o it’s Easter at last and time to celebrate the benefits of four days off work (if you’re lucky). If you’re deciding how to spend the holiday, we’ve got everything from gigs of all shapes and sizes in music listings (p31) to family outings (p29) and what’s on at local theatres (p24). If you’re tempted by a night out with vibrant Asian cuisine and perhaps a bit of karaoke, why not use the long weekend to try Madame Geisha in East Street? See our cover feature on page 5. Sometimes it takes fresh eyes – or tastebuds – to help us make up our minds. For that reason, we enlisted some of Brighton’s youngest food reviewers to try out Sussex restaurants. Read the results in our kids’ food reviews section to choose where to take your family (p14). Brighton Festival next month looks set to push artistic boundaries and raise the profile of the city‘s arts scene across the world. Classical music and opera programmer Gill Kay spoke to us about the inspiration behind this year’s repertoire and how guest artistic director Anish Kapoor has invigorated the programme (p25). This issue of Latest 7 also has an exclusive interview with Phill Jupitus about impro, his heroes and starting out in comedy (p11). This is the first big weekend of the year for clubbers and there are some great lineups, including the launch of a bi-monthly Ministry of Sound residency; a DnB night with LTJ Bukem, Fabio and Grooverider; and the Stick It On Beachdown Festival launch party. They’re on different nights if you’ve got the stamina for all three; check out our club page (p33). It’s also a major weekend on the gay scene, with parties and promotions at Legends and Ghetto, while Revenge will host appearances from The Freemasons and The Saturdays and a Girls on Top Easter party – find out more in our weekly gay section, where you can read about new plans for this year’s Pride Festival (p34). If you’d rather spend your nights in front of a big screen, Let The Right One In, the acclaimed Swedish vampire movie, opens on Friday. In the film section, director Tomas Alfredson talks about how the 15-year-old vampire protagonist forces us to confront our ideas of anger and violence (p27). Whatever you decide to do, enjoy yourself and fingers crossed for some sun.

04 SEANN’S WORLD | XWORD

Seann

When it comes to manufactured pop, Seann Walsh is certainly no ‘Sk8ter Boi’

Take that, pop stars op music, of course, is all product: defined, designed and refined as an object of commerce, not art. Pop stars and pop songs are not conceived in terms of any perceived level of ‘quality’, but image. The marketing department is the spoilt, favoured, pampered younger brother of what I’m reluctant to call ‘artistry’. Artistically, the aim is to produce something immediately catchy to the specified demographic. The hits are written, or tailored, or designed, or whatever one should call it, by failed singer-songwriters who eventually dropped the word ‘singer’ from that title, presumably because they lacked the marketability to make it. A pop song is like a joke: ephemeral, pointless to analyse, and unlikely to be found in anything involving Corden and Horne. It has to appeal from the moment you press play. It is not art: it’s craft. Given this approach, it seems an extraordinary fluke that there is so much good manufactured music. That’s a subjective

statement. I like the music of Take That and the Spice Girls. I like The Monkees. I like an awful lot of awful music. Most pop, however, offends me. Take Avril Lavigne, a prebreakdown Britney Spears for skateboard-worshippers who use phrases like, “Gnarly, dude,” and pretend to know what that means. The Avril Lavigne brand is an attempt to cash in on the success of late-90s high-school, spiky-haired, sweat band-wearing teen rock bands whose names appear to be constructed along the principle: pick a noun, any noun, and then pick a number, yielding such wastes of

“The brief is to contrive an artless copy of something credible”

noise as Sum 41 and Blink 182. It’s the same naming framework as applies to Room 101, where, coincidentally, they all belong. The Lavigne brief is as follows: contrive an artless emulation of something credible that someone else has invented, and try to establish the brand. It’s a symptom of the times. Since the 90s, when it was deemed okay to be the Backstreet Boys, we’ve become

wiser to the industry. Suddenly, some degree of personality and musical credibility is required. A band like Steps wouldn’t make it now. These days, the role of marketing is to cultivate an image that disguises the Avril Lavignes of this world. It still sticks in my mind that Avril Lavigne has been referred to as a pop-punk-poet. This is the problem with modern pop. The Spice Girls didn’t pretend to be much more than a girl band. Let’s analyse the two words of that title: ‘girl’: a young female human; ‘band’, a collective. So, a girl band must be a collective of female humans. And it is. And that’s all the Spice Girls were. They didn’t pretend to be anything else. Only the first word of pop-punk-poet survives the truth test for Lavigne. We can compare her to Britney Spears, a pop star. That’s fair. Is it fair to compare her to Joe Strummer? Or William Shakespeare? No. She’s a pop star. nothing more. Despite this, she has credibility. I’m not happy about it, though I doubt that she or any of her fans would allow my opinions to concern them. After all, she’s cool – and I listen to Take That.

COVER STORY 05

Proper little madame

From tea to cocktails, cakes to pan-Asian cuisine, Madame Geisha cuts a stylish dash in East Street hen Madame Geisha opened there was a tangible buzz. The owners invested hard in turning what had been a grill restaurant into an altogether more exciting concept. Madame Geisha truly earns the title of ‘hot nightspot’. With queues to get in some nights, it is clearly the place to be seen. By day the venue takes on a softer and more sedate role. Fine teas and cakes, all made by chef Joe in their own kitchen, are available, and in daylight the red and black funky Asian styling takes on a softer more refined look. The entrance-level bar is buzzing and you could be forgiven for thinking that this is just a bar, but climb the stairs and you will find a restaurant. Do not be mistaken, this is not just a clubby bar serving food. Far from it. Joe and his team have put together an exciting menu of vibrantly flavoured and visually stunning dishes that will have your tongue turning somersaults. From tapas-sized plates of exquisitely spiced dishes to full size main courses, there is invention at every turn. We loved the grilled halloumi with red pepper salad, fought over a great spiced seafood broth and a slippery noodle dish, and shared an excellent fillet of salmon in a sesame seed crust with bak choi. There is certainly something there for all palates and

pockets. Joe has utilised his Thai heritage to create a list of dishes that combine authenticity and invention with integrity too, as they are sourcing local produce and only using organic meats. The service, too, is great – really helpful and very friendly, and the staff have all been well trained and know the dishes properly. So, having dined in good style you can either sit back and relax or head upstairs to the top lounge. You may even slip into the karaoke suite and belt out a few classics if the mood suits. Madame Geisha is also available to hire for parties of all sizes, from private dinners to wedding receptions. The interiors are a sharp and eclectic; a blend of east meets west, classic meets urban, with great artwork and striking projections that reflect the styling of Bladerunner – with just a dash of James Bond. Madame Geisha is stylish and smart for sure – but not so smart that you can’t have fun – and it now has a brilliant menu of truly delicious dishes that far exceed expectations. All in all, Madame Geisha is the one-stop full night out on the town. Madame Geisha, 75-79 East Street, Brighton, BN1 1NF. Call 01273 770847, www.madamegeisha.com.

Garden tours

Regency history was brought to life when the Prince Regent and his closest servants visited the Royal Pavilion. You were able to eavesdrop on the gossip of the day, observe how the unpopular but extremely fashionable Prince tried to cheer himself up with new shoes and new clothes all in the latest styles and learn the fascinating story of Sake Deen Mahomed, the original ‘Doctor Brighton’ and first celebrity hairdresser.

The Royal Pavilion launched Gardens Week 2009, the second annual celebration of the beautiful Grade II listed gardens. From Monday 25 to Sunday 31 May there will be talks, tours, practical workshops and family activities. Many events will be held under the cover of a Swedish Hat Kåtas tent. The week will feature fourtime RHS Chelsea Flower Show gold medal winner Andy Sturgeon. Also, back due to popular demand, is the opportunity to meet Royal Pavilion head gardener Robert Hill-Snook and enjoy a guided tour of the gardens followed by a cream tea. Gardens Week coincides with half term and families should not miss the children’s photography competition. The winner will get a prize and their picture will be turned into a card and sold in the Pavilion shop.

DEFINITELY DANI 07

Dani don’t know about you, but I really don’t think that making alcohol more expensive will hinder very many people from continuing with their binge drinking habits. Many people cannot really afford to buy alcohol anyway but still manage to find the cash. The things the people who are making the proposals don’t seem to realise is that, firstly, people with an alcohol dependency will go to extremes to get their hands on it (Not all of them, but some), and putting the price up will not change a thing. The people the idea is meant to help will still continue to buy alcohol. Let’s face it: some people who are extremely addicted will choose booze over food so a higher price won’t do much to sway them out of their drinking ways. Secondly, if the price was hiked, the whole nation would be being punished for the bad

behaviour of others. We are used to that happening at school (I still don’t understand the thinking behind that style of punishment) but I am sure we all expected it to finish once we entered the adult world but, oh, we were wrong, we all get the same treatment, just from a distance. Something else that crossed my mind was the fact that everything at one point or another will become a little more expensive and, at this point in time with everything seeming a lot more expensive than ever, the price of alcohol can only be somewhat expected to rise. There is only so long we can expect to get things at rock

Train of thought I tend to travel by train whenever possible. People complain about the service and, yes, it is annoying when the trains are cancelled and delayed, but overall it could be worse. I have noticed that some people only travelling one or two stops are under the impression that they shouldn’t have to buy a ticket. I don’t understand why some people think they are exempt from paying. But worse than the people who presume they don’t have to pay is when you are more than willing to pay but the ticket machine does not work and there is no ticket office open. You get on the train, try to buy one from the conductor and get told that you will not be able to use your railcard because you can only use it when buying your ticket at the station and not on the train!

Dani thinks that an increase in the minimum price of alcohol will do little to combat binge drinking

“What’s next? An increase in the price of cakes and biscuits?”

bottom prices for and, to be completely honest, the kind of person that buys the can of beer that is now some stupid price like 10p per can in certain supermarkets is certainly not buying it for the taste, so maybe stopping the sale of alcohol at ridiculous prices would at least do their taste buds a favour. But what is to come next? An increase the price of cakes and biscuits in a bid to stop those suffering with obesity from spending on a nibble? We have adverts on TV; there are posters in nightclubs and on bus shelters; and ads on the radio. What more can we do to stop people binge drinking? Personally, I don’t think the

current generation of binge drinkers will ever stop. It will be the generation that has been brought up bombarded with information about how bad alcohol is that will slow the current rise in drinking seen across the country. But even in the next generation there will be the minority that falls to the bottle. There is nothing anyone can do to stop it. Granted, adding a few extra pence on to each bottle might slow it – but only among those that choose to drink, not those who feel they need to.

08 CITY SPEAK

Alison adio 4 morphed from the original BBC Home Service, in response to pirate radio. The aim was to set the bar high so people would have something to aspire to, so that even if life had thrown you the trickiest of sticks you could tune in and at the very least hear standard English. At best you might be inspired to go check out some Chekhov. In 1986, millions of people spent their Saturday nights tuning into a Dennis Potter drama – The Singing Detective. Can you imagine that now? What do we have for our feast of Saturday night ‘entertainment’? Ant and friggin’ Dec. Two ‘men‘ who have defied the ability to grow up, and who have an excess of head skin. I blame Noel Edmonds, he started it with his Mr Blobby nonsense. And he is still there, every day talking to deluded folk about their so-called ‘plan’ to win Deal Or No Deal. There is no plan. There is no Banker, just a stupid git with a beard, laughing his way home with all the money they could have won. My gran is 94, and the highlight of her day is a hot date with Noel. This is okay; she has been alive a long time. She is allowed to let her brain have some time off. The

Will Harris considers experiences of a psychic nature

t was Christmas Eve two years ago when I had my first brush with the unexplained. I’d got up (same as usual), brushed my teeth, run my fingers through my rumpled hair (with, I’m pretty certain, the effect of only making it more rumpled still) and settled down on the sofa to watch 100 Greatest Musicals, Christmas being the one time of year when you can justifiably permit yourself a few jazz hands in the privacy of your own home. As I sat there, it slowly dawned on me that something was wrong. I couldn’t put my finger on what it was, but it sure as hell had a finger on me – five fingers to be exact, pulling me into the grip of a depression deeper and more inexplicable than I’d felt since binning the clubbing lifestyle some years before. This was sadness in its purest form, flooding the bones, misting the eyes and closing down every chink of daylight. I wouldn’t have minded but all I’d done was watch a few excerpts from Oliver. (Not even the bit where Nancy gets bumped off!) A few hours later, when my dad called me with the news my grandmother had gone the way of Nancy earlier that morning – advanced Parkinsons in her case, not throttled by a Victorian convict – of course I made the

“Ant and Dec. Two ‘men‘ who have defied the ability to grow up, and who have an excess of head skin”

woman has a beard for goodness sake. In fact I think it’s bigger than Noel’s. Maybe that is why she tunes in, to get styling tips. It all comes down to where we think the socalled ‘bar’ should be. Where it is considered acceptable to give up, tune in and drop out of bothering to use your brain. As the bar is lowered with each mindnumbing round of reality TV, pointless gameshows and intellectually untroubled shouty radio DJs, what are we saying? That, not bothering to make the effort to educate yourself or your children is an acceptable way to spend your life? A possible example of this has been in our faces recently in the froth and overexposure of Jade Goody’s final months. The tragedy is that she need not have died. She had a preventable cancer – if detected early enough. Maybe if Jade had been informed enough to know that going to the doctors when you get a dodgy scan could save your life, she might be around now. Brains, and using yours to educate yourself, are good for your health, and might just save your life. File on 4 anyone?

connection. Was it blind coincidence, that wave of melancholy washing over me the same time my father, aunts and uncles heard the news of their mother’s death? Or was it something in our shared blood, a psychic distress signal broadcast by some unmapped region of the brain? My friend Nadia recently reminded me of this when she arrived at our lunch date shaking like a farmhouse in a Kansas tornado. “It’s not like I think about him constantly,” she explained, him being the boy with the yellow eyes who had broken her heart years before. “He just popped into my head as I was walking to the bus stop. That’s the only way I can describe it: pop!” In case you were wondering, ‘borderline hysteric girl thinks about ex-boyfriend’ is not the strange thing here. No, what really cooked Nadia’s noodle was that, having made an unprompted appearance in her thoughts, the boy with the yellow eyes put in another, very real appearance on her bus. Pop! “What do you think it means?” she asked, but, of course, I didn’t have an answer. In times gone by, people would swap stories of ghosts and gods. Real stories, especially those involving dead relations and buried relationships, are scarier by far.

Phil Mills reports on the changing police force and a toddler welcoming spring

Police progress A sex war being waged within Sussex Police is threatening male dominance in the force – but most of the men are welcoming the invasion. It’s a non-combative battle which aims to support women and encourage them into higher ranks – currently, there is no woman in the force in a rank higher than superintendent. Over 400 officers and staff attended the official launch of EVOLVE, a new support network to raise the awareness and understanding of issues affecting women working in the force. Key guest Sally Gunnell spoke about how she achieved her aim of becoming an Olympic champion and how she then turned to new goals when she became a working mother.

“Currently there is no woman in the force in a rank higher than superintendent”

In true ‘female’ fashion, she even had to rummage through the contents of her handbag to produce the gold medal she won in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics to show to the audience. Best selling crime author Peter James, who has befriended Sussex Police and gained insight into its workings for his writing, also attended and offered his support. One Sussex policeman told Latest 7: “Emancipation for women has been happening for years and this is another step forward. “Some old timers will still believe men should rule the roost but that’s old fashioned thinking in this day and age. Most of us blokes welcome it.” The event, which took place at Mannings Heath Golf Club near Horsham, was opened by Marion Fanthorpe, director of Human

Three-year-old Ethan Heim from Brighton heralds the arrival of spring with a romp through a glorious field of daffodils at Leonardslee Lakes and Gardens near Horsham. The season is well underway and Wakehurst Place has this week unveiled its Easter offerings.

Children will be able to take part in an Easter Gem Trail around the Kew’s country estate near Haywards Heath over the coming bank holiday weekend. The Easter Gem Trail runs from Good Friday to Easter Monday (April 10 to 13) from 11am to 4pm, and costs £2 per participant, including an Easter egg.

Resources, who said: “Today is about the contribution women can make to take Sussex Police forward, celebrating the contribution women are making but more importantly about realising our potential to contribute so much more. This event is about women from across the force coming together, finding common ground, gaining confidence and getting our perspectives recognised and understood.” The launch followed a consultation conference in November and EVOLVE now has an elected board and a steering group. Chief Constable Martin Richards said: “I have always known that there is a lot of talented people in Sussex Police and it is great to see them all here together under this very elegant roof. This is all about opportunity and the wide range of talent this force has can only help us to serve Sussex.” Supt Steve Barry said: “EVOLVE has really fired up some of the key decision makers and has shown the force's desire to inform and support those who are most affected by gender issues in the workplace. “While EVOLVE is centred around female members of staff, there are many issues that also affect male members of staff, particularly with the high proportion of staff who have partners in the job but also in relation to flexible working. “EVOLVE needs to be more than a talking shop and that constructive progress needs to be made, whether it be in relation to uniform, flexible working hours or organisational blockages to progression.” More than 150 people signed up on the day to become members of EVOLVE.

14 CHILDREN’S FOOD REVIEWS

Food & drink Andrew Kay hands over the reins to a gang of kids who know what they like

Only kidding I tell you, there is no shortage of youngsters out there simply chomping at the bit to get my job. And who can blame them? My life, or a part of my life at least, is spent indulging in all things gastronomic, gourmet, gourmand, bon viveur and bon vivant, and it’s a job – hoorah! Seriously though, it is a job that I do with a certain amount of passion. I genuinely love what I eat, I love eating out, shopping for food and cooking food. But I love nothing more than the look of pure delight on someone’s face when they taste something new or something very special. And that look is never better then on the face of a young person. The media is full of stuff about food and kids but on the whole it is about fads, phobias, allergies and eating disorders. There are plenty of kids out there who love food as much as I do. Not everyone under the age of sixteen is craving a sweet bap filled with mechanically extruded animal stuff with a token whisper of iceberg lettuce and a slick of hideous mayo. No, I know plenty who will join with me in a plate of mussels, a dish of olives and a pretty spicy curry too. As a country we need to spend time making sure that future

generations are properly nourished but not by continuously harping on about the bad news, let’s have some good news too. Here is some very good news, once again les petits enfants gourmands have been out doing my job for me. This year nine children hit Sussex and came back with reports from a wide range of great places to eat. I gave them paper, pencils and some notes and hoped that they would come back having rejected where possible dismal kids‘ menus in search of restaurateurs who want our young to enjoy proper food. And once again they have done their stuff – in their usual disarmingly frank way. I think it is safe to say that they all had a good time. Many of them went to places that I have already been, and enjoyed too. But this week let’s listen to the voice of youth, which we will leave as near as possible in their own words. I think it’s a refreshing exercise and one that keeps me on my toes. Dip in and enjoy, as they have.

Bardsley’s Fish and Chip Restaurant

Cromwells at Golding Barn

Reviewed by Miriam Veil-Powley, age eight. The second I set foot in the restaurant, I could sense that something special was on its way. When I went inside, the waiters were very kind and welcoming and Roy came over to us to make sure my visit was going well. Everything looked neat and smelt so fishy – I’m speaking nicely – and you could smell lovely chips frying. I was worrying. ‘What if the place isn’t that nice?’ I said, shredding my nails. “Don’t worry! It’ll be all alright,“ said my mum. There was no need to worry, (or destroy my silver painted nails!). Nothing was bad – except going home. The food was served in excellent time and everything you asked for came exactly mimicking the image you had in your head of the meal you ordered literally two seconds ago. For a starter I had the world’s best three prawns with a crunchy side salad and a hand-washing bowl. Then – my mum does not want to read this part – I had a can of icy coke. For the main meal I ate the best local cod with the crunchiest chips! Roy came over and asked if you would like the fish skin off! You don’t see that every day! There was sauces including Heinz tomato ketchup, mayonnaise and a lovely sauce called Tartare. On the menu, there was a vegetarian section and a special children’s menu. For dessert, I ate some soothing blackcurrant and lemon sorbet, which I thought was on top of the world. On blackboards there were things like ‘local cod only £2.50’. My aunt said the wine menu was brilliant and they make the best tea. When she said it was time to go, I groaned and said thank you to everyone – politely, but was sulky in the car on the way home.

Reviewed by David Kay, 14 Our lunch was absolutely brilliant. We first sat and had drinks, ordered our food and then moved into the restaurant area. I didn't have a starter, but they looked amazing. Dad had vegetable spring rolls with sweet chilli jam. Julie had a pork and chicken terrine and uncle Andrew, smoked fish mousse with homemade potato crisps. My younger brother Gabriel decided to avoid the starters to leave room for something special at the end. All our meals were impressive. I had the special, lamb cutlets with spicy couscous. An incredibly tasty dish. The lamb was cooked really well and all the fat was cut from the meat so it was easy to eat and very tender. The couscous was spicy but not overpowering. I didn't want to pick up the bone to get all of the meat from it but my uncle bullied me into it and the meat was cooked to perfection. Gabriel had bangers and mash with NO gravy. The mash had a huge spiraling Cumberland sausage on top. It must have been more than a foot long if laid in a straight line. He said it was “um, good“, which is quite an achievement to get out of him. Well done chef! My brother and I were going to have an orange brownie, but they had sold out so we chose orange queen of puddings, brilliant and I expect nicer than brownies. There was a sponge base, then orangey marmalade covered with meringue. It was one of the best puddings that I have had. The other puddings included a banoffee creme brulée, which is really two desserts in one. Our meal was really tasty and it a perfect lunch time meal. Overall posh, tasty, but really friendly.

Pinocchio Reviewed by Louis Nangle, age 11 Pinocchio is a very nice restaurant, nice paintings, full of people, yet not too cramped or noisy. The service was very helpful, the waiter seemed happy, always giving you a smile and probably enjoys his job. In total, there were 143 dishes, desserts and drinks on offer. Ranging from pizza and pastas (including wheat free options) to gourmet salads, fish and meat dishes. There was an under 12’s menu and an option to have smaller dishes. I thought the children’s menu wasn’t as good as the adult’s menu, as there wasn’t as much choice. I had a minestrone soup for starters, very nice! Then for main I had a lasagne (my favourite) and I thought it was a very generous portion, a bit too big, but that’s my fault as I forgot to order a small! My friends had succulent grilled sardines, crispy calamari rings, which I also tried – they were really tasty, and a delicious pizza dripping with four cheeses. Then for pudding, which was very enjoyable, I had a coppa which consisted of a big glass of pistachio and vanilla ice cream, topped with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, biscuit and a surprise chunk of nougat at the bottom. It was a bit over the top, but in a good way! I’d definitely go again! Pinocchio 22 New Road, Brighton. Call 01273 677676

L’Eglise Reviewed by Kirsty Clark age 12 My mum and I went out to a French restaurant called l'Eglise for Sunday lunch. Inside it looks like a traditional French bistro, painted dark red and cream with a lot of dark wood and a dark brown with a leather sofa all the way down one side of the room. On the walls there are long mirrors and black and white photos. The atmosphere in the restaurant is calm and relaxed and the waiters are all friendly and helpful. On the menu there is a choice of eight different starters, eight main courses, six starters and then, the specials of the day. The menu is always changing but they always serve popular dishes like moules frites and steak frites. Sometimes they even have SNAILS! There’s no children’s menu, but who wants to go to a lovely restaurant and have a kid’s meal? We chose from the special Sunday roast menu. I chose slow-roast pork belly and my mum had roast leg of lamb. The pork was so well cooked it almost melted in your mouth, the potatoes were crunchy and crisp and perfect and the (four different) vegetables were sweet and soft. While we waited for our meal we were served tapenade on toast and fresh French bread, all delicious. For pudding we were so full we shared a green apple sorbet, which was completely refreshing. The portion size was just right for my mum, but for me it was slightly too big. While we were there, the restaurant got really busy, it’s definitely popular and I can see why. There is also a pretty outside seating area for the summer. I would definitely recommend L’Eglise to anyone who appreciates food. L'Eglise, 196 Church Road, Hove. Call 01273 220868

Zilli Brasserie at myhotel

Terre à Terre

Reviewed by Gabriel Kay age 11 Zilli’s family Sunday lunch was worth travelling 200 miles for. On entry we had a warm greeting and were shown to a circular table beautifully detailed with a spiral of inlaid shell. The décor was modern and sharp yet relaxed and comfortable. Behind us were huge crystals, glistening in the sunlight that poured through the full height windows that surround the room. The restaurant had embraced the family atmosphere welcoming babies and providing gentle, staffed activities for young children. The buffet-style meal started with a selection of Italian salads, soup and oysters. The refreshing colours of the salads and the range of flavours suited many tastes, the butternut squash being a favourite. The main course options were roast pork, roast beef, chicken, salmon and meat or vegetable lasagne, served with roasted root vegetables plus a fish and shellfish casserole. The beef was tender and juicy with a mustard crust and the pork served with crisp crackling. The portions of the soft, moist salmon and the lasagne were generous and filling. Dessert was ‘help yourself’ to lemon tart or fruit crumble with a light cream sauce and the chocolate fountain was an exciting way to coat your own profiteroles. We were treated with a lot of care and the staff were keen to make sure that everything was satisfactory, without being intrusive. Although the restaurant seemed quite posh and sophisticated it was not at all expensive for a lovely family meal in elegant surroundings. We all agreed that it was a really nice way to end our trip to Brighton. Zilli Brasserie, 17 Jubilee Street, Brighton. Call 01273 900 383

By Max and Stefan Curzon-Price Aged 16 This is a place of high, professional standards. You are greeted with a feeling of relaxing, friendly yet proficient service. Our coats and scarves were whisked away as we were shown to our seats and presented with the menu. We were unaware of what to expect. There are a huge variety of strictly vegetarian dishes, packed with huge amounts of flavours, plus sides and ‘picky bits’. Every option is interesting, a new experience, much more than run of the mill. We were pleasantly surprised at the detail and effort that had been put into every dish. We shared a Terre away tapas: a gigantic platter of colourful, enticing foods that can be described as nothing less than delicious! The small portions ranged from Indian-style, Babaganesh (an aubergine-based dip) to Greek-fried halloumi. Even the garlic bread had been enhanced to something particular and scrumptious! Finding ourselves very satisfied by the starter, we gave ourselves a moment before the main! Something even more delectable and unique. We ordered chana chaat, an Indian dish: poori layers with chana peas, black salt, smashed potato, a small bowl of soup and a very cute little muffin for dipping – all of which tasted magnificent! Again, they out did themselves with fantastic food and service. Unfortunately, we had no space for dessert and felt gutted at having to refuse the wonderful choices. We did take home some delectable salted caramel truffles, which we savoured at home. Terre à Terre offers so much more than just a meal out. It offers a new experience to any customer. The welcoming service and décor ensures that you are comfortable the moment you enter and as soon as you’re eating, you are guaranteed to question that meat is even a necessary part of your dinner! Terre a Terre is a fantastic restaurant which we would recommended to everybody! Terre a Terre, 71 East Street, Brighton, BN1 1HQ. Call 01273 729 051

Reviewed by Natalie Clark aged 11 My mum and I went on a Saturday lunchtime. This restaurant is modern, comfortable, bright and nice. There were quite a few couples eating as well and children including toddlers and babies. Our waiter was was very friendly and the service was great. We chose from the street food menu. The owner, Dawn, explained that this was the kind of food that you would buy at a stall in India. There were 27 things on the menu, mainly street food, but also thalis and Masala Dosas. We chose sticky vindaloo ribs, chilli cauliflower pakoras, samosas, Kerala salad, black lentil dal and naan bread! The food was delicious and looked amazing! If I had to choose a favourite it would have to be the sticky vindaloo ribs. The portions were exactly the right size, but we did have to work really hard to finish it – we ended up taking some home. There were plenty of drinks. I had coca cola and my mum had tap water. We couldn't manage pudding, so we had Indian sweetmeats and my mum had special tea. The sweetmeats looked amazing. My favourite was ginger and pistachio halva. My mum's favourite was the round coconutty one. I like spicy food but none of the food here was too hot. I would definitely recommend it as a good place to take kids of any age. Chilli Pickle, 42 Meeting House Lane, The Lanes, Brighton. Call 01273 323824

Reviewed by Rhiannon Price aged five The restaurant has lots of lovely colours, a big clock and mirror on the wall. I liked the big painting of a paw paw and the red, yellow and purple lights. I could see the chef cooking my food. The waitresses were friendly and gave me the children’s menu. It has a dot to dot puzzle, colouring pictures and they gave me crayons. I had blackcurrant juice to drink in a nice pink plastic cup. For starters, I ordered from the grown-up menu red peppers and vegetables on toast with goats cheese. There was a vegetable that tasted like pineapple and yummy red peppers on crispy toast. I liked the goat’s cheese – it was creamy. Mummy had smoked salmon. It looked pretty because it was round with zigzags of sauce. She said it was delicious. I went to the toilet and it was very clean – I checked it all over. Mummy said the soap was eco-friendly and toilet paper recycled. The children’s menu had three choices: homemade pasta, sausages and chicken goujons. I chose chicken, which was free-range with chips and salad. The chips were nice and crunchy and absolutely long. The chicken was really yummy. I enjoyed this even better than my starter. I ate a lot but I didn’t eat it all because I wanted to fit in pudding. Mummy had rib-eye steak and said it was the best ever and you could cut it like butter. Daddy had coq au vin and said it was great. I had chocolate brownie with ice cream from the grown-up menu. This was my favourite. The ice cream was made with a plant – a vanilla pod and was tasty. It was very big and Mummy finished it. I really like the restaurant. I want to go back and eat there again. Preston Park Tavern, 88 Havelock Road, Brighton. Call 01273 542271

The Chimney House Reviewed by the Graves twins, aged 12 We arrived at the restaurant at lunchtime and straight away we were met and shown to our table. The waitress was really friendly and helpful. She gave us a menu – a children’s menu and some colouring pens – we didn’t like to say we were too old for colouring! But we did enjoy doing the word search inside. She left us for a few minutes. We had a quick look around. Although it seemed quite small it looked very clean. There were about eight tables with fresh flowers on each. There were two chefs working and the kitchen area was open plan so you could keep an eye on them! The waitress came back and asked us what we would like to drink. We both chose coke. As it was lunchtime, there were no starters on the menu. There were side dishes and a choice of seven main courses. The children’s menu was for children up to 12-years-old. We both decided to order from the main menu. Between the four of us – we thought we would take our mum and dad along – we chose some bread and olive oil/balsamic vinegar and some salt and pepper squid from the side orders for our starters, and we chose the Sussex pork sausages with mash potato and beef burger with Sussex cheddar cheese, bacon and chips. When our starters came, we all quickly decided the squid was the best that we had ever eaten, and squid is a family favourite. When our main courses arrived it was piping hot. We both didn’t think we would be able to get through them as there was plenty. It tasted as good as it looked, and although we were full up, we didn’t leave any, but we really had no room for a dessert. We really enjoyed this restaurant and recommend it to readers.

Life force Denise Evans transforms her life with Bikram Yoga in Portslade am 47-years-old and overweight, with serious neck, spine, knee and hip injuries following a car accident four years ago. It’s the middle of January, and I’m fretting as I approach the new Bikram studio in Portslade – will I be the oldest and largest in the room? Will I embarrass myself? The warm welcome from Chokae allays my anxiety only a little as I take towel, mat and courage in both hands and enter the studio as the class begins... Two months later and I have completed my 64th class in 66 days. I have lost one and a half stone in weight, and have virtually no pain in my neck or spine. I have a waist again. Flexibility is returning to my hip and strength to my knee. Muscles are starting to re-appear. I have renewed energy and a zest for life that I had almost forgotten. I sleep soundly and well. I look and feel years younger. Life is sweet. The beautiful new studio in Portslade is the vision of Carolyn Jikiemi-Roberts, (CJ), a warm and friendly powerhouse of a lady who has spent two years planning, building and developing her vision into reality. Her love of teaching and passionate belief in the Bikram system shines as she chats: “I want to be doing this when I’m 70. As a mother I felt it was important to teach my children the right way to go, to have balance in life.” CJ has been practising and teaching Bikram yoga for six years. Starting out as an athlete, she gained a degree in bimolecular sciences, and later trained as a fitness instructor and personal trainer before discovering Bikram yoga after the birth of her third child. She went on to train with Bikram Choudhury in America and met Chokae there, inviting him to come from California to support the new studio. The standard of teaching is superb across the whole team – their considerable experience, skill, humour, warmth and patience encourages and challenges each individual student to the full. Whatever your age, sex, shape, size or physical fitness, you can benefit from Bikram Yoga, improve your health and change your life. Bikram Yoga open day on Saturday 25 April. Free yoga all day, Classes at 9.30am, 11.30am, 2pm and 4pm. After classes there will be food, drink and music to celebrate the successful opening of the new studio. Come and try it for yourself.

YOUR WEEKLY GUIDE TO WHAT’S ON 7 – 13 APRIL Under review Here’s our roundup of recent local shows, plus there’s oodles of reviews online at www.thelatest.co.uk Dorothy’s Shoes A cornucopia of entertainment can be found underneath the streets of Brighton in The Basement. Vaudeville double act Foster & Gilvan kicked off the night with painted faces, timeless stories in song and an array of percussion they distributed for all to join in with. They continued throughout the night, joined by table puppeteer Isobel Smith, bringing a further intimacy to the evening. Next door we were soon distracted by ballroom dancing demonstrations and lessons, before long waltzing down the cavernous ballroom at quite a pace. With further relaxation offered by a shadow puppet display in a ‘chill out’ type room, this was many unusual joys to the mind and body. A true treat. The Basement, 28 March

★★★★★ Victoria Nangle

the curtain finally came down for Lemar and his band. A fantastic, soulful voice, a charismatic man who is grateful – we are the reason he makes music, he tells us – and he’s gorgeous too; a complete package then. Everyone danced along to the highs (‘Dance,’ ‘Weight of the World’ and a fantastic rendition of ‘Sex on Fire’) and swayed along to the slower ballads in a memorable night with this soul artist.

Hot review of the week

John Cooper Clarke The Salford soothsayer has reached that stage in his career when he can pastiche his own works – so tonight we even get an updated segment of ‘Beasley Street’. Saves time and for a performance poet who‘s been plying his trade since the 70/80s punk-poet (and Sugar Puffs ad) heyday, makes sense. Johnny Clarke is an old school humorist with biting, mordant wit and it’s as much the banter/ribald gags betwixt verse which make the night. That and the lilting, pitch perfect delivery of such gems as ‘Hire Car’ and ‘Evidently Chickentown’, which featured as an ‘out’ in The Sopranos for those of you clucking for an online liqueur.

★★★★✩ Waiting For Godot Waiting for Godot was never easy, but in this brisk and busy production it is perhaps as lucid as it could ever be. Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart lend an intimacy to the roles that is moving, they are like a long married couple. McKellen is soft, vulnerable and utterly passive while Stewart is a back slapping optimist. The relationship is quite extraordinary and at times watching seems voyeuristic. There is plenty of business too, almost slapstick, that keeps the whole moving along. Simon Callow huffs and puffs his way through act one but the real effect comes in his act two appearance as an utterly defeated soul. Ronald Pickup’s Lucky has shades of music hall stooge but his verbal outburst is breathtaking. With a stunning set and clarity of both staging and direction, this is a theatrical triumph.

Jan Goodey

Theatre Royal, Brighton, 27 March

The Perils Potentially what The Perils have is rock’n’roll. Not only can they effortlessly knock out high voltage songs with plenty of melodic zip, but in Danny they possess a charismatic hunk as frontman. They also have a fantastic drummer who rips into his skins like Animal from The Muppets, and a twin guitar attack that lends extra texture and depth to their songs. Exhilarating stuff. This was their homecoming gig following a lengthy tour and the crowd was a bit subdued (it was a cold Monday) but The Perils are definitely one to watch.

his nerve-shredding and riveting drama is based on the incredible true story of shocking events which took place in a London suburb during the 1960s. The Jacksons are a normal family living on a normal street with normal neighbours, or at least that’s what they thought. The arrival of a stranger, who says he’s from the government, shatters the happy quiet life of the Jacksons as the truth about their much-loved neighbours is revealed to them.

Delphic Theatre, with their new ‘Most Sponsors’ initiative, is trying to find a new way to make sponsoring plays possible in a time of tightening purse strings and an opportunity to make a sponsorship drive about more than simply money. The aim is to get as many sponsors as possible to invest in the production of Oedipus, to be performed in Jubilee Square from Tuesday 5 to Friday 8 May. However, they will all be investing for a small amount: between £1–£10. The idea is to get as many sponsors as possible for the production, allowing everyone to chip in without breaking their already-strapped bank accounts. Also, this will allow more sponsors than any other piece in Brighton. So a simple goal: 1,000 sponsors or £1,000. Will you join in? Look out for Janine Robins coming to your business soon.

BRIGHTON FESTIVAL 25

Agony & ecstasy Gill Kay of Brighton Festival talks about this year’s music programme his year has been both interesting and challenging. The best part of this job has been that every year is completely different, as different as we can make it. And I have been working on the music programme now for 23 years. Much of the appeal has been the variety, always looking for something different. “When Andrew Comben was appointed as chief executive of Brighton Dome and Festival and announced that he wanted us to work with Anish Kapoor as a guest artistic director I was unsure how it would work. But we have really benefited from the clarity and strength of his ideas – it has been great having real artistic direction. “A core theme from Anish has been female martyrdom and this suggested lots of ideas in terms of classical music. Immediately I looked at the story of Scheherazade in two interpretations, one by Rimsky-Korsakov and one by Ravel. Anish is fascinated by the idea of female martyrs and Daphnis and Chloe also fitted well with that giving us an exciting programme of music for the Orchestre National de Lorraine, one of the orchestras with which we have built a strong relationship. I am also excited that for the main part this is a French orchestra playing French music. This beautifully links with the Salman Rushdie texts in the work Blood Relations that he has co-created with Anish which will be exhibited at Fabrica.‘‘ We asked Gill if she is under pressure to produce a balanced programme, one with something to suit all tastes, from popular to highbrow? ‘‘Yes, there is always something to appeal to the width of our audience, from massive works involving huge orchestras to solo works, from popular to challenging. I think it is my job to find at least one thing for every person. Andrew has instilled an intellectual slant to the whole and that has been good. The whole Festival has been focused in order to raise our game and help us reach a higher level internationally. ‘‘In the last few few years I have been left to work on my own but this year the process of programming has changed and has been very exciting. Having a guest artistic director has focused our thoughts.

It’s a bold move but I think at this time playing safe is not the right option. Working with a theme has created strong threads.’’ Do you have a thread? Yes, but never at the expense of the audience and their enjoyment. The French concert will appeal to our traditional orchestral music lovers, but in addition the link to Anish Kapoor’s Blood Relations which he created with Salman Rushdie may draw them to a new experience. The John Adams concert will build on the audience that seek something, those interested in new music and the music of the late 20th century. Harmonium uses the text of a poem by John Donne Negative Love and two Emily Dickinson texts. I had to build a programme around that so added Short Ride in a Fast Machine and then Tarik O‘Regan’s the The Ecstasies Above based on Edgar Allen Poe’s Israfel. This will be an epic evening with a massive orchestral piece side by side with the Brodsky String Quartet and a huge choral presence. Is the 2009 festival more ‘high brow’ than previous festivals? ‘‘In parts yes, but that I think is a good thing. I have worked very hard to develop the theme but also to retain and entertain our audiences. You are a Brighton Festival Chorus member? ‘‘I help manage it and sing. There is an amazing choral tradition in the UK. The BFC was formed to sing in the festival but it has grown beyond that. Lazlo Heltay was a very demanding choir master and took it to an entirely different level. We worked with some amazing composers and conductors and we do 12 to 13 concerts a year. Andrew Comben’s background is classical music, has that been good? ‘‘His remit is far wider than just music, as chief executive there is a huge amount of work, but when we talk we are on the same plane. I like the challenge every year. If it was just about booking concerts I would be very dissatisfied. This year is very exciting. The crux of programming has been keeping that thread of the theme but also being able to run off at tangents to it.‘‘ For full music events see the Brighton Festival 2009 Brochure. www.brightonfestival.org

FILM 27 It’s obviously filmed in some incredibly cold locations. Was that a worry, going in? Yes, it was a big worry, because, aesthetically, it's very hard to have all this white snow, because it makes white holes on the film negative – it just looks blank! How did you cast the children? We spent a year trying to find them and we went all over Sweden to look for those two. Did they understand the film? I told them what this film was about, briefly. But you can’t give children the responsibility of making a complete portrait, from A to Z. It's too much to carry. Why not? They’re kids. They should stay kids, I think.

Biting cold

Why do you think Sweden lends itself so well to this kind of story? We obviously have a lot of darkness here in the winter. It’s noon now and it'll be getting dark in two hours or something.

Director Tomas Alfredson talks about Swedish vampire film Let The Right One In

Are there vampire myths in this country? No, there aren’t. But there are a lot of stories about dangerous wolves!

Are you a horror buff? No. This is the first time I’ve made a film in this kind of genre. How did you come across the book? It was a friend who gave it to me. I read it in 48 hours. It was a bestseller when it came out, and it was sort of a sensation here in Sweden. It was the writer's debut. John Ajvide Lidqvist was in his late thirties when he wrote it, which is quite unusual. What attracted you to the book? I had some rough times when I was a kid, so I had some strong feelings when I read it. It's also very interesting when you’re at that age – if you are bullied you really don’t know where to go with all your feelings. So this vampire girl that Oskar meets could be the embodiment of his anger. And that was my way into the story.

After the last war, because Sweden was not in the war, we were the richest country in the world, so the Social-Democratic government really wanted to experiment with society. Was it important to set the film in 1982? It’s not a very important thing in the film, but for some reason it’s easier to tell this kind of story in the past tense.

“I would say that the strongest images of violence are the ones you make yourself”

A lot of the violence is implied rather than seen. Was that always your intention? I would say that the strongest images of violence are the ones you make yourself, in your head. If you were to try to film a scene with a small kid tearing someone’s head or arm off, with a limited budget, it would be rather impossible, I think. The film has been a big hit with horror audiences. Did that surprise you? Yes. I have been travelling around, meeting these guys with long black hair and rings in their noses, introducing themselves as “Bloody Hell”. (Laughs) I didn't know it was so big, this community! Let The Right One In is showing at the Duke of York‘s and Odeon from Friday 10 April

What discussions did you have with John? He was very brave. He wanted to do the screenplay himself. But it turned out to be a very good decision. The title comes from a Morrissey song. Are you a fan? I’m a Morrissey fan as much as anyone else, but the writer is a big fan. Is the setting the same as in the book? Yes. This is a very special environment.

28 STAND-UP COMEDY | ART Seascape, Bexhill-on-Sea, 30 October 2008 at 12.26pm

A laughing matter Victoria Nangle calls out – to thine own voice be true, and make sure it’s an original

he best comedy is the kind that nobody else could think of. It’s worth remembering that when writing new material. Traffic lights may annoy you, but they annoy all the other comics on the circuit too. If you are driven to distraction by the noise the bath water makes when it goes down the plug – but only when the plug is one of those pushy up-y ones that are on a lever instead of a chain – you may find you have a unique perspective. That’s what will make you stand out from the other new acts when you write about it. It may seem like putting your head on the block, simply writing gags that are personal to you, but in baring that part that no one else has you’ll be different in a good way.

“Possibly it’s simply the image of a not too petite me trying to sail away in Argos’s finest packing apparatus” Sometimes just an enthusiasm for your personal belief can get you a laugh, as the audience simply enjoys your joie de vivre. I’ve got a gag about massive cardboard boxes. It’s not wildly funny but I always say afterwards how great I really feel they are for having adventures in, and I mean it. Possibly it’s simply the image of a not too petite me trying to sail away in Argos’s finest packing apparatus that does it. I like to think the laugh that comes is simply at my personal conviction that most things can be escaped from happily in this flimsy but hardy childhood building material. Whichever, no one else says it on the new act circuit and I get the laugh. Admittedly it would be better to combine a funnier cardboard box gag with my conviction, but hopefully that will come with time. It does remind me to keep writing stand-up from my own personal experience and reactions though. When I slip over walking underneath the railway bridge down New England Road and inadvertently cover myself in pigeon ‘manure’ I realise the rush hour traffic caught in a jam will enjoy witnessing this one-off spectacle. If I did it every day – or a generic someone did it every half hour – it wouldn’t garner the same amusement. It’s unique to me, and that’s what makes it funny. Luckily stand-up generally doesn’t demand the same cleaning bill. The price of laughter I suppose.

☺

Sea views Digital delicacy captures the intricate changes on the shoreline Susan Collins’ Seascape consists of a series of gradually unfolding digital seascapes created using imagery captured in realtime by webcams installed at five key coastal vantage points on the south coast between Margate and Portsmouth. Sited at each location for up to a year before the start of the show, the webcams record the endless fluctuations in the light that are a characteristic feature of the English coastline, and which have attracted painters for generations. Susan Collins’ work presents an extraordinary visual exploration into the natural cycles of tide, time and light. Susan Collins: Seascape, until 14 June, De LaWarr Pavilion, Bexhill-on-Sea

John O’Donoghue takes a peek at a geek, who is riding high in the success stakes right now avid Peace had a very good March. Red Riding, based on his Red Riding Quartet, aired on Channel 4; The Damned Utd, the film based on the novel, went on general release; and, to top it all, news came of a David Peace Conference at Brighton University on Friday 3 June. If you think that last crack’s a joke, you’re very much mistaken. Peace is the geekiest of writers, and all of his novels make use of meticulous research. He’s part of the Plate Glass School, along with David Mitchell and Sarah Waters. Mitchell and Waters both went to Kent, and like Peace devote long hours to swotting up on the historical backdrops of their books. Not for them the thinly disguised autobiographical novels of writers starting out, early Amis, say, or Hanif Kureishi. The Plate Glass School go in for a watered down postmodernism, virtuoso pastiche, and the staid delights of plot, pace, and character. Their self-effacement comes as much from the Death of the Author as it does from innate modesty. They’re writers from Generation Dweeb. And they’re all brilliant.

D Easter fun If you’re looking for something different to do this Easter holiday, why not try decorating your own eggs? The RSPCA have come up with some great designs (pictured) for you to copy or use for inspiration. Start by choosing higher welfare eggs – either barn or free-range. If they have the Freedom Food label it means they come from hens kept on farms inspected to the RSPCA’s welfare standards. With the help of an adult, boil the eggs for 10 minutes and let them cool. Paint or draw on the shells – watercolour or acrylic paints work best. Avoid oil-based paints if you’re planning on eating the eggs later on. If it’s just for decorating – stick on bits and pieces to create hair, fur, faces or even clothing for your egg. Voilà. A fun craft session to put some fun into the holidays.

Drusillas Park Child favourites Noddy, Big Ears and Thomas The Tank Engine’s Fat Controller descend on Drusillas Park this bank holiday weekend. On top of the usual park

attractions, Noddy and Big Ears will greet visitors throughout the day on Thursday 9 April. The following day (Good Friday) the Fat Controller alights at the park to oversee the efficient running of the railway. The Easter Eggstravaganza weekend at Drusillas is also the place to get your hands on a sweet treat.

“Not for them the thinly disguised autobiographical novels of writers starting out” Peace, however, didn’t quite make it to the sunny uplands of campusland. He want to Manchester Polytechnic, and he’s a much grittier, darker, bleaker novelist than his peers. David Peace’s subject matter has long been the North, and in The Damned Utd he tells the story of Brian Clough’s 44 days in charge of Leeds Utd, when he took over from David Peace Don Revie. But you don’t have to know anything about football to appreciate this book. It’s Shakespearean in its intensity, written as two dark intertwining soliloquies, one about Clough’s glory days at Derby County, when they won the League; and one about his disastrous reign at Leeds. What’s David Peace like in person? I met him last year, at a City Books event at the Old Market. He’s very polite, and very dry. But he’s got a dark, dark shadow. Read him with all the lights on.

Block Party On a roll and with a new album The Blockheads are back. Jeff Hemmings spoke to frontman Derek Hussey ou all know the classics; ‘Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick’, ‘Reasons To Be Cheerful (Part 3)’, and ‘Sex and Drugs and Rock’n’Roll’. Well, apart from the departure of the maverick frontman Ian Dury (who died in 2000), you wouldn’t necessarily be able to tell the difference between The Blockheads today and The Blockheads circa 1980. Except they have a new frontman and lyricist in Derek Hussey – a man who has been involved with the band for nigh on 20 years in one guise or another. “I had a chance meeting with Ian and he asked me to drop by his flat anytime and I did!”, says Derek who pre-Blockheads was a special effects man; he made The Man With The Golden Gun’s eponymous firearm glitter amongst other effects. Hussey ran a special effects business with his brother but started to be Dury’s minder and general helper at the same time. “I was his prop... with his polio, he needed somebody to hold onto. I was really like a stair rail,” he says. He would also walk Dury on and off stage, both hamming it up. “I also started to come onto stage to sing on ‘Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick’, just shouting the ‘Hit Me’ bit.” By the time Dury died Derek’s business had gone down the tubes as computers started taking away the work that he had previously done manually. The band decided to carry on after Dury’s death

because “there was a demand for it, so we did some gigs,” says Derek. Various members of The Blockheads shared vocal duties on stage and on their first post-Dury album Where’s The Party? But the grit was missing. Original Blockhead Mick Gallagher has said: “We didn’t want to emulate what we were with Ian, but we did want the continuity factor, and it worked when Derek took the front, ‘cos he’s a Londoner and he expressed himself colloquially.” Derek has written the lyrics while Chaz Jankel has written the music for the new Blockheads album Staring Down The Barrel. “I’ve tried hard not to be a pastiche of Ian, but I want my lyrics to be heard… I’m a cockney, like Ian, but I hope people don’t think I’m just another Ian.” The Blockheads, 11 April, Old Market.

32 MUSIC REVIEWS | CHART

REVIEWS ricket, eh? In this weird and wonderful world the England ladies team seems quite capable of winning the World Cup while the men flail and flounder. Not so One Day International, the madly named fivepiece whose debut Blackbird is the record Coldplay would make if they had more imagination and melodies at their disposal. Cymbals, glockenspiels, plenty of keys, melancholic vocals, and wordy songs make for a somewhat depressing listen though. Christ on a bike! Are The Easy Star All-Stars allowed to deconstruct and dubify perhaps the most iconic album in the history of rock’n’roll, by the greatest band that ever walked the earth? Who do they think they are by parodying the cover artwork, with their big plantation of weed? Well, The Beatles themselves (who placed a tiny sprig of marijuana on the Peter Blake artwork of 1967) gave the go ahead for this project, their follow up to their masterful reinterprations of Dark Side of the Moon and OK,Computer. There’s something slightly at odds with the essential poppiness of Sergeant Pepper, but it’s up there with the aforementioned albums, perhaps benefiting from the psychedelic aspects of Pepper, which sees the Easy Stars Lonely Hearts Dub Band up the tempo at times and inject some playfulness into proceedings. It’s clever, mesmerising and at times sublime, particularly the tracks that best lend themselves to the druggy dub vibe of the band – ‘Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds’; ‘Within You Without You’ – but also on the somewhat amusing reworkings of ‘When I’m Sixty-Four’ and ‘She’s Leaving Home’. Brighton’s Way Tangent are from BIMM, but a class above most of the rest with their excellent range of indie rock, from the incendiary, and very memorable ‘Why?’ to their more mid-tempo ‘It’s Not You’. Way to go, Way Tangent! Irish singer songwriter David Kitt releases his sixth album this decade, the expansive The Nightsaver. From the dreamy opener ‘Move It On’ to the groovy beats of ‘It’s Yours’ via the glitchy ambience of ‘Learning To Say Goodnight’ there’s plenty of artful subtleties and meaningful snatches of instrumentation. Cerebral stuff, but infused with a warm producton glow and of course, his easy-going voice that simply lulls the listener into his mesmerising music. Bat For Lashes multi-instrumentalist Caroline Weeks releases her debut album this month in the shape of Songs For Edna. The nine stark, minimalist folk songs all feature lyrics ‘borrowed’ from the late American poet, Edna St Vincent-Mallay. Experimental and haunting, Weekes will be touring with Bat For Lashes this month as well as launching the album at West Hill Community Hall on 11 April.

BRIGHTON’S ONLY WEEKLY GAY GUIDE NEWS

Pride Festival announced some exciting plans for 2009 and welcomed some new faces at its AGM

Accessible art Artists will raise money for the Sussex Beacon by exhibiting new work during the Artists’ Open Houses festival. Romany Mark Bruce, designer of Brighton’s Aids Memorial, and Hizze Fletcher, who last year produced the exhibition One Hundred Artists for World Aids Day, will showcase material at the Kemp Town open house No Back Door every weekend in May. Both Brighton-based artists have a strong commitment to charity fundraising and will be donating ten per cent of sales to the Beacon. Within the exhibition there will be an additional display featuring an update on the progress of the memorial, with drawings, photos and video footage of the sculpture. The installation, which is to be sited in New Steine Gardens, is currently at the foundry being cast in bronze. It is hoped it will be erected before World Aids Day on 1 December, but there is still some fundraising to do. Downstairs at the open house an interactive workshop will give the public a chance to express themselves and sculpt miniature heads out of clay. The finished pieces completed over the month will form part of the show, highlighting how art should be accessible to all. Romany, who hopes to be at the exhibition every day it is open, said: “The Aids Memorial has received great support from across the community and this will be an opportunity to see how it has progressed from the first drawings to the foundry.” Hizze said: “I am very excited to be exhibiting in such an established space. I have great respect for Romany’s art and the contrast in our styles will work well together.” No Back Door is at 30 George Street, Kemp Town on every Saturday and Sunday in May from 11am to 6pm.

Social network A social networking event for gay professionals returns to Brighton next month. Village Drinks will be held at Latest Music Bar, Manchester Street, Kemp Town on Thursday 7 May from 7.30pm. It will be compered by Cat Harding, presenter of Radio Reverb’s Up and Out LGBT breakfast show. Village Drinks has more than 500 members in Brighton. It will gather monthly for informal drinks, speed dating and private dinners.

Last year the group was nominated for the Stonewall Community Group of the Year Award. Cat Harding In December it raised more than £4,000 with the support of Ian McKellen for the Albert Kennedy Trust. To attend, visit www.villagedrinks.co.uk to upload your profile. Registration is free.

ride organisers have plans afoot so that everyone who takes part in the parade can watch it afterwards. The team behind the biggest free LGBT festival in Europe want to install a giant cinema screen in Brighton’s Preston Park to show highlights of the parade throughout the day. The 40sq metre screen would provide a focal point for the huge event on Saturday 1 August. If the proposal goes ahead, it means everyone who takes part in this year’s procession will have the chance to see the other floats in action. But the screen would come at a price and would require extra support from the sponsors, who would be able to have their branding displayed on it. Pride spokeswoman Judith Manson said: “It would be in the public area near the members area and would have footage throughout the day of the parade, footage from around the park and Pride announcements.

“If you are at the front of the parade, you don’t see what goes on at the back.” At Pride’s AGM at the Queen’s Hotel last week, chair Yvonne Barker said the board expected the 2009 event to match or exceed last year’s record visitor numbers of 160,000. But she warned it may be a tough year for the festival’s finances. In 2007/8 Pride in Brighton and Hove made a loss of £17,588 due to various factors including increased security costs and the withdrawal of an Arts Council grant for the parade workshops. The loss had to be subtracted from £72,085 brought forward from the previous year. This means the organisation was not able to put any money into its reserves. It currently has savings of £20,000 and is trying to increase that figure to £45,000. Yvonne said: “We are very aware of the current economic position and we are looking to our own financial position and any impact on Pride. Clearly we can’t afford to run at a loss.” This year there will be a Pride fundraiser some time around 24 October and for the first time there is a Pride raffle. Pride director Lesley Burn said that every group that takes part in the parade will be invited to bring something from their float to a central point in the park, so that the parade theme of ‘Pride Beside the Seaside’ is represented. She said: “It is our intention to keep Pride free.” The management approved the appointment of five new trustees – Geoffrey Bowden, trustee for communications and public relations, Sam Dickinson and Philip Warford, who will jointly lead on legal matters, Neil Dillon, who will lead on volunteering, and Timothy Drew as treasurer.

Films on TV Top tips for your week of flicks TUESDAY 7

The Secret Millionaire Channel 4, Sundays t feels as if this has been on our TVs for such a long time. When it first started I couldn’t manage to watch an episode without crying my face off. The idea of the show is wonderful, millionaires leave their mansions and pockets full of money to go and live in some of the country’s poorest areas. While living in those places they have to survive on the equivalent of job-seekers‘ allowance. No-one knows they are millionaires. The idea behind it is that they spend time in the community and by the end of their stay they will donate thousands of their own money to the people and causes in the community they think deserve it or need it. Not only does this programme tug on the heart strings but it informs the rest of us about the problems many people in this country face each day. Sitting at home on our sofas we can all too easily forget the fact that there are people struggling and suffering on our very own doorstep. But it is not only the viewers that get a wake-up call, the millionaires involved also return home with a new outlook on life. They are all self-made millionaires, many of whom came from regular families and sometimes poor families. Many of the millionaires are so touched by what they see they return again and again to give constant help and advice to those running charities or foundations. They spend just ten days in these places and many end up promising a continued source of help, not in the form of cash but in the form of a more sustainable help. It is interesting to find out that many of these privileged people, who can now offer help, came from backgrounds not too dissimilar from those they are thrust into, proving that if you try hard enough and will a small pinch of luck you can succeed regardless of your background. But possibly the most impressive and touching point this programme highlights is that in these places, the people who run charities, drop-in centres or homeless shelters are struggling themselves. A couple in one episode had quite well-paid jobs but gave them up when their child became ill and began running a centre for children with disabilities, putting themselves under financial strain to help others. There is a myth that the poorest people are the most generous and rich people are rich because they never put their hand in their pocket, this programme not only emphasises the first part of that saying but smashes the second part to bits. Sometimes you have to see things first hand to realise just how dire a situation is.

An Ideal Husband ★★★★✩ (1999, Channel 4, 1.35pm. Dir Oliver Parker) Rupert Everett, Minnie Driver, Cate Blanchett and Julianne Moore star in this take on this Oscar Wilde classic. With the obligatory snappy dialogue and high style over substance characters, ethics and confusion becoming close pals and the threat of scandal, it has all the hallmarks of a delightful Wilde yarn.

THURSDAY 9

Deliverance ★★★★★ (1972, ITV1, 11.35pm. Dir John Boorman The daddy of all country bumpkin paranoia films, spawning the likes of The Hills Have Eyes and Hostel with the idea that in the middle of nowhere no-one can save you from the locals. Starring Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty and a couple of darn handy banjos. Not for the faint of heart though.

FRIDAY 10

Wedding Crashers ★★★★✩ (2005, Channel 4, 10pm. Dir David Dobkin) Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn are the ne’er do wells who regularly take advantage of the joie de vivre at random weddings to pull the ladies in this brash comedy. Targeting the biggest social event of the year, the pair turn up and manage to entangle themselves further into the family occasion than either could’ve imagined.

In Bruges ★★★★★ (2008, Sky Movies Indie, 10pm. Dir Martin McDonagh) Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson are a couple of hit men sent to Bruges together to ‘lie low’ after young Farrell botched a job. Part character comedy part crime thriller, this is a delightful low budget quirky British film that leaves you wanting to catch the next plane over to the idyllic-looking Belgian town of the title.

SATURDAY 11

Persepolis ★★★★✩ (2007, Channel 4, 11pm. Dir Vincent Paronnaud)

Extraordinary animated feature based on Marjane Satrapi’s graphic novel about her life in Iran, before and after the country’s revolution in 1979, and Europe. After being sent to Vienna by her parents to study, she discovers politics, drugs and sex, but also a feeling of dislocation caused by the attitudes of those around her. She returns to her homeland to find that much has changed, but not for the better.

SUNDAY 12

Blow ★★★★✩ (2001, Channel 4, 10.50pm. Dir Ted Demme) Starring Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Franka Potente, Rachel Griffiths and Ray Liotta. Drug smuggling drama about the first man to discover the profit in running cocaine from Colombia into America. Based on the life of George Jung, the Californian stumbles into selling drugs as a young man to help his struggling family make ends meet. But the dangers of his chosen occupation eventually catch up with him.

MONDAY 13

Get Carter ★★★★★ (1971, Five, 11.05pm. Dir Mike Hodges) Starring Michael Caine. Hard-hitting British thriller about a London villain who makes the journey north to avenge the death of his brother. Using ruthless methods, Jack Carter unearths the sordid conspiracy – involving drugs, gambling and porn. In 1999, Get Carter was ranked 16th on the BFI Top 100 British films of the 20th century. It’s darn good.

Agatha Christie’s Marple ITV3, 8pm With all the scary violence of the current age on the telly tonight it’s good to hark back to the violence of bygone times, when there were always tea and crumpets by the fire and one’s old housemaid would invite one to her wedding. As is the case for Miss Marple tonight, when she discovers a house full of secrets.

wednesday 8 The Apprentice BBC1, 9pm Week three and self-righteous departures have gone as expected and we’ve started to work out who might be the key characters in the mega job interview. This week the gangs have to devise an original piece of portable gym equipment, a poster to go with it and a pitch to industry experts. Ow, ahoy.

Grand Designs Channel 4, 9pm It’s a couple from Brighton! We love it when local development gets the microscope treatment, especially when the imagination has just gone more wild than Russell Brand’s hair. Barry and Julie Surtees are building a four storey mansion with a gym, an artist’s studio, fantasy bedroom and Japanese roof garden. Bliss.

The Inbetweeners E4, 10.40pm E4’s teen sitcom that isn’t Skins returns for a second series with the new term kicking off as it means to go on – with trepidation regarding the infamous sociology and geography field trip to Swanage. Plus, a new girl has joined the school and lovely Will has taken a right old shine to her. Can these two events mesh well?

sunday 12 Messiah: The South Bank Show ITV, 10.40pm A film which takes a fresh look at Handel’s great oratorio through the performances of three very different choirs in Yorkshire – the Huddersfield Choral Society, Keighley Vocal Union and the gay and lesbian choir The Sacred Wing from Leeds. Rousing and very ‘Easter Sunday’ stuff.

Mamma Mia: Where Did It All Go Right? Channel 5, 10pm Light-hearted documentary examining the success of Mamma Mia, the film and stage production. The programme explores how the three women behind the film battled the might of Hollywood to make their dream a reality. Apparently a lot of booze was involved. Fantastic.

Performance: Suddenly Last Summer BBC4, 10pm 1990s remake of Tennessee Williams’s play about a Southern matriarch who wants a neurosurgeon to perform a lobotomy on her supposedly-mad niece, featuring the late Natasha Richardson, Rob Lowe and Maggie Smith. This is seen as the definitive interpretation.
