that is, to pretty much forget it happened. When Fulham went one-nil up, I hadn’t had nearly enough time to forget. Ignoring the replays of the goal, and wallowing in the invisible arse-fog, I wondered if this was genuinely the best thing I had done all month. It was. “Is this the best I can do?” “What have I achieved?” These questions floated around my

consciousness, finding answers in the darker regions of blinkered negativity. Eventually, I arrived at the worst question of all: “What am I?” West Brom equalised. I barely noticed. I answered my question: “I’m a man who becomes competitive over flatulence. And I’m clearly not even good at it: I lost. I lost.” And this is the problem: self-assessment seems necessary only during moments of desperation and despair. When everything’s all right, we don’t question ourselves. Have you ever, during sex, asked yourself, “Where am I going in life?” If you have, it can’t have been particularly good, and it might have occurred late at night on a wall. So, if self-assessment can only happen at negative times, then it can only yield negative results. And you will not conclude, after a fart contest, that you’re a genius. The Match of the Day closing theme kicked in like a shot to the arm, curtailing the existential daydream. I asked my friend the score. He didn’t know either. At this point we agreed that selfassessment is bad. And so are fart competitions.

DEFINITELY DANI 07

Dani arriages have hit an all time low. There are less weddings happening than has ever been recorded. This slump in the wedding market has been blamed on the credit crunch. I have my doubts as to whether the statistics would be any different if we were not living in a recession. The generation that is at the age and in the situations to be getting married (for the first time) are those children whose parents divorced when 25 years ago the statistics for that went upwards and show no sign of really ever stopping. I view marriage as nothing more than a path to divorce and perhaps that is the case with many of the other people out there. But perhaps it is the case that the Government has made it more economical to stay single. Or maybe it is because it is just a step too far for a country of commitment-phobes? One trend I have noticed is that relationships are now being lived backwards. You

Dani thinks the concept of marriage needs more thought Comments? Get in touch: dani@thelatest.co.uk

“I want to have a wedding and a husband but I do not wish to be married” move in together, you build a life, you have a couple of kids and then you get married. It seems as if we try and put our relationship through a series of tests before we make any real and paper commitment. I know that when I was younger there was no doubt in my mind that I would one day be married. But as I grew older I became more and more cynical and now I am part of a family in which every woman, bar one, is divorced, which doesn’t give you much trust in the institution, (however it isn’t the institution that failed – usually the men involved).

Kiss off Warrington Bank Quay railway station has banned kissing in a bid to stop the delay of dropping passengers off. There are now ‘No Kissing’ signs at the station and kissers are urged to move to a ‘kissing zone’ to say farewell. I can quite honestly say that I have never heard anything funnier. I do feel it is just a hoax. How ridiculous can we get? Is romance so dead that we are now allowed to kick the final dregs of life out of it? Is Warrington the secret romance capital of the world? Who was the person to come up with the idea of a no kissing zone? Had I been at that meeting I wouldn’t have been able to control myself for laughing hysterically!

Years ago you would get married before you even lived together, but now marriage has become an afterthought – once you have spent years together you marry because one of you might die and legally it would be best if you were married and widowed (which is horrible and I hate saying it, but there are instances where couples have been together for a very long time and only marry because they are reaching a riper age). Is it more painful to have a marriage breakdown than just separate from your long-time partner? A marriage is, after all, a relationship with a ring on a finger. The thing for me is that a marriage is meant to be forever. If you have a boyfriend or girlfriend then no promise has been made and therefore no promise can be broken. I am not big into God, so the idea of a wedding to me, is to almost announce to all your loved ones that you have met the person you want to grow old with, have children with and love forever. So if the marriage broke down I imagine a slight amount of embarrassment would be felt as the promise that was made in front of your nearest and dearest had disappeared. I still think I will marry one day. But I fear it will be because it will one day be the next logical step,

not because I meet someone who wants to marry me. Romantic movies may still show an idealistic view of marriage but the real world doesn’t. I want to have a wedding and a husband but I do not wish to be married. I am not surprised the statistics are showing a drop in weddings, I will be one of the statistics. I don’t want to get married because I don’t want to be divorced.

08 CITY SPEAK

Alison here has all my time gone? Days used to be parked out in front of me like great expeditions that Scott of the Antarctic would have found challenging. About 3pm on a Sunday was always the worst time. That was when time seemed to sprawl out in front of me like an obese man’s belly, an unending sea of nothingness, a space with no energy and just me watching a clock waiting for my life to start. Which of course it did. Somewhere between the fifty-seven thousandth repeat of Dad’s Army and me getting a life, I lost all those spaces of time. I was recently reminded of my younger self at the weekend when I went to London for a friend’s birthday. The friend and I had seen each other on a regular basis over the years, but there were a lot of people appearing who I knew I had spent loads of time with in my previous incarnation as a club kid in London – over ten years ago. But I had had little reason to think of them since. First came the visual shock. Was that sweaty overweight middle-aged Jamaican guy, the once lithe beautiful Micheal who I’d

ut I’m tired! goes my plaintive cry. Look, I can barely keep my eyes open! The context in which I make this complaint could be, I’m afraid to say, anything from a refusal to go to the pub with friends after work, to a reluctance to make my other half a cup of tea in the morning (and take it from me, you need real talent to successfully play the ‘But I’m tired’ card immediately after eight hours of sleep). The point is, for a healthy 26-year-old man, I seem to spend half of my life feeling half-asleep. I don’t think I’m alone in my self-ascribed fatigue. After all, we’re all spinning gears in the relentless 21st century machine now, aren’t we; our dials turning from Work to Play to Work again faster than the hands of the clock, often bypassing the Rest position altogether? On top of everything, this year I have my Mission: 30 challenges to complete during 2009, of which so far I’ve managed the grand total of four (three and a half, if you count my crushing failure at vegetarianism). When you’re careering down the information superhighway at the same breakneck speed as all your fellow commuters and there aren’t any rest-stops, is it any wonder that more and more of us are falling asleep at the wheel?

danced with all night on the podium at the Fridge in the summer of 1998? Who is this woman babbling at me about “that time at SW9 in Brixton when we met that guy who wanted to marry you – after he’d had a sex change!“ What guy? I’m not too sure who this woman is, so identifying some random from a bar, I admittedly do remember going to – a lot – isn’t helping. Still it was fun, and once we had got past the reminiscing, and onto the reality of our lives now, things got more interesting. Hearing people describe my life then, confirmed how I once had time. Probably because I only did two things then. I worked (not much) and I played (a lot). Now, I work (much harder) and play (less, I don’t have the energy), I write, read, take photos, I even garden. But most importantly I do all the things that I left other people to sort out in the past. You know the bits that then I wouldn’t even have noticed needed doing, I clean, I wash stuff, I cook real food, I vacuum, I do DIY, I do a budget (and generally ignore it, but I’m getting there). So really, all that time when I was wondering what to do, there was something, I just hadn’t realised it. I have now.

“Complaining about being tired isn’t going to get me any less tired. Hell, it isn’t going to get me anywhere”

I suppose you’d think it strange if I told you it took a 70-year-old in a mini-dress to pull me out of my own self-induced funk. But that’s precisely what happened, when Tina Turner – the legend, the queen, those legs! – sprinted onto the stage of the O2 and launched a high-octane performance that would have put an Olympic athlete to shame. I watched open-mouthed as this living legend, at her three-score years and ten, belted out hit after hit while showing off moves that I, with my measly pair of baker’s dozens, would find difficult to pull off. No doubt she was tired too (at one point I thought I spied a defibrillator lurking stage left, although it turned out to be a saxophonist), but with the attention of tens of thousands of people on her, no way was this lady about to show it. It struck me then that complaining about being tired isn’t going to get me any less tired. Hell, it isn’t going to get me anywhere! From now on, I’m going to take a leaf out of Tina’s book, which is that sometimes, when the traffic’s screaming past you and there isn’t a rest-stop in sight, all you can do is wind down the window, crank up the volume, and enjoy the ride.

TV crews descend on Sussex for filming, Richard Durrant plays outdoors and local DJs move on

Camera action Behind the scenes It has been a good week for celebs filming in Sussex. Firstly Ant and Dec filmed part of their show Saturday Night Takeaway in the Amsterdam Pub in Shoreham. Staff at the pub were told to keep the filming secret as it was part of a big surprise but it didn’t stop regular punters telling all their mates! Location Location Location presenter Kirsty Allsop was also filming last week, but this time in Hove. The popular Channel 4 show favours our coastal towns as they always seem to be filming down here! Disaster struck however when Kirsty discovered that she had lost a precious diamond and white gold ring during the shoot. The ring had been a gift given to her by long term partner Ben Anderson. Also spotted filming for their brand new series were the hairy bikers – the bearded duo were on Brighton beach cooking away on calor gas – no change there, then.

A wet outlook King of the strings, Richard Durrant has booked a rather unusual venue for his next concert. More used to playing the Dome or Royal Festival Hall, Richard has swapped the usual acoustics for those of the more feathered kind, as he plays an outdoor gig at the Arundel Wetlands Centre on Friday 12 June. Tickets for the show are priced at £22.50 and are available by calling 01903 881530 – you’d be quackers to miss it!

Danny Pike

Across the airwaves Local DJs were making the news last week – firstly the announcement that long-term Southern FM breakfast show host, Danny Pike was to quit after 15 years at the Portslade based station. Danny has accepted the new job filling the mid-morning slot at BBC Southern Counties Radio – taking over from ex-Tiswas presenter Gordon Astley. Another departure last week was the Juice 107.2FM’s midmorning jock Moody, who has moved to Spain. Taking over from him is Juice stalwart Jonesy (what is it with DJ names?), Jonesy already hosts the Saturday Daytime show and will now add every week day to his rosta. The new Jonesy midday show is on air now and runs every day until 3pm.

ARIES (MAR 21–APR 20)

CANCER (JUNE 22–JULY 22)

LIBRA (SEP 23–OCT 22)

Your lack of interest in all things domestic will inevitably lead to a poor diet of food taken on the hoof. For anyone over the age of 16, eating in the street is common and vulgar.

Cancer is dominated by the moon and the waxing waning effect can be reflected in yoyo weight patterns. Up, down, up, down…. no wonder you have problems finding clothes that fit.

Libra’s passion for details means that when dining, the table comes first, flowers, napkins, crystal and cutlery – so much so that you forget to put anything in the oven.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21–JAN 19). Capricorns like to be thin but thin does not mean anorexic. Thin is fine if you like it but personally Angi likes a bit of flesh to hang onto, especially on cold nights. Rub-a-dub-chub!

TAURUS (APR 21–MAY 21)

LEO (JULY 23–AUG 22)

SCORPIO (OCT 23–NOV 21)

AQUARIUS (JAN 20–FEB 19)

Taureans can be stocky and their great love of eating is no help. Face the facts and come to terms with being fat. Fat is only a problem if you let it rule your life. Say no to diets.

Leo is the hostess with the mostest – yes you are a feeder and people should take care that you are not feeding them up for some kind of carnivorous feast.

Scorpio needs to beware that food is becoming a buffer for facing up to emotional conflict. Ditch the Mars Bar and have that squabble, there are fewer calories in a good fight.

Aquarians love gadgets in the kitchen, anything from a stick blender to a juicer. I think that juice is best extracted by hand every time and leave the battery powered toys alone.

Geminis are nibblers, dipping and dunking into every culinary pot at the expense of their health far too often. Get a grip and get some balance in your diet before it unbalances you.

Faddy, faddy, faddy, Virgo is the first to leap on the latest food trend, whether it be diet or allergy. Show me a Virgo who has not toyed with being vegetarian and I will eat my crystal ball.

Sagittarians have an unnerving tendency towards highly spiced food. Is this wise or are you putting your digestive tract under undue pressure? Give your bowel a rest, eat mash.

Pisceans can take or leave food, they’re just not interested. Well you need help my little fishy friends. Get down to Bardsley’s now for an intensive course of fried foods.

INTERVIEW 11

Soul man Lemar talks to Zara Baker ahead of his new tour ou’ve come a long way since Fame Academy back in 2002. Has the time been a complete whirlwind for you? Yeah, you know, you never know how long things will last or how well – or not well – things are gonna go, so you know, I’m really glad things have been going well and I’m looking forward to hopefully a few more albums and a few more tours. It’s great.

Y

You’ve had some big changes in your life over the past year (turning 30 and having a baby daughter) Have these influenced any changes in your music? Yeah, I think this album is a bit more conscious. I’ve done a lot more thinking about life and for the reasons of life, the reasons why she is in my life and other people are in my life right now. I’ve put that all together and that’s what this album is – it’s about life, it’s about love. It’s about losing somebody, and gaining people. Who are your musical influences? I like a lot of old school music, particularly Marvin Gaye, Sam Cook and Al Green. Whose music are you into at the moment? I’m listening to someone called Jazmine Sullivan at the moment – she’s got a really good voice. I thought her album, especially the track ‘Lions, Tigers and Bears,’ was really amazing. She’s doing well, she was nominated in the Grammys. Why do you appeal to a broad age range? I think, inevitably, your music should reflect your personality. I’m a happy-go-lucky kind of guy and as a result, I think my music is that as well, so people of all ages are drawn to it. I’m not sure if it’s a conscious thing, I just try to do the music I want and I guess whoever is gonna gravitate towards me does as a result of it. What age of fan is more likely to approach you in the street? It’s a fairly wide range, you know, I see a lot of older people coming over because they like ‘Justice’ or any [tracks] like that, the old school sound and

then a lot of younger people come over to me because of the more current sounds. It’s a big cross section. You do a lot of charitable work – including The Prince’s Trust – are you involved with any projects at the moment? Definitely, they contact me whenever they need me to do something and help raise awareness. Whenever I have the opportunity I talk about them. The Prince’s Trust is a really good charity as is the The Breast Cancer Campaign. My mother passed away from breast cancer so I try and raise awareness for the cancer campaign and sufferers and try and do anything I can to make the problem a bit better. I make myself available for that sort of thing.

“The Prince’s Trust is a really good charity“

Does your family life cut into work a lot now? Yeah, I’ve got a little one now, so I try and get home as much as I can nowadays. I try and be there. Do you follow any of the X Factor/Pop Idol shows that are on now? Yeah, I’ve seen a couple of them, they’re so big now, you can’t really escape them. It’s a good way into the industry for those with the talent. Would you ever go on Celebrity Big Brother? I don’t think it’s something I would do. You’re gearing up for your new tour. What can we expect from this one? You can expect excitement! I can’t wait. It’s been a long while. I haven’t been on the road for a bit – I can’t wait to get back on it. I’m just so in the planning process, figuring out exactly what I wanna do and what exactly is gonna work. I just can’t wait, I’m going to pick some old songs and some new ones. It’s gonna be really good. What are your plans for after this tour? Hopefully more of the same. I’d like to take the tour into Europe a little bit, if possible, so I’m working towards that. Also, to see what other opportunities are out there, I’m just working towards that, whether it be in America, or any of the festivals over here. I just try to keep the ball moving. Are you looking forward to coming back to Brighton? Yeah, I am. I’ve done three tours and touched down on Brighton on each one. I can’t wait to get back down there.

COVER STORY 13

Blown away The Richard Alston Dance Company are about to explode into town with a new show at Brighton Dome he joyous surge of Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos, the Russian folk tunes of Stravinsky’s Petrushka, and the rich, seamless layerings of Philip Glass – you could not ask for greater contrast than this spring mixture from the Richard Alston Dance Company. This year, the company are celebrating Richard Alston’s 40th anniversary as a choreographer, with a glorious repertoire featuring two of his most explosive and acclaimed works alongside a new piece by excompany dancer and emergent choreographer Martin Lawrance. No other dance company places such an unalloyed emphasis on the importance of music and the magic it can conjure together with dance. Alston’s Blow Over races along to the exhilarating pulse of Songs From Liquid Days by Philip Glass. But this isn’t Glass in a cool, serene mood. This is urgently driven music brought to life with great leaping arcs of choreographic energy. Movements From Petrushka is set to the Russian folk tunes of Stravinsky’s own piano arrangements, played here live on stage by Jason Ridgway. In To Dance and Skylark Martin Lawrance’s highspirited athletic steps pick up on the elation of Bach’s joyous Brandenburg Concertos. Don’t miss this “outstanding, highly musical creative force!“ Evening Standard, when they visit Brighton Dome. Blow Over, Movements From Petrushka, To Dance and Skylark, Tuesday 31 March and Wednesday 1 April, 8pm, Concert Hall. Tickets £6, £10, £12.50, £15. Pre-show talk Tuesday 31 March, 7pm, Corn Exchange. Free to ticket holders but must be reserved at time of booking. Ticket Office: 01273 709709, book online: www.brightondome.org

Bike removed Bicycle campaigners are angry that a ‘ghost bike‘ marking the spot where a young cyclist died has been removed. The white bike at the junction of Devil‘s Dyke Road and Saddlescombe Road was a memorial for James DansonHatcher. The 23-year-old, who worked in the Barley Mow pub, Kemp Town and wanted to be a photographer, was killed instantly when he was hit by a car travelling at 60mph on Thursday 5 April 2007 at about 5.30pm. The memorial was installed by cycle campaigning group Bricycles but was recently taken down by Brighton and Hove

Equal say Brighton and Hove city council leader Mary Mears on the recent media frenzy want to confess something: we don’t always get it right at the council. It’s not often you’ll hear big organisations – and Brighton and Hove City Council is the biggest employer in the city with over 8,000 staff – say they get it wrong sometimes. To be fair, we normally start things for the right reasons but somewhere along the way it gets a little messed up or the public don’t get to hear the full story so it appears as though we’re trying to cover things up. Take for example the recent furore surrounding a Christian care home in which it was alleged that the council

“We failed to explain it and so the media had a field day” withdrew its funding because their management refused to participate in an equalities survey. This was not the case, but we failed to explain it properly and so the media had a field day suggesting that this was yet another example of ‘PC gone mad’. We’re proud of the fact that we promote equalities and we’ll

City Council without consulting the group. A council spokeswoman said: “The bicycle was removed on safety grounds at the request of the police, who were concerned that it posed a distraction to drivers and other road users. “Police had witnessed nearmisses as cars stopped on this busy stretch of country road and people got out to look at tributes left at the scene.“ Adam Pride, secretary of Bricycles, said: “I am disappointed they removed it because there are lots of other memorials they have left. It is a good thing motorists notice it and think about why it is there.“

continue to do so, but we dropped the ball when it came to explaining what we were actually asking them to do – and it was not about getting 80-year olds to tell us if they’re gay. We were simply asking the care home to agree to at least ask their residents if they would like to participate in the survey and if they said no then that would be the end of it. But we kept this to ourselves – internally we didn’t communicate the issue with each other very well either – and it created a silly story that didn’t have all the facts.

Volunteers needed Schools, businesses, artists and volunteers are needed to take part in this year‘s Brighton Carnival. The parade will take place through the city centre and down to Madeira Drive on Sunday 12 July. In 2008, there were more than 600 people on the procession and 15,000 people came to watch. Bands were entered by the Young Carers, Brighton Housing Trust, Hollinbury Youth Club, Studioscape, Brighton School of Samba, Littlehampton Community College Steelpan Band and BBC Southern Counties. The carnival team help organisations learn the skills to create a colourful entry. Call 01273 681234 or email info@brightoncarnival.co.uk

I’m glad though that we’ve managed to resolve the issue and that Pilgrim Homes have agreed to carry out equalities surveys. It’s important, especially in a city like Brighton and Hove, that we acknowledge and celebrate diversity. And there’s no better way to celebrate the city’s diversity than with the Winter Pride festival, which kicks off this week. I’ll be going along to show my support and I hope you’ll be there too to give a nod (and a wink) to diversity.

Recession lifeline

Phil Mills reveals the new approach to the travelling community and business help

Moving on s a new season of travellers and gypsies moving in and out of Sussex is about to begin, police and local authorities are being asked to build better relationships with what is described as “the biggest ethnic minority in Sussex”. There have been ugly incidents in the past and one in 2003 resulted in the arrest of some members of a bonfire society for torching an effigy of a caravan. No charges were brought but the incident highlighted how sensitive the issue is. To raise awareness and improve race relations, members of the gypsy-travellers’ community recently joined 100 police and local authority representatives at what was the first ever seminar on the issue. Held at the Sussex Police training HQ at Slaugham Manor near Handcross, the seminar was opened by superintendent Tony Blaker, the force’s gypsy traveller equality officer. He said: “Gypsy travellers are the largest ethnic-minority group in Sussex but their community lacks confidence in our policing and often feels discriminated against.” The meeting, he said, would lay foundations for better relations and he insisted this was not tokenism: “It is our moral duty to ensure every member of the community is treated the same. “There is a long, often fraught history of tensions between travellers and the authorities, unsurprising given that in the 1500s you would be sentenced to death for being a gypsy. “The gypsy-travellers’ life has become increasingly more difficult, with the enclosure of common land and changes in legislation which saw police having to move on people from unauthorised camps. This saw increasing conflict between travellers and the police. “Their nomadic lifestyle is recognised in our cultural heritage. It is part of British life. There is a minority who may be involved in criminal behaviour but the assumption that the whole of the community is involved in crime must be stamped out. “We will target individuals who are involved in crime or antisocial behaviour, not whole communities.” Sussex Police are appointing and training police liaison officers to work with gypsy-traveller groups.

Many struggling businesses in Brighton and Hove are crying out for advice on how to survive the recession, something the city council is now offering. Cutting business taxes would have offered direct help, critics argue, but the council instead is providing support for small and medium-sized businesses in the form of seminars and clinics. The council calls it a recession relief package, a Business Lifebelt to “provide practical solutions” to save firms from drowning. Developed in partnership with Brighton and Hove Chamber of Commerce and Business Link Sussex, the scheme comprises a string of free events and clinics: • City Business Clinics – available monthly to business owners and offering personalised one-to-one session with a specialist business advisor. • Sector Workshops – March to July workshops for retail, hospitality, business services, creative industries, and construction and building sectors. Delivered by industry experts and to help owner-managers stay motivated and to keep making a profit. • Meet the Professionals – drop-in event in April to give on-thespot advice from industry professionals on the current issues and challenges facing businesses. Business owners can drop in throughout the afternoon or evening for the opportunity to ask questions on subjects including finance and cashflow, selling and where to get help. • Business Lifebelt at The Brighton and Hove Business Show 2009, May 13 – all local business support organisations will offer free information and seminars. Councillor Ted Kemble, Cabinet Member for Enterprise, is urging businesses to take up the offers: “We're gathering some very experienced people to pass on their knowledge.“ Advice is no substitute for customers but, as the ad' says, every little helps.

LATEST LETTERS

Brighton Academy of Performing Arts would like to say a big thank you to Latest 7 for their support in the run up to our Grand Launch on Saturday 21 February! The day at St Aubyns School, Rottingdean was a huge success, as people from all over Brighton and the surrounding areas came along to celebrate the opening of the academy and take part in the free classes, workshops and activities we had on offer. There was also lots of cake! We had the privilege of the company of some special guests; Francesca Simon (author of Horrid Henry), Les Lawton (theatre director), Julie Peasgood (TV presenter) and Brian Capron (Coronation Street) who all gave up their time to chat with parents and children who are keen to sign up to our performing arts school. Performers from West End shows Les Miserable, Cats, Mamma Mia, Blood Brothers and more were on hand to put visitors through their paces in stage combat, drama, make-up and dance. And one lucky group of mums and dads (with kids!) even sang live on the radio, as Juice FM covered the event! As featured in Latest 7, we gave away free terms at the academy to five lucky winners. Juice FM announced the winners on the Breakfast Show on Thursday. They were: Aimee Bishop (Saltdean), Liam Maddin (Burgess Hill), Emily Jo Gage (Saltdean), Summer Heselden (Portslade), Helen Clifford (Withdean). Congratulations to them all!

Spring clean Latest Sport’s Peter Knight ponders the Seagulls’ fate and Slade’s arrival ike some mad drunken night out with the lads – upbeat, positive, winning games all of a sudden and still up for the cup – an unexpected frenzy of a whirlwind picks everything up and turns it all upside down. And what a hangover. The morning after that Brighton vs Luton game was like waking up in the dizzying land of Oz. Micky Adams felt the full force of our house land upon him for failing to live up to the high expectations by failing to manage and organise the obvious quality there is in this team. Some say he was booted too early. They could be right. Where was the ready replacement to fill in as soon as possible? Inexperienced coaches took over to manage a side looking for experience, stability, for some leadership from somewhere to steady the boat. The last thing the club needed right now was for the panic to set in. A hangover is best dealt with by grabbing it by the scruff of the neck and confidently riding it out.

Sorry it’s taken so long to get back to you – it’s been a crazy few weeks and I’m just starting to get back on top of all those things I should be doing.

Nicky Forster, as first among a genuine fighting, hardworking team, is showing some real potential as a future manager one day and doing well to keep the team together. But his injury, along with all the others, adds to the current misery. As Dean Cox said, the Crewe game was a “freak” yet a great part of that nightmare was aided by the mire the club now finds itself in. But this is Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club. We’re Seagulls fans. We’ve been through much worse than this. Credit is due to whoever sorted out the much needed loan signings of skillful Al Bangura, the powerful forward Lloyd Owusu and solid defender Matt Heath. Hopefully, this Saturday they will have proved their quality against rivals Leyton Orient. And there’s still 13 more games left to beat the drop starting with tonight’s clash with Southend at the Withdean. This ain’t over till it’s over. As news filters in of Russell Slade’s appointment as the new manager we must appreciate the spirit and the history of this football club and the way we can deal with this situation. This is the chance to build on the strong sense of teamwork that’s needed to pull through this and a ripe time for a spring clean and a new start.

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD & DRINK 17

Food & drink Andrew Kay moonwalks to Moonrakers to find out what’s cooking in Alfriston

Over the moon A

h! The pretty villages of rural Sussex, timber, thatch, flint, pantiles, morris dancing and incest. Oh okay, the incest thing is legend and probably not true any more, probably. Sussex does have some pretty stunning villages though and few are prettier than Alfriston. The only thing that really lets it down is indeed caused by its appeal. You look that good and you are bound to attract visitors and visitors come in cars. Hence in the summer months the village can be one long jam. Go to Alfriston now though and it has a lovely sleepy atmosphere, very few tourists and only the occasional backpack. You may even find somewhere to park – legally.

“The plate was a jewel box of deliciousness – a 10 out of 10 pudding” For many years Alfriston has proudly boasted a restaurant called Moonrakers. I went way back in pre-history and it was very good, but a few years back it went into decline and a new owner simply did not seem interested. So much so that he turned down my booking once because he couldn’t be bothered to light the fire for one table. You can imagine my re-action. Happily last year it was sold and given a thoroughly good seeing too. Now it looks prettier than ever, has remarkably friendly staff and a menu that is a delight. Having a business appointment in the village on a sunny Friday morning I fabricated an excuse to stay on and give the lunch menu a whirl. Joined by Mrs E, we sat down in a room that looked unchanged in years. Snowdrops decorated our table, great bread arrived with excellent butter and a menu of lunch dishes that hit exactly the right spot in terms of delight and price. At lunch it’s £12 for two courses and £15 for three, which is pretty impressive to start with – but when you see the food it is startlingly so. Mrs E chose the Sussex smoked salmon with horseradish cream. I assume this was Spring’s salmon and it doesn’t come much better, and there was plenty of it, simply folded onto the plate like a miniature tsunami of fish with crest of fiery cream lightened by dill. I had a meaty head on so chicken livers it was for me. A pile of them gently crisped on the outside but soft and creamy at the centre still, rather like good chocolate truffles – but savoury. The sauce was a rich gravy-like affair and very moreish. Mrs E then had salad of belly pork cooked in an oriental style. It was intimidatingly dark, but that turned out to be a cunning disguise as the soft slow-cooked meat simply fell apart at the wave of her fork. I stole a taste and it was exceedingly precise in its spicing, and the salad looked good and crunchy too.

For me it was venison, thick tender slices, cooked to exactly the right point, just over the edge from raw and as a consequence packed with flavour and succulent. It came on a beetroot fondant with a beetroot sauce and some creamed celeriac. Stylish, yes, but at the cost of flavour or heat? I can’t bear messed with food that arrives cold but here it was all piping hot as well as pretty. Mrs E declared herself too full for dessert – and then went on to order cheese, a more than generous helping of local delights, which I was quite happy to lend a hand with. But only after my rather remarkable pudding of chocolate marquise served with caramel oranges and crushed brazil nuts. Now, if you like me have ever suffered the disappointment of watery caramel oranges in an Italian restaurant then think again. This plate was a jewel box of deliciousness, soft velvety chocolate, crisp bitter caramel on sweet orange slices, crunchy nuts and a sprinkling of fresh herb – a 10 out of 10 pudding, really good! Coffee, again piping hot, rounded off a memorable lunch that was satisfyingly rich but not to the point of discomfort. And with a glass of wine each the bill was around £20 a head. Now if a restaurant of this quality can turn out a meal this stylish for this price why did I get charged £48 for one shared starter, two main courses and three drinks, one a pint of Harvey’s bitter, in a Ditchling pub recently? Look closely at many top-end restaurants and you will find a lunch menu that offers far better value than your middling gastro-boozer. Moonrakers puts great food in front of you that will make you, and your bank manager smile. Moonrakers, The Sussex Restaurant, High Street, Alfriston. BN26 5TD.

YOUR WEEKLY GUIDE TO WHAT’S ON

10 – 16 MARCH

Under review Here’s our roundup of recent local shows, plus there’s oodles of reviews online at www.thelatest.co.uk Amadou and Mariam The delicious Malian duo kicked off the UK strand of their tour in a sold-out Concorde 2. The warmth between them – the ever so visible sensuousness of touch that is particular to the blind – and their reception by us was all wrapped up and bathed in the orange glow of the lighting, reminiscent of the cover of the 2004 Manu Chao-inspired album, Dimanche a Bamako. It was the eponymous track from new album Welcome to Mali that opened proceedings and the quality and grace of sound from then on in never let up – quality that was studio-sharp with backing band and singers obviously thriving in the mix. BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards seem almost redundant when describing the crossover appeal of these two fine individuals. Concorde 2, 25 February

★★★★★ Jan Goodey

delightful turns as he conversed with a Spanish worm, and a quietly received recital from his book. With the deft hand of a seasoned professional he left the night on a mediocre high, ensuring the audience closed the show with a smile. A highly enjoyable doubleheader of comedy. Komedia, 19 February

★★★★✩ Victoria Nangle

Dan Antopolski

Isy Suttie & Dan Antopolski Isy Suttie is delightful. A unique talent unto herself and reminiscent in all the best ways of Victoria Wood and Jo Neary. She throws herself into her performance with such gusto and self-amusement it’s easy to be drawn into her world of library recitals and old blues men. Dan Antopolski’s set was a hit and miss affair, with some

Variety Lives! Where else would you see Marilyn Monroe, and hear comic one-liners and jazzy blues (not necessarily in that order) but at a variety show? And that’s what this night is all about reviving. Rocker, Ronnie Golden, as compere is a cracking choice as he smoothly steered the show and entertained us with his roguish wit and chord plucking. Special guest, top impressionist Steve Nallon lived up to the deserved hype and was cutely complemented by the sexy wiles of Carrie Quinlan as Ms Monroe and a French beatnik. Variety shows are like marmite. Love them or hate them: either way, they’re here to stay. Komedia, 26 February

★★★★✩

Hot review of the week

Monica Perdoni

The Lovely Brothers The Lovely Brothers (including one female) are two guitarists, a keyboard player, and drummer who are partial to nurses’ uniforms, balaclavas and masks. Oh, and a lead singer who looks like he’s stepped out of a music hall. Think satire, think melody and you’re on the right lines of what The Lovely Brothers are all about. Why can’t politics be humorous and jolly, eh? Dinky ditties of ‘What’s on TV Tonight?’ with singalong choruses prove why this memorable bunch have gained a cult following. Art rock at its rawest? Pantomime-pop? Cabaret-punk? Forget the labels and just enjoy the ride. Komedia, 19 February

★★★★★ Monica Perdoni

Have I None by Edward Bond The play presents a sort of postapocalyptic society where humanity has simply got tired of excess – possessions, friends, family etc and abandoned them. The result is that the lead characters Sarah (Laura Corbett) and Jams (Max O’Donoghue) squabble endlessly about who sits on whose chair; these overly heated exchanges provide the play’s funniest moments that are frequently hilarious. Into this comes Grit (Chris Harrison) who claims to be Sarah’s brother. The acting and direction is strong but the play itself doesn’t have much new to say and the one act isn’t quite enough to fully develop the characters or the story. Upstairs at Three and Ten, 25 February

remove the barriers, like cost, that stop young people attending. “We believe A Night Less Ordinary will help hundreds of thousands of young people to realise what live theatre can do – inspire us, challenge us and help us make sense of the world. It’s an inspiration that can last a lifetime.” Kevin Eason, head of arts at Crawley Borough Council, which runs the theatre, says: “Being part of this new initiative provides a wonderful opportunity for us to extend the development work we are currently offering young

people in the town and offers a chance for many more in our communities to experience what the arts have to offer.” Attendance at arts events traditionally drops in the 18-to-26 age range and so this initiative is specifically targeted at young adults and their families. It is designed to reach new audiences and develop a new generation of arts attendees. The free theatre scheme went live at The Hawth in February and will then continue until 2011 with free tickets for under-26s available on most shows on Tuesday to Thursday evenings (free tickets for each show are limited). Tickets will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis and bookers will be offered the best seats available at the time of booking. A maximum of six tickets for one show can be booked by any individual and please note that each person claiming a free ticket must present their own ID to collect their ticket. Bookers will need to bring along some proof of age when collecting tickets at the box office (Young Person’s Rail Railcard, Citizens Card, 3-in-1 Card, passport or driving licence). For more information about A Night Less Ordinary and future shows that will be available free as part of the scheme please visit www.anightlessordinary.org.uk or The Hawth’s own dedicated page at www.hawth.co.uk and click on the ‘A Night Less Ordinary’ link in the left hand corner of the page.

L7 lowdown

The Young Victoria (PG) Dir: Jean-Marc Vallée With a producer that’s an ex royal (Sarah Ferguson) you’d be forgiven for thinking that this was all about Royal bashing. Nothing of the sort. Emily Blunt’s strong portrayal of a princess and then Queen fighting for her own will and her romance with Prince Albert is sympathetic to the humanity of the difficulties she faces. Fab but not stuffy period fare. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon

Gran Torino (15) Dir: Clint Eastwood Back in Dirty Harry hard man mode, Clint stars and directs this piece about a Korean veteran turning local hero when a neighbourhood kid tries to steal his 1972 Gran Torino. There are far, far better things than gangs – so says the Eastwood. Nice twist at the end, this is what would have happened if Dirty Harry had grown old with a white picket fence. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon

Watchmen (18) Dir: Zack Snyder Based on the mega successful graphic novels high hopes and great expectations are on the shoulders of this bad boy. Based in an alternative 1985, with costumed vigilantes the norm, a group of superheroes come together to investigate the death of one of their own. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon

Bronson (18) Dir: Nicolas Winding Refn Biopic of the infamous British career inmate Charles Bronson, formerly known as Michael Peterson of Aberystwyth. Starring Tom Hardy (RocknRolla) and Brightonians Matt King and James Lance as his boxing promoter and art teacher, this tells a story of a man that has spent more time inside than out, 30 years of which was solitary confinement. Showing at Duke Of York’s

The Unborn (15) Dir: David S. Goyer It’s a twin thang. Protagonist Casey (Odette Yustman) is hit on the head with a mirror by a neighbourhood kid only to find her eyes changing colour. A brief visit to the doc reveals that this is because she was once a twin, with her brother never making it to birth. As dreams plague her she comes to believe she is being haunted by a dybbuk, somehow connected to her family and to its history of twins. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon Confessions of a Shopaholic (12A) Dir: P.J. Hogan Chick flick and rom-com combine to bring this British chick lit bestseller to the big screen starring Isla Fisher (The Wedding Crashers) as the wannabe fashion writer humbugging it up as a finance agony aunt. Dealing with an escalating debt, not unfamiliar in these times, with a girly giggly prat-falling twist. Showing at Cineworld, Odeon and Worthing

Three Monkeys (15) Dir: Nuri Bilge Ceylan Coming from France, Italy and Turkey, and with Ceylan named Best Director at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival this is truly an international and universal tale. A family made up of a father, mother and son conspire to block out failings in each other that should, in truth, tear them asunder. Taking their cue from the three monkeys who heard, saw and spoke no evil. Showing at Duke Of York’s Wendy & Lucy (15) Dir: Kelly Reichardt Michelle Williams performs the subtle low-fi role of Wendy in this tale of struggle and isolation. When her car breaks down during her long journey to Alaska, and her dog, Lucy, goes missing, Wendy finds herself alone, low on funds and falling through one tough situation into another. A delicately constructed picture underpinned by self-determination. Showing at Duke Of York’s

FILM 29

Tough talking Matt King talks to Victoria Nangle about his new British film Bronson, as well as touching on his role in Inkhart ronson isn’t like Chopper at all, except that it’s all about a man who’s spent a lot of his life in prison,” says Matt King, one of the stars of this independent film biopic, telling the story of British jailbird Charles Bronson. Born Michael Peterson, Bronson’s name was changed by his fight promoter in 1987, and the reason many are comparing the biopic of the man to Eric Bana’s biopic of the infamous Australian convict Chopper is that he has spent 34 years of his 57-year life at her majesty’s pleasure, with thirty of those in solitary confinement. He’s even a published author, of fitness book Solitary Fitness, detailing how to stick to an individual fitness regime with minimal resources and space. He is ripe for a British biopic. “The film has more...” King reaches. “More poetry in it.” And this King credits to the movie’s director, Denmark’s Nicolas Winding Refn.

“B

“He has spent 34 years of his 57-year life at her majesty’s pleasure – thirty in solitary”

“Don’t get me wrong, Chopper is one of my favourite films, but when we were filming I could just see that Tom [Hardy, playing Bronson] was doing more than we could have imagined. The violence was only a part of this. Really, it’s a journey inside one man’s mind.” As King’s second movie, he’s hit the ground running, starting his illustrious movie career in this year’s children’s fantasy success Inkhart.

“Inkhart was a big-budget movie where I spent five months filming in northern Italy with Helen Mirren, Jim Broadbent and Paul Bettany – all of these people that I really admire,” he remembers. “It was a fabulous experience. My character was a dick who pushed Helen Mirren around a bit. Bronson was completely different. Filming in Nottingham on a budget with men really beating the crap out of each other.” A contrast he clearly values. Both films are also a part of a journey he is taking in his acting career. Known primarily for his comedy acting so far, particularly his parts in Bafta awardwinning television shows Peep Show and Star Stories, this is a part of a concerted decision. “I did stand-up comedy for 13 years and that was sort of my apprenticeship. I learnt how to perform, improvise – all the things you need to be able to do to act. All with this in mind. Now I’m learning more.” He pauses. “I want to be an actor when I grow up,” he teases. Asked whether he’ll be visiting the local stand-up clubs in his new hometown of Brighton he shys away. “I am never seeing another stand-up again in my life.” is his emphatic response. “I’ve seen enough to fill a lifetime.” Even when I try to tempt him with Eddie Izzard’s tour dates later this year he won’t budge, despite an admitted huge respect for Izzard’s work. “I love Brighton but I’ve only been here a month so I can’t wait to explore it more. It’s so good to go up onto the Downs and experience the countryside. We do it two or three times a week.” When I ask him about the Duke of York”s cinema, where he will be taking a Q & A following a screening of Bronson he admits he hasn’t the chance to go in yet. “I’ve walked past it though and it looks fantastic. Is it that good inside too?” I assure him it is and recommend the sofas in the balcony area. “I don’t think I’ll have to reserve seats,” he reminds me patiently. “Yeah, I’d like to book two tickets for me and Tom Hardy to see Bronson,” he chuckles. Screening and Q&A with Matt King and director Nicolas Winding Refn, Duke of York‘s, Friday 13 March, 6.30pm.

30 STAND-UP COMEDY | ART

A laughing matter Victoria Nangle loves the new comedy punters, but would ask one teensy favour...

here’s an abundance of new act nights in Brighton and East Sussex now. Long live the wonderful support brought to our vibrant comedy scene by these generous proprietors! Venues are opening their doors to new acts, and the comedy community is reaping the benefit – both as participants and punters. And as a semi-regular participant and a very regular punter there’s something that’s caught my attention. Newbie comedy audiences. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great that more people are venturing out to support comedy. Explore further afield and you’ll find at least a couple of new ones every week. My problem is with what could be seen as the selfish parent at a primary school recital. Those folk tempted out by the prospect of supporting their mate from work, the gym, that fetish night that they can’t make it out to now because the babysitter won’t stay that late anymore. These people are truly excellent support – they will whoop and applaud and feel a warm pride for this person they only know tenuously. And then chatter at varying volumes throughout the other acts.

T

“... the inner librarian grabs the controls in my behaviour and I’m making more ‘Shhh’ noises than a mountain biker with a slow puncture” Please don’t do this. It’s a rudeness that’s happened for an infinity in the music arena. These other acts are also new and are entitled to support. Plus, I can’t stress how annoying this is for the rest of the audience. Suddenly the inner librarian grabs the controls in my behaviour patterns and I’m making more ‘Shhh’ noises than a mountain biker with a slow puncture. I want to hear what every act has to say. A lively environment is great and adds to the general anarchic ambience great comedy cultivates. A quiet conversation at the back of the room, like you used to do in double maths is not anarchic. It’s annoying. Simply step outside if it’s that important. A friend of mine had a massive whispered row with his girlfriend at the back of a gig I was playing once. After it became clear the last word was never going to be ‘shhh’ they took it outside and he missed my set. To be honest, I didn’t mind. It’s not the kind of support I was looking for.

Stand-up wisdom: “I’ve been reading the prequel to Hamlet – Piglet.” Dan Antopolski

Write club John O’Donoghue reads A Ghost in My House, the first collection from local poet Lorna Thorpe orna Thorpe is as Brighton as the sea. She was born here for starters, and her dad ran a pub, the kind of place I can imagine a fair few Mods piling into in the 60s. Not that he’d have stood any nonsense: he sounds like he could have handled the Mods – and the Rockers – all by himself. I mention him because A Ghost in My House, Lorna Thorpe’s first collection, is dedicated to his memory. Her ‘Dancing to Motown’, from Pighog Press, was a Poetry Book Society Pamphlet Choice – a bit like going to Number 1 with your first single – so I couldn’t wait for the album.

L Win! Tickets to see In The Night Garden The Duke of York’s Picturehouse have teamed up with Latest 7 to offer youngsters the chance to see a special big screening of the popular kids show In The Night Garden. Created by Andy Davenport and Anne Wood, who last collaborated on Teletubbies, the show is based in a magical picture-book place that exists between waking and sleeping in a child’s imagination. Words, rhymes and music carry young viewers through a happy world of loveable characters. Introduce your child to the big screen with their favourite characters, including Iggle Piggle. Four episodes will be screening at The Duke of York’s over a two-week period. We have two pairs of family tickets (two adults and two children) valid for any screening between Friday 20 March and Thursday 2 April (see www.picturehouses.co.uk for full listings).

Mad Hatter’s Market

“Any book that starts: ‘Bombed on Tuinal and Newcastle Brown’ was always going to get my attention”

It’s all a bit mad down Brighton Marina as the Mad Hatter’s Market takes over every Saturday and Sunday this month. Popular lore says the Sussex Square tunnel that leads to Black Rock inspired Lewis Carroll’s famous story Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland – hence the Mad Hatter theme. Offering an eclectic mix of over 80 stalls both indoors and out, this is the perfect place to browse for that unusual gift (think Mother’s Day). Try tempting cheeses, cakes and nuts, find locally made jewellery and clothing and buy unique gifts and children’s toys. Between 11am and 4pm, follow the white rabbit signs to the live music stage and watch entertainers singing and dancing throughout the day. Don’t miss out! The Mad Hatter’s March Market takes place every Saturday and Sunday throughout March at Brighton Marina.

Any book that starts: “Bombed on Tuinal and Newcastle Brown,/Mad Eddie steams into our room…” was always going to get my attention. The poem is about coming of age in the 70s, of finding your way from being Daddy’s girl to Richard’s girlfriend. From a time when “Everything is changing – decimalisation/bricks in the Tate, A Clockwork Orange” – to now, she asks what’s it like to be a woman in a world men think is theirs? To be wooed by “The most beautiful man on Spetse”, Narcissus in a Greek disco; to confide in a stranger “The remastered greatest hits of my heart”; to say hello to “The woman you’re falling in love with,/the one we’re both dying to meet.” The book is divided into three sections, and the second section goes from her old man showering his daughters with his winnings, to him running a book from his deathbed. It’s a heartbreaking sequence, not least because of her father’s darker aspects. And then, just when you think that’s it, these lines in Part III: “Bank Holiday Sunday I died,/a congested artery closing, shutting off/my heart.” Her way back to life from the “feathered rest” of death is full of blood and bruises, strange echoes of what’s come before … It’s a brilliant book, as tender at Otis Redding, as raw as Janis Joplin. And as life-affirming as ‘Dancing to Motown’. Every bedsit, every shared house, every home, should have A Ghost in My House.

Brighton Festival The Brighton Festival recently launched their programme for May 2009 on Brighton Pier. Latest 7 jumped in lways aiming to instigate one-off and special musical events within the annual May Brighton Festival, Guy Morley and team have come up with another superb programme of music. From the avant-garde torch singer Diamanda Galas to the beautifully bleak acoustic sounds of Bon Iver, there’s a wide-ranging programme of music across many genres, and crisscrossing many territories of the world. Folk of the purest kind is what June Tabor is known for, but for the Festival she will be performing two concerts that will display her more adventurous side, firstly by joining forces with jazz musicians Iain Ballamy and How Warren under the name Quercus, and then the following night she’ll be joined by her current touring band for a selection of songs that mix social history, medieval French ballads and English folk. Brighton’s loose-knit community of musicians and bands turned record label Wilkommen Collective are organising three gigs as part of the Festival. Sons of Noel and Adrian’s orchestral folk sound headline the first event, while Leisure Society and Laish Quartet headline the second and third events respectively. In recent years Cuban music has been a fertile ground for the Brighton Festival, and this time the magnificent dance band Orquesta Aragon celebrate 70 years since their initial formation with a concert featuring its big band format that includes strings, flute, piano and percussion. Aragon’s big band format made a lasting impression in Africa, and the traditional rhythms of the continent were fused with

The Noisettes Three-piece led by the charismatic Shingai Shoniwa whose debut album, What’s The Time Mr Wolf, didn’t do as well as expected.

British americana and country act Two Fingers Of Firewater are in support. Wednesday 11 March, Latest Music Bar

Emiliana Torrini Icelandic born, Brighton-based songstress who came to notice as the co-writer of Kylie Minogue’s ‘Slow’. A superb presence on the stage, Torrini’s wide musical palette takes in Lily Allen type pop-ska, acoustic folk, bluesy pop and offbeat indie. Recent album, Me and Armini, is another great work. Saturday 14 March, St George’s Church Emily Barker & The Red Clay Halo + Beautiful Word Aussie Emily Barker is a writer and singer of gorgeous folk roots inflected songs and with her band The Red Clay Halo whose songs are realised into something very beautiful indeed. Barker has writen and performed two albums with Boo Herwedine, but with this band the sound and feel suggest the likes of Portishead, Martha Wainwright and Emmylou Harris. Beautiful Word are a local acoustic-folk act. Sunday 15 March, Latest Music Bar Pure Reason Revolution Part of the new wave of prog rock, bursting on the scene with the 12 minute ‘Bright Ambassador of Morning’ single, a name taken from Pink Floyd, which says it all.

34 MUSIC REVIEWS | CHART

REVIEWS A weekly review of local and national releases t’s perhaps a little too easy to write off The Prodigy just yet what with the new generation of banging techno dance merchants such as Pendulum. But you see, Pendulum are near as dammit coffee table muzak, while the original hardcore nutters/performance artists The Prodigy were always much more than music-bynumbers. Liam Howlett harks back to the glory days of the rave generation with Invaders Must Die, applying the punk aesthetic and coming up trumps with a proper album that hardly has a weak point. Revivalism, eh? Don’t you just love it? Yes, when talents such as Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson can evoke a certain period, a certain style without being beholden to it. No, when it comes to a bunch of odd kids [Black Lips] who just can’t get enough crackly vinyl, distorted recording sounds, Roky Erickson and the whole psychedelic garage scene of the USA back in 1965 to 1967. It’s weird, isn’t it, how people can become so besotted, so utterly awe struck (that they end up copying note for note, word for word) about a time and era they can only imagine. Unbelievably, 200 Million Thousand is their fifth album… Another superb Canadian band alert! This time Wintersleep who are leaping into the public frame thanks to a brilliant new album Welcome To The Night Sky. Belying their name somewhat, this Nova Scotia outfit make intense, melodic, dynamic and, most importantly, uplifting music. From the more literate end of the indie rock spectrum. The King Blues have been throwing musical spanners into the works, creating a buzz for their sub-Clash/Levellers/Streets hybrid. Not nearly as radical as all the above, there is a strong ‘pop’ sheen throughout Save The Word/Get The Girl, epitomised by the strangely disinfected lyrics. It’s as if they (or their musical masters) are holding the boys on a short leash. Things get really bad on the string-fuelled sub Streets schmaltz of ‘Underneath This Lamppost Light.’ From the wilds of Bedfordshire and on Shoreham-based Longman Records, Terry Emm’s White Butterflies debut album is a very gentle, spacious and almost hypnotising work of subtle beauty and grandeur. ‘Sapphire Eyes’, ‘Dove’, ‘The Evening Walk’, ‘Willow Talk’ and the title track more than hint at the gentle musical pastures Emm wishes to inhabit. Richard Durrant lends his considerable production and musical skills to the proceedings. Finally, Rachael Yamagata is a big new signing for Warner, and a surprising choice, as her downbeat, melancholic songs are sometimes quite fragile and stripped bare. However, behind the facade there’s plenty of slick production at work on Elephants, but usually for the benefit of the project, with strings and subtle effects dotted here and there. A name to look out for she has already shared stages with the likes of Pete Townsend, Aimee Mann and Damian Rice.

BRIGHTON’S ONLY WEEKLY GAY GUIDE NEWS

DiningDykes founder Jane Hamilton writes about why she started one of Brighton’s most successful LGBT social groups t was a night in the pub that led to me starting Dining Dykes. We were saying how great it'd be to have a group for gay women who wanted to meet other women away from the scene and go out for meals together. I really don’t think that my friends thought I was being serious when I said I’d start one and call it DiningDykes! Three years down the line, DiningDykes has more than 450 members – even more than the award-winning Brighton Lesbian and Gay Sports Society (BLAGS) – including celebrities like Amy Lamé, Zoe Lyons and Dulcie Danger. We have been out for dozens of meals, including our annual Christmas dinner. It’s not just about restaurants though, we’ve put on poker nights, music events, picnics, BBQs, speed dating, a charity treasure hunt, bowling, an adventure day and there is a business networking evening on the first Tuesday of every month. DiningDykes is a social, not a dating, group, although some members have met their partners through our events. We have lots of regulars and people coming for the first time – the events are really welcoming and not at all cliquey. One of the many things that makes DiningDykes unique is that while the age of members varies from 20s to 50s, the majority are in their 30s and 40s. There is no ‘type’; women come from a wide range of backgrounds – the only thing that they all have in common is that they're gay and wishing to meet like-minded women in an off-scene environment. DiningDykes works alongside its sister site GayGirlNet.com, the lesbian social networking site, where members can meet and talk to each other. Raising money for charity and being part of the lesbian community are important to me and so far we have raised more than £1,200 for good causes. The DiningDykes website has a directory of organisations relevant to the local community. Our third birthday party will be at Komedia on Friday 27 March with entertainment from Rosie Wilby, Julie Jepson and Nicky Mitchell, compered by Cat Harding from Up and Out on Radio Reverb. There will be a raffle with prizes including nights in hotels and meals for two in aid of Stonewall and sets from DJ Aquarius, DJ K, Dulcie Danger and DJ Smithy. £15/13, 7.30pm–3am. Doors open at 6pm. www.komedia.co.uk/brighton If you have any questions, contact me at DiningDykes@gmail.com

Prizes for Pride A stay in a luxury Alpine chalet is the top prize in this year’s Pride raffle. This is the first time that the festival has had its own raffle. Twenty thousand tickets have been printed and volunteers are out and about during Winter Pride this week selling them. Among the other great prizes donated by businesses are an afternoon of pampering at Champneys Brighton, Prada sunglasses from David Clulow, an appliance from Carters Domestic Appliances, a case of pink Barefoot Bubbly White Zinfandel wine and a meal for two every month for a year in 12 of Brighton’s fantastic local eateries. Lesley Burn, director of Pride, said: “We’re really grateful to everyone who has kindly donated prizes for the first official Pride raffle. Now we just need the people of Brighton and Hove to show their support by buying some tickets. All proceeds from the sale of the tickets go to Pride.” Tickets are £1 each and will be available in bars, hotels and shops throughout the summer Pride festival and until the grand draw on Monday 26 October. Winners’ names will be available on www.brightonpride.org, where you can find full listings for Winter Pride, which runs until Sunday 15 March. Winter Pride raises funds for the main free Pride festival in August in addition to raising funds and awareness for other charities and voluntary groups in the city.

LGBT at No. 10 Comedian Zoe Lyons was among celebrities and community workers invited to celebrate LGBT History month with the Prime Minister. Zoe was asked to a party at 10 Downing Street on Thursday, 5 March. The event had originally been scheduled to take place in February, LGBT history month, but was postponed by a week following the death of

the six-year-old son of David Cameron, Leader of the Opposition. Also at the reception were Harriet Harman, Minister for Women and Equality, Michael Cashman and gay rights campaigner and MEP. This is the first time the Prime Minister has held a reception for LGBT History month. The month was started in 2005 by the campaigning group Schools Out.

She says it how she sees it

Heston Blumenthal’s Feast Channel 4 Tuesdays 9pm n these four episodes Heston travels back in time, starting with the Victorian era and heading backwards through Tudor England, back further to medieval times before finishing with a Roman feast. The feasts are cooked for a group of brave celebrities, the first one being the Mad Hatters Tea Party. A Victorian feast based on a Victorian book, yum! Or not! If I was a celebrity there is no way I would ever accept an offer to eat one of Heston’s feasts, being a vegetarian doesn’t help but the fact that a majority of the food is made from things like fried eel, I don’t know many carnivores that would jump at the chance either. But regardless of how many times I sit squirming at what is being slaughtered, stuffed and made to be entirely edible I am still amazed by what this strange man’s imagination can create. You don’t just get a lesson in creative cooking, you get a history lesson to boot, which can be just as interesting as the food being laid on the plates, just as long as you can watch it and don’t continually have to hide the images on the screen by peering through the gaps in your hands that are covering your eyes! Heston really is that strange science kid that everyone knew at school, and, to me, he has succeeded where people like Jamie Oliver have failed, by making cooking cool, interesting and fun. Watching Heston’s shows will have you laughing with him as he experiments, as opposed to laughing at whoever Gordon Ramsey is being rude to and slapping his hands at. As far as TV chefs go, Heston is in a different league from the rest, and not necessarily because his cooking ability is better but because his technique is so very different. If you have managed to avoid anything concerning this slightly bizarre chap I suggest you watch an episode of this mini series as this is Heston at his best. There really is very little you can take from these to try at home, but luckily that is not the point of the show. The celebrities attending the feasts get to eat them, we get to have a feast for our eyes, and our heads, as half the time you are left thinking: “how on earth did he discover that if you freeze something and then pour liquid nitrogen on it and then cook it at 1,000 degrees for two hours do you end up with an edible butterfly?” I don’t enjoy watching people make food from the heads of animals, but I cannot deny that it is incredibly interesting and entertaining.

Films on TV Top tips for your week of flicks TUESDAY 10

Arsenic and Old Lace ★★★★★ (1944, TCM, 5.05pm. Dir Frank Capra) This farcical comedy sees Cary Grant living with his elderly maiden aunts and engaged to his neighbourly best beloved. All couldn’t be cheerier, until his dastardly brother returns and the aunts turn out to be not quite as harmless as he first thought. Much mugging and greater fun.

WEDNESDAY 11 Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo ★★✩✩✩ (2005, Five, 10pm. Dir Ridley Scott) Rob Schneider returns as the man whore, coaxed reluctantly back when holidaying in Amsterdam his bessie mate gets mistaken for a gigolo serial killer.

FRIDAY 13

Quadrophenia ★★★★✩ (1979, Sky Movies Indie, 10pm. Dir Franc Roddam) Jimmy Cooper (Phil Daniels) is fed up with his mail room job, nagging parents and the frustrations of life. Big things.

SATURDAY 14

Understated biopic focusing upon the ten-year heyday of boxing great Muhammad Ali, in which he set about winning back his heavyweight title after it was stripped from him due to his stance on Vietnam. During this period, he converted to Islam, met luminaries Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr and fought a legendary unification bout against George Foreman in a bid to reclaim the title he believed to be rightfully his.

SUNDAY 15

Last King of Scotland ★★★★✩ (2006, Sky Movies Indie, 8pm. Dir Kevin Macdonald) Oscar-winning tale set in early 70s Uganda where newly graduated doctor Nicholas Garrigan moves to Uganda to escape his conservative father.

wednesday 11 Grand Designs Channel 4, 9pm Some people want to live in the countryside and some people want to be the countryside. Anyone with an architect of their own is likely to fall into the second category – like Mimi d’Costa and her husband Andre, who want to move to Kent and have lovely healthy air for their two boys. Kevin McCloud ‘hmms’.

Minder Five, 9pm Back to the Daley clan routes as Archie decides to become a boxing agent in a bid to raise funds for his divorce settlement. Isn’t that how Arthur met Terry first time around? No matter. This time Archie plans to pitch a young boxer against an up-andcoming fighter. Except his ex throws a spanner in the works.

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart More4, 8.30pm If you find your news a tad too unappetising served up straight, don’t forget that there’s a satirical filter on hand every night to keep us updated and amused in one. The worse the news the sharper the satire, and if there’s nothing bad they’ll find something bizarre. The best from the States.

thursday 12 Comic Relief Does The Apprentice BBC1, 9pm With celebs including Jack Dee, Jonathan Ross, Ruby Wax and Carol Vorderman you get the idea that there are probably more leaders than followers in this season’s gaggle of expectant celebs after Sir Alan Sugar’s approval. Maybe Carol’s after a proper job from him too.

Dexter ITV1, 10.35pm The serial killer who mops up killers who got away gains the upper hand when Doakes tracks him to his latest kill. Then Doakes goes and reveals a secret about Dexter’s Dad and the balance of power goes all doo-lally. Don’t go talking about a serial killer’s parent – you just know it’s not the sensible thing to do.

Supernatural ITV2, 11pm The Winchester brothers are hot on the trail of spooky and unusual stuff that goes bump in the night, with their usual dollop of fraternal bickering thrown into the mix. Turning up at a small town – these things hardly ever happen in big cities – Dean and Sam discover a wishing well is granting wishes, with a twist.
