With Beachdown, Loop and White Air suspended, Sussex’s festival season was looking a little bleak, that is to say completely non-existent. So we’re glad to hear that the team behind Meadowlands, a music weekender taking place at Glynde Place in Lewes this May, are in it for the long term. “Brighton deserves an event that has longevity,” explains one of the organisers in this week’s Music section. And when the event in question involves programming local bands and interesting international acts in the grounds of an Elizabethan Manor, there’s every reason to hope they’ll succeed. Brighton has always been a bit of a Bermuda Triangle when it comes to music festivals; strange, because a toilet circuit stop-off we most definitely are not. This week we review two small gigs that produced a very big buzz: Kate Nash’s comeback at Komedia, and James McCartney’s Audio gig, attended by Macca himself. With the general election looming, we can think of no better guide than Rory Bremner, whose Election Battlebus pulls into town next Tuesday. In this week’s L7 Interview, the impressionist discusses everything from the Iraq war to his family’s colourful history, and explains why there’s a big polar bear next to his front door. New columnist Ruby Grimshaw is the sort of person you can imagine having a big polar bear next to her front door. A 70-year-old Brightonian who enjoys belly dancing, galloping about on horses and pinching HobNobs from blood clinics (we’re simplifying a little here, but she is a selfconfessed “OAP with attitude”), Ruby takes up weekly residence in City Speak.

Tasha Dhanraj rejects the celluloid rites of passage

don’t like films. I’m aware that most people would say that I can’t say I don’t like all films because there are many different genres. But I can. Films are long. I am short. There was never going to be a happy relationship between us. There are at least ten things I hate about every film. With any film I’ve ever seen, I got bored within about 15 minutes, wondered whether this was as good as it gets, and then felt relieved once it reached the end. I might have laughed or cried, but I definitely would have thought about how I could have used those 93 minutes to carefully prepare and consume a nice steak. Some films for teenagers are supposed to be rites of passage. I’m sorry, but who is so insecure about their maturity that they need to watch a film to feel that they have grown up? Forget debutante balls, bar mitzvahs and the Chinese Guan Li – have you seen Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? No!? Then how can you ever be considered a man? I watched that film when I was 10. I definitely did not feel more adult. I remember thinking, ‘well his parents aren’t doing a very good job’, then turning the channel to Nickelodeon to watch the rest of Sabrina, The Teenage Witch. People always put far too much weight and meaning onto films. If they really do affect you that much then your emotions are too unstable. I’ve realised that if you can get

Everyone gets so bored in films that they never remember a picture perfect version of any film. That way, you can still seem knowledgeable about films without going through the torture of watching one. According to Facebook, my favourite films include Donnie Darko, The Breakfast Club and Willard. I thought they weren’t too long, but I think it’s mainly because of what I was eating at the point of watching. I am likely to like anything if I’ve got nice food. I like popcorn. I like Maltesers. If I need to be watching a film to justify mixing them together then you can bet that I will. The key to releasing everyone from the tight grip of deluded appreciation of films is to sell popcorn and Malteasers together. Until then, I fear I may remain the only enlightened one.

days of headlines with Phil Mills
Beach wheelchairs arrive, teens attack shop, and local kids have a ball (16,000, actually) SNAP
A
t long last, the sun has returned! – and with it the weird and wonderful, with a week of record-breaking achievements and unconventional ways of keeping healthy. New record-holder Daren Terry, 41, is a hairdresser who cut hair for 26 hours non-stop to raise money for a charity. The record, which smashed its runner-up time by two hours, saw 40 customers facing the snip at his salon in Bognor Regis. “I hope to double my record in Las Vegas next year. We are talking to some of the top hotels over there,” Mr Terry said. On the subject of good deeds, free-to-rent, innovative ‘all terrain’ wheelchairs have been made available on Brighton beach. The two chairs have been fitted with four inflatable tyres designed to roll on shingle, and can be adjusted to suit different people’s posture needs. The chairs, available for collection from the council’s seafront office at 141 King’s Road Arches, even come equipped with an umbrella.
Cabinet member for children and young people, Councillor Vanessa Brown said: “These special wheelchairs will make a big difference for a lot of families who haven’t previously been able to go out and fully enjoy our wonderful seafront together.” Good deeds keep everyone smiling but it’s a shame not all of us follow suit. On Wednesday, two teenagers were arrested after stealing cigarettes from a convenience store on Preston Drove and brutally attacking the owner. The youths, aged 13 and 15, entered Preston Foods at 8.45am SNAP
and were chased out of the store by the 30 year old after challenging them. The pair then stabbed him, causing minor injuries, and were arrested shortly after on suspicion of GBH and robbery. Meanwhile, a hotel was evacuated on Sunday after a washing machine caught fire. Firefighters, who were called to the Hotel Metropole on King’s Road at 11pm, were able to deal with the incident within 15 minutes. Towels ignited after the machine’s drum got stuck, it is believed. On a decidedly bouncier note, a street in Hollingbury was transformed into a festival of colour after children unleashed 16,000 coloured rubber balls down hilly Hertford Road. The stunt, simply named Avalanche, was inspired by the famous Sony advert, and aimed to promote awareness of the Brighton and Hove Children’s Festival next month. Call me old fashioned, but allowing youngsters to run harebrained down the middle of a usually crowded road seems a touch on the irresponsible side, even if it was pedestrianised for the afternoon. I’m all for the festival and its methods of channelling cultural and sporting awareness to the younger ages, but the street is no playground. Enough of my ranting, though; bring on the festival’s bike games, the creative workshops and dinnerin-the-dark this April. Perhaps it’s about time we all took cues from the young and the young-at-heart. What do you think of the new beach wheelchairs?

Brighton and Hove City Council leader Mary Mears on protecting local traders
I
f there is one subject that is guaranteed to get people animated and engaged at the moment it is the growing influence of the major supermarket chains on our town and city centres. This is particularly so in Brighton and Hove, which is highly valued by residents and visitors for the sheer number and diversity of independent retailers that make it such a popular place for people to come and shop. So, I must admit to giving a small cheer when I read last week of the decision by North Norfolk District Council to reject an application by Tesco
to build a supermarket in the centre of Sheringham (a small town on the North Sea coast) because, amongst other things, they felt it would harm the local independent traders. Now, I would be the first to recognise the benefits that the Tescos and Sainsburys of this world have brought to consumers over the years in terms of improved choice and value for money. However, I, along with a great many of my fellow councillors, am becoming increasingly frustrated with the growing influence that they are exerting in Brighton and Hove. For example, we are seeing an increasing number of smaller ‘Express’ style stores popping up across the city which invariably apply for late licenses to sell alcohol. Well, in common with many towns and
[re ‘Does the A27 Brighton Bypass need a spring clean?’, News, L7 463] Dear Phil, as a regular car driver along the Brighton by-pass from the Hangleton link intersection through to Hastings, during the last eight years I have noticed the increasing volume of rubbish lining the Brighton Bypass, especially in the last two to three years, and mainly between Hangleton and the Beddingham roundabout. I believe the worst culprits are the container lorries that transport household rubbish from council waste sites in Brighton, Hove and Shoreham. These lorries should, in theory, have nets stretched across the top of the containers to prevent rubbish being sucked out during transit but it is obvious these nets are not always fitted or are fitted incorrectly. The increasing volume of rubbish appearing along the Brighton Byass is either caused by more litter generally or the Highways Agency has cut back to save money. Employing people who are subject to Community Service orders is certainly a good idea but my guess is that this work is considered much too dangerous! Urgent action needs to be taken to tackle this unsightly mess. Mike, by email When are we going to hear more from your 70-year-old columnist? I loved reading about her escapades at the blood doning clinic, so funny and so refreshing! Laura Davies, by email Good news, Laura: Ruby Grimshaw begins a weekly column for Latest 7 on p 5. Enjoy!

cities across the country we have a real problem with alcohol-related health problems and anti-social behaviour and in my opinion, the last thing we should be doing is making it easier for people to get hold of cheap (and strong) drink. Unfortunately, our licensing powers as a local authority are not sufficient to prevent them from doing this – which is another story altogether! I am not on a crusade against the ‘big four’ supermarkets but what I do want to do is to ensure that our many small independent traders are able to compete with them on a level playing field. This is a bit of a David Vs Goliath situation but I strongly believe that, for our continued economic prosperity, we mustn’t allow Brighton and Hove to develop into just another clone town.

“
The Brighton Fringe is my favourite time of the year: it’s what the city is all about. I like the way the anticipation builds up throughout the year until it reaches a crescendo in May. One of our new Fringe venues this year is The Marwood, a new café in the Lanes and one of my favourites. It’s very quirky, bohemian and funky and during the Fringe it’ll be hosting an interactive show called The Deadly Sins of Palilalia that sounds pretty amazing

Nick Stockman, pictured having breakfast at new Fringe venue the Marwood Café on Ship Street, is executive manager of the Brighton Fringe. He is just entering the busiest three months of his year – during the 25 days of the Fringe Festival, which lasts from May 123, he will be working every night.

ir Pul McCartney and girlfriend Nancy Shevell dropped into intimate basement venue Audio last Tuesday to see Macca’s son James play to just 70 people, including many of his old school friends. The pair appeared out of nowhere at her side (Nancy looking very much the rock chick having arrived straight from a Paris fashion show) but soon made themselves known by dancing, cheering and capturing every moment on a hand-held video camera. It was the first time Macca had seen his son play live, but he knew every word of every song. After James had sung the final line, ‘I love you Dad, more than you can know,’ Sir Paul called out, ‘I love you too’. Afterwards the pair waved and allowed fans to take photos before jumping into his car and heading back to Peasmarsh. (Read our review of the gig on p 23)

Oscars night saw Katie attending Elton John's famous annual post-Oscars party.

But Julie’s highlights were definitely seeing all the stars heading into the Vanity Fair party.

Back in the headlines this week is Hove resident Zoe Ball, who has been papped out and about jogging in the city after giving birth to little Nelly less than two months ago! The mother of two has already lost a whopping two since January and, speaking in a recent interview, told how she was given a rather saucy reason to lose all the baby weight. The incentive in question is, according to Zoe, “a bunk-up with Norman every time I lose a stone”. “I got on the scales last week and thought: Ooh, it’s treat time!” she went on, “but we haven’t been brave enough to get to that stage yet!” Zoe piled on an additional four stone whilst pregnant with Nelly – pushing her weight up to 16 stone – and has admitted that while pregnant she was “eating enough for five. Zoe also revealed that she is just like everybody else and recently joined Slimming World – yes, Zoe, I have been there – and is already seeing the results, teamed with a fitness regime of an exercise bike and doing weights looking out to sea. Zoe, it seems, prefers to cycle inside – not like new next door neighbour David Walliams, who has just biked in a relay from John O’Groats in Scotland to Lands End in Cornwall – all for Sport Relief.
HOLLY GOES HIGHBROW Burgess Hill bird Holly Willoughby has revealed that the most nervewracking interview of her career so far was... no, not Jason from Dancing On Ice, but Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The This Morning presenter said that the meeting “silenced critics” of her serious presenting skills – “I knew it was the ultimate test for me”, she tweeted.

Dull times ahead will give Aries time to set some things in order. Why not clear out your cutlery drawer and sort out those knives rather then using them to stab in the back. Taureans will be having a dull time too. Not to worry, spring is not far away and you could do far worse than sorting out a programme for sowing some wild oats. Geminis can fight the current astral ennui by making a list of all of their shortcomings. That should keep some of you busy until well into April, if not longer.
Cancerians hate boredom more than anything else and must be careful not to allow the lack of something real to do to lead them to mischief. Hands on heads, Cancers, and stand in a corner. Grrrrrrr Leo, now is the time to take a snooze, nothing much will happen this week. You could however take this time to call and apologise to people you may have upset. Virgos will make the most of this lull in activity by sorting out the contents of their bottom drawers. Take everything out, replace the moth balls and have a good weep.
Librans will be incapable of accepting that there is nothing to do. Most Librans will start to invent pressing work, engagements and deadlines. Why not, practice makes perfect. Scorpio should use this time to take stock of what they contribute to the world on both a local and global scale. Is your carbon footprint in check? No? Well get it sorted bad boy. Peak season for Sagis as boredom is their idea of heaven. Right now Sagis everywhere will be enjoying doing nothing with an added verve and sense of purposelessness.

Capricorns will come under much scrutiny this week as the devil makes work for idle hoofs. If you are planning to get up to no good then be aware – WE ARE WATCHING YOU! Aquarians reject the concept of boredom completely and have rebranded it as blue sky time, or meditation, depending on if you live in Brighton or Lewes. No time for boredom for Pisces.

L7 INTERVIEW 11
“I WANT TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE... MYSELF” Master impressionist Rory Bremner chats to Bella Todd as he hits the election campaign trail
I
n contrast to the vivid political and cultural characters he has impersonated for the last 20 years – a vampiric Michael Howard here, a granite-grinned Tony Blair there – it’s often assumed that Rory Bremner himself must be rather bland. Well, he may live in Oxfordshire and have to dash off to a parents’ evening mid flow. But he recently uncovered a fascinating family history, his house holds stranger sights than the White Witch’s castle in Narnia, and he conceived one daughter while in character as the then PM. More importantly, his bold reaction to having his Channel 4 budget cut by 80 per cent last year has been to start exploring more personal forms of comedy – hence the communityminded format of his new tour. We caught up with Rory as the Gordon Brown bullying allegations continued to hold headlines... How are you coping with the new voices in politics? We are facing, looking down the barrel, of people like Philip Hammond and Andrew Lansley, where people barely know their names, let alone what they sound like. We’ve had the Blairs and the Bushes and the Blunketts and the William Hagues, and now there’s just Louis Walsh really! The joke I do about Nick Clegg at the moment is, “I met Nick Clegg the other day and he said to me, ‘Rory, can you do me?’ And I said, ‘no, can you?’” As someone said, it’s the bland leading the bland. So in some ways this tour is like the last celebration of the characters... What’s your concept for the Election Battlebus tour? I’ve gone deliberately for slightly smaller venues, and a lot of the places are marginal constituencies. Hove is certainly marginal, and Brighton Pavilion is up for grabs with Caroline Lucas standing. In the second half I’m going to involve one or two of the candidates and some local personalities, and have a sort of Question Time thing. Because there are, at the moment, what they call the juggernaut comedians, the Russell Brands and the Ricky Gervaises... the big touring ocean-going liners. This isn’t that kind of a tour. What I really enjoy more and more is meeting people. And I’m excited about doing the odd stunt when I’m on the road, like dressing up as Gordon Brown and going canvassing... Do you feel sorry for Gordon Brown at the moment? I do feel sorry for him. You know, he’s only got one eye, he hasn’t slept for 10 years, English isn’t even his first language... he’s extremely careworn. But he was the person who said over the banks, ‘we need to get a grip on this’. The Americans didn’t know what they were doing. Somebody asked them, why did you go for a $700 billion bail out? The guy from the treasury answered, ‘We just wanted a really big number’. Gordon Brown came along and said, ‘I’ll deal with this, it’s all very boring and dull, I’m the man’. And he hasn't been given credit for that. Is he a bully? Oh God. I think he has a passionate side. I mean, you've only to see his fingernails to see how frustrated he gets. I think he takes the job of Prime Minister so seriously, which is something Blair never did. Blair, like him or loathe him – and I wasn’t a big fan of Blair – at least wore it quite lightly. He didn't walk out of Downing Street looking like he was carrying the world on his shoulders, he looked like he was off to have an espresso in Carluccio’s.
You took part in the genealogy documentary Who Do You Think You Are? last year. Has it changed you? There were two things I was worried about: that I’d find out my grandfather was in Auschwitz but on the wrong side (oh God, how embarrassing!) or that they’d come back and say, we looked at your family and they’re so boring that we’re going to make a programme about Geoff Hoon instead. I hadn’t really known my father. He was a professional soldier, and he’d had such excitement, for want of a better word, in the trenches in northern France. Those were the times of his life, and I think family life must have seemed really rather boring after that. So he was away a lot; and we also found this very touching letter that my great grandfather had written to his three children, saying goodbye because he was moving to Bermuda to work as a surgeon. When I’m off on tour and saying goodbye to the children, it does bring that home. My great grandfather actually delivered a baby on the front during the Crimean War, using his clasp knife in the freezing cold. By comparison, I’m really quite wet. I’m an Aries, so I’m
“Ours is the only garden in Oxfordshire that has hippos in it”
sort of impetuous and I like to do things well, but we live in different times. I haven’t been called upon to go to Helmand or Iraq. Hove is my front – and it is a front, isn’t it! You were one of the big interrogators of the Iraq war... Watching the Chilcot inquiry, I thought, ‘now where have I heard this before?’ In 2004 we were writing all this stuff while the war was going on, inventing a world we thought might exist in Downing Street – the characterisation of Tony Blair and this sofa government. Six years later, it seems it was real. John Bird and John Fortune had the same thing over the bankers’ bonuses – what they were playing for comedy was actually playing out for tragedy in real life. What surprises me most about Iraq is that on the show we had a couple of very good researchers who were finding parallels with the 1920s and the incredible ambition of the American government to go to war. It always surprised me that people in the government, who had infinitely more resources, weren't able to draw those parallels too. Is it true you conceived your second daughter, Lila, while dressed as... Tony Blair? We were very late filming one day and I had to rush home because we had some friends round for supper, so I just kept the make-up on and jumped into the car... rang the doorbell – because of course Blair wouldn’t have a key – and sat down to some rather bemused guests. Afterwards my wife just said, ‘oh don’t worry, just leave the make-up on and come to bed’. So I think it was more laziness than anything... stranger. Your wife, Tessa Campbell Fraser, is a sculptor – does her work have anything in common with yours? She’s had some stuff at Cass Sculpture Foundation down in Goodwood, and she has a studio in the garden because she works with tonnes of clay at a time. As you come down our driveway there’s a large polar bear with a dancer on the back of it, and ours is the only garden in Oxfordshire that has hippos in it. We’re both artists, and we both feel most fulfilled when we’re working. And yes, I guess she is also representational, she is figurative. Actually I think she’d like to get away from that, she’d like to do something looser, and I’m wanting to go into different types of comedy and be a little bit more... myself. Are you planning to make any more documentaries? I love cricket, and I’d really love to go and spend some time in Bradford – somewhere with a very large Pakistani and Muslim community, where the whole agenda is about community and cricket and life, and not the ‘war on terror’ and fear of burkas. I might do one about Roman roads too. I turned down a reality show the other day. It sounded like a very cold version of I’m A Celebrity... I was leant on very hard, but after thinking very long and hard I thought, no, I really don’t want to do that. I really don’t want to be filmed freezing in my underpants in a jacuzzi next to somebody from Footballers Wives. Have you ever had the impulse to go into politics? I’m in it already in a way. But I couldn’t hold an opinion for more than three seconds. I try not to get too close to the politicians. You need to keep an eye on them and you do need to ask the odd favour. But if I do get close, I always leave with a tremendous feeling of relief that I’m not part of that world every day and every night. Rory Bremner’s Election Battlebus is at The Old Market, Hove, on Tuesday 23 March. 01273 736222, www.theoldmarket.co.uk

IT’S A WRAP
Desperate to get into that bikini but don’t dare to bare? Lose the inches with the Universal Contour Wrap at Beauty Secrets
W
orldwide, most women are obsessed with their bodies: too fat, too thin, too curvy, too straight... are we ever happy? Yes. When American Doctor Richard Strem, after much research into the benefits harnessed from minerals used in spa treatments, developed the use of a unique sea clay formula to flush out the body’s toxins, us girls went crazy for the clay. Strem believed that by using a unique blend of mineral-rich clay and specialist bodywrapping techniques – what is today called the Universal Contour Wrap – the body can be deeply detoxified to create instant and lasting inch loss. This revolutionary contour wrap guarantees that you will lose at least six inches in just two hours... not convinced?Just one treatment boasts an
average loss of between 10 to 14 inches and has had women flocking from afar to try it out. While it is not unusual to go down a complete dress size over a course of three treatments, the Universal Contour Wrap is not just for people who are overweight. Anyone who is looking to kick-start their slimming plan or target those stubborn areas in their quest for the perfect figure can benefit. The wrapping process supports and shapes your body, and the contouring effect is enhanced by special techniques adapted to target areas such as the thighs, buttocks, tummy and chest. While cleansing and exfoliating your skin, the wrap detoxifies the body, tightens loose tissue and reduces the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks. A treatment combines the unique mineral-rich solution with warm clay-soaked bandages, which are tightly wrapped around the entire body to help aid the extraction of toxins from beneath the skin, while actively compressing soft, fatty tissues. Once the bandages are applied, you sit back and relax and let the treatment work its magic. The treatment takes just under two hours including before and after measurements so that inch loss can be calculated. A course of three wraps is recommended for maximum benefits and results can be maintained up to one month. The Universal Contour Wrap is available Beauty Secrets Salon & Spa, 65 Western Road, Hove, 01273 822476, www.beautysecretssalonandspa.co.uk

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD & DRINK 15
Food & Drink Andrew Kay hits the road for a lunch at Baloos Restaurant and Bar in Woodmancote
Bear necessity T
he last time I walked through the door at Baloos it was a very different experience and many years ago, too. Back then it was a country roadside pub serving bar meals. Remember them? The age of chicken in a basket and the ploughman’s platter. It was a cold day back then, as it was on this occasion, and I clearly remember enjoying a bowl of hot soup, simply because it was Heinz tomato, so what could be wrong? Things could not be more different now. No longer a pub, not even a gastro pub, Baloos is a country restaurant. After our short drive over Devil’s Dyke we were ready for a spot of lunch but had little idea of what to expect. Inside we found a roaring log burning stove and leather sofas, so we were immediately comfortable and warm. Baloos is spotlessly clean. I seldom comment on that, but this place sparkled, and coming from the kitchen were the aromas of real cooking: smells that cannot be generated by the whir, click and ping of banks of microwaves. We started with a fruit juice – how restrained were we? – and looked at the menus. Mr R was happy with choices from the set lunch menu at £10 for two course and £13 for three. I decided to tackle the à la carte but was led off piste by a small board of specials. Not planning to drink a lot, we declined a bottle of wine and instead had glasses from the more than adequate selection sold by the glass. When our food was ready we went through to the table in the conservatory. It was sunny and bright, and the room was pleasingly full for a cold Saturday. Mr R started with potted pork. Shredded and basking in melted butter, his pork was well seasoned and “I don’t give stars – I came with toasted bread that had been made in the kitchen. leave that to Mr Winner, He loved it and the small morsel I managed to wrestle although he doesn’t give from his clutches proved his judgement. My salad of crayfish many – but I do highly on pickled cucumber with minted yogurt certainly hit the recommend Baloos” spot and was so prettily plated. It was a light and delicate pickle too; a perfect dish to have before my next choice. And why? Because the confit duck was a massive portion and really well made – again in the kitchen, and not the tinned stuff too many places serve. This was aromatic and savoury with crisp skin and succulent flesh. The sauté potatoes were golden and crisp and the French beans came wrapped in nice bacon. All in all, a first class plate of food. Mr R was equally impressed by a salmon fillet in Cajun spices served with stir-fried noodles and vegetables – another generous dish from the bargain lunchtime menu. For dessert, he was very quick to choose bread and butter pudding with home-made ice cream. Wow, that ice cream was good, as was the cherry and kirsch sorbet that came with my lemon tart. Sadly, the pastry was less refined, but given the exceptional quality of the rest of the meal I was ready to forgive them this one tiny flaw. I later discovered that the person normally in charge of pastry was absent and the chef, a self-confessed disaster in the pastry stakes, had weighed in.
We finished with coffee and I would have been happy to go back to the leather sofas and snooze whilst pretending to read a magazine; that was how relaxing the atmosphere is at Baloos. Open Tuesday through to Sunday for lunch and dinner, and with a Sunday roast menu each week, Baloos deserves to be filled to the gunnels. And we were not the only ones to think so: all around us there were smiling faces. Owners Amanda and Chris (who is also head chef) are doing a great job. Chris has real talent and a passion for local produce – even striking a deal with a local farmer where he grows some of the produce they use. His ice creams are top notch, and Baloos do not have a greedy wine list: Ridgeview sparkling is marked up sensibly to make it a delicious and affordable choice. I don’t give stars – I leave that to Mr Winner, although he doesn’t give many – but I do highly recommend Baloos. Baloos Restaurant and Bar, Wheatsheaf Road, Woodmancote, nr Henfield, West Sussex, BN5 9BD, 01273 492077, www.baloos.co.uk

L7 WHAT’S ON Mad cows T Dumb Show at The Hawth takes a comic look at the nature of celebrity
ravelling repertory theatre Creative Cow aim to present the best in classic playwriting with imaginative and accomplished performances. The West Country-based company has connections with Sussex too: one of the founding members, Jonathan Parish, is from Burgess Hill and attended Haywards Heath Community College. After drama school he co-founded Creative Cow
STAGE 17
> Tuesday 16 to Monday 22 March> with Amanda Knott (director) and Katherine Senior (actor). The company returns to The Hawth Studio in April with Dumb Show, a dark comedy by award-winning writer Joe Penhall. Dumb Show follows TV comic Barry (Jack Hulland), known to millions as ‘Mr Saturday Night’, who hopes to laugh all the way to the bank when he’s approached by two financial executives promising fat fees. As the jokes and the champagne flow in a luxury hotel, Barry is lured into giving a candid account of his life and views, and a tense game of power and manipulation ensues.
4
Stage Dumb Show asks how far will people go to destroy a celebrity? And is there such a thing as privacy when the whole world knows you? Where did the name Creative Cow come from? Well, the headquarters and rehearsal space for the Devonbased company are on a farm, full of cows! At least one question’s been answered... Dumb Show, The Hawth Studio, Crawley, Friday 16 & Saturday 17 April, 7.45pm, 01293 553636. www.hawth.co.uk
Wilde one Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime takes Lee Mead to Worthing
F
or those of you who missed this camp period piece during its run at the Theatre Royal Brighton, there is now a chance to catch it in Worthing as the starry cast, including Any Dream Will Do star Lee Mead, Gary Wilmot and Kate O’Mara, continue their tour. Mead plays Lord Arthur, who is told by a society clairvoyant that he will commit a murder. The ensuing silliness shows Oscar Wilde at his bitchiest and, although slight, it offers a very engaging evening’s entertainment. Gary Wilmot is superb, Kate O’Mara frightfully grand, and Lee meads grows in the role as the evening goes on. It’s well worth a visit if you enjoy Wildean wit.

PETER GREEN Legendary and much-loved guitarist who made his mark with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers before forming Fleetwood Mac in 1967. We’re talking pre-Rumours here, when their soulful blues-rock saw them smash the charts on a number of occasions, most famously with ‘Albatross’. However, at the turn of the ‘70s Green had a mental breakdown and effectively became an eccentric recluse, even going so far as to refuse royalty cheques! Slowly but surely though, he’s re-established himself as one of the most articulate of guitarists and a superb songwriter to boot. Wednesday 17 March, Komedia

THE MOJO FINS Melodic local indie act who released The Sounds That I Still Hear album last year. New single ‘Meet Me At The Pictures’ contains a line about meeting at the Duke of York’s, and lo and behold, they’re playing there! The ever-so colourful whimsy of The Half Sisters is in support. Saturday 20 March, Duke of York’s
MARLENA SHAW Now pushing 70, Shaw first came to notice in the mid-’60s signing to the Chess label, followed by a spell with Blue Note – she was the first ever female recording artist to be signed by them. Two particular tracks have kept her in the public eye: ‘Woman Of The Ghetto’ was sampled for the ‘90s club smash ‘Remember Me’, while ‘California Soul’ keeps doing the rounds in various guises. A living legend. Support comes from up and coming soul-blues singer Jo Harman. Monday 22 March, Concorde 2
AT-MA A rich blend of world groove, sacred chants, evocative lyrics and harmonies, this co-artist project includes singer Russell Stone, film composer and musician Craig Pruess (Harry Potter, Bend It Like Beckham) and tabla maestro Tom Simenauer. Stone has developed a form of singing called ‘sounding’, a way of singing without words, which has a profound and therapeutic impact on people. Juliet Russell and the Vocal Explosion Choir and Voices That Carry are also on the bill. Saturday 20 March, St Nicholas Church
PASTURES NEW Pack your tent for Meadowlands Festival, the event set to rock the Lewes countryside this May bank holiday
B
righton may be a groovy city – the place to be, as it was once billed – but it also has some fantastic countryside on its doorstep, with the rolling South Downs and the picturesque Weald. But while Beachdown’s decision to place an ambitious festival on top of a windy hill may have been a poor one, Meadowlands are taking an altogether more organic approach. “Brighton deserves an event that has longevity,” says Lee Bennett, one of Meadowland’s organisers. “The place is bursting with talent and creativity. When we were offered Glynde Place we couldn’t turn it down. It’s too good an opportunity. And now Viscount Hampden (the landlord), aka Frank, has become a good friend.” Over 400 years old, Glynde Place, like many other country piles, is financially difficult to maintain, and so has opened its doors to events all year round, most notably the Glynde Food and Drink Festival. “It needs to bring in the revenue,” says Lee, “and Frank, since taking over the estate, has been looking at new ideas.” Meadowlands has been bubbling up to this moment, the fruition of an idea spawned a few years ago. “It started on my mum’s farm, but that is way out near Heathfield, and we thought it would be hard to do a festival in a field... which it was! We lost loads of money the first year, less so the next.” From there it migrated to Glynde Place and, last year, saw two one-day events organised by Lee and
friends: The Riverbank Tea Party and the September Sound Harvest. The success of these events encouraged Lee and his business partner Marco Pitt to go for a two-day festival, with camping. “We’ve got financial backing, most of it private, but we’re continually looking for sponsors. The last two years we’ve had to fight for any sponsorship, but recently it seems to be turning around and people can see it can be a viable festival.” Indeed it looks that way as the line-up starts to take shape and word spreads. The line-up features a healthy smattering of local talent including the likes of Transformer, Gloria Cycles, Bellows, The Perils, Cordelia Fellowes, Los Albertos, Kalakuta Millionaires, Mountain Firework Company and The Hot Club of Belleville. From further afield come The Bays and The North Sea Radio Orchestra, with some special guest headliners to be announced. “With Frank’s backing, the licence applications have gone very smoothly,” says Lee, ever aware of the conditions that can be placed by all licensing authorities, including the police, on events such as these. “Our focus is to provide a clean, safe and family-friendly environment, but with the option for people to go a bit crazy too.” Meadowlands Festival, Glynde Place, Lewes, 29–30 May. www.meadowlandsfestival.com

It’s so high security it’s on its own island, 11 miles off the coast of Boston. What would be the point of escaping when there’s nowhere to go? You may well ask, but things get even more curious as Chuck and Teddy find blank faces and tight lips at every turn and a sinister suspicion that all is not what it seems. Then a hurricane hits the island, even more patients escape and Teddy is soon unsure if he can trust anyone – even his partner and his own sanity! Visions will do that to a person...

THE HUMBLE QUEST FOR A UNIVERSAL GENIUS
I
t has often been said in recent years that there are a darn lot of comedy nights around Brighton. They have sprung up like daffodils: each welcome, but not necessarily any different from the one next door. Not that that’s a bad thing – we like a proven working formula. But even more than that, we like a new idea. Enter The Humble Quest For Universal Genius. Its first outing in February brought something new to this comedy city. The format is something like a ramped-up quiz show, with two circuit comics pitted against each other to find a renaissance person for the 21st century. Just because everyone thinks they’re good at everything doesn’t necessarily mean that they are. Bruce Willis, we remember those mid ‘90s albums... This comedy night is hosted by Powerpoint whiz – and Brighton and Edinburgh festivals old hand – Mark Allen. The two comics in the hot seat to find the elusive talent this month are Joey Page (as heard on BBC Radio 7 and a Brighton regular with his own monthly show at Upstairs At Three And Ten) and the delightful Michael Fabbri, loved by the press and the festivals. Both, luckily for us, know this neck of the woods well, so be prepared for local angles. Last month’s inaugural show was ram-packed with challenges to the players’ poetry, wit and sense of the surreal, with impersonations and an unusual version of Guess Who making appearances. Who’d’ve thought we could get this much high-calibre creativity at such a bargain price mid-month? Thank you kindly for disregarding the box as you’re designed to think outside of it. The Humble Quest For A Universal Genius, Komedia, Thursday 18 March, 8pm, £6/4. Joey Page follow me on twitter

REVIEWS 23 Picture: Keith Trigwell
L7 Under review Read more reviews of local shows online at www.thelatest.co.uk HEDDA GABLER Rosamund Pike’s Hedda is a cruel and beautiful beast. As she stalked the stage with flickering eyes, her powercrazed motives were thinly veiled, but her beauty so alluring that all fell under her spell. It was a magnificent performance, matched by Robert Glenister’s Tesman, the spoilt manchild awestruck at winning her as his bride. His jabbering enthusiasm and hopelessness balanced Pike’s controlling frigidity. As Judge Brack, Tim McInnerny effectively held back the lascivious nature of his role until near the climax. Colin Tierney’s Lovborg was manic and desperate. Anna Carteret as Aunt Juliana was the voice of unquestioning compliance and tradition. Together they built a dense, claustrophobic atmosphere that allowed Ibsen’s portrayal of a society on the edge of moral melt-down. Theatre Royal Brighton, 8 March ✪✪✪✪✪ Andrew Kay
JAMES MCCARTNEY Here comes the son: James McCartney has a somewhat famous dad, but now’s the time to carve his own niche. That said, he’s happy to acknowledge the effect iconic musicians have had on him, and at this intimate gig he announced different influences as often as he changed instruments (which was pretty much every song). He let the songs speak for themselves, whether it was the sweeping ‘My Friend’, or the thoughtful, jaunty ‘I Love You Dad’. Occasionally, he was able to surrender entirely to channelling Pop’s sense of pop, as in the bombastic ‘Spirit Guide’. This kid’s got wings. Audio, 8 March ✪✪✪✪✪ Andrew Allen (To read about Macca’s surprise appearance see Celebcity p 9)
MIKA Pop pixie Mika could be the love child of Prince and Kate Bush. In a set running at over 90 minutes he filled the cavernous space with a sense of real joy. Brilliant visuals and effects added to the whole but were never allowed to detract from the truth that this was pure pop at its very best. Mika writes great songs with witty lyrics, dips them in glitter and then fires them at his audience through a huge entertainment canon. The audience, from seven to seventy, was enthralled. Brighton Centre, 3 March ✪✪✪✪✪ Andrew Kay
RUSSELL KANE'S FAKESPEARE: THE TRAGIKAL SAVEINGS OF KING NIGEL This was the most refreshing and intelligent piece of comedy theatre I’ve seen in a long time. Russell Kane turns the notion of modernising Shakespeare (drama students performing Othello in rap – shudder) on its head, and tells a modern story of a recession hit banker and his “New Look sale rack wench”, Donna of Billericay, in perfect Shakespearian blank verse. It was full to bursting with clever jokes and references to our celebrity obsessed, iPhone-driven world, given greater impact by the form in which they were delivered. Kane has created something truly unique. Komedia, 28 February ✪✪✪✪✪ Angela Barnes
BANE II A pastiche of film noir, black comedy and comic strip action made this fast-paced one-man show (and guitarist) seriously brilliant. Each and every scene from the award-winning Joe Bone packed in deft details of acute accents and mannerisms for hench men, gangsters, mutant monsters and a cat, to tell a classic revenge tale of hired hit man Bruce Bane’s ‘hits’ (both at and by). Add in mime for those imaginary steps, door locking and monster wading, and this was one exciting gig, original with a capital O. You’d have to be a damn fool to miss Bane III. Upstairs At Three And Ten, 6 March ✪✪✪✪✪ Monica Perdoni
STIFF LITTLE FINGERS Following an electric set from Pauline Murray’s original North East punkers Penetration, Stiff Little Fingers kicked off their latest tour with the timely ‘Wasted Life’. Jake Burns confessed to being 52 years old before launching into ‘At The Edge’, which got the predominately male and 40-plus crowd moshing like a bunch of teenagers. ‘Barbed Wire Love’, dedicated to the late Michael Foot, followed a surprising but well executed cover of The Specials’ ‘Doesn’t Make It Alright’. New songs such as ‘Lions Club’ were as well received as the classics and, as they finished with ‘Johnny Was’ and the timeless ‘Alternative Ulster’, everyone left very sweaty and happy.

IT’S A NASH UP KATE NASH Komedia 8 March ✪✪✪✪✪
H
aving put on Kate Nash’s first Brighton headline show three years ago, Lout Promotions pulled off a coup with this exclusive intimate show that sold out almost immediately. It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Ms Nash and it’s hard to believe she’s still only 22. In her absence, Lily Allen has both conquered the pop world and withdrawn from it, while Marina and Ellie have started selling out larger venues. So, what would Kate do next? Judging by this performance, another rival, or maybe inspiration, appears to be The Ting Tings. The audience of young kids, old kids and dads with daughters clapped along as Kate and her band marched on to carnival Bontempi beats. Kicking off with ‘You’ll Never Listen’ – the opening track of the forthcoming album (My Best Friend Is You, out 19 April) – her voice and intonation seemed to be the same, as was the arpeggio piano style. Another newie, ‘Do Wah Doo’ showcased the ‘60s girl group sound she has been referring to in interviews, while old favourite ‘Mouthwash’ brought on the first crowd singalong and ‘Kiss That
Girl’ introduced an edgier, indie sound that remained throughout the set. Unfortunately, this was also the case with the sound mix, which meant the drums often drowned out everything else. There was plenty of betweensong banter and, following a raucous ‘Take Me To A Higher Plane’, Kate asked everyone to calm down, as it was only a Monday. Her MySpace legacy continues, with fans seeing themselves more as friends. ‘I Hate Seagulls’, was sung solo with guitar, and all were encouraged to join in for ‘I’ve Got A Secret’ about “homophobic pricks”. This trippy chant turned into a great punky racket with Kate sounding surprisingly like Poly Styrene, a theme continued into the next song. ‘R & B Side’ kicked off with funky fatback drums and a dissing of said genre. ‘Merry Happy’ was a reminder of the classic Kate Nash sound with the piano taking a hammering. We were told there would be no encore and there wasn’t, but ‘I Just Love You More’ was a riproaring Nirvana-esque end. She’s still very much a Marmite act, but I like Marmite. Steve Clements

Marathon Mary hits the psychological pain barrier
With Victoria Nangle
S
Mind the gap
ince the half marathon I have developed marathon fatigue. Not in the physical sense – the recognised condition where your body simply refuses to keep running past the 18/20 mile point, also known as The Wall. Apparently the solutions to that are nutrition, carb loading, regular glucose intake and not trying to show off by starting out a long run at a pace you can’t possibly maintain. My problem is more psychological. I haven’t attempted running anywhere near 18 miles for three weeks. I’m losing my focus and fed up of my programme. An “Nothing has had a apathetic wall, if you like. I’ve been training hard for six months now. I’ve run when more dramatic and it was so windy that, when I was running west, I had to turn debilitating effect on my head 180 degrees just to my life except the final take a breath. I’ve run in the dark, in the early morning, the year of university and day after a friend’s birthday falling in love” party, through snow, ice, and hangovers. I’ve been on 15 mile runs where the first five miles have been spent on the verge of turning home. I’ve missed social events and work events and I barely see my family. I’ve been ill three times in two months and I’ve taken to coming home from work once a week and going straight to bed at 7pm. Nothing has had a more dramatic and debilitating effect on my life except for the final year of university and falling in love. This week I am obsessed by how far everyone else has covered. A straw poll of people I know planning to do the marathon has drawn longest runs of: 14 miles, 15 miles, 18 miles and four miles. My longest was 17 miles, but that was before the half marathon and the last mile was walking. This weekend I’m going to try my first 20. Now we are in the last five week stretch to the big day, I know that the month ahead is the most crucial period of the preparation. There’s no question that I’ll finish the race – I’ve trained hard and long enough and if I have to I will walk, hop and scramble the final miles. When I signed up, my target was to finish in four-and-a-half hours. Now I’ll be happy if I manage to run the whole course, escape injury and can still walk the day after. I keep hearing about people who have injured themselves during training and I know I’m lucky to have escaped so far. I also know that if I manage to cover one really long run this week it will give me that sense of personal victory I need to get me motivated again. I’ve stuck the marathon route on my bedroom wall in the hope that one day it will spur me out of bed at dawn for a run before work. It hasn’t worked so far, but if I’ve learned one thing about training for a marathon, it’s that it’s all about hope. I just hope I can kick my backside sufficiently to get back on the road. The Brighton Marathon 2010 takes place on Sunday 18 April.

would like to blame Dan Brown for the mind-boggling state of some of our current American imports. No longer are they satisfied simply to entertain and engage us, but now they must be a mystery wrapped in an enigma surrounded by a question mark to get any kind of commissioning editor’s attention. I’m just saying – can anyone please give me an overview of what Lost was ever supposed to be about?
Puzzles are good. Don’t get me wrong. Hitchcock was a genius at putting questions I hadn’t thought I’d ever ask into my mind. (Does there really need to be a motive for murder other than arrogance? See Rope (1948) for further discussion.) But I always have faith he knows exactly what he is doing and where he is going. The unanswered questions are along the lines of: does intellect detatch and distort the owner’s relationship with the rest of humanity? As opposed to: what happened to the polar bear and why was it so cross? It is becoming increasingly difficult to show any allegiance to these seemingly organically construsted alternate worlds. At a few series in, there must be a doorstop of a continuity album, as the writers are obviously struggling as much as I am to remember exactly what clues went where and with whom.
What really gets my goat, however, is when, because of the American system of a mid-season break, we inherit these convoluted series in two installments. Arghhhhhhhh! I have difficulty enough holding all of the strings of the many plot possibilities in my mind for one week, let alone for several months! Lost has done this, but other culprits include Battlestar Gallactica (don’t even get me started on the whole constructed mythology that has devotees rivalling Jedi) and, more recently, FlashForward. This tale of what happens when everyone gets a glimpse of their future whilst in the throes of a mass blackout has a great cast, good writers and an interesting premise to start with. But if they hint at any more global conspiracies and don’t actually provide a big reveal by the end of this I may have to... write a strongly worded letter to the controller of Five. The thing is, I’m having to run a web search to even remember what was happening before the big cut off. I remember being peeved about not knowing what was happening next, some English cast members I was very pleased with the American accents of... and the rest sort of drifts off. That’s the problem with a compelling and complicated plot. And a MASSIVE gap in broadcast. On behalf of folks with not the longest of attention spans, I make this open plea to all channels to STOP BREAKING UP SERIES. I’d like to suggest delaying the broadcast of these shows until they’ve got the complete set in, like the old style Happy Families card game. Please. Otherwise I’m sure to deliver on my threat – and others will follow – of getting very confused. And simply giving up. FlashForward Series 1 returns to Five on Monday 22 March with a double episode at 9pm and 10pm. follow me on twitter

sunday 21 Boyzone Tribute To Stephen Gately ITV1, 8.30pm Boyzone host an evening celebrating the life of their bandmate, Stephen Gately, who tragically died last year. Special guests come from the world of pop – including Girls Aloud and Robbie Williams – and Stephen’s life off stage. A fitting tribute to a man who died far too young.
The Restoration Man Channel 4, 9pm A bit like Grand Designs, but with more planning permission. George Clarke travels the length of the country meeting people who want to restore architectural treasures. The series kicks off with Mark Horton’s story of buying an 18th century folly to turn into a luxury family home. Expect doubts and rewards.
Trophy Kids More 4, 10.10pm Part of the Cutting Edge series, focusing on the relationships between four sets of parents and their talented sporting children. Much has been made of the stage parent before, but what of the sports parent? As they sacrifice all to propel them to success, is it really worth it for either generation? Interesting.
