Legally Blonde Fest, Evolution Arts taster day, The Big Cheer, Love Is All We Need, & Roger Daltrey

The boys and girls from MGA Academy of Performing Arts based in Brighton, performed Bend & Snap from the hit musical. Together with BHAFC’s Gully's Girls and loads of prizes to be won in a lucky dip, including tickets to the musical and to pose as Elle and Bruiser in the fabulous photo board, there was the “best dressed pooch” competition which was won by Lady Pip & Arty, with owner, Darren Ferris, and tickets to the show were presented by Lisa Goddard, who was performing in Star Quality at the Theatre Royal Brighton.

7 days of headlines with phil mills Leadership change at the council, London Road to be cleaned up and prison rioters sentenced

F

rom princesses to prison riots, it’s been a right royal time for news. Princess Anne graced Brighton and Hove with a visit to the city’s Citizens Advice Bureau to boost their fundraising campaign, and to the Sussex Eye Hospital to mark their 180th anniversary.

Cash-strapped Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals, meanwhile, are looking for ways to tackle economic waste and one way is to prevent patients who should be seeing their GP from attending A&E. Reducing unnecessary admissions could save them a whopping £27 million. They could save more by fighting ridiculous law suits – a report revealed how the trust awarded £10,000 to an employee who twisted their ankle on a step, and a similar award went to a worker who suffered a cut finger.

Another expensive waste was the torching last year of Ford Open Prison which cost £5 million. After an eight-week trial at Hove Crown Court, five men were convicted of arson, violent disorder and prison mutiny. Police praised prison staff and prison inmates for helping bring culprits to justice.

Brighton & Hove City Council leader Bill Randall on a tale of two cities

B

righton & Hove is diverse in a number of ways, most of them positive. However, the level of inequality in the city is enormous. For example, recent research showed that life expectancy of residents varies widely just along the Number 1 bus route; it is 75 years on the seafront, compared to 81 years in Mile Oak. In other suburban areas it’s as high as 84 years, creating a gulf of almost a decade between the best and least well-off.

Staying with crime, 59-yearold Paul Ashton of no fixed abode, was jailed for 30 months for possessing 5,000 indecent images of children. He fled from Sussex Police eight years ago but was arrested in South Wales after his ‘most wanted’ photo was recognised by a resident.

We bid a foind farewell to Brighton & Hove City Council leader, Bill Randall, who will step down in May and welcome his successor, Jason Kitcat who, according to some in his own party, will find winning back Green votes lost over a variety of issues his toughest task.

It looks like the final whistle has been blown on a chef who served burgers to football fans from a van at the bottom of gardens near Albion’s Amex stadium. An enforcement notice ordering him to stop has been served after residents complained of cooking smells and litter. Speaking of the Albion, hats off to the club's backroom staff, stewards and shuttle bus drivers for the way they look after the disabled.

Knee surgery has meant I’ve been joining them recently and well looked after we are too. Take a bow, guys.

The London Road area of Brighton has often looked a mess and now the council has taken action to clean up one part of it. They are ordering owners of 17 York Place to repair crumbling window frames and peeling paintwork. Other property owners nearby have been warned to smarten up their buildings.

This extends to housing too, where residents have seen energy prices rocket. As a result, one in ten households are considered to be in fuel poverty, where they spend a significant amount of their income on keeping the heating on. This disparity is unacceptable.

We are doing all we can to fight the entrenched in equality within the city, and it’s one of the priorities of this administration. It’s by no means easy, but there are ways to help.

For example, we are proposing to create a ‘Community Banking Partnership’, combining the work of the council with that of other organisations in the city that

What shall we do with rubbish and food waste in Brighton and Hove?

Residents have until 30 March to voice their views. Go to http://consult.brightonhove.gov.uk/portal. For dog owners and those looking to adopt four-legged friends, the council and the RSPCA are offering advice, microchipping and goodies at pet care days, aimed at cutting the number of strays in the city, at the Crew Club in Coolham Drive on 21 March, from 2pm-5pm, and 22 March, from 2pm to 6pm.

There was good news for the majority of 2,300 children – more than 97 per cent have been offered one of their three preferred schools in the latest round of secondary school admissions.

Young environmentalists from one city school – St Joseph’s – created eco characters and produced a film to spread the word about recycling after joining the national Wastebuster education programme and winning an animation workshop.

Finally, there were smiling faces among South Downs fans when the Government announced a £600,000 grant to create wildlife habitats in the National Park – and there were more smiles just down the road on Brighton beach when welcome rain clouds parted to bring some winter sunshine.

With the daffs already blooming in the city, spring is definitely on its way!

What should be done with rubbish in Brighton & Hove?

comment@thelatest.co.uk support people facing financial hardship, such as the East Sussex Credit Union, Brighton Housing Trust and the Citizens Advice Bureau. The partnership would pool resources to provide independent advice, banking services, credit lending, savings options and education to improve financial literacy. These services could be made available right in the heart of local communities. We are looking at working with the Bridge Community Centre and the Whitehawk Inn to reach residents in those areas, for example.

There are many obstacles facing our work, including factors from outside the city. However I’m pleased we are able to do our bit in supporting people and narrowing the gap during this difficult time.

Final stop for park and ride

In short, it was concerned that a park and ride site might keep some visitors from driving into the city centre only for local people to make use of the spaces.

The Greens want those of us living in the city to make fewer short journeys and to walk, cycle or use public transport more. Putting up the price of parking is one policy being used to achieve these strategic goals.

Do we need a park and ride? The Greens say no. Labour and the Tories are in favour – in principle. In office, neither party managed to drive through a scheme. Do we want a park and ride? The appetite may have grown although For years it was touted as the answer to our not to a clamour. Acceptance of the idea has been helped by the match-day traffic problems but now it’s fallen from favour experience of thousands of football fans. Some have even suggested that Mill Road – much less busy since the Brighton Bypass opened in the 1990s – could become a permanent park and ride site rather than just on match days. The ark and ride has had a chequered history in Brighton and Hove. While it’s parking spaces being proposed on the site of the old Falmer High School have proved its worth in several towns and cities, we’ve never quite made it the makings of a second strategic site. work.

n ACADEMICS GET ON THEIR BIKES

TO TEST BATTERY-ASSISTED IDEAS

Brighton University experts plan to test “smart e-bikes” on the streets of Brighton and Hove over the coming year. The trials are part of research into sustainable transport and mobile media. The project aims to understand how people use e-bikes, and how smart phones can monitor this use and give useful feedback to riders. The results will be used to help improve sustainable transport throughout the country.

The e-bikes used in the study – also known as pedelecs – are electrically assisted bicycles that enable people to cycle for work or pleasure with motorised support. The rider still has to pedal but the rechargeable battery-assistance can make it easier to cycle, especially uphill or against the wind.

The project came out of an idea generation event with more than 20 experts, focused on encouraging more sustainable travel behaviour, habits and practices.

It is being funded by a three-year grant from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.

During the project, different groups of users will be offered a chance to try out the e-bikes for sixweek periods. The project team is hoping to involve both commuters and people of retirement age from local community groups. The researchers plan to use digital technology such as GPS tracking and smart phones to monitor bike use.

n BRIGHTON DOME OPEN DAY Brighton Dome held an open day on Saturday 3 March 2012 to celebrate the tenth anniversary of its multi-million pound refurbishment.

As well as performances from live bands and dressing-up fun with Photobot, the cast, creative team and musicians who took part in Brighton Muses – the inaugural performance in the new venue – were invited to drop in, catch up with old friends and reminisce about the production.

Andrew Comben, Chief Executive of Brighton Dome and Festival Limited delivered a short speech in honour of long serving members of staff, who were then recognised and presented with a certificate of long service.

Brighton Swimming Club has been awarded a £50,000 “Inspired Facilities” grant by Sport England.

The money will fund a move from the club’s present seafront home just west of the Palace Pier.

Work on new premises on the east side of the pier is expected to last 12 weeks with members hoping to move in at the end of June. Unlike the old premises, the new seafront site will be suitable for juniors, giving them the chance to swim in the sea with the club.

The club’s chairman John Ottaway said: “We are delighted to secure one of the first Inspired Facilities grants which will enable us to upgrade our new premises and offer a facility that will match the ambitions of our members.

“The new facilities will also allow our junior members to take part in open water training as well as being given instruction on safety for swimming in the sea. It is the cornerstone of our strategy to have an outstanding club for the 2012 Olympics legacy.”

Brighton Kemptown MP Simon Kirby said: “I am delighted that Brighton Swimming Club will benefit from this Olympic legacy funding which will help local swimmers enjoy these facilities long after the Games themselves.”

from Richard Attenborough and Laurence Olivier to Cate Blanchett and Dakota Blue Richards. And more than 60 feature films have been made here in whole or in part in the past 80 years.

Asked to name his own favourites, he reeled off Brighton Rock, The End Of The Affair and Carry On At Your Convenience. But he also played a little-seen black and white clip to an audience of politicians and officials at Hove Town Hall. It showed Magnus Volk’s shortlived “Daddy Longlegs” railway serenely gliding above the sea. His audience watched with an appreciative awe.

Even this rare clip came with a story of its own. Dr Gray said: “Most of the films made between 1895 and 1910 have been lost. Only two per cent survive. I’m often asked what missing film would I most like to see? I always gave the same answer – a film of Volk’s sea-going electric car from 1895. It turned up in Barcelona three years ago.”

icture the scene. A low-lit interior. A gently spoken film buff pitches his script. Frank Gray tells his hard-bitten audience: “Brighton and Hove has an unrivalled place in the history of film, an enviable presence in the present and a big part to play in its future.” They may not have been his exact words but that was the gist of his plot. Dr Gray is telling a story about our creative and digital city harnessing its rich heritage and building on its current credentials to boost jobs, tourism and businesses here.

His plot involves setting up a film office, attracting more filmmakers and burnishing our image to attract more visitors. One way to achieve this would be to become an official “film city”. He has been telling politicians, officials and others how this could be achieved. His goals are about much more than the films that we watch at the cinema. They include everything from educating people about our place in the history of moving pictures to the sharing of slices of life captured on Super 8, video and smart phone.

He accepts that the big screen will be the main attraction for many. And Brighton isn’t short of stardust. Names associated with the city range Photo courtesy of CineCity

“Most of the films made between 1895 and 1910 have been lost. Only two per cent survive” Dr Gray has been associated with Brighton University for more than 25 years, first as a lecturer in art and film history and now as the director of Screen Archive South East. He is also a co-director of the CineCity film festival. He The Artist said: “Brighton and Hove should become a ‘film city’. The city has a powerful cluster of filmrelated organisations, practices and activities that gives it a very distinctive creative character. But to date they have not been brought together into an effective and dynamic whole.”

He said that a cohesive film cluster would generate benefits to the creative and cultural economy of Brighton and Hove, adding: “Film is much more than exhibition. It’s not about just going to the cinema. Filmmaking manifests in many different ways, especially because of the digital revolution. Filmmaking is no longer the soul preserve of the industry.”

He called on the council to help make the business case for a film office, especially for new productions.

latest SEAGULLS Up the Albion!

Mark Brailsford dreams of promotion

H

ere we go again. Planning issues for the Albion’s new training ground have hit stiff resistance from some Lancing residents. As a former Lancing boy I know this area well and was somewhat surprised to find a substantial number of objections to the idea from some locals.

For those not au fait with the plans, here is a very broad summary: Brighton & Hove Albion plans to build a state of the art training ground and youth academy at New Monks Farm in Lancing. This low-rise attractively designed building will not only be used by the first team squad, but the development and youth teams. The land is currently unused and lies adjacent to “I would have Shoreham Airport. It was originally thought the locals designated to be a golf course and earmarked for recreational sporting would be throwing use. The local council (Adur) were reportedly delighted with the street parties” proposal as it would bring much needed regeneration to the area and contribute to the local economy by bringing jobs and commerce to this quieter part of Sussex.

So, what’s not to like? From the resident’s point of view, some of which have their property backing onto the site earmarked to be playing fields, this is an unwanted development. What a shame, I would have thought the locals would be throwing street parties to celebrate the windfall. But sadly, a small minority of objectors seem intent on preventing the vast majority of local residents, many of whom are dedicated Albion fans, from benefiting from the development. The land is going to be built upon eventually; would they like another Tesco?

Good luck to those people in Lancing, the majority of which seem to be in favour of the idea; you have a great prize in your grasp that will benefit this little town that has never recovered from the old railway yards closure in the Beeching cuts of 1962. The kids would love it.

ock Riddell moved to Brighton in the ’50s, had several roles at the Albion, starting as a matchday steward, before becoming the club’s kit man from the 1980s until 2002. He was a Glaswegian ray of sunshine with a wicked sense of humour.

Jock once told me a story about a problem he had with washing powder. It wasn’t a problem with getting the Albion’s kit whiter, more about a sneak thief who was pinching the detergent. With a wicked sense of humour he replaced the powder with cement mix.

The next two away games look set to define Albion’s season. Away to a resurgent Blackpool side – who were unlucky to get relegated from the Premier League don’t forget – and a rapidly improving Nottingham Forest.

Gus and the boys will be contemplating a points tally that could propel the Seagulls into the top six, but are we getting a little ahead of ourselves?

After a difficult 1-1 draw at Doncaster Rovers, and some hard games against serious contenders such as Birmingham City and West Ham United to come, it may be a tad optimistic to be thinking about play-offs. But since when has that stopped deliriously happy Albion fans from dreaming?

An optimist would point out that Albion’s 0-0 draw at Birmingham looked poor on the day but could be massive come the end of May, and the 3-0 whipping of Southampton and Ipswich points to a certain potency.

With most Albion fans still pinching themselves in wonder at the magnificent squad being assembled, it might be worth having a look at the dates for the play-offs. Just out of interest, mind. Pssst, the Championship play-off final will be at Wembley on 19 May! Just a thought.

This week: Brighton Theatre directors Faynia Williams and Richard Crane

“

Gogol was our first production when we moved back to Brighton in ’78. It won the Fringe First award at the Edinburgh Festival and transferred to the Royal Court Theatre, London, and also played in New York and Moscow. Now it’s coming back home in a completely new production with specially commissioned music and soundtrack from Nick Pynn, and design

by Romany Mark Bruce.

”

Faynia Williams, award-winning theatre and opera director and BBC producer, together with Richard Crane, former resident dramatist at the National Theatre and literary manager at the legendary Royal Court, are directors of radical theatre company, Brighton Theatre. Founded in the 1980s, the company performed three years ago for the Brighton Festival, winning Best Performance Award 2009 for The First Domino.

Their Gaza play, I am a Warehouse, was performed at Newhaven Fort, followed by the Ballets Russes play Dancing With Demons. Now, their production of Gogol, a play full of comedy and tragedy, is set to be a highlight of Brighton Festival 2012.

COMPETITIONS ROBERTO FONSECA: YO

To celebrate the release of Roberto Fonseca’s latest album and his upcoming performance in Brighton, we have five copies of Yo to give away courtesy of ilkamedia. The Buena Vista Social Club© prodigy and Havana Cultura star has grabbed Cuban music by the horns and his new album is his most daring one to date. It pays homage to Cuba’s African roots, criss-crossing the Atlantic, while striking forward with red hot grooves and electronic beats. There are vocal collaborations from Faudel, Fatoumata Diawara, Assane Mboup and help from producers Gilles Peterson. Catch Roberto at the Brighton Dome 29 March. To win a copy of the CD just tell us: Q Which venue is Roberto playing in Brighton this month?

GRAHAM COXON: A+E

Graham Coxon returns with his new album A+E, which will be released 2 April, and thanks to Black Arts PR we have three copies of the CD to give away. Aptly named, not only for the sense of scratchy, frantic urgency, A+E features Graham’s distinctive visceral garage-punk-pop and is inspired by the experimental genres of Krautrock and the black and white, post punk era. This may be the closest Graham has ever come to making ‘dance’ music – in a skewed sense of the word.

More excitingly Graham’s about to embark on a special tour around the UK where he’ll invite fans to nominate local bands to support him. He will then select his favourite for each venue, playing Concorde 2, Brighton, on 23 April.

To be in with a chance of winning a copy of A+E answer the following question: Q Which Brit pop band did Graham play lead guitar for?

THE HELP

Critically acclaimed and inspirational film The Help is out now on Blu-ray and DVD and thanks to Premier PR, we have five copies up for grabs. The movie is an uplifting, poignant drama about three very different women in Jackson, Mississippi during the 1960s. A friendship between the women turns into sisterhood, when a young writer (Emma Stone) challenges the system for what she believes is right – a secret writing project which will break society rules and put them all at risk. The women bring everyone in town face-to-face with the changing times. Octavia Spencer won an Oscar for her portrayal of Minny, based on Kathryn Stockett's bestselling novel The Help. Tell us: Q Where is the film set?

“M

Y EYES! MY EYYYYYES!” Tonight’s overreaction in a public place is brought to you by my friend M. I look over at the opposite banquette, where he’s rolling around on the leather and clawing at his face like he’s been maced.

Then I look down at the picture on my phone.

“Sorry,” I say, “I scrolled the wrong way. I don’t know why you’re making such a fuss. It’s nothing you haven’t seen before.”

“That,” says M, reaching for his wine glass, “was a long time ago”.

A few months ago, it would’ve shocked me too.

The idea of trying to show someone my new top, only to accidentally flick through to a candid shot of my... um, bottom, would have sent me running straight to the restaurant kitchen to gas myself. As it is, I coolly slide my phone into a pocket and shrug.

On this particular evening, dinner with M is followed by dancing with The Girls (aka two ladies I lived with at uni, plus Nicole Scherzinger). This is a rare occurrence these days, what with jobs, conflicting schedules, two hours of MasterChef a week, and God knows how many of Saturday Morning Kitchen.

“Drink this!” commands one of The Girls, shoving a plastic jug under my nose. We are on a podium at this point, and apparently on deadline. Neon green straws bristle from the jug’s depths like alien antennae, and I sniff, instantly suspicious.

As I head to the bar to replenish our jug with something less combustible, I bump into another old friend from our uni days, T, a green-eyed Frenchman with whom I once shared a clinch inside a sunbed (don’t roll those eyes – he worked weekends at a solarium and it was 2002). It’s been years since we last saw each other, and I’m keen to... “What do you mean, married?!”

“Two years next month,” T confirms, pointing at his ring finger. “He’s great. Very handsome. He is in France now. He’ll move up here eventually, get a flat together and all that, but for now,” T squeezes my arm, “it’s just me”.

“The Girls are responsible for what happens next...”

With hindsight, it is almost certainly The Girls who are responsible for what happens next. “He’s gorgeous,” they say, clamouring around T shrieking, when – being an arrogant Frenchman – he takes his top off in the middle of the dance floor. Someone pushes me towards him. Someone else wraps my arms around his shoulders.

“Too bad you’re taken,” I say, moving my lips closer, brushing my nose against his. Someone has laced my hands together behind his head. I didn’t see who.

“Oh, hello trouble,” he murmurs.

“Bonjour,” trouble murmurs back. follow me on twitter

L7 INTERVIEW

Actingup Legendary actress and political campaigner Vanessa Redgrave is this year’s Brighton Festival Guest Director. Andrew Kay followed her for a day as she met the press and the public here in Brighton

I

t started with Anish Kapoor, then Brian Eno and last year Aung San Suu Kyi, memorable names, important characters in their own right – but none creating quite the excitement of the announcement that this year’s Guest Director for the Brighton Festival was to be Vanessa Redgrave.

Redgrave comes from a theatrical dynasty of international acclaim. Throughout her prolific career she has maintained a balance of both screen and stage work that sees her as busy toady as she was back in the early ‘60s when she first came to prominence.

As if balancing those two parallel acting threads were not enough she has long been an ardent political campaigner. Her strong views have often made the headlines but despite controversy she maintains a strong advocate for freedom and the fight against terrorism. She was appointed a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 1995, a role which she has taken very seriously and continues to do so. “Investing in children means investing in peace. It means investing in a future free of war. It is an idea I have dedicated my life to.” And it is with this motivation in mind she has come to Brighton Festival 2012.

I will be honest and say that I was rather terrified of meeting her, but when I did she held my hand gently and stared deep into my eyes, as if she was scanning my soul. Her eyes are the colour of the sea at the foot of the cliffs beneath Tiberio’s villa on the island of Capri. And for a moment I fear that they might be as dangerous, after all Tiberio took pleasure in throwing people down onto the rocks in the ice blue sea. But moments later I realise that she is relaxed and calm, despite a barrage of press attention, cameras and film crews.

I start by congratulating her on her most recent Best Actress award. “The shelves at Chateau Redgrave must be heaving under the weight of your accumulated awards,” I joke.

She rocks back in the leather armchair and laughs loudly. “Ha, more like hovel Redgrave!” I immediately realise that this is a woman with no pretences.

Already I have listened to her making her first speech as Guest Director and she has been keen to explain that she sees her position as an actress and a public figure as one that she must use to further her causes, and right now her main cause is the plight of children across the world.

I ask her to tell me about the part she will play as guest curator of this year’s Brighton Festival.

“I’m not a curator, no, far from it, I am a guest director. Curatorship is a much larger job and not one that I would undertake.” It’s a ticking off but done in good humour.

I then ask if she actually gets to see much theatre “It’s one of the sad things about being a busy working actor, apart from a snatched matinee here and there we hardly get to see any live theatre. It’s one of the things that I really miss.” So will she be making a point of seeing as much as she can in this year’s festival? “I plan to see as much as possible. There are so many exciting things to see. It will be good to be an audience member for once.”

My time with her is limited by the busy schedule of press events but later the same day I go along to hear her speak once again. This time she repeats her commitment to children’s causes and says that she is very excited about the opening event of the festival, the annual Children’s Parade. So much so that she is determined that

she will lead the parade of over 5,000 local kids on Saturday 5 May. She also takes the opportunity to talk about her other passions and to introduce her son, the film maker Carlo Nero and the film that she will present during the festival. The Killing Fields is an impassioned look at how our taxation system impacts on our ecosystem and asks the question ‘Can we save the environment and the decimation of species by making a massive shift in the way we run our economy?’ It’s clearly an issue she feels very strongly about and already I have heard her attack current systems, questioning the logic of taxing both employees and employers for every job and making it sometimes impossible for small business (particularly in the agricultural sector) to employ people.

For one of the world’s best known actors, politics is never far behind her work on stage and film, and no doubt she will use her time here to further her campaigns for freedom and for the rights of children. At the same time this is a rare opportunity to hear her perform and speak live, to see some of her great film roles and to perhaps get closer to one of the greatest actors and political campaigners of her generation.

At the end of the evening she is asked if she will read the poem which has been used as her inspiration for her directorship. Earlier in the day she pays tribute to Festival Director Andrew Comben by saying that the choice of poem, ‘ From The Republic Of Conscience’ by Seamus Heaney, was his suggestion. It may well be that he suggested the poem but after hearing this great performer read it you know exactly why he did, and why she has always and will always command such great audiences.

Vanessa Redgrave is Guest Director of Brighton Festival 2012 and will be making various appearances throughout the month of May. Box Office 01273 709709, www.brightonfestival.org

“I came back from that

frugal republic with my two arms the one length, the customs woman having insisted my allowance was myself.

The old man rose and gazed into my face and said that was official recognition that I was now a dual citizen.

He therefore desired me when I got home to consider myself a representative and to speak on their behalf in my own tongue.

Their embassies, he said, were everywhere but operated independently and no ambassador would ever be relieved”

piece, is a magical and playful new work by artistic director Mark Baldwin, who celebrates a decade as the Company’s artistic director this year. It presents the world as seen through the eyes of a group of mischievous children. The piece captures the buoyancy and natural comedy of play in this uplifting work.

this brutal and seductive work has been created to celebrate the writer’s centenary year.

Kettle’s on!

Latest 7 looks at the benefits of kettlebells training for improved health & fitness

K

ettlebells training has taken off in western society over the last few years. The stereotypical image of a heavy muscled Russian (with moustache, of course) lifting weights is no more. Celebrity fans have made kettlebells cool, and training classes and bootcamps have made kettlebells a fun and effective form of exercise. Jennifer Lopez, Katherine Heigl and Matthew McConaughey are among the stars loving kettlebells right now and have you seen how toned these three are looking?!

Celeb endorsements aside, it’s time to jump on the kettlebells bandwagon and see what all the fuss is about.

Two years ago, you probably would have received a blank look if you were asked what kettlebells were. Today, the bowling ball-sized cast iron weights are making waves on the fitness front. Why? Because it offers a whole-body workout, building both strength and stability.

What makes kettlebells so great?

Unlike regular weight training in gyms, kettlebells focus on fast movement as opposed to slow and controlled lifts.

As a result, kettlebells work your fast twitch muscle fibres. Fast twitch muscle fibres? Come again.

Put as simply as possible, we have fast twitch muscle fibres and slow twitch muscle fibres in our body. As the “The stereotypical name suggests, fast twitch fibres image of a heavy contract quickly and produce more power. These fibres are activated through kettlebells training, which uses muscled Russian speed and strength, rather than the lifting weights is slow and controlled movements of regular weight training exercises. So no more” kettlebells are extremely effective at working all the muscles in a short period of time, and can help your core. “Because you are using so many muscle groups, the energy demands of kettlebell exercises are much greater than conventional gym exercises,” says Christian Vila of Brighton Kettlebells.

Kettlebell training So, you’re sold on kettlebells, but need to find the right one for you and know what to do with one for maximum effect. A class is essential, as here a trainer will match you to the right weight kettlebell (it really is an individual thing) and take you through a series of exercises to strengthen and tone the whole body. Christian Vila teaches beginner classes to advanced and even holds regular weightloss bootcamps incorporating kettlebell training.

“All ages can try kettlebell training as they range from 4kg to 40kg. We have all ages from 16 to 60 years olds attending our classes,” he says.

Get in the swing and you may have found a new exercise regime for life.

The kettlebell swing is the essential exercise to master first. It is great for working the hips, legs and arms. A kettlebell workout is unparalleled as it takes endurance, strengthening and cardiovascular training to new heights: “Kettlebell training is one of the most effective and exciting ways to train,” says Christian. “It will burn fat; make you very fit, flexible and super-strong in a short time. Kettlebell teaches us how to use our bodies better, as one unit. All the moves are ground-based, and get you back on your feet, away from machines or benches.” Start small and see what you can achieve.

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD & DRINK

Food & Drink Andrew Kay finds plenty to eat and plenty to get excited about at Ask

Chain gang

A

s a serious foodie I am supposed to not like certain things, fast food perhaps at the top of the list and somewhere further down: restaurant chains. There is little doubt that as a champion of independence and independents I tend to favour local businesses, but in the current climate, where everyone has to fight for their share of a very careful market, I guess that everyone, from little to large, has to up their game.

Honesty being the best policy, I will come clean. My first visit to Ask was some years ago and I was not impressed. My pasta with a cream and spinach sauce had so little spinach in it that I asked why they had bothered. It was disappointing so I did not go back except once for a pre-wedding party where food seemed to be low down on the list of why we were there and drink very high.

Last week I found myself going back, the place has had a massive overhaul and looked pretty appealing so along with the lovely Ms P we headed in for a spot of lunch. Spot? Well, yes I certainly should have been a little more restrained, but the menu was just too tempting, so much more inspiring than on my previous visits, that I felt I had to give it a good thrashing.

“The menu was just too tempting, so much more inspiring than on my previous visits, that I felt I had to give it a good thrashing” The interiors were vibrant with more than a touch of that Alessi look about them, and there was plenty of space too with large, widely placed tables. We started with some hot herby bread, olives and deep green olive oil, all very good indeed. And despite it being lunch time and a school day we had a glass of Verdicchio each, well if it’s good enough for Joan Collins...

Ms P started with gnocchi arrabbiata. She’s a devil when it comes to chilli and loved the heady sauce spiked with bell chillies. I chose baby squid and I am pleased to say that they really were baby squid and not giant slices of inner tube. They were piping hot too and the crisp coating was very thin. I happily dunked away in decent garlic mayo until every bit had disappeared.

My expectations of main courses were pizza and pasta, so the presence of some specials that were not pasta or dough based was a pleasant surprise. Ms P, wary of forthcoming nuptials decided to have the chef’s salad. It arrived piled high and initially, we thought, topped with lashings of good mozzarella, avocado, artichoke hearts, prosciutto and Grana Padano

27

cheese. But we were wrong. It was not just topped with them but they ran through the very heart of the salad so that the last mouthful was as tasty as the first. I’m not sure as a diet driven choice it would score highly but on quality and quantity it certainly hit the mark.

My choice was sinfully less restrained, but really, when offered slow cooked belly pork, could you refuse? Well, I couldn’t, and very glad I am too. The pork belly porchetta was a good sized slab of falling apart, succulent, rosemary scented meat.

The fat had been rendered away during cooking but I suspect quite a lot had been given a home in the sliced Charlotte potatoes that lay beneath in a slick of gloopy, savoury niceness. It was certainly generous, definitely filling and above all it tasted blooming marvellous. I know that belly pork has replaced the lamb shank in the list of ubiquitous dishes these days, but this one was certainly worthwhile. I also loved that it came with a side order of perfectly cooked sprouting broccoli. Now I know that the Italian concept of al dente is meant to be the very ‘in’ thing, but I’m not a fan. Al dente for me is far too often code for hot but not cooked. I’m pleased to say that this was perfectly cooked and well deserving of its billing as ‘tender stemmed’ too.

There you have it, two courses for lunch and that is where we should have stopped, had we been sensible. But of course sensible has been erased from the hard disc of my brain so we moved on to pud. Ms P, feeling virtuous from her salad chose a creamy cheesecake on a cookie base, sprinkled with crunchy honeycomb chocolate pieces and proceeded to make very light work of it. I felt too full for anything of solid construction and went my usual route in such circumstances and chose ice cream. The espresso with chocolate coffee beans was great and a perfect match for the hazelnut which was really excellent. And to finish a piping hot espresso to set me up for the afternoon ahead.

With our starters at £4.95 and £5.05, our mains at £10.15 and £12.95 and puds at £5.15 and £3.95, it was reasonably priced and there were set menu options to be taken advantage of too.

So did I like it? You may well Ask – yes that capital A is intentional. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would certainly return.

A fabulous party and you have to do nothing!

NEW!! We can now film your party

n this, the last night of her whistle-stop tour of the UK, Mel C strutted out onto the stage of the Concorde 2 amid the smoke and lights as if she were still at Wembley: the audience cheered and held their digital cameras aloft in 21st century salute. She ran through her ballad-heavy roster of hits, and everything was slick, professional and bang on the money. And there’s the rub. While Mel herself looks every inch the tweezered pop diva, rather than the rock goddess she aspires to be, with moves honed in her stadium pop days, it would be unfair to criticise her simply because she happens to have been a member of one of the most successful manufactured bands of all time. The fact of the matter is that underneath all the slickness and professionalism, the crowd-pleasing, the girl can sing. But something was missing. The songs – solid, professional, write-by-numbers affairs – were ok, and the band’s performance pristine. Mel deserved better. The show lacked that sense of danger you get when the performers really want it, and the audience never lost themselves in the moment. Mel C has the voice, and the chutzpah, but all her rock and roll intentions will fall by the wayside until she allows herself to cut loose, and hires a band not of hardened pros, but of young bloods full of rock and roll spirit. The audience got what they paid for, but it could have been so much more.

BAND OF SKULLS

Despite achieving worldwide success with their debut album, Band Of Skulls are yet to replicate it here in their homeland, but on the evidence of this performance it’s only a matter of time. The Southampton trio have clearly been emboldened by international acclaim, and they owned the Concorde 2 stage like seasoned rock gods from start to finish. Their set effortlessly ploughed the line between heavenly beauty and the

deepest, darkest depths of hell, sounding inventively fresh and comfortingly familiar at the same time. The tight fusion of thunderous riffs, pounding drums, sweet melodies and good old fashioned blues was executed perfectly throughout, as the band demonstrated that they are more than ready to take a seat at the top table of British rock.

BOOKINGS | MUSIC CHART 29 SIERRA MAESTRA

Summer came early to Shoreham this month courtesy of the latest incarnation of Cuba’s finest exponents of old-time son music.

The serenading vocals echoed by the singing trumpet and backed with a tight percussion section kept the crowd captivated from the opening sun-kissed number. The blend of Afro-Cuban and Salsa rhythms was infectious, while guitarist Emilio Ramos delivered several Django-esque solos before duelling with his trumpeter son.

The three lead singers complimented each other excellently, always singing over that relentless 1 - 2, 1–2-3 beat and all members were allowed space to solo during an extended jam session. Caliente!

RICH HALL TOUR 2012

This was the second gig on Rich Hall’s tour and he joked that he was only sharpening it up for London, but his laid back attitude and excellent opening gags about Bexhill and De La Warr v Delaware made this a very entertaining night. It was a show of two halves: the first was pure stand-up, while in the second he was joined by his band to show off his considerable musical improv skills. A lovely show with inspired comic touches, by the end of the tour it should have everyone on their feet.

ALTERED EGOS

Brighton-based poet, Bernadette Cremin pieced together a gorgeous and entrancing evening with these ‘six tales of untidy lives’. Playing the succession of characters, from debutante through to murderess, she hardly skipped a beat. It’s an ask and what made this performance was the pitch-perfect quality of observation with acuity of language/diction sacrosanct, as ever – ‘boning a soliloquy’, ‘the soft punch of jasmine taking my mind by the hand’. Slivers of verse from her three collections – Perfect Mess, Speechless and Miming Silence – made it into the mix and some of the monologues, council estate livewire, Tina Regan’s especially, tripped off the tongue with bags of added verve. This should go next to London.

STAGE: CONNECTIONS 2012 The Academy of Creative Training presents a new play as part of the National Theatre’s Festival of New Writing

N

ational Theatre Connections is a nationwide celebration of new playwriting for young people. In March 2012, Chichester Festival Theatre will host a regional festival with a dozen School Companies and Youth Theatre Groups from the South East.

This year they have commissioned 10 new internationally inspired plays for young performers from some of the most exciting writers in the world today. From Manchester to Brazil young people have helped give these 10 new and invigorating plays an authentic voice – and they're now ready to have life breathed into them by young actors.

All of these plays have been written with actors of any nationality or racial background in mind.

Journey To X is written by Nancy Harris and directed by Tegen

Hitchens with Brighton’s very own Academy of Creative Training (the South East’s only professional Drama School) present this exciting new play as part of the National Theatre’s Festival of New Writing for young people.

A group of friends have formed a new band. Now all they have to do is raise the money to get to London to audition for the world’s biggest talent contest. Costumes, songs and fundraising techniques may divide opinion but one girl has a far more important choice to make.

Penny is 14 and pregnant but only her closest friends know.

Their journey for fame and fortune is really a journey for something far less glamorous.

Something their country doesn’t approve of, something their parents wouldn’t condone. In a culture of

instant fame and talent-show ‘stories’, the importance of life and friendship come to the fore.

It is a tale about friendship, a journey and the risks that teenagers take when plunged into an adult world.

National Theatre Connections Festival provides a fantastic platform for Brighton’s talented young actors to perform a brilliant piece of new writing. The company of teen actors represent Brighton in all its diversity and vibrancy. From actors and stage managers to sound operators and set designers, each stage of the process is managed by young people

The Hope, Friday 16 March, 8pm, £6 Xiu Xiu

Camille he programme for this O’Sullivan year’s Brighton Festival was recently announced at a launch and once again there is an eclectic and interesting line-up of acts.

Erased Tapes (11 May) celebrates five years with a showcase performance featuring A Winged Victory For The Sullen, contemporary classical composer Nils Frahm, and indie-electro from British Expeditionary Force. Presented

by The Great Escape, spontaneity is the key for Africa Express Sound System (12 May), an astonishing musical collaboration that defies all musical and geographical boundaries.

Camille O’Sullivan (16–17 May) used to be a fixture of The Spiegeltent when it was part of the Fringe Festival, and more recently she has collaborated with the likes of Marianne Faithfull, Martha Wainwright, Beth Orton and Marc Almond. A highly regarded interpreter of dramatic narrative song, Camille transforms each song into an intense theatrical experience.

Africa Express The mystique that surrounds the very Sound System short-lived Joy Division remains enduring and Brighton Festival is host to a couple of events that examines their legacy; The Music And Legacy Of Joy Division (17 May) features photographer Kevin Cummins and journalist Paul Morley discussing the band’s legacy, while Live_Transmission (18 May) sees sound artist, Scanner, and young classical ensemble, Heritage Orchestra, rework the band’s music using the latest sound design and creative technologies.

Like Bon Iver, James Vincent McMorrow (20 May) holed himself up in a remote part of Ireland armed with some basic recording equipment and a stack of literature – the result being the haunting Early In The Morning.

Like Ian Curtis of Joy Division, Sandy Denny’s life was tragically cut short, and in the years since her death, her reputation has been enhanced. This homage (21 May) features Thea Gilmore, Maddy Prior, Joan Wasser (Joan As Police Woman), PP Arnold, members of Bellowhead and Fairport Convention among others.

The Festival also features an exclusive double-header from two of Africa’s brightest talents; Fatoumata Diawara (aka Fatou) is from the Ivory Coast (but of Malian parents) and fuses jazz and blues with traditional Wassoulou while the Congo-born, Belgian-raised hip hop artist Baloji mixes Congolese soukous with reggae beats and his trademark Francophone rap.

COMEDY: BILLY CONNOLLY – THE MAN ALIVE The Big Yin returns to the Brighton Centre with a new show, but the same classic beard

B

illy Connolly is one of the most successful British comics of the 20th and 21st century, with DVDs, albums and various recordings winning awards, accolades and praise since he first started stand-up four decades ago. Known for his wild flights of fancy, personal anecdotes, and unpredictable whimsy, this tour has already seen controversy as he took exception to hecklers and made his disapproval known. Fair enough, he’s paid his dues with club nights, as a man in his sixties who could be drawing a state pension, he’s definitely earned the right to attention when others are paying over thirty quid (more than double that online) a ticket. And he does know his craft.

Delivering a full on show filled with humour, wit and off the wall thinking, this is what Billy Connolly does best, despite his BAFTA-nominated acting, travel presenting, humanitarian activities and book writing talents pulling him elsewhere from time to time. He’s in town for two nights so there’s no excuse for missing this living legend of comedy, before he’s had enough of it all and only comes out of retirement and onto the road to raise the funds to pay his tax bill (or some such other necessity, not mentioning John Cleese’s divorce settlement tour). So while he’s still willing and we’re still able, this is a class treat for comedy fans.

ameron Crowe is being hailed as returning to the form that won him his respected reputation with this heartwarming story of family loss and gentle recovery. He knows people and their details, as previously demonstrated in Almost Famous, Jerry Maguire and Say Anything, and this true tale relocated from England to California promises to be engaging and touching without a need to rush for the hankies or the sappiness police.

Starring Matt Damon as Benjamin Mee, a recently widowered father of two, he decides to pack in his job and pack up his family to the countryside to give them all time to recover from their shared loss. Clashing with his teenage son Dylan and trying to help his seven-year-old daughter Rosie, Benjamin’s idea to help them bond an’ that is to have them living in a dilapidated zoo truly on its last legs. The idea is to get them back in the saddle as a business and a family, with the aid of the animals and the assorted zoo staff – not least being the delightful Scarlett Johansson. A sweet and engaging flick for all the family.

Also starring Elle Fanning and Thomas Haden Church.

Released Friday 16 March Showing at Odeon and Cineworld

STARS With Val Aviv

HARIES {Mar 21–Apr 20}

A powerful configuration of planets aligns to empower you in your professional sphere of endeavor; realise your own worth and your zest for success is boosted. Take opportunities to secure and fulfil your highest potential.

HTAURUS {Apr 21–May 21}

Buoyant, congenial and lucky are just three of your special qualities, which are currently helping you to transform your life and your prospects. A special alignment of planets is helping you find your true voice and purpose.

HGEMINI {May 22–June 21}

What does the collective unconscious speak to you of this week?

It is bound to be in the silence that you get wind of something profound entering your heart. Embrace non-activity, as this is the place from which blessings are currently born.

HCANCER {June 22–July 22}

You may be forced to re-think your leadership style if things feel like they are getting out of your control. Don’t be drawn into power struggles, as they are a mere illusion. Time spent with friends is not only healing but also mind broadening.

HLEO {July 23–Aug 22}

If you need to make an important lasting, unforgettable and positive impression, then this is the best week to do it. Don’t shy away from the limelight as you are beyond lucky, being noticed now could land you the professional status you want.

HVIRGO {Aug 23–Sep 22}

Your future looks bright and so you should feel empowered to take the lead and champion the cause or progress. You’re ahead of the game on many levels, but there are some deeper mental processes at work.

HLIBRA {Sep 23–Oct 22}

Your ruler teams up with the ever-giving planet of Jupiter; together they are a dream come true. Their collaboration can empower you to sort out joint finances once and for all. Realise the value of your achievements.

HSCORPIO {Oct 23–Nov 21}

You have every reason to be optimistic as people are offering you more than just an olive branch, people really seem to be drawn to you and are willing to help you move forwards. Love comes to you in abundance.

HSAGITTARIUS {Nov 22–Dec 20}

Your ever-optimistic ruler Jupiter is teaming up with fortune enhancer Venus and focused Pluto boosts your sense of worth as you can relish in the success of your many accomplishments.

Watch out that over-zealous enthusiasm isn’t misunderstood.

HCAPRICORN {Dec 21–Jan 19}

Sometimes old philosophies can be re-visited and found to be more meaningful as your consciousness has since expanded and is now more attuned to some profound messages. You’re lucky in love and the good times can roll on without delay.

HAQUARIUS {Jan 20–Feb 19}

Spending time with family members you love will not only remind you of how very lovely the world can be but will also bring luck and the synchronicity back into your life. As Mercury retrogrades short journeys and communications could be stifled.

HPISCES {Feb 20–Mar 20}

Give extra time to think over your financial situation as Mercury retrogrades and may produce misunderstandings.

Being a socialite brings luck to you. You may long for romance to be fierce with passion; sharing the same goals will bring out its best side.

L7 TV Your weekly TV guide 813 – 19 MARCH It’s always good to have a conspiracy from the off before you even start with unwrapping any answers to find more questions (don’t forget answers at some point though Mr Abrams; learn from your Lost debacle). This opening episode With Victoria Nangle sets the scene and the premise. Bad guys from 1963 are arriving good as new, or at least as good as they ever were, with an agenda of their own, plus one of an unknown force. The force that took them in the first place. Detective Becky is our everywoman having her eyes opened to this as her path intersects that of a re-appearing con, and J Abrams has something of a magic touch for that of the good expert Doc (Hurley from Lost is high octane TV thrillers, so when I heard that back! Yay!). Doc knows more than everyone else he had a fresh one up his sleeve, grinning has ever forgotten about the island prison having anticipation crept in. As well as being responsible written four books on the subject. And knowing for the applauded and abandoned by many in more than they’re letting on but possibly being on frustration (mainly due to its our side at this point are Sam channel switching, darn you Neill and Parminder Nagra.

tuesday 13 MasterChef: The Final Three BBC1, 9pm After eight weeks of tough culinary competition you’d think it might start to ease. Not on your nelly! This is the start of the final week on MasterChef and things just got very hot in this kitchen.

John Torode and Gregg Wallace send the final three out to test their skills at three of the finest Michelin star eateries in Europe.

The Biggest Loser ITV1, 9pm Been feeling that winter bulge?

Then be inspired by the grand final of this Davina McCallfronted weight-loss competition (not her losing the weight, but her rallying the said losers of weight – yay!). It’s time to see who has lost the most weight in the house, winning good health and £25,000. Great incentive.

Murder, She Wrote ITV3, 6.55pm Name another TV series where you can not only recognise the theme tune but the font used in the opening credits. This much-loved cuddly killer series somehow makes murder as a crime on a par with ripping a teddy bear – essentially poor form but PG rated. Bizarre. J.B Fletcher looks into an old case.

wednesday 14 NCIS Channel Five, 9pm Abby is our favourite Goth lab mole.

Yup, she’s getting a little too involved in solving the murder of a naval scientist and the others are worried.

10 O’Clock Show Channel 4, 10pm Taking a look at the topical hot sports of the week and adding their own comedic slant, David Mitchell, Jimmy Carr, Charlie Brooker and Lauren Laverne attempt to revive the feel of The Frost Report with biting satire, sketches, stand-up and discussion. Hit and miss but worthwhile.

How I Met Your Mother E4, 7.30pm Dinner-time comedy sees our friendly neighbourhood womaniser Barney thrilled to be a contestant on The Price Is Right.

Nothing to do with an adoration for consumer goods and a knowledge of the Argos catalogue back to front. He thinks the host is his father and is after some bonding time. Cripes.

friday 16 New Girl Channel 4, 8.30pm There’s ‘quirky’ and there’s ‘surprised-she-can-survive’. This Zooey Deschanel sitcom isn’t quite sure which camp its main protagonist is in and isn’t doing anything to dismiss the idea that ‘ditzy’ girls needn’t be blonde to be part of a stereotype. Mind you, her male flatmates aren’t much brighter. Pretty are silly, perhaps?

Reverse Missionaries BBC2, 9pm Interesting. A series following modern day missionaries as they travel to Britain to discover the historical roots of their faith and – here’s the twist – to pursue their own missionary agenda in today’s contemporary Britain.

First off, Jamaican baptist pastor, Franklin Small, comes to the Cotswolds.

FILM: The Running Man Film4, 10.50pm Strange how just before The Hunger Games, based on a bestseller and telling the story of a futuristic gladiatorial arena to the death, comes out in cinemas, The Running Man – the same story but with grown-ups and less back story – returns to the small screen. Arnie in full kick backside mode. Quite good fun.
