It is nearly the best month of the year for gourmets down our way – September is time for Brighton and Hove Food and Drink Festival. For full listings of all the events going on around the city, turn to page 19 for your complete guide.

This weekend is a great one for Sussex music lovers – it is time for Beachdown festival and the much-loved Levellers are playing at Arundel Castle. See music listings (p36) for details or turn to news for the latest on Beachdown (p12).

Saturday is also the first day of the Lewes Artwave festival, one of the region's leading arts festivals. Our nine-page guide starts on page 41.

If you're feeling more of a couch potato and would rather settle down for the Olympics, two of our writers have been considering the politics behind the event - Latest Sport writer Peter Knight (p14) and Dani in her TV column (p52).

Tim Richardson and some of our staff enjoyed a trip to Ladies Day at Brighton Races - see Tim's social diary on page 6.

Victoria Nangle spent last week at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe seeing as many shows as she could. Before she went she managed to interview someone who was destined to make a splash again this year – Stewart Lee. See what he had to say in Victoria's regular comedy column on page 30.

On the same page, books columnist John Davies is on holiday, where he has been reading populist linguist Stephen Pinker.

Have you ever wondered what kind of dog you would be, if you were a dog? Astral Angi has the answers on page 10, where you can also read the Cheeky column and find the bizarre history of the King Alfred.

We've been testing some of the Champneys products available at the new spa in East Street – and found they knocked the spots off some other products on the market. See page 16.

In news, I asked Zippos Circus why they still use animals in their acts (p11) and Phil Mills found out why the 2012 London Olympics could be bad news for Sussex Police (p13).

Film writer Craig Driver has news of all the latest releases and an interview with Andrey Zvyagintsev, the Russian director who made a splash at Cannes with his film The Banishment (p33).

Sandra and her friends have been watching videos of models falling over on the catwalk – all in the name of research, you understand (p17) while poor Alison's taken a serious tumble (p7).

If you missed the Vodafone TBA concert on the beach with N*E*R*D and The Streets, hear all about it in our reviews round up (p29) or learn all the backstage gossip from celeb watcher Jo Brooks (p9).

Have a fantastic bank holiday weekend. If you don't know what you're doing yet, you're in the right place to find something. If you're going to Beachdown, see you there!

IN IT TO WIN IT

With Tim Richardson

Nivea Sun prizes, Swatch watches and volleyball tickets

One for the ladies On Thursday 07 August 2008 it was Brighton Racecourse’s Ladies’ Day. Ladies had a superb incentive to get dressed up for the middle day of Brighton Racecourse’s three-day Festival of Racing with the Best Dressed Lady taking home a stunning Raindance eternity ring worth £6,500 from Boodles, Harrods’ jeweller. Best Hat was won by a young lady by the name of Eshe. Ladies’ Day at Brighton Racecourse is one of the social events of the year in Brighton and Hove, and it wasn’t about the most expensive dress or shoes; it was about ladies and gents having a chance to dress up for some fun in the sun. It was a glamourous but relaxed occasion for fun-loving ladies and gentlemen and a chance for everyone to get dressed up and feel special. The Ladies’ Day Marquee was the place to see and be seen while enjoying VIP hospitality, and for those that could still muster the energy, the place to be seen after the last race was at the after-party that was hosted by the Thistle Brighton.

Eshe - Winner of the Best Hat

Win with the 2008 Swatch FIVB Junior World Beach Volleyball Championships The 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing will be over in September, meaning our attention can turn to sport right on our doorstep. Or beach front. From 3–7 September, the 2008 Swatch FIVB Junior World Beach Volleyball Championships comes to Brighton’s Nivea Sun Yellowave beach sports complex.

As an official training venue for the 2012 Olympics, the complex has been redeveloped to make 3,000 spectator seats and has had several tonnes of sand shipped in. The beach-side venue is the perfect place to host the volleyball championship and we are offering readers the chance to win tickets to the event along with some very special Nivea Sun and Swatch goodies.

The Junior World Beach Volleyball Championships will bring one of the most colourful Olympic sports to Britain, showcasing top teams from around the world including highly ranked singles and pairs players from Australia, Brazil, and the USA.

Awake –DVD Nina Holland and friends Alana O’Dell, Felicity Jameson and Lucinda Hardcastle

Zena McCarthy and friends

An ugly and chilling drama with two of Hollywood’s most gorgeous young stars makes this new release from Icon Home Entertainment thrilling viewing. Hayden Christensen from Star Wars and Jessica Fantastic Four Alba star as a loved-up couple planning to get married. Clay (Christensen) is also waiting for a heart donor. A match is found and Clay is left in the hands of a doctor facing several pending malpractice suits.

On the operating table, Clay experiences the disturbingly real phenomenon of anaesthetic awareness – in which surgery patients, though completely paralysed, are conscious of everything they are experiencing. Clay believes he is suspended in a nightmare. He hears conversations that don’t belong and begins to learn that everyone is not who they seem.

Gripping and terrifying, this is chilling viewing, as the audience watch on as helpless as Clay as the events unfold out of their hands. This is not one for the faint hearted.

We have teamed up with Icon Home Entertainment and have three copies of Awake, released Monday 25 August, to give away. To be in with a chance of winning tell us: Who did Hayden Christensen play in Star Wars? See below for entry details. Entrants must be aged 15 and over.

To be in with a chance of winning, email: competitions@thelatest.co.uk with the name of the prize you wish to win in the subject box. Leave your answer to the question in the body of the email, along with your name, address and telephone number. Alternatively, write to us at the address at the front of the magazine. Closing date for entries is Tuesday 26 August.

ALISON’SCOLUMN

What Alison did Alison Swann discovers that when it comes to having a holiday, things don’t always go to plan

Gimme a break It’s that time of year when everyone has either been on holiday, is getting ready to go, has given up on the idea for this year, or is ruing the day they ever went freelance and got excommunicated from the land of relaxation.

Day off? Are you mad!

I’m rubbish at planning holidays. It all seems like a great idea when you hear people talking about it; you come up with great ideas to go away with your partner and/or a big group of mates. “Let’s go to ‘blah, blah, blah’. It’ll be great!” These ideas are generally gestated during the days running up to the Easter bank holiday debacle, and then are rapidly allowed to slip away, to end up in the file marked Drunken Ideas That Will Never Happen.

Well, this year it was going to be different. This year I was going to have a holiday – by hook or by bleedin’ crook, I was getting out of here.

Oh, you’re all going to Beachdown? How lovely. No, sadly I won’t be there. Why? Well I’m going away! Oh really! Where are you going? I'm going to Germany to visit my friend who I haven’t seen for ten years and then jumping on a train – on my own – to travel through Slovakia, then Budapest and finally Poland, where I shall meet up with another friend. It will be fab. I will come home after my many weeks away feeling refreshed, reinvigorated and speaking fluent German, Polish and Hungarian. I will have married a man on a mountain by Lake Balatan, just because I could.

“We wondered what on earth we had done the night before to grant us such celebrity status? We concluded it was perhaps best not to know” But no. Fat chance. The law of Sod stepped in and said no.

This was to be my first ‘proper’ holiday in over five years, I don't count a four-day city break in Madrid with a mate last year as a real holiday: that was a drinking triathlon. It was was damn fine fun, but it wasn’t exactly a break from the norm. Madrid loved us after just one night – well, the bar owners did. After pouring ourselves off the plane, we did a quick change at the hotel, zipped back out again and ‘did’ Madrid. What we actually did was a rather more salient question when we awoke the next day in hangover

hell. We both had vague memories of ending up in a lesbian club called Escape and getting propositioned by a flasher. We concluded this probably wasn’t a conventional introduction to Madrid society, and that evening wandered through the clubbing quarter trying to recover whatever dignity we had clearly disposed of the night before.

As we walked past a very long queue to get into Escape (the notorious club from the night before) one of the promoters ran after us up the street: “English ladies! English ladies from last night! Come in you are on the guest list!“ he said. And indeed we were. After being swept past the crowds waiting to get into Escape we stood at the bar looking bemused and wondering what on earth we had done the night before to grant us such celebrity status? We never did work it out and concluded it was perhaps best not to know.

So I was quite glad to get home for the summer. But a year on I was itching to get away properly. As no matter how great it may be to be here, getting away is a good thing to do. You can then really appreciate the city when, after four hours scrunched up in economy, and you have developed the ability to perform in a contortionist act in next year’s Brighton Festival, you finally get home.

And home is where I am staying, for the next four weeks at least. No getting on that plane on the 19 August, oh no. Sit back, leg up and attempt a smile. Why? Well, as much as there must have been hundreds, if not thousands, of opportunities for me to fall over when drunk and break something, I did it on the way to work. Nine o’clock in the goddamn morning, as I looked up the stairs to see my colleague I waved hello and then went flying face forward up the steps fracturing three bones in my big toe. You could say it hurt and you wouldn’t be wrong. So now I’m on crutches, toe in a splint and feeling much empathy with disabled and elderly people.

As for the holiday? You wait till I’m off these crutches – I’ll be the first on that plane…

Eminemmylou Hi, I’m Eminemmylou, throwin’ lyrics at you.

This week with Heather Newman

Untitled She was the sort of person Who suffered fools with an internal sigh So huge it tired her out They thought she looked upon them gladly Whilst she was imagining hurting them badly It worried her, these random thoughts of Running amok through the city centre Surely she should relax and not worry so But it was the bombardment of her senses Day in, day out, by things she cared less and less about That took its toll, like a callous assault On a fragile poet. Some called her The Terminator When a glimpse of temper flashed through the distracted grin.

Weary and with the heartbreaking patience of Someone too busy to speak, she silently carried on Cleaning and wiped the big, fat tears from her Unblinking eyes.

EMOTIONS

Dani’s diary Dani discovers that despite time and distance your real family never leaves you I am writing this week with my auntie who has made her first trip back to England from Australia for four years. She is now officially common again, the twang has well and truly left the building. After a week of eating everything you can’t buy in Oz she now sits beside me complaining of a tummy ache while I feed her sweets, and the chocolate Swiss roll awaits us in the kitchen along with a roast dinner topped with Bisto gravy (the real reason for the roast as they have gone without it for far too long!).

Adjusting to England is causing a few problems, as would be expected: forgetting to use the clutch being a classic and possibly causing a crash. But once the gears are flowing along with the constant stream of tea, things start moving slightly easier. A visit to Nicki resulted in her first hangover on home soil, along with a want to add her own “pizzazz” to this column.

“I was worried that we would no longer have anything in common” The biggest disaster of the first week in England was the lack of onion vinegar at the chip shop at the entrance to Palace Pier – how dare they! But, how dare my auntie spend all day telling me I should write about her and then become far too distracted by Johnny Depp as is healthy! (He is not in the room with us, in case any of you became jealous, just on the telly.)

So it has been left to me to tell you about my auntie and cousin. They moved to Australia four years ago. During that time a lot has happened, as expected. But the main points are that they gained an accent and a passport and I temporarily lost my mind!

Having my auntie come home is like having my therapist turn up. She was always the one you would turn to if you had a problem, and it’s great having an auntie-hug.

Equally strange is the fact that my cousin had just turned 15 when she left and in three days’ time she turns 19. But having spent five minutes with her it felt as no time had passed at all, and for all I cared we could have been seven again and hanging out in our gran’s woods, hunting for relics in the stream, fairies in the grass and whatever it was we thought lived in the trees.

I was worried, when we went to surprise them at the airport that we would no longer have anything in common. But thankfully it was the opposite. To me this just proves that no matter how far away someone is, you never really grow apart. Having spent nearly every spare minute together as children we hit our teens on opposite sides of the globe, but give us two minutes together and its like no time has passed at all. It’s as if your real family never leaves, no matter how far away they are.

In only a few days my cousin will be heading off again, on a cruise ship in her white uniform as a beauty therapist (not a beautician!). It will not be nice saying goodbye, but we all know that it is not the last time and all you have to do is have a memory and that keeps everything alive.

Comedy countdown

Celebcity Gest who? with Jo Brooks

Brighton hosts a Vodafone party, comedy is fast approaching and who is spotted this week?

Brighton rocks Brighton added to its reputation as the South’s top party town when a world class line up of musicians hit the coast for a free gig. Sponsored

by Vodafone, the event at the beach rocked to the sounds of alternative funk rock act N*E*R*D, Midlands rapper The Streets and everyone’s favourite boy band, McFly. Brighton was well represented by homegrown all-girl indie band The Pipettes. Screened live on Channel 4’s T4 programme, the gig was attended by an enthusiastic audience of thousands who sang along and cheered throughout the four-hour show.

Unfortunately for Channel 4, Streets front man Mike Skinner seemed to forget he was being broadcast live to a daytime audience, letting slip with a number of curses throughout his set. After a tirade of f-words he finally managed to control himself and by way of apology, said; “Sorry Channel 4. I'm finding it really hard not to swear!” Clearly Mike. The Brummie bad boy was later spotted (behaving beautifully I’m told) in the bar of Brighton’s My Hotel. Rumours abound that he made some pretty strange demands of the Jubilee Street hotel staff, with one internet gossip site reporting that he demanded a carousel horse be delivered to his suite. Funny that – seeing as the penthouse suite at My Hotel already contains such a horse.

Other gossip emanating from the Vodafone TBA gig was that hot N*E*R*D front man Pharrell Williams has apparently had a bustup with fellow band-mates Chad Hugo and Shae Hale. Williams, who travelled to Brighton separately from his co-funkers apparently left the West Pier venue alone seconds after stepping off stage. No gossip has reached me about McFly – so full marks McFly to them for keeping it clean. Bless them.

N*E*R*D

It’s now less than two months until Brighton and Hove officially becomes Britain’s funniest city with the return of the Magner’s Paramount Comedy Festival, Brighton. The city will be host to some of the top names on the comedy circuit including Mock the Week’s Dara O’Briain, The Sunday Night Project’s Alan Carr, and 8 Out of 10 Cats Celebcity favourite, the lovely Jimmy Carr. I’m a brand new convert to comedienne Shappi Khorsandi who appears at the Pavilion Theatre on 24 October. I caught on her debut Alan Carr

Jimmy Carr

appearance on Radio 4’s Just a Minute. The Shappi Khorsandi Iranian-born comic more than held her own alongside veteran Minute stars Paul Merton and Tony Hawks. Tickets are now on sale from the Dome box office.

I’m a celebrity, get me to Brighton!

Spotted! On the London to Brighton express – Michael Jackson’s best mate David Gest. Perhaps he was popping down south for a visit with his BFFs Peter André and Katie Price.

I remember…

So, it looks as though the King Alfred development isn’t going to happen. But what was Kingsway like when noted architectural one-trick-pony Frank Gehry wasn’t even a twinkle in the milkman’s eye, ninety years ago?

102-year-old Carl Watermargin remembers…

“All this kerfuffle over the Gehry towers does make me smile, because I remember exactly the same thing happening over 60 years ago. 1946 the year was, and the area had been quite badly bombed in the war. It was agreed to redevelop the place, and everybody clubbed together to raise the necessary cash. There were numerous jumble sales, a fête, a sponsored murder, and a charity record was made by George Formby and Gracie Fields that raised upwards of a fiver itself. When we had enough money, it was decided that we’d hire Frank Lloyd Wright, the most celebrated architect of the day.

I’ll never forget the day he turned up – a tall, dignified figure with a shock of grey hair. He was given a ticker-tape parade through the city.

Unfortunately the car he was in skidded on some orange peel and immediately plunged into the sea, where Wright was stung repeatedly on the face and genitals by jellyfish. He was very good about it though, and made a witty speech directly afterwards, in which he used the ‘C’ word an astonishing 34 times, which was a record for the use of profanity during a public address in East Sussex that remained unbroken until Dame Flora Robson opened the Rottingdean fête in 1972.

Well, old Wrighty soon got down to work after that and it was only two weeks later that he unveiled his plans for the site – a skyscraper 2,000 feet high but only a foot wide, and decorated with reproductions of the cast of Hi Di Hi, which Wright claimed had appeared to him in a prophetic dream, on the outside in gold and emeralds. Well, it was a controversial design, and the people of Brighton voted with their feet, kicking his arse out of town and back to Chicago.

Of course, back in the 1920s what is now the King Alfred Centre was Brighton’s most infamous nightclub, Antonio’s. I myself worked as a doorman there for some years, and I remember the glittering array of celebrities who patronised the place – Clark Gable, J Paul Getty, John Barrymore, the Duke of Windsor, Mary Pickford, Hit Kid, Ray Presto, Freddie Stare, Kid Kong, Shiner, Bookworm, Donovan’s Dad… One time I refused entry to Charlie Chaplin, who appeared to be drunk, and was naked from the waist down. He got his revenge by filming and releasing a silent short in which a doorman character, obviously based on me, treats the little tramp character with disdain, and gets his comeuppance.

There’s a famous scene where my character is accidentally glued, face down and naked, to a toilet floor, where he has his teeth kicked out by a trio of policemen. Then the little tramp dances in, unzips his baggy trousers, and… (Continued on page 194.)

ARIES (MAR 21–APR 20)

CANCER (JUNE 22–JULY 22)

LIBRA (SEP 23–OCT 22)

Mystic messages for mutts this week.

Aries is a leader among dogs and will always be up front and alert. They are also escape artists, so need to be kept in check. Top dog: Rottweiler.

Cancerian canines are tenacious, patient and above all sensitive. They can also be lazy little woofers with absolutely no get-up-and-go. Be firm.

Top dog: West Highland white.

The Libra dog is a calm and well balanced pet, at home with humans basically because it has an unerring belief that it is better than a human.

Top dog: boxer

CAPRICORN (DEC 21–JAN 19).

The fashionistas of the doggy world and lovers of doggy fashion. See them everywhere in Barbour and Burberry, although the latter is now equated with strays. Top dog: poodle (all models)

TAURUS (APR 21–MAY 21)

LEO (JULY 23–AUG 22)

SCORPIO (OCT 23–NOV 21)

AQUARIUS (JAN 20–FEB 19)

Inner strength is key here but can often be seen as pig-headedness. Try to find the inner poodle in those who seem roughtie-toughtie and aggressive. Top dog: bull terrier.

Little surprise that the Leo dog is an aggressive and noisy little beast. And make no mistake, his bite is worse than his bark. It’s not a size thing either. Top dog: Pekingese (Beijingese?)

Scorpio dogs are rebels and most likely to become strays. Training is nigh on impossible, but they do make loveable, if often absent pets. It does cut food costs. Top dog: mongrel

Devoted to a fault, the Aquarian dog is a soppy old mutt who will follow you everywhere, especially to the fridge.

They also love getting wet so avoid ponds and puddles. Top dog: Poolie

GEMINI (MAY 22–JUNE 21)

VIRGO (AUG 23–SEP 22)

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22–DEC 20)

PISCES (FEB 20–MAR 20)

Unusually Gemini pooches are bright and brainy with a sharp mind and sense of purpose – think working dogs here and you’re getting the message. Top dog: Border collie

Virgo dogs are busy little bees with their noses in everything, and with dogs you know exactly where those noses have been. Top tip: never kiss a dog on the nose. Top dog: Saluki

Unlike its human counterpart the Sagi dog is nature loving and active. Funnily enough most of that energy will be used in sniffing favourite trees and lampposts. Top dog: Lhasa apso

The Piscean pooch is gentle and kind, patient enough to sit under a table at Bardlsey’s and secretly eat chips while you fillet your face with pollack.

Top dog: The Belgian mackerel hound.

Should circuses still have animals?

Rachel Pegg reports on the argument surrounding Zippos Circus

Animals right?

Zippos is back in town. And while most residents welcome the clown’s travelling circus, a small number are unhappy to see it.

Animal rights campaigners have demonstrated outside the circus on Hove Lawns for years. Traditionally, out of all the places Zippos performs it gets its most hostile reaction in Hove – albeit from a tiny minority. But why is the circus so controversial?

Zippos is one of a decreasing number of circuses in the UK that features animals. You won’t see any lions or elephants, but they do have a small troupe of horses, a flock of budgerigars and performing dogs.

Members of Brighton Animal Action and others believe that no animals or birds should be made to travel frequently to entertain.

Sue Baumgardt, Green Party spokeswoman on animal issues, said: “We oppose all animal acts in the circus. We and the Captive Animal Protection Society, and lots of organisations, feel that it is just not the life for animals. They are trawled around the country; it is not a natural existence for them and they are in horse boxes and lorries or whatever while they're travelling. When they get somewhere, the area they have might not be very big.”

Sue was invited to Zippos to see the show and watch the animals train. While she admits she did not see any behaviour that could harm the animals: “It was lovely gentle training and the show that we saw looks to be fine. The horses aren’t in it very long. They go round the ring and there was nobody jumping on their backs. It makes you wonder why they have horses at all.”

She believes horses should not be made to perform and budgies should not be kept at all in the UK. “I just don't feel happy about them.

They’re not native to this country. They’re tropical birds that are brought in here. We don’t know what conditions they’re kept in. We live in a community that accepts caged birds, like we accept so many things. They have got lots of very good human acts there. There are so many circuses that don’t use animals.”

Martin Burton, aka Zippo the clown, said when he started the circus, there were no animals for ten years. He said: “I introduced them because the circus-going public were asking me for animals in my circus. Animal rights people say they have surveyed people and they don’t want animals in the circus. I do know people who go to the circus and actually do want to see animals.”

Martin said he took advice from animal welfare organisations and Zippos has a very strong code. It has previously been visited by the RSPCA in Hove and they found no cause for complaint. He takes the protests on the chin – as long as the demonstrators are not aggressive or abusive.

“As long as it is genuine people protesting – I am afraid I am a bit of an old hippy and I don’t see any reason to stop people.”

Martin last year took part in a government independent report into wild animals in circuses. To many people’s surprise, the conclusion was that wild animals in circuses are no worse or better off than in zoos and there was no evidence their welfare is harmed.

Martin chooses not to keep wild animals because they have to be kept in cages to protect the public. “I don’t think that sends out the right message. It is very easy to perceive a cage as a prison.

“We keep horses in a stable, budgies in a small aviary and dogs are kept as pets. They are trained by repetition and reward. The reason people don’t tend to believe that circus animals are trained with love and kindness is because they can’t believe that anybody would have enough time and patience in their lives to do it. You repeat, you repeat, you repeat, and every time the budgie gets it right you give it a little bit of corn or seed."

Martin started his career 35 years ago. He said: “I used to be part of a theatre company that came to Brighton beach every summer to put on clown shows. It was on Brighton beach I invented the character of Zippo the clown.

“After that the clown company spent a lot of time in the Southern Hemisphere playing in theatres and not going anywhere near the circus. I probably said I would never work in the circus. I was caustic about clowns who wore red noses and big shoes and all of the things I ended up doing myself.”

Zippos, which has about 70 staff, runs a circus school for 18- to 30year-olds. Martin said: “I am very comfortable at the circus. It is not a job, it is a way of life. It can’t possibly be a job; the kind of hours we put in and the effort we go to doesn’t relate to anything you could get paid to do. You either love it or you hate it.

“For me, I just love the fact that barely two weeks ago I was looking at the Isle of Arran in Scotland and now I’m on Hove Lawns watching the sea come in from the English Channel. I love Brighton.

“I have a letter on my wall from a newspaper saying: ‘I looked out of my bedroom window a week ago and there was a circus. I looked out this morning and it was gone, leaving a fairy ring behind it to remind us where it had been.’ I like that idea that the circus is ephemeral, leaving only a ring – we come and go and we entertain the next set of people.”

A couple were banned from having sex at home after the city council took them to court for being too loud. A court has barred Adam Hinton from going within 100 metres of his girlfriend Kerry Norris’s flat in Brighton. The injunction was obtained last week after the couple breached a noise abatement order.

Neighbours said they had suffered two years of noise and others had been rehomed by the council.

Teenagers celebrated some of the city’s best ever A Level results. School leavers picked up their grades on Thursday.

Brighton College achieved the highest ever results for a co-ed independent school in England.

Brighton and Hove City Council turned down calls to rethink its planning decision over a travellers’ site. The council has approved plans for a 14-pitch site off Wilson Avenue. Councillors asked for the decision to be sent back to the cabinet but they were turned down. The council will now ask the public to help shape the application.

Beachdown’s donation People in the developing world will benefit from Brighton’s Beachdown festival, which takes place this weekend (22–25 August).

For every litre of liquid consumed or used at the festival – whether beer, cider, tea or biodiesel – a litre of water will be donated to communities in Uganda and Malawi via sustainable water projects in autumn.

The scheme is organised by Beachdown in partnership with Life Pure Water, which will be selling bottled water at the festival. The Brighton-based firm already works with the independent charity drop4drop to donate a litre of water to a developing community for every litre it sells.

Artist James Caldicott will create an art installation called Life Wave at the festival using thousands of recycled plastic bottles.

All other recyclable materials will be recycled by Leave No Trace, an educational, non-profit organisation.

Shuttle buses will run to and from Brighton throughout the event to discourage people from taking their cars.

Tickets for the festival are still on sale but are expected to sell out. Visit: www.beachdownfestival.com

LATESTNEWS Phil Mills reports on how the London Olympics could threaten Sussex Police by luring officers away

NEWS

Olympic challenge Sussex Police have just recorded another big drop in reported crime, but a new challenge is looming that threatens to test its future crime-fighting ability to the limit. It’s the 2012 London Olympics.

With the Metropolitan Police paying officers an extra £6,000 a year, Sussex and other shire forces are losing men and women to the capital on a regular basis. With the attraction of working on the Olympics tied in with the need to hire more specialist officers to police the Games, Sussex is anticipating that a record number of its police will transfer out.

“Sussex Police is trying to stem the haemorrhaging of staff by driving home the advantages of working and living in a pleasant county” It is the loss of experienced officers that hurts forces the most. It takes a long time to train up and for them to gain experience, and then they transfer, leaving a significant hole in the force’s armoury and depleting resources needed to train recruits.

As Chief Constable Martin Richards explained, the current drain of officers was bad enough: “With 59 officers currently transferring out or going on secondment, and with 320 new recruits arriving this year, it is a

Grand ambitions

time of significant change Chief Constable Martin Rich for the force. The 2012 ards Olympics in London will undoubtedly create a further demand for trained officers.

It all adds up to a force that will look very different over the next three years.”

Sussex Police has tried, and is continuing to try, to stem the haemorrhaging of staff by driving home the advantages of working and living in a pleasant county.

But money has proved the strongest incentive for leavers and the Home Office repeatedly has refused to offer pay top-ups to redress the imbalance.

Sussex is now trying to entice officers to stay with the carrot of larger salaries through promotions. Mr Richards said: “The challenge is to seek out the positive opportunities this [the transfer drain] would create for individuals through promotion and development opportunities, and for the force as a ‘learning organisation’.

“We have a responsibility to recognise the challenge we face over the next three years and to maximise the investment we will be making in our people, having so many new officers joining us and with so many opportunities for movement in the force. We will change over the next three years because we have to. We need to see ourselves through these changing times as a learning organisation and to seek out the positive opportunities that this will create for individuals.”

Harry and Myfanwy

Harry Townsend is aiming to achieve two amazing feats in his continuing fundraising activities for cancer charities. Since losing his wife Myfanwy to skin cancer two years ago, Harry, former assistant curator of Kew Gardens, has dedicated himself to raising money to beat the disease.

To celebrate his 72nd birthday, he has set himself two mindboggling targets – to trek the Grand Canyon rim to rim and to raise £1million for the Myfanwy Townsend Melanoma Research Fund and for Cancer Research UK. Harry hails from East Grinstead but collects cash all over Sussex and beyond. He has already climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and run the Death Valley Marathon for the cause.

He first achieved notoriety by pushing a wheelbarrow from one end of the North Island of New Zealand to the other – 800 miles in 68 days. For his Grand Canyon campaign, he aims to set an unbeatable record for Most Sponsors for One Person for One Event. Please contact Harry at harry@melanoma-fund.co.uk

As Private Fraser from TV’s Dad’s Army would say, “We’re doomed!”

It looked a bit like that when Southern News and Pictures photographer Darren Cool shot this dramatic lightning strike from Devil’s Dyke, north of Brighton.

Paradoxically vegetarian?

Dear Andrew, I do enjoy reading your restaurant reviews each week, but was rather irritated by your reference to your companion, Ms V, as a “fish-eating vegetarian”. Surely this is the same as referring to someone as a “wine-drinking teetotaller”? That is to say, there is no such thing.

Yours sincerely, Zoë Edden Dear Zoë, I could not agree with you more and it was meant tongue in cheek.

I am an omnivore but spend my life being described as a carnivore, equally annoying.

I respect people’s right to choose what they eat but laugh at those who claim to be something they are not. Ms V knows full well what I think of her pick food habits. Thanks for your letter, and for reading my columns.

Highlight on human rights With the Olympics in Beijing now upon us, it is important to further highlight the appalling human rights record of the Chinese government.

Quite apart from the restrictions on political freedoms, freedom of expression and freedom of the press that affects the day-to-day lives of Saaed Jazee Chinese people is the government’s use of the death penalty.

Amnesty International estimates that at least 6,000 people are executed every year in China, which equates to almost one person per hour – more than every other country in the world put together – and crimes punishable by death include economic and non-violent crimes such as tax fraud.

The Amnesty International Brighton and Hove group is part of an extensive network of local people that campaign to protect human rights for all through fundraising, letter-writing, awareness-raising at events like Pride and the upcoming Beachdown Festival, and numerous other activities. While it easy to assume that a group of people in Brighton can have little effect on governments overseas this is not true, and we have very real successes. In the past week Saaed Jazee, an Iranian convicted of murder aged 17 and sentenced to death, has been pardoned after an extensive campaign of which the local group was part.

We meet on the first Thursday of every month at the Community Base on Queens Road at 8pm and always welcome anyone who wants to come along to find out more.

Put simply; the Olympics is the arena where the best athletes in the world gather to compete against each other, themselves and the elements while performing a variety of sports and activities to challenge the endurance, accuracy, speed and agility of the human being. That should be the end of it, but we know that it is not.

Firstly, if you’re fanatical enough about the Olympics to have stayed glued to the 12 hour non-stop coverage on BBC1 and BBC2 everyday then us lot in the Latest Sport Bunker will consider you an Olympian too, especially if you’ve competed naked in the best of Greek traditions.

The XXIV Olympiad taking place in Beijing has given us our usual Olympic treats; a sensational opening ceremony and firework display that even the Chinese had to fake parts of because it was too spectacular to be true, perennial British rowing expectations, superhuman Chinese girls storming away with the medals in the weights, miming singers and curious mascots that symbolise curious themes.

But these Olympics have never just been about the sports. Just count how many times each presenter will mention the smog. Or the number of empty seats that the evicted locals can’t afford forcing the image-savvy Chinese authorities to bus yellow-clad volunteers from event to event.

“A sensational opening ceremony and firework display that even the Chinese had to fake parts of” And it won’t be surprising to learn that this isn’t the first Olympiad to have tangled itself up with contemporary politics or nationalistic propaganda.

The independence-seeking Irish were forced to compete under the British flag in the fourth Olympics in London in 1908. There was Hitler’s racist torch waving Nazi pomp in Berlin in 1936 that went tits-up for the Führer when the black American Jesse Owens heroically took home four Jesse Owens at the gold medals. Tommie Smith and John Carlos 1936 Olympics proudly performed the Black Power salute on the medal podium for the 200-metres in Mexico City in 1968. There was the Moscow games boycott by 64 countries including the USA in 1980 to protest against the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union. And four years later the Soviet Union returned the gesture by boycotting the Los Angeles games along with 14 of its allies.

Yet while diplomatic praises are thrown at this year’s hosts by some for the over-managed organisation, China’s eagerness to display its own sense of perfection has revealed a complete opposite. Like a host who runs out of time before their guests arrive, who trys to sweep all their unwanted dust under a nearby carpet hoping no one will notice, while we’re all watching, China hopes to ignore its troubles and continue on its way towards world domination – and I don’t just mean topping the Olympic medals chart. But with cameras and dictaphones pointing east, Tibet protests, civil rights campaigning, environmental questions and inequality concerns will rightly demand the attention of the Chinese authorities and our own, along with the record-breaking human endeavours beamed back into our homes thousands of miles on the other side of the globe. Because isn’t that what the real spirit of the Olympics is all about?

When Pierre de Coubertin, the initiator of the modern games, tried to capture the ideal of his creation he wrote; “The most important thing in the Olympic games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.” Unfortunately these words may have been lost in translation by the Chinese and others before, but what Britain will make of them in four years? Only time will tell.

Simply Champneys

Perfectly Mattifying Toner – £8, 250ml. For spa-feeling skin at home, this product works a treat. It helps to rebalance the skin, keeping it shine-free and smooth, perfect if you have oily skin. With a clean, fresh scent, this product really does work and leaves my oily skin feeling soft and clear all day.

Latest 7 tries some of Champneys best products for head-to-toe beauty and relaxation It’s true what they say: you can’t beat quality. When it comes to beauty and skincare products this remains true. You get what you pay for and with Champneys, it’s blissful, pampering indulgence.

Here we bring you the best of Champneys, with some wonderful new additions to their bath and skincare range. Make your pampering wish list and ensure sure these products are at the top.

Moisture Miracle Facial Oil – £13.50, 13ml. This is a gorgeous smelling oil, which is easily absorbed and left my skin feeling soft and silky. Really lovely product, let down by the packaging which, although very pretty was not very bathroom user-friendly; the glass bottle easily got oily and the contents tipped over into the sink.

Invigorating Body Wash for Men – £5, 200ml. After a struggle to actually squeeze some of this into my hand I was rather impressed. A little goes a long way and it does not easily get washed away by the shower – a problem with so many. It is also gently invigorating, and by that I mean it is not too abrasive or too astringent. So no grit and no sting, a pleasant enough perfume that does not cling and is efficient when it comes to washing. Needing only a small amount makes it surprisingly economical too.

2

Blissful Body Butter – £9, 350ml. A beautiful silky and light moisturising body cream. This was easy to apply and with the most beautiful fragrance of light lemon souffle. On a scale of one to ten this easily gets a nine.

3

Chill & Tone Ice Gel – £20, 150ml.

Promising to firm, tone and smooth cellulate-prone zones. This is a light, nongreasy but easily absorbed gel that delivers a pleasant coolness leaving soft and smooth-feeling skin. The skin tingling sensation works a treat and feels like it is working its magic long after the application.

6

Purifying Blemish Gel – £8.50, 15ml. I was unsure of how much of this product to apply – a small amount from quite a small tube didn’t seem like it would go far, but like most, products, I went by the ‘less is more’ approach.

Applied to ‘problem’ areas – redness and breakouts, the skin tingled on application, a good sign as you feel it’s actually working. The salicylic acid decongests pores and regulates excess oil fighting bacteria and calming any redness. Makeup can be applied over the product, although I used this on clean skin at night.

Perfect Sleep Bath Milk – £8, 200ml. A little goes a long way, as a very tense week was soothed away despite myself. With this gorgeous smelling bathmilk designed to promote a better sleep – I didn't want to get out of the bath!

Rainbow revolution Zara Baker looks at eating seasonal foods and those of the colours of the rainbow in pursuit of a healthy diet

Eat in moderation, don’t follow that diet, choose to eat this, don’t eat that: it seems we are being told something new every day when it comes to eating healthy. But as new diet fads and celebrity eating trends come and go, the core diet rules are always there. Eat what you like, but sensibly. Food is something to be enjoyed. It’s no fun munching on the same foods day in, day out. A diet should be varied, and by eating a myriad of foods, consisting largely of fruit and vegetables, cooking can also be made fun again.

Standing in the supermarket, debating whether the price of an organic uncut loaf was really worth it over a wholemeal alternative, an elderly man started talking about appreciating good food. Starting a speech that would make Del and Rodney’s Uncle Albert proud: “During the war, food was scarce.” Now this older man valued good, traditional and wholesome food, whether it was ripe tomatoes or a fresh bloomer.

In a society of ready meals and fast food, have we lost our appreciation for healthy, fresh food? We certainly shouldn’t wait for a health scare to kick us into eating right. Healthcare professionals are always busy promoting a diet rich in fruit and vegetables, with the latest advertising trend to eat as colourful as possible.

Our portions of food are no longer about following the food pyramid displayed on the wall in Home Economics at school, with fats eaten sparingly and fruit and exercise making up the base of the pyramid.

Colour plays an important part, with bright and diverse colours encouraged for optimum nutrients. Eat red foods such as tomatoes and watermelon, which contain lycopene, to help fight heart disease. Blue and purple foods can protect against cancers too.

Go one step further and choose organic fruit and vegetables that are in season. Eating with the seasons ensures we get the blend of nutrients needed. By shopping locally and seasonally, you are also playing a large part in supporting small businesses and decreasing your carbon footprint.

Choosing organic ensures high-quality food, free from preservatives and additives. A healthier diet should not be seen as simply a way to lose weight. It should be a lifestyle choice, and while there may be more fast food out there, there is also more organic and healthy food companies open for business. It’s time to support the latter and enjoy good, wholesome foods again.

Often times, we have heard and seen photos of models falling on the catwalk during fashion shows. Every time I see these, there is always a kind of joy that wells up within me because I know this is a path I must take someday. Let us look at it closely, heading south on a catwalk is to me unavoidable, if you do lots of catwalk. Imagine a model who has travelled four different countries doing at least 15 fashion shows, all within five days, then in one of those shows she slips and falls, gets up and finishes the runway and you think that is a failure? No honey. That is professionalism!

Every supermodel I know of has fallen down on the catwalk. In fact it looks as though it’s an impossibility to become ‘super‘ if you have not headed south, funny, but I am talking statistics here.

A few weeks ago, I sat with a group of models to watch on the internet clips of falls on the catwalk. Boy, there are so many that you begin to think that is all that happens during fashion weeks. You see different kinds of falls. Some fall so bad that they cannot even continue, others fall because of the high shoes and it’s so funny when the shoes come out of place but still hooks to the model’s legs so that she finishes the catwalk in one shoe. Then there are those that fall completely to the ground, get up, and finish the runway as though nothing happened.

“ I have always been a fan of models falling over on the catwalk” Now, if ever I fall (which is inevitable) on the catwalk, it is in this last category I will like to be in. As we watched and talked about these clips, some of the models began to recount their experiences of falling and how it felt, and still feels.

As they talked, they all had one thing in common: the pride they felt, and still feel, after getting up to finish the catwalk. I have always been a fan of models falling over on the catwalk. When a model falls, I say, ‘Congratulations’ because it’s a thing to be proud of, not ashamed. Now don’t get me wrong here, the pride I am talking about here is not in the falling, rather it’s the confidence with which you get up to finish your job that I am a huge fan of. Have I fallen on the catwalk?

No. Will I fall someday?

Oh, yes. For now, I have no personal experience what it feels like after a fall on the catwalk, but I do know what it feels like to almost fall.

This week I had a show that almost saw me heading south on the runway-almost. I had been out once and waiting to make my second appearance in a skirt with a tail so long I felt like royalty. As I reached the middle of the catwalk, still feeling like royalty, this model making a return managed, I have no idea how, to step on my tail. Boy, I stumbled badly. Now I am glad I didn’t fall, as this was not the kind of fall I anticipated – I was heading south with my face and one hand towards the floor, while the other hand was holding on to the dress. Nonetheless, I managed to regain my balance and continued.

When I returned back stage, I could still feel the adrenaline rushing through me, and the ‘almost falling experience’ didn’t feel so good – I guess it was because of the way I almost fell.

However, I still look forward to the day I shall fall on the catwalk because I know it will be an experience that will always make me laugh and proud. latest 7 17

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD&DRINK

Dues paid Andrew Kay returns to catch up with Due South on Brighton beach

I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and Due South. Yes, it would take not an ounce of effort to persuade me back after this recent visit. I have been a fan since it opened, having eaten memorable Sussex lamb, first-class oysters and incredible honey on-the-comb, one sunny summer’s afternoon. But, in the past, there have been moments of disappointment, slow service more than anything, even though the food when it arrived more than made up for that.

This time it was peak hours on one of the city’s busiest days of the year. Mr L and I had met up for a quick glass of white before braving the fierce summer wind cutting across the pebbles and at 8pm precisely took our seat in pole position in the window.

There are fewer tables now and I guess this improves the rate at which food is delivered. The proof was in a delivery which was perfectly paced, neither rushed nor tardy.

The premise of Due South is local seasonal produce. It’s now something of a bandwagon with every Tom, Dick and Harry claiming an eco-conscience, but when they opened it was new thinking, or old thinking reborn. Anyway it’s a good idea and I trust that they do everything they can to live by it.

When it comes to food style the canvas is global. We started with a small glass of chilled gazpacho, which hit just the right spot. I chose pigs head with black pudding, pea ice cream and truffled brioche. You might have guessed I would choose that, I know. Anyway, it was a sensation of tastes and textures, genuinely brilliant cooking, accomplished, refined, need I go on? Pea ice cream you ask? P for perfection, I reply.

By now the sun was drooping into Worthing and the wind rising. We were making very light work of a superb bottle of Brouilly, the wine list does travel further than any of the food although there are plenty of Sussex wines, but as yet no red. They do ask for customers to let them know if they find a local red of note.

Our waiter, a girl who more than knew her food and wine, then delivered a martini glass with a ginger beer sorbet, sitting in a small drop of grenadine and doused with a splash of Bushmills whiskey and topped with a fine corkscrew of spun sugar. Yes, all that to cleanse the palate, and it did, but in a rather fun way. Hoorah for sorbet this good!

So finally on to dessert where sadly the gods were against both us and the kitchen. The promise of a cherry soufflé with smoked almonds and salt caramel ice cream was too much to resist for both of us, so we went against the rules and had the same. Sadly the soufflé did not soufflé, or if it did the sharp shock of a hot oven and a sea breeze gave it the droop, and droopy soufflé becomes a sweet omelette. It wasn’t horrible, the flavour combinations were clever, cherry, smoke, caramel and salt, but there was no getting over the disappointment, especially as I had seen two top-hat like soufflés only a short while before ours. Everyone was disappointed and the apologies were profuse. However the rest of the meal was so utterly brilliant that we soon forgot this setback and carried on with a glass of dessert wine, Banyuls Red, which is quite delicious and finally double espressos which came with teaspoons filled with a bitter chocolate and raspberry mousse, mined with space dust – fancy and frivolous at the same time.

Due South has come of age. Where once there was an air of worthiness, there is now one of sophistication. The service is smart and friendly, the staff know what they are doing. The food is brilliant and takes centre stage as it should, it is however now a far more glamorous affair with fine and accomplished cooking married to stylish presentation. At £38 a head for our extended Sussex showcase menu, it was excellent value; cheaper than a West End theatre ticket but with just as much drama, even with the corpsing soufflé. I forgive them that, it can happen to anyone.

Due South, 139 Kings Road Arches, Brighton Beach, BN1 2FN 01273 821 218, www.duesouth.co.uk

ANDREW KAY

‘‘Pea ice cream you ask? P for perfection, I reply’’ Mr L chose a braised quail, which had been totally boned, stuffed and reformed into a meaty sphere. It came with an intense reduction and swirls of white bean puree. He declared it delicious too, but was downcast that my dish had three or four components to his one – with dressings. I explained that his was small but perfectly formed.

A short while later we received an extra dish of red mullet fillet, served on a fluffy potato puree with an oyster mushroom ravioli and a rasher of perfect crisp bacon. At the last moment the waiter dressed the whole with a foam-topped bisque. Classy stuff this, with heaps of style and theatre, way beyond the simple menus that I had eaten from before. And it performed as well on the palate as it did on the plate, exciting combinations – once again of taste and texture.

Mr L moved on to a local blue lobster ravioli with a summer vegetable salad and the lightest of broths. How I looked on with envy at his broad beans and samphire, let alone the lobster-filled pasta cushion. His verdict: perfection, but with his top mark going to the broth.

I stayed meaty, this time with pigeon. How I hate them on our street and how I love them on a plate. Here two bloody breasts sat on smoked beetroot blini topped, with crunchy white cabbage and a potato tuille. At the last moment more theatre, this time with a cream of pea shoot sauce. Mr L was working the refined and delicate side of the menu, whilst I was doing the bold and robust – ladylike and butch you might say.

BRIGHTON & HOVE FOOD AND DRINK FESTIVAL 2008

WELCOME TO THE BRIGHTON & HOVE FOOD AND DRINK FESTIVAL 2008

A FISHY TALE Brighton started out as a fishing village until the Prince Regent came and turned it into a party town. This year the festival is celebrating the city’s roots by launching with ‘Fish on the Front’, a fantastic market of raw and cooked fishy delights, including oysters, crabs, lobsters, sea bass and other seafood caught in a 30-mile radius.

The fish included will be from sustainable fishing sources, with an emphasis on fishermen who use good management practices to safeguard jobs, secure fish stocks and help protect the marine environment. Some indiscriminate fishing methods can have devastating impacts on marine species and habitats. Buying locally caught sustainable fish is an important way of protecting the environment.

Visit the seafood market, learn to open an oyster and children can have fun at the free Princess & Pirates fun area, where budding pirates can walk the plank, dig for buried treasure and princesses can have a makeover. Dress up and have some fantasy fun. Organised by the Sparkles & Surprises complex special needs children’s charity.

FISH ON THE FRONT, 6TH SEPTEMBER 11AM-4PM BRIGHTON MARINA SEAFOOD MARKET AND PRINCESS & PIRATES KID’S FUN DAY.

The Brighton & Hove Food and Drink Festival is - for the first time - holding major public market events every single weekend of September this year!

The trendiest city’s food festival is a celebration of the best of food and drink available in Sussex and is one of the leading community events in Brighton & Hove’s ‘city of festivals’ annual line up. Last year over 50,000 consumers enjoyed the festival events.

Please come along and try out something new and tasty at our events which are fun for foodies and families - or both!

The festival is run as a strictly not-for-profit co-operative, bringing together several companies and individuals with a range of specialist skills and a shared love of food, drink and Brighton & Hove.

THEY INCLUDE: Chair: Roger Marlowe, Paula Seager, MD Natural PR Ltd, Melissa Love, We Love Local, Frank Jay, New Era Associates, Jake Kempston, KOBA, Ida Lee, JUSTBIZ, Adam Style, Style Accountants, Jade Gandey, Rageous Media Knitted fish by Kate Jenkins, Cardigan, www.cardigan.ltd.uk Cover photo by Bip Mistry, www.bipmistry.com

ECO FOCUS FOR FESTIVAL This year festival organisers want to be more eco-friendly than ever. We have supported local producers and encouraged people to buy local for four years now, but we are now taking a further step to protect the environment by banning the use of plastic bags and containers at our markets.

Stall holders are supporting us and have been provided with supplier details to equip themselves with paper bags and biodegradable food packaging, cups, etc and have agreed not to participate unless they have equipped themselves appropriately.

Where we can contain waste, which is at markets which do not cover a wide area of public land that includes public bins as well as our own, we will ensure that all the rubbish from the stalls is recycled or composted.

FOOD PRICES, FOOD CRISIS? THE GREAT FOOD DEBATE

Food prices are rising dramatically and everyone is starting to feel the difference. Some people argue we have been paying too little for too long, others say food should remain inexpensive whatever the consequences.

What is the real price of food and who really pays? This year’s debate will investigate the effect of rising food prices. Will ethical food choices be affordable, or will organic, local, free-range and fair trade be crossed off the shopping list? Should large-scale, industrialised farming be encouraged or is there another way?

Come and have your say at the debate, with a panel of national experts including Professor Tim Lang from City University, and Carolyn Steel, author of Hungry City.

The debate will be chaired by Simon Fanshawe. Tickets £3 on the door or free for members of the Brighton & Hove Food Partnership (you can join at the door).

THE THISTLE HOTEL KINGS ROAD, BRIGHTON SEAFRONT THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 11TH DOORS 7PM DEBATE FROM 7.30-9:00PM For more information please contact Ann Baldridge at the Food Partnership on 01273 431700 or email ann@bhfood.org.uk.

odd knowing nod – and somehow crams in a French Elvis impersonator. The open-air production was beset by windy weather, but even the seagulls couldn’t drown out the panto-like gusto of the actors. However, nor could the humour mask the play’s strange misogyny. It’s kind of unsettling to hear an audience chuckling as a woman’s will is broken by her husband through starvation and sleep deprivation.

Then again, the sheer wit of the banter between them suggests her slavish obedience is perhaps just a form of kinky roleplay. In any case, this was an amicable and funny show.

Esser, potentially London’s Mike Skinner, played a lively, funky set.

Downbeat Scots, Camera Obscura, were the perfect postEsser chillout. The crowd was soon swept away in epic Americana style, ending day one triumphantly. It’s a shame day two was so shaky. Acoustic rockabilly pair Peggy Sue suffer as a bad mix made their vocals

uncharacteristically shrieky.

HOT REVIEW OF THE WEEK Vodafone TBA gig The dazed and delighted looks on the faces of the audience on Brighton seafront told the whole story. People were pinching themselves trying to overcome their disbelief that not only were they watching the most high profile line-up to grace the city for years but it was all for free.

The fortunate thousands showed their gratitude by bouncing around joyously in the sunshine as first locals The Pipettes, then Midlands rapper The Streets, then pop favourite McFly and finally US funk rockers N*E*R*D* played for them with the West Pier as a backdrop.

Each had been hand-picked by Vodafone's event organiser for their live performance prowess and none of them disappointed.

Brighton Beach, 10 August ✌✌✌✌✌ Robbie Hayward

Comic Boom The stalwart of mixing new acts with old had a great night to break off for its summer holidays with.

With the return of Reeves Peterson, upping his game with his delivery and holding his own as opener, followed by Israeli comic Yariv Perelmuter who played the minority card nicely, only occasionally crossing the line in comparing terrorists, and rounding the first third off with class wordmeister Adam Smith it was cracking. Bola Ajani showed the line-up was no fluke breaking out rounds of applause for her Nigerian mother tales, Mark Simmons kept the laughter up and Liz Carr kept her humour caustic and on the ball from her wheelchair. When headliner Simon Evans stepped on stage he was the perfect dessert to such a feast. Jo Enright, as ever, a class compere.

Komedia, 31 July ✌✌✌✌✌ Victoria Nangle

Bright ‘n’ Queer It was hard to remember that some of these seven talented comics were not professionals and had only performed a handful of gigs.

All were gems, strung together by confident compere Steve Bustin raising money for Pride. Attending the later show, we felt like the more raucous audience and by the end of the night irreverent, manic Robert White had everyone laughing uncontrollably, even when he performed an interpretation of Princess Di’s death with silly sound effects – a daring move with an audience mainly of gay men.

STAND-UP COMEDY&BOOKS

A laughing matter

Write club

For Victoria Nangle, Edinburgh preview shows give a special insight into the workings of the comedian’s craft Stewart Lee – comic, writer, provoker of religious outcry with his musical Jerry Springer – The Opera, and in the last couple of years ‘dad’. He’s got a new DVD out of the show that hit the Brighton Festival and the Paramount Comedy Festival last year – 41st Best Stand Up Ever. “It’s much better now than the first time I did it,” he assures me when I tell him I caught it at the Brighton Festival over a year ago. When asked to describe it he’s surprisingly lost for words. “I can tell you what’s in it,” he offers. That sounds good.

“It was this Channel 4 show of the top 100 comics and I came in at number 41 and I don’t know how that happened. So I decided to write a show about the hilarious gulf between supposedly being the 41st best standup ever and not being able to do any telly, theatre or whatever.” He pauses. “And also the fact that my mother thinks that I’m terrible and should give up after 20 years.” But there’s a twist in the tale. Stewart explains. “The weird thing was that the show started to do really well.

Quite a lot of people came to see it. In the time of doing it I got a BBC2 series commissioned. So it was really funny, it kind of defeated fate.”

He’s trying out new material for the TV show in Edinburgh during the festival under the show title Scrambled Eggs, promising new material each night. I ask him if he likes Edinburgh.

“Best of all really. Well, Brighton’s really good as well. A Brighton audience is pretty much like an Edinburgh Fringe audience. You get people that are used to going to see live stuff – you don’t have to try and educate them. You can get moving quickly.”

With the release of this DVD and the new TV work I ask him about the internet-popular and much reminisced over With Rich Not Judy show he did in the 90s with Richard Herring. Will it ever be released?

He says it’s not viable. What about a reunion with his old comedy partner? “It was based on the relationship we had as teenagers when we met and it’s quite hard to do that in your 40s. What I think would be really funny would be to do it in our 60s. I think we should do it as old men. Leave it for a long time and then do it in the Royal Albert Hall,” he giggles at the idea.

And what about accusations of his material softening in recent years? “I started to get a bit fed up in 2004 with unremittingly cynical material, and I’d look at Boothby Graffoe or Daniel Kitson and think – they’re as funny as cynics but they’re romantic. So I started to wonder if I could write stuff that was more positive. “Ånything else? “I think that having a baby makes it more difficult to be unlimitedly cynical,” he Stewart Lee admits.

“Something happy will happen to you every day.” Ah. And he’s gone.

41st Best Stand Up Ever by Stewart Lee is out on DVD now, released by Real Talent

John Davies Attempts to finish Stephen Pinker’s The Stuff of Thought while travelling…

We’re about five days into our summer holiday trip to San Francisco, travelling on to Yosemite and Palm Springs. The jet lag’s wearing off and that special sense of place I associate with being in America, a kind of beautiful gratitude, is beginning to reassert its hold.

On the plane over, as I promised myself, I finished reading the paperback edition of Stephen Pinker’s new book, The Stuff of Thought (subtitle: Language as a Window into Human Nature). It’s the third book in a trilogy including The Language Instinct and Words and Rules.

If like me you love words in all their shapes and size and read the OED for pleasure, but fell asleep during Geoffrey Leach’s lectures on linguistics at Lancaster, this is a book for you. Full of fascinating insights and information, it’s an easy-going read given its subject matter.

For those of you who don’t know Pinker, he once taught in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT and is now a Professor in the Psychology Department at Harvard University. He’s super-bright and a great populariser of current psychological and philosophical thinking.

In his own words, The Stuff of Thought takes ‘a close look at our speech – our conversations, our jokes, our curses, our legal disputes, the names we give our babies’ to ‘give us insight into who we are.’ He does this by pitching the case for conceptual semantics. This argues that the conceptual content behind language is like a language itself – ‘a language of thought’, ‘the conceptual infrastructure of homo sapiens’.

He argues the case for this theory against a number of others – Extreme Nativism – word meanings are innate, indivisible wholes; Radical Pragmatics – ‘there are no mental representations of word meanings’; and Linguistic Determinism – ‘language controls how people think’, i.e. we think in words. Along the way he makes some pretty telling points supported by recent work in experimental psychology.

He argues that the theory of conceptual semantics occupies the middle ground, ‘word senses are mentally represented as expressions in a richer and more abstract language of thought … compatible with all of the complications’. He quotes Hobbes and Siegfried Sassoon (Limitations): Words are fools Who follow blindly, once they get a lead.

But thoughts are kingfishers that haunt the pools Of quiet; seldom seen…

For writers, Pinker gets especially interesting on the subject of metaphor and the ‘metaphor metaphor’. George Lakoff and philosopher Mark Johnson have collected together dozens of conceptual metaphors, such as ‘love is a journey’ or ‘argument is war’. Analysing these Pinker thinks it’s possible to discern an explanation for the evolution of human intelligence as ‘a product of metaphor and combinatorics.’ (Combinawotsits allow a finite set of simple ideas to give rise to an infinite set of complex ones.)

There are plenty of jokes, including some great Dilbert cartoons to relieve the stodgier sections, particularly the first 80 pages or so where Pinker explores different parts of speech to show how strange language can be. ‘The basic ideas that govern our thoughts in everyday life can show themselves to be as eccentric as the Mock Turtle or the Queen of Hearts.’ There are ‘implicit theories of physics and psychology’ in the way that verb classes are finicky about the constructions they enter into. Language seems to be preset with a set of common sense (and not always scientifically accurate) ideas about time, space, force and intention.

Thought-provoking in a finger-licking kind of way, The Stuff of Thought leaves you with plenty to think about. It set me thinking about one of my conceptual hobby-horses – exactly what is the connection between place, language and body? Maybe I’ll find the answer in Yosemite…

Happy holidays!

STAGE

Dead serious Mystery and mayhem rule in a new gripping thriller…

Richard Harris’ gripping psychological thriller The Business of Murder heads to Eastbourne’s Devonshire Park Theatre this week, starring Stephen Beckett, who is probably best known for his roles in Coronation Street and The Bill.

Set in London, in the early 1980s, Detective Inspector Hallet, played

by Beckett, is asked to the flat of a

character called Stone. Stone’s son is selling drugs and heading for trouble. Desperate to give his son a wake-up call, Stone looks to DI Hallet to help get his son back on the straight and narrow.

At the same time a successful TV scriptwriter has been invited to the flat to discuss a new play written by Stone’s wife. These two

visits are seemingly unconnected, or are they? It soon becomes clear that things are not quite as they first appear and that this trio has a sinister and terrifying connection.

Written by Stepping Out and Party Piece author, Richard Harris, The Business of Murder is packed full of red herrings and subterfuge.

The Business of Murder Devonshire Park Theatre, Eastbourne from Monday 18 until Saturday 23 August with nightly performances 7.45pm with 2.30pm matinee performances on Wednesday and Saturday.

Tickets £13.50–£19.50 with concessions available for evening performances. Box office 01323 412000 or www.eastbournetheatres.co.uk

High passion Tosca and Carmen lead the operatic charge in Eastbourne…

Opera returns to Eastbourne’s Congress Theatre this autumn. The renowned international touring company, Ellen Kent, return to the Grade II listed building, with brand new productions of Tosca (5 September) and the world premiere of their new production of Carmen (6 and 7 September).

These sumptuous new productions will feature an incredible amphitheatre-style setting, which is sure to take your breath away, as they are performed by a large company; including hand-picked international soloists and the full Chisinau National Philharmonic Orchestra.

Carmen, as you have never seen it before, is staged in a bullring to add a new and spectacular twist to Bizet’s famous and seductive opera.

Complete with bullfighters, flamenco dancers, and acclaimed Spanish guitar player Fernando de Sevilla and including Sam Quy last seen in the Royal Opera House’s production of Carmen.

A brass band parading through the venue into the bullring will start this must see performance. Sung in French with English subtitles.

The passion, true love, torture and treachery of Tosca is spectacularly staged against the backdrop of Rome’s Colosseum.

One of the most dramatic operas ever written, Tosca is set in the era of the Napoleonic wars, and this spectacular Roman setting heightens the corruption of the period. With two of the best roles for tenor and

The film follows his mission to battle the forces of the evil corporation KAOS. Working alongside him are Anne Hathaway’s Agent 99 and Dwayne Johnson, aka wrestling superstar The Rock, as Agent 23.

Chuck in 60s icon Terence Stamp, the always dependable Alan Arkin, and a clever little cameo from Bill Murray and you have a brilliantly formed farce.

American songstress Norah Jones plays a young woman travelling across America in an attempt to find love and meaning. In doing so she encounters a series of offbeat characters and many a quirky situation. Jude Law adds a particularly smug element to

Dir: Jonathan Haswell Recorded by the BBC in 2007, Italianborn Anna Caterina Antonacci plays the fickle temptress of the title. German tenor Jonas Kaufmann plays Don José, the soldier she forces to murderous jealousy. The outstanding cast, under the guiding baton of Antonio Pappano, play out the famous story with its sexy solos and impassioned arias. Since first appearing on the Paris stage in 1875, Bizet’s Carmen has remained one of the most enduringly popular operas.

Catch it on the big screen.

ROH Romeo and Juliet (U/C) Dir: Ross MacGibbon This big-screen showing is a wonderful one-off treat. Recorded by the BBC in 2007, Kenneth MacMillan’s interpretation of Shakespeare’s tragedy is one of the most popular works in the Royal Ballet repertory.

The setting is Renaissance Verona, where a chance meeting ignites a profound love between Romeo and Juliet, bringing with it at first hope of uniting their families, then misunderstanding, and finally tragedy and death. Prokofiev’s music adds a final touch of class to proceedings.

FILMFILM

Man who Cannes Russian director Andrey Zvyagintsev talks to Latest 7 about acclaimed film The Banishment What would you say were your first influences in cinema?

Antonioni was my first meeting with cinema.

Before I had known that cinema is great but had no idea that it is magical and unique. I realised it when I saw L’Avventurra by Antonioni. Then I saw Eclipse by Antonioni, then Night and then all of his films. Those first three black and white films of his remain a peak of possible achievement in cinema.

How did you come to direct?

When I am asked about my film education I prefer to answer in the following way: I studied theory in the ticket office of Moscow Cinema Museum where I bought paperback books which described the views of great film directors of cinema. I studied practice in the Cinema Museum in Kinocentre in Moscow where I could see films representing history of cinema from Dreyer to Bunuel, from Bresson to Godard, from Bergman to the Darden brothers. I studied at the acting department of Moscow Theatre College. After graduating from it I did not want to work in state theatres but preferred to work in independent theatre projects.

I am sure it takes probably three or four months to learn all technical information necessary for directors in their work. You can learn piano playing for ten years but you will never become a piano player if music does not play in your heart.

and were psychological detective stories with thriller elements. It was my first project with producer Dmitry Lesnevsky and cinematographer Mikhail Krichman. After that we decided to look for a script for a full length feature film.

For The Banishment when I saw in it the possibility to tell not just a story of a ruined family but a deeper mythological root of events, it became a powerful engine, inspiring the film as a whole.

What was your vision in making The Banishment?

I dreamed that I would make a film, and people walking along the street would see the title of the film on at the cinema, and buy a ticket not knowing anything about it and enter the screening room without any knowledge about it, completely unprepared. It is impossible now to my regret, and my dream will not become true. When there is such a wave of noise around the film there is nothing new for the audience. The viewer cannot get rid of the opinions he has heard, cannot see the film alone – there are so many critics, film

specialists, respectable opinions. But then this is a chamber film, very introvert, it is for a different mood of the audience.

Cinema for me is a means of making breakthroughs, discoveries about myself and others. And that’s what happened to me in The Banishment. I’ve discovered something about myself. Something not very pleasant but still – if the viewer leaves the cinema as a different person that’s a good reward for me.

How was it having the film make such a critical splash at Cannes this year?

It was a great day for me, for all of us. But I can’t even describe how anxious I was when I was watching the premiere. And you know, the audience watched it so attentively. There was silence. No one spoke. It was great.

Clearly, it was like a lottery. There are 20 equally brilliant balls in a basket, and someone draws one, then another blindly, at random.

Staking all your hopes, your future, and your moods on lotto, is wrong. There’s a movie and my relationship with it. I have to continue my work, film my next movie. Film directors have no alternatives. I’ll just keep on doing my job.

Apart from your 2003 film The Return where did you hone your skills?

Before The Return I shot three short films for Ren TV: Busido, Obscure and Choice for the series Black Room. They were shot on video

Also showing…

A quick look at what’s on this week The Dark Knight (12A) Dir: Christopher Nolan The only real contender for Indy’s crown of most anticipated blockbuster this year is, of course, the return of Mr Bruce Wayne, A.K.A Batman. Christopher Nolan returns to helm the sequel to his stunning super-hero reboot Batman Begins with Heath Ledger creeping out Christian Bale, in the role he’ll be remembered for as none other than Batman’s archnemesis The Joker. A stellar cast bolsters proceedings with Michael Caine as butler Alfred, Aaron Eckhart as conflicted D.A Harvey Dent, Gary Oldman as Chief Gordon and Maggie Gyllenhaal as love interest Rachel Dawes. Ledger’s tipped for an Oscar for his haunting turn in the role rumoured to have pushed him over the edge before his tragic demise, so expect queues around the block for this classy comic-book adaptation.

Showing at Odeon and Cineworld

Mamma Mia! (PG) Dir: Phyllida Lloyd A young woman searches for her real father whilst singing along to ‘Dancing Queen’, ‘Mamma Mia’ and other hits by Swedish super-troopers Abba. Meryl Streep plays the kookie mum with Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård and Pierce Brosnan as the potential dads. The long-running and everpopular stage musical finally makes its way onto the big screen in exuberant, highly acclaimed style.

Showing at Cineworld, Odeon & Worthing The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (12A) Dir: Rob Cohen It might be argued that what with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’s long-awaited emergence, the time’s just right for another installment of this Indy-esque series. Brendan Fraser returns as adventurer Rick O’Connell, as does John Hannah as his cliché bumbling Brit brother-in-law. however, original director Stephen Sommers has jumped ship, replaced strangely by the director of The Fast and the Furious, and the action’s transported to China. Martial arts king Jet Li replaces Arnold Vosloo’s Egyptian baddie as ancient Chinese Emperor Qin, set on ruining the O’Connell family’s holiday.

Showing at Odeon and Cineworld

Wall*E (U) Dir: Andrew Stanton Pixar hit paydirt again with this lovingly rendered cross between 70s eco-sci-fi Silent Running and E.T: The Extra-Terrestrial. The CGI animation giants could have easily opted for another re-run of the cutesy Toy Story formula, but instead go for this admittedly still cutesy, but ultimately meditative love story. Ben Burtt voices the titular cleaning robot (though there’s barely a word) charged with sorting out a polluted Earth after humanity’s jumped ship.

Showing at Odeon and Cineworld Wild Child (12A)) Dir: Nick Moore Julia Roberts’ niece Emma continues on her path toward the kind of megastardom of Auntie Julia with this teen-chick-flick. Seemingly a cross between the caustic Mean Girls and schmaltzy Princess Diaries, Roberts plays Yank brat Poppy, who is sent by her despairing father (Aidan Quinn) to a posh British girls’ school. Needless to say there’ll be sub-Friends stereotyping galore in this bubblegum rites-de-passage comedy.

NEWS T’Pau! 80s Live hits Eastbourne Organisers have just announced the line-up for a new eighties revival show with a difference.

Somewhat different to many of the arguably profit-driven retro-spectaculars, the main goal behind 80s Live!, headlined by T’Pau and Katrina (of Katrina and the Waves) and taking place on Saturday 13 September, is to raise funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign (www.muscular-dystrophy.org). Support comes from a host of eighties names, including Curiosity Killed the Cat, Sonia, Stephen Singleton of ABC, Musical Youth and even Sigue Sigue Sputnik! Alongside the veteran performers will be an ‘acoustic cafe’, featuring new local acts, an aftershow party at Eastbourne’s Funktion Rooms and a ‘Silent Auction’ for a Fender Telecaster guitar signed by the Arctic Monkeys. Tickets are £17.50 from: www.eastbournetheatres.co.uk

T’Pau

Underworld headline City Festival After the success of last year’s one day Brighton City Festival, which featured sets from Soulwax, Babyshambles and Grooverider, the event returns as a three day weekend extravaganza on 23–25 October.

The legendary Underworld headline Friday’s Brighton Centre show as live acts and DJ sets from the likes of The Brand New Heavies, The Wailers and Matthew Herbert take place in venues across the city. Full details will be announced imminently on www.brightoncityfestival.com

Chasing Pavement Stephen Malkmus, former frontman of indie heroes Pavement, plays Komedia with new band The Jicks this week. Nick Aldwinckle met him The unassuming image of Stephen Malkmus belies the former Pavement frontman’s overwhelming influence on modern alternative music. Since exploding onto the Californian indie scene in 1992 with Pavement’s critically acclaimed debut Slanted and Enchanted, a noisy tour-de-force of Pixies-esque melodic grunge, Malkmus has continually produced classic albums fusing a potent rock sensibility with ironic lyrics and pop hooks. The band went on ‘indefinite hiatus’ after five albums in 2000, and since then, Malkmus has made four records with new band, The Jicks.

Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks

With a distinctly more melodic, wittier edge than his previous band’s racket, Malkmus’ postPavement work has had similar acclaim, albeit focusing more on his lyrical skill and country/blues dabbling than trademark guitar thrashing.

The latest, Real Emotional Trash, released this year, is something of a re-imagining of the heavier rock sound that originally made his name.

Malkmus returns to Brighton this week, a place he remembers well. “We played a John Peel session there in 2003. I liked the old pier. It’s like Coney Island or something. I like that castle or fortress or shrine thing that looks like the Taj Mahal.

That thing’s cool. Gary from The Cribs is a friend – he likes the place, so I trust him. He doesn’t like much about England these days, so that’s good.”

The Jicks have just performed at legendary US festival Lollapalooza, where Malkmus’ two young daughters played with the children of festival founder Perry Farrell, a man he describes as ‘very fit, and good at seeming like he knew who I was’.

Brighton’s the first date on a European tour.

Pavement split after their last show in England, so it’s perhaps unsurprising Malkmus isn’t looking forward to it: “I don’t take my family with me, as it’s too far away and it’s tough leaving home. I’m sure once I get there I’ll be happy, but it’s just the getting there”.

Given the cloudy mood, then, it’s maybe appropriate the new record sounds heavier than previous recent efforts. When questioned about whether this is a step closer to the old Pavement sound, Malkmus is vague: “Well, I guess so if it sounds that way. It doesn’t feel that way to us, really. It’s just whatever goes on in the room. We’ve got a new drummer and she’s pretty rocking. I’ve always liked aggressive music, but maybe I’m better at writing pop songs.”

Early Pavement records had a strong focus on squalling guitars, Steve Albini-style dissonance and general noise. Though fond of such things, it seems unlikely Malkmus is heading fully back in that direction, and definitely not into the realm of pure experimentation: “Once you go down the road of doing things that are more about making sounds that are put together well, rather than writing songs, it’s difficult to come back. I like the noise scene and I listen to it, but I guess I don’t have the time.”

With family life, touring, and writing a new album, Malkmus is a busy man. As he puts it, it’s ‘back to the grindstone’ at writing songs during this tour and we can expect to hear brand new Jicks numbers at the Brighton show, something likely to please his formidable British fanbase.

Nick Harper

Soulfly Selfish C**t Why has seemingly every band around at the moment got a rude-sounding name? Holy F*ck, F*ck Buttons, F*cked Up, James Blunt and now this. Anyway, forget the naughty word and concentrate on the quality of this London band’s spiky, arty noise.

Tuesday 19 August, Freebutt Soulfly You gotta credit the persistence of Soulfly frontman Max Cavalera. Former vocalist in classic Brazilian thrash metal band Sepultura, he then formed Soulfy in the numetal boom of the late nineties. Since then, nu-metal’s died, though his band’s samba meets thrash formula still works well. In the sweaty, metal-friendly climes of the Concorde, this should be intense to say the least.

Wednesday 20 August, Concorde 2 Limon Y Sentimiento Latino A night of Cuban music and dance, appealing to everyone from salsa/Latin dancers to jazz lovers. Limon’s Cuban origins are reflected in this non-stop blend of Latin jazz, with a timba (guaracha) class and DJ til late.

Levellers + Seth Lakeman + 3 Daft Monkeys + Nick Harper These Brightonian folk-punk heroes celebrate their twentieth year in the business with yet another new album and this decent ‘picnic gig’ line-up.

Thursday 21 August, The Hope Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. The charismatic Sam Duckworth sets out from Southend once again. Seems like barely a few weeks since he last played Brighton, but if you missed him last time round, check out his glitchy electroballads at this latest Komedia gig.

MUSIC REVIEWS A weekly review of local and national releases Michael Franti and Spearhead have never been known for being stuck in a groove, moving effortlessly through the environs of soul funk, hip hop and now dub reggae via All Rebel Rockers. Recorded in Kingston, Jamaica, with Sly and Robbie at the production helm this once again features outspoken political and progressive lyrics, Franti continues to be an important ambassador for human rights and social justice.

There are rather too many only half-decent singer songwriters out there, armed with acoustic guitars and a tendency to inflict their woes and miseries upon us ordinary heathens. And instead of heading to the revolving door of the next young thing, take some time out to check Eva Cassidy, a songbird who died prematurely at the age of 33 some 12 years ago. Posthumous success came easily but deservedly so, as her beautifully weighted voice and uncluttered guitar-playing style (mixed in with some fuller band numbers) lent itself to countless interpretations of classics and unknowns alike. Somewhere is a gorgeous, and rather more raw, collection of 12 previously unreleased songs that demonstrate her versatility and skill.

There’s a real Australian resurgence at the moment with bands such as Cut Copy, Midnight Juggernauts, Operator, Please coming though over here in the UK. Sparkadia from Sydney could be about to enjoy similar levels of success with their Postcards album, full of timeless and engaging pop and rock sounds, where the better side of Chris Martin meets a 70s sensibility.

Signed to Bjork’s One Little Indian label, singer-songwriter Rose Kemp’s rockular second album, Unholy Majesty, continues to defy any preconceptions you might have about some gentle, wistful thing warbling in a willowy way. Unholy Majesty picks up where debut record, A Handful of Hurricanes, started, albeit with a whole heap more gusto than the excellent first stab. Bringing the guitar wailing and stunningly vocal, primal wailing of Rose herself to new heights of pomp and intensity, that’s not to say there isn’t room for moments of softer sounding, though no less affecting, emotion. This sees the potential of the first record achieved and Kemp’s full impressive range at a powerful peak.

Rose Kemp Next up are Canterbury oddballs Luke Smith and The Feelings and latest single ‘I Don’t Want To Go To Parties Anymore’.

Sub-titled ‘An Anxious Anthem For All Those Opposed to ‘Fascist Fun’, this is a witty, oddly catchy dip into the psyche of a gloriously curmudgeonly figure chronicling the bleak reality of many a party goer. Distinctive, almost spoken-word vocals, piano and Luke Smith brass combine welcomingly like a comfy pair of slippers as the listener finds themselves eased into something stubbornly ‘uncool’. Full to the brim with undeniably British tongue-in-cheek anxiety, you either love this sort of nicely written folk-rock or hate it.

ARTWAVE Chi Ling

Art all over One of the region’s leading art festivals, Artwave is back for its 15th year Did you know that Lewes District has an exceptionally rich collaboration of artists living and working in the area? It truly is a creative jewel in the UK and each year Lewes District Council celebrates this wealth of talent by hosting an annual visual arts festival ‘Artwave’. Now in its 15th year the Artwave 2008 agenda has been proudly launched to detail the event,

Making waves On Wednesday 06 August 2008 at the Old Market Lane Garage in Lewes, Artwave launched their new website ahead of the festival that runs from 23 August to 07 September 2008. From farmhouses to metal workshops, gardens to industrial sites, visual art is displayed for all to enjoy and the event is a must for any creative diary. Artwave 2008 offers a fantastic opportunity for visitors to view artwork by experts and novices side by side, with the opportunity to buy pieces directly from the artists and makers - finding out exactly what moved them to create. For more information visit www.artwavefestival.org

Peter Bushell: Antonia which runs from August 23 – September 7, 2008. Organised by Lewes District Council, Artwave is regarded as one of the regions leading art festivals; showcasing a myriad art forms and is an Open House/Studio event. Spreading throughout the district, Artwave covers the Lewes area, including venues in Lewes, Seaford, Newhaven, Peacehaven, Ditchling, Plumpton and Chailey. Don’t be fooled into thinking that Artwave is purely for the traditionalist though, there is no fixed criteria so be prepared for some very original material!

You can pop in and chat to nationally recognised artists who are drawn to the Lewes District and you can see all kinds of inspiring creative locals producing a range of media. You can meet big names such as Jessica Zoob, who welcomes visitors at her ‘Art Party’ or if you prefer, go and watch Will Nash and Gavin Peacock at work in Black Dog Studio creating their new cutting edge pieces. Take the chance to walk up to the Cuilfail Estate (a normally private road) and visit the studios up there or visit Chetana Thornton’s beautiful and radiant paintings at the enchanting global centre ‘Trading Boundaries’ in Chailey.

For the first time, HMP Lewes will be exhibiting artwork at Christ Church each weekend of the festival. The work on show is broadly themed around the town of Lewes, giving us an insight as to what the inmates reflect on their immediate surroundings.

Newhaven Fort will be hosting three events and reducing entry fee for those who bring a brochure with them – there are so many artwave options. it’s a must for any creative diary.

Will Harris ponders how straight rules of dating apply in the gay world

Pride theme competition The glitter has only just settled on this year’s festival, but organisers are already looking for ideas for the theme for Pride 2009. Previous themes have included The Greatest Show on Earth, The Hit Parade, Carry On, Musicals, Sea World, Silver Screen, Heroes and Heroines and this year's Pride Around the World.

The person behind the winning idea will be treated to a VIP Pride day on Saturday 1 August 2009. Send your suggestion with your name, address, phone number and email address to 6 Bartholomews, Brighton, BN1 1HH before 29 August. The winner will be announced in September.

Organisers have said this year’s parade and party in Preston Park was the biggest yet. Judith Manson, fundraising and communications manager, said: “Despite the weather in the morning this year's event was a huge success. Thank you to everyone who braved the rain to watch the parade, which was the biggest and most flamboyant yet and to the thousands who enjoyed Preston Park to the full.

“Once again the event ran smoothly and we are really pleased to report, although this is the largest free event in the city, it is still the safest, with police arrests down on last year. The atmosphere on the park was well natured and it was great to see so many people from all walks of life enjoying themselves,” she continued.

“No one should underestimate the time, effort and resource it takes to enter a float or walking group into the parade and how hard each organisation on Preston Park works. Pride would not happen without these people and the financial support of our sponsors, local businesses, funders and the public. Pride shows off out great city for what it is – cosmopolitan, diverse, accepting, flamboyant and colourful.”

Beacon funding The Sussex Beacon has won funding to keep a key service running for three years. The Elton John AIDS Foundation has awarded a grant to the Beacon’s health management service, which helps people with HIV cope with emotional and psychological issues.

The foundation will fund up to 1,000 client sessions helping people with everything from anxiety to insomnia, treatment support and building self-esteem and confidence.

The Sussex Beacon in Bevendean Road, Brighton is one of only two HIV national care centres in the UK. Jackie Titley,

head of health management services, said: “We are delighted with the support from the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Our services focus on empowerment; on clients being able to make informed and educated choices for themselves about how they want to manage living with HIV.” Babs Evans, UK grants manager for the Elton John AIDS Foundation, said: “We are pleased to support the nurse-led Health Management Service at the Sussex Beacon to assist people living with HIV to use their own skills in order to positively influence the way they manage situations in the future.”

Do you know, there are single women out there, in restaurants or staring at cinema screens, spending the entirety of that all-important first date worrying that the man sitting at their side will try to bed them at the end of the evening. Personally, I’m usually more concerned that when my date tries to sleep with me he won‘t be any good, but when you’ve already spent half your wages on cocktails and made the effort of climbing into your best pants ’just in case’, I think it’s fair enough to expect to get lucky.

If I was a straight woman, this would be an open and shut case – let’s not forget the old urban legend peculiar to the fairer sex that, up to the third date, offering a man anything more than a firm handshake and a glimpse of their rape alarm will end up with them barren and alone, eating spaghetti hoops straight from the tin. It’s enough to send a shiver down anyone’s ring finger.

“If you manage to get a guy in the vicinity of a tea light and a plate of spaghetti carbonara you’re already ahead of the game” We confirmed bachelors, on the other hand, have no such qualms about breaking the ‘third-date rule’, mostly because, by third-date stage, not only would we have spent a month and a half’s wages on cocktails and had to wash our best pants three times, but both parties would already be on their first date with someone else anyway. Hey, when you’re from a part of society that think it’s appropriate to pick up strangers in public toilets, I figure that if you manage to get a guy even in the vicinity of a tea light and a plate of spaghetti carbonara, you’re already ahead of the game!

I was actually on a first date the other day when I noticed one of my date’s ears was freakishly small – but hear me out (sorry). To be honest, at that point what concerned me most was that we’d been chatting for over an hour and I hadn’t noticed anything amiss but, no, the ear to my left was definitely much smaller than the ear to my right. It was like someone had cut the ear off a doll and stuck it onto the side of an otherwise perfectly good head. I glared accusingly down at the battered celery stick, all that remained of my second Bloody Mary, before surreptitiously pretending to peer at something over his left shoulder.

“Are you looking at my ear?” my date asked.

“No,” I laughed, a split second too late to be believable. “I thought I saw a colleague of mine, that’s all.”

He looked over his left shoulder at a bar empty save for a boredlooking barmaid and a skinhead on crutches who was clearly on day release.

“But he left…?” I continued, doubtfully.

I know it’s wrong to lie, but that night I told him I never did it on a first date. As he walked off into the night, to join the ever-expanding retinue that is the three-ring circus of my dating history, I knew I’d never hear from him again. I wasn’t too worried – there’d be another date along in due course. I’d be sure to keep an ear out for him.

The Martins ★★★✩✩

City Slickers ★★★★✩ (1991, ITV2, 9pm. Dir Ron Underwood) Mitch is a middle aged big-city radio ads salesman. He and his friends Ed and Phil are suffering mid-life crisis.

They decide the best birthday gift is to go on a two-week holiday in the wild west, driving cattle from New Mexico to Colorado. There they meet cowboy Curly, who not only teaches them how to become real cowboys, but also one or two other things about life in the open air of the west.

(2001, BBC1, 11.05pm.

Dir Tony Grounds) Starring Lee Evans, Kathy Burke.

Black comedy about a scrounger, who decides to steal the tickets for an allexpenses-paid-trip to the Isle of Man, after he fails to win the holiday sweepstakes. He takes his dysfunctional family with him, and a series of hilarious events ensues.

SATURDAY 23

The Olympics All the time, BBC 1 and 2 To be honest I do quite like the Olympics. But this year I feel a bit hesitant to watch it. It wouldn’t be so much of a boycott as a – well, it makes me feel a bit guilty inside.

My views are my views and yours are yours, but for the sake of television, lets just pretend that the Olympics is being held in some mystical land were everything is fine and fair.

I absolutely love the opening ceremony of the Olympics. I thought Athens was brilliant and China had a lot to live up to, but there is no doubt in my mind at the time of writing this they will make it spectacular. It was a shame that the opening ceremony was on midafternoon on a Friday, but I’m sure we will all get the chance to watch it.

I am not a big sporting person. I don’t really watch any sports on telly.

Only the tennis when it’s looking good. But sit me in front of the Olympics and I could be there all day. I turn into the most patriotic twat on the planet. I will be screaming at the telly, urging our failing athletes on: hoping for at least one gold, or a silver would do, I would even accept a bronze.

“I will be screaming at the telly, hoping for gold” The only thing that really bothers me about the Olympics is that it completely takes over the TV. You will rarely see anything other than sport on TV, however long it is that it lasts.

Can you believe it’s been four years since the last Olympics? It doesn’t really feel like we have been given a break, what with the London Olympic horror sign and the drug-testing fiascos, we don’t get to look the other way.

And this time around there is the whole political thing surrounding the sports. Will China have been the right choice? I suppose we won’t really know until it’s over, but it does cast quite a shadow over the whole event.

But sport in the modern world we live in wouldn’t be sport without the politics. I don’t think we would know what to do if every sporting event that contained people from different countries wasn’t overseen by a great political cloud. It’s just like Eurovision. But at least the Olympic judges are fair. It is still the raw talent of the singular person or group of people that makes the difference. And, even though this year it comes with some baggage, the people involved should be supported and those who are not involved should be supported too. Get the Union Jack flags out and ready!
