11 L7 INTERVIEW Cinecity’s new patron, film star Paddy Considine, on mockumentaries, man crushes and moving back to Brighton
You may notice a few changes to your magazine this week, and we very much hope you like them. Because Latest 7 is about being in-the-know, we’ve introduced Latest Bookings to keep you abreast of the hottest tickets going on sale each week (turn to p7 now if you fancy catching lottery-predictor extraordinaire Derren Brown live in 2010). Because we’re about community, we’re giving you a comment forum, and look forward to receiving your letters and emails about whatever’s on your mind (Latest Inbox p6). And because we’re about supporting the arts, we’ve increased our live reviews to a full page, and introduced a weekly interview with the biggest and best entertainers in town – this week, Shane Meadows’ muse and former Brighton University student Paddy Considine, who’s just become a patron of local film festival Cinecity (p11). You’ll also find an expanded Competitions section prone to stupendous acts of generosity (p7). The Sports column makes a return, this week with the first installment in a monthly training diary leading up to the Brighton Marathon (p22). And Diana Frangi continues her portrait series Snap Shots (p8). Andrew Kay, meanwhile has been busy doing surprising things with baked beans for the Brighton and Hove Food and Drink Festival and will return next week. All that plus a special area feature exploring the delights of Steyning – from the rightly renowned, such as our cover star Whites Bar and Kitchen, to those just waiting to be discovered.

Seann Walsh faces up to the aging process
Will Harris is lost without his laptop
E
xcuse me if this seems disjointed, but I’m having to do it the old-fashioned way: left-handed, on dog-eared sheets of A5. The reason? My laptop is dead. Stone cold dead. It’s laid out under my bed as I write, having finally given up the ghost two days ago. My flatmate says I must have killed it by hitting the keys so hard while firing off angry emails. I think, full of malaise about the 21st century, it has topped itself. I know what you’re thinking, reader. You think this is going to be one of those heartwarming transformation tales, where I emerge from the silicon darkness of my bedroom, atrophied and shaking, albinoid eyes squinting in the bright daylight, to realise there’s a whole world of unplugged potential out there. Wrong. This is the worst thing that’s ever happened to me. Being without your laptop is like losing a limb. Worse! It’s like losing a mobile phone: that disquieting feeling of being disconnected from your normal routine – come home, switch laptop on, spend four hours investigating the life story of Agatha Christie on Wikipedia for no fathomable reason, switch laptop off, go to bed – coupled with the prospect of having to go about everything the hard way. This is a blessing, traditionalists will argue – a chance to do all the things I could do if I wasn’t normally tangled in my Ethernet. And it’s true; I do have more time. I am lost in a desert of time. Without the distractions of Facebook and

It’s our way of answering comparison between me last year questions like, “How does my hair and now. A year ago, I looked like a look when it's been raining?” without wax-work of me now. And now, I look having to test that practically. like a wayward look-alike of myself. However, there is also a I am aware that at my age (23), masochistic aspect to it, when the the body ages faster.

“This is the worst thing that’s ever happened to me. It’s like losing a limb” Hotmail, all those ‘things I’d do if I only had the time’ don’t take long at all. In just a few evenings, I’ve finished Kafka, plowed through Borges, and decimated every episode of Will & Grace amassed on Sky-Plus. But these islands of activity soon lose their shine minus the sea of YouTube clips and photos of cats in funny outfits through which I usually surf. Strange how, when you can do something all the time, suddenly you don’t want to do it any more. I call my friends, hoping one of them might offer some distraction from the empty hours, but of course they’re all plugged in, zipping like hummingbirds around the information superhighway. That’s when it hits me. I’m a technological pariah, a knuckledragger in a world of spacemen. I’m Stephen Hawking minus his chair. And now I must leave you. The engineer will arrive soon and he’s going to need careful instructions (“This is his mains adaptor, and he likes to watch half an hour of iPlayer before he shuts down for the night”). And besides, dear reader, my hand is starting to hurt.

days of headlines with Phil Mills
A host of new building schemes may be bad news for motorists, while it’s a dog’s life at last for rescued collie Taz
T
here’s a scene in Michael Douglas’ 1993 movie Falling Down where he gets so frustrated with being stuck in a traffic jam that he abandons his car and walks off. The ensuing mayhem he causes generates little sympathy. But his frustration at being cocooned in a gridlock is something often felt by motorists. It seems they will either have to get used to it or leave their cars at home. Before we’ve quite finished with Southern Water’s laying of new water pipes in Brighton and Hove, we’re hearing of a host of new schemes that are certain to raise the blood pressure of those behind steering wheels.
Starting on Saturday (27 September) we have the Labour Party Conference until 1 October, and while Sussex Police promise to keep disruption to a minimum, past experience tells us it will slow traffic around the Brighton Centre to a snail’s pace. In the same month, work begins on a new junction and bridge on the A27/Lewes Road close to Albion’s new stadium. That major project will take 12 months. Next is a plan for new hospital buildings for the Royal Sussex in Eastern Road with work starting in January. And now there are hundreds of student homes and a business school announced for the old Preston Barracks in Lewes Road.
All the plans and schemes will bring benefits – the Labour Party visitors will ring £10 million into local tills, the A27 bridge will bring a new Albion stadium that much closer, Eastern Road jams will herald a brand new hospital and the Barracks redevelopment will rid the area of an eyesore and bring much needed on-site student accommodation, and with it jobs. But they will do more than that – they will create traffic jams and, in doing so, add impetus to the council’s latest car-free day campaign, promoted this year with the help of a pied piper.
The council is constantly trying to get people to cycle, walk or take public transport and the road works will certainly make drivers think. The reality is that, unless we do, it won’t be just one motorist abandoning his vehicle in a jam but a whole host. A pat on the back is due this week to the council’s animal welfare team. Taz, a border collie, was rescued from a life stuck in a flat with no walks and being over fed to the point that he weighed six stone – twice what he should. He now has a new owner, Colin Harman, and is back to a proper weight. Taz’s previous owner was fined and banned from owning dogs.
Brighton and Hove City Council leader Mary Mears has news of two big projects
I
know that Councils up and down the country have suffered as a result of the severe economic downturn and we were no exception when funding for the King Alfred project fell through last year. However, at last week’s Cabinet meeting we had some good news to report on two big city projects. Firstly, we signed off the final business case for the new Falmer Academy school. This paves the way for building work to begin in October/November in readiness for the scheduled opening for the new academic year next September. This is really exciting news for children, parents and staff at the school and, indeed, for the whole community whom I’m sure will all benefit enormously from the new facilities. The Academy will serve one of the most

latest inbox comment@thelatest.co.uk Hi Dani – Thanks for the name and shame poop piece. Perhaps you could make it a regular feature. There is a dog owner very close to where I live who exercises his dog every night leaving giant cylindrical turds scattered around the pavement like a scatological Stonehenge. I haven’t managed to catch them but I have taped up a flyer offering to come and dump on his/her doorstep if they would care to leave an address. Feel free to use if you like. Best wishes, Dan, Park Crescent I’m thrilled to have recently been selected as a Regional Representative for Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) in Brighton. Throughout the country SAS campaign for safe recreational waters, not just for surfers. Here in Brighton the sea is used for recreation all year round, yet it has some of the worst water quality in the UK. I will be working towards tackling the water quality issues in Brighton, carrying out fundraising events and implementing local campaigns actions. If anyone has any issues they’d like to contact me about please email me at aaron.jennings@yahoo.co.uk Aaron Jennings, SAS Rep for Brighton

deprived parts of the City and I am hugely confident that it will provide fantastic new opportunities for the young people here to shine. Secondly, we have been working very hard in recent months with our partners at Brighton University over the future of the Preston Barracks site on the Lewes Road. You may recall that, earlier in the year, we had to pull out of the previous scheme for the site due, largely, to the bleak national economic outlook. However, we have now agreed that the site should be part of a wider redevelopment on both sides of the Lewes Road as both the Council and the University are keen to regenerate this part of the City. Clearly, we are still some way off actually getting on site but this is a really encouraging step forward on what is one of the precious few large brownfield sites in the City. I am also optimistic that in the coming months we will see further progress on the new Brighton Centre where we have recently appointed Make architects to work with Standard Life on taking forward plans for a new convention centre. Progressing these large city developments remains a key priority for me as we start to see encouraging signs of emerging from the recession.

Celebcity with Jo Brooks Animal fanatic Carla Lane moves out, Colin Firth pays a visit and Nick Hornby falls for Bexhill
Pet’s palace T
op TV writer Carla Lane has finally sold her Sussex mansion. Carla, who is probably most famous for writing hit TV series The Liver Birds and Bread, is completely potty about animals and turned her Horsted Keynes pile into an animal sanctuary. Carla bought the house back in 1993 and had the idea of creating an animal sanctuary soon after she moved in. She said at the time, “I didn't buy the house with that idea, but as soon as I looked out of one of the many windows of this place I thought ‘Wow! Four lakes. All that land. I know what I'll do'. I was lucky enough to have a sticky beak at the house last summer when it first went on the market, as ‘im indoors was writing a feature about the house and Carla for a national newspaper. The house is set at the bottom on a long private drive, quite close to Gatwick, and when we approached I felt like Pip going to see Miss Havisham for the first time. Broadhurst Manor is currently home to Carla’s Animaline Rescue charity and houses over 1,000 animals. I was pretty surprised as I entered the house as the animals were allowed to roam free all around the manor. Carla’s assistant at the time made us a cup of tea – assisted by the talking parrot and a couple of stray cats – and I even remember there being a goat in the hallway. I said no to a biscuit! I’m told that Carla will be moving back to her beloved Liverpool. But what about the animals I hear you cry? We will have to wait and see.
Mr Darcy comes to the Duke’s One of our favourite actors, Colin Firth, will be in Brighton on 29 September to attend the premiere of his new film In Prison My Whole Life at the Duke Of York’s. Colin, most famous for his roles in Love Actually, the Bridget Jones films, and for playing Mr Darcy (a personal fave) in Pride And Prejudice, will be attending the premiere to raise much needed funds for the Brighton and Hove Green Party. I was recently introduced to Colin and his lovely wife Livia by actress Greta Scacchi at an event we organised to raise awareness of the depletion of the world’s fish stocks. Colin is the Executive Producer of the film, which stars Mos Def, Snoop Dogg and Noam Chomsky, and tells the story of imprisoned political activitist Mumia Abu-Jamal. He will be taking questions (hopefully in britches!) after the screening.
FOND FAREWELL TO FLOYD I was very sad to hear the news of the death of chef Keith Floyd. Keith won a gong at the Latest Awards some years back and was fantastic fun on the night. Keith was probably the only person I have ever met who held his pint and fag whilst doing a wee at the same time!
Hornby’s surprise holiday home Author Nick Hornby has put on record his love for Bexhill-On-Sea. With all that money he must have made from his novels High Fidelity and About A Boy, he could pretty much stay anywhere in the world – but no, Bexhill it is. Nick apparently rents a house every year and likes to play crazy golf!

Bare cheek Brian Mitchell & Joseph Nixon’s thoroughly scurrilous Brighton column
EXCLUSIVE!
Serialisation of The Death of Bunny Monroe For a fee of ten quid and a box of Cadbury’s Heroes, Nick Cave has agreed to let Bare Cheek serialise his latest novel. Enjoy Chapter one “Strewth!” Bunny Monroe launched himself out of his guesthouse bed and straight into his favourite trews – the black worsted ones with the faint red stripe. Red Stripe being, funnily enough, what he’d been drinking the previous night, which accounted for why his mouth felt like a Mongolian wrestler’s jock strap. He was a funny looking fella – a bit like that actor. What’s his name? Ooh – you know him, he was in Wise Blood. Brad Dorif – that’s the guy. Billy Babbitt. Billy Bibbett. Whatever. Suffice it to say, he wasn’t as good looking as old Nicholas Cave. You can be sure of that. Heh heh heh. Bunny pulled up his strides, executed a shaky pirouette and made for the bathroom. He was thinking about things. Where he’d left his socks, what to do about his life, that kinda stuff. Entering the dunny the stupid bleeder tripped over a bottle of Body Shop mint and kumquat body lotion that some galah had left there and fell, striking his right temple on the cistern. And that was that, he was dead. Dead as a bloody dodo. Next week: chapter two

Arians must take advantage of the last days of summer by going out and doing something summery. And I don’t mean a trip to a garden centre. No, go for a walk, a very long one.
Cancerians must also come out of their shell. Before you know it some gourmand will be attempting to dip you in the mayonnaise of life – even if you don’t want to be dipped.

Taureans must also make the most of the last few long summer days before the dark nights set in. Go and buy a torch in preparation, batteries too, you never know when you might need one. Geminis must learn to stand on their own two feet. Get out there and go it alone, right now is exactly the right time. Leave your imaginary friend at home and have fun.
Leos cannot wait for the dark nights to set in. Only then will they feel comfortable prowling the streets and terrorising all that get in their way. Claws in until then please. Virgos must make the most of the last few days where the wearing of chiffon is acceptable. From then on in it’s away with Greco Romano frills and back to dungarees.
Librans may pretend to enjoy the good weather but they would never go out without a warm cardi and an umbrella – just in case. Right now Librans are in total torment. Scorpios like the changeable weather, hiding from the sun then scuttling about in the gloom when things are quieter, plotting and scheming away. Shame on you Scorpio. For Sagis weather is of no consequence as all Sagis have reached the autumn of their lives no matter how old they are. Pull on a warm vest and draw up a rug.
Capricorns love the lush greens of summer and will now be entering a period of autumnal gloom. Buy flowers, lots of flowers and lie down amongst them. Aquarians welcome this time of the year for the mushroom harvest. So far a lack of rain has made it late but when it comes they will be making lots of toast surely. Pisceans love the early autumn and the fruits of the sea that come with it. Game for anything? Why not pop to see Roy and Muriel at Bardsley’s and ask if you can see his pollocks.

L7 interview
PADDY’S RETURN Glen Ferris talks to Cinecity’s new patron, red-hot British actor and one-time Brighton student Paddy Considine
H
e’s one of British cinema’s most talented and endearing actors, whether in bigbudget fare like Hot Fuzz and The Bourne Ultimatum or the acclaimed, lo-fi fruits of his friendship with director Shane Meadows – a partnership that has produced the likes of Dead Man's Shoes and This Is England. And now Brighton University alumnus Paddy Considine is joining a line of cult heroes in becoming a patron for the Brighton film festival, Cinecity. In his latest flick, the Meadows mock rockumentary Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee, Paddy plays an embittered tour manager tutoring real-life Nottingham-based rapper Scor-Zay-Zee (and pursuing a guest slot for him with the Arctic Monkeys). We caught up with the subject of more than a few man-crushes on the set of Blitz, a serial killer flick with Jason Statham. He told us about making Le Donk... in five days, improvising with the Arctic Monkeys, studying in Brighton and his desire to move back to the city.
There's a great bit in the film where Le Donk adds some lyrics to one of Scor-Zay-Zee’s tracks and entreats a bunch of random people to “Calm Down” Yeah, I actually sat up with the Arctic Monkeys and we just came up with a list of names. Shane bunged a couple in as well.
“It was in Brighton that I realised I had the potential to be an artist and that’s why it holds a special place in my heart”
Why did you agree to become a Cinecity patron? I lived in Brighton for four years, doing a photography degree down in Circus Street, and I still have a real affinity for the place. I used to live just around the corner from the Duke Of York’s and I saw some really great films there. I think my fondest time there was when I watched Gary Oldman’s Nil By Mouth and you could hear a pin drop. Plus, great cake! Cinecity is a festival for emerging talent – is that important to you? Yeah – there are plenty of established film festivals out there but not so many that are specifically made to just showcase talent. I enjoy those more than the market place deals you get at some of the bigger festivals. Talking about films from the fringes, tell us about Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee We made it for about £50 and shot it in five days. It took a while to edit and get it in shape but it's very much an off-the-cuff creation.
Le Donk... is the first movie made under Warp Film's five-day film banner. Was it tough to come up with the idea, rehearse, shoot and wrap within the allotted time? It was only tough in that we didn’t have a script. But we’re not strangers to making things up as we go along. We’ve made a tonne of stuff together, me and Shane, and we would literally choose a costume from a box of clothes and I would make up a character around it. Preparation is great, it’s very valuable. But it's nice to really think on your feet. Did your time in Brighton affect what you’ve done since? The photography course certainly helped with my directing career. I directed a short film [the Baftawinning Dog Altogether] and I’m about to direct my first feature next year. Looking back, it was during my time there that everything came together really. I was nearly kicked off my photography course but I knew that it was really just a kick up the arse, so I got myself into gear. It was in Brighton that I realised I had the potential to be an artist and that’s why it holds a special place in my heart. Do you visit often? I was down there the other day actually, and I’m coming down again in the next few weeks with my wife and kids – we might live there, even. My friend is supposed to send me a property paper.
So you’ve actually co-written a song with the Arctic Monkeys? Don’t give them any credit mate. I didn’t use any of their suggestions anyway. Well, maybe I used a couple: ‘Calm down Harold Shipman’, that might have been Alex Turner’s. No actually, that was mine, no-one’s having any credit for it!
Finally, are you aware of the whole Paddy Considine man-crush phenomenon? You mean like a heterosexual man-crush thing? Well, that’s interesting. God. I don't know what to say. I mean, I know something definitely happened with Dead Man’s Shoes because more people saw it and there is a certain kind of audience that it spoke to. I’m quite happy that I've got something in the locker that I can feel proud about! Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee is at the Duke of York's from 9 October. The printed Cinecity programme is available at the end of October. For more info visit cine-city.co.uk. Glen Ferris is Managing Editor of Screenrush (screenrush.co.uk)

STEYNING
Steyning alive At the foot of the South Downs, this small but perfectly formed West Sussex town is busier and more buzzing then ever
I
t may only be the size of a large village but say that to a Steyning resident at your own risk. The pretty town of Steyning is one of the gems along the northern edge of the South Downs. Brilliantly by-passed, it avoids the rush of traffic and retains an idyllic sleepiness. But do not be mistaken, there is nothing sleepy about Steyning or the people that live here. Architectually it boasts fine examples from across several centuries, from early timbered buildings to stately Regency piles. It also has a great range of local restaurants, cafés and pubs, many of which figure highly on the foodies’ map of the county. And to add to that, there are several local retailers who also contribute to the town’s reputation as a foodie mecca. Steyning has a number of places to stay, too, and is an ideal base for a downland break with lots of lovely walks, and heritage sites close to hand. Local amenities are excellent and well used by the residents. But the range of interesting shopping opportunities makes Steyning a great destination for a pleasant day out, combining a spot of lunch or dinner and some relaxed retail therapy. This is the place to pick up that must-have decorative item for your home; collect some great local produce to take home and cook that evening, and stop off for a light lunch or something grander should you choose. Steyning, one of the county’s best kept secrets, is about to be exposed.
Local edge The Sussex Produce Company is named ‘Sussex Food Shop of the Year’

Specialising in locally grown fruit and vegetables, Klein described The Sussex Produce Owner Nick Hempleman outside Company as “a simply fabulous his award-winning shop shop,” and the Sussex Food & Drink Award judges agreed with her when they named it ‘Sussex Food Shop of the Year’ in 2009.

Dome run Andrew Kay takes a look at the stunning autumn season at Brighton Dome
T
he forces at work at Brighton Dome go from season to season and strength to strength. Following a fabulous Festival this year, the team continue to programme a vastly varied, and occasionally eclectic season of events that will surely offer something for everyone. Classical music has its home in the Concert Hall and this season sees the return of the London Philharmonic Orchestra with the first half of their series of concerts. On 31 October, Alexander Vedernikov conducts Prokoviev and Tchaikovsky, and is joined by Pier Lane for Rachmaninov’s 2nd Piano Concerto. They are back again on 12 December under the baton of JukkaPekka Saraste with Brahms and Beethoven. Some of us remember Ryuichi Sakamoto as a pop star but since then he has carved a distinguished career as a contemporary composer for piano. He will be performing brand new arrangements of his popular repertoire and his more avante-garde compositions on 27 November.
Local favourites Barry Wordsworth and the Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra also return with their season of annual concerts, starting on 4 October with Vasko Vassilev playing Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto. The Dome is now the South East’s home of contemporary dance and we are lucky to be given a chance to see some of the very best companies from across the globe. This year Bonachela Dance Company bring The Land Of Yes And No from 6–7 October, exploring the human body’s ability to give shape to memory. Following this, Vincent Dance Company perform a dark physical dance work titled If We Go On, a look at hesitancy and anxiety with a dash of black humour (4 November). On 5 November, award-winning Brighton choreographer Ben Wright’s B group have a new show, About Around, which seats its intimate 50-strong audience in the round and enacts a sequence of events taking place over one hour. The contemporary dance season ends on 2–3 December with Entity by Wayne McGregor’s Random Dance, combining a pounding soundscape with a staggering blend of light, bodies, technology and film. Less serious but no less culturally important, we can all look forward to a fantastic Christmas season that includes Chicago, Brendan Cole and a fantastic Christmas family show from Tall stories. Them With Frozen Tails, a sequel to their smash hit 2007 production Them With Tails. There is plenty more with music, performance and, as ever, a stunning programme of children’s events and workshops to compliment the season. For full details go to brightondome.org or call the box office on 01273 709709.

MADE IN SHEFFIELD From the Longpigs and Pulp to a soaring solo career: Richard Hawley speaks to Jeff Hemmings
I
n serious ‘danger’ of becoming a national treasure, Sheffield’s Richard Hawley continues to win new fans with beautifully constructed songs that reach new depths of meaning and relevance on his new long player, Truelove’s Gutter. It’s his sixth studio album since he left Pulp some ten years ago, and his first since the universally acclaimed top ten album Lady’s Bridge. “I wanted to create a piece of music that works as a listening experience from start to finish,” explains Richard. “The tempo had to be consistent and I didn’t want there to be three-minute pop songs. That’s like placing a pork chop in the middle of the Mona Lisa!” Always full of caustic wit, Hawley has little time for the notion of the so-called short-span generation. “It’s insulting,” he exclaims, “...people have got more patience than the media would have you think.” Truelove’s Gutter features an exotic arsenal of antique and unusual instruments such as the Cristal Baschet, the ondes martenot, a musical saw, the lyre, and the glass harmonica – a mechanical marvel invented by Benjamin Franklin, the man responsible for electricity. “I wanted to add an unearthly feel to the record,” he says. “My
grandfather was a concert violinist and when we were bored as kids he would go to the shed and bring out a saw which he would then play. It blew our minds...” Hawley’s records are consistently named after Sheffield place names, past and present. His affinity with this grand old city is seemingly indestructible. “It’s a post-industrial s**thole, but it’s my favourite post-industrial s**thole, “ he laughs. “The original city planners ensured there was plenty of municipal parks and it’s surrounded by 100 per cent greenbelt; take a short car or bus journey and you’re in the Peak District. It’s mainly the people I like though, they’ve got a self-effacing sense of humour. You know, tattooed bus drivers will say ‘Alright, love?’ to you. The only thing it lacks is the ocean but that’s about it.” So, how does he explain his longevity? “I’ve been playing guitar since I was six years old but I didn’t think it would last. Having this ability to make music is something I never take for granted.” > Truelove’s Gutter is out now. Richard Hawley performs at the De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill-on-Sea on Friday 9 October. Visit dwlp.com for more info.
FINK It’s all in the style and the delivery. Finian Greenall continues to entrance believers and non-believers alike with his gentle and rhythmic nu-blues folk that’s drenched in easygoing melancholia. It’s chill out music par excellence and while his formula has stayed essentially the same, it continues to find the target with ease. Tuesday 22 September, Komedia WIDE EYED ORDER + THE MEOW MEOWS + THE JUNK + DREWVIS Four top local bands playing as part of Ska Bar, a new bi-monthly night that will also feature Ian Immediate on the decks. The Junk are a promising skacore outfit who’ve been around for less than a year, and their debut EP, produced by Dave Chang, looks like it could set them on the road to success. Headliners Wide Eyed Order are a seriously uplifting brew of ska, Eastern European melodies and jazz. Thursday 24 September, Latest Music Bar KINKY FRIEDMAN Singer, songwriter, humorist, columnist, author, cigar company owner and possibly future Governor of the state of Texas, Friedman has been hailed a modern-day Will Rogers for his satirical observations, music and writing. 19 of his 29 books are outrageous mystery novels that feature a Jewish country singer turned Greenwich Village private eye named Kinky Friedman. He’s a musician, too, and for this gig he’ll be performing with a trio. Tuesday 22 September, Komedia TALVIN SINGH Re-scheduled date from earlier this year. Singh is best known as one of the founders of the ground-breaking Asian fusion club night Anokha and the winner of the Mercury Music Prize back in 1999 for ‘OK’. Although not a prolific recording artist, this master tabla percussionist continues to fuse Indian classicism with western pop, jazz and dance, particularly drum ’n’ bass. It’s always a spiritual occasion when he plays live. Wednesday 23 September, Concorde 2

COMIC BOOM If you want to be on the QT for all the latest comics coming up the ranks, without taking a chance on a new act night, Comic Boom ticks all the right boxes; especially this month’s return from the summer break batch. Not only can you catch Seann Walsh – as seen on Mock The Week, Chortle’s best newcomer 2008 and as Latest 7’s very own regular columnist – compering the entire evening, but there’s also the cream of up and coming comics, carefully vetted by comedy guru Jill Edwards. A hefty handful of the great and the good from the new act market will be present, headed up beautifully by the fantastic award-winning Sarah Millican. Winner of last year’s if.comedy best newcomer prize, Sarah’s a regular on the telly panel shows and a delightful stalwart of this year’s Guardian Edinburgh Festival podcasts – bagging her is quite the coup. But then Comic Boom makes it a rule to bag the really quite sensational headliners. Sarah Millican’s full length show will be on during the Magner’s Brighton Comedy Festival in October, so for a hefty taster from this awardwinning comedian, as well as the chance to say you saw the next generation of big name comics before they started selling out their own hour-long shows, pop along to Comic Boom. Comic Boom, Thursday 24 September, Komedia, 7pm, £8.50/6.50.

Read more reviews of local shows online at thelatest.co.uk ABSURD PERSON SINGULAR Alan Ayckbourn at his best is blissfully funny and this production is just that. Six actors each worked the script for every last laugh without ever resorting to trickery. The TV stars involved remained firmly in character, proving their skills, and Ayckbourn’s story, although dated, still has a poignant ring to it. The period was clearly evoked with great sets and costumes, too. Top marks to Matthew Cottle who stole the show with his brilliant portrait of the underdog made good. Theatre Royal, 14 September ✪✪✪✪✪ Andrew Kay
FINAL CUT Dark and quirky seemed to be the theme of this month’s offerings selected by short film screening crew, Final Cut. The mind of a writer plagued by work demons; a social worker’s surreal visit to a bereaved family; an odd love tale pegged on excrement; a tripping cyclist’s ride through town; and five uncanny snapshots of domesticity (think reversal and idioms) – each ticked all the ‘different’ boxes with a capital D. Add in the one-off, longer screening of ‘Finding Esther’, a community film re-enacting a true-life mystery, a Q&A with its writer/producer and complimentary popcorn, and you had a night to recommend. Komedia, 13 September ✪✪✪✪✪ Monica Perdoni
THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY There’ll be many who resent the new film version of Oscar Wilde’s gothic morality tale: its skirting over of the whole art versus life debate, its invention of characters, its stretching of timescale into a suffragette-filled 20th century. And they would have appreciated this old-fashioned stickler of a one-man show, in which Brighton actor (and sometime Corrie man) Keith Drinkel delivered a trimmed but unembellished reading from a leather armchair – no CGI
portrait springing to life here. Unfortunately the story, too, failed to spring to life as the format leant itself better to the philosophy than the action. Philanderer, blackmailer, murderer – Dorian Gray may be many things, but he’s certainly not an armchair sinner. Nightingale Theatre, 12 September ✪✪✪✪✪ Bella Todd
AVERAGE WHITE BAND/ JOHANNA HARMAN After a less than brilliant time on their last visit, Soul veterans AWB made a triumphant return to Brighton this week. A storming two hour set to a sell out crowd, who suffered somewhat in the heat of an airless late summer night, cemented the fact that, veterans or not, AWB remain the unchallenged King's of UK funk. The fact that two AWB members joined in with the set from Johanna Harman, a unique and compelling new soul voice, simply served to pass on the inheritance. So much so that Freddy V's storming tenor solo on Harman's emotive rendition of 'I'd Rather Go Blind' was arguably the highlight of the night. Concorde 2, 8 September ✪✪✪✪✪ Marc John
THE MAGIC NUMBERS Confident, cheery and as cute as ever, the four-piece played a blitzing set with proper passion and big smiles. Michele bopped big-time on guitar, Angela wowed with distinctive vocals, Romeo happily led, and Sean drummed his heart out. Trademark tunes ‘Love Me Like You’, ‘Love’s A Game’ and the gorgeous ‘I See You, You See Me’ were mixed with tasters from forthcoming album Those The Brokes, which promises to be a classic. Fab fellow psychedelic and country act Danny And The Champions Of The World supported, at one point joining them for a moving rendition of the Bob Dylan classic ‘I Shall Be Released’: beautiful.

SEA OF STORIES RED SEA FISH Pavilion Theatre, Brighton Dome, 17 September ✪✪✪✪✪
“R
ight, let the freak show commence" barked Ray White as his devoted son put the finishing touches to his 'going out' look: hat, gloves, overcoat, a face thickly whitedout with cream... and this in the suffocating heat of summer. Ray, the aging anti-hero of Matt Wilkinson's new play, has a rare allergy to sunlight. As it transpired over two over-long acts, he also has one hell of a backstory. It's easy to see why Red Sea Fish, a three-hander from popular Brighton company Two Bins that premiered in Brighton last week, has been chosen to open New York's Brits Off Broadway season in November. The dynamic between the chalk ‘n’ cheese father and son is as engagingly East End-English as Steptoe And Son – while Ray (Tim Blissett) verbally abused mugs of green tea and relished the Times obituaries which he hoarded in a pile by his chair, his son Terry (Matthew Houghton) cooked, hoovered, padded timidly about in his Everlast tracksuit and quietly devoured the colour supplement travel features. Their dialogue was brilliantly
observed, the two leads were great, and Ray is certainly good for an edgy laugh. But the plot is confused and cluttered. Was Ray really ‘The Count’, an enigmatic gang chief who stole his future-wife away from a host of admirers? Or merely a driver in another's Firm, who bundled his free-spirited lover into marriage, motherhood and life in an isolated seafront tower block, driving her to suicide in the process? Come to that, is his skin disorder real, or a means to control his son and keep the real world out? The arrival of Terry's runaway friend Karen (Janna Fox), reminding Ray of his lost wife and finally turning son against father, further muddied the waters – although it did lead to some beautiful direction from Frank McCabe as the parentless young woman at last found a home in the older man's lap. What a shame it all had to end in a flood of playwriting cliché as, in the final moments, Ray pulled back the curtains to reveal – figuratively, metaphorically and, yes, literally – the light of truth.

hen I was 17, my friends signed me up for a cross country race for a joke. I never used to go to sports day, preferring to hang about in town, smoking roll-ups and listening to boys with greasy hair play guitar. I was the antithesis of a sporty teenager. I couldn’t run, I couldn't hit any kind of ball or shuttlecock with any kind of bat or racquet, and the PE teachers had long despaired of me. In the end, they took me off the register and I’d sit in the library reading books about equally lethargic and unhealthy poets. I couldn’t imagine anything worse than cross country – even though it was probably only 2k. I had to beg the teacher, who thought it was funny, to let me off. For the next decade, that was the closest I came to running more than 100 metres. I joined a gym in 2005, but only ever jogged on the spot. Whenever I tried it outside I had a wheezing fit. I genuinely believed I was physiologically incapable of running. My legs were too short, I was too top-heavy and I had the lung capacity of a chain-smoking beagle. Then, last year, I did something that surprised everyone who knows me. I signed up for the Women's Refuge Project 8k. The first time I ran a kilometre, as usual, I ended up a red-faced, sweaty mess. But I did it again two days later and I got further. After eight weeks of painful training I completed the race and ran five miles for the first time in my life on one of the coldest, wettest and windiest days of the year. It felt brilliant. I was fitter than I had ever been, while eating more and staying slim. I was hooked. Two weeks afterwards, a friend conned me into signing up for the Sussex Beacon Half Marathon. Thirteen miles sounded insurmountable – but then, so had 8k. I was in. Over four months, with coaching from Rachael Woolston of Fitbitch Boot Camps (fitbitchbootcamp.blogspot.com), I upped the distances I was running to nine or ten miles. Then, with two days to go, I caught a cold. There was no way I was running with a snotty nose – so I did another half marathon the following week instead. I might have come 808th out of 900, with the Nordic walkers not far behind – but I was happy. Now I'm signing up for Brighton Marathon. I don't feel like I could run 26 miles, but I used to think I couldn't run for a bus. I'm going to give it a damn good try – and, if I can do it, anyone can. The inaugural Brighton Marathon will take place on 18 April 2010. Entry closes on 31 October, with a limited number of places available at 9am on 1 November on a first come first served basis.

ith each episode knowingly titled after the noise made by one of the killings featured therein, Harper’s Island is upfront about the fact that it consists – in essense – of beautiful people killing each other. Nice. It’s as addictive as Dawson’s Creek with a machete in each hand, and this Sunday’s episode hits the midway mark with episodes ‘Thwack’ and ‘Sploosh’. The rich daddy of the bride appears to be slowly coming around to his son-in-law to be and, as the wedding party that initiated this whodunnit on a forest island grows smaller by the week, he may find he has to settle for the last man standing. Only one sheriff seems to be on the case. Murder She Wrote never had this much blood splatter. This week the number of disappearances that have occurred since episode one finally starts to generate suspicion amongst the characters. Having dropped like flies for four episodes, they suddenly start to notice the gaps appearing in their line-up when they get together for the wedding rehearsal. This is fab. With plots that would do any US daytime soap proud and an ingenuity in the killings that wouldn’t go amiss amongst the grisly offerings from Hammer Horror’s heyday, this is good quality trash, and Harper’s Island knows it. The thirteen-part murder mystery is instantly digestible and ready to launch hearthrobs from it’s brief and finite run. Conversely, this week’s CSI:Miami has plenty of staying power, exploring its second wind in goodness knows how many series as bigwig Horatio’s nemesis Ivan the
Terrible Russian returns to the scene. Yes, it’s still violent crime, but unlike Harper’s Island it’s less about the ‘violent’ and more about the ‘crime’. CSI... has been going for some time now and continues to split viewers. Some love the methodical science of the investigation, and the beginningmiddle-end approach to storytelling which means unresolved crimes are few and far between. The messy long-game form of other US imports such as The Wire and The Shield demands more dedication and viewing fidelity, but they have seen their complex storylines pay off in viewing figures. Clearly CSI: Miami is after the same longterm investment in character, as Delko looks longingly over at Calleigh, Ivan mutters accented threats at the slow-butmeaningfully-spoken Horatio, and Wolfe gets into fisticuffs on behalf of his sponsor. But the case is still neatly wrapped up by the end of the episode, allowing for the fickle viewer to be just as satisfied. Telly from the USA is A-okay – fully aware of our short attention spans and need for beautiful people. They do it well. We do normal-looking people in decade-long sagas well. It’s why they import EastEnders.

tuesday 22 Lost Land Of The Volcano BBC1, 9pm If you like your documentaries with action, the BBC’s been paying attention. Steve Backshall heads up a team descending into a crater of a giant extinct volcano in the jungle of New Guinea. It’s practically King Solomon country – discovering new species an’ all, including a rat as big as a cat. Huge cheese needed to catch it.
To Catch A Paedophile ITV1, 10.35pm This is not meant to get torches burning and pitchforks shaking; it’s more a reassurance that detectives are on the case. Child protection expert Mark Williams presents this, the first of two programmes, following officers in the Met’s Paedophile Unit as they trawl online and expose the tricks tried to get closer to children.
Quentin Tarantino On Inglourious Basterds Film4, 4.05pm The mainstream’s favourite indie director has had a fair bit of comment on his latest offering – a fantastical blockbuster of a World War II movie featuring a group of Americans scalping Nazis as just one of its stories. Get his take on what it’s all about and why he loves it.

thursday 24 The Love Of Money BBC2, 9pm A lot has happened to our banks in the last year, and it’s not always been easy to understand it all. The final part in this comprehensive series explaining how the collapse of Lehman Brothers set it all off concludes with a look at how the politicians reacted and asks what can be learnt from it all. Piggy banks.
Teachers Channel 4, 11.50pm Yes, we know it’s a school night and it’s on rather late but, if you’re anything like this lot, responsibility won’t be high on your list of priorities. Don’t miss this second chance to see the light-hearted drama series of troublesome teachers, trying not to get caught doing things they shouldn’t do. Like lurking.
Off The Hook BBC3, 8pm This has been luke-warmly received, but make up your own mind about the fresh comedy involving university freshers. Danny’s having a bad time of it; getting sexually harassed by his lecturer and finding Shane’s thrown away his photography coursework. Things can only get better. And they do.
