snap shots Photographer Diana Frangi captures the faces and places that define our city. This week: Granny’s Gone Wild’s Lynn Ruth Miller

“

My show has grown over the years from a cabaret filled with parodies to a compilation of both humour and pathos reflecting what I feel is the foolishness to be found in modern life and the importance of having a dream to inspire you. Granny’s Gone Wild has all the best bits from all my shows together with songs featuring Tom Phelan’s magnificent piano interpretations.

”

At 79 years old, Lynn Ruth Miller returns with her unique brand of comedy-gone-bad in her one woman show, Granny's gone Wild.

Since taking to the stage at the grand age of 71, she made it to the final stages in Las Vegas in America’s Got Talent 2008. You may also recognise her from last year’s Britain’s Got Talent. Lynn Ruth is big hearted, sharp as a tack, and wickedly funny. Treat yourself to comedy, 22–24 May, 9pm at the Latest Musicbar. www.lynnruthmiller.net

latest brighton & hove news

What it’s like to be Mayor The Mayor of Brighton and Hove Councillor Bill Randall tells the inside story of his year as our first citizen

W

hat a year to be Mayor! With meetings I flew about 800 missions. All the usual great and diverse stuff that makes our city so extraordinary: Pride, the Brighton Festival, Brighton Fringe, the Artists Open Houses, the Mackerel Fayre, the Marathon, the Albion, Burning the Clocks, the Veteran Car Run, the university graduation days, citizenship ceremonies and countless community events, plus the icing on my year of the Olympics and the Jubilee.

The Jubilee figured large: street parties and church services from Kemp Town to Hangleton. Lighting

the beacon on Hove seafront and attending a thanksgiving service in Chichester Cathedral matched the following day in pomp and circumstance by the Golden Handbags Awards in Brighton’s Hilton Hotel.

The city celebrated the Olympics with the unveiling of the new Steve Ovett statue and by granting Steve the Freedom of Brighton and Hove.

The great man turned out to be all the things you would hope for in a hero. Welcoming the Olympic torch to the city and seeing it off the next morning were other highlights. And

urrently 11 companies offer Creative & Digital Media apprenticeships to young people through the organisation Dv8 Sussex. Dv8 apprentices spend one day a week learning skills and knowledge, and four days a week placed with an employer putting it into practice. If needed they can also get extra support with other skills like literacy, numeracy and IT. Dv8 is based in Brighton city centre, and when I visited recently, I was really impressed with the range of training projects in

creative and media industries they offer for young people.

They also offer advice and support to the many small creative and digital businesses in the city considering taking on an apprentice.

Dv8 also runs a programme for budding music gurus, the Music Industry Mentor Programme. Those on the programme are matched up to an industry professional who mentors and supports them for a period of six months. The number of mentors is expanding all the time, with eight new experts soon to be ready to take on people.

In addition to training and

the big issue the oldest torchbearer in Brighton and Hove, Sylvia Baker, turned out to be one of Steve Ovett’s teachers at Balfour Juniors. A warm reunion took place in the Mayor’s Parlour.

I joined the Olympic opening and closing celebrations at the big screen on the beach where I was asked if I was a rapper because I had “the bling”. It was a genuine question, late in a convivial evening. On three other occasions I was asked if I was the real Mayor or somebody in fancy dress.

More sport. I missed six penalties in a row when I opened the hockey pitches at Blatchington Mill School (wrong shoes, you understand). On the other hand, I did beat Gully and Dick Knight at ping pong but then was roundly defeated by a 14-year old girl who is very good indeed. And I’d rather forget about my game with the UK number one women’s player.

I rolled the first bowl at eight greens from Portslade to Rottingdean to mark the opening of the bowls season. I also tried my hand at archery, boccia, short mat bowls, tai chi, basketball and wheelchair football but drew the line at Zumba dancing.

I was there when Whitehawk FC were promoted to the Conference

apprenticeships, DV8 runs events such as the forthcoming free Creative Careers Event on the 30th May. The afternoon is part of the programme for B-Fest, the Brighton Youth Arts Festival Part.

At the event 14-25 year olds looking to get started in the creative and digital sectors will be able to hear from professionals ranging from concert promoters to digital media specialists about their careers.

Dv8 offers invaluable opportunities to young people interested in our burgeoning local creative and media sectors benefitting young people, our international reputation for excellence in this area, and the city’s local economy.

League and when the Albion missed out at the end of a very good season, which most of us would have settled for last September.

I started my year with a multi-faith service at the Unitarian Church, attended ceremonies to welcome a new Bishop of Chichester, a new Rabbi at the Reform Synagogue and a new Minister at the Dorset Gardens Methodist Church. I also went to a Ramadaan dinner, 14 carol and Christmas services and several patronal or saint’s day festivals, including a spectacular high church event at St Bart’s that included Haydn’s Nelson Mass beautifully sung.

However, my lasting image of the many faith communities in our city is of two girls playing football in All Saints Church, Hove, after a special Festival Service. It is a reminder of how much churches and vicars like Father Phil at All Saints, Father Robert at St Nicholas and Father John at St Andrew’s Moulsecoomb have opened up their churches to the community.

I sang (sort of) with the Brighton Morris Men to raise money for my three charities (Allsorts, the Women’s Centre and the Martlets). The Morris Men danced in the lobby of Brighton Pic: Tom Scrace

LATEST NEWS 07 Town Hall for the first and possibly the last time. Elsewhere, my wife Heather and I had a very funny evening at the Max Miller Society Dinner where Roy Hudd was in great form. The Brighton Toy and Model Museum granted me the rare honour of operating the Coronation Scot and (more small boy time) I was allowed to ring a fire engine bell at the Commercial Vehicle Run on the seafront. And Heather and I had a ride in a veteran car from Preston Park to Madeira Drive in the pouring rain and gale-force winds.

At Charleston House I heard Asa Briggs and Ian McEwan in a profound conversation that marked the 50th anniversary of Sussex University, in Wild Park I went to the 30th Moulsecoomb Family Fun Day and in the Mayor’s Parlour we celebrated 25 years of the Carers’ Centre.

The Mayor’s Parlour is rarely quiet.

School councils from across the city come to see the Mayor and visit the council chamber. The children are genuinely overwhelmed by the chains, the regalia and history of the city.

They all have a go at holding the mace with the help of Robbie, the Mayor’s minder, who is possibly the bestknown man in Brighton and Hove.

the Pride Parade in the sun. We went to 5 remembrance services in Brighton and Hove on 11 November and 13 in Dieppe to mark the 70th anniversary of the landings in August 1942. Many of the Canadian soldiers who died on the beaches at Dieppe were billeted in Brighton and Hove before the raid and the connection has been maintained ever since.

Culture plays a big part in every Mayor’s year. In mine it started with Michael Tippett’s King Priam in the 2012 Festival and finished with the remarkable Sam Lee, Thomas McCarthy and Friends singing

“It is the volunteers and other remarkable people I will remember most from my year”

Showboating at Gold Star Awards for looked after children

Interestingly, all this tradition has the same effect on visiting adults. A group of solicitors from a local firm responded in exactly the same way as the kids, posing with the mace and the robes before going into the grand Victorian council chamber, which reeks of more than 150 years of democracy and overwhelms most people, including the solicitors, on their first visit.

In the past year the parlour has also welcomed a host of local community groups, members of the business and arts communities and the universities, national organisations like the Red Cross, and visitors from France, Finland, Italy, China and South Korea, Iceland, China, Sweden, Iraq, Turkey and Uganda.

Often on parade, Heather and I walked at the front of the Children’s Parade in the rain and at the front of

traditional songs from the Roma, Gypsy and Traveller communities in a sold-out All Saints Church this year.

Of the other cultural events, the Hangover Square film set in last year’s festival deserves a special mention because it embodies the spirit of partnership that is such a hallmark of our city. Commissioned

by House 2012, it was a collaboration between Cinecity, the Festival, Brighton University and 400 students from City College who built the sets.

Another collaboration that marks my year was that between my three charities. The Martlets is a big and

successful organisation that has to raise £9,000 a day to keep its doors open. Generous to a fault, it shared its expertise and capacity with the much smaller Brighton Women’s Centre and Allsorts. All three do a fantastic job for the communities they serve and like so many organisations in our city they rely on volunteers to support them.

It is the volunteers and other remarkable people I will remember most from my year. The best people of our city, they’re not necessarily the wealthiest or the most celebrated, but those who work for their neighbours and their communities, their bowls clubs, football clubs, choirs and other groups.

Among their number are the nurse I met running a clinic for homeless people in the back of a St John ambulance on the seafront on bitter February night, having already done a day’s work in the renal unit at the Royal Sussex; Colin Bradford and Jill Mitchell who have organised the Moulsecoomb Family Fun Day for the past 30 years; and the 11-year-old boy who comes home from school and takes over as his seriously ill mother’s carer until he goes back to school the following morning. He is one of 23,000 unpaid carers in our city.

They and all the other carers and volunteers deserve our praise and support, as do the private and public sector workers, many of them in lowpaid jobs, who contribute to the city’s welfare. The great privilege of my year has been meeting these people from all communities. I thought I knew the city pretty well. After a year as Mayor I know it a lot better. More importantly, I know more of the people who actually make it work. ■

Key players & predictions Latest 7 Player of the Season: Liam Bridcutt.

Signing of the season: Matthew Upson.

2013/14 season prediction: Automatic promotion under a new manager.

Time for cricket The summer break will bring intrigue, transfer speculation and the usual crazy rumour mill. The disappointment will fade eventually and the fact that it really was an excellent season will sink in. It would be nice to relax a while and watch some cricket – that should ease the blood pressure.

Then when it all picks up again in August the excitement and the optimism will surge and this magnificently emotional roller coaster will roll once more. Whatever it does to your stress levels, there’s never a dull moment at Brighton and Hove Albion football club.

Have a great summer and thank you for reading this column, and a special thanks to those of you who came up to say how much you enjoyed reading these idle speculations. See you at The Amex next season. Seagulls!

hat an absolute let down. How many of you were present at The Amex to see Albion’s bitterest rivals snatch Wembley glory from beneath our noses? How cruel this game can be, and it had to be Palace, of all teams. Even though Albion had an excellent season overall, it feels to most fans like a relegation. To have lost to Udinese B, sorry Watford, or Leicester would have been awful but more bearable in a way. That it was Our Friends from the North will now go to the final at Wembley on 27 May was the cruelest cut of all. Gus Poyet didn’t quite cover himself in dignified glory either. Though understandably emotional after the match, he sounded like a man going somewhere else. After being linked to Chelsea, Leeds and Reading at various times during the season, he has shown he doesn’t see his long-term future at The Amex. Whilst fans were previously relaxed about this naked ambition, after the defeat to Palace, the come hither routine has now worn rather thin. One of the key skills in football management is the motivation of players; this was sadly lacking against the old enemy. The cold heart fact that one team wanted it more than the other is down to the manager – no one seemed inclined to blame the players. Still, at least Gus is honest enough to own up to what all managers think when they’re climbing the “There’s never greasy pole to the Premier League. But how must Tony Bloom have felt when he heard a dull moment Gus making his “I want answers” routine?

It is highly unlikely that Tony Bloom will take at Brighton & it too much to heart. He has shown shrewd judgement and patience with this excellent if Hove Albion somewhat excitable manager, lucky for Gus Football Club” perhaps, although he will be thinking of possible options at Everton and the like.

Will he stay or will he go? After that distressing defeat to that lot up the road and after that wily old journeyman manager, Ian Holloway got the better of him (again!) maybe Gus is not all that, after all? If he goes, it will be with the gratitude of the majority of the Albion faithful. He’s done a great job, but maybe he really has taken the team as far as he is capable of taking them and it might be time to give someone else the opportunity to take the club forward. Perhaps then, The Albion wouldn’t succumb so meekly to our out of form, injury ravaged arch rivals in such a dispiriting manner again. With due reference to an old headline, is it time to say “In the name of Gus, go?"

CELEB HAIR I

Is there no end to Holly Willoughby’s talents? The Brighton born presenter of The Voice came second in a recent poll of the top 10 most copied celebrity hairstyles.

With Cheryl Cole hitting the top spot we’re not quite sure how follicle-forward the competition claimed to be. Personally we’re more interested in the catwalk ready looks that strutted out of Brighton’s Trevor Sorbie salon last week. Stylists Anna, Rosie, Louella and Fergal presented a ‘catwalk to salon’ bloggers evening, presenting two strong looks from Autumn/Winter 2013; a Marc Jacobs 70’s inspired look and Peter Pilotto’s sporty ponytail (Fergal worked the Autumn/Winter 2013 Peter Pilotto show). Between them Anna and Fergal worked London and Paris Fashion Week across shows including Preen, Chloe, Kenzo and Hussein Chalayan.

So looks like for really fashion-forward looks the only place to go is Sorbie’s! Laters Holly, darling.

SINGLE PASSENGERS ONLY

Congrats to Brighton boy Mike Rosenberg, AKA Passenger, for making it to number three in the UK charts with his single ‘Let Her Go’. After disbanding from the original group of the same name, Mike decided to go solo, and relocated himself down under. 2012 saw the newly solo Passenger return to the UK to tour and open for the likes of our favourite ginger Ed Sheeran and jazz vetaran Jools Holland. Over in Oz the singer-songwriter has been making waves by holding the mighty Daft Punk off the top spot with their come-back single ‘Get Lucky’ featuring Nile Rodgers and Pharrell Williams. Whilst we like to champion our local lad I don’t think he’ll be shifting them off the top of the UK top 40 anytime soon –we can’t enough of Daft Punk’s new sound!

It was a sorry sight to behold when Brighton & Hove Albion lost to Crystal Palace in the play-offs and it was all witnessed by our fave Irish One Directioner – Niall Horan. The footie-lover and Derby County supporter was glued to the game while Brighton took a bashing, tweeting before the match: ‘“getting ready to sit down with a beer and watch the Brighton vs Crystal Palace game...best time of year ...play-off time...” Whilst we can’t agree it was our best time of the year it is good to see the Seagulls making an attempt for promotion – here’s to next year, guys!

While in town, the multiple marathon-running comedian/film-star was spotted indulging in a Salmon Teriyaki and Sushi feast at Moshimo. He also enjoyed an Artistic Gel Manicure manicure at celeb-fave beauty salon, The Lanes Health & Beauty. Eddie chose the dark red Diva Chic colour as worn by Victoria Beckham to William and Kate’s wedding back in 2011. As he left, Eddie posted a twitpic of himself outside the salon and tweeted ‘Just got my nails re-done at @julieannecoates Everyone was very helpful.

“P

retend we are Dutch,” I said. It was 3pm on a very hot day in Turkey. Lunch had been okay, the beer had been good and it was almost time to return to our sun loungers for the last part of the day.

Up until that moment the café had been relatively quiet, just us and a few other couples partaking of a break from the sun, a cold drink and a plate of food.

Then suddenly there was a distant but growing murmur. It started low and grew, grew until four ladies deposited themselves heavily at the table next to ours.

Forgive me if that sounds rude, the word heavily, but my word these were ladies of a very particular size, the one that is preceded by the letter X in a variety of configurations.

This may sound rich coming from an out and out porker like me but I assure you, these were big ladies, very big.

The sounds of them descending into the cane chairs was lost as they continued with what had been a murmur but was by now a roar – a great and scary roar.

It took me a few minutes to switch my brain into dialect identifying mode. But when I did it was veering towards the North East of the UK, a fact confirmed by Mr R. I have trouble with the accents of the North East. I once worked with a lady called Marilyn who I could not understand because I thought she was speaking German, but it turned out she was a

““Pretend we are Dutch,” I said. It was 3pm on a very hot day in Turkey” Geordie and I way-eyed off the mark.

The ladies started to chatter in the most animated manner and eavesdropping was not a choice; it was, by the volume, enforced upon us.

It was something of an education too. According to them the following advice needed to be heeded when visiting Turkey: 1. Looking at the beach was okay, but not going onto it. Apparently all Turkish beaches are “effing filthy”.

2. The sea is alright to look at, but not to go in.

Apparently the sea in Turkey is “effing filthy”.

3. The food in Turkey is alright if you stick to the

Of course we were not taken in, as for a whole week we have been enjoying the sand, the sea and the food – and had come to no harm whatsoever.

Funnily enough, the ladies, a band that by this point had expanded to eight (nine if you count the little girl who seemed to have been sent off to the “effing filthy beach” alone), seemed to have no problem engaging in social intercourse with the Turkish men who take such pride in being waiters. No, they were easy game and much merry banter was engaged in as they ordered drinks, and duly complained when they arrive not bedecked with rainbow foil streamers, multiple bendy straws and paper parasols (a bit over the top, I thought, for a lunchtime libation).

There followed much discussion about their accommodation, much of which it turned out was “effing filthy”. Then a debate with a man who it seemed was concerned that the child would burn if she did not have a hat and some sun tan lotion. We could not make out if he was part of the party, which by this time had, with the shifting of quite a lot of furniture, grown to 12. He didn’t look English, having the tanned leather hide of a local, but his accent was not clear.

We also learned that one of the ladies had lost her husband at the hospital after he had had a fall.

The hospital too was “effing filthy”, and she could not take it so had left him there to fend for himself, and in turn leave her free to flirt with the waiter.

It was a saddening spectacle as with each breath they shredded any last tatter of national pride we might have had.

We drank up, settled up and scarpered, and shame-facedly told the waiter that we were from Holland. I don’t think he believed us but I think he knew why we had done it. As for the ladies, I suspect they were simply waiting to find out if the waiter matched their expectations and was effing filthy too.

Christina Toimela learns that shyness is not a barrier to success

I

I

have always wanted to be daring and do something absolutely outrageous... but the truth is I fear the punishment. I have read horror stories of what happens in prisons and I want none of it. However, I am in the unenviable position of losing my house because it is under water and I am looking around for affordable housing for my declining years. Unfortunately, the only shelter that is “affordable” for me on my pension is a used Yurt in the Andes or an abandoned cave in New Mexico.

Imagine my delight when I discovered the Maconochie Center, a prison in Canberra, Australia, specifically designed to pamper lawbreakers with so much smother love that they realise the only way to have little fun is to obey the law and get out on parole. The philosophy at Maconochie is that if you give love, you will receive it. I think that is a wonderful attitude. It didn’t work for me with my two husbands, but it has been overwhelmingly successful with my dog.

The “guards” at the prison (called service providers) refer to the inmates as customers and do their best to give the darlings in their care whatever will make them feel wanted and secure. If one of their customers is feeling a bit depressed, why not cheer him up with a couple gin and tonics? Whatever works, as they say in the trade.

The residents at Maconochie Center live together in fivebedroom cottages. There is never a problem if two people don’t get along. The Maconochie Center has mediators on call to help the boys (you KNOW they are boys) settle their differences.

Perhaps one of them needs a long walk in the country... where there are sheep.

Perhaps the other needs apple pie a la mode? Who knows?

The staff at the center are there to help.

It sounds like a very fun place to live for me. All I would have to do is grow a bit of cannabis in my yard before my “The only shelter that is foreclosure and sell it in a “affordable” for me is a schoolyard. If I wanted to be certain I could stay at this used Yurt in the Andes” lovely place for the rest of my life (and after all, I am 80 years old – how long can that be?) I would have to toss someone around screaming “I am going to kill you!” My mother said that to me often enough. I know I can be convincing. The good news is that I don’t actually have to commit a murder... all I need to do in Australia is make the judge believe I really meant to do the deed.

Watch Lynn Ruth Miller at The weather in Canberra is perfect for me. You get four seasons, none too hot or too cold, and at Maconochie there are endless opportunities to explore the outdoors. I can use my computer at all hours and if I have a severe pain, I can get a prescription strong enough to use for recreation after the pain has disappeared. But the best news of all is that there has been a rash of pregnancies at the center since it opened. Why, I could finally have that baby I always wanted and not have to worry about dealing with the little sweetheart when it becomes a teenager. By that time I will be long gone and the Maconochie service providers can take over.

If you want total security, go to prison...

n issue 614 I told you about Xobo Soirée that combines design and performance. What I did not tell you was that we ran out of time for me to pick up my make-up bag and change of clothing to ease my transformation from a roadie/reporter into a guest.

This is when I met make-up artist Jeanette who touched up my face in the middle of working on the artists. I’ve never met anyone so shy, modest and into what I was doing: online TV production. I encouraged Jeanette to work as a second make-up artist for the Brighton Lights studio shoot. She did so well that I hired her for the next shoot to do the make-up for stars Guy Lloyd and Zoe Lyons.

Shy, modest and Toimela have never been put into one sentence and I have assumed that’s partly why the doors have kept opening for me. I was fascinated that Jeanette, the total opposite, was also able to open the doors for herself. I was inspired and had to find “Doing someone’s out what else Jeanette does but make-up is very does not tell before asked...

Jeanette studied Film, TV and intimate and people Special Effects make-up in 1997. Her first break was working on The Da need to trust you to Vinci Code. Since moving to Brighton, do it right” she has worked on numerous short films, TV, commercials and fashion projects. Jeanette does make-up because she enjoys being creative and making people happy with the way she makes them up.

“Doing someone’s make-up is very intimate and people need to trust you to do it right,” she says. “By gaining peoples trust I gain confidence.”

In TV, she likes most helping people to feel happy with the way they look.

She always tries to ask lots of questions about possible allergies, preferred looks etc. in order to help people relax. In films Jeanette enjoys being able to transform an actor into a totally different person.

The reason Jeanette can relate with the people she does the make-up for is because she has been in front of the camera herself. (I knew it!) She played the lead part in Janet Devis, a sci-fi/horror short by Gregory Films production.

And what else has Jeanette not told us yet? “I will be taking over Moviebar, the monthly running film screening and networking night for filmmakers and film lovers at the Caroline Of Brunswick,” she says. “ For more information about Jeanette and her brother’s production company Gregory Films visit www.gregoryfilms.co.uk and www.Moviebar.co.uk WatchBrighton Lights 49 at www.thelatest.tv Zoe Lyon’s verdict: “Jeanette did a great job on my make-up for Brighton Lights. A good make-up artist listens to the person they are making up and delivers what they want. Jeanette gave me a really good natural look.

Vanessa Austin Locke 28 reasons why Brighton rocks

I

’ve been known to give Brighton a hard time. I’ve called it lazy, lascivious and a bit of a cultural black hole, full of so much potential and opportunity – opportunity to lay on the beach instead of getting things done. But that was before I was ripped from the wanton womb. For the next few months I’m going to be Brighton Loves You

by Entropy 1/1 writing to you from the other side of the country and I’ve found myself making a mental inventory of the things I’m “I’ve never discovered going to miss about this who dresses those strange ‘city’. I’ve shared the list below in a bid to make windows but I always amends with the anarchicturned-shabby-chic townwant everything in them” turned-city that has bewildered me for so many years...

1. Hot chocolate with Grand Marnier at Café Delice.

2. My garden. Oh, my garden.

3. Yoga with Yogi Stu (smarter than your average Stu) at Dynamic Yoga.

4. My incredible neighbours – now dear friends; a proper urban family is rare and I’ve had the most amazing community.

5. Running along the seafront past the bandstand that my best friend Mike Macfarlane helped to resurrect.

6. Steak et Fritz at The Dorset which also doubles as my office. Big hug to all the staff there.

7. Tea at The Mock Turtle where my dad used to take me when I was a little turtle.

8. The window dressings at Tribeca in Bond Street – I’ve never discovered who dresses those windows but I always want everything in them.

9. The sofas on the balcony at The Duke of Yorks. Naturally.

10. Men that know how to lead at The Mesmerist.

11. The allotments round the back of the big house at Stanmer Park.

12. Rock-pooling at Blackrock.

13. Having my family nearby.

14. Three-day parties at Lizzy Bishop’s house with the Brighton Fashion Week crew.

15. Cupcakes from Angel Food Bakery.

16. Sitting on the edge of my bathtub over-looking the garden and smoking menthol cigarettes with a glass of brandy and Smog on the iPlayer.

(I quit smoking a year ago – best thing I ever did. Miss it every day.)

17. Hula-hooping with Ella and Casey on the seafront.

18. Picking elderflowers with Jen and making elderflower champagne.

19. Evenings playing volleyball at Yellow Wave 20. Days out at Charleston Farmhouse and Middle Farm with my mama.

21. The Spiegeltent at festival time – I’ve had some wild nights in that tent.

22. Woodvale Crematorium in springtime (if you ever want to get out of town in town it’s the most amazing escape.)

23. Gary the Pirate aka Gary Goodman who is always in every pub I go into and who is currently illustrating a children’s book with me.

24. The Public House Bookshop. This little gem closed quite a few years ago now and I missed it then but I miss it even more now I’m a grown-up.

25. Gar’s – best duck in Brighton and the loveliest hostess.

26. Northern Lights Bar where I met someone special.

27. The boys at Art Schism, and especially Steve aka Entropy who gave me the most beautiful one-off print when I left town.

28. My little cat Gideon, who’s staying behind to guard you all while I’m gone. Don’t worry – he’s a more fearsome beast than I am.

I’m sure I’ll think of more but that’ll do for now. Time to look forward, not back.

Opinion:

Mike Holland The Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice patron on ‘Find A Friend’

I

t’s a tough topic to think about but one that society needs to get to grips with.

It is a fact, I am afraid, that the majority of us do not pass away peacefully in our sleep. The reality is that many of us will need end of life care for which during lifetime we make very little provision. Even politicians are reluctant to talk about it and certainly very few are actively championing proper funding of this essential service. Worse still, the budget for government hospice support has even been cut whilst the overseas aid budget has been ring fenced.

I find it astonishing that hospice care is not 100 per cent funded by the NHS. However, even if we are totally blasé about what happens to us adults the mind boggles when we realise that even hospice care for our children with life limiting illnesses have had their budget reduced to circa eight per cent of their total spend. I cannot imagine any responsible adult would wish a child or their grieving family to suffer more than they absolutely have to. Yet here we see successive governments simply skirting around the issue as though it does not exist.

Let me assure you, and speaking “Even hospice care for as a parent who has lost a child, there is nothing more important our children have had than specialist hospice child care when you have a child with a life their budget reduced limiting illness. We should all be to circa eight per cent” lobbying our MPs to wake up and realise we cannot continue to ignore this issue. However, until we do find a political party who has the common sense to deal with hospice funding as a priority it seems that yet again it is the hard pressed British public who are attempting to fill the void left by politicians.

Chestnut Tree House Children's Hospice – the organisation I am honoured to represent as a patron, is fighting back. We have a large number of fantastic supporters but still for every child we can help a shortage of funding means there is another child and their family that we cannot help. We are the only children's hospice in the whole of Sussex and East Hampshire. We are currently assisting 280 families through the most traumatic times imaginable. It costs circa £3million a year to run the service and we could do with twice that to provide the service we feel the area needs.

We recently won two National awards for our ‘Pay For A Day’ appeal which continues to successfully allow companies and individuals to sponsor a day or multiple days of their choice. Sponsors can name the day they wish to support.

At £6,850 to keep the hospice open for the day you would be amazed how good it makes you feel to know that your company or you as an individual have kept this vital service open for a day.

Aware that we need to continually reinvent ourselves we have recently added a new concept. We felt that if we could double our support base we would in effect double our income if each supporter found just one other supporter to join our ranks. We have called this appeal ‘Find A Friend’. Put simply ,all we ask our supporters to do is to find one person who will support Chestnut Tree House as they do. As an example my ‘Find A Friend’ is holding various events throughout the year on our behalf. However not being the sort of chap to let the grass grow under his feet, he has, in turn introduced two people and it is easy to see how an idea like this can mushroom. I am hopeful that if we can continue to increase our support base then one day at least our children's hospice will be reaching all the families who need our help.

If you feel you can help in any way please contact our fundraising team at www.chestnut-tree-house.org.uk or call 01903 871820. We will be extremely grateful!

orld renowned for their elegant and subversive brand of circus, NoFit State launch their UK tented tour of BIANCO at Brighton Fringe.

When you think of circus, what comes to mind? Sequined leotards? Brightly dressed clowns? Think again. NoFit State will shatter any preconceptions you had about circus with their new show, BIANCO_Turning Savage. The show is coming to Brighton Fringe, after sell-out performances and critical acclaim in London and Cardiff.

Seductive, thrilling and enchanting, BIANCO_Turning Savage is the new NoFit State contemporary circus spectacular. It is a return to the company’s roots and iconic immersive, promenade work, an all consuming theatrical experience combining intoxicating live music, gravity defying circus and stunning costume design in a constantly evolving environment.

of BIANCO, is one of the five founding members of the company and is touring with the production this summer.

Tom says: “Where circuses were historically bonded by family ties, we are united by our work and our passion for the circus arts. Living together, working together, travelling together, laughing, eating, sometimes crying but always taking on the world together creates a spirit and a bond that brings our community together into something special. We put our lives in each others’ hands daily.

This trust, bond and complicity is evident on the stage and gives our work its unique heart and soul.

“We are delighted to be playing in Brighton again. I’m sure locals and seaside visitors alike will love BIANCO; it combines a beautiful fusion of contemporary circus with dance and drama that will thrill audiences. The show is wonderfully engaging as you are invited to walk among the performers and get up close to the action during this promenade performance. We hope we can feed your dreams, nourish your spirit and leave you uplifted and inspire you to challenge yourself and your world.”

The production has drawn in talent from 12 countries and three continents, for a show that will take your breath away. BIANCO has a constantly evolving narrative,

following the theme of transition and a journey.

Director Firenza Guidi explains: “A village, a community, a travelling world, BIANCO, is the story of a great journey inside and outside of ourselves. The story of a battle between beauty and brutality, the fragility of lost selves, of lost wishes and desires. It is excitement, chaos and beauty all rolled into one.”

BIANCO brings together the best UK and worldwide performers with a broad range of circus skills: swinging trapeze, aerial straps and rope, cloudswing, dance trapeze, trampoline, juggling, hand-balance and acrobatics. Jaw-dropping technique and high energy theatricality make BIANCO one of this year’s most awaited circus performances.

The tale is set best-loved novels of recent years. Now, the against a backdrop of tumultuous events, from European premiere tour of the stage adaptation the fall of Afghanistan’s monarchy through the heads to Brighton (Tue 21–Sat 25 May, Theatre Soviet invasion, the exodus of refugees to Pakistan and the United States, and the rise of the Taliban regime. It charts a friendship that spans cultures and continents and follows one man’s journey to confront his past and find redemption.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, Varmints (Tue 21–Wed 22 May, The Old Market) is the brand new children’s dance theatre show, which tells the poignant tale of one small creature’s struggle to preserve a world in danger of being lost forever.

Based on the award-winning book by Helen Ward with beautiful illustrations by Marc Craste, this thrilling production is choreographed by B-boy and New Wave Associate Wilkie Branson and directed by children’s theatre specialist Sally Cookson.

In Winners & Losers (Wed 22–Fri 24 May, Brighton Dome Studio Theatre) theatre artists and long-time friends Marcus Youssef and James Long sit at a table and play a game they made up. In it, they name people, places or things — Tom Cruise, microwave ovens, their fathers, rainforests, druids, etc. — and debate whether these things are winners or losers. As each seeks to defeat the other, the debate becomes highly personal, as they dissect each other's individual, familial and class histories. And because one of these men is the product of economic privilege, and the other not, the competition very quickly begins to cost.

Undoubtedly one of the jewels in this year’s Brighton Festival programme is My Life After (Fri 24–Sun 26 May, Brighton Dome Corn Exchange) – Lola Arias’ documentary theatre piece. Using photos, letters, tapes, used clothes, stories and dim memories, six Argentinean actors born in the ‘70s and early ‘80s reconstruct their parents’ youth. Seeking to answer questions like ‘Who were my parents when was I born?’ and ‘What was Argentina like before I learned to speak?’ each actor reconstructs scenes from the past in order to understand something from their future.

Funny, moving and frantic, they become their parents’ stunt doubles, wearing their clothes and trying to represent their lives to create a piece operates around the borders of reality and fiction.

That resonates with me very much. It kind of reminds me of the rebel and the maverick, the Robin Hoods of this world. I have always been attracted to those kinds of stories so I will always have a place in my heart for Fast And Furious. ”

Michelle Rodriguez talks to Latest 7 about reprising the role of Letty in Fast & Furious 6, who’s the toughest between Vin Diesel & Dwayne Johnson, & why she isn’t looking for an Oscar nomiantion anytime too soon Does rejoining the Fast And Furious franchise feel like coming home?

“I love it. This is my family. We got introduced to Hollywood together. Me, Paul, Vin. It is like working with the boys again. It is just amazing.”

Do you think you have a cult fan base among street-racers?

“Yes, for sure. I don’t think it’s so much ‘cult’ at this point. It is more pop culture. It started PG and it is still PG. ‘Cult’ would have been more like a Rob Rodriguez film, or more like a Resident Evil, the darker stuff where you get to see naked people!”

What’s new in this movie?

“I think it wanted to go more for the big ‘Wow!’ ‘How much s*** can we possibly destroy and what’s the craziest s*** we could possibly do with our location.’ I think they accomplished that really well.

There are some crazy massive things that will be destroyed and some really great action sequences but what is beautiful about it — and the only reason I am able to come back — is because they found the heart that threads through it. And of course that is what I resonate with.”

Do you think that movies these days demand bigger and better action scenes?

“I think that is what happens when people don’t understand what storytelling is about. When the writer doesn’t understand that, he starts to explore

He is a sweetheart. And so is Dwayne” explosions and s*** to blow up and, ‘What can we do that hasn’t been done before?’ That’s what people do when they don’t have the creativity to understand heart in a story. I am looking at it from another perspective of listening to stories, reading stories, being intrigued by mythology and so on and so forth. That’s what I see. I have worked in the action movie world for the last 13 years and that’s my world so I can tell exactly when somebody is running out of ideas. ” So what keeps Fast and Furious fresh?

“For me, it’s those cats walking on the other side of the tracks. That’s how I grew up. I love that, respect that and I think there is a different code of ethics and different moral structures to different tribes and you can never run out of stories with that world. You can go to Mexico and do it; you can go to Japan and do it; Moscow, you name it and you will find it because it will always exist. There will always be people who are on the sidelines, who aren’t abiding by the laws, rules and restrictions, maybe because they can’t, because they already have an

What can you tell us about your fight scenes in the movie?

“I got to train for about a month and a half to get prepared to fight Gina [Carano] in this one. That’s good. I am in awe of the lack of girl fights in the world today. I think more girls should be fighting. We’d probably get along a lot better and stop sneaking behind each other’s backs and talking smack while smiling in one another’s faces. If we were a little more physical about it we’d respect each other a lot more and men wouldn’t take over the way that they have!

But yeah, I fight Gina and I would rather be her friend because she could kick my ass with her hands behind her back to put it briefly! I had to train pretty damn hard just to make it look credible. I mean it’s Gina, man, and she’s pretty hardcore. You see how big she is? I stand in front of her and I’m like, ‘I should drink some protein, dude!’”

With Dwayne and Vin and the others there must be a lot of testosterone on this film. How do you deal with that?

“Oh, man, I swim in that stuff. I’ve been doing this for way too long. It doesn’t faze me anymore. Vin is a pussycat with me. He is a sweetheart. And so is Dwayne. He is really cool. I’d like to hang out with him more. I don’t have enough scenes with him. I grew up watching WWE and The Rock. That’s my world so whenever I see him it’s surreal. Not many people impress me because I was a real physical kid when I was younger. But I actually feel Dwayne’s muscles every time I see him. It is true.

They are like rocks.”

Who do you think is the toughest person on this set with all these action icons?

“In a street sense I would say Vin. And then in the training sense, in a capacity sense, I’d say Dwayne because he has been wrestling for so long and he trains every day. But that’s kind of like the same dynamic we worked out with the fighting process with Gina because once I got involved and saw that they wanted me to be like The Terminator up against Gina, I was like, ‘Dude, that’s not credible.

Letty is a driver. She’s not a fighter. Let’s not mix stories here.’ It isn’t Resident Evil; chill out! So we came out with the essence of what the fight would be. Letty is trying to get the hell out of there, and Gina Carano has this tactical training technique, but at the end of the day there’s the fight or flight in a human being and their will to survive. It was really interesting getting that right. ” You sound very like your character? How much of Letty is in you?

“Well, she’s more LA-Mexican. I am more New YorkJersey. I am more The Sopranos, baby! ” Would you be able to kick her ass?

“I wouldn’t fight her, man. I would want her to be on my team. It would be like, ‘What skills you got?

What can we do together?’”

How important is the female empowerment side of things when you choose a project?

“It is the only thing I look for. I am not a regular actress. A real thespian will embody anything and she has no judgment on the characters that she embodies. I am not a real actress. If I were a real actress I would do that. I am not interested in that stuff. I just want to make and create these icons that are really cool, that little girls can look at and be inspired by, make them feel that they are empowered and that’s it. Then I can go write movies and produce. I am not just interested in winning an Oscar. That is not my thing.”

THE TRENCH The Old Market, 12 May 2013 ✪✪✪✪✪

L

es Enfants Terribles marched into town with their breathtaking production The Trench and knock spots off so many festival offerings. This extraordinary show is so beautifully realised that it’s hard to know where to start. Oliver Linsley’s beautiful script is obviously at the heart of the piece and no doubt works as a stand alone piece of prose, but then... The addition of Alexander Wolfe’s haunting soundscape and songs, beautifully played and sung, Sam Dyer’s accomplished design, Paul Green’s beautiful lighting and Hannah Spearing’s costumes – they not only bring that prose to life but implant it deep into your mind – and all this before I mention the cast.

Ben Warren as Bert is quite extraordinary, his physical presence, the strong miner, undeniable. But it is his gentle vulnerability that has most impact. Alexander Scott, Elliott Rennie and Edward Cartwright are no less impressive as they undertake all other roles and act as chorus, as well as operating the stunningly beautiful if terrifying puppets and the complexities of what appears to be a simple set.

Having visited the trenches of WWI and seen the extreme conditions, I can now add this theatrical experience to bring them to life. Seldom have I seen an audience so still, so rapt and so moved. I cried, I cried a lot as Bert made his way through the horrors of trench life, faced demons and struggled to find his path. I left the theatre moved and wanting more. This is by far the best thing I have seen this Festival, Fringe or main programme.

ANGÉLIQUE KIDJO

Angélique Kidjo took the city by storm. A tourniquet tight band, her passion for music, her political conscience and, of course, that phenomenal voice – potent ingredients which produced an extraordinarily engaging and dynamic show. The audience were encouraged, much to the steward’s chagrin, to get up and dance and to join her on stage. At one point Ms Kidjo abandoned the stage and sang her way around the auditorium. A health and safety nightmare, but an utterly magical evening of sublime music. The highlight of the Festival? You bet.

The support, Josephine Oniyama, was excellent too. Check her out Concert Hall, Brighton Dome, 12 May 2013 ✪✪✪✪✪ Gary Mepsted

MAJOR TOM

Competition nut and endearingly infectious enthusiast Victoria Melody followed last year’s triumphant Northern Soul with a show that embraced the notdissimilar worlds of dog shows and beauty pageants. With her gorgeous Basset hound, Major, asleep on stage, Ms Melody took us on an insightful and hilarious journey that covered inappropriate stud mishaps and local best-inshow successes alongside her own foray into the human equivalent as she competed to be Mrs UK. Her immensely loveable persona combined with tongue-in-cheek outsider observations of these strange worlds made for a laughout-loud show.

WHAT’S ON REVIEWS & INTERVIEW HIGH VIS

HOW DO YOU WRITE FUNNY BOOKS FOR CHILDREN?

Aptly, festival Guest Director and acclaimed children's author Michael Rosen hosted this talk, welcoming the three award-winning funny children's authors Liz Pichon, Jamie Thompson and Philip Ardagh as if old and affectionate friends. Each presented a short piece on their own diverse comic creations and then the floor was then opened to questions. The main message seemed to be to 'keep one foot on the floor', meaning to make sure elements of real life were present and accounted for. Other themes such as fish out of water laughs, gathering inspiration from real life and an integrity to your own 'voice' developed, however the main ingredient to writing funny books soon became unspokenly evident as all four displayed themselves to simply be funny people. An enjoyable truth simply realised.

JANE AUSTEN’S NORTHANGER ABBEY

With just two actors, five puppets and a box of props, Box Tale Soup has cleverly reduced a Jane Austen novel to an hour-long play in this beautiful and imaginative production. The two actors played the leads expressively, while at the same time making the paper puppets into believable characters in their own right, swapping the puppets back and forwards between them, and incredibly even switching the voices from the man to the woman while still maintaining the characters. The props were well thought out, with a fabric theme of the printed word that harked back to the novel, and each family group marked out by different coloured handkerchiefs. A brilliant adaptation that brings out all the humour of the novel and a joy to watch.

FLATHAMPTON

Bus stops, bus drivers, a journalist, a DJ, a cook, a bank teller, a doctor, a clothing shop sales assistant; these and other delightful characters form the basis of a nonstop tour of Flathampton, a makebelieve land where everything is flat, and therefore a bit dull and, well.... silly! That is, until the children get stuck in, reconstructing the town and reenergising it, flatpack style. Held in the spacious Corn Exchange, this production works well particularly with those with an extra gene for enterprise and fun! Even for those a little shyer, the enticement of creative play and much fun is eventually irresistible – the Flathampton actors were certainly too friendly and playful to be denied. Even some of the adults present were joining in.

BBC SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

A big ‘Thank you’ to James Gaffigan and the BBC SO for introducing Hartmann’s enigmatic ‘Adagio’ to Brighton. Only 15 minutes long, still it is a work of stature and fascination. The orchestra easily met its extraordinary selection of challenges. Back on familiar territory, Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto was well-considered and richly-coloured. Although Eberle’s Stradivarius violin seemed underpowered, the audience loved her.

Under Gaffigan’s masterly baton the orchestra excelled again in Brahms’s 4th Symphony, ever my favourite. This was a deluxe performance of a great work by a sterling orchestra and a most impressive conductor. Please come back to Brighton soon!

LA CLIQUE: STEPHEN WILLIAMS Mechanical aerialist Stephen Williams creates quite a stir at La Clique. Victoria Nangle has a chat with the skyflyer Wow. Congratulations on a fabulous show in La Clique. How did you first get involved with them?

“I was recommended to them by the fabulous Lilikoi Kaos and Miss Behave, who I've worked with here and there over the past few years. So now here I am with the privilege to work with La Clique.”

What is a ‘mechanical aerialist’ – as what you do appears to be where acrobat meets dancer?

“I guess the term “mechanical aerialist” might be a little bit of a confusion from the way I’m introduced in the show. I do an aerial straps act using tyres for logistical reasons and the character I use in the piece is a mechanic. I’ve been asked if it was loosely themed on the photographer Herb Ritts’ series called “man with tyres” aka “Fred with Tyres” but it was actually just based around some fat tyres I had laying around and the idea grew from there. The acrobatics is from a roller boller act I do involving some dance and acrobatics but is very separate from the aerial act I do in the show.”

What do you start with when you go to choreograph a new routine?

“I wouldn’t say there is one particular way or method when creating an act.

Sometimes it can come from something you’ve seen or music you’ve heard that sparked an idea, sometimes it is created around stage and space restrictions, sometimes there is even a story of feeling you want to show and sometimes it is created around having fun onstage with fun people.”

If you could swap a scene with any of the other performers in the La Clique line-up, whose set would you love to have a try at?

“I reckon the MC “Shay Horay” looks like he’s having a pretty good time but I’m not to keen on public speaking myself so I’m not really sure!”

Do you ever get embarrassed by the enthusiasm with which you are received, or is it something to revel in – the best paycheck of appreciation?

“I’m often surprised at a big round of applause in comparison to my internal dialogue of how I think I’m going when performing. But I’m definitely not embarrassed.”

Have you ever been surprised by an audience member's reaction?

I think I’d better leave that one as ‘no comment’!”

What advice would you give to anyone who’d like to run away and join the ‘circus’?

“Ask your parents or legal guardian for permission and most of all get financial support before you start as it's often a slow start for most.”

It has to be asked: how do you maintain your enviable physique?

“Get a weights program written by a professional and do it often and on the days you can’t, do timed interval cardio using body weight exercises, always. There’s lots of stuff on Google...GO!” Are you enjoying your stay in Brighton?

“Yes, definitely! The people I’m here with are great and so are the restaurants and coffee spots. If only the sun would come out a little more often it would be perfect, but I’m sure we can all agree with that.”

La Clique, The Speigeltent, 9pm, 21 May–2 June (excluding Mon 27 May), £20/17. www.brightonfringe.org

Robert Cohen beautifully creates a world in which Quint, his middle-aged ex-military traffic warden, can no longer happily exist. Not that Quint is accepting this, no way, Quint is out there to stand up against the air rifle sniper and cling to the wreckage of his life as he is abandoned by his wife, barely tolerated by his gay son and mocked by his work mates.

Cohen writes with skill, the monologue flows with ease, the misogyny, homophobia and sundry other outmoded views are dropped into Quint’s world by a deft hand and are delivered with equal skill. Indeed Cohen as performer is as accomplished as he is as writer, delivering the lines with an energy and sense of realism that sometimes, in this school room style performance with the audience as budding new traffic warden recruits, seems all too real, his terrible anger surfacing through the despair of not being ‘understood’. Robert Cohen’s ability to balance the comedic with the tragic is superb and whilst this hour of Quint is rounded and complete I craved more, especially when TV comedy is currently seeing such a terrible low.

This compact production, so well realised, is the stuff that makes Brighton Fringe so worthwhile – more High Vis please and more Quint!

FREE ‘Stop Smoking Easily’ Ebook Launch

C

arol Adams of Brighton And Hove Stop Smoking is delighted and excited to announce the launch of her new book Stop Smoking Easily Without Cravings In 60 Minutes.

If you would like a FREE copy then email carol@brightonandhovestopsmoking.com or simply call Carol now on 01273 251251. (Also available on the Amazon Kindle Store.)

After successfully treating thousands of smokers over an eight-year period Carol thought it was time to publish her account about the amazing effects of Bioresonance therapy.

Carol goes on to explain: “Many people still have not heard of Bioresonance therapy and they therefore don't know how the therapy works, how successful it is or more importantly how easy it is to stop. So, I decided to spread the word by launching a free Ebook which is available direct from me via email or through Amazon’s Kindle Bookstore.

I had this treatment myself eight years ago after seeing an article on The Richard & Judy Show and again on BBC News explaining how it

worked. I stopped after just one treatment and have since become a fully qualified therapist and now run clinics across the UK and also in Spain.

Bioresonance is an alternative therapy that is completely safe and harmless. It has amazing results because it actually removes the nicotine addiction from the body putting you back to how you were before you ever smoked. You therefore experience no cravings or withdrawal symptoms.

What I particularly like is that most people I see now have been recommended by the family or friends who, after seeing the amazing results for themselves, realise how easy it can be to stop smoking... for good!”

So don't put off stopping smoking any longer. Save yourself thousands of pounds a year and enjoy a healthier, longer life.

Get your FREE copy now by visiting the Kindle store or email carol@brightonandhovestopsmoking.com or simply call Carol now on 01273 251251. You can also visit the very informative website www.brightonandhovestopsmoking.com

STAGE: MURDER IN THE PARK A season of deadly thrillers hits Eastbourne theatres

A

set of chilling plays are sure to take the edge off any summer weather in Eastbourne with Murder In The Park – A Thriller Season. With a new production for every week in the month of June; Devonshire Park Theatre holds host to four intriguing stories of murder.

The world premiere of Brian Clemens’ Murder Weapon kicks off this delicious selection starring Marcus Hutton, Ben Roddy and Philip Stewart.

When a chief constable accompanies her friend home one night to find her dead husband and an ex-convict on the scene, it all seems like a simple open and shut case. As the constable and her colleague begin to investigate further, the murderer’s identity seems less straight forward.

Francis Durbridge’s Suddenly At Home follows in Murder Weapon’s footsteps, however this time we stumble into a story of love and greed when adulterer Glenn Howard plans to get rid of his wealthy wife in order to gain a new lover and a lot of money. Marcus Hutton also joins this production along with Patric Kearns and Lara Lemon.

With a slight comic relief running through Marcus Hutton a sinister theme, Ira Levin’s Deathtrap deals with deceit and plagiarism as wellknown playwright Sidney Bruhl intends to steal the work of his protege and pass it off as his own. As you can probably guess by now, not all plans are foolproof and don’t be surprised when things don’t go his way.

To end the season as deadly as it began, make no mistake that Marcus Lloyd’s Dead Certain will not hold anything back. When out-of-work actor Michael is offered a large amount of money to act out a play written by housebound ex-dancer Elizabeth, the evening starts fairly pleasantly. The more the play continues to unfold, the more Michael starts to doubt the innocence of Elizabeth.

Following the success of last year’s Murder In The Park season, Brighton based producer Talking Scarlet is once again working on these exciting thrillers ready to keep you on the edge of your seat come June.

Devonshire Park Theatre, Eastbourne, Tuesday 4 June–Saturday 29 June, 2.30pm & 7.45pm, £14–£19, 01323 412000, www.eastbournetheatres.co.uk STAGE: BARNUM Cameron Mackintosh helps bring Broadway’s Barnum to Chichester’s Theatre in the Park In 1980, Phineas T Barnum opened his imagination to Broadway audiences and lit up the stage in the form of a fantastic musical.

End with Michael Crawford, who soon after went on to win critical acclaim for his role as Phantom of the Opera.

This year Mark Bramble has joined forces with one of the most powerful theatrical producers of his time, Cameron Mackintosh, to bring a revised version of the famous Barnum to Chichester’s Theatre in the Park. Mackintosh has been paramount in the success of Les Misérables, both on screen and in the West End as well as lending his creative mind to many other projects including the stunning 25th anniversary of Phantom Of The Opera at the Royal Albert Hall in 2011.

Get swept away in the magical tale of P. T. Barnum this summer as Christopher Fitzgerald plays the showman himself. Fitzgerald has previously starred as Boq in Broadway’s Wicked as well as Igor in Young Frankenstein and Launcelot Gobbo in Al Pacino’s production of The Merchant Of Venice.

Barnum tells the story of America’s Greatest Showman, his dreams and the relationship he shared with his wife, Chairy. We follow his life as he fills the world with light and colour before teaming up with J. A. Bailey to create Barnum & Bailey Circus – The Greatest Show on Earth.

Theatre in the Park, Chichester, Monday 15 July–Saturday 31 August, 2.30pm & 7.30pm, £15–£40, 01243 781312, www.cft.org.uk STAGE: IN TRANSIT The Artichoke Group presents a poignant piece of physical theatre with a superb solo performance In Transit is a brave and visceral piece of exhilarating physical theatre. It follows the story of Ella, who wakes up in a strange place, nameless and with a blank memory. This story deals with a serious and unspoken subject, the circus of life and death, the feelings of joy, happiness, and constant change in life. It’s a dark, tragic tale, and yet it is full of captured moments of sheer beauty and well observed comedy. It is in fact a strangely uplifting and life affirming engagement between one performer and her audience.

Accompanied by an award-winning soundtrack performed live by musicians occupying one side of the stage that forms Ella’s world.

The Old Courtroom, Thu 23–Fri 24 May, 9pm, £8.50/5

WHAT’S ON COMEDY&FILM, ART&EVENTS

EVENTS: LONDON 2 BRIGHTON CHALLENGE Some people are not treating this Bank Holiday as a time to relax. Welcome to the 100km challenge from London to Brighton

L

ife is often compared to being like a marathon.

When it comes to the London 2 Brighton Challenge, it is easy to see why. This one-off event, taking place over the Bank Holiday weekend, will see many people walking, jogging and puffing their way over a duration of 100km.

Starting in Richmond Upon Thames, the route of this colossal ultra marathon is open to individuals, groups of friends, sports clubs and even corporate colleagues looking to team build. Running virgin? Have no fear. This event has been carefully planned in order to accommodate people with a variety of physical abilities who wish to raise money for charity.

As well as making sure to keep you directly en-route, there will be food stops at every 25km with drinks and energy snacks provided additionally.

One of the great things about the London 2 Brighton Challenge is there are a growing number of participating charities you can help raise money for. Just some of the brilliant causes you are choosing to support are Great Ormond Street Hospital, Mind, Macmillan Nurses and Save The Children.

These will provide fundraising support, online sponsorship and other ideas to help you hit your challenge target. If there is an individual charity that holds a special place in your heart for any personal reason, you can still sign up and complete your 100km for the cause of your choice.

Action Challenge, the organisers behind this event, have been exposing groups, schools, corporate clients and charities to adventures like this all over the globe since 1999. They work with many of the UK’s leading charities in order to provide outstanding support and fundraising challenges. Thanks to the 2012 challenge, many are benefitting from over £1 million raised which they hope to triple this year.

If you don’t fancy setting yourself such a mammoth task for the Bank Holiday weekend, you can still get involved and cheer on friends and family either in London or Brighton. Motivate them to warm up at the start or be there at the finish to celebrate or offer a well deserved hug and a pint.

F

ormed only four years ago, mssrs J Willgoose Esq and Wrigglesworth have just released their debut album, Inform-Educate-Entertain, probably the only album to feature the likes of Marie Slocombe, a BBC secretary of the 1930s and Thomas Woodrooffe, a Royal Navy lieutenant commander, author, and commentator at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

“When we put the live show together we wanted to make it as live as possible, so even though there are only two of us I play guitar and banjo, there's keyboard work and sample triggering, there’s behind the scenes looping, then the drums, which is always good to watch, and his electronic triggers to loop stuff with.

We operate on the principle that it could go quite badly wrong! Behind us we have the footage that we’ve edited to fit the music, and we’ve also got some old TV clips. In a way the footage becomes the frontman and we play the music around it. It works quite nicely.” So says J Willgoose, who declines to give me his real name...

“I made the first song about four years ago, using samples and an old BFI film. Typically, we write a song based on a sample from a film, and then we reedit the film. It looks like they fit together quite naturally, but it is a timeconsuming process.” Using film footage from the British Film Institute, Studio Canal and various American public broadcasting films, the duo have forged a relatively unique concept that has seen them quickly develop a cult following.

“We’ve always had a good relationship with the BFI, ever since I first called them up and mildly battered them with requests. We do pay them royalties but it’s done at a mutually beneficial basis.”

It was the French based Studio Canal hat they procured the Conquest of Everest footage, and used for the single of the same name they released at the end of last year. The footage they use is mainly culled form the ‘30s–’70s period of the last century, ensuring that there may be no-one at their gigs who can actually remember being alive then.

“It’s nostalgia in a sense, for a bygone era... certainly, looking at the footage for ‘London Can Take It’ [a song off the album], there’s the segment where the gent is smoking a pipe and looking extremely unperturbed, in the middle of a neighbourhood that had been leveled by German bombers the previous night. I can’t see that happening nowadays!

“One thing that has become clear after starting this four years ago is how lucky we are able to operate now. It wouldn’t have been possible even just ten years ago. It's been a series of lucky events that has got us to where we are; it would be churlish to abandon this for the olden times!”

I

Bmusic It seemed as if the streets had melted/It seemed as if the air was scented/I wish all of time could be like this

T

hese evocative lines crop up two-thirds of the way through British Sea Power’s library-rock anthem, ‘Please Stand Up’. A genuinely wonderful song, it has all the requisite arms-in-the-air moments to bring together the soggiest of festival crowds, which is exactly what it’ll be doing at next weekend’s (hopefully not soggy) Meadowlands Festival.

The Brighton-based band will be headlining, and promise to add a litany of memorable moments to a festival that is already an expert in delivering them. An East Sussex stalwart taking place in the rolling grounds of Glynde Place, they have been fulfilling festival fantasies for what seems like forever, and all signs are pointing to this year being no different.

A long-time supporter of the Brighton music scene, this year will see performances from local heroes like Apples and Eve, Clowns and Intercoluter, and just about every other band that has graced a stage in our city. Like any decent festival, however, Meadowlands is about much more than guitars, with a night club, extensive comedy line-up and all the other flags and whistles you expect from a three-day knees up in the countryside It’s even got its own charity casino and pub, called The Silver Fox with an in-house band. Sound good? OF COURSE IT DOES, YOU FOOLS. As you’d expect, BMusic are going to be there, reporting our cute (our words) little buns off. We can’t wait to speak to some of the awesome bands there and, of course, you the tiddly general public! Come and say hello. And if you want to get the beers in, well that’s just fine with us...

'm going to share with you all a bit about my circle of friends and what we get up to when we go out. For some strange reason, a few years ago we decided to nickname ourselves the CFC (I won't reveal why though!). This group consists of me and two of my best friends Natalie and Nikita. Natalie is the outrageous go getter, who claims herself to be cute; Nikita thinks she’s a pirate and is a bit of a joker, and myself, well let's just say I'm nearly as weird as Nikita.

All three of us share the same weakness: we love going out raving! So our favorite spots are Yates, HedKandi, Smack, Shoosh, The Tube and an occasional Monday at The Volks.

Thursday nights seem to be the craziest for us. Just two Thursdays ago Nikita and Natalie went to a few spots before waking up in a cupboard on West Street (shame I missed that one). The weekend after Shoosh got a lovely visit from the two of them again. Perving on the DJ and doing what they call 'typical white girl dancing' they were definitely having a good night. From what I recollect they also had a bit of a dance off, which I don't think ended in their favour!

Anyway, by the end of this night one had ended up in a hotel still in possesion of her cup of vodka Coke, and the other had made it home and recorded some very embarrassing Keek videos.

Although I missed out on two very funny nights, Bank Holiday Sunday had to be the best. Me and Natalie ventured out to Yates to start off at the foam party. After a few cocktails we then went to see what was going down at Shooshh – all I can say is 1,400 people and house music wasn't really my scene that night. We decided to go on a hunt for a club that was playing R'n'B.... after trying three different clubs, The Tube saved our night! Walking in we heard our favorite tunes and saw a few familiar faces.

We danced terribly, probably had a few too many drinks and finished the night in Buddies restaurant complaining that they got our order wrong. I must admit once I was in the taxi on my way home I was ready for bed but had had another awesome night! Keep an eye out for the CFC's clubbing antics over the next coming weeks!

ou would have Princess Chelsea thought that following the three days of madness, rushing from gig to gig, queueing and sore feet and even sorer heads of The Great Escape that the juggernaut that is the Brighton Live Music scene would slow to a halt temporarily but it rumbles on with a surprising amount of decent gigs this week.

Tuesday sees the experimental duo, Public Service Broadcasting at The Haunt. Their electronic music mixed with samples from British archive footage makes for a stunning musical and visual experience. Supported by Brighton's own Nordic Giants who similarly accompany their post-rock with a visual spectacular this will be quite a show for those lucky enough to have tickets.

The following night sees a huge gig at Brighton Dome with The Flaming Lips playing as part of the Brighton Festival. This will be another visual spectacular. When I saw them at The Brighton Centre a few years ago it was certainly visually stunning, unfortunately at the expense of the music. Let’s hope there’s more music and less blather.

Thursday and supremely talented New Zealander Princess Chelsea is at The Green Door Store. Her album Lil Golden Book is in her own words “the result of three years holed up in various bedrooms composing and arranging her own aural fairy tale”. It's intelligent and unique music.

She was someone I fully intended to see at last year's Great Escape but missed her due to various clashes.

Nice Weather For Airstrikes holds their annual mammoth two days of post-rock and noise-rock bands at The Druids Arms on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Bands this year include Shrine, Monsters Build Mean Robots and Them The Sky. It starts at 6pm on all days and is free.

Expect noisy and sweaty fun and don't forget those earplugs!

Something much more mellow is occurring at The Basement where one of the UK folk scene’s biggest players Chris Wood is playing. His music is thoughtful and powerful and he’s picked up tons of awards for his songwriting over the years.

To round off the Bank Holiday weekend there’s a night of lo-fi psych singer-songwriterness at the Latest Musicbar brought to you by local label Sonic Anhedonic along with Brighton Noise. The artists appearing are Chalk, The Lunchtime Sardine Club and Tobias Hayes.

As usual more information can be found at www.brightonnoise.co.uk

STARS | TV

STARS With Val Aviv

★ARIES {Mar 21–Apr 20}

You currently have an ability to re-emerge changed and unscathed like phoenix that fiery morning. Necessity might be the mother of all invention, but reinvention is it’s spouse.

Making those small personal changes could kickstart a whole new process of that much sought after progress.

★TAURUS {Apr 21–May 21}

Your cerebral impulses are going to be sharp as your ruler Aphrodite unites with Hermes for a mercurial love affair in enigmatic Gemini. You’ll need a lot of social stimulus and will work best with people who are quick thinkers.

★GEMINI {May 22–June 21}

A powerful force for great transformation is afoot and only you can know in which new direction you want to take it. There’s a lot to like about yourself, be sure you are kind to yourself now. The full Moon is in your opposite sign so relationships will require some emotional investment.

★CANCER {June 22–July 22}

Everything in nature exists somewhere within the true cycle of time. While it may not be a good time for starting new projects, it is a good time to complete old ones and rest now because the light of clarity hasn’t yet risen.

★LEO {July 23–Aug 22}

The full Moon in fellow fire sign Sagittarius bodes well for love and romance. You may need more attention than usual and being creative holds the key to inner fulfilment. A female friend made now could have a special place in your heart.

★VIRGO {Aug 23–Sep 22}

Making progress in the workplace can be a long and hard graft, yet while you have the benevolent influences of both Venus and Jupiter, a little luck is thrown into the mix to help you take advantage of the opportunities at hand.

★LIBRA {Sep 23–Oct 22}

The rush of mind expansion can either leave you baffled or wanting to further your knowledge. Misdirected inquiry could lead to unfocused thoughts, time wasting and lack of direction.

Finding meaning above all else can prove the most rewarding.

Look further afield than usual.

★SCORPIO {Oct 23–Nov 21}

Creatively and romantically this could be a breakthrough time as Saturn’s antithesis Neptune is key to dissolving personal boundaries which don’t serve your best interests. Just like stomach bacteria, some boundaries are good and some are not.

What you need to experience, you can.

★SAGITTARIUS {Nov 22–Dec 20}

With the full Moon in your sign and so much in your opposite sign of Gemini, personal relationships take centre stage. Needs and wants are very different things and finding the right balance between them in partnership can be exhausting and rewarding.

★CAPRICORN {Dec 21–Jan 19}

Everyone wants to escape from time to time and you are no exception. However, daily duties and health programmes require your commitment and sweat to see them through. A little perseverance and you can steamroll your way through it.

★AQUARIUS {Jan 20–Feb 19}

Love is on your mind and in your heart, with Mercury and Venus in your house of romance, but sometimes when you need progress in this department, it’s Mars who steps up with the animal instinct. He’s not quite there yet, so be patient.

★PISCES {Feb 20–Mar 20}

Around every full Moon there is always going to be a conflict of interest between our consciousness and our unconsciousness.

You know you need to be seen out in the world being brilliant, but you also understand that home is where your heart is.
