Children’s A&E

Children in Brighton and Hove who need emergency hospital treatment now have their own dedicated A&E within the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital, the first stand-alone children’s emergency department in the South East.

The unit was officially opened on 31 January by Rosie and Alfie Jones, young patients at the Alex, ably assisted by actor and comedian Steve Coogan. Brighton based Rockinghorse Children’s Charity and Sussex restaurant chain Gingerman Restaurant Group have been active in supporting the opening of the new A&E. A donation of £18,250 by Gingerman allowed the charity to provide a 3D pain distraction unit, suitable child seating in the main waiting areas, a separate area for young people, and new staff uniforms.

7 days of headlines with phil mills The Albion draw Liverpool, expansion of the Royal Sussex Hospital and a Turner painting arrives

T

he Albion has again dominated the news. The club’s FA cup draw away to Liverpool on 18 February brings back memories of 1983 when Brighton won at Anfield on their way to the brave but ill-fated Wembley final and replay with Manchester United.

With no room in the Albion end, I stood among the heaving swell of Liverpudlians in the Kop and had to muffle my joy at the win and keep my southern accent to myself throughout the whole 90 minutes. It’s been a fairytale first season for the Albion at their new Falmer ground – let’s hope it continues with a win over the Reds.

There was good news for all those fed up with crumbling ‘Florence Nightingale’ hospital facilities in Brighton. The city council has given approval for a £420m redevelopment which will bring a new 12-storey block, helicopter pad and underground car parking at the Royal Sussex County Hospital.

Improvements will mean the hospital treating hundreds more patients who would otherwise be sent to London hospitals. The downside is that it means massive disruption during construction and more traffic jams.

Comet presented aspiring tennis star Julian Cash from Fulking with a £1,000 cheque to support his training.

And there are spooky plans afoot – a life-sized metal silhouette of an early steam locomotive is to be installed on a redundant railway bridge in New England Road, Brighton. The ‘Ghost Train’ by local metalworker Jon Mills (no relation) is a nostalgic feature in the redevelopment of the city’s former railway works. It will be a twodimensional replica of the locomotive Jenny Lind and special lighting will make the train appear and disappear, creating a “ghostly presence”.

Finally – what a coup for Brighton.

A Turner painting of the city seafront and old chain pier will go on display for the first time in more than a century after being bought for £225,000 at Christie’s, New York, by the Royal Pavilion and Museums with help from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Art Fund, and a donation from the Royal Pavilion & Museums Foundation. The 1824 watercolour which has been in private hands will go on show at the Royal Pavilion soon after it arrives in the city and will be the star attraction of a new exhibition at the palace next year.

Spanish practices Hundreds of parents want their children to go to a school that isn’t open. Frank le Duc learns more

T

he number of young children in Brighton and Hove is growing. It could soon outstrip the number of primary schools places available. So you’d think that when a group of parents volunteered to set up a new school from scratch that everyone would be pleased. But you’d be wrong. Plans for the Brighton and Hove Bilingual Primary School have been greeted with a mixture of praise and trepidation.

The idea of a bilingual primary school has certainly proved attractive to parents. More than 800 contacted the school to inquire about places. What’s astonishing about that is that it doesn’t yet even have a classroom to its name let alone a head teacher or any staff.

A steering group is working overtime to resolve these issues as the school – the first state-funded bilingual primary school in England – plans to open in September. It was one of 55 approved in principle by Education Secretary Michael Gove in October – and was the first of only five that he mentioned by name. One of the others that he named was the sixth form free school being set up by Brighton College in London to teach children from disadvantaged areas.

MULTI-CULTURAL BEGINNINGS

Marina Gutierrez, from Hollingbury, chairs the steering group that is setting up the Brighton and Hove Bilingual Primary School which will teach children in English and Spanish. The 43-year-old mother of two is bilingual herself although she grew up speaking English and Italian.

She said: “I have an Italian father and an English mother. I was born in Brighton and lived in Italy for eight years from the age of one. I did A-level French. I always found languages very easy. Then I took a gap year in Mexico and I picked up Spanish.” Marina, who is married to a Mexican, has taught Spanish to adults since returning to Britain, but since 2007 she has been a registered childminder.

She said: “This (setting up the free school) has taken over at the moment so I don’t have the time to continue childminding. I’ve had two inspections – both

outstanding – and Ofsted want to feature me on their website as an example of exemplary practice around balanced bilingualism – ensuring that biculturalism is also achieved when teaching children to be bilingual. The children are only exposed to Spanish. I never spoke to them in English at all.”

When the policy of allowing parents, charities and others to set up free schools was first announced, she was excited by the possibilities. She said: “My ambition was to see free bilingual education in England. When I put an email out, everyone was very positive so I registered with the New Schools Network – a charity that helps people who are trying to start up free schools.”

A SCHOOL FOR ANYONE

After an initial meeting at Fiveways, Marina, a former Dorothy Stringer pupil, said: “We formed a steering group, worked out our aims and split the work up and looked for people with relevant expertise and experience.” So the steering group includes, for example, someone with a finance background to work through the numbers, someone with the relevant writing skills to draft proposals and tackle the inevitable form filling and someone else with educational experience in the bilingual field.

They went to the Department for Education in London to hand in their proposal last year and four months later they were given the green light.

But there is still a long way to go before the school can open on time in September. Identifying and securing a site with suitable premises is one of the two big tasks on the to do list. The other is recruiting a head teacher – a process that is well under way.

Perhaps not surprisingly with such a new concept, there have been misconceptions. Marina said: “A lot of people think it’s a school for the Spanish community. It’s not. It’s for all the children of Brighton and Hove. Every single child who wishes to attend the school has the opportunity because our catchment area is the whole of Brighton and Hove.

“Some children may come without any English or Spanish.

Some may come speaking three or four languages. It will be following the national curriculum with teachers who are fully qualified outstanding practitioners. We’re in the process of recruiting a head teacher – an innovative and outstanding leader.”

BILINGUAL AMBITION

“A lot of people She said that the aim was to have a school for 420 pupils aged four to think it’s a school 11 in two classes a year. To start with, though, the school will have two Reception year classes and two for the Spanish Year 1 classes, with 30 children in a community. It’s class, making 120 children in total.

Parents can apply for places until not. It’s for all the Monday 16 April – about three months after Brighton and Hove City children of Brighton Council’s own deadline. Application and Hove” forms can be found at www.bilingualprimaryschool.org.uk.

Marina said: “We wanted to coordinate admissions with the council but we weren’t able to do so. Our offers will be sent out on the same day as the local authority – 30 April. This year uniquely parents will receive two letters – one from us and another from the local authority. In case anything happens we’ve told all parents to apply for a place at a local authority school.”

While hundreds initially asked about places, Marina said that the final number of applicants was likely to be much lower now that the school would open for Reception and Year 1 children only. She said that the school would grow organically with a new intake of Reception pupils each September.

And the steering group and its supporters were busy raising funds for transport as they still had not sealed the deal on a site. They could be bringing children from all corners of Brighton and Hove to the location. And although they have somewhere in mind, Marina was reluctant to say where until a deal is done.

WHAT IS A FREE SCHOOL?

According to the Department for Education, free schools are non-profit making, independent, state-funded schools. In theory, almost anyone can set one up, the department said: charities, universities, businesses, educational groups, visionary teachers or committed parents. In some areas, people may be motivated by a lack of school places or because children are having to travel too far to the nearest school.

Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, believes that giving control to a highly motivated group of people will help to raise standards. He believes that the academy schools programme, which was set up by Labour and which he supports, has already led the way.

His department said: “Like academies, free schools will be funded on a comparable basis to other state-funded schools. Groups running free schools cannot make a profit. They will be subject to the same Ofsted inspections as all state schools and will be expected to maintain the same rigorous standards.

“The admissions arrangements of any free school must be fair and transparent. Free schools are expected to be open to pupils of all abilities from the area and cannot be academically selective. Free schools will need to take part in their local co-ordinated admissions process so parents apply for places for their child in the same way as any other local school.”

A second free school for the area is on the cards with church-goers planning a Christian secondary school for Hove. The proposed King’s School has yet to win approval from Mr Gove but its supporters have already had talks with the Diocese of Chichester – the regional head office of the Church of England. The aim would be offer half of the places to children who attend the many faith primary schools in Brighton and Hove.

Marina Gutierrez and Natalie Woodman-Cole

INCREASED JOB PROSPECTS

One of her colleagues, Natalie Woodman-Cole, who lives in Westdene, spoke about the enthusiasm surrounding the project and her reasons for supporting it. They include the way that it will improve job prospects in an increasingly globalised economy. She pointed to Amex bringing its European HQ in Brighton and the possibilities there.

The 38-year-old mother of five, who worked as a nurse before becoming a science teacher at Cardinal Newman Catholic School where she specialises in biology, said: “I only speak schoolgirl French although I’m really passionate about language learning. All my closest friends can speak another language and I’ve often felt at a disadvantage. I desperately want my children to have the advantage of learning another language.” Her two youngest are aged five and four. If the school opens on time, they will have the chance. n

THE DEBATE RAGES

Pic: Nicky Alldis

Education Secretary Michael Gove waded into the debate about academy schools last week with all his rhetorical guns blazing. The Conservative schools chief has taken on a policy promoted by former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair and pushed it further and faster. But the concept of academy schools is not without its opponents – and Mr Gove accused those opponents of being enemies of promise.

In Brighton and Hove the council’s cabinet member for children and young people, Sue Shanks, a Green councillor, has spoken passionately about the effects of creating academies. She said at one council meeting recently: “We are opposed to the privatisation of education which was started under the last Labour government.”

She responded to Conservative suggestions that academies were freed from the control of councils and their bureaucracy by saying: “We don’t have control of our schools as a local authority. All the bureaucracy comes from central government. One local head teacher said recently that freedom from local authority control meant freedom from local authority support. At this time we are going to stick to our principles which are against academies.” She also opposed the creation of “free schools”. At least one free school has been proposed for Brighton and Hove.

She was criticised by the council’s opposition Labour group leader Gill Mitchell. She said that the Green Party should take the money being made available by the government for academies and free schools. She accused the Greens of putting their political principles before the good of the children of Brighton and Hove.

The debate locally has become particularly heated because there is a shortage of primary school places, especially in Portslade and central Hove.

Given the renewed push by Mr Gove to turn more schools into academies, it is only a matter of time before the there is a furore locally once more. The arguments have echoes of the battles between supporters of grammar schools and comprehensives. But with primary schools also in the frame for change, this may well be a debate that rages deeper and wider.

FRANKTALKING Insight, comment and analysis from the editor of Brighton & Hove News, Frank le Duc

A pier into the future Property developer Mike Holland wants to sweep away the decay and build a modern attraction

T

he rusting hulk of the West Pier stands as a silent but highly visible reproach. The skeletal old lady was failed by Brighton Borough Council and the heritage and lottery organisations that could and should have handled matters more swiftly. And an arsonist – or arsonists – dealt what looked like the fatal blow. But still she stands – a testament to the enduring design and engineering skills of Eugenius Birch.

Property developer Mike Holland is not the first wealthy man to put up plans to save or restore the West Pier. The boxer Chris Eubank threw his hat into the ring some years back and even talked of having his home on the structure. These days only the starlings and seagulls spend much time there.

Even well-funded property companies have tested the waters and found their plans wanting.

Mike Holland has more chance than most. Even though the path is strewn with obstacles, he is clear about where he wants to be – and that’s walking on the water on a modern West Pier. He doesn’t intend trying to replicate what went before. He said: “We would keep the old entrance and build a modern pier.”

He’s taking his lead from the rebuilt Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare. It was also badly damaged by a fire. But two years later, in 2010, the pier had reopened. Mr Holland is working with the firm behind the new pavilion for the Somerset pier, Angus Meek Architects, from Bristol.

But another firm of architects has long had designs on the West Pier site.

Marks Barfield, which came up with the London Eye and saw it through despite all manner of problems, wants to put up the Brighton Eye. The proposed observation tower, also known as the i360, had originally been intended to open at the shore end this summer. David Marks, one of the founders of Marks Barfield, recently spoke locally about his determination to see this project through too. If successful, it would fund a rebuilt pier.

LATEST INBOX Enhance your career A unique free course, ‘Enhancing your Career’, is being offered to out of work white collar workers in East Sussex in a bid to help address the issue of growing unemployment.

The half day course, which runs from 10am to 2pm on Wednesday 8 February at The Friends Meeting House in Ship Street, Brighton, is being run by Fresh Forward (a training company based in the South East which specializes in career training) and takes a unique approach to training by getting attendees to produce a personal

Mr Holland is dismissive.

He said: “I don’t personally think the i360 will ever be built. You won’t get the Eye without the pier. There’s more chance of Nelson getting his eye back. There’s a slim chance it might get done if the pier comes first.”

His pragmatic approach has precedents. He has been involved with three troubled historic buildings in the area – Stanmer House, the Engineerium and the old Astoria. The first has been successfully revived from its derelict state. The Engineerium in Hove is being restored with some modifications and is due “You won’t get the Eye to open in July. The Astoria had without the pier. There’s deteriorated too much to be saved and modern offices more chance of Nelson have been approved for the central Brighton site. getting his eye back” If Mr Holland is to have his way, he will need to win round the West Pier Trust. The trust bought the pier for £1 from the old council. It came close to securing the funds for a proper restoration until the two fires nearly ten years ago. It has worked with Marks Barfield on the i360 plans. It has operated on a minimal budget and punched well above its weight.

Almost 40 years after the West Pier closed, the trust’s key players remain enthusiastic and optimistic despite so many setbacks and frustrations. Some say they need nothing short of a miracle. Mr Holland’s ideas may clash with the trust’s current plans. But I wouldn’t bet against the trust working with the man who revives historic buildings and finding a way together to walk on the water.

“In five years we have had 47,000 deaths. We’ve seen a single massacre of 72 people. Al Capone killed seven people. It’s really insane stuff and it’s very sad. I’ve interviewed a lot of mothers whose children have died. I’ve managed to interview gangsters, murderers, traffickers. It’s definitely scary.

“I’ve sat down with mass murderers. They tell you they’ve cut people’s heads off. On the surface they come across as ‘all right people’. One told me he was a fan of Wigan FC because they’ve got a Colombian player. I’ve talked to thugs in the UK and they seemed more scary.”

He is remarkably detached from the dangers considering more than 70 journalists have been killed since he moved there. He is married with a daughter and admitted concern but said that he tried to write in a way that would not annoy his subjects. “I do very personal stories but they’re more concerned about things that might disrupt their business or get them arrested,” he said.

The reality is that the fear of the West Street Firm was a passing phase in Ioan’s life. He went to school at Lewes Priory and BHASVIC and worked briefly as a porter at the Royal Sussex County Hospital. But he wanted to travel and he wanted to be a journalist. He ended up in Mexico and landed a job on a local newspaper with no real experience or qualifications.

Ten years later his experiences inspired him to write a book. El Narco: Inside Mexico’s Criminal Insurgency “One told me he was is an astonishing insight into LOCAL PROBLEM the lives of the people caught a fan of Wigan FC” In his book he writes about up in the drug trade. He said: the burgeoning local drugs “In 2001 I bought a one-way ticket to Mexico and scene: “Students or dropouts from my school started teaching English for a few months until I could be found getting high, low all over the got myself together.

The old fruit and veg market in Circus Street is to be turned into a new library for Brighton University and up to 400 student flats. Cathedral, the developer, also wants to build a dance studio, offices, shops, a market and up to 200 other flats on the land.

The site has been derelict for many years although an agreement was signed in 2007 to make use of the site. Brighton and Hove City Council’s Green cabinet is being asked to approve a modified version of the agreement, recognising the harsher financial landscape since the credit crunch.

The £80 million “Grow Brighton” scheme is expected to create 170 jobs when it is finished in 2015 with 140 construction jobs being created in the meantime.

Cathedral hopes to submit a planning application in October and, subject to approval in January next year, start work on the site in June next year.

The cabinet will discuss the stalled project on Thursday. A report says: “Approving the proposed recommendation is the only way that the regeneration benefits identified with this scheme can be unlocked.”

n ZOE BALL QUITS RADIO 2 SHOW TO SPEND TIME WITH FAMILY

BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show DJ Zoe Ball has stepped down to spend more time in Hove with her family. She has spent the past two and a half years presenting the Saturday programme from 6am to 8am.

Zoe lives on the seafront with her husband Fatboy Slim, aka Norman Cook, and their children Woody, 11, and Nelly, 2. She looks likely to stay on the books of the radio station. She is expected to stand in for Ken Bruce when the mid-morning presenter is off.

She told her listeners – nicknamed the Barking Larkers – during her final show: “You have been such splendid company and made me smile every Saturday morning.”

n BRIGHTON MAN’S SIBERIAN RACE TO RAISE MONEY FOR CHARITY

A Brighton man is preparing to take part in a race across the world’s oldest and deepest ice lake, Lake Baikal in Siberia. Ashley Baldwin, 43, said: “I’ve never attempted anything like the Black Ice Race before.”

Competitors can choose between a 14-day 379mile marathon or what the organisers described as a 155-mile sprint. The sprint is expected to take seven days. They can also choose between a variety of nonmotorised forms of transport such as bike, ski, foot, kite-ski or kite buggy. All will be expected to be selfsufficient on the ice with temperatures as low as minus 40°C and winds of up to 60mph.

The company behind the event, Extreme World Races, has previously organised TV polar challenges for the likes of Top Gear. It was also involved in the series On Thin Ice featuring James Cracknell and Ben Fogle.

The Lake Baikal race was described as “longer than England, colder than vodka and harder than granite”. The two races – the marathon and sprint – start on Thursday 15 March. Ashley said that he would be using the event to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society, Angling for Success, Cancer Research UK and Greenpeace.

n COUNCIL OUTLINES ECO-TOURISM MOVE

Pop-up campsites and a new gateway centre for the South Downs could be on the cards under plans to develop eco-tourism for Brighton and Hove.

Cabinet member in charge of tourism Geoffrey Bowden last year asked officials to draw up a plan on how environmentally-aware visitors could be targeted in a special marketing drive.

A report has been prepared for the next of Councillor Bowden’s decision-making meetings on 7 February. Among suggestions are that the council looks into opportunities for up-market camping or ‘glamping’ or even setting up temporary campsites for short periods in pleasant spots around the city.

Officials are also looking into providing an ecological interpretive centre for the city and South Downs. It is hoped the move would help boost the city’s visitor industry while cutting its carbon footprint.

latest SEAGULLS Up the Albion!

Mark Brailsford dreams of Wembley and ’83

S

o, the superstitious types start cooking-up convoluted paths for the road to Wembley, the old songs are sung once more in the pubs of Brighton, are the Seagulls on their way back to Wembley? This is a no pressure, joyous occasion for Albion's players to go out and not only enjoy themselves but avenge defeat at the Amex in the League Cup when a churlish Kenny Dalglish refused to credit how well Albion played that night.

Has there ever been a better time to face a Liverpool team who are riven by internal strife over the Luis Suarez racism issue, which rumbles on even now. Liverpool's misguided attempt to defend the indefensible looked increasingly bad when a ‘supporter’ was arrested for making monkey faces at Patrice Evra during the match with Manchester United. Then the Liverpool club website carried the image in their highlights package. Doh! Will this club never learn? Albion might fancy their chances. Remember the last time Albion beat Liverpool at Anfield? Liverpool “Not a bad result were easily the best team in England at the time, they were arguably the best in in the end and a Europe. But Albion triumphed that day good time/beer in '83 and have never been beaten at Anfield in an FA Cup match and the was had by all” current squad are a better team than the one that played in that match.

Then factor in the possession based game that Gus Poyet’s men habitually play with the fact that The Kop will soon get on the backs of the Liverpool players once Albion show their style of play. Then factor in the six and a half thousand raucous Albion fans who will doubtlessly out-sing the Kop and the scene is set for another famous, Albion Cup victory. Worth a bob or two.

A good away draw So, not quite revenge but a satisfying result from a tense and atmospheric match in deepest darkest South London. Gus was disappointed with the draw which is a fair reflection (all right, I am biased!). I’ll leave the match reporting to others as my task is to reflect on things Albion. On a general note there has been some questioning of relevance of the rivalry with Crystal Palace. But for most Albion fans who know their history, this will always be the game that matters. Not a bad result in the end and a good time/beer was had by all. One thing that was impressive about the depressing environs of Selhurst Park was the pre-match flying of their mascot. And no I don’t mean they hoik a seven-year-old boy in a Palace strip up a flag pole, I’m referring to a real eagle. It’s a magnificent creature that flies around the pitch landing on its handler’s arms after swooping around the ground, untroubled by the noise created by the crowd. Well, the Albion fans anyway. Perhaps stadium management team can be induced to train a seagull to swoop around the Amex for Palace’s next visit? Train a herring gull to load up on the takeaway leftovers from West Street of a Friday night, then let the seagull ‘recycle’ the results on the away end?

Just a thought.

HOME GAME Albion In The Community championed in Parliament Brighton and Hove Albion’s charitable arm’s award-winning work was celebrated in the House of Commons at the end of last month at a packed reception hosted by Brighton Pavilion MP Caroline Lucas.

The event brought people together to celebrate AITC’s various partnerships including representatives from health, sport, inclusion and education organisations. Over 50 AITC staff were also joined by friends of the club, American Express employees, Albion representatives Ken Brown and Martin Perry, local dignitaries and business leaders.

Lord Mawhinney from the Football League Trust and Dave Palmer, of the Professional Footballers’ Association, were also in attendance alongside local education representatives from the University of Brighton, Dorothy Stringer and Ratton School in Eastbourne.

American Express senior vice president Michael Edwards addressed the 150 plus gathering with a speech focusing on the exciting future ahead with the blossoming relationship between the football club, AITC, and Amex.

Albion Life President and AITC chairman Dick Knight presented a

history of the scheme and its importance to the people of Sussex – highlighting the innovative Want To Work initiative. Much further afield, Caroline Lucas presented an overview of the breadth of AITC’s reach and the crucial role it plays in its community.

“I am immensely honoured to host a reception for Albion in the Community at the House of Commons,” said Brighton Pavilion MP Lucas. “It’s been a fantastic event with an excellent turn-out of guests and there’s a real sense of shared excitement of what AITC can achieve. The fantastic work being done by AITC across Brighton and Hove shows that football can be a tremendous force for good.

“The opening of the Albion’s new American Express Community Stadium was a source of great excitement in the city – and it’s

Without doubt he‘s the first player the Albion have ever signed that has an actual world pedigree. He came to the club semi-crocked.

clear that a lot of effort has gone into building good relationships in the community.

“Today’s reception was an excellent opportunity for the charity to talk to MPs, business leaders and other guests about its success with initiatives such as the disability programme and adult education schemes.”

“It really was a special occasion,” said AITC’s joint managing director Steve Ford.

“It was great, particularly, for so many of our staff to celebrate and showcase our work in such a magnificent setting. To see all our

partners there too was the icing on the cake. I am immensely proud of my involvement with AITC, long may it continue.”

Bare cheek Brian Mitchell and Joseph Nixon’s thoroughly scurrilous Brighton column

Challenge Joe! For the last two weeks we've asked Latest 7 readers to write in and suggest challenges to put to crazy, madcap Bare Cheek Supremo Joseph Nixon. Here he replies to those who wrote in.

Thanks to Mrs Margaret Parsons of Hove, but I’m afraid that would be physically impossible.

Besides, I don’t even own a fire extinguisher.

A very interesting notion, and full marks for creativity, Miss Jennifer Buxton of Hangleton, but upon taking medical advice, and consultation with our insurers, I have decided against acting out your request.

Now onto the very clever and colourful proposal from Mr. Ronald Burgess of Mile Oak. Thanks for this. it may surprise you to learn that I once tried something similar with the aid of an adventurous and tolerant ex-girlfriend, but regrettably, I am disinclined to try it again. And certainly not with the clock tower.

Lastly, we come to the forceful

demand from a Mrs Gladys Atwood of Lewes. Well, Mrs Atwood, while the latter part might well be possible (I would be able, though unwilling, to leave Brighton), it would certainly be impossible to perform the former.

Thanks again all for writing in.

Please do keep your letters coming, though it would be nice if you could try to suggest a slightly wider range of challenges. Best be off, as I’m embarking on my latest hilarious jape (running round Pavilion Gardens, dressed as a Power Ranger, singing ‘Shaddap Your Face’ – it’s got number one written all over it!).

What was that?

Can’t remember the name of a film, book, or TV show? Mike is the man with the answers...

Dear Mike, I hope you can help me with this brain-twisting conundrum. Many years ago, late night on TV, I happened to catch a film. The film in question was a black and white, affair, and at first I assumed it would just be another melodrama, but its intrigue and romance quickly sucked me in, and I was soon captivated. I’ll try and describe the plot: It concerned a hard-bitten, cynical nightclub-owner in an exotic locale during World War II. This chap, who pretends to be politically neutral despite his past as a freedom fighter, is surprised by the appearance at his club by an old flame, now married to a fugitive resistance leader. Things get a bit complicated after that, but basically the hero selflessly assists the couple in escaping occupied Europe at no

small cost to himself. I was especially struck by the remarkable chemistry of the two leads, and by the film's use of romantic songs and snappy dialogue. I am not ashamed to say I shed a tear at the conclusion. I would love to see this film again but have been unable to remember its name or anything about it. Thanks in advance.

Simon Pascoe, Aldrington Dear Simon, Well, of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world you had to walk into mine! Here's looking at you, kid! I do, of course, know the identity of this very famous film and I suggest you purchase it on DVD and watch it immediately. If you do not do so you will regret it, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life.

The film in question is, of course, 1998s ‘How Stella Got Her Groove Back’. Enjoy!

Celebcity with Jo Brooks Hugh Bonneville rumoured for Brighton film, TOWIE boosts the economy and Rizzle Kicks tour ITV Pictures

RIZZLE KICKING IT Last week Emma watched our fave Brighton lads the Rizzle Kicks take to the decks all in the name of charity. Popping up to London’s trendy East End the boys spun a whole load of banging tunes for The Hoxton Pony’s Macmillan fundraiser. Celeb guests such as Pro Green, Yasmin, Jameela Jamil and Nick Grimshaw got down to the trumpets at the Georgie Okell hosted event. The boys have clearly got their fingers in many pies at the moment, recently announcing that they’d love to follow in Fatboy Slim’s shoes and sponsor Brighton and Hove Albion FC. Jordan commented; “We’d know we've really made it if that happens.” To be honest we reckon they’ve already made it, what with a nomination for a Brit award and their first headline tour in the pipeline this month.

S

o rumour has it the Hugh Bonneville, best known as Downton Abbey’s formidable Earl of Grantham, is a potential for the part of detective Roy Grace in a new film adaptation of Brighton author Peter James’ novel Dead Simple. It’s not the first time the popular books have tried to make the transition onto celluloid, with varied attempts at translating the works onto the small screen seeing execs consider Scotland and America as possible settings for the crime story. This time, however, Peter James is acting as producer and he’s adamant that as much of the film as possible will be shot in Brighton. This makes a welcome change after most of 2010’s Brighton Rock was actually shot in Eastbourne! We’re big fans of Downton in the office and I’d love to see the Earl taking a stroll around Brighton. If he comes anywhere near JBPR towers we’ll be hounding him for the details of the next series.

According to the tabloids, The Only Way Is Essex has done more for the UK economy than our dearly beloved Princess Kate. Stars such as the mega-tanned beautician Amy Childs have boosted sales in false eyelashes by 249 per cent and vajazzles by a whopping 400 per cent. This comes as no surprise to the Laine’s Health and Beauty owner Julie Coates, who was recently named as brand ambassador for vajazzle.me, and enjoys bejeweling many of her clients. “Hoards of clients want to recreate the ultra-glam TOWIE look, and it’s easily achievable,” said Julie. “aAt the salon I have invested in even deeper tanning equipment to meet demand for this craze, and I’m applying false nails, eyelashes and vajazzles all over the place!”

Fairytale wedding The perfect wedding is achievable, no matter which type of day you decide to make it

I

t’s one of the most important days in anyone’s life. A wedding day symbolises the start of a whole new adventure. A time when two sets of families are brought together in the union of two people who are in love.

It should be a day of overwhelming happiness where countless memories are made, to be kept forever.

It should also be a day that stands out as being reflective of the couple and include all the things that the bride and groom desire. We’re all individuals with different tastes and preferences and so it’s only fitting that a wedding day should reflect this. As well as being a special day, it’s also an expensive day, with the average cost of a traditional wedding coming in at twenty thousand pounds.

Working out a budget can be a valuable first step in visualising how the big day is going to be created. With all the time and money going into making it an unbelievably special day, brides and grooms to-be are bound to want perfection, and it’s easily achievable through lots of thorough preparation. So start early!

From working out a budget and putting together a guest list, to deciding on a venue and what to wear, so many decisions need to be made in the run up to a wedding. These decisions can shape the way the whole day comes together, and can ensure that the special day is unique and unforgettable.

All weddings are different and the heart of any wedding is arguably the venue in which it takes place. Brighton has numerous fantastic venues to please all tastes, whether you’re looking to have your special day in a fuss free and simple registry office, a lavish sea-front hotel or even the brand new football stadium, our guide should help to steer you in the direction of where you’d like your wedding to be.

We have a fashion special with alternative weddings in mind; after all different weddings need different outfit choices! If you’re going to be a guest at a wonderful winter wedding at the end of the year or if you’ve been lucky enough to get an invite to a beach holiday abroad, you may be wondering what on earth to wear but fear not, with our help you can find the perfect outfit.

Tradition often plays a major part in weddings, but how about breaking the mould in terms of the proposal? We’ve found a great website (www.marryabroad.co.uk), which urges girls to pop the question this Valentine’s Day and be one step closer to having the destination wedding they dream of. Why not be brave and take things into your own hands, it is a Leap Year after all!

The perfect dress Discover the perfect gown for your Big Day at White Mischief Bridal

C

hristine Marchant has been working in the wedding industry for 12 years, having represented a number of bridal designers and accessory companies in the UK and Europe.

After visiting hundreds of shops, Christine has had the ideal experience for opening a successful wedding boutique.

White Mischief in Henfield opened its doors to brides-to-be in 2005. “After time spent considering the ideal location, I felt that Henfield was ideally placed for brides throughout the South East,” explains Christine. “We now attract girls from all over the country.”

White Mischief is a large, modern, contemporary store furnished with comfortable leather settees for visitors to relax in. The store comprises of two shops – the original bridal store and, as of last year, integrating the shop next door to extend the bridesmaid and evening wear selection available.

Customer service is paramount to White Mischief along with the backing of successful design partners. The store holds the largest selection of Augusta Jones dresses in Europe. The stunning gowns collection include Jenny Packham, The Vintage Wedding Dress Company, Jesus Peiro, Caroline Castigliano and Lyn Ashworth.

“Wedding dresses are made to order, to the closest size of the bride,” says Christine. “Through our chosen designers, many can be made with design changes enabling brides to create their own individual look. Augusta Jones, in particular, specialises in this service and we are one of the few stockists that actively persuade brides to work with them. A unique wedding dress is available at the fraction of the cost of a designer gown.”

Wedding dresses start from around £1,200 with the average price being around £1,700.

Additional charges include alterations, which are undertaken by independent seamstresses.

So how do you go about finding the one perfect dress? “Bring along to your appointment family or

friends whose opinion you trust,” suggests Christine. “It’s your big day; what you feel most comfortable in, and the gown that makes you feel ‘wow’ should be the one that you buy! And don’t forget that although you will value Mum’s opinion – you probably don’t wear the same style – so don’t be put off if she’s not over the moon with your choice.

“When a bride visits White Mischief, we discuss the style of clothing they generally wear as this helps us to evaluate the styles most suitable. We suggest an appointment time of an hour. Around six to eight dresses maximum will need to be tried.

“A unique wedding dress is available at the fraction of the cost of a designer gown” “Following the Royal Wedding last year we are seeing tremendous demand for styles incorporating different necklines, sleeves and lace trimmings,” says Christine about the latest trends in bridal gowns. “Lace is continuing its revival and styles are being chosen from slinky vintage looks to full ball gowns. Vintage seems to be the buzzword with brides this season and we are exclusive stockists of The Vintage Wedding Dress Company in the South East.”

New styles in store include classically gorgeous and alluring boat necklines in lace and fine tulle, and the big theme coming for the next season is fitted lace sleeves. This is balanced with lovely open backs.

Off white or ivory are the most popular colours for brides although with the vintage theme spreading White Mischief are seeing more demand for cream, soft gold and champagne. These colours suit many skin tones whereas white can be quite harsh on some.

Once you’ve found the perfect bridal gown, you can shop at White Mischief for the bridesmaids too: “We offer a fabulous selection of bridesmaid, evening and occasion wear – with a limited amount of mother-of-the-bride outfits that can be found in this selection,” says Christine. “Night Mischief, as we fondly nick-named our new department, houses an eclectic selection of dresses from Mascara, Anoushka G, Forever Unique and more.”

Bridesmaid dresses start from £200 and are available from the JLM collections of Alvina Valenta, Occasions and Lazaro – together with the fabulous Two Birds Collection. Two Birds dresses are available in a choice of 15 colours and four lengths. If the colour you want is not available, Two Birds will customise it for you.

Both online and in store at White Mischief you will find the fabulous ‘Goodbye Collection’ offering samples to brides on a budget at a snip of the original price. Some dresses in store have reductions of up to 70 per cent!

White Mischief offers an abundance of wedding accessories: jewellery, shoes, veils, head-dresses and lingerie, including pieces from Rachel Simpson shoes, Halo, Rhapsody and Nieve Couture.

Brides who purchase a full price gown are automatically given ‘More Mischief’, the White Mischief loyalty pack which includes substantial discounts on bridesmaid dresses, veils, jewellery and more – saving you hundreds of pounds on your overall wedding outfit purchases.

For even more incentive to choose White Mischief, they are offering brides the chance to win a full refund for their wedding gown! “Brides who purchase their wedding gown through White Mischief in 2012 are welcome to enter our Bride of the Year competition,” Christine explains. “To enter simply complete the entry form available in store or online and submit a short story about your wedding experience and what made it so special.

The winner will be announced in December 2012 and the prize will be a full refund of the amount paid for your wedding gown!”

Open Monday–Saturday, 10am–5pm.

Free unlimited parking.

Brides looking for a truly memorable wedding gown should head into Brighton’s quaint North Laine where they will find The O Zone, a quirky little boutique housing beautiful wedding dresses in a spectacular array of styles and sizes. The big focus this year is on vintage-inspired glamour, from Edwardian grandeur to flirty ‘50s tea dresses, handmade right here in good old Blighty.

Saturday 18 February sees The O Zone hosting the new 2012 collection, All That Jazz, from British designer Chanticleer. All Chanticleer dresses are made by chief designer Tracey Salt and her team in her Cheltenham workroom, and Tracey will be in-store on the day, helping brides find their perfect dress. By appointment only – book now on 01273 739500.

The O Zone’s dedicated team are always on the lookout for something new and a little different. A growing interest in less structured, fluid styles from the 1920s and ‘30s has led them to a tiny bridal label called Belle and Bunty – another UK-based company offering exquisitely cut gowns in the finest silks.

The rest of the bridal party are also well catered for at The O Zone, with over 100 dresses to choose from, suitable for bridesmaids, flowergirls and mother of the bride/groom. The groom has a choice of high quality menswear to hire or buy, with a wool/silk three-piece morning suit new for 2012.

Kasia Make-up Bridal tips with KasiaMakeup.com 1. Perfect photo-ready skin: Primers help powders and cream eyeshadows to last. Hydrating long-lasting foundation and concealer are vital. Smudge and waterproof mascara is your best friend on the wedding day preventing streak-free eyes.

2. The Glow Factor: Choose natural shades, satiny shadows and sheer lips for a radiant glow and elegance. Luminous and feminine tones, ivory pearly shades and delicate blushes enhance natural beauty.

3. Classic chic: Your wedding day is not the time to experiment with new, extreme looks.

Be classic but stylish. Bright lips? Smokey eyes? Highlight one facial feature.

Choose a hairstyle to compliment the look & feel of your wedding day

W

edding hair can transform a bride, helping to compliment the style of the dress and the overall look on the day.

It’s important that you look and feel amazing, so having a full hair rehearsal with all the Wraysford accessories you need is highly recommended. Stephen (Eddie Redmayne), The variety of wedding hairstyles are Isabelle Azaire (Clémence Poésy) in Birdsong © BBC/Working Title endless, whether it be a sophisticated updo; a hairstyle to incorporate a veil or tiara; curls or even plaits. Different styles suit every type of bride, so no matter what type of wedding you have, there is a hairstyle perfectly suited to your day.

Beach hair For a beach wedding, relaxed, tousled waves work best. The sea breeze will only add to the beautifully tousled effect of loose waves and will create a look of relaxed glamour, perfectly suited to the surroundings. This style doesn’t have to be confined to beach weddings though; it’s a great look for any outdoor wedding. An extra advantage to this style is how easy it is to achieve, either using curling tongs, heat stylers or rollers to create the curls, before gently brushing out and adding a minimal amount of product to hold the style. The result is effortless and natural.

Traditional updo Sophisticated and elegant updos are perfectly suited to traditional weddings.

Older brides can benefit from this timeless and classic style. Younger brides can also pull off the look – think Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1.

Slightly messier styles with added texture from plaits give a more youthful appearance but still stay in the realm of traditional.

Clémence Poésy’s character Isabelle Azaire in recent BBC mini-series Birdsong also showcases a beautiful take on the same idea. A style such as this would be more than perfect for a Royal Pavilion wedding!

Valentine’s Day & the new food of love?

I

magine a different kind of Valentine’s Day. Smell delicate aroma oils with gentle, whispering music in the background. In the soft candlelight, picture your Valentine alongside you in the Spa Room. Feel the lulling, magical fingers of your therapist soothing your sleepy body.

Sound good? We’ve been putting our heads together this month to create a divine experience for Valentine’s Day this year. So if you want a really special gift to light up this wintry season, forget the usual chocs and flowers, the Spa’s the place. A Heart Chakrosanct double treatment with two therapists in the same room is the ultimate ‘I love you’. Besides, you get to enjoy it as well as your partner.

To play Cupid, we’ve put Anahata, our Heart Chakrosanct treatment for two on special offer (£100 instead of £130) for all February. Plus our organic Heart Chakrosanct oil is £15 instead of £20 for a take-home memory of the occasion.

On Valentine’s Day itself (Tuesday 14th), all Uniquely Organic EcoSpa clients will be served pink bubbly and heart-shaped goodies in our Relaxation Room afterwards. Early booking advised.

Loving yourself, loving others Psychologists who say that loving ourselves is as important to wellbeing as loving someone else rings true with me, so you definitely do not have to miss out on a treat just because a Valentine is not in your orbit this year. Our Valentine’s offers are for everyone whether single, in the first flush of love, or in a settled relationship.

And men, if you really are against self-indulgence, trust me, she won’t be. Our gift vouchers are extremely popular and our staff can help you make the perfect choice.

Wedding outfits: Debenhams

Sophisticated down-do Wearing your hair down can also exude sophistication while having a more relaxed feel. Large, loose curls are a perfect choice for brides with longer hair while tighter curls connote old-style Hollywood glamour. Curls can transform the hair depending on size and styling, so be sure to experiment with hair rehearsals to see which style is best for you and your hair type.

Whatever style you choose, make sure you’re comfortable. While it’s nice to look different to your ‘every day’ self on your Big Bridal gown: Debenhams Day, don’t opt for a dramatic cut or colour change if that’s not what you are used to.

Experienced, reliable and trustworthy hair stylists are a must for your wedding day. Make sure you book the appointments early to avoid disappointment and give yourself plenty of time to explore the different options and styles available to you. You might surprise yourself as to what style suits you and your dress best!

WEDDINGS

Wedding Special

Latest Musicbar “Dear Latest Musicbar, We just wanted to thank you all for all that you did to make our wedding reception and party such a success. We had a superb time and we believe our guests did too!

Many people commented on how great the venue was, how delicious the food was, and how delightful your staff were. We heartily agree and thank you all so much! All of the team were very friendly, helpful and so positive during the planning, and James the bar manager and his team were fantastic on the day. The place looked lovely (including the flowers in the ladies’ loo!) and I was so impressed that James hardly batted an eyelid when I asked about the pizza for the two 11 year olds and went and sorted it out there and then!

Having such friendly staff who also know what they are doing and have a can-do attitude made such a difference to ours and our guests’ experience of our very special day, so again a big, big thank you!

Kindest regards, Sarah-Jane and Mike” “Dear Latest Musicbar, We just wanted to say thanks to you and your brilliant staff for all your help in making our wedding reception a wonderful and unforgettable night.

L7 INTERVIEW 35 you know. He still goes on about ethnicity – well I do! But not as much. I think that someone on Twitter said to me; ‘Oh, I don’t like Omid Djalili ‘cos he keeps going on about Iran,’ so I wrote back, ‘I swear on the life of Ahmed, I don’t do that anymore!’ [laughs] And then, I think that it’s important for people to know that I can’t let go of everything. It’s like telling a climber, well, you’re gonna climb that mountain and not use your usual equipment. We want to see you climb up that mountain with your tongue! It’s like saying that, you know? So it doesn’t make sense. You have to do little bits of what got you there in the first place. But while you’re doing that you need to evolve and transform as well. I wasn’t even supposed to dance on this show! But by popular demand and death threats, I’ve had to put in some kind of dance routine at the end. I just thought I’d be funny. I spin on my belly now, I tried to break dance and they laughed. That’s kind of what I can do, that break-dancers can’t do, is spin on my belly. It’s a new fat man trick that no-one can do, and it brings the house down.” [laughs]

ROOTS MANOEUVRE

Movie star, insurance salesman and comedian, Omid Djalili returns with a new tour. He talks to Victoria Nangle about dancing, Twitter, and the serious business of comedy

So, what brings you back to stand up after three and a half years away?

“Very good question, it was the love of it, surely.

And the opportunity to evolve as a human being. I believe – no seriously – I really believe if you take it [comedy] seriously in a holistic way, so you work on yourself while you’re doing it, you work on your material, you work on your messages and you work on the structure of the piece, then it’s the one art form where you can transform actually as a human being, and I felt I needed to do that. I’m doing it in the most holistic way, I’m even doing therapy so I can develop within myself while I’m doing it. I’ve not even revealed this in any other publication.

Maybe it’s because it’s for Brighton. The people understand therapy.” [laughs] That’s very disciplined of you....

“People are very evolved in Brighton, I think they would understand that. I want my audiences to know I’m trying to evolve with them, by taking a more holistic view. People don’t rate stand up as an art form and I think it’s the most – one of the most difficult things to do. But I’m trying to do it well.”

When comics get to the point where they’re as respected as you are, sometimes they are less disciplined...

“Yes, yes, very good point, that’s so true. ‘Cos you think that the older you get, the more it’s likely you

can knock something out but actually if you see you've evolved, as I’ve evolved as a person, and you realise how difficult it is and actually take it to another level it becomes even more hard work. So I think it’s a question of trying to stretch myself really. You always want to do something better than what you did before.”

“That’s kind of what I can

do, that break-dancers can’t do, is spin on my belly” When I’ve seen you before you’ve played on people’s preconceptions but you’ve got such a profile these days that the preconceptions aren’t there so much...

“No they’re not, yeah. It used to just be a bloke come off the boat from the Middle East [laughs] and he’s kind of really funny – what is this? And I think that he said surprising things about our culture. And so I think that I can’t do that anymore.

There’s a little nod to it at the beginning of the show, a nod to what got me there in the first place,

You’ve straddled several cultures at once and the only other comic that’s got Iran and Britain clearly is Shappi Khorsandi. Why do you think there don’t seem to be many Persian comics?

[Pauses] “It takes time... I was one of the first to do it back in what, ’93, ’94 when I started. You see, I was born and raised in London. I’m 46 now, but my family is the longest standing Iranian family in Britain. So, I think that even Shappi Khorsandi’s family came over in the late ’70s, or even early ’80s, I’m not sure. My family has been in Britain since the ’50s, so I suppose it would have to be someone like me, to come from the type of family that I come from, to be the first.

But I know in America there is a range of Iranian comedians doing well, Maz Jobrany is very well respected and has a high profile in America now but it takes a long time to actually get... good, you know?”

You’ve got quite a presence on American TV. How do they perceive your comedy and roots?

“Well basically I got a deal with NBC back in 2003 and they said we’ve been looking for someone like you, who doesn’t shy away from his Middle Eastern roots. I think they were talking about a number of comedians in America who are very well known, but who’ve changed their names and they don’t talk about their roots. I mean, John Belushi for example was Albanian but you never would have known that because he’s American and that wasn’t a big deal for him. His Albanian roots were just not a big deal. I think they were looking for someone who understood how the West works but wasn’t shying away from talking about Middle Eastern issues, and so that’s probably why I fit the bill. I think they said that they’ve been looking for someone like that for 20 years.”

You’ve played Fagin on the West End stage, a slave trader in Gladiator, a born again Jew in The Infidel. Which role would you really like to play in the future?

“Well, that’s a good question because I’d never thought about playing Fagin before so that was very leftfield, that really took me by surprise.

What I would love to do is play Al Pacino’s son.

Al Pacino’s rotund son. Who he’s really embarrassed of, in some film where you know he’s got some kind of... I know he wants to do some kind of comedy. Al Pacino was a stand-up comedian and a comedy sketch person before he became a serious actor and I’m hoping that like Robert De Niro, he’ll come back to his comedy roots as he gets older and I want to play his mid 40s, kind of, lost illegitimate son.” [laughs] Omid Djalili – Tour Of Duty Show, Theatre Royal Brighton, Wednesday 15 February 2012, 8pm, £20, www.atgtickets.com

FOLK DANCE HOFESH SHECHTER – POLITICAL MOTHER Concert Hall, Brighton Dome, 31 January JJJJJ

H

aving seen the startling premiere of Shechter’s astonishing work that garnered so much praise I was excited to see how it would be almost two years on. After all, so many artists will develop, tweak and tinker with a piece over the years. But not Shechter, or at least, if he has, it is imperceptible. Not that I should have been surprised by this.

There was a sense of completeness, of confidence and strength in it first time round that should have told me that this was a work in which he had few doubts. Shechter is an artist who sees the whole as being his responsibility, the movement, the music, the setting and the light are all touched by his artistic vision and, as a result, there is a cohesion to the work that few others achieve. Of course, this is only true because he has talent in all these areas. A lesser talent could only be branded a control freak. The content too has real depth, challenging intellectually as well as aurally and visually. He is the master of shape shifting, he uses intense dark moments to alter the image before us, but at lightning speed, almost filmic cross-fades that confound the eyes when seen live. There are moments of terror too, of hurt and pain, but also humour. Few creators of dance achieve these shifts in mood and employ pathos and bathos to such great effect. Political Mother is a masterpiece, Shechter is a brilliant artist on so many levels and in so many disciplines but I suspect we will never see the like of Political Mother again. I am sure that creatively he will move on and on, always challenging himself and his audiences alike.

VIVE LA FRANCE – TRANSFORMER DJS, SING SING MY DARLING, JUSTINE TATON, PHOEBE KILLDEER AND THE SHORT STRAWS

It was another fantastic night as some of France’s most exciting exports descended upon Brighton’s shores. Newcomers Sing Sing My Darling delivered a sanguine set of very promising sparkly indie-pop with ‘Disco Love’ and ‘Let Me See Your Cherries’ getting a great response. Justine Taton played a decent collection of soulful numbers whilst Brighton-based French act Transformer kept things ticking over with their genre-defying DJ skills. But it was the captivating Phoebe Killdeer and The Short Straws who really stole

the show. Killdeer’s sultry bluesy vocals and an all round stunning performance made this the stand-out performance of the festival.

HUMBLE QUEST FOR UNIVERSAL GENIUS

What a delightful evening! Mark Allen hosted his competition searching for a peer for Michelangelo, ably assisted by the chiefly mute but visually impactful Eli Silverman.

Launching the evening in its new home of the Komedia studio bar, the event saw a home special of Hove Vs Brighton in the guises of the most excellent Simon Evans Vs Zoe Lyons, each hailing from the previously mentioned city regions. With rounds such as ‘hunting’, ‘wit’, ‘poetry’ and ‘etiquette’, the fun was fast-paced and never stopped, squeezing everything it could comedically from the smuttily posh Evans and the dappily inspired Lyons. A marvellous framework for a fabulous laughterand intelligence-filled evening.

ROOTS MANUVA

This gig never really hit the heights that it seemed capable of. The show felt disjointed, with a clear difference in quality between newer tracks and the older classics. There were similar mismatches within the backing band, with faultless drums, scratching and keyboards let down by substandard backing vocals and the utterly pointless presence of a heavy-rock guitarist. The sense of disappointment even spread to the enigmatic frontman, who seemed stifled and awkward until finally throwing off his suit jacket and giving the type of performance everybody anticipated. When things went well, this gig soared – the fuzzy, gut-shattering basslines and piercing lyrical ramblings we’ve grown to expect from Manuva really hit the spot and got the whole crowd bouncing, but these moments were unfortunately all too fleeting.

T

he Sussex Symphony Orchestra with Mark Andrew James at the baton will soon perform The Hebrides Overture (Fingal’s Cave) by Mendelssohn, The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra by Benjamin Britten and Symphony No 3 by Brahms.

The concert starts with Mendelssohn’s account of a visit to the island of Staffa, with its magnificent granite structures and crashing, dramatic seas, an encounter which so excited him that he immediately jotted down the opening theme, though the overture was not to be completed until three years later.

Britten’s Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra was originally composed for a 1945 documentary about the instruments of the

orchestra. Made up of a theme from Purcell’s Abdelazar and variations, the work is a tour de force and shows off every section wonderfully.

At the concert it will be performed without a narrator.

A slow starter, he did not write his first symphony until his 43rd year, Johannes Brahms is now considered one of the greatest symphonists of all time. His third symphony is a cornerstone of the classical repertoire and is as enjoyable to perform as it is to listen to.

arlier this year Michael Kiwanuka was announced as number one in the prestigious BBC Sound Poll of 2012. The previous winners since its inception in 2003 have been 50 Cent, Keane, The Bravery, Corrine Bailey Rae, Mika, Adele, Little Boots, Ellie Goulding and Jessie J. So, as a guide for future success, the poll has been a particularly good barometer.

But will the man dubbed ‘A Bill Withers for 2012’ come through?

In this fickle and fragmented musical environment, nothing is certain. But what is certain is that Kiwanuka has been winning plaudits and praise from critics and fans alike, for his mesmerising, gentle and soulful vocals and mellow demeanor – he’s a young man who seems at ease in the fast developing career that he is carving out.

Born and bred in London but of Uganda parentage, (“I still have lots of aunties and cousins there”) Kiwanaku has quickly migrated from being an accomplished session guitarist to a supporting act on tours with both Adele and Laura Marling last year, and of course number one in the BBC Sound Poll.

“I was playing a lot of music (as a session player) which was good but it wasn't representing who I was,” says Michael. “So, I started writing songs in my spare time and doing open mics, and I started putting more emphasis on singer songwriting and things rolled from there...”

Citing influences as diverse as Nirvana, Miles Davis and Stevie Wonder, Kiwanuka’s sound is very retro in feel and in style. “Folk, rock ’n’ roll and jazz are my big influences,” he says. “I like Hendrix too – he had a softer side to him (songs such as ‘Little Wing’ and ‘Angel’) which I was really into.”

Often compared to Bill Withers and Terry Callier, Kiwanuka has developed a unique, if obviously retro sound, thanks largely to the production work of Paul Butler, a member of The Bees, and whose studio is used by that band in capturing their heavily reverb, analogue-drenched sound. This can be heard on his first two EPs, The Isle of Wight Sessions (Tell A Tale. Now) and I’m Getting Ready, with a debut album, Home Again, being released in March, Kiwanuka is concentrating on playing live this year. “It’s all about being on the road in 2012. I love being a musician and playing, and I've really only just put together a band, so I’m progressing and developing that.”

He seems to have hit upon a soul-folk hybrid, although he readily admits that his songs aren’t topical. “I couldn't sit down and write about the riots of last summer or topical things, but I can write about what I'm going through – my songs are autobiographical. It’s not nice to feel that naked sometimes, but I think music needs to be like that.”

COMEDY: RICHARD HERRING – WHAT IS LOVE ANYWAY? The award-winning podcaster, sitcom writer, author and all round creative adverturer comic comes to town

R

ichard Herring has just recorded another podcast – this one about playing snooker against himself.

It’s only the fourth in a new experimental idea he’s playing around with, but as someone constantly riding high in the iTunes podcast charts with his self-penned award-winning As It Occurs To Me (AIOTM) show, as well as the Collings And Herrin BBC podcast, Richard Herring Warming Up podcast and the popular daily show online that ran alongside his main show at the Edinburgh Festival in 2011 every day, he’s allowed to play around with the format he’s pretty much conquering.

One of the running jokes in AIOTM is that Richard really wants to be on television, but with this explosion of podcasts, can he really still be that interested? “Well, it’s more the persona on the AIOTM podcast that wants the television fame,” he concedes. “It actually came from when I first started with Stew (Stewart Lee) and I was young and thought that fame and a television show was what I really wanted. We had four series in the 1990s and I think I was just cross that the BBC didn’t see them as the masterpieces I thought they were.” Herring and Stewart Lee released the first series of the Fist Of Fun shows themselves due to fan demand at the end of 2011, and have already made their money back with its success.

So is fame still important? Richard admits not. “With over 20 years in the business and performing at pretty much every Edinburgh Festival since I started I’ve got an audience from my podcasts, from shows, plays, from Time Gentlemen Please (Al Murray’s sitcom Herring co-wrote with Murray) and from my partnerships with Stew and with Andrew (Collins) – they’re from all over and pretty much fill a middling sized room that let me play about with ideas.” So, he’s got a Goldilocks audience and his new show is about how happy he is with his girlfriend after many years of playing the field. Life must be pretty sweet for Richard Herring. And he’s funny. The b*****d.

FILM: THE MUPPETS (U) Director: James Bobin

A

labour of love with fan pressure from the first and rumours pushing that it must be absolutely splendid, Frank Oz’s lack of involvement giving its own message, and a passion from Jason Segel who both wrote and stars in it – this is a Muppet movie with not a small portion of hype. Add to that a score from one half of comedy musical duo Flight Of The Conchords in the form of Bret McKenzie already collecting awards and this is as intriguing a family musical film as you’re likely to find this year.

The plot is simple; when three Muppet fans hear that morally compromised (read villain) Tex Richman, played by Chris Cooper, is set to drill under the Muppet theatre for oil they set out to find the Muppets that have been scattered to the winds for years with a plan to re-unite them and save the theatre. Kermit lives alone in a Hollywood mansion, Gonzo is a high class plumber, Fozzie is touring in a tribute act called The Moopets, and we’re not going to even hint at where Miss Piggy finds herself.

Jason Segel is joined on screen by Amy Adams, showing her charming musical performance in Enchanted was no casual fluke. Spot the guest cameos too.

STARS With Val Aviv

HARIES {Mar 21–Apr 20}

The Full Moon gets you in the right mood to be at the centre of the action especially as you’re in touch with your more playful spirit. Venus brings you added charm power and socially you can make your point without stepping on toes.

HTAURUS {Apr 21–May 21}

Being at home or with loved ones around the Full Moon can be a rather joyous affair. Where there is love, soak it up. While it may conflict with duties and deadlines on the work front, it’s never a bad time to do what makes you happy.

HGEMINI {May 22–June 21}

There’s a lot riding on your ability to connect the big ideas and dreams with the smaller mundane details. Around the Full Moon insights could be your middle name as an attractive new friend could inspire in you a sudden turnaround.

HCANCER {June 22–July 22}

Your incredible energy is making you the apple of everyone’s eye; in fact your unique charms could tempt you to be reckless and juggle fire – but that is ill advised. Finances look reassuringly impressive or fatally dramatic around the Full Moon.

HLEO {July 23–Aug 22}

Love is a delicate balance of good communication and fiery throws of passions. So too must emotional empathy exist and be both willing and generous. The Full Moon gives you a chance to express and really understand the depth of your feelings.

HVIRGO {Aug 23–Sep 22}

While you may seek some solitude over the Full Moon for contemplation, relaxation and reflection; it won’t be long after that you may feel compelled to create something of lasting significance. Often it’s what we love that improves us.

HLIBRA {Sep 23–Oct 22}

Smooth talking Libra’s surely are the eighth wonder of the world! Now more than ever you may realise just how easy it can be to charm and be charmed. A whirlwind romance can take you by surprise when desire runs deep. You are electric!

HSCORPIO {Oct 23–Nov 21}

Being one of the most private signs of the Zodiac does mean that while you may be able to mask your negative feelings, inevitably positive feeling can be seemingly absent. Let your loved ones see how proud you are of them.

HSAGITTARIUS {Nov 22–Dec 20}

This could become a week to remember. Being that you are often quickly weary of situations where growth seems stifled, you can expect something very exciting and unexpected from love which helps inspire both your creativity and zest for life.

HCAPRICORN {Dec 21–Jan 19}

You can get a lot more enjoyment from your home this week, a spring clean could be the best medicine to blow away the cobwebs both actual and imagined. Don’t feel too guilty escaping mounting pressures, recharge before you charge.

HAQUARIUS {Jan 20–Feb 19}

Get to grips with the fact that you crave the unusual, the unobtainable and the bizarre. For something of this nature will be hard to shift from the forefront of your mind. Venus makes unexpected journeys blessed with good fortune.

HPISCES {Feb 20–Mar 20}

Unexpected good fortune or a deeper understanding of fortune can give you more freedom to live true to your highest idealistic values. Your consciousness is now on a very deep journey into the self; it’s not about the destination.

Already with the ‘Steven-Mackintosh-isin-it-so-it-must-be-good’ seal of approval, this drama about three employees of a security depot planning their own heist carries on with the nitty gritty as Marcus finds a man to provide them with guns. All he needs now is cash to buy the guns. Chicken... egg...

MotherTruckers Channel 4, 10pm We live in interesting times.

When traditional gender roles are blurring all the more as the number of dads as primary carers rises and what was once seen as a profession entirely the domain of men – truck driving – now has a small but growing community of women. This documentary follows several of them.

The Woman In Black Premiere Special ITV2, 6.30pm One of this week’s biggest cinematic releases, otherwise known as ‘What Harry Potter Did Next’.
