29 L7 INTERVIEW Logan Lerman, the young star of magical new movie Percy Jackson And The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, chats about taking up Harry Potter’s mantle
Aside from hard-line Catholics, hard-line environmentalists and the female friend who genuinely thought it was round about the 25th of March (respect), we tend not to believe people when they say they don’t ‘do’ Valentine’s Day. Single people might say they’re not fussed, and partners might maturely agree with each other not to bother this year because cash is tight and the restaurants are all booked out and besides, doesn’t your every waking moment together pass by in a cloud of heightened affection anyway? But when it comes down to it, who wouldn’t rather get a nice card than not? Hence this issue’s Valentine’s special, packed with gift ideas, dining suggestions and the odd bridal shop and wedding venue for anyone whose partner just doesn’t seem to be satisfied with that rose in a tube. Talk about high maintenance. If you’re a regular Latest 7 reader then you’ll know that over the last 10 weeks we’ve been searching for a new columnist for our City Speak page. Tons of you entered our Columnist Idol competition, and you wrote about everything from colourful family histories and weird viral skin diseases to clubbing at 50 and dating at 70. Thank you to everyone who sent in a column, and everyone who let us print their faces inside a silly showbiz star. And congrats to our two brand spanking new columnists, who will not be releasing a bad cover version and giving a series of interviews about how they just can’t believe it, they really are living the dream, before spending the rest of their lives doing club PAs. Finally, this week’s L7 Interview is with Logan Lerman, star of new film Percy Jackson And The Olympians: The Lightning Thief – think Harry Potter with a Greek god for a daddy.

VBites of wisdom Heather Mills on DIY fashion and Mother’s Day gifts
S
pring is here. It won't be long before the daffodils are out and most people are thinking about buying something new for that gorgeous summer we are going to have! But how about doing something with the clothing you already have instead of buying a whole new wardrobe for the change of season? Dyes can be inexpensive and lots are now vegetable-based and environmentally friendly. Why not get those old favourites out of the wardrobe and freshen them up with a new colour, or sew on some added detail? In essence, my new ethical fashion label Be@One will be
doing just that, and I look forward to revealing the collection to you in the near future. As the days start getting longer, I think it’s important to promote selfsufficiency. We can start to plan our summer crops, sowing our seeds in a timely fashion to achieve the best results. Even the smallest of outdoor spaces, a balcony, can be used to grow crops for your table. And with Valentine’s Day this week and Mother's Day looming on 14 March, start thinking outside the box about gifts. You don't have to
have a fortune to create thoughtful presents. Why not get some nontoxic paint and rejuvenate some old plant pots with a seed of your choice in each? February is a good time to start off some seedlings, so why not say it with tomatoes? If space and time are not on your side, buy some reasonably priced olive oil and cut a few twigs of rosemary or a similarly decorative herb. Put the herbs in the fanciest bottles you can find along with some garlic cloves, top up with the oil and print off your own labels with something like, 'Nothing says I love you more than garlic infused with rosemary.....'. This works with all kinds of things from basil to chili, and you can do the same with pickles or jams you may have left over. It might be an inexpensive present, but it is highly personalised and original – something I know I’d be flattered to receive.

Brighton and Hove City Council’s parking fine profits exposed, plus Lewes’ sealife surprise
I
t is stretched over too vast an area to provide comprehensive TV news to any particular community. But BBC South Today deserves credit this week for exposing what it billed as a grand-scale rip off by Brighton and Hove City Council. Its reporter, Paul Clifton, nosed around and discovered the city council makes £25 a year profit from parking fines for every adult in the city – five times more than the typical council in the south. And from residents permits and parking meters the council makes £60 per adult or almost £13 million in total – and no other council makes even half as much. Councillor Geoffrey Theobald, the council’s environment cabinet member, was filmed in the item attempting to justify the charges and fines, saying all the money the council receives goes towards “parking improvements and safety measures” such as cycle racks for schools and buses to take children to school, improvements that would otherwise be funded by monies from general council funds. In contrast, Newbury Council in Berkshire was quoted as saying it is happy to keep parking fees and fines down and to subsidise them as a service to the community and to help shoppers and shopkeepers, especially during hard economic times such as these.
Rip off or not, Brighton and Hove City Council will once again be accused of punishing motorists for having the audacity to own vehicles, the temerity to actually drive them, and the impudence to want to park them. The city council has a serious perception problem. Whether it likes it or not, it comes across as anti-car and anti-motorist. Many businesses would testify that the council is money-grabbing and punitive, squeezing private vehicles into gridlocked centre lanes, dissuading people from driving anywhere near the city centre, expanding the parking permit system to outlying streets and overcharging and over-fining drivers. Tough policies governing vehicles may well be needed but the council needs to hear a common complaint
Brighton and Hove City Council leader Mary Mears addresses complaints about unlawful van-dwelling
F
air, consistent and responsible enforcement of the law is one of my top priorities as leader of the council and I think that we generally have a very good track record of working with the police and other agencies to address matters of concern to residents – for example our nationally recognised management of the effects of latenight drinking in the city. Therefore, at last week’s Full Council meeting, I raised the issue of van dwellers who are appearing in increasing numbers on the streets
in the city – that the council and residents are drifting apart; that there is now a “them and us” feeling, that the council and people are no longer on the same side. Is the city council ripping off and punishing motorists, and has Brighton and Hove become a “them and us” city? Let Latest 7 know how you feel. Moving on to lighter subjects, check out Stephen Lawrence’s photograph of a seal apparently waving, snapped last week as it swam in the River Ouse near Lewes, some three miles from the sea where it normally resides. The experts say one or two seals come inland every winter looking for fish but, as Stephen said: “They seem to get closer to Lewes every year – one day we’ll see them hopping down the high street looking for a fish shop.” In other animal news, shame on the person who stuffed an unwanted puppy into an old rucksack and dumped it outside city animal welfare offices. But there is a bright side. Officer Maggi Holland said: “Apart from being cold and frightened, he’s in good health – and a new home for the Pointer/Lab cross has already been found.”

and highways of Brighton and Hove. I know that this is a very sensitive issue but I firmly believe that when residents are coming to me complaining in such numbers (as they are doing on this issue), it is our duty as elected representatives to respond to the matter. Living in a van on a public highway without the owners (ie the council’s) consent is unlawful but the current powers we have to address it are simply not effective. As things stand, if we move a van dweller on from one street, they can just move around the corner to the next street and the process has to start all over again. Clearly, this is not good and efficient use of anyone’s time or money and the sooner we can get a workable solution the better. With this in mind, I have decided to set up a working group to look into how we can resolve this problem. At the council meeting, opposition councillors suggested we should set aside some designated council land where van dwellers can live without the problems associated with living on the street.

For my part, I think that we need to be allowed by government to set up a local bylaw which will prevent the ridiculous situation I have described above. Whatever the outcome of the group’s deliberations, it is clear that this is an issue which is growing in significance for a lot of residents in the city and a response is urgently needed.

The Countess was born on 1 January when I was watching The Princess Diaries and got lost in regal fantasies. They grew and grew and before I knew it I had turned my home in Castle Street into a palace and was putting up family portraits. Now I’m planning a Pride float with my maid...

Celebcity with Jo Brooks Behind the scenes at Sundance, plus Katie and Alex tie the knot, and comedian’s £1m price tag
Sundance supersized!
I
spent last week in Utah at the Sundance Film Festival – high on the famously icy slopes of Park City. Sundance is the brainchild of Hollywood legend Robert Redford and this year had a new director, John Cooper. Bob, as he likes to be known, entertained us with anecdotes from film sets gone by. Along with Huw Penallt Jones of the festival’s associate sponsors De Lane Lea (pictured with me right), we spotted quite a few celebs including the brilliant Chris Morris, showing his new film Four Lions. And we literally bumped into one of my fave docu makers, Michael Moore, who was picking up his passes at Sundance HQ. We also cadged a lift from filmmaker and 2010 Sundance judge Morgan Spurlock, of Supersize Me fame, and gave him some good old British humour to think about!
OWN A GENUINE WHISTLER! AT A COST... It may be a small, crude painting of a scooter – but Matt Whistler is asking for a whopping £1m for his first foray into the art world. The Brighton comedian, who’s broken two world records on his scooter, is no stranger to imaginative stunts. But you never know, this one might just pay off – he says he’s already had contact with Saatchi. If he does manage to sell the painting for the asking price (in cash, and hand-delivered), Matt says his first priority will be to pay off the £800 in fees he still owes to Brighton drama school ACT. But not before he and fellow Brighton comic Dave Thompson (best known for having played Tinky Winky in Teletubbies) have organised a 30-day tour during which all the drinks would be free. Their inspiration, Matt explains, is the 1985 Richard Pryor film Brewster's Millions. Got a million going spare? Visit www.facebook.com/people/Matt-Whistler/561674606
LOVE (AND OK! MAGAZINE) IN LAS VEGAS So Katie and Alex have tied the knot in a secret ceremony in Las Vegas. Rumour has it that a camera crew and an OK! magazine team were in attendance – contrary to the publicist statement, “Their decision to marry has not been made with any pre-conceived commercial plan or media deal in place, and their reason for getting married is purely down to their love for each other.” There was no-one more shocked than me when Hove-based cage-fighter Alex walked away as the winner of Celebrity Big Brother – normally the only title he is used to winning is a gold belt in the ring! In its final and some have said best year, Katie Price's boyfriend defied the odds and came top beating off Vinnie Jones and Dane Bowers. Dave Gedge, singer of the After the show and various interviews, Alex told Alan Carr Wedding Present, watching the footie in the Providence that he is desperate to start a family with pub in Hove. “our” Katie. He told the tabloid, “I'd love to have lots of children, I love them. Kate is someone I totally connect SPOTTED! with. I am just besotted with her. She is my someone to talk to, my confidante Ex-Eastenders slim line Jess star and now very and my love, all of that soppy stuff.” So loved-up, ie dining on Oyste Wallace (Kat Slater) rs in the Rege it seems, that he decided he couldn’t wait for the ncy fish restaurant in Re massive summer wedding he’d spoken about just Jessie, I am tol gency Square. d, had spent th days before!

VALENTINE’S SPECIAL 13
It must be love If Cupid’s arrow has struck your heart, then make this Valentine’s Day one to remember
T
ry as you might, you will be hard pressed to find any historically recorded links between Saint Valentine and romance. In fact, there are at least three different Saint Valentines, none of whom showed any great interest in lurve. The Catholic Church even deleted Saint Valentine from their official calendar back in 1969. But we’re not going to let “The first reference to any of that dampen our ardour. No indeed, any excuse Saint Valentine and love for a little indulgent love... February the 14th is the came in Chaucer’s day for showing the person you love how you feel. It’s Canterbury Tales – time for hearts and flowers, and we all know what romantic gestures, chocolates and jewels, and perhaps something that little a saucy old goat that bit more personal. Geoffrey was!” So go mad, break open the Champagne, book that candlelit dinner and break out the sexy undies. Who knows where it might lead, by February the 15th you could be looking at wedding arrangements! Of course, the nicest thing about a Valentine is the surprise: book the dinner, but why not book a hotel room too as a special extra course? Valentine’s Day is not only for lovers. It’s also for those of you who have a secret love. Now is the time to make your mark. Oh, we know you’re not meant to sign the card, but what is the point in that? At least, if you do remain anonymous, leave a decent clue. How else will the gesture stand any chance of paying off? If there is someone special who is unaware of your feelings then take the plunge and send one of Cupid’s arrows right at your target. Remember, if you don’t ask you won’t get. They might say no, but who knows, they could say yes and change the course of your life.
When it comes to Valentine’s gifts it’s good to go traditional, but do remember that champagne and chocolate in excess do not work well and may put pay to plans of an amorous nature. Here at Latest 7 we prescribe a great card (unsigned but with that all important clue), fabulous flowers (preferably delivered and in a public space like your loved one’s place of work), and dinner à deux – but do book a restaurant, as they will be packed all weekend. And don’t drink too much either if you want to stay on top of the game. By the way, the first reference to Saint Valentine and love came in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales – and we all know what a saucy old goat that Geoffrey was!

Ariens must follow their hearts this weekend. St Valentine, and a number of greetings card manufacturers, gift shops and florists, will never forgive if you don’t. Taureans, gird your horns, this is your time for a moment of torrid temptation of the flesh. Give in to it, throw caution to the wind and tell someone you really love them. Geminis need to kick start their slightly tardy libidos this weekend if they are not to disappoint their lovers. Forget flowers and chocolates and get snogging.

Crusty old Cancer needs to embrace the concept of cuddling this weekend. No throwing up that hard shell as an excuse – cosy up and canoodle for all you are worth. Leos love to love and love to be loved too. This weekend single Leos will be on the prowl for absolutely anything that’s on offer. With love in the air all is fair game, so go hunting. Virgos must at all costs stay home this weekend if they are to avoid the onslaught of loved-up lunacy that is inevitable. That said, you may wish to continue lying about your sign...
Lovely Librans are so loved-up that Saint Valentine will have little impact on your predatory sexual modus operandi. Just remember that there are boundaries. Scorpios must play their cards well if they are to receive any love this weekend. Remember, as star signs go, we love not to love you – sorry about that, it’s just the way it goes. Sagis will spend all week handmaking Valentine’s cards and will be too tired to do anything more than blow a kiss. It is, of course, the thought that counts so blow away.
Capricorns must attend to the business of getting a few mates before dealing with the issue of mating, if you follow me. Send as many cards as possible and sign them. Aquarians will wander around in a haze of loved-up loveliness for all to see. Good luck to them, too. Beware, however, the fate of Onan, who took self love a step too far. Pisceans can do a lot worse than treating a loved one to an aphrodisiac platter of seafood at Bardsley’s. Just don’t let Roy put you off your stroke – or try to join in!

L7 INTERVIEW 29 from the book because it’s a different medium but I really think the fans will not be disappointed. Aside from the potential for a big hit, what attracted you to the role? For me, it was all about Percy’s relationship with his mother [Catherine Keener]. What drives Percy to go on this epic journey is that he wants to save his mom. For him, that’s bigger than saving the world. During the journey, he finds out that his mother is alive and Hades [played by Steve Coogan) is holding her captive unless Percy returns Zeus’ lightning bolt to him. So, Percy tries to find a way to get to the Underworld and convince Hades of his innocence, all to get his mom back.
IS THIS THE NEXT HARRY POTTER?
The film has an amazing cast of big-name supporting actors, including Uma Thurman as Medusa... You know, she gives such a chilling performance. She has this really long leathery outfit with crazy snakes coming out of her head... I’m horrible at explaining it but it’s like nothing I’ve seen before. I was signed on to the movie before everybody else and what really attracted me to the movie was getting to work with Chris Columbus – he made the first two Harry Potters, he wrote The Goonies, he’s the guy who made me want to get into making movies.
Glen Ferris chats to Logan Lerman, the young actor set to give Daniel Radcliffe a run for his galleons as the son of Greek god Poseidon in new movie Percy Jackson And The Olympians: The Lightning Thief
A
s Harry Potter approaches voting age and gears up to take his final bow with parts one and two of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, cinema-goers are on the lookout for a new boy wizard. Many movies have tried and failed to make their magic mark (Eragon, The Golden Compass, The Dark Is Rising, we’re talking to you). But it looks like a new saviour may finally have arrived in the shape of Percy Jackson. Based on American author Rick Riordan’s hugely popular teen novels and directed by Chris Columbus (of the first two Harry Potter films), Percy Jackson And The Olympians: The Lightning Thief is the tale of a high school kid who discovers he’s the son of the ancient Greek god Poseidon. If that paternity bombshell wasn’t shattering enough, he also has to contend with the sudden disappearance of his mother and being accused of stealing Zeus’ all-powerful lighting bolt. Needless to say, the gods aren’t too happy with him. One misunderstood teen, missing parents and all manner of magical mix-ups... sound familiar? We caught up with 18-year-old Californian Logan Lerman, who heads up a cast including Uma Thurman, Pierce Brosnan and Brighton’s own Steve Coogan. So, how are you dealing with the inevitable Harry Potter comparisons? I’m being compared to Daniel Radcliffe a lot these days. He’s an unlikely hero who’s thrown into a huge situation. Are you ready for the level of adoration Daniel Radcliffe’s experienced? All I can say is that I love my job and if that comes with the territory then I’m totally prepared for it. I just want to make sure I’m contributing good films to movie history rather than being famous just to
Uma Thurman as Medusa
Logan with co-stars Brandon T Jackson and Alexandra Daddario
In the film you play the son of Poseidon, which means you have to spend a lot of time under water. Was that something you were comfortable with? One of the big aspects of this movie was the whole water thing. I didn’t know how to scuba dive and I had to have three months of training before we started shooting. I had to be strapped to the bottom of a pool all day with guys feeding me tanks of air, it was a lot of fun.
“I had to be strapped to the bottom of a pool all day with guys feeding me tanks of air”
What’s your favourite scene in the movie? Well, if you want something to look forward to, there’s an insane aerial battle in the New York City with Zeus’ lightning bolt. It’s real end-of-the-world stuff and one of the coolest movie battles I’ve ever seen.
be famous. I don’t know if the movie will reach Twilight levels of obsession, but if it does, I’m ready for it.
Percy Jackson And The Olympians: The Lightning Thief is in cinemas from Friday February 12. Glen Ferris is Managing Editor of Screenrush (www.screenrush.co.uk)
Have you been feeling the weight of expectation from the books’ fans? I didn’t realize what I got myself into when I started. I’m like, ‘Who did I fool to get to this point?’ It never really hit me until I got to Vancouver [to begin filming] and saw these amazing sets. They built The Parthenon, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Mount Olympus... This is a big movie! I’ve never been part of a big movie like this, on this level. It’s a little different

Local food heroes are celebrated in a delicious reception at the Sussex Food & Drink Awards

C
elebrations were tinged with sadness at the glamorous Sussex Food and Drink Awards ceremony on 28 January. Seven food and drink heroes received their trophies at the grand awards dinner, but it was also announced that the Sussex Farmer of the Year 2009/10, voted for by the public, was Simon Bishop from Battle, who tragically died in a car accident last November. Over 9000 people voted for more than 300 Sussex food and drink businesses and personalities in this fourth year of the Sussex Food & Drink Awards, which is run by Natural PR with A Taste of Sussex, part of Sussex Enterprise and JustBIZ web solutions. Said Clive Beddall OBE, Chairman of the Judges: “Sussex food and drink producers are now leading the way in the UK’s local food revolution and the food and farming sector here is becoming the envy of its colleagues in other regions of the UK. This year our winners come from right across the county and the quality is absolutely outstanding.” Over 200 leaders in the food, drink and farming industries enjoyed a Sussex bubbly and ale reception, sponsored by Harvey & Son and Carr Taylor, followed by a stunning five-course dinner, which diners agreed was the best ever, made exclusively from Sussex produce. The menu included Sussex butternut squash and chilli soup; Newhaven fish cakes, with fish provided by Network Seafoods; tender braised Sussex beef steaks served alongside kidney puddings, provided by Natural Farms; two kinds of apple desserts with homemade ice cream made with Downsview Farm cream; an array of sumptuous Sussex cheeses; and chocolates and macaroons provided by the Chocolate Alchemist and Real Patisserie. Guests were treated to an Oscars-style awards presentation, hosted by Danny Pike of BBC Sussex, at the East Sussex National Golf Resort and Spa near Uckfield, with winners receiving their stylish trophies. www.sussexfoodawards.com

L7 WHAT’S ON
Acting her age Brenda Blethyn talks to Andrew Kay about her role in Edna O’Brien’s Haunted If you were to believe the media you had a late flowering career but in truth you have been a very busy working actress for a long time... Yes for about 30, 35 years now. And it's redundant asking what roles you would like because you have covered the ground really. Yes I’ve been very lucky, I never hanker after things or go out looking for work. I don't have much of an ego about what sort of part I have to play, it doesn't have to be a lead – the part in Haunted is not the lead. Edna O’Brien gave you Haunted? I was in a play on Broadway, she came and we hit it off straight away. She mentioned she had a play and could she send it. I said yes of course and four years later it turned up. It took me ages to read it but when I did I fell in love. She couldn’t get it produced and I said leave it to me. I took it to director Braham Murray and forced him to read it and he fell in love with it too and put it in the schedule at Manchester Corn Exchange. Did the role come easy? You have to work at all of them. What I find exciting is working out what a character is like on an ordinary day. What was she like yesterday, before the play starts? Exploring her history so I can bring a bit of colour, more of a nuance.
There are so many clues; Haunted is a memory play. You’re never sure who is alive and who is dead. Is Edna O’Brien's writing for the stage as luscious as her novels? This is why I fell in love with it. We live in an age of texting, ‘LOL’, eloquence seems to be going out of the window. It’s an age of brevity, but to open the pages of Haunted and see this feast of language, it reaches parts other beers can't.

Stage about many things: desire, regret, betrayal, love, unrequited love. Do you enjoy live theatre? I love it. I never dreamed I would be in television or films. I thought film stars were from Mars. I started in an amateur group, but that was by default, someone dropped out and they asked me to step in. I love the camaraderie. The more I did, the better I got, and people started to say I could be a professional. And I said, what? Give up my good job? because I was working as a secretary, which I enjoyed. How old were you – was being a mature student rather strange? I was 27. And I know what you mean, a few chances have gone by and you understand the value of the education more. I was good at the woodwork. I would help make the sets.
Is your character strong? You play a lot of downtrodden women. Other people say that but I don’t see it. What do you mean by downtrodden? Well, worried or care-worn... Well, most women are. Most people are. The most vivacious person in public might be very different behind closed doors, that’s what I mean about finding the history. My character is a bread-winner, wears designer clothes, cares about how she looks, is a bit of a romantic, cares about her marriage. It's a play
Have you ever taken a role and regretted it? There must have been along the way, because I felt a flutter in my stomach as you said it but I can't remember what. Maybe it wasn't the material but the experience.

BRITISH SEA POWER A popular Brighton based outfit that has developed a very strong following over the years, culminating in their top five album – and by far their strongest – Do You Like Rock?

SAX APPEAL
Courtney Pine on defining jazz, reinventing the sax and playing his first professional gig as a schoolkid in Brighton
T
he son of Jamaican immigrants, this country’s most celebrated contemporary jazz musician is now in possession of a CBE for services to jazz music. “It wasn’t something I considered at all,” says Courtney Pine from his home base in London. “I was even more shocked to be considered for a CBE [one up from theOBE which was bestowed on him in 2000]. I got in touch with my teachers, Sonny Rollins and Branford Marsalis, and thanked them! It’s amazing that someone from my generation should be recognised for playing improvised music...” It all started with his dad’s collection of 7” ska records. “I used to turn over the records and listen to the instrumental version of the A-side,” says Pine. “I didn’t know it at the time but people like [ska originators] Ernest Ranglin and Don Drummond were originally jazz musicians.” So what is his definition of jazz? “It’s a music of freedom... the only boundaries are the limits of your imagination.” It’s this kind of thinking that has led Pine to explore all sorts of music from around the world and to fuse it with jazz in its myriad forms. Even his main instrument, the saxophone, is something he continually explores. “I use a company that makes me specialised saxes. I sometimes hear and want to do things that I can’t so I ask the company if they can!”
From ska and blues to modern music such as drum’n’bass, Pine is constantly making connections between music and between cultures. More recently, he has immersed himself in the music of Sidney Bechet, perhaps the first great jazz saxophonist, and a New Orleanian who spent much of his life in Paris. “His music is vibrant, it just doesn’t sound like anything of the period. I saw the connections betwen him and Charlie Parker, John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter, and it made sense to me.” Pine’s last album, Transition In Tradition, is a homage to Bechet, and it’s this he’ll be performing on his UK tour. “I don’t try and play like him, but I pay homage and respect him,” he says. Pine’s management is based in Brighton and it also happens to be where he played his first professional gig. “It was at the Top Rank [now Oceana]. I didn’t get paid and I had to go to school the next day... I was told not to be a jazz musician,” says Courtney Pine OBE CBE.

BRIGHTON SCIENCE FESTIVAL
Photo Talks
Flanked by 'Family Fun Weekend' and 'Big Science Weekend', the Brighton Science Festival returns this year to mark the 350th anniversary of the Royal Society. It encourages children to play and create, as well as listen, debate and discover, and there’s plenty for adults too. Topics for discussion and display this year include everything from 'Microbes and Me' to 'Unweave the Rainbow', covering the whole spectrum of scientific discovery. There will even be a viewing of Terry Gilliam's 1985 classic sci-fi film, Brazil, with its dysfunctional industrial world and lumbering 1940s technology. The inspirational variety of events, talks, exhibitions and films includes several big names, from TV prof Robert Winston to comedian Ben Miller, and a special Catalyst Club event dedicated to the Royal Society’s 350th anniversary. Many events are free, however booking online in advance is advised for all events. Visit www.brightonscience.com for more details.

Give in to temptation at Wild Fruit’s Pink Love Ball and help spread the love
W
ild Fruit’s last party – The Red Party at Oceana in December – was such a huge starstudded success that the Fruity team are planning another one-off jaunt to the luxurious Brighton seafront superclub. February is the month of love so what could be better than a massive ‘love-in’, Wild Fruit style? Sunday 14 February will see Wild Fruit’s annual Pink Love Ball fill every glamorous corner of the massive Oceana venue, with their typically eclectic mix of outrageous costumed party-goers, cheeky Valentine cherubs, and gorgeous boys and girls. There’ll be seven distinct party rooms, proving there’s something for absolutely everybody at this glittering event, with fabulous seating areas and swishy bars, plus the option of booking your own ‘love booth’ for yourself and your guest (or guests) with a complimentary bottle of bubbly too! Nobody does a party quite like Wild Fruit. If you’ve never been, then make the effort and you’ll be hooked on the unique atmosphere and production values that make Wild Fruit a true clubbing legend. Don’t get left out of the party of the month; dress up in sparkling lovethemed pink finery and join the most colourful party crowd in Brighton. Show some love for Haiti! Wild Fruit will donate at least 30 per cent of door profits from the Pink Love Ball at Oceana to help raise funds for Haiti. They will also be bucketing on the night for the worthy cause. Wild Fruit Pink Love Ball, Oceana, West Street, Brighton, Sunday 14 February, 8.30am–3pm, £10/£7 (before 10pm)/£7 NUS/£5 (before 10.30pm). Advance ticket available from Charles Street, Prowler, Naughty & Nice, Doctor Brightons, Brighton Dome box office 01273 709709.

TUESDAY 9
LAUGHING HORSE COMEDY
T
here’s a new weekend comedy night in town – well, it’s been around for a couple of months but it’s good and settled now. Laughing Horse Comedy has been running comedy nights around London and the South East, as well as a free Fringe at the cultural massive that is the Edinburgh Festival and shows at the Brighton Festival, for some time now. It also runs its respected new act stand-up competition each year, some of the heats of which you may have caught last month at this very venue (previous years’ winners include circuit favourites Russell Kane and Carl Donnelly). So when Laughing Horse announced it was starting a weekly weekend comedy night in Brighton we knew that the Brighton comedy scene had made the London lot sit up and take notice. Back to the night though, and Laughing Horse keep setting up some of the best emerging line-ups around for Sajeela Kershi us, from both the Brighton and London pool of comics. Tonight’s line-up is hosted by the delightful and gutsy Sajeela Kershi, safe hands as ever for a comedy night. Joining her as the line-up, delivering a mixture of comedic stylings, are Steve N Allen, Bobby Carroll, Stephanie Lang, Martin Hill and zany Canadian comic Wes Zaharuk. With the bar open until 2am and the evening’s events taking place in the beautiful setting of The Quadrant’s upstairs room, you can happily settle in for a fun Saturday night. Get there early to baggsy yourself a prime position. Laughing Horse Comedy, The Quadrant, Brighton, Saturday 13 February, 8pm, £6/5. follow me on twitter

L7 Under review Read more reviews of local shows online at www.thelatest.co.uk LAURA VEIRS Six-months pregnant and nearing the end of a very long tour on which her band were required to share beds as well as instruments, Oregon songwriter Laura Veirs seemed a little lumbering as she showcased songs from sixth album July Flame. But then that's only relative. Since her debut, 2004's Carbon Glacier, the bespectacled Geology Major has been known for a sweet yet austere, Appalachian-style folk that's as bracingly beautiful as a midnight swim in a crystal cave. Of the newies, the title track stood out with its familiarly strange melodic parameters. But it wasn't until she got the banjo out for 'Cluck Old Hen', a traditional track wound into a rollicking reel by the audience's quickening handclaps, that the gig really caught light. Hanbury Ballroom, 26 January ✪✪✪✪✪ Bella Todd
POETS VS RAPPERS 'A battle of rhymes between Brighton's finest rappers and poets'; on paper the premise sounds utterly absurd but, in reality, it made for a brilliant and often hilarious showcase of the city's talent. Now in its seventh year, Poets Vs MCs has become a legendary fixture on the Brighton cultural calendar, and this year's was the best show to date. Some truly extraordinary performances from both teams made it very clear that, although the poets were voted the victors for 2010, Brighton's wordsmiths – both poets and MCs – are onto a winning formula. Komedia, 28 January ✪✪✪✪✪ Patience Leaver
THESE NEW PURITANS They looked like they should’ve been in a Tesco carpark back in their Essex hometown of Southend-On-Sea rather than the sweaty climes of Audio. So it came as something of a surprise to hear the dramatic new sound of nurave refugees These New Puritans. Recently released second album, Hidden, has rightly garnered acclaim from all angles; thundering drums, warped, haunting choir synth noises and ritual rhythms replacde the thoroughly enjoyable but a little formulaic previous art-rock incarnation. Dark, malformed tango and tribal electronic beats were only slightly hampered by sub-standard vocals. Menace loomed in the basement’s shadows; the kids from Skins, it seems, have finally grown neon fangs. Audio, 1 February ✪✪✪✪✪ Nick Aldwinckle
NANCY ELIZABETH + MARY HAMPTON They may have gone untrumpeted at the BBC 2 Folk Awards last week. But this double-bill of Manchester’s Nancy Elizabeth and Brighton’s Mary Hampton was all the proof you need that folk is flickering back to life via some young and very vivid imaginations. Headliner Elizabeth played from her two albums of soft, solitudinous country-folk, accompanying ‘Feet of Courage’ with only a shaker, a stick hitting a chair back, and the heavy boots she’d sweated away all night in especially for this purpose. Her head was in a mess, she said, because she’d just fallen in love. With an accountant. It was a lovely set, but she suffered just slightly from following Hampton, who grows more arresting with every performance, her piercing attic folk veiled with the softest of deliveries and the ghost of a wry smile. ‘The Bird In The Bush’, the spellbindingly erotic traditional once sung by Anne Briggs, could have been her own. Prince Albert, 3 February ✪✪✪✪✪ Bella Todd
RAMBERT DANCE: COMEDY OF CHANGE Once again, Rambert delivered a programme that showed the breadth and scope of their artistic range. Jonathan Goddard, in Richard Alston’s ‘Dutiful Ducks’, gave a virtuoso performance that was elegant but also masculine and powerful. In ‘Don’t Think About It’ by Miguel Altunaga, ritualism, machismo and fear jostled together as we saw men fight for supremacy – a work of great promise from this new choreographer. Mark Baldwin’s new work is inspired by Darwin in his anniversary year, the theme of evolution being used to exploit notions of alikeness and difference, metamorphosis and change. Brilliant costumes in black and white allowed the dancers at moments to appear and disappear, and in the final passage their uniformity and anonimity emphasised that, despite our differences, we are all as one. ‘Tread Softly’ by Henri Oguike showed the company at its best, as the dancers mixed the comically jerky and repetitive with leaps of pure classical elegance. Theatre Royal Brighton, 4 February ✪✪✪✪✪ Andrew Kay

EXTRA STRONG COUNT ARTHUR STRONG: THE MAN BEHIND THE SMILE Theatre Royal Brighton, 1 February ✪✪✪✪✪
T
hose who only know the Count from his successful Radio 4 show (he has been performing live at Komedia for years) might worry that the verbal gymnastics of the tongue-tied Arthur would be lost in the clutter of a staged production. And from time to time they were indeed lost in his biggest Brighton booking to date. But, on the whole, this was a cleverly conceived and smartly executed show. The shape of the evening was a tribute to Arthur presented by the head of a Doncaster cable TV company. Silly, yes, but then why not? After all, Count Arthur is a fiction built on extreme silliness. The stage was dressed like a TV chat show but there was no Arthur for some time, not until we heard him from the wings saying to play some music because he wasn’t ready. From then on in, the bumbling, deluded loon spoonered and malapropped his way through 70 minutes of hysterical nonsense. Via really well executed video clips cutting vintage archive footage with new material, we saw the Count interview Sir
Laurence Olivier – or Laurence of Arabia as the Count puts it – and presenting the pilot of Ask The Family before losing the job to Robert Robinson. When he announced that he had also been in Doctor Who the audience was enthralled, only to be rewarded with a clip of a Cyberman and Arthur dubbed over moaning about being able to ‘‘see nothing in this bloody costume’’. Such devices can only work if done well and these brilliant clips had been lovingly and flawlessly crafted. There is little denying that Arthur owes something to Harry Worth, but so few of us remember him, and of course our more relaxed attitudes allow Arthur to be truly despicable in the cause of comedy. The running gag throughout of the theme to Robin Hood, the TV version, finally paid off with Arthur, the TV presenter and the camp and downtrodden stage manager appearing as Robin, Friar Tuck and Little John in the silliest dance ever to disgrace the stage of the Theatre Royal. A pure, vintage delight pulled off with great aplomb. Andrew Kay

Adam Virgo on our national talent for failure
With Victoria Nangle
A
Gladiators ready?
fter watching Andy Murray over the last two weeks, I was gutted to see him lose to an in-form Roger Federer last Sunday in the final of the Australian open. After watching him destroy everyone he played against without losing a set, I really thought this was his time to win his first grand slam – but it was not to be. You must understand, tennis in Britain has not ever been great; we have produced three players in the last twenty years. Andy Murray has the pressure of a nation watching him and wanting him to win but being on your own on that court must make it very hard to cope with pressure. The England football team will have huge pressure on them in the world cup but remember there are 11 players all helping each other and you have the bench always helping you as well. For some reason, sport for Britain has always come up short. Yes we are getting better, the Olympic medal table has got better. But although we have produced a player who got to a grand slam final he still has not won, and the England cricket team has regained the ashes but when the world cup comes along we always seem to fail.
“For a nation that has so much to offer, we are light years behind other countries in producing world-class athletes” With regards to the rugby, the one sport where we were world cup winners, the best in the world, for some reason we have gone backwards and now, if we finish third in the six nations, that would be seen as an improvement. The England football team never seem to get it right, not qualifying for Euro 2008, and our best finish since 1966 in the world cup was at Italia 90 where we lost to West Germany on penalties, surprise surprise! For a nation that has so much to offer, we are light years behind other countries in producing world-class athletes. It all starts from the grass roots. We as a nation are glued to the TV wanting our country to win in whatever sport we compete in but after we have failed, the press seem to sharpen their pencils and crucify our sporting nation. Sport in England can set a huge standard for our nation as a whole. It’s a universal language. You only have to look at Australia and the USA, who have set the bar for sport in what it takes to be the best. Why has it taken 20 years for us to learn from the other countries? Maybe sport for a long time was never a priority for our country. I want to see young kids being taken to sports academies and taught flair and skill at an early age, and really pushed to learn the technical side of their sports, not just the simple basics. Do you think we fail as a sporting nation or do you think we succeed considering the size and population we have? I know what my answer is... Are we failing as a sporting nation? comment@thelatest.co.uk Adam Virgo plays for Brighton and Hove Albion FC and his foundation raises funds for three charities.

Last Woman Standing, BBC3, Tuesday
T
ime was when I used to laugh – loudly – at American Gladiators and how it epitomised all that seemed American and not British in its ‘anything for a spectacle’ mentality. I’d come back from the pub/club in the small wee hours and howl with laughter at the very idea of such ridiculousness ever being shown to those not intoxicated or bereft of a healthy sleep pattern. Surely that would be taking it seriously. Surely the civilised world would come crashing down when people hitting each other with giant Q-tips became approved prime-time viewing. Fast-forward roughly a decade and I’m tucking into my Saturday teatime dose of Total Wipeout, safe in the knowledge that I can watch Andy McNab surviving extreme trials thrown at him by the gods (or nature, depending upon your belief system)anytime I want and that BBC3 is just about to start the girl version of it’s Last Man Standing survival contest. This is more than a drunken spectator sport now. This is an entire genre with commissioning editors creating different versions for the kids, the teens, the adultescents and the family viewers. And I hadn’t even noticed. Alright, so maybe I’d been a bit snobby when they introduced the British version of Gladiators, but after that I just took it as being It’s A Knockout from the ‘70s meets David Attenborough on a bit of a trek. Quite how that became picking up a group of self-described ‘well hard’ young blokes and getting them to complete anthropologically interesting but completely alien manhood tests around the world I’m not sure. That was Last Man Standing, launched in 2007, in which they went around losing contestants and demonstrating endurance in the pursuit of cultural understanding – and being the
hardest. A sort of ‘take from it what works for you’ format. Now the series is back with fit young women stepping up to the mark in an equal rights demonstration of the toughness of tribal ladies – the first epsiode sees our five athletes learning Huka-Huka wrestling with the Kamayura Tribe in Brazil. In a week. It is very informative, but also quite scantily clad. Lots of learning and growing, but cramming a lifetimes’ cultural learning into seven days. Makes me feel like I’m reading Darwin For Dummies with the grown up book’s dust jacket over the cover. It’s still a spectacle. But is that the only way we’ll learn these days? In Roman times, the gladiators served to distract the plebs from their troubles, to keep them from uprising. The violence people craved was provided, but in a manner controlled by the powers that be. Gone are the Spitting Image shows of old on a Saturday night, instead replaced with spectacles. Some hitting each other, some hitting out at nature, and some just hitting the high notes. follow me on twitter

wednesday 10 Midsomer Murders ITV1, 8pm Barnaby’s coming to Brightontown! Yay! And obviously while he’s here he’s bound to bump into our very own local star Brian Capron. This is getting spookier by the second. Actually, it’s all about a plot involving a coastal property deal and Causton’s mayor, as well as a very old family. Hope he sees the pier.
Horizon: To Infinity And Beyond BBC2, 9pm In theory, we could start counting now and still not have finished by the time we croak it, even if that leaves us with a long and fruitful life, albeit full of numbers. Infinity seems like such a simple idea, but when you get to the point of nothing you enter a world of paradoxes. Welcome to infinity.
Film: Rumble Fish Sky Movies Indie, 3.50pm Directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring the very younglooking Matt Dillon and Mickey Rourke, with Dennis Hopper briefly as their father, this was based on a cult novel and left its mark on the critical movie world. A tale of young gang warfare and finding your own voice in a hailstorm of harsh expectations.

thursday 11 Coronation Street ITV1, 8.30pm Gail, Gail, Gail. Whenever will you learn that just ‘cos a fella fancies you it doesn’t mean you should go out with them, let alone marry them? It’s what most girls discover in school! Luckily David rides in to the rescue after Joe’s vanishing act. Comes to something when David’s the knight in (tarnished) armour.
Leaving Home At 8 Channel 4, 9pm Some are still living at home in their 30s, having their pants ironed by mum, and others are out of the nest at eight years old. Yup, boarding school before they reach double figures is what some parents consider the best thing for their treasures. This follows four young girls and their mothers through the separation.
Hotter Than My Daughter BBC3, 8.30pm In a similar vein to the other show hosted by an ex-Atomic Kitten and with an inflammatory name (Snog Marry Avoid?), here comes Liz McClarnon to validate us pointing and wincing at mutton dressed as lamb. Ish. A public jury decides whether mum or daughter should change their image to sit comfortably with us.

friday 12 Andrew Marr’s History Of Modern Britain BBC2, 7pm Mr Marr’s national history has reached the 1980s and with it Thatcher’s Britain – a time of polarised political views and challenges to the imperial view with the Falklands crisis. Will memory prove true to the facts, and are we all really Thatcher’s children? Scary thought.
Young, Angry And White Channel 4, 7.30pm Uncomfortable viewing for many of us, as Peter Beard’s documentary follows 19-year-old Kieren who is considering joining the BNP, much to the shock of his moderate-thinking family. They’re worried about how the choices he’s making will affect his future. With more of today’s youth getting angry, this is timely.
Heroes Of Comedy More4, 11.45pm Perfect post-pub fodder that’ll make you laugh and set you up seamlessly for that weekend feeling. A study of the career of Tommy Cooper, with his excellent timing, corpsing and physical awkwardness is simply classic feelgood comedy. Among those paying tribute are his widow, Anthony Hopkins and Eric Sykes.

sunday 14 Dancing On Ice ITV1, 6.50pm Dance is the language of lurve, so it’s smoochie smoochie time as the entire programme is themed around Valentine’s Day with hearts and lovey-dovey things. Ahh. The night kicks off with Torvill and Dean delivering a special performance of ‘devotion’, and then the contestants skate for their survival. And flowers.
Top Gear BBC2, 7.30pm OK, so the Winter Olympics have started. As it’s all live there’s not much to write in a preview, but that hasn’t stopped the Top Gear boys from preparing for it in their own way. Yup, they’re attempting Olympic events – in cars. Watch a Mini attempt a ski jump, car ice hockey, and a Jag speed racer. Such fun.
Being Human BBC3, 9pm It’s all coming to a head in this supernatural drama. Last we saw, Mitchell was sobbing on his new girlfriend’s shoulder having fallen ‘off the wagon’. Wrong person to tell, lover boy. Will she stake him in his sleep? Or will she surprise him completely? Yes, please! Annie helps a fraudulent psychic and gets in contact with her mum.

monday 15 Nurse Jackie BBC2, 10pm It’s not a good week for our favourite New York nurse as her fancy man Eddie finally gets the boot from his pharmacy, cutting off her pill-popping habit cold. Not only that but Eddie finally discovers that her home life is more than a mother and cats. Yup, husband and kids are out. Not a good time for cold turkey.
Film: Seven Five, 10pm It’s easy to forget just how good this is after the avalanche of gruesome horror films that it inspired, but such a stellar cast and biblical inspiration damning society for its sins cannot be ignored. Brad Pitt is the sparky young cop paired with veteran Morgan Freeman, investigating a rather creative serial killer.
Glee E4, 9pm The pithy youngsters carry on singing against adversity in this rather successful musical comedy series that’s taking iTunes by storm. The dastardly Sue uses her position as co-chair to try and break the club up by pitting them against each other in a tough competition. Divide and conquer – mwah ha ha ha!
