e visited the open houses back in May, and now it’s time to visit some spectacular open gardens this month. The Garden Gadabout is here, with over 70 gardens welcoming visitors, raising funds for The Sussex Beacon. Pick up a guide – but hurry, as it’s only on for the next two Sundays. Read more in our special cover story (p11). It’s only the start of July and hopefully there’s a lot more sunny days of summer still to come. As temperatures near that of holiday destinations abroad I take a look at staying safe in the sun in our regular health column (p13). If you’re looking for a music festival fix between the bigger name festivals across the UK, there’s plenty happening right on your doorstep. In Music News (p22) Jeff Hemmings previews the Down Home Festival happening this weekend. Find all the essential gigs to go to in our listings this week, including the Loop Festival, which is taking place across a number of city venues. Brighton Carnival is on this weekend. Staff writer Ralph Miller previews the events in store (p21). Festivities wrap up with the Brighton Carnival Official After Party at the Concorde 2. For this and other nights out, turn to our club listings (p25). If you’re overwhelmed by all the nights on offer, Jaime Pettit previews the best of what’s in store for the week ahead. In other events, The Space comes to Latest Music Bar. The night features guest speakers from the media industry. Ahead of her appearance this Tuesday 7 July, Heather Jones talks about working for entertainment giant MTV among other networks (p21).

CITY SPEAK 05
Seann
Seann Walsh tried to be a vegetarian, but failed Photo by Woodsy from SXC.hu
egetarianism, unfortunately, makes sense. Without meat, all our nutritional needs can be satisfied, with a minimalised infliction of harm on things that run around in fields. There is widespread belief in animal rights. You’d be confused if someone who was about to kill and eat you said you had rights. It’s a dubious right at best. If we can reduce harm and distress (not to mention death) on other species and still survive comfortably, it follows that we may as well go veggie. It’s a strong argument. However, it falls down to a considerably weaker one: we cherish convenience and custom over reason. Oh, and meat tastes too nice. Far too nice. I’ve tried vegetarianism. It’s repetitive. Monday was pasta. Tuesday was pasta again. On Wednesday I tried (disastrously) to make vegetable curry. Thursday, pasta. By Friday, I was an ex-vegetarian. It’s a shame. My reasons for trying it out were purely ethical: suddenly, I felt uncomfortable with meat. I didn’t see steak; I saw dead cows. When I looked at chicken curry, my mind created scenes of mass slaughter in some kind of chicken Auschwitz.
V
Will hen my half-sister called me up out of the blue, two thoughts immediately crossed my mind. The first is that it wasn’t Christmas or my birthday. The second, corresponding thought was that my dad must be dead. Hang on though. If the worst really had happened, wouldn’t it have been my stepmother ringing to break the news? Unless… unless they’d both been killed in some horrific accident. Admittedly this seems unlikely given the sedentary pace of their lifestyle in Devon, where they were last seen painting and decorating cottages. I suppose my dad could have fallen off a set of ladders on top of her. All this conjecture, you understand, I managed to shoehorn into the two-second gap between me saying “Hello”, and my half-sister shouting “You’re going to be an uncle!” In retrospect, I think I prefer my version. “Darling, isn’t it wonderful news?” This was my stepmum, alive and ladder-free. “Yes,” I winced down the phone, and then: “An uncle. Wow.” I wondered if I’d be more excited if I was closer to my halfsister. Not to know her favourite flavour of ice-cream or anything; her age would be a

“When I looked at chicken curry, my mind created scenes of mass slaughter in some kind of chicken Auschwitz”
I didn’t see meat anymore; I saw death. This doesn't happen with vegetables. My conscience isn’t creative enough to twinge at the possibility of families of carrots mourning their dead. The sad truth, though, is that I became bored. Of course, it’s fair to lay some of the blame on my inability to cook. But my idea of a meal is, roughly speaking, meat and veg. That is to say, a nice bit of meat, some sauce, and some vegetables on the side. They are ingrained in our minds as a side dish. It takes some culinary invention to turn a side dish into anything more than that. Too often in my kitchen I would look at a bag full of green things and think to myself, “I don’t know what to do with that.” So I abandoned ethics in favour of convenience. Most people don’t even suffer the burden of meat-guilt. They will simply say, as I do now, “I've always eaten meat and it tastes too good.” This ready-made, standard-issue carnivore’s argument turns ethics into an elephant in the room, eats the elephant, and still doesn’t mention it. So there you go. I lose the moral argument, but in this case moral defeat tastes good. I’ll take mine medium-rare.
Will Harris is less than excited about his impending status as an uncle “I’m a gay man; we don’t get worked-up about babies (unless they’re our own, or Angelina Jolie’s)”
start. I don’t even know who she’s having this baby with. Stop shouting at me! It isn’t my fault. I’m a gay man; we don’t get worked-up about babies (unless they’re our own, or Angelina Jolie’s). If you want someone to get excited about a baby, go to a woman. They’re programmed from birth to lose control of their mental faculties if they even glimpse a shoe that’s smaller than a size two. It’s dolls that are to blame. From the first time they get their graspers on one, women are hooked (yes, I had dolls too, but at least I had the foresight to model their personalities on the cast of Dynasty). Miniature people are like crack to them. Why do you think Snow White fell in with the dwarves? “A little baby!” cry my (female) coworkers, true to form. “You’re going to be an uncle! Uncle Will!” “She’s not married you know,” I sniff, like the landlady of a guesthouse in a Northern seaside town. But the damage has been done. I’m moving up the family lines, one step closer to the turnstile. I am going to be somebody’s Uncle Will and there’s nothing I can do about it. www.twitter.com/william_tells

DEFINITELY DANI 07
Dani very day, every one of us will receive some form of spam, whether it be through email or leaflets, phone calls or even text messages. Does anyone actually get any business from sending out all this junk? If anyone in the world wanted to buy Viagra (or something similar) surely they wouldn’t do it via a spam email, would they? At least email providers attempt to separate spam mail from your wanted messages, yet it still appears acceptable to get phoned in the evening and be asked a series of questions about your house, insurance policy, gas, electricity, water provider, credit card, boiler or double glazing. Is there a decent way in which you can ask these callers to hang up and not call again? Because just simply saying you are not interested doesn’t seem to cut it. Why, even if you listen to their spiel and then politely point out that you are not interested, do they then start to try and convince you that you

must be? It always feels to me as if this is an accepted form of begging. The poor people who have to sit in the office at seven in the evening, disturbing your dinner in the hope that they will make just one sale, probably wouldn’t choose this kind of work. No one likes receiving cold calls so who would actually want to make them? But, a job is a job. No one likes having to get angry at the people who are phoning, but in the end, you can’t help it because they just won’t take no for an answer. Just like the people that own that takeaway in your area. Week one: post flyers. Week two: no one showed up, meaning all the flyers must have been lost. Week three: re-post flyers – and so it goes, on and on. Even your mobile isn’t safe. You get a text message – oooh, who’s it from? Disappointment is followed by annoyance. And if you are at home during the day it’s likely there will have been a
Digging a hole Is it just me or does it seem as if you can’t leave your front door without coming across some kind of road works? It would be wonderful if they were actually improving things, but it always appears to me as if the same place is being done over and over again, always during the height of the summer or Christmas. Then it seems that once everything is back to normal it’s only a couple of weeks before the roads are dug up again!

number of different utility suppliers trying to convince you to switch to them. Why is this still allowed? A majority of the flyers will end up in the recycling box, the emails offering everything strange and sexual are, on the whole, ignored, and the callers on the phone get an earful instead of their commission. Is it overstepping the mark when people make you feel uncomfortable in your own home? Surely your right to personal privacy means that once you step into your house, off the advertising-strewn streets, you shouldn’t then have to sift through your email and post to fish out what is actually wanted and then let your dinner get cold because you are too polite to just hang up?

ARIES (MAR 21–APR 20)
CANCER (JUNE 22–JULY 22)
LIBRA (SEP 23–OCT 22)
CAPRICORN (DEC 21–JAN 19).
This week Aries should avoid the following: fatty foods, tequila, the number seven, pavement cracks, Morris dancing, sharp objects, foreign currency and lists.
Cancerians are tougher on the whole but she still be wary of a few things. I would suggest putting distance between yourself and mayonnaise at all times this week.
Librans will surround themselves with a warm sense of security but it will have no strength when it comes to swine flu. Avoid bacon, sausages and all pig related products.
Capricorns are pretty safe if they stick to three simple rules: 1: No chatting to strange men. 2: No accepting sweeties from strangers. 3: Never accept a lift from a myopic grandparent.
TAURUS (APR 21–MAY 21)
LEO (JULY 23–AUG 22)
SCORPIO (OCT 23–NOV 21)
AQUARIUS (JAN 20–FEB 19)
Taureans are equally vulnerable and should steer clear of small children, especially boys under the age of six months, automatically opening umbrellas and sugared almonds.
Leos also have the ability to look after themselves pretty well. Preparing for the worst however, could pay off. Never leave the house without a paca-mac and a rainmate.
Scorpios should be on the lookout for some substantial protective clothing this week. I don’t know what you have been doing but I suggest that you buy a stab jacket.
Aquarians should avoid mushrooms. Mushrooms whilst on one level being an innocent ingredient can also be used for other purposes. I believe vegetarians use them.
GEMINI (MAY 22–JUNE 21)
VIRGO (AUG 23–SEP 22)
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22–DEC 20)
PISCES (FEB 20–MAR 20)
Gemini’s are never made of the sturdiest stuff and should avoid synthetic fabrics, biological washing powders, the works of George Bernard Shaw and tofu.
Virgo men should avoid women in red, and men in basques – and we should all avoid them. Virgo women should avoid men with pencil moustaches, and trilbys with feathers.
Sagis should avoid any form of excitement which could lead to unnecessary distress and even damp patches. In fact, hide this away from them now.
Pisceans should avoid reading other horoscopes. Only Astral Angi knows what lies in store. Now relax and get yourself over to Bardsley’s for a nice fish supper.

News Phil Mills on an Iranian protest in Hove and why animals in Alfriston have a taste for ice lollies
Freedom demo H
undreds of Iranians living in Brighton and Hove are continuing protests against the ruling power in their country and are promising: “We won’t stop until we win freedom.” More than 300 took part in a rally outside Hove Town Hall, where many had cast their votes in the recent national elections. Banners asked the question “Where was my vote?” and demanded “Election, not selection” in what was one of the largest demonstrations by a minority community seen in the city in years. There are upwards of 2,000 Iranians living locally and Masoud Jaadi, 50-yearold spokesman for the protesters, said the vast majority were demanding a stop to the killings in Iran and “new and free” elections. Seventeen people reportedly have died in the capital Tehran and while street protests have been suppressed Mr Jaadi said the movement for change was growing by the day. Mothers and young children joined the Hove protesters and many wore green, a colour from the Iranian national flag and one that now symbolises support for
the opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi. Pardis Rad, a 24-yearold student, said: “We need another election, not a recounting of votes.” Sam, a businessman in Brighton for 25 years, carried a poster showing Hitler and Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad dressed as his bride. He said: “They are blocking the news from Iran but I am keeping up with events through BBC Persia and through the internet. Every day people are dying on the streets and we need new elections to stop the killings. “The opposition is getting bigger and bigger all the time and we will have more rallies like this.” Sam, who declined to give his surname for fear of reprisals against his family in Iran, added: “This will continue until we win free and fair elections.”
Chill out at the zoo Iced lollies and suntan cream were used to help Sussex zoo animals cope with the recent heatwave. Keepers at Drusillas at Alfriston were out to ensure the ‘residents’ remained cool and stocked freezers with giant lollipops, made from frozen fruit. These proved favourites with racoons and squirrel monkeys, not only by keeping animals cool but by encouraging them to work a little harder for their food as they would in the wild. In the zoo’s farmyard, kune kune pigs Rusty Porker and Peppa needed protection from the sun’s rays and were regularly coated in high-factor sun cream. Humboldt penguins were showered with water to keep them cool. Normally found off the west coast of South America, in Peru and northern Chile, they are able to live in this region due to the chilling effect of the icy Humboldt Current, which they take their name from. At this time of year many of them are moulting, leaving their skin exposed to the sun.
Travel Brighton and Hove City Council leader Mary Mears plans a new Core Strategy for local transport Transport is one of the biggest challenges facing our city over the next few years and I am determined to make it easier, safer and cleaner for people to get around in Brighton and Hove, whether by car, bus, bicycle or on foot. Last week, we launched a public consultation on our planning blueprint for the city – the Core Strategy – which, amongst other things, includes our proposals for setting up a number of park and ride sites near or adjacent to strategic road corridors approaching the city.
“I believe that a park and ride system is vital” These include the Old Shoreham Road, the A259 coast road, A23 London Road and the Lewes Road. I believe that an effective park and ride system is vital for the continued prosperity of a city of our size and so I would encourage everyone to get involved in the consultation so that together we
can identify the best possible sites for visitors and residents alike. To contribute please visit: www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/ldf I am also delighted to report that we are hoping to complete the installation of a network of electric vehicle charging points
across the city by early 2010. These have been successfully tried in London and I’m really excited that we are now able to help Brighton and Hove’s residents benefit from this environmentallyfriendly technology.

COVER FEATURE 11
English country gardens Over 70 of Brighton’s beautiful private gardens open to the public this July in aid of The Sussex Beacon righton’s largest open garden scheme, The Garden Gadabout, takes place on the Sundays of July 12 and 19. Featuring over 70 gardens across Brighton and the surrounding areas, and with Carol Klein of Gardeners’ World as their patron, The Garden Gadabout has become Brighton’s festival of gardens; a major community calendar event. The gardens are divided into 16 trails designed to be easy to walk around, and all are featured in the Gadabout guide.
complete, many gardens have on sale a delicious array of homemade lunches, cakes and teas to enjoy in beautiful surroundings, as well as plant and seed sales and exhibitions of art. All proceeds go to The Sussex Beacon. This event is not just about visiting some beautiful gardens; the Garden Gadabout is one of The Sussex Beacon‘s largest fundraising events, last year raising over £16,000. With your help they hope to beat that total this year.

Why not make a day of it? Visit an array of beautiful, inspiring and unique private gardens, as well as helping to raise essential funds for The Sussex Beacon. Or just pop along to some of your own local ‘Gadabout‘ gardens and see what some of your neighbours have created with their space. This year‘s Garden Gadabout really reflects just how much you can do with your plot – a real celebration of diversity and creativity. Part of the Fiveways trail is 71 Florence Road, where you’ll find a wonderful example of how to
convert a small space into a vegetable garden via raised beds. At 22 Arundel Place in Kemp Town, you’ll discover a beautiful town garden with a contemporary garden room, luscious planting, a dry gravel garden, a sunny courtyard and a vegetable patch. Plus, a chance to buy plants propagated by the owners and students from Plumpton College. On the Hove trail at 31 Tongdean Avenue, an established garden on a gently sloping site offers a chance to soak up the beauty of a plethora of rare and unusual trees. Here you will be able to enjoy refreshments amongst the beauty of ferns, mixed shrub and herbaceous borders alongside pots bursting with summer colour. This year there is so much to explore and enjoy, from the atmospheric beauty of Monks House to a garden planted with dustbins! And to make the day

About the Sussex Beacon Set in beautiful tranquil surroundings overlooking the South Downs, and with a lovingly cared for and landscaped garden, the Sussex Beacon is the only purpose-built care centre for men and women living with HIV in the county. One of only two care centres of its kind in England, The Sussex Beacon has been at the forefront of HIV care since 1992. No longer simply a hospice, they provide a range of services and care via a ten bed residential unit, day care and health management services. They offer support for help with antiretroviral therapies, medical convalescence, monitoring and maintenance of health, respite care, palliative and terminal care. Today there is still no cure or vaccine for HIV, so there is a very real need for the Beacon. HIV is now the fastest growing serious health condition in the UK. Their garden is open for one Sunday, on July 19, and is a beautiful spot to sit in the sunshine and relax over a restorative cuppa, or to pick up a bargain from one of the stalls.

HEALTH 13
Sun safe
Stay safe and healthy this summer at home and abroad, writes Zara Baker n the summer months, we can inevitably let our guard down when it comes to health and safety. This is most certainly the case when holidaying abroad as sunbathing or drinking copious amounts of alcohol becomes the norm for your fortnight away. With the gorgeous weather we’ve been enjoying at home, it’s more important than ever to apply the same rules in the UK.
I
Protect with SPF A deep golden tan may be craved for but sunbathing without SPF protection in the height of the day is not the way to go about it. This increases the risk of skin cancer later on in life and it’s downright uncomfortable to live with sunburn in the present. Plus, blisters and peeling skin is not a good look. Wear sun cream or moisturiser with an SPF of 15 or above, even on cloudy days as the sun’s rays still penetrate. Reapply cream throughout the day, especially if you’re going in water. Stay out of the sun’s direct rays at lunchtime when it’s at its hottest. Wear a hat or sit under a parasol if you’re spending the day outside.
Drink plenty (of water) Keep glugging the clear stuff, whether you’re active in the sun, walking or playing sports, or just relaxing on a deck chair. Sun exposure and high temperatures can cause heat exhaustion and even heat stroke. If you feel dizzy or have a headache that won’t shift, your body needs to cool down. Use this as the sign to swap the sun for an air-conditioned room and drink plenty of fluids. When holidaying abroad, locate the nearest supermarket and stock up on plenty of fresh water. The excitement of being away and rushing around to fit in all the sights can mean you ignore symptoms of heat exhaustion.
Enjoy cooked food Enjoy al fresco dining, barbecue parties and seaside restaurants – it’s a highlight of the summer months – but beware of undercooked food. Barbecues are the most likely suspects, with charred bangers on the outside, yet raw pink meat inside. In restaurants abroad, chicken or fish can cause tummy upsets that can last for days, spoiling the rest of the trip. Make careful choices over eating; is it a help-yourself buffet? How long has the food been laid out?
Keep it personal In the midst of relaxation, it’s hard to imagine unpleasant scenarios like theft. Don’t let your guard down and protect personal items and family members at all times. Leave someone keeping an eye on belongings while the others go for a swim. But remember, fast asleep does not count as ‘watching’!

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD & DRINK 15
Food & drink Andrew Kay is happy as Larry at 9 Bar andrew@thelatest.co.uk
Raise the bar I
n deepest Hove the streets are not so much lined with gold as lined with restaurants. Hugger mugger they dominate much of Church Road and amongst them there are some real gems. But it does beg the question, why one more? I felt I should ask this of 9 Bar, a newcomer, but after an early dinner they had more than adequately answered the question. 9 Bar is a good concept, brilliantly executed. By day the place is very much run on café lines, with great coffees and soft drinks, cakes and lighter food. In the evening it takes on a different role and offers a menu of excellent food that quite simply blew me away. I guess the word café had lowered my expectations but I was oh so wrong. The look is stylish and modern with few surprises, but it is spotlessly clean which always impresses. Over the years you automatically apply the skirting board and light switch check and they passed with full marks. On to the food. I had no idea what to expect but when the menu arrived I was spoilt for choice – there were so many dishes that I wanted to try. Mr R was similarly placed but soon settled on calamari. It arrived on a huge roof slate and was crisp, brilliantly seasoned with the promised salt and chili and generously proportioned. The soy dressing and seared lime added an extra zing and a crunchy salad finished the dish. Slightly less hungry, I chose local asparagus, eating it while I could, served with a fried duck egg. Good idea, I thought, and when I saw that the duck egg had been poached, breadcrumbed and fried, I changed that to brilliant. The top was cut off and the runny yolk had been seasoned with a little butter and vinegar. Simply splendid stuff. Mr R moved on to a plate of confit duck which came with perfect mash and showstopping carrots as well as broad beans and spinach. It silenced the man for a while, quite a feat in itself. And hooray for great carrots. I chose the Sussex lamb shoulder, which was slow braised and excellently trimmed and tender. But it was the sorrel faggot that attracted me and it was that faggot that won the day. I love faggots when they are good and this was sublime, perfect seasoning, texture – what more could a man ask for? Well I was tempted to ask for more. My vegetables were squeaky spring greens, superb chicory and a gratin dauphinoise of excellent pedigree. Full to bustin’, I still cleared my plate.
“What more could a man ask for? Well I was tempted to ask for more”
Sadly that left little room for dessert, with Mr R only managing some ice-cream. I chose what was listed as a Pavlova. The owner dashed over and asked if I were able to settle a dispute. He was of the opinion that it was a Pavlova, the rest of the team thought it a roulade. I came down on the side of roulade, and a very good roulade too, but not a Pavlova as I know it. We each drank one glass of an appropriate wine and had a good coffee despite being full to almost beyond comfortable. 9 Bar may well think it is a café by day or a bar even but with a chef as accomplished as this, by night it is a restaurant of note and I urge you to get down there pretty damn fast. I certainly intend to go along and see what is on the next menu. And I hope there will be faggots for dinner again. 9 Bar Café, 118 Church Road, Hove, 01273 721838, www.9bar.co.uk

Their superbly executed amalgam of Rage Against The Machine style funk, rock, ska, country, speed metal, hip-hop and good old fashioned rock gave us all a smile as we appreciated their great musicianship, nutty stage presence and utter lack of respect for musical conventions.

Cutting The Cord by Flying Eye Thursday night treated an intimate audience to a promenade style performance of Cutting The Cord. Hosted at Brighton’s edgy performance venue, The Basement, this magical 45-minute piece, written and devised by Flying Eye and Daniel Clark, made us feel like the lucky few to catch a glimpse of a mini masterpiece in development. The play, themed around the question of what it is to belong, told a tale of a young girl moving from Tokyo to London. Sachi Kimura’s charming monologues, the live score, ingenious set design and the clever interjections of David Attenborough voiceovers, created an experience that was humorous and touching, at the same time as being highly creative and delightfully understated.

★★★★✩ Oklahoma Rodgers and Hammerstein were not shy of tackling tough material but over the years producers and directors have softened the blow, often turning it into a ginghamwrapped romp. I am glad that CFT have given us a tough new production that is as bitter as it is sweet. A stunningly bare stage of sculpted timber backed by two dramatic sweeps of cloth leave space for your imagination to reign. The cast, an ensemble of talent, give it their all. The choreography is modern but elegant, the singing precise and the leads have the talent to play the roles for the drama as well as for the songs. TV’s Natalie Casey more than proves her worth with a portrayal of Ado Annie that hovered between innocence and slutty. Oklahoma is an emotional white knuckle ride that uses bathos brilliantly.
Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds This bizarre musical adaptation of HG Wells’ famous novel is now in its 30th anniversary tour. With a full orchestra and a giant screen showing the Martians on their conquest of earth, this is certainly not your usual stage show. Jennifer Ellison of Brookside fame stars alongside Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues for the sung elements of the performance, while the most surreal aspect is the narrating talking head of Richard Burton, who died in 1984. This was a very weird but also rather fun show.

20 STAND-UP COMEDY | ART
A laughing matter Victoria Nangle on the fine art of promoting a new comedy night in your area
he fine art of gig promoting can be as easy or as complex as you like. But generally speaking, if you leave it too simple in these current belt-tightening times you‘re more likely to end up with an audience of one man and his dog. And they probably only wandered in to get out of the rain. Once the acts are booked, the venue’s reserved, the compere has the date earmarked, you know what’s happening with your tech equipment and that someone’s working the door to collect the money you hope to raise from this endeavour, it’s time to sort out getting the people in. The paraphrase ‘if you book them, they will come’ is no longer as true as it once was. We are lucky to have so many things on offer to entertain our easily bored brains, so in putting on a night you really need to let people know about it. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford sky-writing. One of the simplest and cheapest way these days to let the world know you’ve got a comedy extravagenza that anyone would be a fool to miss coming up is to put an announcement up on Facebook. After that you send out a message to everyone invited to your new group – some people get far too many invites to actually pay any attention to, so a message gets their attention good and proper. And then it’s down to the more traditional forms of promotion. Posters are designed, flyers handed out, friends called and asked to invite their friends. It’s the difference between packing the place out and simply having the comics and their other halves/person who gave them a lift to the venue sitting in the front row, trying to make more noise to compensate for the empty seats behind them. It’s worth having a look at what makes you different from all of the other nights that are on out there already, too. There’s no point putting on a new act night when there’s one already going on in the pub four doors down. Check what else is on in your area, and make sure what you’re offering is different. Gazumping someone else’s punters will never make for a popular business plan. And finally, enjoy yourself. Comedy’s supposed to be fun after all.

Here and now Sculpture Object Action Revolution: a Joseph Beuys exhibition German artist Joseph Beuys (1921–86) is widely recognised as one of the most influential and extraordinary artists of the twentieth century. Artist, educator, political and social activist, Beuys’s philosophy proposed the healing power and social function of art, in which everyone can participate and benefit. Collectively, the exhibition presents the ‘constellation of ideas’ central to Beuys’s practice, revealing his ideas on zoology, ecology, homeopathy, economics, politics, social activism,

MTV is synonymous with modern youth-oriented entertainment. Furthermore, if one factors in its Paramount Comedy and Nickelodeon brands there are few areas of the TV entertainment market that the former ‘Music Television’ doesn’t have a stake in. Heather Jones – ‘Executive Vice President UK and Ireland, Content and Creative, Music and Comedy’ (her impressively expansive job title) talks about life working in TV entertainment.

What does an ‘Executive Vice President…’ do, exactly? I head up ten music channels – the VH1, TMF and MTV branded channels – and four Comedy Central channels across the UK and Ireland, and also Australia and New Zealand; the managing directors report to me. I also have a remit to do all programme buying: that’s pan-territory, for the whole of the world. At any one time there are always one or two key titles or franchises that we’re focusing on – I tend to focus on the long-term planning. So how hands on are you? Do you choose the shows, the artists? I drive a lot of that stuff. I’ve just come back from LA where all the big broadcasters meet once a year to bid for the shows that will launch in September. All the big shows – Lost, Desperate Housewives, 24... I’m hands on in the sense that I lead editorial decisions on the ‘big stories’, the big new shows. Did you come into the industry as a fan of music or was it purely a career decision? I love music: I’m more into jazz and I teach piano, but I’m not any kind of expert on pop music. There are a lot of people who come and work for MTV because they’re obsessed with a certain genre. They’re the experts who know what people are into. In a nutshell what would you say is the secret to MTV’s longevity? I feel saying we’re a bit like Madonna, I’m trying to think of a better analogy. MTV has been very clever at adapting itself and making sure it’s talking to its target audience of the day. We now shoot in HD because one of the things about music is that it really ties with the HD format. Watching something like Big Brother in HD is neither here nor there but watching a live music concert shot in HD just looks sensational. Heather Jones joins Nick Gatfield of EMI at the next SPACE event (Southern Performance and Creative Energies) at Latest Music Bar, Manchester Street, Brighton, Tuesday 7 July, 7.30pm, £6/4. www.thespace.me.uk

Country blues The Down Home Festival debuts this weekend, Jeff Hemmings reports hile some of the larger festivals groan under the double whammy of saturation and the credit crunch, there continues to be a flourishing of smaller, more manageable affairs that aren’t gonna cost the promoter his shirt nor his dignity! Down Home (The Down Home Blues and Country Festival to give its full name) is one of these affairs, nestled in the Sussex countryside and catering for 500 punters. “It was something I wanted to do for a long time and I didn’t feel that anyone had combined country and blues on the more alternative end. So, I thought it was a nice idea to do a niche festival with a little more variety, rather than just one type of music,“ says organiser Mike Powell. Brighton seems to be a particular musical hotspot for all things Americana. “There’s something in the water down here, bands like Mountain Firework Company, The Drookit Dogs, Sweet Sweet Lies, Barker band, Urban Voodoo Machine, Hey Negrita and Mudlow are just a few who are playing the festival and are based in Brighton.”

Based at an actual working farm in the little hamlet of Coombes (near Lancing College), one of the stages will be in a barn and the festival will be host to the Leftfield Stage, a stalwart of the Glastonbury Festival for many years. “It started as a drunken dare in a pub after meaning to do it for the last three years so I booked the farm and the whole thing has unravelled organically. I’ve worked at the same farm at the annual Glastonwick Festival so it was already licensed and so I could concentrate on other things like booking the bands. “I’ll be running around, using the quad bike and keeping fit over the three days, but the focus of the site is small and both stages are covered, so the mud won’t be much of an issue!” Like all good festivals though there’s more than just music… “They’ll be family friendly camping facilities, there’s storytellers, face painters and tractor rides – the owners of the farm will be taking rides up on The Downs which will be a lot of fun!” Down Home Festival, 10–12 July. Full weekend (with camping) and day tickets are available. Free for children under 12. www.downhomefestival.co.uk

Why? Pop-inflected psychedelic folk-hop from one of the greatest acts of the 21st century. While their name implies a constant search for meaning within the tiniest fragments of information their music is far from dour meditations on life and the universe. Originally set up by Yoni as a one-man band project, Why? has morphed into a huge creative force that keeps on producing records of outstanding quality and creativity. Live they ain’t bad too… Tuesday 7 July, Audio
Emiliana Torrini
The Bellrays Led by the towering presence of Afro-beheaded and Shaft extra Lisa Kekaula, this American four-piece pack a huge and dynamic punch live. Soul rock and punk fuse with passion, a bit like a rockier Tina Turner. Wednesday 8 July, Engine Room Freakpower Back in the 90s this lot had a big hit with ‘Turn On, Tune In, Cop Out.’ Norman Cook went on to be Fatboy Slim and forego live music pretty much since. Ashley Slater meanwhile has been scrabbling around on the fringes, working his trombone and his music in all sorts of settings, including the very occasional Freakpower foray. His star certainly seems to be in the ascendancy (he made a recent appearances on the new Dub Pistols album) but whatever Freakpower format this will be in unclear at moment! Also on the bill are three BIMM acts; Harriet Snooks, The Die Vibes and The Slytones. Friday 10 July, Concorde 2 Fujiya & Miyagi at Loop Festival Don’t be decieved by the name. Fugiya & Miyagi are not two Japanese musicians, but a Brightonbased four piece electronic band. Their hometown set is likely to be one of the

highlights of Loop Festival’s closing Sunday evening. They’re on at the Corn Exchange from 5pm. The festival runs all weekend across Victoria Gardens, the Corn Exchange and the Pavilion Theatre. Other acts performing include the multi-talented Squarepusher, electronic folksters Tunng, the Mercury nomitated Portico Quartet and Icelandic/Italian songstress Emiliana Torrini. Saturday 12–Sunday 13 July, Corn Exchange, Pavilion Theatre & Victoria Gardens The Impellers Starting life as Ed Meme & The Forms, a name change to something far easier to pronounce came about when offered a deal by prolific UK label Freestyle Records in 2008. The Impellers are bringing a heavy, authentic funk sound both live and in the studio, and they have their debut album out later in the month. In the meantime savour their vintage funk stylings with a full band. Sunday 12 July, Latest Music Bar

24 MUSIC REVIEWS | CHART
REVIEWS A weekly review of local and national releases onky pop is a sometimes welcome genre, reflecting the essentially quirky and offbeat nature of much of today’s indie. Dan Black is a case in point; an eclectic and sonic bag of allsorts; indie, folk, electro, dance, hip-hop and more. Album Un is where MGMT meets Noah & The Whale via Hot Chip. You can tell this is the project of one man and his studio, the cut ’n’ paste aesthetic stands out a mile and for that reason it will probably end up as another interesting and clever also-ran – the album also fades badly after a good first half. With a proper band Dan Black may go further. Led by Scott McCaughey, Minus 5 are an underground supergroup of sorts, featuring members of M Ward, Richmond Fontaine, Mendoza Line, and The Decemberists, as well as REM’s Peter Buck. Killingsworth is an outstanding work with all songs written by McCaughey. This ain’t pofaced purist nonsense, just an exercise in how to craft a seamless work that doesn’t take itself too seriously and yet remains on the right side of irreverent. McCaughey’s George Harrisonesque voice only adds to the quality. The Canadian Native Indian Buffy Sainte-Marie is back with her first new album in 17 years (and only her second in the last 33 years!), Running For The Drum, and it’s a reminder of what a talented songwriter she is. Having made most of her music between the early 60s and mid-70s she has largely immersed herself in the arts and education, but this has only added to the elegant richness on offer here; her distinct, raw jazzy-folk style is interspersed with some very energetic workouts. Vocally reminiscent of Marianne Faithful, Sainte-Marie’s forceful politics are still in place; a lifelong campaigner for Aboriginal rights and the anti-war movement she was actually blacklisted during most of the 60s. It’s a pleasure to hear her music again. Brighton’s The Dials are a glorious technicolour explosion of country-rock, psychedelia and English pop. Their new single ‘Watch Her Walk Away’ is a Farfisa-led 60s psychedelic beat groove circa 1967 and is taken from their second album Companions of The Rosy Hours. Championed by the likes of Mark Lamarr and Bob Harris, The Dials will be performing at the Down Home Festival this weekend. Meanwhile ex-Pipette Rose Elinor Dougall (granddaughter of 60s/70s BBC newsreader Robert Dougall, fact fans) releases new single ‘Start/Stop/Synchr,’ an infectious slice of 60s meets the 80s influenced pop but with a slightly dark twist courtesy of Brighton producer Lee Baker. Sparse, beautifully sung and a world away from the novelty of her previous band.

The much-loved Pride fundraising comedy show will return this month. Nicky Mitchell, Jaq Bayles, Stephen Richards (better known as Lola Lasagna), and Suzi Ruffell will be part of the line-up for the sixth Bright‘n‘Queer show, as well as organiser and compere Steve Bustin. The charity gig will take place at Latest Music Bar, Manchester Street, Brighton on Thursday 30 July, during the nine-day long Pride festival. There will be two performances, one at 7.30pm and then 10pm. Admission is £6 with all profits going to help stage the Pride festival and towards the community grants given out by the Pride charity.
Over the past three years, Bright‘n‘Queer has raised almost £2,500 and in 2008 was the seventh largest fundraiser for Pride. Steve said doing two shows in one night means they can raise even more money. “It’s fantastic that the comics are willing to perform twice to raise even more funds, especially as they all waive their fees for the night, meaning we can put the vast majority of the ticket money towards Pride. “It’s also the only way we can meet demand for tickets, as there’s never been an unsold ticket for Bright‘n‘Queer! This show is going to be a stormer and it’s a great way to kick off your Pride weekend with a fantastic night of some of the best LGBT comics around!“ Box office 01273 687171 www.brightnqueer.co.uk
Latest Gay looks forward to Summer Pride It is a credit crunch year – so what better way to celebrate summer than Europe’s biggest free Pride festival? Brighton and Hove Pride runs from 25 July to 2 August and the programme is out now in shops and venues and at www.brightonpride.org. The 2009 theme is Pride Beside the Seaside and among the hundreds of people on the floats will be pirates and sailors. Pride spokeswoman Judith Manson explained: “It is about coming back to Brighton and Hove and shouting about why Brighton and Hove is so special. Out of the three big Pride events in the UK, we are the only one that can have that theme.” For the first time there will be a big screen in the park showing clips of the parade. This will be in the new community area, near the members’ area, where dance groups and parade entries will perform. A five-a-side football tournament will kick off nine days of events. There will be an official Pride campsite at Waterhall, with much better facilities and closer to Preston Park than the previous camp at East Brighton Park. Campers are not able to book, but should turn up from Thursday afternoon.
“We are shouting about why Brighton and Hove is so special” Suzi Ruffell
Volunteers needed to help out at Pride The team behind the festival is looking for bucket collectors, wheel stewards, events assistants and parade health and safety checkers. As well as these roles Pride also needs volunteers who are able to commit on a longer-term basis. This includes volunteer coordinators and events runners. Young volunteers aged 16 to 25 are needed for a one-off project between May and September. Pride relies hugely on the support of volunteers and recognises that they are an enormous resource in helping the organisation meet its aims and put on a safe and enjoyable event in August. No experience is necessary for
Doing us proud
the roles as full training will be given. This is a great chance to meet new people, gain some experience and see Pride from a different angle. It is estimated that Pride will need between 150 and 200 volunteers, although most of these will be on Saturday 1 August at Preston Park and during the carnival parade. Pride really needs your help now. If you are interested in volunteering with Pride you can fill in an application form on the Pride website www.brightonpride.org or email the Pride office at office@brightonpride.org or call 01273 775939 for information or for a paper copy of the application form.
There will be official Pride merchandise for the first time, with T-shirts and caps on sale at Waterhall and around the park. Judith urged people not to buy from illegal traders: “They don’t give anything for Pride, they actually take away from Pride because if you buy from them that is money that doesn’t go behind one of the bars. The bars pay a lot of money to be at Pride.” There will be three levels of toilets; bog standard cubicles, two lots of “pound-to-pee” loos at the north end between Wild Fruit and the Women’s Performance tent, and at the south end near Calabash. The third and most luxurious set of toilets will be in the members area. It costs just £15 to join Pride or £7.50 concessions, but membership is closing this week – sign up online. Judith also encouraged people to support the charity collectors. “Please put money in the buckets out and about during the week. It is very important to us that we keep Pride free, but it is not free to put on.” Pride has previously come under fire from some quarters for being an inclusive event, attended by people from all walks of life, of all ages and of all sexualities. Judith said: “It is a celebration of LGBT lives. Some people think the gay has gone out of Pride – we do get criticised every year. The more straight people and families that go, the better really, because we are celebrating LGBT lives and breaking down any prejudice and homophobia that is still out there.” The night before the festival, there will be a garden party at Montpelier Hall. Admission is £10 and the night kicks off at 7pm.

Supersizers Eat... BBC2, Mondays 9pm love this series, and I loved the previous one – try and catch it if you can. For those of you who haven’t come across this and developed a crush on Giles Coren yet, here’s what it’s all about. Writer and comedian Sue Perkins and restaurant critic Giles Coren eat their way through different periods of time, sampling not only the food but the outfits, hobbies and interests of the era in question. While this might not sound like your ideal Monday night viewing, bear in mind that many of the past ages had no water sanitation, leaving the population with nothing to drink but ale. You will soon discover that there’s nothing funnier than a drunk Sue Perkins. Her discomfort at having to wear every form of ornate costume, none of which includes jeans or trainers, makes for amusing viewing along with Giles’s constant hope to meet a girl and his brave attempts to try everything on the dinner table regardless of how disgusting it looks, smells or tastes. I would not recommend, however, that you watch this while eating yourself, as the chances are, you will be put off by what appears on your TV screen. Being a vegetarian, I don’t necessarily enjoy watching a piglet’s rear end being sewn onto the head of a bird but it just can’t be helped. This is not in any way a cookery programme, so don’t expect to pick up some ancient recipes as I doubt anyone would actually want to eat them anyway. The strange thing is that Sue Perkins normally doesn’t eat meat – how she manages to go from vegetarian to nibbling on a sow’s udder I’ll never know but I take my hat off to her – she has balls, both figuratively speaking and on the plate in front of her. All of us have ancestors who would have eaten similar meals to these, and if anything the show makes you feel grateful to be in 2009 – although at the same time it really underlines just how much we waste and rely on the freezer. Perhaps there is more to this funny and bizarrely interesting programme than meets the eye. If you have a sense of humour, an interest in food or our history, then you may just enjoy this. Catch it while you can as this is apparently the last series they will be doing. Shame really, as Giles Coren and Sue Perkins make a great TV team.
I
Girl With A Pearl Earring ★★★★✩ (2003, BBC2 ,9pm. Dir Peter Webber) A much acclaimed biopic of the artist Vermeer’s relationship with a girl who worked in his house and the painting that came of it. Starring Colin Firth and Scarlett Johannson, you can bet both of their indie creds went up because of this film.
WEDNESDAY 8
Panic Room ★★★★✩ (2002, Five, 9pm. Dir David Fincher) As claustrophobic as Kristen Stewart’s asthma attack as Jodie Foster’s daughter. The pair take refuge in their new house’s panic room when they find themselves under siege from a trio of would-be robbers, with the stash of the previous owner’s riches apparently in the panic room too. Costars Forest Whittaker and Jared Leto.
THURSDAY 9
The Untouchables ★★★★★ (1987, Film4, 9pm. Dir Bryan De Palma) Stunning story of prohibition, with one of the most Scottish ‘Irish cops’ ever seen by celluloid, presented by Mr Sean Connery. Heading up the band of government men looking to stop the gangsters and their illegal trade in booze is Kevin Costner as Eliot Ness. With Robert De Niro taking up position as chief bootlegger Al Capone, this is a sensational historical piece.
FRIDAY 10
The Enforcer ★★★✩✩ (1976, ITV1, 10.35pm. Dir James Fargo) Dirty Harry’s back in this gritty sequel, this time unhappily joined by new partner Kate Moore, played by Tyne Daly. You know the story – they don’t get on but grudgingly build up a steady respect for each other that could, who knows, turn into friendship. Oh, and they need to stop a truckload of weapons that have fallen into very much the wrong hands. Bit brutal.
SATURDAY 11
Mamma Mia! ★★★★✩ (2008, Sky Movies 1, 1pm. Dir Phyllida Lloyd) Dunno who your dad is and getting
Fame, 9pm, Monday 13, TCM
married? Simple! Just nick your mother’s diary of the time when you were conceived, invite the three likeliest candidates and watch everyone woo each other with glee to the songs of Abba! Probably not practical but great fun was obviously had by the cast, including Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård and Julie Walters.
SUNDAY 12
Confetti ★★★✩✩ (2006, BBC2, 10pm. Dir Debbie Isitt) A mockumentary, part improvised, from some of Britain’s current comedy cream as three couples compete to win the coveted title of ‘Most Original Wedding of the Year’. Starring Martin Freeman, Jessica Hynes (was Stevenson), Stephen Mangan, Meredith MacNeill, Robert Webb and Olivia Colman (those last two both from Peep Show) the weddings get very stranger indeed. Combining British eccentricity with in-laws.
MONDAY 13 Fame ★★★★★
(1980, TCM, 9pm.Dir Alan Parker) With the remake on the horizon this autumn and more neon legwarmers in the shops than inhabited the whole of the 80s, it’s time to take a look at what inspired it all. The music, the dancing, the drama – and that was just in the cafeteria. What a talented lot of kids these are. But where are they now? Victoria Nangle

tuesday 7 Ladette To Lady ITV1, 9pm It’s the final! Yup, that time has come around so fast and my, haven’t our lovely ladies grown and developed? There are three left but only one can win and remain in England, the land of fine manners and polo. Their final task is to attend an awards ceremony and present a speech in a grand house. Lawks!
CSI: Miami Five, 9pm Just how the blazes are the CSIs supposed to carry on without their fearless leader Horatio Caine? Who will give out their card to quaking ‘at risk’ children? Who will make vengeance seem reassuring when speaking to a grief-stricken widow? Who will defy sunburn with bright red hair? Maybe he’ll have to lurk longer.
Rob Brydon’s Identity Crisis BBC4, 9pm There are just too many good programmes on at 9pm on a Tuesday. This one, admittedly, is a repeat but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth checking out if you missed it the first time around. Comic Rob looks at his own and other Welsh performers’ relationships with their own Welshness. A lovely journey.

wednesday 8 The Culture Show BBC2, 7pm It’s back with many things to keep you entertained and stimulated at the same time. Kicking off with the best of the 2009 Manchester International Festival, the collaboration between theatre group Punchdrunk and filmmaker Adam Curtis, plus Damon Albarn, and Lauren Laverne talking to Elbow’s Guy Garvey. For starters.
Ugly Betty Channel 4, 10pm Never is an opportunity to turn a drama into a crisis overlooked at MODE magazine but this time it really is dramaful as an accident stuns everyone. Obviously it’s down to Betty to work out what exactly happened, while everyone else runs around in little circles on their Jimmy Choos looking for matching bags.
Life ITV3, 10pm Isn’t it nice the number of us Brits heading up cracking US series? Whether it’s Hugh Laurie in House, Dominic West in The Wire or – in this case – Damian Lewis starring as previously wronged but now righteous cop Crews. Teaming up with partner Reese, they’re soon on the track of an escaped violent con. Nice.

thursday 9 The Real Goldfinger – Revealed Five, 8pm It’s lovely when Five takes what we think is a fictional idea and goes: ‘Hmm... maybe it’s truer than you think,’ rubbing its chin all the way. Like the plot of Bond’s Goldfinger. Yup, in 1914 the British secret service worked to foil an attack on the Bank of England. Similar, but different.
Mock The Week BBC2, 9pm Now this particular topical panel gameshow has come under fire recently for being too bullish and not letting its guests get a word in edgewise. With regulars Hugh Dennis, Frankie Boyle, Russell Howard and Andy Parsons it can seem like a boys club, apparently. Frank Skinner and Gina Yashere try and break through.
Legends: Josephine Baker – The First Black Superstar BBC4, 10.30pm Provocateur, singer, dancer and first African American to star in a major motion picture, here is a pioneering spirit from America who had nothing to do with the Gold Rush. A major aide to the French Resistance and a leading light in the US Civil Rights movement, plus much more.

friday 10 Celebrity MasterChef BBC1, 8.30pm It’s the grand final, and no matter what you’ve had for your tea it will pale into cardboard-tasting goo compared to the treats and delights these three finalists will be whipping up. It’s their best three course meal, to be judged by John Torode and Gregg Wallace resulting in one final winner. Where is tasti-vision?!
Big Brother Channel 4, 9pm & 10.35pm “Please do not swear – we’re coming to get you!” Sounds like a kids TV apocalypse but in actual fact it’s the culmination of one housemate’s weeks of suspense waiting to see their ‘best bits.’ Davina announces who is to be evicted, has a look at the last 24 hours in the house and then chats to the evictee. Busy, busy!
ITunes Festival 2009 ITV2, 8pm Fearne Cotton and Dave Berry get ready to rock on down both out front at the gigs at Camden Town’s Roundhouse and backstage, bringing exclusive interviews and possibly a few candid moments as the night draws on and ‘going live’ gets a bit more risky. Music includes Ironik and Franz Ferdinand.

monday 13 Dispatches: The Children Britain Betrayed Channel 4, 8pm Results from a six-month investigation into the deaths of 160 children since 2004 have just come out and Peter Oborne is asking the hard questions. Looking closely at those investigated and talking to those who survived and the families of those who did not.
The Hotel Inspector Five, 9pm Sounds delightful – travel all over the place staying in hotels and telling them off with their tuneful thanks ringing in your ears. Not quite. Alex Polizzi is off to play family counsellor at the Edwardian Walpole Bay hotel in Margate. It’s heading down the pan due to the sniping and feuding. Time to play nicely.
Bionic Woman Sci Fi, 11pm The remake of the 1970s science fiction series starring our very own Zoe Slater – aka Michelle Ryan – only got a single series but it was fun while it lasted. Here’s a chance to revisit good times when Jaime accepts a mission to rescue an American doctor trapped in Paraguay. Real life, spy life – colliding time ahoy.
