31 L7 INTERVIEW JLS’s Marvin Humes on The X-Factor, the ex-factor, the crazy things fans have done in the name of JLS-love and the tunes he’d play to make you swoon this Valentine’s.
“Love is like jazz”, crooned Stephin Merrit on Magnetic Fields’ 69 Love Songs, “you make it up as you go along.” Weddings, however, are a very different beast. Whether you’ve got your eye on a baronet’s castle or a barn, a three-grand gown or a second-hand frock, the things take planning. Which is why this week’s Latest 7 includes an 18-page wedding guide, just in time for all those partners planning to pop the question on Valentine’s Day. “When love is not madness, it is not love,” wrote Spanish playwright Pedro Calderón de la Barca, which is something JLS fans understand all too well. One follower of the X-Factor boy band recently hid herself in a holdall with the hope of being delivered to the band’s hotel room. Member Marvin Humes comments on the craziness – and reveals the contents of his tried-and-tested seduction mix-tape – in this week’s L7 Interview. “The sincerest love is the love of food,” observed George Bernard Shaw, and you’ll find no more amorous prose in this issue than in Andrew Kay’s Food & Drink review of something called a Rhubarb Glory at the Sylvan Oak restaurant in Findon. It’s very tall, and very very rhubarby. “By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more,” eulogised Byron. Zara Baker couldn’t agree more, having just spent a week experiencing the marine delights of thalassotherapy in some of Tunisia’s best spas. Read all about the benefits of ‘sea therapy’ in our monthly wellbeing guide, Wave. Also this issue, we’re offering unsigned musicians a chance to win free advice from some of the music industry’s biggest movers and shakers (see p 27 for details). And we present our final Columnist Idol contender – a 70-year-old Brightonian, this time, who tells me she spends her weekends galloping about on horses. Love it.

Here comes the bride... Plan your way to a perfect day with our special wedding guide
R
omance is very much alive. Whether you’re going to pop the question this Valentine’s Day, or have been engaged for two days or the last two years, the time is right to plan your wedding. It may be a given that the bride has been mentally planning her big day since she was 12, playing dress-up in her mum’s bridal gown and veil, but one key element was missing: her life partner. Your wedding day is likely to be the biggest and most memorable day of your lives. It’s going to take careful planning to make everything happen, and it can be stressful. Expect ‘Bride-zilla’ moments, anxiety and a few tears as well. But it can also be the most fun time, too. You are creating from scratch a day you can relive and cherish for the rest of your life, and you can have things exactly as you want them. It’s a day when you can both hope to look and feel your best; you will be with the people you care about the most, celebrating your love – and having the party of a lifetime in the process. The bride can be a princess in a classic castle setting; a Lady in a great manor house; or the belle of the ball at a grand hotel. This year extravagance and elegance reign, from stunning bridal gowns and suits to gorgeous settings and stunning flowers. All this can be captured with the best photographers, whether traditional or modern in style. So however long your engagement is to be, start planning now with our special wedding guide, including a handy countdown checklist and contacts list, to ensure your day is picture perfect.

A royal affair From wedding fairs to intimate ceremonies and lavish receptions, the Royal Pavilion is the perfect setting for your big day
T
he breathtaking Royal Pavilion offers a unique venue for civil wedding ceremonies and receptions in the heart of Brighton. Built as King George IV’s pleasure palace when Brighton was at the heart of fashionable Regency society, the Regency palace has also been used by other royalty including King William IV and Queen Victoria. Today the Royal Pavilion has been restored to its original 1823 splendour with Indian architecture contrasted with interiors inspired by China, making it a picture perfect setting for your wedding day.
Weddings and civil partnerships The historic Red Drawing room is the venue for civil marriage ceremonies at the Royal Pavilion. Retaining much of George IV’s original 1820s
decorative scheme, the room features red dragon wallpaper and palm tree pillars. The Red Drawing Room can be booked for wedding ceremonies throughout the year and accommodates up to 40 guests. The Red Drawing Room is located on the ground floor of the Royal Pavilion. It is closed to the general public and has a private entrance leading directly from the restored Regency gardens. Ceremonies are performed by the Brighton and Hove Register Office and an additional fee is payable directly to them for this service. After the marriage, photographs of the newly-wed couple can be taken in the sumptuous Music Room, followed by group photographs in the delightful setting of the Regency gardens. The Red Drawing Room can be hired for ceremonies throughout the year (except Christmas Day and
Boxing Day) between the hours of 11am and 5pm. Private guided tours of the palace can be arranged for guests at an extra charge.
Receptions The King William IV Room is situated on the first floor above the Red Drawing Room and offers an elegant setting for both day and evening receptions. Decorated in Chinese style, this light and airy room features beautiful handpainted wallpaper. The room accommodates 60 people for a seated dinner, and catering is supplied by one of the Royal Pavilion’s approved caterers. The Functions Team will meet with you prior to the reception and advise on a caterer to suit your needs. Like the Red Drawing Room, the King William IV Room also benefits from its own private entrance
leading directly from the Royal Pavilion gardens, ensuring privacy and exclusivity on your special day. The Royal Pavilion is available for hire for wedding receptions even if you are not holding your ceremony with them. The Regency palace is the perfect setting for a sumptuous wedding breakfast and to make a toast to the happy couple. But please bear in mind that as an historic building the Royal Pavilion is not suitable for parties and dancing is not permitted.
The Royal Pavilion Wedding Fair The Royal Pavilion will be hosting its annual Wedding Fair on Sunday 7 February from 10am–4pm. This is an ideal opportunity for anyone planning a wedding or civil partnership to visit the spectacular Royal Pavilion and meet a wide variety of local wedding suppliers. Now in its ninth year, the Wedding Fair is popular with both suppliers and visitors. Exhibitors from all over the region take part including photographers, caterers, florists and wedding outfitters. Each will display an excellent range of what they offer and will be available to talk in detail about their services. Visitors will be able to see the historic Red Drawing Room where wedding ceremonies and civil

Guests at the launch last month were treated to an evening of music and delicious Keralan (South Indian) food. Rasa restaurants celebrated their 15th anniversary in 2009.

n my way back the other evening from a meeting of the Southern Landlords’ Association, I was killing time at the bus stop by gazing into the windows of the Cowley Club in London Road. There are always useful self-help notices there, such as “How to find your Empty Property for a Successful Squat” or “What to Say to the Police when You are Arrested.” A youngish man standing at the bus stop saw my interest and came over. Soon we were chatting away, but when he suddenly smiled and asked me if I had time for a drink I almost spluttered. It is a very long time indeed since I have pulled – so long that in those days it was called “being asked out on a date.” True, I had borrowed my daughter’s denim jacket, which I felt went well with my jeans, but even if the man was not wearing glasses, it did not mean his eyesight was good. “You didn’t really go?” My friend next day at my creative writing class was scandalised. (I drop that in because it shows that I go to sensible courses like a normal OAP.) “Of course I did,” I replied scornfully. I expected to live on this dinner party story for weeks to come. Well, maybe not dinner parties, more
coffee mornings and Help The Aged meetings. We had a glass of wine at a nearby pub and I greedily absorbed his compliments like those delicious first gulps of tea in the morning. I deduced that I must be a good twenty years older than him and, after two hours of enjoyable chat, I said I must go. Outside I saw my bus, but to my horror my companion said he would see me home. Thinking fast I dropped my freebie SLA pen, and as he scrabbled on the pavement for it I quickly flashed my bus pass at the driver and was sitting smugly in my seat clutching my ticket when he sat beside me. I saw him once more but sadly I decided that I did not have the stamina for all that bedroom stuff any longer and I could not bear the pain of a face lift. Botox injections were not an option because I have read all about the animal experiments. My friends were disappointed not to be getting a blow-by-blow account. Still, there’s another SLA meeting soon and I have not decided what to wear to it. My daughter won’t let me wear her jacket any more.

VBites of wisdom Heather Mills says Dancing On Ice is all about team work
T
he thing that stands out most for me from the wonderful time I’ve had on Dancing On Ice is the teamwork – all the contestants and behind-thescenes team supporting each other and helping each other get over fears and nerves. I’m sure you can imagine how it feels to go out on the ice on national television. It is such a mixed feeling when someone leaves. I’m not pretending, you’re over the moon that you have been voted in but, at the same time, you genuinely feel sad to see them go. And then, of course, there’s the support I’ve received from my dancing partner, Matt Evers. There’s both physical and emotional support, and my trust in him has been total. Chris and Jayne do not compromise with the choreography. They see me as an able-bodied skater and give us the choreography, and we just have to do it.
POLENTA PIZZA I believe we are all experiencing a shift in our consciousness and moving into a period of greater awareness and understanding as we begin to recognise and correct the mistakes we have made through a lack of balance and loosing our connection with the natural world. Veganism is a way of redressing this balance. And, as this gluten free recipe shows, being vegan doesn’t mean missing out on firm favourites like pizza!
“Ignore all the tabloid stories and you’ll see how much of a team player I am”
Serves 1
When I was first approached to take part in Dancing On Ice, I was actually quite surprised that I couldn’t find any ice skaters with amputations. But my website has been inundated with emails from other amputees giving me their support and telling how my achievements on the ice have given them courage. These emails remind me that this is another team of people that I am part of and the generosity of those emailing is an inspiration to me. I’m not forgetting the public votes that worked together to keep me in the show and gave support to my charities. Every week I stayed in was a vote for making a difference. It’s made me feel like people were voting for the things I believe in and support. Ignore all the tabloid stories, and you’ll see how much of a team player I am. Getting my Haiti appeal off the ground quickly is completely dependent on teamwork. The fact I’m able to respond in a meaningful way is because I have a fantastic team and we’re working together to make it happen, today. What did you think of Heather’s performance on Dancing On Ice? comment@thelatest.co.uk

S
ince hearing about the disaster in Haiti, I have been working closely with Physicians for Peace (PFP). They are a charity helping to provide medical assistance in developing countries. They have been working in Haiti for some time, and their clinic was destroyed by the earthquake. Despite their best efforts to heal victims quickly and efficiently, problems getting around and lack of equipment have meant many patients are losing limbs due to gangrene. I am working with PFP to raise money, equipment and, most importantly, crutches for patients until they heal. I will then be sending artificial limbs.

Mick Lewin, from Billingshurt, West Sussex, who was met at the airport by his wife Lucy, said: “The humanitarian effort will be going on for a long time to come yet. We did everything we could.” St. John Stanley, 44, a firefighter also from Billingshurst, was greeted at the airport by his wife Amanda, 42 and children Jemima, six and Harry, nine. Scores of fundraising efforts are being organised in Sussex, and the firefighters urged people to continue helping.

Hats off to the the rescuers and fund raisers – and hats off to the jury that acquitted loving mother
Bridget Gilderdale from Stonegate, East Sussex, of the attempted murder of her severely ill daughter Lynn, who had ME. The trial, at Lewes Crown Court, left many questioning why the Crown Prosecution Service pursued the case when Mrs Gilderdale had previously admitted aiding and abetting the suicide of her 31-yearold daughter and was given a 12month conditional discharge. The judge, Mr Justice Bean said: “I do not normally comment on the verdicts of juries but in this case their decision, if I may say so, shows common sense, decency and humanity which makes jury trials so important in a case of this kind. “There is no dispute that you were a caring and loving mother and that you considered that you were acting in the best interests of your daughter.” Tragic Lynn, who couldn’t speak, swallow or walk, had begged to be

Snap Shots Photographer Diana Frangi captures the faces and places that define our city. This week: Marilyn Monroe impersonator Laura Nixon

Marilyn has a strange effect on people. You would think men would be very flirty but they often become quite fatherly and want to look after me. It’s lovely! I love drinking cocktails in Valentino’s, the small classy bar on New Road. I say If you’re going to get drunk do it with style
”
Laura Nixon on her way to her favourite watering hole, Bar Valentino. Laura travels the world impersonating Marilyn at corporate events and parties, and on the cabaret and burlesque circuit.

Celebcity with Jo Brooks Patsy Palmer visits Aloka, David Walliams proposes and Alex Reid’s popularity soars
Patsy pampered I
t’s not often we get to see the very lovely Patsy Palmer out and about on the scene in Brighton and Hove these days, but last Thursday Pats took a break from her hectic EastEnders schedule to spend the evening at the hottest party in town. Patsy arrived at the open evening at the Aloka Quality of Life Centre on East Street with partner Richard, and spent an evening immersing herself in the colourful world of the Spa and Restaurant. Over a hundred guests, including Patsy (pictured here with Aloka manager, Heather Renshaw) were treated to Thai massage, Aura Soma colour consultations, yoga demonstrations and a wide selection of locally produced, organic vegetarian, vegan and raw food. My favourite was the raw chocolate cake – just delicious. The bubbly kept flowing all evening and it was long past my bedtime by the time it all wrapped up. I suggest you all get down there and invest some time in yourselves – go on – you deserve it, it’s been a long month! (See more photos of the Aloka open evening in Social Diary, p 22)
BRIGHTON WEDDING FOR WALLIAMS? What a very big week for David Walliams! Not only has the Little Britain Lay-dee proposed to his supermodel girlfriend, the very gorgeous Lara Stone, but this week he makes the move to his new home on Brighton seafront. Hopefully he’ll get himself a copy of this week’s Latest 7 wedding special so he can start planning his nuptials!
ALEX REID: RETURNING HERO Brighton will by the time you’re reading this have welcomed Alex Reid back to its streets, following his successful stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house. Alex has taken the public by surprise with his good-natured character inside the BB House. Hard-man and house favourite Vinnie Jones hilariously described him as a ‘likeable prat’ and the viewers seem to agree. Alex and Dane – both Katie Price’s exes – have even bonded a little in the house, with one task seeing them chained together for six whole hours! Such has been the growth in Alex’s popularity, one famous celebrity magazine has even launched its very own Alex Reid fan club. It seems Alex really is the next big thing. Don’t forget to send your Alex Reid sightings to me! My bet for the first sighting will be Alex leaving Kate’s favourite salon The Lanes Health and Beauty in Market Street, with a glowing suntan courtesy of St Tropez – which will be a huge improvement on the dodgy spray-tan Alex was recently given at the hands of Basshunter star and fellow CBB housemate!

How did your week of being nice to people go, Cancer? Well I hope. Helping others can have far greater rewards than always helping yourself to what is not yours. Leos, having seized their powers, must learn to control them and put them to god use. I do have a number for a nice lady on the seafront with a chair and a whip if you need training. Research tells me that there are now so few people admitting to being Virgo that writing a forecast is redundant. For those still out there – this week, kiss everyone you meet.
Lovely Librans love to love. We all say we love to love but some of us don’t and some are simply incapable of it. To love is a not a human right, not to love is a human wrong.

L7 INTERVIEW 31
SMOOTH OPERATORS Thanks to some besotted fans, X Factor’s JLS were the biggest group of 2009. Marvin Humes talks to Bella Todd about life and love in a boy band... and his ultimate seduction playlist Did you know there’s a whole Facebook page dedicated to deciding who’s the best looking member of JLS? Who won? It remains undecided. People are still tearing each others’ virtual eyes out over the question. Can you settle it for us once and for all? Oh it’s got to be me, hasn’t it? Aston’s the young cute stud in the band, but I’m gonna defend my corner. I’m the tallest. And the oldest. Sorry, the most mature... Sometimes yeah, sometimes no! I’ve got more experience in the industry, ‘cos I’ve been in a band before. But when it comes to going out, me and Aston are the party kids in the band and JB’s most mature. You were in short-lived early 2000s boyband VS (RIP). How different is it this time around? There’s no comparison in terms of the success. But in terms of being together and knowing each others’ strengths and weaknesses and what buttons not to press, I’ve got some comparisons there. JB’s very grumpy in the morning. Extremely grumpy. On eight hours he’s ok. But on five or six...
Yeah, it was craziness. Just the extent of what our fans will do just to get near us. They’ve got to be careful, know what I mean? We had a fan today outside our hotel and she said, I’m 18 now, I'm getting my tattoo of JLS next week. I was thinking, oh bloody hell, like, what do I say? I took her aside. I said, ‘seriously, you should think long and hard, it’s gonna be for life, I don’t think you should do it'. Our fans are, what's the most PC way of saying it? They’re... they’re... they’re... mental!.... But in a good way! I mean, we love them so much and owe them so much.
“Our fans are, what’s the most PC way of saying it?... They’re... they’re... mental!” Do you think the fact you didn't win The X Factor has actually helped – people like an underdog? Definitely. We’re glad we didn’t win the show. We would’ve been signed to Simon [Cowell], and I’ve no doubt we would’ve been successful, but I don’t know what the sell would have been. Even more commercial maybe.
Rather sweetly one of your fans has posted the following question on WikiAnswers: ‘What is Marvin Humes’s real name?’ They think that’s a pseudonym! I don’t think Humes is a very pop star name. It’d have to be Marvin Hollywood. People just call me Marvin JLS now. That’s like, my name. It’s annoying when people see you in the street and they point at you and say, oh look, that's JLS. No! That’s Marvin!
You said the worst thing about The X Factor was going without sex... You’re on that show for three months, you don’t get any free time, and we’re four young boys, we think about that a lot. But to be honest you're so focused on what you’re doing...
Recently one of your fans tried to get into your hotel room by zipping herself into a holdall that she’d chosen to match your luggage and waiting to be loaded onto the JLS tour bus. She was only discovered, half an hour later and on the verge of fainting, because the bag had no tags and was, er, moving. WTF?
Talking about being focused, you took that to the extent of all dumping your girlfriends... Y’know what, when we’re in this position it really is extremely difficult to hold down a relationship. And especially for the girls. We're on the road all the time, you can imagine the attention we get, the stories that are in the papers all the time. It’s hard.
And my personal experience is that me and my girlfriend had been together for six years and it'd come to the end, regardless of my position in life. Your ex, Jaime Jay, released ‘Cheat Again’, a spoof of your single ‘Beat Again’. Was that a curve ball? It didn't come as a surprise ‘cos she told me she was gonna do it. She phoned me up and told me. I said, yeah, whatever, the song's obviously not about me 'cos I never cheated on you. Y'know, she agrees with that, that I never cheated. Oritsé started the group. What was his pitch? He said he wanted to create a supergroup with all the great elements of the best boy bands – Westlife, Take That, Backstreet Boys, Boys II Men. You wanna be the best, you gotta base yourself on the best. Did Sarah Harding give you any useful advice when you were papped getting wasted with her recently? “Just enjoy it”. Everyone always says that people say that, but surely no one actually says that? No, she really did! And when Robbie Williams called me the day our album went to Number One, he was like, you know what Marv, this is what dreams are made of, just love every minute of it. JLS play the Brighton Centre on 9 February and 5 March. 0844 847 1515, www.brightoncentre.co.uk

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD & DRINK 33
Food & Drink Andrew Kay finds out what comes from tiny acorns at Sylvan Oak in Findon
Heart of oak D
riving rain and rapidly descending fog were not going to put us off. We fired up the Noddy car and pootled off west for dinner in Findon Village on what must have been the drabbest evening in January. What followed, though, was far from drab. Once located, Sylvan Oak turned out to be something of a jewel. In truth, I did not know what to expect. All too often these small restaurants in villages fail to thrill, catering as they do to a small – and to an extent captive – local client base. Well not here, oh no; this was a fine example of fine food from a chef who is batting way above average. The venue itself is deceptive, the frontage tiny and, when we arrived, quiet. We were seated in the rear room, hidden around a corner from the front and already busy with two large parties. An hour later the place was packed to the gunnels – not Sally – and buzzing. Sylvan Oak is a family affair with chef Sinan at the helm and sister and dad out front, and there is a relaxed atmosphere – no poncey fine dining attitude or silliness, just a very warm welcome and comfortable atmosphere. Then out came the menus: what a surprise. This was food with grand ideas, fine ingredients and sophistication to be sure. Could they live up to the promise? We would see... Mr R made his choices fast and so did I although, to be honest, I would have been happy with anything on the menu bar the roast pineapple. He started with a foie gras and porcini stuffed baked potato with potato butter. It was a rich and hearty dish, packed with robust flavours that kept him busy and happy for some while. I had a taste of the potato butter, a rich, creamy and distinctly potato-flavoured sauce. He loved it too but did suggest that it was not needed, the rest of the dish being good enough without it.
“I can be very childish when it comes to puds and this one was a five star, full marks, tick VG, show-stopping monument to sweet delights” I chose the lobster, scallop and caviar lasagne in a rich lobster bisque. It carried a supplementary charge but was more than worth it. I loved it, it was refined, it was tasty and satisfying, silky in texture and sexily musky – my kind of food. Mr R moved on to duck breast with an orange and tea jus. Generous in size, the sliced duck breast was meltingly tender, the skin properly rendered and the jus fascinatingly good. The bed of red cabbage was good too, but perhaps too generous and, by the end, overwhelming. A case of less would have been so much more – but a good dish nonetheless. I chose lamb rump with honey and thyme roasted root vegetables and a black olive jus. Yummy tender lamb that cut like butter, sweet herby vegetables and the lightest of sauces peppered with black olive shrapnel. It was a triumph, pretty as a picture but rustic and robust too, in contrast to my delicately pretty first course. Mr R finished with Mango cheesecake and sorbet, wittily de-constructed but packed with fruity punch and contrasting textures. His grin spread from Lamb rump with honey and thyme roasted root vegetables and a black olive jus
ear to ear. I could not resist a rhubarb glory, a tower of deliciousness that combined biscuit crumbs, ice cream, stewed rhubarb, rhubarb fool, rhubarb jelly – yes, jelly and coconut panacotta; wow I hear you gasp and wow it was. I picked up the sundae spoon and dived in. All I needed, for health and safety reasons, was a snorkel. I can be very childish when it comes to puds and this one was a five star, full marks, tick VG, show-stopping monument to sweet delights. It took me an age to eat but I was not to be defeated and carried on to the sticky end. Sylan Oak certainly delivered and I liked the combination of fine food with a relaxed atmosphere. I also loved the price, with three courses starting at £21, with a few supplements here and there for some of the more Rhubarb glory expensive ingredients employed. It being January we drank only water and one glass of house wine each, how good is that? I would, however, love to return when someone else is at the wheel and have a full run at both the menu and the wine list. How lucky are the people of Findon, and clearly they know it, as only fools like me and locals would venture out on such a vile night. We left after nearly three hours but the place was still busy and bustling, the staff still smiling and the whole restaurant breathing a distinct air of relaxed success.

ORGANIC PET FOOD One pet owner didn’t just sit back when her dog went off her food and suffered from a series
with vets and animal nutritionists to create the nutritious range of food. The Lily’s Kitchen range – which makes food for cats and dogs – uses fresh cuts of meat, grains, seeds, vegetables and fruits. These are combined with organic herbs including nettle and spirulina, which provide health benefits for the pet’s coat, digestion and immune system. Latest 7 put the dog dinners and pet treats to the test with our own fourlegged reviewer, and the verdict was a happy wag of the tail, and a satisfied owner too.

Our bodies beneft greatly from the sea air and climate, which is rich in negative ions that stimulate the immune system. Thalassotherapy treatments are ideal for relaxation and rejuvenation, aiding weight loss and reducing stress. I took a whistlestop tour of several Thalasso spas.

The hammam (steam bath) is heavenly, and the salt water pools a real treat. Jet showers boost the circulation, preventing cellulite and aiding relaxation. Seaweed wraps are rich in vitmains, great for detoxifying the body and smoothing skin. Heated to 34°C–38°C, mineral salts are transferred to the body through treatments including baths, wraps and sprays. Les Thermes Marins de Carthage, the Thalasso Spa at The Residence Hotel, offers the ultimate and most luxurious spa day, with three to four treatments the average for one visit. I begin by having a seaweed wrap that leaves my skin soft and smooth. Then I have a bath in the ‘multi-jet bain’, which is filled with warm salt water. As bubbles and mini jets pump out water at various intervals, the water gives me an invigorating, pulsing massage all over my body. A gentle 25-minute full body massage completes my visit.

Yoga vs Pilates Zara Baker discovers how to decide between these two popular forms of excercise
A
lack of motivation post Christmas means it is time to make a change to my normal exercise regime. Ready to embark on a new challenge, I decide to try one of the more holistic forms of workout. But what is the difference between yoga and Pilates? What are the benefits of each? And how do I choose the right one for me? There are many similarities between the two: breathing exercises, for instance, are an essential part of both yoga and Pilates. We often don’t inhale and exhale completely, meaning an inadequate amount of oxygen is pumped around the body. But even these hold key differences in yoga and Pilates. Generally speaking, yoga is more about the mind, body and soul link, whereas Pilates is for those concerned over body shape primarily, as well as the mind. So which should I opt for, yoga or Pilates? The decision feels strenuous before I’ve even stretched a muscle!
Yoga One thing quickly became clear: there is no ‘versus’ between Pilates and yoga. Although there are similarities in the techniques involved, each has a different focus. Yoga is an Eastern tradition dating back over 5,000 years. Its values and traditions lie in the wellbeing of the mind, body and soul. Yoga exploded into Western culture with big-name celebrities raving over its effectiveness in promoting peace and good health, and its therapeutic nature makes it a popular choice for those after a gentle form of exercise. The flow of energy through the body is the focus, as one yoga pose transforms to another through slow movement. There are many forms of yoga including Bikram (hot) yoga – a wonderful workout to aid weightloss and ease aching muscles. In yoga, the focus is to breathe in and out through the nose. This is thought to maintain the right balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body.
Pilates Pilates is a newer form of exercise, developed in the 1920s. Joseph Pilates (hence the capitalisation) created Pilates from rehabilitation techniques and exercises used on World War I patients. Pilates is a low impact workout, like yoga, making it an ideal form of exercise for those who have overcome an illness or injury. Pilates works the whole body, with the focus on toning, strengthening and flexibility. It develops the core muscles, creating a strong ‘powerhouse’, this being the abdomen, lower back, pelvis and buttocks. Controlled movements combined with controlled breathing strengthen the abs and improve posture and balance, making it a popular exercise choice with dancers. A longer, leaner body and flatter tummy is the result. In Pilates, breath is drawn in through the nose, but out through the mouth. This allows ab muscles to contract, again working the body’s core. The body is also energised and replenished by the exhalation through the mouth.

Dear Jacquie Your health queries answered with Jacquie Lane from the College of Naturopathic Medicine “Help! I can’t seem to lose the weight I put on over Christmas. Diets just don’t work for me.” AH, Woodingdean Any calorie restricted diet will work if you stick to it. However, do you really want to go on a diet only to fall off it again? Dieting in the long term is pointless and unhealthy. The key to reducing your weight and keeping it
off is to understand how different foods interact with your body, so you can make the right choices as part of your daily routine. The most successful weight reducing plan I’ve used with my patients is a ‘forever’ daily menu plan that equips them for life by incorporating the‘right’ foods. Even if you can’t visit a nutritional therapist who can create a tailor-
made plan just for you, there are still lots of beneficial changes you can make by yourself. Base your diet ideally on eating seven portions of good quality vegetables and fruits each day, plus wholegrains, and good quality sources of protein, such as fish and lentils. Switch all refined carbohydrates to wholegrain; for example, always buy wholegrain/rye breads and brown rice instead of the low fibre and nutrient deficient types. Opt for sugar free muesli to start the day. Upping your fibre intake by making these changes will trick your body into feeling full for longer and will take up the space you might have filled with sugarladen refined foods. It’s also great for elimination, which is essential if you want to keep your gut healthy and able to process everything you throw at it! Good luck with taking a fresh approach that I’m sure will help enormously! And the best news is, that if you eat right for 80 per cent of the time, this allows a 20 per cent deviation throughout the week. Then, when life throws a piece of cake at you, have it! It would be rude not to, right? If you have a general health query that you would like to raise here you can email Jacquie at healthqueriesforWave@naturopathyuk.com. Please note that Jacquie cannot enter into individual correspondence unless your query is chosen for publication.
Jacquie Lane is a lecturer at the College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM) and the Director of Studies at CNM in Brighton. Jacquie also runs her own nutrition clinic in Brighton and manages a biological testing lab specialising in digestive issues.
CNM seminar If you want to say goodbye to dieting it would be worth attending CNM’s seminar in Brighton on Friday 5 February, from 6.30–8.30pm, which gives the science behind ‘Being Slim and Healthy Forever’. Call 01342 410505 or visit www.naturopathy-uk.com

Taking flight
What’s the long-term plan? I’m very aware of the great work Alister and Miranda have done in terms of the Nightingale being a development house. My main focus is providing a space where artists are comfortable and not constricted by any fourth wall. Alister and Miranda will be moving out of the flat above. So that now becomes a space that artists can inhabit, congregate in, write in – and that just happens to have a pub downstairs.
Incoming Artistic Director Steven Brett tells Bella Todd about his plans for the Nightingale Theatre
O
n Thursday, the Prodigal company’s Alister O’Loughlin and Miranda Henderson take their final bows as actor/managers of the Nightingale, the diminutive theatre above the Grand Central pub where they’ve spent seven years programming work of rare integrity, diversity and daring. They will exit with a performance of the final part of their award-winning Tragedian Trilogy. But not before handing over to Steven Brett, an Aussie who came to Europe as a dancer and has worked as Associate Director of Rambert and Executive Producer of London’s experimental Spill festival, with five years at the British Council in between.
Can you give us a glimpse of your programme? There’ll be a variety of works from one-on-one interventions to cabaret dance events to straight plays (when I say straight plays I don’t necessarily mean straight-straight plays!) There’ll be some local artists, and some not local artists. I’ve been around on the international and national scene for a while now, and those showcases like Edinburgh are not there for nothing. What can you bring to Brighton from your work with the Spill festival? Spill is about raising the profile of experimental theatre. Big Western European theatres regularly programme experimental theatre, no matter how contentious or provocative. They take risks. Spill, if anything, has taught me how to manage that risk.
STAGE 43
Will this be mainly for local artists? This space is primarily for artists in Brighton and the south east. But it’s also about how you energise and stimulate that environment. Contacts I’ve built up over the years with the British Council mean that I can start to arrange international exchanges and residency programmes. I’ve been talking to some French artists about coming over and using the space to deveop their work into English. What about audiences – who do you want to attract? I know I can’t be all things to all people, but I want people to feel they

Is the intimacy of the Nightingale space an attraction for you? Absolutely. It’s such a rare opportunity for audiences to sit in that proximity, and it also challenges artists. The choreographer Ben Wright presented some of his dance work at the Nightingale and the experience completely affected the way he looks at his work – his latest work is set completely in the round. With Rambert, we had vast stages available to us. Football pitches. But dance can work brilliantly in small spaces. You get a very visceral feel. Steven Brett

It'll all be filmed in HD so you can clock every episode on those social sites, or maybe even a giant motion picture! All set to a soundtrack of bass-junk-rave-punk-techcrunk-gutter-funk.

ADAM GREEN The former Moldy Peach has just released Minor Love, another minor triumph of bubblegum-existentialist songsmithery that crucially involves many strong whistle-along melodies. There’s more of the Lou Reed with each passing album, but this is undercut with his sublime sense of the absurd. Saturday 6 February, Concorde 2
With Jeff Hemmings
FUJIYA & MIYAGI Popular Brighton krautrock/electro minimalists who use old synths, whispered vocals and repetitive rhythmic textures to enlighten their take on fractured relationships and anecdotal surrealalities. A great live act, this is their only UK date, so should be special. Friday 5 February, Audio
MASSIVE ATTACK Bristol veterans who continue to produce otherworldly, faintly spooky landscapes that positively drip with atmosphere and foreboding. New album Heligoland features vocalists Tunde Adebimpe, Horace Andy, Damon Albarn, Hope Sandoval, Guy Garvey and Martina Topley-Bird as well as the band’s mainstays 3D and Grant Marshall. Incredibly, this is only their fifth ever studio album. They like it slow it seems, but it’s always worth the wait... Tuesday 9 February, Concert Hall, Brighton Dome

MARIZA Mozambique-born, Portuguese-raised Marisa dos Reis Nunes (aka Mariza) is a huge star in her own country as well as a big name around the world. The blonde bombshell sings fado, a traditional Portuguese music reminsiscent of the blues. Since her debut LP in 2001 she has become the unofficial ambassador for fado, although her music now encompasses flamenco, folk and jazz. A class act. Sunday 7 February, Concert Hall, Brighton Dome
HOOP DREAMS
A mormon upbringing, a spell as Tom Waits’ nanny and a love affair with Elbow have all helped shape Jesca Hoop
F
rom the almost perfect climate of California to the downright imperfect landscape of Manchester, Jesca Hoop is one brave girl. But there is no doubting the ambition of Tom Waits ex-nanny. “I was in the the tub when [Elbow’s frontman] Guy Garvey rang me,” says Jesca, sounding sleepy from her Manchester pad. “I didn’t really know Elbow, but he had heard one of my songs and this compelled him to track me down. We got talking and a few weeks later I got an invitation from Elbow to go on tour with them.” So began her love affair with Elbow, which is why she is currently in Manchester foregoing the weather and the almost supernatural riches of California but enjoying one of the world’s greatest musical hotspots. “I grew up in a musical family,” she says. “It was a regular fact of everyday life, singing together and being raised in a religious [Mormon] household. I then started writing my own music as a pastime, when walking to school or something, but it wasn’t until much later that I decided to do music full-time.” A bit gothic, a bit folk, her musical mix of Bat For Lashes, Kate Bush, Kristin Hersh, Vashti Bunyan, Sandy Denny and Mr Waits himself is

underlined by a raw purity that has been winning fans here and in her home country. “There was a lot of country-blues music in the house,” says Jesca of her time as a nanny to Tom Waits, Kathleen Brennan and their three children. “I just dug into the record collection. I don’t think it really shows as an influence, but I ended up writing a lot of spirituals as a result. What about Waits himself – was he an influence? “They helped mentor me and answered my questions,” says the engagingly laid-back American. “But my music is very personal, some of it is from my dream world, my sleep.” There are, she says, more love songs on her second album, Hunting The Dress, which features Garvey on the leftfield folk song ‘Murder Of Birds’. Music is an aspiration that has come to Jesca only recently. “If I wasn’t doing music I think I would like to grow gardens for those who don’t have the time. I spent a lot of time in remote areas of California; no electricity, no plumbing, no car, no money. When you don’t have to aspire it’s something you can do, even it it’s an aspiration in itself!

STEPHEN K AMOS: THE FEELGOOD FACTOR
TUESDAY 2
M
uch has been made in recent times of naughty comics who push the boundaries. Are there too many no-go areas now? Do they hem in the creative juices? Does shock have value? So it’s refreshing to welcome a comic who makes people laugh and think without a verbal slap around the face. Stephen K Amos is like a comedic hug. The title of his show says it all – his aim is to make you feel good. And he succeeds. Drawing on his own experiences of the world and his own persectives as a gay, black comedian, Amos acknowledges hardships and sees this as all the more reason to find the laughter to balance it. Recently given his own sketch and stand-up show on BBC2 (The Stephen K Amos Show is due on our screens later this year), he’s also a regular on television panel shows and has guested on Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle and Bill Bailey’s Birdwatching, as well as being recognised for his turns on the Michael McIntyre-hosted Live At The Apollo. Supporting the brilliant and comedically affectionate Amos is Brighton-born comic Seann Walsh. Former Latest 7 columnist and regular host of Komedia’s Comic Boom, Seann has an observational, self-deprecating sense of humour that has won him a lot of fans over the last couple of years. It also earned him a place on Mock The Week last year, and both the Chortle PIAS Comedy Award for Best Newcomer and Comedian Of The Year at the Leicester Comedy Festival. What a bonza bumper pack of comedy! Stephen K Amos: The Feelgood Factor, Theatre Royal, Brighton, Sunday 7 February, 7.30pm, £17.50. follow me on twitter

PAPPY’S PRESENTS A WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT: 200 SKETCHES IN AN HOUR Kicking off the sketch group’s first UK tour since slimming down to a threepiece (and abridging their name), this show was fast-paced, as the title suggests. Now one man down, this did sometimes leave players puffing for breath as they dashed from one scene to another. Overall, though, this still had the old Pappy’s magic, prompting shrieks of laughter and a euphoria akin to going to a really good kids’ party – when you were still a kid. There is joy in their anarchic world and the dynamic between them – brothers in heightened play, enjoying themselves immensely and happy to poke cruel fun but only at each other. Komedia, 21 January ✪✪✪✪✪ Victoria Nangle
DEAD FAMOUS It can only be a Playgroup party: nine-foot stilt-walkers and a voluptuous beauty completing a sultry striptease greeted us at the door; inside Cleopatra rubbed shoulders with Red-Indians and Jesus; and Michael Jackson stole the show in a lurex mankini. Quite honestly, anything went. Staged throughout Komedia, Dead Famous took us to another world – an eclectic, underground circus. The Correspondents’ mash up of ‘30’s swing and hip-hop beats was an instant winner and had the whole club on the dance floor in seconds. Note to self – next time, wear dancing shoes! Komedia, 22 January ✪✪✪✪✪ Sian Disson
ERIN MCKEOWN + ANAIS MITCHELL Anais Mitchell kicked off with a selection of folky spiritual songs from her opera, Hadestown. Her microphone technique and quirky
voice were used to great effect on ‘Venus’ and George Bush ‘tribute’ song, ‘1984’. Erin McKeown had the room eating out of her hand from the start, encouraging the audience to sing three-part harmony on ‘Born To Him’. The call and response song ‘Hypocrite’, from her new album, also stood out. A playful take on Beyonce, and both artists letting rip on old gospel number ‘Ain’t No Grave’, ended an evening of exquisite Americana. Hanbury Ballroom, 24 January ✪✪✪✪✪ Steve Clements
MIDWINTER PICNIC More Girl Guides than Whisky A Go-Go, the tiny West Hill Hall on Compton Avenue is one of the more intriguing assets of Brighton's music scene. Mary Hampton recorded her stunning debut album here. One of John Peel's favourite UK songwriters, Liane Hall, is the caretaker. And last Sunday it became the perfect venue for the second Chris TT-compered charity all-dayer, with songwriters, folksters and post-rockers playing to 80 seated cake-eaters. Highlights included former Broken Family Band frontman Steven Adams turning in a one-day solo career, 30 Pounds Of Bone playing his maudlin drone-folk on a guitar because "my harmonium has been stolen by a pop star", and Hall herself, who asked, in between pedal-powered, Nina Nastasia-like songs, if we'd like her to turn the radiators up. West Hill Hall, 24 January ✪✪✪✪✪ Bella Todd
LLYR WILLIAMS Llyr Williams' all-Chopin, Sunday morning piano recital was a triumph of muscular romanticism: never was Schumann's celebrated description of a 'canon buried in flowers' more appropriate. Selected repertoire focused on contrasts offered by the long melodic lines of ‘bel canto' with its rippling filigree accompaniments, the charming rhythm of ‘Mazurka’ and ‘Polonaise’ and the keyboard wizardry demanded by two ‘Scherzi’. Llyr Williams' technical mastery is stunning, even if his rubato and sustaining pedal sonorities, anticipating the impressionism of Debussy, conflict with my preference for the austerity of Artur Rubenstein. The Old Market, 24 January ✪✪✪✪✪ Louise Schweitzer
JANUARY FEELING LUGUBRIOUS MONDAY WITH WILL SELF Komedia, 25 January ✪✪✪✪✪
P
sychologists have dubbed Monday 25 January the most depressing day of the year. Grim weather, postChristmas debt, the longest wait for payday and lack of motivation conspire to leave us bereft of joy. New Writing South decided to tackle this head on by hosting a night in the company of selfconfessed “Grumpy Old Man”, novelist and ne'er do well Will Self. The night was compered by performance poet Paul Lyalls, who appeared ill at ease and somehow lacking the spark required to engage the large audience upstairs at the Komedia. His monotonal delivery concealed a couple of gems, “Goole – I was born there for something I didn't do”, but his performance was generally lacklustre. First up to rescue the evening, which also happened to be Burns Night, was the Scots tour de force that is slam performance poet Elvis Mcgonagall. His infectious and explosive style was an instant hit with the audience. His punchy, intelligent and often hysterical poems on topics from Braveheart (the Scottish hero portrayed by an Australian midget) to Boris Johnson and
James Blunt, succeeded in bringing the much needed energy boost to the room. The absolute highlight of the evening – a must see. After the interval, and another brief set from Paul Lyalls, Will Self shuffled on stage in a long black overcoat, carrying a Somerfield bag of “comestibles” (his dressing room rider) and accompanied by his conversation partner and long term friend, writer Matthew De Abaitua. Self did not disappoint, adopting his trademark darkly comic style to address the issue of his depression and world weariness. An obviously scripted conversation between Self and Abaitua ensued, charting the journey of Self's depression from his pre-natal self to today. Coming across as a kind of intelligent and less shocking Derek and Clive, the pair offered up their wisdom to the floor, counselling audience members with physical ailments, commitment issues and financial woes. The night held few surprises, but was mostly enjoyable and, above all, funny. What more could you ask for on the most depressing day of the year? Angela Barnes

Beyond The Boundary Andy Winter on managing cricketing egos
With Victoria Nangle
I
Keeping it in the ‘Family’
n December I wrote how Sussex County Cricket Club could, in the near future, provide three all-rounders for the England side. Already Matt Prior has established himself as a world-class wicket-keeper/batsman. Luke Wright is waiting in the wings but is yet to make his Test debut. I also predicted that Rory Hamilton-Brown had the potential to be, in due course, an international all-rounder. But then, for Sussex supporters, disaster. Hamilton-Brown signed for local rivals, Surrey. The deciding factor was the offer of that club’s captaincy. Cricket manager at Surrey and former Sussex captain, Chris Adams, said: “To me, captains have to have certain attributes such as charisma, a galvanising spirit, intelligent and tactical brains and the ability to inspire people to follow them – Rory Hamilton-Brown has these in abundance”. Speaking to the BBC, Matt Prior said he would have liked HamiltonBrown to stay at Sussex because he is a very talented cricketer. But at Sussex players had to be passionate about playing for Sussex. He said, “If in their heart of hearts they are 100% about playing for Sussex and wanting Sussex to get back in the first division and carry on the legacy we've created over the last nine years, I want every player like that to stay. If in the bottom of their hearts they want to go and live in London and play for Surrey, that is a decision they've got to make”. He added that the man-management skills required in captaincy might be too much for the inexperienced Hamilton-Brown. Hamilton-Brown has played just eight first-class matches. While I have no doubt about his ability with bat and ball, I question both his experience and maturity to lead a dressing room made up of seasoned professionals such as Mark Ramprakash, Chris Schofield and the fiery South African Andre Nell. At the age of 23, South Africa appointed Graeme Smith as its captain. He “I question Hamiltonwas the youngest player Brown’s ability to lead in the side and had played only four Test matches. a dressing room of However, he had personal authority in abundance seasoned professionals” and the physical presence to impose himself on the dressing room. Two successive double hundreds against England and consistency with the bat earned him the respect of his team, and he is regarded as one of the outstanding captains in international cricket. We are yet to see whether 22 year old Hamilton-Brown has both the physical presence and the personal authority needed to make this experiment work. Faced with the huge egos at Surrey, and his own inexperience, I fear for Hamilton-Brown.

A
post-apocalyptic setting seems to be de rigeur for any self-respecting ontrend drama these days. With Book Of Eli, last year’s animated Nine, and Daybreakers busy invisioning how the future’s not so much Orange, more bloody anarchy, we’re a people living on the edge of oblivion. Or whatever else it was that Rik Mayall said at the start of The Young Ones’ rendition of ‘Living Doll’. Suffice to say, we’re just one small war/vampire invasion/virus away from the end of civilisation as we know it. This is the second series of Survivors, so they did get the hop on the others a little bit intially, but in the midst of such a deluge of bleak end-of-the-worldness this sits nicely as entertainment rather than a preach to change our ways. Fortunately for our intrepid bunch of Survivors, the infrastructure is still in place, with roads still perfectly serviceable and for some reason petrol only a rate commodity when it suits the storyline. Bonza. We’re halfway through the series and already they’ve recovered from one of their number being shot and another kidnapped. Now, a third is being tried for a crime he committed at the crescendo of the last series. While the first series saw this ‘Family’ group being established, the second is testing their familial relationships. Love, trust and allegiance above all others. Nice. And they’re still learning. You knew it would come back to haunt them – Gavin’s death at the hands of Tom. Now Tom is a man of

reaction he has to that it’s rather like trying to blame a brick wall for falling over. Which is why it’s quite commendable that this is addressed in his Mickey Mouse trial. The brutal nature (which manifests in brooding – all psychos just sit and brood, right?) of Tom is addressed and accepted by his ‘Family’ – even the ever-grumpy Greg. No longer ignored and papered over, the small collective embrace Tom – sins and all – as their own. Rather progressive for a pre-apocalypse family, let alone post. All of the post-apocalyptic stories preach a healthy dollop of seeing past differences – vamp and human, wild frontier leader’s daughter and singular evangelist side by side. What’s different here is that Tom’s not changed his bad old ways. He’s not learnt a better direction. But he’s still accepted. Now that’s proper Family. If it wasn’t for that pesky apocalypse you can bet one of them would be hitting him over the head for the TV remote control right now. follow me on twitter

friday 5 QI BBC1, 8.30pm The fabulously lovely Stephen Fry hosts this enduringly fun and informative quiz show, equipping our minds with trivia we’re never likely to use but makes us laugh. ‘Tis always good to find something reliable on TV. Joining him for more intellectual sparring are Jan Ravens, Jimmy Carr, Clive Anderson and Alan Davies.
Popstar To Operastar ITV1, 9pm It’s an odd concept, as if someone had one day decided to see if popstars could be ‘proper’ musicians (as music teachers the country over have already debated with their students for years on end). Anyway, it’s proven surprisingly popular. There are five popstars remaining, ready to reach the high notes for us.
Film: The Godfather Film4, 9pm Nominated for 11 Oscars, winner of three, and the inspiration to an entire genre of mafia movies that moulded current perceptions of gentleman Italian gangsters, this is a phenomenal film. Starring Marlon Brando in a career-saving role, alongside Al Pacino, Robert Duvall and James Caan – get the popcorn and settle in.
