Paddle Round The Pier

futureevents

Sat 7th - Sun 8th July, Hove Lawns Europe’s largest annual free beach festival returns to this cosmopolitan City. This event just keeps growing each year and the organisers have just announced some new and even wackier events to be included in the 2012 schedule. I personally love the ‘Paddle Something Unusual’ category, as I believe this is truly an insight into Brightonion creativity and quirkiness. paddleroundthepier.com

The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy Radio Show Live

Thurs 12th - Sat 14th July, Theatre Royal Hitchhiker’s Guide became an instant classic on its launch as a radio series. Now Douglas Adams’s immortal creation explodes back into life, re-born in this ground-breaking new stage production - a radio show like you never saw before - in surround sound, packed with laughter, robots, really wild sound effects and drinks with extremely silly names. ambassadortickets.com

Summer Ice Skating

Mon 23rd July - Sun 19th Aug, Brighton Centre Whether you’re a slider or glider, or perhaps looking for thrills and spills, we recommend visiting the only INDOOR, summer ice rink for a session of skating. If you are bored of sunbathing this summer (most unlikely) or just fancy doing something energetic for an hour or two get yourself down to the Brighton Centre for some fun. brightoncentre.co.uk

Biba & Beyond Sat 22nd Sept - Sun 14th April 2013, Brighton Museum This major fashion exhibition at Brighton Museum & Art Gallery celebrates the innovative, unique and distinctive creative flair of Barbara Hulanicki.

Women and celebrities eagerly sought her striking, romantic and sensual designs – which were cut and styled like hi -end fashion but priced to be accessible to all. brighton-hove-museums.org.uk

health&lifesyle

health&lifestyle How are your energy levels? Do you struggle to get out of bed in the morning? Do you suffer from energy dips? Do you use coffee to keep you going? Do you just want to slump in front of the TV in the evenings? There are lots of things you can do to increase your energy levels, here are some of the easiest and most effective. Try them, they really work! Suzie Brown: Waters:health@whatsonguide.co.uk eat@whatsonguide.co.uk Leisa

Increasing Energy Levels Drink plenty of water. When you’re dehydrated, your bodily fluids (blood, lymph, etc) thicken and your body and brain simply cannot work properly, leaving you feeling tired and lethargic. Drink around 2 litres of water or unsweetened herbal tea each day and you will really feel the difference. Eat raw foods. Salads, fruits, vegetables, nuts & seeds contain enzymes (which cooking destroys) that are essential for the body’s metabolism so include plenty of them in your diet to help keep your body energised. Keep your blood sugar levels consistent. Caffeine and sugary foods may give you a quick burst of energy but the metabolic process they trigger will result in a blood sugar dip a short while later, leaving you feeling very tired and sleepy. Eat small protein rich meals to help keep your energy levels consistent. If you find you get drowsy or bloated shortly after eating, you may be intolerant to some foods. Find a practitioner who can test you to find out which foods you would be better avoiding. 10

what’sonmay12

Take a good quality Multi-Vitamin and Mineral supplement. If you’re really busy and stressed, taking extra B-Complex and Magnesium supplements in addition to the multi can really help. Complete any unfinished tasks. Sounds crazy perhaps but believe me, all those half finished projects will suck energy from you, so either finish them or make a proper decision to let them go altogether. Exercise to unblock stagnant energy!

culture&events It would of course be impossible for any culture writer worth their salt to not mention the Festival and the Fringe this month, and I am no different. There’s so much to choose from that in picking the cultural smorgasbord below there was a great deal or ummming and arrrring, but here it is! Art installations, gin tasting, innovating theatre (times two), city wide open houses, and a political debate. Sarah Herbert: culture@whatsonguide.co.uk

Dreams of Here

Until 10th June, Brighton Museum & Art Gallery Julian Bell, Tom Hammick and Andrzej Jackowski are three nationally recognised printmakers, each with strong connections to Sussex. This collection of work, displayed in three interconnecting galleries, shows the variety and contrast of their various influences: ordinary objects and experiences, dream like interior spaces, and the tension between a lost rural simplicity and the clutter of the contemporary. brighton-hove-rpml. org.uk/Museums/brightonmuseum

The Rest is Silence Sat 5th - Sun 27th, Malthouse Estate Warehouse, Shoreham I’ve never forgiven myself for missing the wonderful Before I Sleep at the old Co-op building on London Road, despite its run being extended, but I won’t get fooled again. The latest production from dreamthinkspeak is billed as a ‘meditation on Shakespeare’s Hamlet’ and looks at how a young man’s life starts to unravel when his father dies. brightonfestival.org

Hangover Square

Sat 5th – Sun 27th, University of Brighton Gallery Native of West Sussex, and author of Hangover Square, Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky, and other works of obsessive love and the squalor of too much drinking, if you haven’t already heard of Patrick Hamilton, investigate immediately. And where better to start than this installation piece evoking the atmosphere of what is widely considered to be his masterpiece. brightonfestival.org 12

Quintessential Anthology of Gin … Particularly Hendrick’s Mon 21st & Thur 24th, Jubilee Square It’s gin time! Beginning life as a patent medicine, used to mask the taste of quinine in the British Colonies, stopping en route to ruin all manner of mothers during the 18th and 19th century, gin has been on a fascinating journey, all culminating in this tasting session run by the people at Hendrick’s. brightonfringe.org

I’m Hans Christian Andersen Sat 12th, Sallis Benney Theatre Rachel Rose Reid, one of the UK’s top story-tellers, enters the forgotten fairytales of the Danish author in search of imperfect love and the meaning of Happily Ever After. No stranger to festivals across the country, Reid’s ability to build bridges between the oral tradition of our ancestors and the spoken word of today has won her great critical acclaim.

Mahler & Schubert Sat 19th, Brighton Dome Concert Hall Tenor Mark Padmore – winner of Gramophone magazine’s solo vocal award 2010 – takes centre stage in this rousing performance from two of Austria’s finest composers. From Schubert’s youthful and light Symphony No 5 in B flat major to Mahler’s romantic and spiritual four Ruckert-Lieder, it’s an evening of contrasting emotion and sensibility. 22

tickets: brightonfestival.org Mon 21st, Theatre Royal The electronica artist recreates his 2011 album live in what promises to be a visceral and astounding concert. Having followed the life of a typical farmyard hog from birth to the dinner plate - recording each step of the way and melding his audio into a sonically arresting soundscape – Herbert’s musical journey is both an emotional and educational one.

Matthew Herbert - One Pig

War Sum Up Fri 25th, Brighton Dome Concert Hall Japanese Noh theatre meets manga art against a backdrop of chamber pop-opera in this visually stunning, award-winning UK premiere. Not fans of holding back in terms of style and grandeur, Danish theatre company Hotel Pro Forma join forces with UK band The Irrepressibles and the Latvian Radio Choir to tell the tale of three individuals torn asunder by war.

King Priam Sun 27th, Brighton Dome Concert Hall Homeric story-telling, classic mythology and stinging betrayal collide in Sir Michael Tippett’s rarely performed epic opera. King Priam is faced with an impossible dilemma – kill his own child or watch his city fall. With world-renowned bass Brindley Sherratt leading a huge cast – including the city’s very own Festival Chorus alongside Britten Sinfonia – this exclusive performance closes the May festivities in style.

What Can You Do? Sat 26th, Theatre Royal Brighton-based writer, director and actor Neil Bartlett OBE makes his only UK stage appearance in 2012 for this special, retrospective recital piece that casts a look at his prolific 30 year career. Revisiting some older, seminal pieces alongside a newly commissioned piece for Brighton Festival, Bartlett’s journey promises to be as mesmerising as it is provocative and touching.

Tickets available from www.brightonfringe.org or 01273 917272 or 54 North Street, Brighton Luna’s History of Madness

Mon 7th & Wed 23rd, Upstairs at Three & Ten From DIY electric shock machines to the Cold Water Cure: a poignant, personal and historical Keynote Comedy journey through the offbeat world of unconventional psychology – complete with handson demonstrations. Yvo – poet, comedian, sea-swimmer, madwoman – looks at mental illness and how to manage it. Or not. “Inspired every single person in the room”. (David Bramwell, Catalyst Club)

Radha is Looking Good/The Clock Thurs 9th - Fri 11th, The Marlborough Two one-woman shows. New writing devised from memories and imagination. Radha is an autistic girl’s honest portrait.

festivalfringe What About Samuel

festivalfringe

Mon 21st - Sun 27th, The Open House Clare and James have issues in their relationship. They also have a beautiful son. But on a day when everyone seems to lose the plot, the question is what about Samuel? This brand new edgy comedy holds the mirror up to the middle class obsession with good parenting where the child is the last thing on anyone’s mind…

Bourgeois & Maurice & Friends! Sat 26th, The Warren Musical cabaret oddities Bourgeois & Maurice want to introduce you to some friends… A mixed-bill bonanza featuring B&M with their bitingly witty original songs, alt-drag-perf-art phenomenon Jonny Woo (“A tranny superstar” Time Out) and mimecomedy sensation Dr Brown (The Times’ Best Comedy Newcomer 2010, Total Theatre Award nominee 2011) “Talented to within an inch of their lives” **** (Time Out)

fun4kids The City is buzzing with activity in May due to the festive activities going on. There’s lots of entertainment for kids too including the Kids’ Parade, physical theatre and music from International troupe, Circus Klezmer, workshops, exhibitions and crazy golf. I’ll be popping into Café Aldo for Pizza and then moving onto Gardner Street in the North Laines for ice cream at Gelato Gusto. Louise Donno: editorial@whatsonguide.co.uk

Kids Parade 5th May 10.30am, Brighton This annual Children’s Parade which kick starts the Brighton festival promises an open-air fiesta of colour, costume and live music. This year the event is to be lead by Guest Director to the festival, Vanessa Redgrave! The procession starts at 10.30am on Sydney Street, but it is worth heading straight to Madeira Drive to get the best view of this spectacular Carnival. brightonfestival.org

Weet, Chirp & Flap Workshop Sat 19th May 11am, Pavilion Theatre Join a flock of Britten Sinfonia musicians for hands-on musical activities inspired by our feathered friends. Get ready for the PM show with a range of birdy crafts and creative music-making sessions. Then keep an ear out in the show for the bird music that has been created! Workshop £5 per child with a concert ticket. Book Now! brightondome.org

Circus Klezmer Fri 25th – Sat 26th May, Theatre Royal This family friendly production is a glorious mix of contemporary circus and Jewish klezmer music inspired by the dreamlike paintings of Marc Chagall. Since its beginnings klezmer has been associated with celebrations. Melancholic and romantic yet also exuberant and joyful, this show will touch upon your emotions, just as circus, in its purest form, moves us to laughter, tears and elation. brightonfestival.org 28

Crazy Golf

fun4kids

Madeira Drive, East of Big Wheel, 01273 680908 Open daily (subject to weather) This well established crazy golf has been here for as long as I remember. It is good value at £2.50 for adult or kids – 1 x round (18 holes), so won’t break the bank. Located down on the beach and have a café serving excellent fish & chips at £4.50 so an ideal 19th hole.

Gelato Gusto 2 Gardner Street Recently opened, Gelato Gusto is an Italian Gelateria serving fresh homemade gelato and ice cream deserts. It ticks all the boxes; it’s got plenty of seating so you can take a moment and enjoy your ice cream with the kids, as they serve up the yummiest ice cream known to mother and child ... While my daughter loves the Strawberry and Banana I’d recommend Sea Salt Caramel. gelatogusto.com

Café Aldo 77 Trafalgar Street One of the best pizzerias in Brighton according to my 13 year old son who, believe me, is an expert on the subject! Café Aldo’s pizza is simply delicious and you can watch your pizza being made and popped into the oven. I’m sure watching this process makes it taste even better. A little gem, this Café is a great place to enjoy pizza with the darlings. caffealdobrighton.co.uk

filmclub As the sun starts to show its face more and the great outdoors seems more appealing Hollywood seems to want us to spend more time in a darkened room. This year’s blockbuster season has a more fantastical edge as Batman, Spiderman and Ridley Scott’s return to the Alien universe grab the headlines. More on these over the coming months but in the run up there’s still a few heavy hitters. Martin Lampitt: cinema@whatsonguide.co.uk

Silent House In Cinemas, Fri 4th Sarah (Elizabeth Olsen), her dad and uncle are repairing their old farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. Without any light or electricity the house is suddenly besieged by unknown assailants. In this age of torture porn and teen slasher flicks it is very rare to find a horror film that is genuinely scary, so it was refreshing to come across something as absolutely pant-wettingly terrifying as this. Impressively filmed in one continuous take, this remake of a Spanish film (‘La Casa Muda’) ratchets up the tension to unbearable levels and has the feel of ‘found footage’ taken to the extreme. The camera follows the totally believable Olsen closely as she explores every creepy nook and cranny meaning we’re just as in the dark (literally) as the terrified

victim; making the shocks all the more effective. A scene using a Polaroid camera still makes you jump out of your skin even though you know exactly what’s coming. However, where this is very much its strength, it is also what stops it from being a completely satisfying experience. When the denouement arrives, your nerves are so frazzled that what should be the most horrifying part of the story becomes more of a relief that you can actually breathe again. This is a small niggle though, as the filmmakers have provided some of the most skilful tension that I can recall seeing on the screen for many a year. Not for the faint hearted but I highly recommend that you see it on the big screen for maximum impact.

Beauty & The Beast 3D

filmclub

In cinemas, 3rd With seemingly every film being turned into three dimensions it was only a matter of time before Disney started leafing through its back catalogue. Released an unbelievable twenty years ago, this timeless love story sees a Prince transformed into a beast and only love is able to break the spell. A timeless tale that will enchant even the most cynical of you.

Dark Shadows In Cinemas, 11th Based on an oddball American soap of the 1960s, Tim Burton once again teams up with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter for this gothic comedy. Depp plays Barnabas Collins, a vampire that is unleashed into the world of 1972 after two centuries of captivity. This looks like one for fans of ‘Beetlejuice’ and ‘Sleepy Hollow’ and could be a return to those glory days.

Men In Black 3 In Cinemas, 25th Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones return for a further outing protecting the earth from the scum of the universe. This time around Agent J (Smith) travels back in time hoping to stop the assassination of Agent K (Jones) by aliens. Josh Brolin plays Jones’ younger self and is an uncanny likeness but be prepared for another annoying theme song, Big Willy style.

The Lucky One In Cinemas, 2nd A marine travels to North Carolina after serving in Iraq and searches for the unknown woman he believes was his good luck charm during the war. Zac Efron and Taylor Schilling star in one of those films that seem to be created in a Hollywood lab to produce the perfect date movie. One for the ladies and all of you hopeless romantics out there.

The club has come a long way since we moved to the stadium just under a year ago, with the team exceeding all expectations on the pitch and over 500,000 fans attending matches, it certainly has been a season to remember. If you are an Albion fan or just a visitor to the city there is plenty to do at the stadium during the close season, including visiting Dick’s Bar and coffee shop, taking a tour or booking a Sunday lunch in our East Central Brasserie.

Having said that we’re a fit lot – apart from the boozing – with all that exercise. Our pubs are lovely and friendly but relatively traditional. Down on more level ground it’s a different story and almost a different theme behind each bar door. Kairen Kemp: bars@whatsonguide.co.uk

NME has called it ‘Glastonbury-on-sea’, so if that floats your boat, so to speak, then get your passes now.

Grimes (or Claire Boucher to friends and family) deals in emotive electro at its very finest; the Canadian switches between genres at will while retaining a strong identity, thanks to her incomparable voice and experimental musicianship. Truly recommended for all ears. myspace.com/boucherville

Africa Express Sound System Sat 12th, Brighton Dome The intriguing collective Africa Express Sound System chugs into town with a veritable smorgasbord of singers, rappers, musicians, DJs and producers from Africa as well as the West, so if it’s not to your musical tastes, then you’re probably lying. We’re promised gorgeous melodies, deep bass-lines and enough percussion to, well, shake a stick at. So what are you waiting for? africaexpress.co.uk

clublife It’s always a sad day when any innovative Brighton night calls it quits. After nearly ten years of giving Brighton the finest in Synthesized Sounds, vintage French Pop and Electronic Delights, L’ Amour Electronique is unplugging itself from the mains. So join the guys at the West Hill on the 26th for one final fix of 8-Bit Electronic Pioneers, Gallic Freakbeat, 60s Ye Ye, Synthcore, Casio pop and Synth Disco. DJ Lamp: club@whatsonguide.co.uk

2 Many DJs Thurs 3rd, Digital How’s this for a rollocking start to the month? As a prelude to their inevitable festival shows this summer the mash-up kings from Soulwax visit our humble city again for a very intimate show. Their style brought mashup to the masses and has been imitated a million times but never bettered. Get your tickets before it sells out as it most definitely will. 2manydjs.com

Blocks featuring Simian Mobile Disco Thurs 3rd, Concorde 2 Simian Mobile Disco return for a very special DJ set before the release of their new album, ‘Unpatterns’. Formed in 2005, James Ford and Jas Shaw have been releasing quality electronic music ever since alongside remix work for the likes of Air, The Klaxons and the Go! Team. Tickets are guaranteed to fly out so buy now to avoid disappointment. simianmobiledisco.co.uk

The Garden Get Together Tour Fri 4th, Audio Tonight, Brighton’s Schtumm presents a wave of revered talent representing the Garden Festival’s diverse template. From Norman Jay and Dyed Soundorom to David August, the tour pools together new friends and old faces in anticipation of this summer’s action at the beautiful new site in the old town of Tisno, Croatia. The Garden Festival runs from 4th – 11th July in Croatia. audiobrighton.com 48

Fri 4th, Sticky Mike’s Frog Bar It may have been over fifteen years ago that the brothers Gallagher and Damon Albarn faced off for chart domination but it seems that the music is still riding high. Relocated from the Pav Tav, expect the usual heady blur of nineties guitar music and it’s free so there’s no reason not to get down with the common people. FB: SnapCrackleandBritpop

Judge Jules Sun 6th, H Bar Jules began playing in 1987, launching a career that has notched up hundreds of thousands of miles, millions of spins of the decks and countless gigs in far-flung destinations, as well as the odd dirty warehouse thrown in for good measure. With a list of awards that would make the American Olympic team blush, Jules has earned his place amongst the DJ aristocracy. h-bar-hove.com

Pop Kraft Saturday Special Sat 19th, Brighton Ballroom Anywhere that boasts Balloon Dog Mayhem gets my vote. Brighton’s sleazy version of The Banana Splits, Boogaloo Stu and friends, are here to spice up your weekend. If you feel like dancing the night away to cool pop whilst sipping Jesus Juice (no, I’m not sure what it is either) then this is the place for you. Get there early. boogaloostu.com

Spellbound Sat 19th, Komedia The Spellbound juggernaut keeps on rolling, carrying the alternative eighties torch steadily onwards. DJs Simon Price and Cherry Foxxx play a mix of all things that were musically good about the decade (yes there were quite a few). Forget Wham and Madonna and think The Cure, The Cult and The Specials. Whether reliving your youth or just discovering the music it’s an essential night out. FB: spellboundbrighton
