Brighton and Hove will soon have its own terrestrial TV channel which you’ll be able to watch on your TV in your living room, and on your laptop or mobile. That’s modern democracy and of course localism. Especially news, democracy and political debate will be a big part of Brighton’s new channel. Question Time on BBC1 has proved that political TV need not be boring and we believe The Vote Show on thelatest.tv exemplifies this. And how could The Vote Show be boring?

New leader of Brighton & Hove Council, the Green Party’s Cllr Jason Kitcat, has been having a well publicised twitter feud with Labour’s chief whip in the House of Lords, Lord Steve Bassam. For the first time they debate in person and it’s riveting TV. As if that’s not enough, they are joined by one of the greatest debaters, not just in the Conservative Party, but in Brighton – Cllr Mary Mears. Park yourself in front of a screen and listen to them debate all the big Brighton issues, oh, and parking as well. Bill Randall talks about his year in office as first Green council leader while The Treason Show’s Mark Brailsford looks back at the year that was for the Greens. Frank le Duc does the Dimbleby bit and I know I’m biased, but I’m hooked!

On thelatest.tv this week you can also see Festival! 18 which is the award winners finale, the best of Brighton Festival and Fringe, and on the new Brighton Lights there’s extensive coverage of the phat sounds and amazing light show of the guy we call Norm – the world knows him as Fatboy Slim. Exclusive and extensive interview with Norm too in Val Aviv’s film.

So that’s what local TV is. Whatever happened to cats up trees and the ‘and finally’ slot?

Big Beach Bootique, Centurion Group host City Plan Question Time and Brighton Marathon 2013 Launch

Big Beach Bootique 2012 While the entire country prepared to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee, the county of Sussex celebrated Brighton’s fifth Big Beach Boutique at the Amex Stadium. Over two days, crowds of revellers gathered in their thousands to celebrate the return of their very own royal, Superstar DJ Norman Cook (aka Fatboy Slim), on Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd June.

The Two Bears introduced the beach party on Friday, followed by Maya Jane Coles. Luciano's house music and Carl Cox got the party started before Cook's arrival. Fatboy Slim began with ‘Star 69’, ‘Praise You’ and ‘That Miami Track’ to an incredible ovation, before dropping a beat with lasers and psychedelic visuals to match. Norman Cook is the first one to perform a musical event at the Amex Stadium.

latest brighton & hove news IN BRIEF ■ RSPCA FINDS HOME FOR 9,000 CHICKENS

AT RISK OF SLAUGHTER

The RSPCA has found homes for 9,000 chickens which were recently saved from slaughter. There were concerns about whether the animal charity would be able to find homes for all of the egg-laying hens. But after their story appeared in Latest, every hen was saved. Jenny Wells, the manager of the charity’s Patcham centre, said: “We just want to thank all the readers for helping us place all the 9,000 chickens that needed somewhere to go. We work with other groups to do it. And we’ve still got a few here but they’ve all been placed. That’s the first time we’ve managed to place them all. We’ll be rescuing some more in August. If anybody missed out they can always go on the waiting list for next time.”

In the meantime, the RSPCA is holding an open day at its Patcham centre from 10.30am to 4pm on Sunday 15 July.

AS VIEWS ARE SOUGHT ON REVAMP

Brighton and Hove Buses boss Roger French has warned passengers that proposed changes at Brighton railway station could mean fewer services for commuters. His warning comes as a council consultation about the future look of the area draws to a close.

Councillor Ian Davey, chairman of the council’s transport committee, said: “What we are trying to create is a great welcome to the city from the station area, a space that everyone can enjoy, and a place that helps you get where you’re going as quickly, or as slowly, as you want.”

But two of the options would leave less space for buses, cabs and cars as part of an attempt to make the area more friendly for pedestrians and cyclists. Mr French said: “I am surprised that with the constant calls for greater integration between buses and trains, plans have been drawn up which would see a significant reduction in space available for buses at Brighton station leading to a loss of service.”

Council officials are staffing an exhibition at the station to showcase their ideas and canvas opinions from 2pm to 9pm today (Tuesday) and tomorrow (Wednesday) from 7am to 2pm. The consultation closes on Friday (15 June).”

■ COURSES HELP TACKLE DIABETES AS PATIENT NUMBERS RISE AGAIN The number of patients known to have diabetes in Brighton and Hove has almost reached 10,000, according to the latest report from the director of public health. Hundreds more are likely to suffer from the condition without having had it diagnosed.

A local health trust has been trying out a threehour course to help people manage their diabetes or to reduce their risk of becoming diabetic. Sussex Community NHS Trust has been showing people how easy it can be to eat more healthily and exercise more. The courses – Walking Away from Diabetes – are intended to be relaxed, informative and enjoyable.

They have been taking place every month and have worked well enough for other health trusts around the country to want to adopt the idea. Family doctors and practice nurses have been encouraging patients to go if they are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Type 2 is the most common type of diabetes and is lifestyle-related..

7 days of headlines with phil mills Diamond Jubilee celebrations, stolen ruby ring and Amex Stadium a jewel in Sussex’s crown

I

t’s not often that a week’s headlines are dominated by good news, but this was one of those times. There were some amazing street parties for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations – and hats off to the villagers of Hurstpierpoint who laid on a treat fit for a queen. Cake contests, sack races and pass the parcel for the kids, 1950/60s music, bunting, union flags, a loyal toast, a rousing rendition of ‘God Save the Queen’ and enough food and drink to sink a royal barge; it was a day for the local history books. Residents on the Craven Vale Estate in Brighton celebrated in style and marked their estate’s 60th anniversary at the same time. Members of the organising committee dressed as monarchs including Charles II, Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth I and, of course Queen Elizabeth II. Up the Lewes Road at the Amex Community Stadium in Falmer, Fatboy Slim got tens of thousands rocking with wall-to-wall music. There were comments about 45-minute queues to catch buses back into town (largely due to the closure of Falmer train station, for safety reasons) and one

f everyone in the world lived the way we do in Brighton and Hove, we would need three and a half planets to support our lifestyles. That’s the simple truth behind One Planet Living: finding a way to live within our means for the planet we do have to share.

or two complained some drinks ran out, but there was an avalanche of compliments – the vast majority hailed the gigs as major successes, which bodes well for future community events at the stadium.

There were some ugly moments during the week – a total of 18 people were arrested during rallies held by nationalists and UK Uncut supporters in Brighton and Hove. The majority of those arrested were in their 40s and 50s, many came from out of town, and several had their collars felt for possession of drugs.

Latest 7 readers have been asked to help trace wedding rings stolen in a burglary at a flat in Denmark Villas, Hove, just a week before the couple’s wedding. The rings are silver, one has three rubies set into a triangle pattern, and the other has three holes drilled in a triangle pattern. Both rings have ‘Live for This’ engraved inside.

Back to the good news – the city council announced that improvements at Hove’s King Alfred leisure centre have been completed including new changing rooms, new flooring, new shower cubicles and toilets and improved access for the disabled. The centre attracts more than 220,000 visitors a year.

targets for communicating and acting on sustainability.

The city council is adopting this framework so that we can become a One Planet Council and I hope to lead Brighton and Hove to becoming the world’s first One Planet City. Adopting One Planet Living will help to shape and structure our work, thanks to the ten clear principles it sets out and the internationally recognised standards it requires us to meet.

By using One Planet Living we’ll have an independently verified, coherent approach to developing a sustainable city with a focus on

winning £746,000 to become one of the country’s first ‘music education hubs’ which will see a range of musical programmes with thousands of children and young people each year.

Among emails to Latest 7 came one from a Patcham resident complaining about plans to turn the Argus building in Crowhurst Road, Hollingbury, into the Brighton and Hove Bus Company’s new bus depot, “What has the council got against this area – we’re having another travellers’ camp imposed on us and now we’re going to have dozens more buses rumbling through our streets.

Give us a break!”

And a senior nurse at the Royal Sussex County Hospital expressed a word of warning to the council over its plans to expand public transport and cycle lanes in Eastern Road, “They should realise a great deal of people can only bring patients to the hospital by car and many visitors come here by car from a long way away. It is already hard for them and the council’s plans will make it a darn sight more difficult – the council has to realise that not everyone can or wants to ride a bike or catch a bus.”

healthy, happy people, supporting a strong local economy. I hope that by adopting this approach we can get away from debates over what is ‘green’ enough and which targets to pick, because that’s been done for us by international experts. We need to focus on taking action and supporting each other in achieving the targets.

The council can help, but everyone in the city needs to do their bit if we’re to become a One Planet City. I firmly believe that with the right approach we can increase quality of life for residents whilst living sustainably.

On your bike!

The annual London to Brighton bike ride is upon us, but travelling the other way remains difficult

T

he biggest bike ride in Europe rolls into town on Sunday. Almost 30,000 cyclists are expected, many of them joined on the day by friends and family. Most of those taking part raise money for charity, with the British Heart Foundation (BHF) being the main beneficiary. The event has become so popular that it has spawned two spin“Cyclists were offs. One, the London to Brighton night bike ride, was held for the first time just unaware that they over a fortnight ago, and an off-road version is scheduled for September. faced a ban on Almost 5,000 cyclists took part in the the trains” night bike ride. Some were disappointed when they made their way to Brighton railway station to try to go home. They were told that bikes were not being allowed on trains. While the organisers had laid on transport for people going back to London – by road – several cyclists were unaware that they faced a ban on the trains.

The situation has become familiar for those taking part in the main event.

For more than 20 years thousands went home on the train. But when the last of the old slam-door trains were replaced seven years ago, in came the ban.

The response from the British Heart Foundation has been pragmatic. It lays on a shuttle service with lorries to transport bikes and something more suitable for the saddle sore.

Becky Reynolds, from the campaign group Bricycles, said: “We were deeply disappointed when there was no longer a train service available for cyclists.

The arrangements with the big lorries on the seafront and the masses of bubble wrap are not ideal. We would like to see a sustainable solution. It’s not just the cyclists who take part in the bike ride who are affected by the ban on the trains, it’s all the other leisure cyclists across the area. Brighton is a destination for loads of events.”

She said that other rail operators managed to cope with mass bike rides although she acknowledged that the annual BHF London to Brighton bike ride was the biggest. David Holladay, of the Cyclists’ Touring Club (CTC), has previously urged train operators and policymakers to tackle the issue which he said also affects commuters. He wants trains to have seats that can flip up during events like the bike ride. He said that the Class 455 trains operated

by South Western were an example of more flexible design.

A spokesman for Southern, which operates most services out of Brighton station, said, “We have seriously looked at whether we could adapt our trains for this and it’s just not possible. It would involve removing tables and seats from every train and then putting them back. We have a peak train service to operate the following day. It’s logistically and financially not something that’s viable. It’s unfortunate, but the only way we can be fair to everyone is to have the ban.” He said that although the company didn’t envisage any change, it remained receptive to constructive ideas.

There have been hopes in some quarters that the election of a Green council in Brighton and Hove might lead to a breakthrough. After all, Councillor Ian Davey, who has overseen transport policy, is a keen cyclist and he has previously said that the ban adds to traffic heading into London in the morning for the start of the ride, and increases congestion in Brighton for much of the rest of the day. But he recognises that there is no quick win on this particular issue.

If we are serious about environmentally friendly transport and joined up government, then set-piece events like the bike ride ought to be a showcase for what is possible. Otherwise an impression is created that sustainable transport isn’t genuinely sustainable if, when it’s most needed, it’s not available. We need to get this right. What better way to encourage people to make healthier and greener transport choices – not just for the bike ride but all year round.

The future’s green The Eco Technology Show offers gadgets, fun and money-saving ideas. Frank le Duc reports

O

ne of the biggest obstacles faced by fans of greener living is the cost.

Another is the image – to many it all somehow seems worthy but dull.

A third relates to the everyday practicalities. All three are in the sights of the organisers of Brighton’s first Eco Technology Show. The two-day event at the Amex Community Stadium in Falmer combines science and fun and includes gadgets galore, a Tomorrow’s World-style glimpse at the future with a Top Gear-style test track. Although don’t expect to reach the same sort of speed as the Stig.

The choice of venue is fitting. Brighton & Hove Albion’s stadium is the greenest in the country and the club have been praised for their work in ensuring such a high proportion of fans travel to and from matches on public transport. The show on Friday and Saturday (15-16 June) also highlights another option for clients of the city’s conference and exhibition trade who have traditionally opted for venues on or close to the seafront.

The two days are intended to cater for different audiences with businesses targeted on the opening day and families on the second. Both will be able to check out a large range of electric cars and bikes outside the stadium. The vehicles on display are worth more than £1 million.

Visitors can try the latest e-bikes and e-trikes on a test track outside. It wouldn’t be Brighton if there wasn’t also a sustainable food and drink market alongside, teeming with organic goodies.

Inside the stadium the zones will include; •The Build, Energy and Home Zone, where people can find out how to improve their homes, cut energy bills and generate their own electricity.

•The Transport Zone, where visitors can check out some of the snazziest and fastest electric vehicles on the road.

•The Information, Education and Lifestyle zone, where people can try out new gadgets and talk to the experts.

A programme of talks and seminars will also combine practical ideas with money-saving tips. The topics include how to choose the best renewable energy option for a house or flat, how to make a home more energy efficient and simple ways to reduce waste and water use. The current drought may be the wettest on record but water metering is due to be compulsory within three years so the advice is timely. It could easily save the £5 cost of a ticket for the show. Nicola Gunstone, commercial director at the Eco Technology Show, said: “Tickets to the Eco Technology Show are selling fast as it promises to be a truly entertaining, educational and fun day out for all the family interested in making their home and lives more sustainable. “From checking out the latest and fastest electric cars and testing out e-scooters to buying and eating locally sourced sustainable food in the local food market and listening to the MPs and green leaders with the latest insight on the Green Deal, the show offers something for everyone.

TALKING THE TALK

‘BIG BEASTS’ GO HEAD TO HEAD Latest TV has brought together two of the biggest beasts in Brighton and Hove’s political jungle after they spent months engaged in a Twitter feud.

Jason Kitcat, the new Green leader of Brighton & Hove City Council, went head to head with Lord Bassam in The Vote Show on Latest TV. Steve Bassam, now Labour’s chief whip in the House of Lords, was leader of the council for 12 years. He ran the old Brighton Council and was the first leader of the merged Brighton & Hove Council. The pair were joined round the table for a heated debate with Mary Mears, the city’s last Conservative leader.

Latest TV’s Frank le Duc refereed.

Councillor Kitcat and Lord Bassam used Twitter to fight over the case for a council tax rise versus a freeze. They’re online battle began when the Greens published their first budget proposals just before Christmas. While some officials and political insiders have been uncomfortable with the pair’s frank exchange of views, others have praised them for their open approach to public participation.

Until their appearance on The Vote Show, the pair had never met. But they shook hands for the cameras before discussing their ideas about what’s best for Brighton and Hove. Although they are from different generations, remarkably both became council leader at the age of 33. But that’s where the similarities ended. Watch episode 4 of The Vote Show at www.thelatest.co.uk.

The first day of the two-day Eco Technology Show includes the Smart Business Conference. The conference features talks by pioneering Watch the big three debate! Cllr Mary Mears, Cllr Jason Kitcat and business leaders from companies such as Norman Lord Steve Bassam debate the Green's first year in power in Brighton Accenture, IBM, Logica and B&Q.

Those attending will have a play in the creation of formally close proceedings chance to network with decision-makers, subject Greg Barker at the Smart Business specialists, buyers and policy-makers. a low carbon future” Conference on Friday and officially open the second day of the Eco Technology Show on Saturday. The £99 cost includes morning and afternoon refreshments and a light lunch as well as admission to the main show.

Climate Change Minister Greg Barker, the Conservative MP for Bexhill and Battle, said: “We all have a role to play in the creation of a low carbon future, by cutting carbon and becoming more energy efficient. Events like the Smart Business Conference are vital to help spur on changes in the way we build businesses and run our cities and ensure we reap all the benefits that a move to a low carbon economy has to offer.”

Transport Minister Norman Baker, the Lib Dem MP for Lewes, said: “When climate change is the number one threat to our way of life we should all be looking at ways to be smarter when it comes to protecting the environment but this certainly does not have to be to the detriment of the economy. Helping the economy and helping the environment should be, and can be, two sides on the same coin.

“Businesses can save money by reducing waste or investing in video conferencing technologies and cities can use central funding to invest in public transport links to stimulate the local economy. The Smart Business Conference will be an opportunity to discuss and share new ideas in this field.” ■

Celebcity with Jo Brooks Fatboy Slim’s Big Beach Bootique takes centre stage as the good and the glorious come to party

CAN YOU KICK IT? B

ig Beach Bootique 5 was bigger and better (if not beach-ier) than all of its predecessors. Bringing together the finest names in house, techno, bass and dance music, the vanguard Amex stadium gig blew all expectations out of the (seaside) water.

Friday saw over 14,000 ravers turn up and party to Norman’s pick of the best house acts around. Kicking-off the day were The 2 Bears, a fantastic up and coming act signed to Fatboy Slim’s Southern Fried label, who recently released their debut album Be Strong. They opened the day brilliantly, with their single ‘Bear Hug’ ensuring the crowd got moving from the get go. Next up was the charismatic Maya Jane Coles who has already been burning up the decks across the world, on course to be one of today’s hottest house music stars. Many fans had flocked down to the stadium early to make sure they caught Maya in particular and she sure didn’t disappoint – confirming why she was awarded ‘Best Breakthrough DJ 2011’ by Mixmag last year.

Luciano brought the whole family along for his eclectic set which saw more than a few crowd pleasers pumped out into the stadium. His two little kids got down to Gotye’s ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’ as the crowd sang along with beers in hand.

Then it was time for megaman Carl Cox to take to the decks and show the youngsters how it’s done. Long-time friend and colleague of Fatboy Slim, Carl Cox has established himself as one of the definitive names on the house music

scene. Blasting out bangers such as Todd Terry’s ‘Keep On Jumping’, Carl was the perfect starter before we gorged on two hours of Fatboy Slim. Norman blew the Amex away with his mixing – encompassing his own tracks alongside house, techno, acid and bass. All in all Friday only left us wanting more – and we weren’t alone, with many revellers turning up for day two as well.

The second day of BBB5 took off with a bang as Union took the stage to entertain the first set of eager fans that stumbled into the stadium, some still recovering from the night before. The fans loved Union’s set and the DJs got the audience well and truly warmed up.

Next on the turntable was Doorly, a DJ who had a lot of people bouncing on their feet throughout his entire set. He proved himself a winner with remixed versions of Prodigy’s ‘Thunder’, which set the fans excitement scale up an extra notch.

Then Jaguar Skills provided another fantastic set, with the masked musician living up to expectations. The enigmatic DJ set the audience on fire (not literally of course) with his remix of ‘My Name Is’ by Eminem, called ‘My Name Is Jaguar Skills’, and other bangers.

Next up was fresh off the charts, DJ Fresh, who played popular songs such as ‘Hot Right Now’ and ‘Golddust’.

Fans demanded more when the artist finished, but his time was up, and he gave way to the beautiful Annie Mac. She gracefully took to the stage, playing blends of Rihanna and Azealia Banks, alongside club anthems. Afterwards the Radio 1 DJ greeted fans who had manage to squeeze through to the front of the crowd, taking time to pose for photos and shake the odd hand – even allowing herself to be doused in ‘fairy dust’ (glitter that is – nothing sinister).

The penultimate act of the weekend was the superstar English duo Nero. At this point, there was no stopping the audience, who seemed to be having the time of their lives. Nero unleashed their world-renowned songs such as ‘Guilt’ and ‘Promises’, getting them worked up for the main man to come.

Fatboy’s set on Saturday was a fitting finale to a brilliant weekend. With over 21,000 people getting down to his amazing mix including a tribute to Donna Summer, whilst he dazzled the crowd with pyrotechnics and a laser show that left us reeling. Fatboy Slim cemented his position as not only the dance king of Brighton but a confirmed member of worldwide DJ royalty as he reigned supreme over the two day festival. It won’t be a weekend we’ll be forgetting in a hurry – all we can think about now is when and where BBB6 will be.

There was something in my water that told me these guys were not your average buskers, their hats were too big to begin with, and the bandits were full of Mexican beans.

TAKE PART 17

Be a part of it Brighton & Hove’s free festival of sport, Take Part, is getting everyone involved in a summer of sporting fever

W

ith an exciting summer of sport in front of us, everyone is in the mood to get active.

Thankfully, the Take Part Festival of Sport is here to help us do just that.

The exciting programme of events kicks off in Preston Park on Saturday 23 June. This year there are over 18 activity zones in the park. So if you fancy trying something different, like mountain boarding in the Adventure Zone, or you want to re-live your school days with cricket or hockey, there is something for everyone.

People of all ages have the opportunity to try out a range of sports in a fun and non-competitive setting. The aim is to help you find a sport you like, whether it is nordic walking or petanque. Take Part want to encourage people to participate so that they can benefit from a more active and healthy lifestyle.

In this Olympic year, the Festival are hoping to get more of the city’s residents active than ever before. As a city, 25.2 per cent of Brighton and Hove adult residents are taking part in active recreation compared to the

national average of 21.8 per cent. However 41.8 per cent of adults do none at all. (Sport England Active People Survey 5 Oct 2010 – Oct 2011) So what can you do?

Many Brighton and Hove clubs are opening their doors to provide free or reduced rate taster sessions. Activities on offer range from croquet and windsurfing to table tennis and yoga. Schools also have plenty to choose from, with a range of Take Part competitions including athletics and swimming, as well as local clubs going into schools to offer tasters in sports like karate and street dance.

And if that’s not enough there are also Take Part local events being held on the weekend of 30 June – 1 July in local areas including Whitehawk, Hollingdean, The Level, Moulsecoomb and Portslade. Furthermore, the annual seafront festival, Paddle Round the Pier, takes place on the weekend of 7 – 8 July.

Brighton and Hove’s sporting celebrations this summer provide an opportunity for people in the city to share in the Olympic spirit and enjoy a truly memorable moment to shine.

On Monday 16 July 2012 Brighton and Hove will proudly host the Olympic Flame as it enters the city on Day 59 of the Olympic Torch Relay. With all this wonderful sport in the air, why not grab the opportunity to Take Part?

L7 INTERVIEW

WE LOVE YOU

SUZANNE Widely regarded as one of the most brilliant songwriters of her generation, Suzanne Vega emerged as a leading figure of the folk music revival of the early 1980s. Jeff Hemmings finds out more

B

orn in Santa Monica, California, she grew up in Spanish Harlem and the Upper West Side of New York City and her family home featured a mix of multicultural music including Motown, bossa nova, jazz and folk. At age 11 she picked up a guitar and as a teenager she started to write songs. She ended up studying dance at high school and then English literature at Barnard College. But it was at a 1979 Lou Reed concert that she really began her musical journey. Receptionist by day, Suzanne was hanging out at the Greenwich Village Songwriter’s Exchange by night and was soon playing iconic venues like The Bottom Line and Folk City.

Influenced by the likes of fellow New Yorker Laura Nyro and Leonard Cohen in particular, she once said: “I love [Nyro’s] inconsistencies and the characters she wrote about. Whereas she was very feminine, I was a more boyish kind of girl – I thought of her as the womanly figure that I would never be.” Vega’s demo tape was rejected by every major record company – and twice by the very label that eventually signed her, A&M Records – but her self-titled debut album was finally released in 1985, co-produced by Steve Addabbo and Lenny Kaye, the former guitarist for Patti Smith. A million sales later and it was clear that Suzanne’s voice and stories had universal appeal. ‘Marlene on the

Wall’ was a hit in the UK and 1987’s Solitude Standing album, again co-produced by Addabbo and Kaye, elevated her to star status. It included her most famous song, ‘Luka’, a song that has subsequently entered the cultural vernacular, and perhaps the only hit song ever written from the perspective of an abused boy.

“I’ve seen both sides of the city; I’ve lived in some rough neighbourhoods” She has said of the song; “A few years ago, I used to see this group of children playing in front of my building, and there was one of them, whose name was Luka, who seemed a little bit distinctive from the other children. I always remembered his name, and I always remembered his face, and I didn’t know much about him, but he just seemed set apart from these other children that I would see playing. And his character is what I based the song Luka on. In the song, the boy Luka is an abused child – in real life I don’t think he was, he was just different.”

Vega’s songs have always tended to focus on city life, ordinary people and real world subjects, and her cerebral but streetwise lyrics are often about New York in all its glory: “I’ve lived here most of my life so I'm naturally deeply involved in it. I’ve seen both sides of the city; I’ve lived in some rough neighbourhoods.”

Also on Solitude Standing was an a cappella piece, ‘Tom’s Diner’, about a nondescript restaurant near Columbia University. A hugely important part of American culture, diners are a funny thing: “It’s inbetween being home and being out in the street: you can feel a sense of community there with other people or you could feel alienated.” Without Vega’s permission, it was remixed by UK electronic dance duo DNA and bootlegged as ‘Oh Susanna’. Suddenly her voice was being heard in clubs in the UK and beyond.

Vega then permitted an official release of the remix of ‘Tom’s Diner’ under its original title which reached number five in the US. Meanwhile, Karlheinz Brandenburg, the German computer programmer was busy developing the technology that would come to be known as the MP3 and heard the a cappella version of ‘Tom’s Diner’ on the radio. He found that Vega’s voice was the perfect template with which to test the purity of the audio compression that he was aiming to perfect. Thus Suzanne earned the nickname ‘The Mother of the MP3’.

Over the next few years, Vega moved away from her acoustic/folk roots, experimenting with industrial and techno music, and in 1999 The Passionate Eye: The Collected Writings Of Suzanne Vega, a volume of poems, lyrics, essays and journalistic pieces was published.

An inspiration for a new generation for female folk-pop singer-songwriters such as Tracy Chapman, Shawn Colvin, and Indigo Girls, she returned to her acoustic roots for 2001’s Songs In Red And Gray, followed by the equally impressive Beauty & Crime in 2007. It was in 2001 that Vega suffered the loss of her brother Tim in the 9/11 attacks, but Beauty & Crime still sees her love of the city shine through. “Love is the only thing that matters/Love is the only thing that is real,” she sings on ‘Ludlow Street’, while on ‘Anniversary’, she says: “Make time for all your possibilities/ They live on every street”.

Writing, broadcasting and dipping her toes into the world of theatre for the first time since she was a teen, in 2006 she became the first major recording artist to perform live in avatar form within the virtual world Second Life, and continues to dedicate much of her time and energy to charitable causes such as Amnesty International, Casa Alianza, and the Save Darfur Coalition.

Over the last few years Vega has been rerecording her back catalogue, with stripped-down arrangements that highlight her lyrics and melodies, for both artistic and commercial purposes. Called the ‘Close-up series’, three volumes have been released so far, the fourth and final volume is out later this year. “They’re reinterpretations of my old songs and I’ve put them together by themes, instead of by albums.

All the love songs are on one album; all the weird songs about states of being are on another and then the hits, which I call, ‘People and Places’, are on another album,” she said. It has also given her a chance to revisit those first two albums: “[Producers] Addabbo and Lenny Kaye were inexperienced. When I listen to those records, even though they were the most successful ones, I’m not always that happy with how they came out.”

However, it’s touring that Vega relies on: “I’m always touring. I do about fifty shows a year – I just came back from Asia and that was great. I like the touring life. It’s how I make my living for the most part, and I’m really enjoying it.” She will be appearing at the Brighton Dome this month with support from ex-Soul Coughing’s, Mike Doughty.

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD & DRINK

Food & Drink Andrew Kay returns to Glyndebourne, this time armed with a picnic from Carluccio’s

Al fresco andante B

ack to Glyndebourne, this time for The Cunning Little Vixen and to accompany it – a picnic. Picnics and Glyndebourne are synonymous.

People tip up with everything from a fully butler-served dinner with linen, crystal and candelabra, to a bag of sandwiches in a foil wrapper. The lawns become covered in tartan rugs, folding chairs and the evening is peppered with the popping of champagne corks.

Over my 31 years as an audience member I have done the food thing in every conceivable way, from butties and crisps to a Fortnum’s feast. I’ve made picnics, bought picnics and attended other people’s picnics. I’m always amazed at how much low grade hummus and taramasalata makes it’s way to such a high grade event.

So after last week’s dinner in the Mildmay, I booked a picnic from Carluccio’s in Brighton. It required booking 24 hours in advance but was ready for me to collect from noon on the day.

First impressions matter and I was impressed by the compact nature of the picnic, stored in a nice blue chill bag, an almost perfect cube of food with plates, cutlery and napkins too.

So what do you get? Well we started with some excellent black olive focaccia, sliced salamis, olives, roasted peppers and balsamic onions. There was more than enough for two as a starter and to be honest, it was the basis of a reasonable interval snack on its own.

Next out of the bag came two salads of smoked mackerel with radishes and a good dressing. Generous enough once again to be a decent main course in a solo role, I loved it – lots of crunchy radish that had been kept crisp and fresh by the presence of a plastic ice block in the bag.

Then came a tray of delicious couscous with diced roasted vegetables. I loved this as well – plenty of herbs and the fat couscous that looks almost like tapioca. It was nice and easy to eat too, in an alfresco setting.

19

That would sound like mains over – but no, out came two trays of herbed new potatoes and chicken supremes. A huge portion that was almost the straw that broke the camel’s back.

In fact we only tackled one box and did not finish that.

To top off the savoury courses came two individual cheese flans – really good with excellent crisp shortcrust pastry and a tasty filling. My guest Ms Mc T loved this and polished off one in no time much to the detriment of her appetite for the other dishes which she nibbled at the edges of.

I ate mine too, and loved it. That should have been the end, but there was pud to come, a lovely chocolate and raspberry tart each, then a bar of chocolate. I hope by now that you are getting the picture, this was no mean picnic, this was a feast, designed for two but more than enough – plenty for one more, maybe even two.

What I loved most was the food, it was all as good as food in the restaurant.

The ease of getting it came second, the fact that I did not have to cook, or wash up, figures in there too. Oh, and the price, the price for a picnic for twois a very handsome £45. Now by any measure that is good. Had I gone into the local supermarket and picked up convenience foods I suspect that I would not have done quite so well in quantity, and certainly not in quality.

We added a bottle of Champagne to our picnic, from home, and had the most delicious evening on every level.

Picnics cannot be ordered online, customers are advised to contact their nearest Carluccio’s 24-hours in advance to arrange a picnic to collect.

Light bites Horses for courses The Rockinghorse appeal, a local charity that supports sick children in Sussex, is seeking the help of local restaurants to raise £10,000 by the end of August this year.

They have already had fantastic support from Gingerman Restaurants and Fishy Fishy but are now inviting others to join in the effort with their exciting new fundraising idea – Horses For Courses.

We asked how it works: “We have thought of some great ways for restaurants to get involved without taking up to much time or necessarily leaving them out of pocket.

“You could add and optional £1 to your customers bill, you could select a signature dish from your menu and choose to donate the profits form that dish or you could simply place cards on each table that invite customers to make a voluntary contribution.”

Rockinghorse supports sick children in Sussex, including those receiving treatment in the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital, (the Alex) and the Trevor Mann Baby Unit (TMBU) in Brighton. More than 44,000 children and babies are treated by the Alex and the TMBU every year.

With the help of restaurants and their customers Rockinghorse will be able to continue to provide lifesaving and cuttingedge equipment, while ensuring that young patients are treated in an environment that is better suited to their needs.

If you would like to visit any of their projects to experience firsthand how your involvement can make a difference, or if you would like to meet to discuss opportunities for working with Rockinghorse then they would love to hear from you.

You make the booking, we make it happen.

Tell us what you want, we’ll provide it all.

A fabulous party and you have to do nothing!

ith the beach no longer a viable option and The Seagulls’ spanking new, award-winning stadium in need of an inaugural music event, it was a no-brainer that Norman Cook would keep his long-time promise and choose the Amex to relaunch his mammoth party.

A huge stage with five massive screens took over a whole stand and after a full afternoon’s programme it was up to fellow superstar DJ Carl Cox to warm up the crowd before the headliner’s set. A real favourite with the up-for-it dancers surrounding the stage he kept raising the bar by dropping mega crowd-pleasers that had the more reserved punters in the stands spilling their drinks as they waved their hands in the air. Even the painfullylong queues for the pitch-side bars were making shapes to occupy their long wait for refreshment.

Thankfully the clean up crew made a great job of clearing the thousands of plastic bottles and glasses that covered every surface.

As dusk descended, Fatboy kicked off with ‘Praise You’ and it was game on.

‘Where’s Your Head At?’ hit hard and everyone, including local legend Peter ‘Mr Dancing Hands’ Turner rose to the occasion. Brighton featured heavily with ‘I’m At The Amex’ chants and seafront scenes looming large behind the decks.

An amazing lights and laser show elevated an inspired set peppered with snatches of The Supremes and too-brief tributes to Etta James and Donna Summer. Everyone behaved impeccably to make this a great success Steve Clements

SIMON AMSTELL – NUMB

Fans of Amstell’s BBC comedy Grandma’s House may have been getting the character of ‘Simon’ that he plays mixed-up with the real deal, but this new tour shows clearly the sharpness of Amstell in person, with laughs and insights coming painfully fast and intertwined. You can be sure that Amstell has been told on numerous occasions that he is so sharp he'll cut himself, and that he bears the scars to prove it. This was a true treat for the intellect

GARY NUMAN – MACHINE MUSICTOUR

Not a musician to rest on his laurels, Gary Numan saved his two greatest hits for the encore, as a jauntily disappointing ‘Cars’ led into a more adventurous and hard-hitting ‘Are Friends Electric’. His set – all lights, smoke and lasers – suited his oldschool rock front-man stylings, and while the arrangements were sequencer-heavy and synced to a video screen, his band were electric enough to make it work. Gary Numan gives a good show, combining avantgarde electro with grinding industrial metal, and if his vocals received a

THE SPACE

Quite how The Space keeps getting these incredible guests from the creative industries is a marvel unto itself. Continuing their pattern of one industry behind-the-scenes big wig paired with a front-of-house big name, last night opened with the sanitised but still delightful anecdotes of Muppets producer Martin Baker to open proceedings.

Filling up the second half of the evening was the larger than life Slade frontman Noddy Holder, a massive draw with the crowd and with no such qualms about cleaning up his stories, yet still delivering everything with that upbeat mode his flamboyant rock band were so known for. An incredible evening for many (including one man who confided he’d been after Holder’s autograph for 40 years), long may The Space continue.

I’m too old to remember Sesame Street, just about young enough to have enjoyed The Muppets but none of that matters. Behind the humour is a strong message too about the human condition – stop taking life so seriously, enjoy your flaws, celebrate your failings and just get on with it.

LATEST PREVIEWS STAGE

L7 Previews STAGE: HAIRY TALE New company Chocolate Box Theatre are presenting Sondheim’s Into The Woods – a big show in a small venue

I

first saw Sondheim’s Into The Woods in the West End, a huge production with a vast and complicated set and a full scale pit orchestra. It was an amazing success, as had been so many of his shows before.

Many years later I went along to The Trafalgar Studio, a small scale studio venue where they were staging a chamber version of Sweeney Todd. Todd in its original form had been massive, a huge glowering production that filled the stage of the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. I was apprehensive that it could be scaled down, but I was proven wrong. The Watermill’s production was stunning and went on to the USA, where Sondheim saw it and fell in love with the scaled down piece using actor-musicians and no orchestra.

Now three Brighton-based musical theatre professionals, Emma Edwards, Nathan Potter and Simon Gray, have teamed up to form Chocolate Box Theatre, a company dedicated to presenting BIG musical productions in small spaces, and their first presentation is Stephen Sondheim’s brilliant musical Into The Woods which they will be performing at the Marlborough Theatre at the end of July.

Into The Woods is a modern take on classic fairy tales that begins as a lively irreverent fantasy and becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children. When a baker and his wife learn they have been cursed with childlessness by

successful US tour and run in New York, the Reduced Shakespeare Company are back in the UK with the European premiere of their new show, The Complete World of Sports (abridged). The entire history of athletic competition is revisited in a marathon of madness and mayhem that sees the world's great sporting events shrunk down to theatrical size.

Among the many questions answered: Is darts really a sport?

What does NASCAR stand for? Why do Americans insist on calling a contest in which only they compete the ‘World Series’? Which is more boring – baseball or cricket? Who invented wife-carrying, bogsnorkelling and cheese-rolling? And why aren’t they in the Olympics?

Whether it's the ancient cavemen or the classical Greeks, the Romans, the Elizabethans or the modern sports media, The Complete World of Sports (abridged) brings you all the emotion, drama and random drug testing of sports.

righton band The Mojo Fins have been quietly going about the business of making records and gigging for a number of years, but their story is a fascinating, albeit tragic one. In 2007, band member Jon Chandler died in a road accident. He was responsible for the magnificently brooding ‘Pinata Face’, which was subsequently released as a single later that year, with all proceeds going to the RoadPeace charity.

The band, who along with Chandler, were made up of Stephen Brett, Steve Hoile and Dave Russell, made the difficult decision to continue as The Mojo Fins, recruiting fourth member Adam Luke Atkins, and set about recording their debut album The Sound That I Still Hear.

In 2011, the band decamped to the legendary Rockfield Studios in Wales (apparently the world’s first residential studio and responsible for a who’s who of rock giants, including Queen, who recorded ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ there) and with producer Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers etc) made the follow up album Shake the Darkness, a more expansive and textured affair that showcased the band’s penchant for dreamy, fragile yet epic soundscapes, topped up by Brett’s poetic outpourings.

They’ve just released ‘The Spirit EP’, four new tracks also recorded at Rockfield, with Dave Eringa once again in the producers chair. Their music continues to evolve and mature, but always weaving intricate melodies within the textured and thoughtful sounds.

LATEST PREVIEWS COMEDY&EVENTS

COMEDY: STEWART FRANCIS – OUTSTANDING IN HIS FIELD The king of snappy drollness had a chat with Victoria Nangle ahead of playing the Brighton Dome this week You’re known for your deadpan one-liners. Which is your favourite one-liner gag from the show?

“Probably the one about vagueness.”

COMEDY: BARRY & STUART – SHOW & TELL Stars of BBC1’s The Magicians and winners of the World Magic Awards: Best Comedy Illusionists, Barry & Stuart will be stunning audiences with their amazing new show.

Komedia, Wed 13 June, 8pm, £14/12

Your parents are British but you’re a Canadian national.

Much has been said about the similarities between the two nations’ senses of humour. How do they compare to you?

“British humour tends to be a little less paranoid. Btw, who told you that my parents are British?”

You were supporting Ricky Gervais’s Science tour at the Brighton Centre not long ago. His ill-treatment of previous support act Robin Ince was legendary thanks to DVD tour extras. How did you find him?

“I found Robin to be very friendly and a great dancer.”

What made you decide to relocate to Britain for comedy?

“I moved here because of my ‘alleged’ tax evasion charges and the ongoing ‘investigation’, but don’t ‘quote’ me on that.”

You’ve appeared on America’s The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, the UK’s Michael McIntyre’s Roadshow, the Montreal Festival, the Edinburgh Festival – are you ticking off national comedy institutions? What’s next on the hit list?

“Peter Andre.”

How do fans change from country to country?

“Probably shoes off first, then trousers and finally their tops.”

What’s your next big ambition? Is there a book you’re writing or a film you’re going to make?

“I’m writing a book about a film I hope to make.”

What’s your next small ambition (excluding answering these questions)?

“I’m writing a pamphlet about a photo I hope to take.”

The best piece of advice you could give to someone is: “Something that I hope they would take to heart and use to enhance their lives.”

re you ready to rawckkk?!!

Based on the hit Broadway rock and roll musical, Rock Of Ages promises to be power chord heavy; jam-packed with spandex and creating its own sky island in the ozone from all the hairspray employed on set.

The story tells of two dreamers who hit Sunset Strip trying to make it big in Hollywood. Funnily enough, there are obstacles for Sherrie (Julianne Hough) and Drew (Diego Boneta) to overcome before their talents might possibly be seen.

Set in 1987 check out the classic rock hits from the likes of Def Leppard, Joan Jett, Journey, Whitesnake and more. Plus some class period performances from Tom Cruise – in major strut mode – as well as Russell Brand, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Alec Baldwin and Paul Giamatti.

STARS | TV

STARS With Val Aviv

★ARIES {Mar 21–Apr 20}

Something that is said or communicated from the home can be the start of something much bigger. Keeping your inner rebel under wraps will be difficult as profound changes beckon. Your social situation improves and you don’t feel remotely alone.

★TAURUS {Apr 21–May 21}

Think bigger on the financial side and know that you can be secure despite fluctuations beyond your control; you shouldn’t have to worry about money for a while, as lucky Jupiter takes care of keeping you buoyant. Enjoy the lightness of being!

★GEMINI {May 22–June 21}

There’s not a lot you can’t make happen, with your brains, charm and good looks. However, with the added backing of the wish fulfilling Jupiter now in your sign, things will take a turn for the better! Soon you’ll be closer to success than you’ve ever been.

★CANCER {June 22–July 22}

The people who were calling you up and making you feel busy may suddenly be distracted; this isn’t a time to be lonely, it’s an opportunity to unlock your hidden potential and focus on yourself. Your words can change a partnership unexpectedly.

★LEO {July 23–Aug 22}

Your philosophies may have to change radically as you thought you had the power to predict your life, but will surely be proved wrong. Is there something that someone is not telling you? A secret goes unnoticed while you’re distracted by a whirlwind social life.

★VIRGO {Aug 23–Sep 22}

Some people are lucky and you may have been quietly envious from time to time, however, no one is going to be luckier than you this week. The two planets of good fortune are enveloping you in their magic. You are being noticed and will be rewarded.

★LIBRA {Sep 23–Oct 22}

You may be on the receiving end of some hard-hitting messages this week. Changes can be tough when it feels as though they are coming from the outside and we have no say in them. Go with the flow because as things transpire, things will ultimately lean in your favour.

★SCORPIO {Oct 23–Nov 21}

When things get tough, the tough get going. Or do they?

Sometimes, they stick it out just to prove someone wrong (even when it means they have nothing left to gain!) There are many ways to wriggle out of a tight spot; think creatively.

★SAGITTARIUS {Nov 22–Dec 20}

A noticeably lighter weight is placed on you and it’s easier to look on the bright side of life. You have a lot to look forward to and people are willing to help out where possible. Enjoy the generous influence and love, even if you put a foot wrong, it’ll go unnoticed.

★CAPRICORN {Dec 21–Jan 19}

Your hard work is paying off and while magic is happening behind the stage curtains the likelihood for you to overwork is beginning to reach a peak, don’t over plan the future, it’s better to under promise and over deliver than visa versa.

★AQUARIUS {Jan 20–Feb 19}

Upsets could happen and leave you with a lot to really think about. If this is how the gods of change approach you this month, it’s an excuse to go on a journey of exploration into the deeper aspects of life. Where possible, let your hair down!

★PISCES {Feb 20–Mar 20}

Have you decided if you’re coming or going? It’s tough when you yearn for opposing things simultaneously. What’s required is strength of vision. You do have the power to chose your destiny and bring opposing forces to yield under your design.

L7 TV Your weekly TV guide 812 – 18 JUNE from the pub. You know the kind of thing, usually set in Hawaii or Vancouver. Not LA and certainly not the swishness of New York. This is in a port town in Newfoundland, and as soon as the cop chief started telling the cop star that he ‘couldn’t keep behaving With Victoria Nangle like this’, listing among recent misdemeanours that he “scared a police dog into retirement”, I had that creeping feeling that this was going to be quality trash. Little did I know quite how much quality.

And how much trash.

That’s not to say that’s a bad thing. There is a time and a place for such things, as proven by the huge career of Arnold Schwarzenegger. It’s what kids love to do most when they get to play outside: shooting each other; quipping and playing the tough guy. It even has the same distractions: as a kidnapper and kidnappee get caught up in a side-bar about nut ometimes – just sometimes – a programme is allergies, in that ludicrous way you can stop midso ridiculous it will make me howl with chase around the playground to look at a dead frog. laughter. It’s not award-winning, it’s not a Republic Of Doyle is kind of what happens when brand new appointment telly series I’ve discovered, The A-Team and MacGyver swear and drink. it’s certainly not something I would instantly insist So with all this in mind it’s sort of not hard to see on buying all the box sets of. But it why Russell Crowe might have is something that fills me with elected to join the cast for one delight at its unashamed episode. Everyone from the off is “...what happens enjoyment of its own brashness, muttering about protagonist Jake quip-slinging, swear-smuggling when The A-Team Doyle – someone’s got to stop and wandering accents. I was him, he’s his own worst enemy, gripped and grinning from start to and MacGyver has he been fired from the police finish. Thank you, random third yet? – so it might be quite swear and drink” force series of Republic Of Doyle. nice for the Gladiator star to get I only really tuned in because a to run around the playground in big shout had gone out that which he isn’t the biggest and Russell Crowe would be guesting in the season toughest guy around. He even gets to have a bit of opener. Interest piqued, I duly tuned in, only to find a belly. And lots of fun. Like being tazered. Like that the rumours of Crowe’s actual sense of humour most of this programme, a thing that’s so not fun had not been simply a PR stunt. This is an Oscarin real life, but lots of fun in this kiddie’s land of winner guesting so that, as a kidnapper, he gets to make-believe rogue law enforcers. Bang! Bang! say such lines as; “So why'd you come back?

tuesday 12 Silk BBC1, 9pm You know that this series is coming to a head when phrases are bandied like: “the toughest legal argument of her career”.

Fair do’s, as it seems Martha is representing Jackson Henderson who is on death row. Seems Brit laws are nail-biting enough we need it to be a death row case.

Still, new episodes and Ted Danson being quirky is not to be sniffed at. When a woman is found dead dressed in ‘70s attire it looks like a staking gone worse.

thursday 14 The Men Who Made Us Fat BBC2, 9pm Here’s some alarming stats: More people are now overweight than undernourished, two thirds of British adults are overweight, one in four of us are obese. Maybe it’s not our fault? Of course it is!

But, Jacques Peretti traces those responsible for decisions 40 years ago that started changing our eating habits deliberately.

The House The 50s Built Channel 4, 9pm So, when was it exactly that the formal ‘front’ room became the hub of the bust household and more of a ‘living’ room? Sometime in the 1950s, if Professor Brendan Walker is to be believed. With scientific developments that range from safe paint to designer chairs, this dark and dusty retreat became a useful hive of activity.

Don’t Trust The B––––– In Apartment 23 E4, 9.30pm Not such a b–––– in this episode, Chloe decides to help June when our country mouse is upset about going to a wedding on her own.

Teaching her how to be fierce and sassy backfires though as James is so impressed he invites June out to a launch party instead of Chloe. B––– is back.

friday 15 Episodes BBC2, 10pm It’s all about favours – forget The Godfather, this is Hollywood and one hand scratches another...or something like that. Ratings are dropping, so Merc turns to Matt and asks him to get one of his old castmates from Friends on as a ‘special guest’. Might be tricky.

Meanwhile, Matt asks Sean and Beverly to write him a speech.

Big Brother: Live Eviction Channel Five, 10pm So, who remembers the name of the first evictee from last week?

Thought so. Hopefully this latest reject from the house of beautiful misfits will fare better with perhaps a few Sunday paper interviews and maybe having annoyed enough people to warrant a return later in the series. Brian Dowling hosts.

Dead Boss BBC3, 9.30pm Sharon Horgan is back on our screens with a smörgåsbord of talent in her supporting cast, including Jennifer Saunders, Emma Pierson and Amanda Lawrence. Horgan plays Helen, sent to prison for murdering her boss, the managing director of Entirely Tiles. Now she is a lady with a plan...for the prison quiz.
