Black Honey, Benjamin Zephaniah, & more

B

righton is the home of all things creative, so it’s hardly a surprise that Brightonsfinest’s big story this week is the success of homegrown talent Black Honey. The band’s rise (soon seeing them support Queens Of The Stone Age in London) is explored, and more. Add to this the latest album reviews, music news, live reviews, and gig listings to keep you abreast of the city’s bubbling music scene.

This side of the magazine is very excited to bring you an exclusive interview with the acclaimed and highly influential poet Benjamin Zephaniah, ahead of his Brighton Fringe show at The Old Market at the end of the month. He befriended Nelson Mandela, fought in the 1980s race riots and recorded radical and relevant reggae music with Bob Marley’s former band, and speaks to me about witnessing history, a poet’s role in changing times, and being poetry roasted (like a comedy roast but with poetry) by school children.

For landlords and tenants considering a change, you may have seen Harringtons Lettings around but this is a chance to find out a little more as the company introduces itself as the lettings specialist it is – and explains the advantages to working with people with only lettings on their minds.

Plus – and all of your foodies have been waiting on tenterhooks for this one – Andrew Kay visits the brand new Ivy in the Lanes restaurant, sampling the prestigious eatery’s delights in its first venture outside of the capital.

Plus more to do in Brighton, and more to watch on TV. Loads!

HELLO HARRINGTONS...

Get to know one of the city’s leading lettings agencies better Who are Harringtons Lettings?

Set up by Mark Harrington in 1993, Harringtons are an independent letting agent who have been operating across Brighton and Hove for the last 25 years. Their current team are all experienced property professionals with over 40 years of experience combined. Emma Gretton manages the lettings team who deal with marketing, viewings and valuations. Rachel Erridge manages the administration team who deal with all aspects of the move in process and the day­to­day property management. Mark Harrington runs the acquisitions department helping landlords maximise their investments as well as providing advice on purchasing and selling.

“ As Harringtons are an independent agent they are able to tailor make their services to suit each landlord’s requirements ”

How are Harringtons different to other agents?

Harringtons Lettings are one of the only independent specialist letting agents in Brighton and Hove. By purely focusing on lettings they are able to guarantee an expert, consistent, quality and transparent service to all landlords and tenants. They ensure their clients’ service is never jeopardised by having designated members of staff dealing with certain aspects of the business.

LATEST TV | VIRGIN MEDIA 159 | FREEVIEW CHANNEL 7

Why do Harringtons stand out from other agents?

They require every tenant to have a guarantor to ensure that the rent is paid, and if there are any other problems then they have a direct contact to liaise with. They have been doing this for many years and it means that they do not often deal with arrears – and it also ensures landlords are covered for any eventuality whilst keeping their costs low.

How do you guarantee a personalised service?

As Harringtons are an independent agent they are able to tailor make their services to suit each landlord’s requirements. Being a small yet efficient team, they are able to develop longstanding relationships with their clients. With the lettings industry being dominated by corporate agents with call centre style departments, Harringtons can guarantee that their landlords only ever deal with a handful of people and can rest assure knowing the staff member knows them, their property and its history. You speak to local people who have comprehensive knowledge.

Are you interested in transferring your property to another letting agency?

Harringtons are finding more than ever landlords are arriving unhappy with their current letting agent, whether that be because they have merged with another agent, their property management department are no longer local, or their fees have increased.

Harringtons ensure that the transfer process runs as smoothly as possible by liaising directly with the other agent and tenants. They provide a comprehensive list of what they require to carry out the change and their administration team handle the rest.

Why not call Harringtons’ letting experts on 01273 724000 for a free advice or a valuation. Alternatively you can email at valuations@harringtonslettings.co.uk advertising feature

PROJECT BRIGHTON Seaside favourite returns to the rails – Volks Railway

V

olk’s Electric Railway are running trains for passengers again.

After a year and a half of work and over £1.65 million in investment the 135­year­old train will carry passengers along Brighton seafront between its new Visitor Centre, Workshop and Black Rock station.

“ The new conservation workshop

houses a working model showing the railway as it was in 1933 ”

To celebrate the start of a new chapter in Volk’s history, news reader and volunteer train driver Nicholas Owen officially opened the line on 30 March 2018.

The new Aquarium Station Visitor Centre is housing exhibits and learning about the history of the railway and its founder Magnus LATEST TV | VIRGIN MEDIA 159 | FREEVIEW CHANNEL 7

Volk, who built the railway in 1883. Magnus was a prolific inventor and designer who also created the ‘Daddy Longlegs’ which ran along tracks on the seabed, from Banjo Groyne to Rottingdean, powered by overhead electric cables.

The new conservation workshop houses a working model, showing the railway as it was in 1933, and has a public viewing gallery where visitors can watch the trains being worked on.

Alan Robins, chair of Brighton & Hove City Council’s tourism, development and culture committee, said: “It is great to have the Volk’s back on its tracks, it’s such a well­loved part of Brighton’s seafront; the seaside vista from the train is something to celebrate in itself.

“Magnus Volk was an amazing local inventor and the new workshop and visitor centre are ideal places to learn more about his life and the workings of his trains.”

A round trip of the railway takes around 30 minutes.

Train times ­ Monday­Friday 10.30am­5.30pm. Saturday­Sunday 10.30am­ 6.30pm. Trains approx. every 15 minutes.

BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH He befriended Nelson Mandela, fought in the 1980s race riots and recorded radical and relevant reggae music with Bob Marley’s former band. Benjamin Zephaniah speaks with Victoria Nangle ahead of his upcoming show at The Old Market.

Why do you think it is that poets' voices are preserved so well as to reflect the deeper emotions in history and society?

I think there are many reasons for this and those reasons depend on political events, cultural events, and then there are the personal events. The cultural and political may be obvious, but the personal is a lot more interesting.

historically as something to be heard, made its home on the page for such a long time, only sometimes moving into the performance arena?

I believe this is because when the printing press was invented only the power had access to it, and they turned poetry into a so called 'intellectual' pursuit. There are still many parts of the world where poetry is mainly seen as a spoken art form. In the west

“ The greatest poets are

acknowledged by the people, but the people don't make statues of them.

They can't get planning permission ” When a fellow human being is feeling pain, love, or even indifference, if it is expressed in an honest way, it will connect with many generations to come. Even if a poet expresses something relating to culture or politics, if it is honest it is more truer than the politician who is towing the party line and seeking promotion at best, or power at worst. Shelley said, “Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world”. I love Shelley, but I think they are only unacknowledged by people who are writing and controlling 'state' history.

The greatest poets are acknowledged by the people, but the people don't make statues of them. They can't get planning permission.

Why is it do you think that poetry, having started 10 | LATEST

it goes and comes with trends.

This tour ties in with your new autobiography. Your poetry and readings have had an immediacy in them, almost like keeping diaries over the years, perhaps. How much have you mined your previous publications for this one?

I haven't. This (autobiography) was a book I wasn't interested in writing. My late agent convinced me that my personal life was worth documenting. I'm still amazed at how well it's been received.

The main character in this book is me, but I'm already looking forwards to my next book.

You have witnessed so much of history first hand, from your friendships with Nelson Mandela and Tony Benn, to bearing political witness in

Britain at a grass roots level in Birmingham and London. How much do you feel the truth of witnessing so much history?

It is quite strange when you reach my age and people talk about events and people I knew well as history.

Sometimes I find myself intervening in conversations and debates saying 'It didn't happen like that, I was there'. I can think of many people and events, good and bad that I can say I've met or seen that are of great importance in world

history. But then I ask myself what would have happened if I was born 200 years ago or in 200 years time? I'm sure that if I am a poet, with something to say at any time I would meet such people and witness historic events. Just different ones.

Who do you admire in this current climate, and why?

Noam Chomsky for his clarity.

Arundhati Roy for her clarity.

I was surprised to see that you were poet in residence at

010_011_LS880_Interview_BenjaminZ_Layout 1 17/05/2018 13:50 Page 2

Keats House in Hampstead.

It's quite serene there. How much do you think a creative's environment impacts upon their output?

I have to say it wasn't serene when I was there. I had poetry parties with school children, I had a poetry roast (like comedy roast) with me as the target, I brought schools in from Hackney and other places unlike Hampstead, and I even had homeless people doing poetry there. But I really don't know about your question about the creative environment. I live rural now, but I've written very little about rural life. Three of my novels are set in East London, but I wrote them in China. My ideas are in my head, I just need time to write.

It's great to see that you've written specifically for children too. How much do you think books like yours would've helped with your own literacy learning when you were at school?

I'm very dyslexic, so reading a dyslexic writer would have

been inspiring, but reading about people and places that I know would also have been inspiring. When I see what my books do for young people now, I know similar books would have done the same for me.

You've collaborated musically with some great artistes, including The Wailers and Sinead O'Connor. Who is on your wish list to work with– dead or alive – and what track would you like to work with them on?

I would have loved to have worked with Prince. I don't know what in the world I could do with them but I'd love to do absolutely anything with Die Antwoord.

What advice would you give to poets trying to be heard now?

Be honest, don't fear the system, and be careful which TV commercial you do.

Fed up with your current agent?

We are finding that more and more landlords are becoming increasingly concerned with the service they are currently receiving. Whether that be due to their agent being bought out by a larger corporate agent or the fact that their management team are no longer local and run a call centre style department.

Harringtons have been an independent agent for 25 years and will remain an independent agent for the next 25 years guaranteeing a consistent, personal and expert service.

Do you know who is looking after your investment?

We all prefer speaking with a familiar person opposed to a stranger don’t we? We are a small yet extremely efficient team at Harringtons and we know that our landlords value the fact they can usually speak with the same person who knows them, their property and their tenants.

Can your agent provide advice on all aspects of buying and letting?

Harringtons are a specialist letting agent and although do not directly deal with sales have an active acquisition department who often advise current and potential landlords on new purchases, sales and development of current portfolios. We are here to ensure your investment is safe and maximised to its full potential and any new investment decisions are wise ones. It is vital to speak to a letting agent before purchasing a buy to let property, speak to the experts before making one of the biggest decisions you may ever make.

Does your agent appreciate your specific needs?

We often find landlords come to us seeking a tailor made service whereas other agents may not have been able to accommodate their wishes. We work with landlords who have just one rental property and are emotionally connected to that property and like to remain involved and we also deal with landlords who have multiple properties who do not wish to have any involvement but trust us to make decisions with their best interest in mind. We are able to cater to each landlords individual needs and create a service personal to you.

F

ew restaurants arrive in the city with quite the flurry of excitement as this, and as long standing fan of the original in London I was equally fascinated to see how it would be. Well there is no doubting the level of investment in the structure, it simply looks amazing, lavish, luxurious and vibrant, a place to see and be seen for certain. But does it meet the expectations when it comes to the real essentials of dining out: good food and great service?

Well on my first visit I can say that it does both. The service is both seamless and charming, classic detail at every point and all delivered with a smile. Mr L joined me for lunch and our seat by the windows on a sunny day was perfect. A glass of house champagne proved a great place to start and despite both of us swearing not to drink much, a bottle of Gavi slipped down a treat.

We started with a nest of zucchini frittura, the best I have had since the sad loss of The Latin In The Lanes years ago. Mr L moved on to a dish of scallops which he declared perfect, and it certainly looked that way. I chose a favourite, steak tartare and it too was just right – tender steak, properly prepared and seasoned and served with good toast.

For my main course I chose the daily special of swordfish, a beautifully presented griddled steak with a sweet red pepper sauce and black olives, and on the side a dish of peas and sugar snaps. It was very good indeed. Mr L had blackened cod cooked in a banana leaf and he moved swiftly through the flaking pearlescent tranche with a smile on his face. He liked his creamed spinach too but decided that he had not made the right match for his fish, needless to say he demolished the lot.

For dessert he had the frozen berries, a light summery dessert – but I was having none of that purportedly healthy stuff and had the chocolate bomb, a dessert that comes with theatre as the hot salt caramel sauce is poured onto the chocolate case to reveal the ice­cream and honeycomb below.

Most importantly though, and it may come as a surprise, this is not an expensive place to eat. Many of the main courses are the same price as the average pub menu these days and they have introduced an excellent three course lunch menu at £21 for three courses, which I will be back to try very soon. The menu revealed a very competitive afternoon tea and a list of breakfast dishes that would get me up and out at dawn. Additionally this is generous food, no dainty doll’s house portions here and that certainly made me smile. The Ivy in the Lanes is an affordable treat and I will be back. Anyone fancy breakfast?

BRIGHTON LIGHTS

STAGE Snigel & Friends

I

t’s good to see that Brighton Festival offer something for all ages. Co­creators Caroline Bowditch and Laura Hook talk about a new work for children.

“Snigel and Friends is an interactive sensory world for babies and their adults to explore. Snigel is an inquisitive snail who plays, dances, sings and makes music with insect friends. Babies and adults join the cast in the undergrowth, under a magical leafy canopy.

“Very few shows are made specifically for babies this young. We worked to make sure we created the best possible environment for little ones to engage in the colours and live music while interacting with characters and props.

“Visibly disabled performers in performance work for young audiences is incredibly rare.

Caroline has been working with Imaginate on the Weren’t You Expecting Me Project, taking a closer look at the impact, if any, that this may have on disabled and non­disabled children, particularly looking at the effect on aspirations, self­ esteem and overall perceptions of disability. Snigel and Friends was created to address the lack of this kind of work for young people.

“Laura has created a set that is built in proportion to Caroline, which also means all the action happens at perfect baby height.

The leafy canopy creates a magical world that allows the audience to relax in the undergrowth.

“ A positive

theatre experience for parents and their wee ones ”

OF THE REST

SNEAK PEEKS

Food, ferns & flippin’ beautiful robots

Normal is extraordinary

Y

ou can imagine the pitch for Million Pound Menu – “It’s like Dragon’s Den meets Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares presented by that bloke everyone likes on First Dates”.

There’s even a touch of Bake Off in the structure of it. All shot through with that most attractive of enticements: hope. Who could resist?

It’s easy to mock, but the show does sound like something I’ll be setting my digibox for. Each week Fred Sirieix sets two budding restauranteurs against the other with a three­day trial run in a 40­seater pop­up restaurant in the heart of Manchester.

They are joined by some of the biggest investors in the restaurant world, each looking for the most innovative idea, and casting judgement on food, service, team­management and brand potential. So they’ll be running their pop­ups, being called in to tense one­on­one meetings with investors, and hoping to win their dream come true to work for themselves running their passion project. Alright, add a hearty dollop of The Apprentice into that pitch equation too.

“ That wonder, that peril, and a

legitimate dramatic reason lots of beautiful people look flawless ” Meanwhile, over on ITV1, Alan Titchmarsh marks the 70th anniversary of the National Health Service by taking on his team’s biggest project yet: a garden for The Royal Manchester Children's Hospital. (Anyone else notice that Manchester is coming out rather well in this week’s telly?) Get your hankies at the ready as something rather beautiful and uplifting comes out of the ground and offers some the simplest of beauties and most complex of calendar blooming to brighten those that really need it the most. With many world events and loud voices urging us to see the darkness in the world, prepare to be moved by the more tender aspect of society, as served up by Love Your Garden.

Finally, for that escapism, that wonder, that peril, and a legitimate dramatic reason lots of beautiful people look flawless – Channel 4’s sci­fi drama Humans makes a return for its third season. By this point you know what to expect, and if you don’t then every episode of the last two series is available from Four On Demand, so you can treat yourself to a duvet day of catching up.

T

wo years ago last month Henry Normal did a remarkable thing.

He left Baby Cow, the television company he and Steve Coogan had co­founded 17 years previously ‘to pursue creative endeavours in other fields’. now, bear in mind that Baby Cow is the power behind such luminaries as The Trip, Uncle, Gavin and Stacey and The Mighty Boosh. And that Normal himself had co­ written such markers in the comedy landscape as The Mrs Merton Show and The Royle Family. So this is a man with accomplishments.

But he is also a patron of local Brighton charity Amaze, who offer support to families of children and young people with SEN and disabilities. And was a poet and performer himself, way before telly writing and making the big decisions for shows came into the mix. There were other things calling to him.

A couple of months later Normal published a new book of poetry, composed of new and selected poems, entitled Staring Directly At The Eclipse all about his family, his wife and their son Johnny, who has autism. And then he took it on tour.

“ It tickles your soul in a most endearing way ” The poetry collection was funny, poignant, deeply personal and confuses as to whether you should laugh or cry – or maybe both.

It tickles your soul in a most endearing way. BBC Radio 4 collaborated on two one­off live recordings of Henry performing his poems. Normal and his wife Angela Pell – a screenwriter herself – went on to co­write their family’s story so far as A Normal Family: Everyday adventures with our autistic son (recently published by Two Roads). Extraordinary Normals. And we’ve got the scoop.

As Henry performed around the country on tour, taking his first new poems published in years out and about, he allowed this very personal film to be made following him. Talking lovingly about his family, chronicling his latest adventure, it’s an incredible journey you’ve been invited to hitch a ride along on. Thanks, Henry – the service station snacks are on us.

Henry Normal Staring Directly At The Eclipse can be seen on LatestTV at 10pm, on Friday 1 June 2018.
