PRELOVED DESIGNER SALE 05

DESIGNER SALE RETURNS The Preloved Designer Sale returns, giving you the chance to buy designer items or make cash from your closet

T

he Preloved Designer Sale is back this November for a massive preloved pre Christmas extravaganza.

The hugely popular sale comes to Brighton just a handful of times a year and is a must for any Brighton fashionista. A one Christian Louboutin shoes off event where you can buy and sell designer womenswear, it gives you the chance to not only bag yourself a bargain but also make some cash from your closet.

Do you have clothes sat in your wardrobe that you just don’t wear? Maybe they’ve even still got the tags on or you literally wore it once for a special event? Perhaps it’s an impulse buy dress, a pair of shoes that don’t fit, or a coat you love but just don’t suit. The Preloved Designer Sale is one of the simplest and quickest ways to sell your preloved pieces. Just drop your clothes off the week before the sale and the following week you get your cash. Easy, hassle free and a super quick turnaround.

Katie Carne, organiser of the sales says: “I love the idea of recycling pieces. Virtually every woman has

items sitting in their wardrobe they don’t wear and it seems such a waste. Let’s face it, if you haven’t worn it for a year you probably aren’t going to. This way you can make some cash, we can find them a new home and you can use the money to go buy an item you really want. In previous years many clients have made hundreds, some thousands of pounds in just one weekend.”

The team is currently taking autumn/winter pieces including everything from tops, dresses, coats to shoes, boots, bags and accessories. The sale prides itself on handpicking good quality pieces and take high end high street to designer, so think All Saints to Alexander McQueen, Whistles to Westwood.

And if you fancy grabbing yourself a bargain Chanel or a pair of Christian Louboutins at a fraction of the original price, don’t miss the big weekend sale.

There’s over a thousand pieces per sale, up to 70-90% off and prices start at just five pounds.

Ten of the galleries artists donated beautiful paintings to be raffled off with all proceeds going to Brighton water aid charity drop4drop. As guests enjoyed the art and the refreshments, Paola thanked everyone for helping make the evening a success, also revealing a brand new identity for the gallery, now named Art 5 gallery, to take her into the next 10 years!

Cunning plan?

It’ll have to be Brighton and Hove needs up to 20,000 new homes but where will they go?

The City Plan has the answer. Not everyone will like it. Frank le Duc reports

A

n inspector calls today (Tuesday 22). Planning inspector Laura Graham is due in Brighton to start looking at the City Plan to test whether it’s sound.

This looks likely to boil down to a question of whether Brighton and Hove City Council intends to build enough houses and flats over the next 17 years. What counts as enough is a matter of some debate and the government has a view on the matter but not everyone will agree with it or like it.

Depending on the planning inspector’s verdict, the City Plan could allow for about 2,000 new homes in multi-storey blocks at Brighton Marina. Among the other sites each with hundreds of new homes in the pipeline are Preston Barracks, Shoreham Harbour, Hove Station and Toads Hole Valley. The inspector is not looking at detailed designs. Those will come later, if and when specific planning applications are submitted.

Local planning officials and councillors will continue to decide individual planning applications.

Their decisions, though, will be guided by the City Plan. And at this stage it seems safe to say that it points towards a growing number of

R

esidents, community groups and campaigners came together recently to celebrate the launch of the new Lewes Road scheme. Before the changes, the majority of those using the road were travelling by bus, bike or foot. However the road didn’t help these thousands of residents travel smoothly, and in many cases not very safely either.

BALANCE Councillor Phélim Mac Cafferty, chairman of the council’s Planning

Many city businesses and organisations are on this vital route, including our football club and two universities. Most of them are growing, the only way they can get growing numbers of staff, visitors, students and fans up and down the route is by sustainable transport.

So we’ve just finished part of a scheme to help the majority who travel on the Lewes Road by bus, bike or on foot get about quicker and more safely. The majority of the cost of the scheme was awarded to us from the government’s Local Sustainable Transport Fund, which is aimed at creating growth and reducing carbon emissions.

the big issue Committee, said: “We must achieve a balance between providing desperately needed new homes and the right amount of space for jobs, while protecting our rich heritage of buildings and open spaces from inappropriate development.”

He said that the 11,300 homes being proposed would make the best use of available land with “94 per cent of it on brownfield sites”.

He said that the number of new homes was “the highest we can go before we see a significant loss of employment sites and important open spaces”. He said that he did not want housing to replace so many shops, offices, warehouses

and factories that Brighton and Hove lacked jobs and became a dormitory town for commuters to Gatwick and London.

Much of the new housing will be concentrated in eight named areas: • Lewes Road including Preston Barracks and the old Falmer High School site • Brighton Marina, the gas works and Black Rock area • New England Quarter and London Road area including Preston Road • Eastern Road and Edward Street area • Hove Station area • Toads Hole Valley • Shoreham Harbour • King Alfred site

While there will be some initial disruption now that much of the scheme is in place, the better reliability of buses and increased safety of other modes of transport

will mean that more residents will be able to choose them to get to work, school or town rather than car. This will reduce congestion and improve air quality on the road. The scheme is similar to the one introduced on the A259 coastal road a few years ago, which has seen a reduction in general traffic of around 10%, and an increase in bus patronage of approximately 25%.

The Lewes Road is one of the major schemes that will make our streets safer for everyone, and help our city continue to grow for years to come.

taller buildings. The council hopes to keep these confined to a limited number of places, such as the Marina and the New England Quarter and London Road. Not every developer sees things the same way.

The inspector has written to the council setting out some of the matters that will help her to decide whether the City Plan is sound. She said: “Is the range of 16,000 to 20,000 an accurate reflection of the full, objectively assessed need for housing? If so, the City Plan’s housing target of 11,300 new homes, albeit expressed as a minimum, is a significant shortfall against assessed need.”

If meeting this need would do more harm than good in a town with beautiful Regency squares and terraces and a thriving tourist trade, the housing shortfall may be justifiable. The inspector has questioned the protection being given to green land on the edge of town – or “urban fringe” sites. The council hopes that offering up Toads Hole Valley in Hove for at least 700 homes will be enough.

A clarion call

C

“How do we deal with the rise in housing demand over the next 17 years?”

The planning inspector has also written to the council to ask whether it has given enough thought to the need for “infrastructure requirements”. She is not the first to touch on a subject that covers the debate about school places in parts of Brighton and Hove or whether there are enough doctors’ or dentists’ surgeries.

She also asked: “Do the City Plan’s policies and proposals adequately address the needs of all employment-generating sectors of the economy? Is there appropriate flexibility in the policies and proposals? Is the protection of the specified primary industrial estates and business parks fully justified?

Is it reasonable to require no net loss of employment floor space in mixed-use developments?”

CHALLENGE Councillor Mac Cafferty said: “The law requires that the plan has to start with the premise that we’re going to develop and we’re in favour of sustainable development. It also has to answer questions like: ‘How do we deal with the rise in housing demand over the next 17 years? How do we make sure we can provide space to create jobs for the people who live here? And enough places in schools?

It’s a fine balance.’”

Representatives of the three political parties on the council – the Greens, Conservatives and Labour – found a great deal of common ground as the plan was prepared. Councillor Mac Cafferty said: “The only area of real difference was housing. We all want inward investment and the

growth of the local economy.”

But the City Plan does face a challenge from more than one direction.

About a dozen organisations have submitted criticisms of the plan. They are likely to take part in the examination in public which starts at the Brighthelm Centre in North Road, Brighton, on Tuesday 22 October. Many of their objections to the plan are focused on sites that they own or in which they have an interest. Some want greater density or height enshrined in the plan so that they can build more homes on their plots.

Some are concerned about the high environmental standards being required for new buildings in Brighton and Hove. Meeting these standards, they say, adds to their costs and could mean that it is no longer viable to invest in housing projects locally.

The council has commissioned a report making its case. Unsurprisingly, with a Green administration, it has been keen to achieve the highest levels of sustainability.

Some people will use the City Plan to guide their ambitions to build homes, shops or offices. Some will use it to help them frame objections to new proposals. And others will engage when officials consult the public and professionals about the City Plan Part Two, which has more detail about specific sites. If it’s to turn out all right, then we shouldn’t need an inspector to call to appreciate that we are all responsible one way or another.

The examination in public is expected to be completed on or by Friday 25 October. ■

ouncillor Phélim Mac Cafferty has written the foreword to the City Plan which sets out what sort of buildings will be permitted where between now and 2030.

He wrote: “The plan is as ambitious as it is robust and practical. “Despite the difficult economic circumstances we currently face, the plan is a clarion call for the resilience of the local economy. It sets out a clear framework for future prosperity for our city’s communities, and endorses our optimism about securing jobs, training and apprenticeships while underlining our continued support for home-grown business in sectors such as the creative, digital and IT industries.

“Sustainability principles are integrated throughout the plan.

As a strategic document, it affords us many opportunities for carbon reduction as we look confidently to the future with policies that reflect our respect for our planet and its resources.

We aspire to high-quality modern design and thoroughly fundamentally sustainable building practices.

“Our city’s motto describing the relationship with the natural environment around us is particularly apt: ‘Between the Downs and the sea we flourish.’

And through the life of the plan we can continue to flourish between the Downs and the sea if we understand our symbiotic relationship with our planet.

“Talking to residents, businesses and our many communities across the city has highlighted the many challenges that lie ahead. This vital input has helped to shape and improve the City Plan.

“Our focus now must be on achieving a balance between providing desperately needed new homes and the right amount of space for jobs while protecting our rich heritage of buildings and open spaces from inappropriate development.

“Our hope for this city, our responsibility for its future prosperity and our ambition to sustain its unique, finite environment drives us to prepare a plan which I strongly believe will carry us on a safe journey to 2030.”

The way humans hunt for parking And the way animals hunt for food Are not as different as you might think.

– Tom Vanderbilt

first met Chrissie of Curve Couture when I modelled for her at Brighton Fashion Week, back when Brighton Fashion Week was just one show called Brighton Frocks. So this year I was thrilled to see that Chrissie was showcasing on the enormous runway at St Bartholomew’s for BFW 2013. The designers showcased were a mixed bag, and I wasn’t necessarily impressed with everything I saw. But I noticed that Curve Couture had caught, not only my attention, but the entire crowd.

Corsetry is such a striking statement that it generally turns heads whether it’s good or bad. However, there’s a gaze that is drawn from excellent corsetry that you simply don’t get from every flimsy, plastic-boned ‘corset’ that you pick up on the high street, that will lose its shape after two outings and really shouldn’t be allowed to call itself a corset because it is, in fact, a basque.

The name of the new collection is Countryphile, and since I have now returned to my roots and am myself a countryphile once again, I can fully appreciate the romance and seductive eccentricities of the English countryside and those who ride it. Bareback. Naked. In the rain. In Hunter wellies. With a flask of damson gin. I’m sorry, where were we?

These corsets take a traditional Edwardian cut in lace and leather (my favourite combination), and combine it with sharp tailoring reminiscent of Hermes fall 2004, if somewhat saucier. But if you’re thinking that a corset is just for the female form, think again. Chrissie presented two male models in corsets, which drew a communal exclamation from the crowd. Far from looking camp or feminine, these boys projected steely, hard power and an appealing, erotic confidence that dismissed any questions of sexuality, whilst retaining it entirely. Chrissie explains that, “when you wear a corset you feel like you’re wearing armour.” And it was an armoured impression that I drew from the young models, both male and female, before me.

I find myself in my element at present. Autumn in the English countryside is my natural habitat. The melting, weakening sunlight takes on a dozy glow at this time of year. Wriggling things burrow into warm, damp earth that gives off a nostalgic fragrance so rich and natural, whilst being entirely fresh. Tweed and leather both have their own scent – wool, horses, wood smoke – that ferments with the rotting forest floor, and we wrap up warm. We armour ourselves. We strap ourselves in to keep from crumbling into the decay and sleeping there ‘til spring.

To this armour, these straps, we add a touch of lace, or silk, or velvet; a nod to the richness of the season, and the beauty we “Corsetry is such can bring to the bleakest winter days. And as the a striking statement countryside gives itself back to itself, we can feel that it generally turns peaceful in the knowledge heads whether it’s that none of its bounty will be wasted, but rather slip good or bad” back into the earth, to return next year.

Curve Couture’s Countryphile collection embodies this essence in my mind, and that’s what I love about style; when you can express the complexity, whimsy, sensuality and idiosyncrasies of a thing like the English countryside in autumn, in something as simple as what you wear, you can live stories.

I’m delighted to see this artist’s work reach new standards of excellence.

This latest collection, in my humble opinion, makes Curve Couture the South East’s top corset designer-maker. www.curvecouture.co.uk

thought when I learned how to manipulate a car in busy traffic without killing my passengers or myself, I had mastered the art of driving. Little did I know that the biggest challenge and the worst nightmare of driving life is finding a place to park the car.

The problem is not just finding a space; it is getting the car into it.

The first time I attempted to parallel park, I managed to smash eight fenders in less than three minutes: all four on my car, two on the car in front and two on the car behind. It is not just that I have no spatial judgment; it is that there isn’t enough space on a city street for all the cars that want to park there.

The supply is so far “The first time I attempted below the demand that to parallel park, I managed cities throughout the world are making a to smash eight fenders” fortune on the fines they give for illegal parking, not to mention the cost of parking legally. Whether you break the law or not, you are going to break the bank if you want to park your car anywhere near where you planned to go.

The good news is that a Korean company has managed to solve the problem for us all.

Watch Lynn Ruth Miller at They have invented a folding car they call the Armadillo –T. The vehicle is tiny to begin with and once stopped can be folded to one-third its size with a smart phone.

Think of it! You drive to the supermarket, tuck your car in a little corner and off you go to do your shopping. The car is so small that if you can bench-press 50 pounds you can fold it up and stow it in the garage when you get home, with plenty of room left over to keep spare furniture, appliances and naughty children. The advantages of such a tiny little automobile boggle the mind. When it snows, you can lift the vehicle out of that snowdrift without bothering to hire a tow truck and if the roads are too icy, strap the car to your back and walk it home.

Packing passengers and parcels into a tiny car does present problems but if you have a basket on the roof and a few strategically placed bungee cords you can manage quite nicely. There is a downside to all this. Cities will lose thousands of pounds in traffic tickets and meter fees if three cars can fit into one parking space. There goes all the money used to pay meter maids and city workers.

The other challenge the tiny car presents is cramming a tall human being behind its wheel. The Armadillo-T is so small that anyone over six feet would be better served to pay a pound and rent a bicycle.

Necessity is indeed the mother of invention, isn’t it? Now that we have a folding car, what next? Perhaps a highway we can roll up and put in the boot if it gets too crowded, or, even more efficient, motorized boots so we can speed to our destination on our own two feet.

ARTISTIC SURPRISE

O

ur favourite graffiti artist Banksy is currently across the pond, transforming the streets of New York with a month-long residency of whacky art stunts and murals popping up all over the city. From a New York delivery truck converted into a mobile garden (including a rainbow, waterfall and butterflies) to a one-off stall in Central Park selling authentic, signed canvases of his work (unbeknown to passers-by), this elusive artist, who has never confirmed his identity, is clearly making his presence known.

Now’s the time to pay a visit the Big Apple and check into the Nyma!

THE SPECIAL ONE

Local painter Robert Burns has taken up the title of Brighton’s ‘Da Vinci’ after painting pictures of celebrities in his trademark Renaissance style.

Burns has re-imagined the likes of Russell Brand and José Mourinho as religious figures and renaissance stars. Talking to the local paper recently he explained: “I get inspired when I see a celebrity offering themselves in a Renaissance pose. I don’t follow football but when I found out José Mourinho calls himself ‘The Special One’ I knew I had to do him next. He is photogenic. There was this photograph and I thought ‘he looks just like the Salvator Mundi photo.

Salvator Mundi means saviour of the world – I think it suits him very well.”

We’re inclined to agree.

PETER’S NEW SMELL

Stop press – local lad Peter Andre has launched two brand new fragrances for the modern lady: Forever and Forever Young. The scents, bottled in delightful shades of pink, were debuted as part of a UK press tour which saw Pete visit the glamorous towns of Watford, Stoke, Leeds, York, Derby, Northampton, Portsmouth and Camberley. Though we didn’t have Pete down as ‘Le Nez’ of Brighton, he certainly could do with sweetening the air a bit after ex-wife Katie Price’s recent revelations. The Brighton-born glamour-model/ business woman spoke scathingly of Andre (though perhaps he should count his lucky stars he’s not the ‘disturbing’ Alex Reid) saying she never wanted to get back with him after their split, contrary to popular opinion! Perhaps worse than this, however, the Pricey also let the cat out of the bag with regards to Pete’s shortcomings; apparently the ‘Mysterious Girl’ singer took to stuffing his shoes full of tissue in order to measure up against his ex-wife! We assume he won’t be sending her a bottle of ‘Forever’ this Christmas...

BRIGHTON WRITES

Andrew Kay

Sponsored by Bardsley’s Fish & Chips

Hollywood by the sea I

find it most entertaining that one event reestablishes Brighton and Hove as Britain’s Hollywood. Okay, the city is permanently overrun with film crews, making ads, films and TV series and although it’s fun to see the city on the big screen, few of them are truly satisfying, especially those who refuse to get the geography of our city right No, for me it’s the bi-annual Oska Bright Film Festival that truly establishes us as a centre of filmic excellence.

For curators Becky Bruzas and Jason Eade, who select films to include in the Oska Bright Film Festival, it brings joy and pain in equal measure.

Oska Bright is the world’s first and only festival of short films made by people with learning disabilities that is produced, managed and presented by a learning disabled team.

2013 is the sixth edition of this biennial festival and it looks set to be the biggest and most extraordinary yet with more entries than ever before from more countries. In total, 57 films from the UK, Australia, Belgium, Ireland, Germany and Canada are being shown.

The decision making process for the team can be a fraught process. Becky says: “We have long and often rather lively discussions about the content, production values and audience appeal of

“The Oska Bright Film Festival gives people with learning disabilities a chance to show what is important in their lives – their hopes and their fears” the submitted films. The festival runs for three days with different categories of films, screened in timed sessions. This year we had several films with adult content, so we have put these into an evening slot.”

“It is important that people can choose the sort of films they want to see” adds Jason. “We also have Films That Make Us Laugh, Films About People and Spooky Films.”

Oska Bright is not just about getting the work of these often overlooked artists into the public eye. It promotes a completely inclusive approach to the arts. There are opportunities for networking, for seeing the latest digital art and for participation. The “Oskas” are made by Andy Kee, who is a tireless advocate for artists and makers with learning disabilities. “The festival gives people with learning disabilities a chance to show what is important in their lives – their hopes and their fears.”

The Festival culminates in an awards ceremony with winners announced on the spot by guests from the film industry, parliament and the arts. It’s a great event which I know from first hand experience when I was privileged enough to be asked to present one of the awards. That was certainly a night to remember, the pure joy and creativity gathered in one room, a room full of people who, rather than talking about doing something, get off their backsides and do it. Three cheers for that!

Oska Bright celebrates the artistic achievements of people with learning disabilities and proudly demonstrates the independence and creativity of this community. Now, perhaps more than ever, this festival is of value to society – bringing people in, from ‘out there’.

The whole things is also open to the public and I can heartily recommend getting down to the Corn Exchange to enjoy the rich and diverse programme of short films that will have you both laughing and crying but above all amazed it the wealth of international and local talent.

Oska Bright Film Festival, Corn Exchange, Brighton Dome, Church Street, Brighton Sunday 17 November–Tuesday 19 November Tickets £12 festival pass or £3 per screening session. See www.oskabright.co.uk for full schedule, venue information and tickets.

MUSICAL MADNESS Inspired by the music of Madness, the Olivier Award-winning musical Our House visits Theatre Royal Brighton

I

t’s Joe Casey’s 16th birthday and tonight he’s treating his girlfriend Sarah to an evening in a brand new luxury apartment. There’s just one problem: he has to break in! When the police turn up Joe has to decide – run away, or face the music – a choice that will change the course of his life, and his love, forever.

This raucous musical comedy is an uplifting tale of life and love, heartbreak and hilarity set in London’s famous Camden Town in the mid-80’s, and featuring the greatest hits from the mighty Madness back

Sophie Byrne and Nicole Bryan, with additional musicians Joey Hickman, Al Twist and Adam Longstaff.

Madness are one of the most successful British bands of the last five decades, having released ten studio albums, three live albums and nine compilation albums since their formation in 1976. In the 1980’s Madness spent 214 weeks in the UK singles charts, sharing the record with UB40 for the most weeks spent by a group in the UK Singles Charts throughout the decade.

More recently Madness have given several iconic performances; at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee concert from the roof of Buckingham Palace, at the Closing Ceremony of the London Olympic Games, and outside the BBC Television Centre in a live broadcast for BBC Four to mark the

11

closure of the building. Over 30 years after its release, Madness are still perhaps best known for their international hit ‘Our House’, which won an Ivor Novello Award.

Our House is written by Tim Firth, whose work includes the recordbreaking film Calendar Girls starring Helen Mirren and Julie Walters, which he later adapted for the stage, and the 2005 film Kinky Boots, now a Tony Award-winning Broadway musical. You’d be mad to miss this fantastic musical!

Our House, Theatre Royal Brighton, Monday 4–Saturday 9 November 2013, 7.45pm Tues–Thurs, 5.30pm and 8.30pm Frisday, 2.30pm and 7.45pm Saturday, www.atgtickets.com/brighton* 0844 871 7650* Tickets £10–£27 (*bkg fee)

catalogue including ‘Our House’, ‘Baggy Trousers’, ‘My Girl’, ‘Driving In My Car’, ‘The Wings Of A Dove’, ‘Night Boat To Cairo’ and the all-time classic ‘It Must Be Love’.

The actor-musician cast features Alexis Gerred as Joe Casey, Daniella Bowen as Sarah, Sean Needham as Joe’s Dad, Rebecca Bainbridge as Kath Casey, Alex Spinney as Lewis, James Haggie as Emmo, Dominique Planter as Angie, Lloyd Gorman as Reecey and Steve Dorsett as Mr Pressman.

12 L7 INTERVIEW

BOYWONDER

Ender’s Game young star Asa Butterfield talks to Holly Cozens about A-Levels, zero gravity and working with science fiction icon Harrison Ford Had you read the book Ender’s Game before you signed on?

“Yeah. I’m a huge fan of science fiction, I’d read the book. I loved it.”

Did you find it hard to get into the mindset of Ender?

“In a way, because it’s set 50-odd years in the future there isn’t really any way of knowing what these children have been through, one thing I have got going for me is that, being a young actor, there is a sense of pressure on my shoulders to be this... star, in a way. But it's the same essence in that, even though it's a much larger scale, Ender has the planet’s fate on his shoulders, in comparison, I have my career on my shoulders.”

I imagine Gavin Hood was a great director to go to for notes?

“Definitely. I haven’t worked with a director like Gavin since or before then. He wrote the screenplay and so he knows it inside and out.

He knows every single scene, he knows exactly what he wants, he knew exactly what he was going for, and because of that, it allowed us to experiment more because we knew what he wanted.”

Gavin put you through your paces by making you guys do boot camp...

“Yes, it was needed, because prior to that, we had it pretty easy. We had to learn how to march, how to salute, the correct cadences. And then we had the boot camp for wire work where we learnt how to simulate zero gravity and make it look realistic.

Then I had the accent to worry about, I had my lines and my dialogue. I had to make sure my arms were always floating, my legs were always floating, I wasn’t allowed to bend at the waist, which is where we were attached, it was a nightmare.

But we had a lot of fun up there.

It was hard, but we did it.”

How did you feel seeing the outcome after so much green screen?

“It was amazing. When you’re there you can never really know what it’s gonna look like in the end with any film, especially when there is so much CGI and so much green screen. We saw what they call ‘pre-vis’ so we had an idea of

what they wanted it to look like but it can never compare to the final product.”

What was your favourite scene to film?

“The battle room scenes were a lot of fun. I’d never done anything like it, and I’m sure I’ll never do anything like it again. It’s definitely up there.

I think the whole experience was so amazing and life-changing – the things I learnt, the people I met... it’s so hard to pick one thing.”

“Ender has the planet’s fate on his shoulders, in comparison, I have my career on my shoulders”

I was a bit nervous before meeting him, but... yeah, once I got to know him, it was amazing.

He’s such a great guy and such an amazing actor.

He really brought the best out of us, especially the young actors. Once you get over the fact that he’s Han Solo [laughs].”

Have you got any favourite sci-fi films?

“Um, Star Wars is definitely up there. That’s half the reason I was so amazed I was working with Harrison Ford. I love science fiction films and books. The Matrix, the original one, is probably my favourite science fiction film of all time.”

Did you speak to Harrison about Star Wars?

“No, I don’t think anyone had the balls to talk to him about anything other than Ender’s Game, really. [laughs] Because I mean, we’re professionals, we were all having so much fun, but at the same time, you’ve got to be professional on set.”

You’ve had some incredible opportunities so early in your career with the people you've worked with: Sir Ben Kingsley twice now, Martin Scorsese... do you ever stop and think about those opportunities?

“Yeah. I do. I often find myself pinching myself.

Even now it’s surreal how fortunate I've been. At such a young age to have had the opportunities I’ve had. I’m so lucky, and I love it. When I was little I never wanted to be an actor, it wasn’t something I strove towards. I think I always wanted to be an archaeologist, dig up some dinosaurs and name one after myself. In the last few years I have had amazing experiences and it really makes you appreciate the things you do and, especially Hugo, it made me appreciate cinema and acting, its roots. It wasn't until Hugo that I realised this was something I could do for the rest of my life.”

Have you chosen your next project?

“I’ve got a few things in the pipe-line. Fingers crossed they’ll kick off either at the end of this year or the start of next year. I’m doing my A-Levels at the moment so pretty much all my focus is on that.”

When did you know Harrison Ford was onboard?

“I remember them talking about it and saying they were talking to him, but I can’t remember the first time I heard he was onboard. I can remember the first time I met him, which was at the readthrough for the script in New Orleans. As anyone would be,

Is there any other profession that, other than acting, you would choose?

“If I wasn’t acting, if there were an area I would go into, it would be something to do with the environment. Maybe some sort of geography.

I haven’t really thought about it that hard, if I’m honest. We’ll see... fingers crossed I can carry on acting.”

What do you study?

“I’m doing Biology, Geography, Film Studies and Photography. It’s quite a wide range.”

It must be quite intimidating to be your Film Studies teacher...

“He did say that [laughs], not quite in those words, but, he did. He pre-hinted that I was gonna be doing a lot of teaching. And I was like: [mock-arrogant tone] ‘Yeah cool...I can share my knowledge, I don’t know why I wouldn't’. Yeah, I’m looking forward to that, it’ll give me a different view into it. Because I find as actors, you look on the film industry and it’s hard not to look at it from one angle. So doing Film Studies has made me look all the way around it, really.”

Ender’s Game is out on Friday 25 October nationwide. Don’t forget to follow @latestholly

PANTOMIMES & CHRISTMAS SHOWS

CURTAIN UP, LIGHT THE LIGHTS...

Andrew Kay on the pure yuletide joy of a festive theatre trip

N

othing says Christmas more to me than a festive trip to the theatre. My grandparents took me to see a panto at Liverpool’s beautiful Empire Theatre when I was a small boy, Tommy Steele in Mother Goose, and the memory has stayed with me ever since. Pantomime was a huge part of my childhood and the bedrock in many ways of my love of theatre.

I love the atmosphere of a festively full theatre, an audience of all ages bristling with excitement and anticipation, the magic of a deep red velvet curtain masking the fun that lies beyond, the thrill of a fanfare as the band strikes up the overture and the gasp as the first set is revealed.

I cannot resist the traditions, the audience shouting out “It’s behind you” and “Oh, no it isn’t”.

I like the silly audience songs, the songsheet and the sweeties, and even the most miserable cannot help but be carried along on a wave of seasonal silliness and fun. Pantomimes rock and here in Sussex we have some of the finest example to be found on the British stage.

Pantomimes are classics, worthy of being on any stage and as important in theatrical history

as the great tragedies and comedies. And if that is a good thing. Offerings form the West End, anyone thinks that they are outdated then think huge servings of yuletide nostalgia and comedy all again. The format might go back more than a few have their place on the Christmas stage and I for generations but the artistry required certainly one enjoy these as much as I love panto. I love the benefits from the newer technologies that can glitter and gaudy opulence of a West End show, I make the magic really happen: magic carpet adore the Christmas hits, the songs that we all rides, ghosts and transformations, evil witches in know so well and can easily sing along to. mirrors... that said, I can The traditional panto may equally get excited at the site still be my great love, but over of a Shetland pony pulling a years I have come more “Christmas is a time the crystal carriage and there is and more to love the newer still something delightful forms of Christmas for families and fun about a chorus of talented entertainment. I’m happy to and what better to children from a local theatre see either, and often see both, school giving their all. and luckily here in Sussex we We are also privileged to get pull all of those have both, great pantomimes a great many superb Christmas and superb Christmas shows shows, seasonal alternatives to things together than to suit all tastes. the traditional that will satisfy I can’t wait to get out there a trip to the theatre?” those of you who feel that you again to cheer and boo and are too old for panto, although hiss along with the rest of I’m sorry if you are. Christmas shows offer a you. Christmas is a time for families and fun and different kind of fun, they can be more adult, what better to pull all of those things together bawdier and rowdier too, but no less thrilling and than a trip to the theatre?

Worthing Theatres Gardening guru Charlie Dimmock leads the cast of Jack And The Beanstalk at Worthing’s Connaught Theatre (6 December 2013– 4 January 2014) where she is joined by Heart Breakfast presenters Tom and Jack to tell the traditional pantomime story of a boy who sells his family cow for beans. As the giant beanstalk stretches into the skies Charlie, as Fairy Organic, must battle the giant Blunderbore and his evil sidekick Fleshcreep. There will also be traditional ghost gags and plenty of sing-along songs when dotty Dame Trott, Daisy the Cow, Simple Simon and Princess Amelia invite audiences to join in with their yuletide frolics.

Meanwhile Christmas could be cancelled if Claire Sweeney as the wicked Ice Queen gets her wish in the dazzling production of Santa Claus – The Musical at Worthing’s Pavilion Theatre (11 December 2013–5 January 2014). Packed with beloved Christmas classics including ‘Jingle Bell Rock’ and ‘Rudolph The Rednosed Reindeer’, the feel-good show transforms the theatre into the North Pole where Rudolph and his reindeer friends live in a winter wonderland alongside Santa, Jack Frost and a cast of dancing penguins, polar bears and singing crows.

Imaginations are required to tell the story of Pinocchio at TOM this Christmas. All the tools of a carpenter’s workshop come alive to tell the original story; Pinocchio will be intricately carved from a log, brushes will become a fox and two saws will transform into one giant fish. That is, if your imagination will let them!

Award-winning company Indefinite Articles collaborate with the acclaimed Scamp Theatre for a five-day run at TOM (The Old Market) around New Year’s Day. Indefinite Articles’ work focuses on turning the commonplace into something extraordinary. Company founder Sally Brown hopes that young audiences will leave Pinocchio thinking ‘I can do that’.

“Children’s entertainment is often too defined, leaving no space for the child’s own imagination,” says Sally. “There is another way of telling a story; in our version, we use familiar objects in an unfamiliar form, allowing for a creative relationship between the performer and audience.”

Indefinite Articles’ delightfully inventive show has been enjoyed worldwide – from Edinburgh to New York, and even at London’s National Theatre – but each performance is unique so expect something entirely new this December in Hove.

Bring your imaginations. Leave with whole worlds of magical possibility.

BRIGHTON DOME

S S E R EXP

F L E S R U YO

Out Of The Shadow, the award-winning dance show, comes to Brighton Dome

“D

ance to express, not to impress” is the mission of Austrian dance company Nobulus, who will be bringing their show Out Of The Shadow to Brighton Dome on Tuesday 29 and Wednesday 30 October. The high energy, gripping performance unravels over three acts, each one delving into a different stage of evolution, from the creation of the universe through to the struggles of the current day and a view of the world in an apocalyptic future.

Using only their bodies, the 10strong crew create otherworldly scenes by morphing primal images of sacrifice and betrayal, of love and pleasure, death and destruction to an epic soundtrack. The ‘Shadows’ clothed in black are androgynous, and use a highly physical language that that enables them to create mercurial structures, machines and animals.

The show was conceived and choreographed by Alexander Wengler, who started to dance at the age of five and took his first inspiration from

Michael Jackson. Since 1999, he has developed his own style and skills through working with various hip-hop dance styles and choreographers.

“When we started making Out Of The Shadow we had no resources, no money. So we couldn’t build a set, we had to do that with our bodies,” Alexander explains. “Originally I had a

dream of building a set when we were able to do a bigger production. When I got to that point and we were making a full-length version I realised that if I added a set it would take away so much from the show it would change it completely. I decided that the strength was with us using our bodies.”

But what inspired Wengler to make a piece that comments on the world in this way and how we as individuals can change it? “If you want to make a change and make it in real life you have to ask the question, ‘how do I do that?’ It is a process. In the production this is what I’m presenting, the idea that the internal struggle exists for us all individually but we have some collective responsibility for how we make positive changes to help the planet and create a peaceful existence for all. I really believe that it is our generation who will have to deal with the impact of our lifestyles in order to change the future for the better.”

23

Fusing an impressive array of breaking, popping, locking, NuStyle and house alongside contemporary, classical and experimental dance forms, Nobulus’ work sees all these dance styles merge with the dancers’ bodies to create something new. The company includes some of the most talented dancers from across Europe with an impressive array of experience between them including appearances in film, commercials and even a Robbie Williams video.

Out Of The Shadow was first performed as a seven-minute showcase at the international hip-hop event Battle of the Year in Germany in 2006. A 20-minute version was presented at Breakin’ Convention in London in 2007 and four years of creative development later, a fulllength version of the work was premiered and toured across Austria.

Out Of The Shadow will tour the UK for the first time and audiences in Brighton will have a chance to see this impressive show which critics have called jaw dropping and mesmerising.

Out Of The Shadow, Tuesday 29–Wednesday 30 October 2013, Concert Hall, Brighton Dome, £10–£18.50, under 16s half price, 01273 709709, www.brightondome.org

More fun facts you didn’t know about fantabulous Hove

1

Everyone knows the famous superstition concerning the ravens of the Tower of London, but there is a lesser-known prophecy that states that if the charity shops ever leave George Street the entire city will fall into the sea.

2

In 1928 the Hove Park Café became the first establishment in Great Britain to offer customers salted caramel ice cream.

Unfortunately this resulted in its being burned down by an angry mob shortly afterwards who claimed that the new flavour was “against nature” and “godless.”

3

Hove’s reputation as Brighton’s dowdier, more stodgy cousin would seem to be undeserved; a recent survey has revealed that it is the twerking capital of Europe.

4

Rave anthems recorded in Hove include 808 State’s ‘In Yer Face’, Urban Shakedown’s ‘Some Justice’, and SL2’s ‘Way In My Brain’.

EAST SUSSEX “TALES OF THE GOLD MONKEY” CONVENTION Believe it or not this is the first ever British convention dedicated to the much-loved 1982 Raiders Of The Lost Ark rip-off. Featuring personal appearances by Stephen Collins (Jake Cutter), Caitlin O'Heaney (Sarah Stickney White), and the great great grandson of Dougie (Jack the Jack Russell terrier), a screening of “lost” episode ‘Down Amongst the Dead Men’, and lots and lots of middle-aged men of dubious personal hygiene with beards, bunches of keys jangling on their bels and an interest in real ale.

Hove has issued several “fatwahs” over the ages, against those it views as being contemptuous of, or a danger to, its existence. Notable people who have had a fatwa issued against them include television presenter Henry Kelly, Dutch eurodance act 2 Unlimited, and fictional Happy Days character Ralph Malph.

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD & DRINK

Food & Drink Andrew Kay travels to Marylebone Lane in London to sample the food at Verru

Read herring M

uch as I love Brighton and Hove’s fecund foodie scene I find the need to travel further afield to find out what else is happening in the gastronomic world. So when the opportunity arose to meet up with Mrs Salad and the lovely Mr L I jumped on it. Salad and I would have to travel up to The Smoke but Mr L works there so we left the booking arrangements to him.

Now this can be a dangerous path as Mr L has notoriously expensive tastes, dressing entirely in designer labels and even buying lavatory paper from Prada – I exaggerate of course, well about the loo rolls.

Duly he emailed details of our meeting, 6.30pm at Verru in Marylebone Lane. I took a bus from Victoria to Marble Arch and walked the rest of the way, arriving a little early. Inside Verru is rather nice but not earth-shatteringly designed, which in a world where restaurants interiors can be somewhat OTT came as a relief. I sat down and waited with a glass of sparkling water and a menu. It was then that I realised Mr L had cunningly booked the table in time for us to take advantage of their early evening set price menu at £17.95 for two courses.

I guess in the West End that may be par for the courses, did you see what I did there?

Mrs Salad arrived next closely followed by Mr L, and pretty soon he had selected a bottle of great wine at £30, so any sense of being economical was fast shot out the window, especially as I know only too well that one bottle would never be enough. It was however delicious wine, Gruner Veltliner Hochterrassen from Austria, and worth every last penny, which I needed to know as we finished a third bottle.

27

So on to the food. Mrs S and Mr L both started with prawns and chorizo. It was such a beautifully presented dish but they both assured me that it was more than that, truly delicious and by no means skimpy, a common fault on set menus at bargain prices where chefs have been instructed to trim the dish to improve the margin.

Not here, clearly they are aware that if they impress with a set price, a customer is likely to return and try the a la carte.

I spotted herring on the menu and I love them so that was an obvious choice for me, and I was not to be disappointed. The fish was superb, plump soused chunks in a unctuous dressing. The accompanying potato salad was the very best I have ever had, I really mean that, and the purée of beetroot was almost equal in stature. One course in and I was already impressed. Equally impressive was the slick but friendly service.

Main courses continued to impress. Mrs S chose the sea bass and loved it, once again it was generous and beautifully presented.

Mr L and I both went for the Goosnargh duck breast. Knowing this is about as good as duck breast gets it was an obvious choice and one that silenced us for a few moments. Perfect slices of pink duck, packed with flavour but tender to the teeth on a bed of tiny, and I mean tiny, florets of cauliflower, broccoli and nibs of fresh sweetcorn. It has a hint of Asia but nothing so vulgar that one would be tempted to utter the abhorrent ‘fusion’ word. I wanted it to go on forever but sadly it did not. Between us we ordered a bowl of chips, a great idea as they were exceptionally good, and a dish of spinach with nutmeg which was superb.

By this point we had finished the second bottle after our 20-year catch up and any idea of restraint was out of the question. Mr L launched into a rhubarb crumble, deconstructed, with a rhubarb panacotta which he loved. Mrs S and I shared a platter of excellent cheese over which she presented us with half a dozen eggs from her hens, what a treat. And yes we did have another bottle of wine, and yes, what should have been and in fact was a very reasonable bill for such great cooking, was hoiked up by £90. That said, we certainly left satisfied on every level, great food and wine and excellent company. I highly recommend Verru and advise caution with the wine.

ou can get three comedians for the price of one at countless comedy nights up and down this fair isle, but to see this standard of comedy within those confines is an incredibly rare thing. It’s been 16 years since the Canadian trio last toured together, and their distinctive styles of stand-up still create a show which really has something for everybody – Francis’ impeccable one-liners, Campbell’s warm, energetic ramblings, and Wool’s melting pot of anger and acerbic wit strangely complement each other well and ensure the show has a refreshing variety. As Francis said in the show’s introduction, if you don’t like any of them, it’s you... not them.

BRIGHTON ACOUSTIC GUITAR FESTIVAL

While ‘Festival’ might have been a somewhat overly grand title for this extended showcase of acoustic guitarists of the ‘percussive’ bent, there was certainly an intimate, family feel to The Brunswick. Headline act Chris Woods aside, the performers were all in a state of development, with songs, lyrics, stage persona or performance lacking at some point.

That these issues mattered little to the rather fluid crowd was testament to the atmosphere created in the room by organiser and performer Brian McNamara. Next year some of these players will return, and they’ll set the stage alight.

Led by comedians Paul Flannery and Tom Bell as our new host Tregard and the evil Lord Fear, tongue-in-cheek asides and knowing self-reference was sometimes hilarious. Combined with panto-style audience participation, this made for an entertaining evening of knowing nostalgia.

WHAT’S ON STAGE

STAGE: HA HA HOLMES! AND THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES Joe Pasquale is Holmes at Theatre Royal Brighton

C

omedian and national treasure Joe Pasquale serves up his own unique and very individual comedic portrayal of super sleuth Sherlock Holmes in the touring stage production Ha Ha Ha Holmes! And The Hound Of The Baskervilles. We had a word with him to find out more.

What drew you to Ha Ha Holmes!?

“Last year I did a touring production of Doctor In The House produced by Jamie Wilson. He’s been a fan of mine since he was a kid. That was the catalyst for our first meeting. We really hit it off and looked for another project to work on together. Jamie has been putting on Ha Ha! shows for years. But this year he wanted to expand it by putting a name in it. I agreed immediately because the script made me laugh out loud.”

Why were you so eager to take on the role of Sherlock Holmes?

“It’s something so different from me. All the roles I’ve played before have basically been me. The Nerd was very much me. The Producers was me with an American accent.

Doctor In The House was me in a white coat. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead was a layabout version of me. But Sherlock Holmes is a real stretch for me. But I’ve loved it. I’ve especially enjoyed working with Ben Langley, who wrote the play and co-stars as Doctor Watson, and Andrew Fettes, who plays everyone else.”

Why do you think Holmes works as comedy?

The stories lend themselves to comic treatment. The relationship between Holmes and Watson is funny. Holmes is the master criminal hunter and Watson is his apprentice – there is great scope for comedy there. Look at Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes films – there is a lot of humour in them. Robert Downey Jnr is a fantastic comic actor. We’re simply heightening what’s already there. It’s Monty Python meets Men Behaving Badly meets Sherlock Holmes.”

Ha Ha Ha Holmes! And The Hound Of The Baskervilles, Theatre Royal Brighton, 31 October 2013, £18–24, 7.45pm 0844 871 7650, www.atgtickets.com/shows/ha-haholmes/theatre-royal-brighton

Could you please outline the plot of Ha Ha Holmes!...

“In theory, Holmes is trying to find The Hound of the Baskervilles on the moors. There is a very long, involved story about a curse on a family, but ultimately that is pointless. It’s all about the deduction. It’s a really innovative, really funny play about Holmes’s methods of solving crimes, and audiences will love getting wrapped up in it.”

TOTALLY COMPREHENSIVE!

TRANSGENDER SEEKING...

In this UK premiere, and in association with the Study of Sexual Dissidence at University of Sussex and Pink Fringe, is this one-person show from Australian Sunny Drake.

Jimmy is trying to quit romance so he’ll never get hurt again. Since the break-up, he’s been trying to prove that he’s “Great! Fine! Never been better!” But his secret comforts include watching cheesy old black and white romance films – don’t tell his radical friends. Transgender Seeking... is an exposing, funny and tender look at queer relationships including run-ins with the polyamory police, online dating mishaps, and how relationship scripts and bigger political systems like policing and prisons affect

interpersonal relationships in queer communities (and beyond). It is a hilarious confession of a queer romance-a-holic.

30 WHAT’S ON COMEDY&FILM, ART&EVENTS

COMEDY: MICKY FLANAGAN – BACK IN THE GAME Brighton loved the show so much, Mr Flanagan brings it back for a return visit

T

his may seem like deja vu, as it was only five months ago that Micky Flanagan was in town at the same venue with the very same show.

Filled with geezerisms, disarmingly likeable and funny, entrenched in ’70s and ’80s memories and as East End as Bow Bells and Ripper walking tours, Flanagan’s show is a delight come back to town.

If you missed it, the Back In The Game show arrived in early May, possibly lost amongst the maelstrom of the Brighton Festival and Brighton Fringe shows that monopolised every venue and publicity outlet around.

Fortunately it’s back, giving you a second chance to catch the fun. The follow-up to his bestselling DVD and sold out tour Out Out, this latest show builds on its success and popular persona, maintaining a freshness and cheekiness without at any time appearing manufactured.

The Back In The Game DVD is due for release mid November, dressing this real treat of a night out up as reasearch for Christmas present buying. More than likely to be topping the comedy charts amongst the raft of Crimbo releases, stand up comedy is always best experienced live making this likely to be your last chance to catch the show before it’s usurped by next year’s Mickey Flanagan DVD in waiting.

W

ith The Beta Band, Steve Mason, along with Gordon Anderson, released three acclaimed and top 20 albums, before parting ways in 2004. Steve subsequently released music under various monikers including King Biscuit Time and Black Affair before releasing the Boys Outside album in 2009 under his own name. Earlier this year he followed up with the excellent Monkey Minds In The Devil’s Time, a more overtly political album, but still full of carefully crafted and inventive vignettes.

Referring to the album’s title Mason says: “Half of it is a buddhist expression; to have a ‘monkey mind’ is an expression a buddhist would use, a mind that finds it difficult to concentrate and gets easily distracted. ‘The devil’s time’ alludes to the grip that the worldwide establishment is throttling all of us with, things like television, consumer capitalism, advertising, all these objects we are distracted by: Saturday night TV, war, fear... fear is sold to us on a daily basis, distracting us from the real enemy which is, in this country, what I would call the establishment, which is primarily made up of banks, the energy companies, the arms industry...”

Strong words from Mason, but most definitely heartfelt, and a breath of fresh air in a politically stale music scene that, despite all that is going on around us, is by and large throwing its collective hands up in the air in resignation. “I try and follow world affairs – the hard part is finding some semblance of truth, you have to get your news sources from as many places as possible, to get some picture that resembles the truth.

"When I was growing up there was a lot of politics around, almost every scene and every group you were into had some kind of political affiliation, not always overtly like The Redskins, but a lot of these groups had these beliefs that came across in interviews, and they took an interest in things like the miners’ strike. But that completely disappeared. Along with a friend, we started a thing where we are trying to find out what Fife council are proposing with fracking. It's little things that, even though it's just two people meeting Fife Council every now and then. But it's always better to do something rather than nothing at all. Always."

Mason is enjoying a renaissance of sorts, Monkey Minds... being his most successful record since The Beta Band. “I’m lucky to have put out two albums in a row which are good... I had massive support form BBC 6 music, and I've got a great record label and management. I’m in a much better situation now, than I was after the Beta Band. That was a spectacularly dark period! Mentally, I’m as a fit as a fiddle, I can pay all my bills, and put food on the table. I’ve still not had to get a job, I’m still making music..."

WHAT’S ON CLUBS

L7 Bmusic Good music, eight days a week

I

t goes without saying that Brighton has a brilliantly rich music scene, without which Bmusic wouldn’t be in existence. It doesn’t always follow , however, that the gigs over a particular seven day stretch are that strong. Fortunately this week is a true indicator of just why our little coastal city is so brilliant, and why we love being involved in its music scene.

On Monday we had classic British songstress, Alison Moyet, at the Dome, and V V Brown at Coalition. The delightful Miss Brown is currently touring her second album, after a foray into the fashion world following the success of ‘Crying Blood’ and the rest of her first record. We also saw the rather excellent Porcelain Raft upstairs at The Prince Albert, whilst Komedia slowly swayed to the sounds of nu-psychadelic maestros Temples.

The run of great shows continues with Jagwar Ma at The Haunt, who got plaudits galore for their debut album Howlin’, and have spent the summer wowing festival crowds across Europe. Over at The Brighton Centre there is Jake Bugg, still flying from his number one first album/ On Wednesday we’ll be getting the biggest treat, with American chillwave pioneer Washed Out on stage at Concorde 2, backed by a five-piece band. The Haunt will see the most exciting gig of the week, with Lanterns On The Lake bringing their emotive brand of autumnal indie rock to an audience that will have gobbled up their sophomore record, ‘Until The Colours Run’.

If that wasn’t enough, Thursday will see a Veronica Falls gig, while the erudite Mr Nick Cave and his band of Bad Seeds will take the stage at the Dome, in what amounts to a homecoming show of sorts.

It’s an amazing week of music, and confirms what we’ve always known: Brighton is the best city in England, and that music fans like us feel genuinely privileged to live here.

Bmusic have regular open meetings. Please come along and get involved! Check the Facebook page for details: www.facebook.com/Bmusic

SADE ALI GETS READY FOR SUPECHARGED THIS HALLOWEEN

A

s Freshers comes to a close the clubs, pubs and partygoers are making way for one of Brighton’s favourite public holidays: Halloween! This Halloween Supercharged brings you two pioneering legends of jungle and drum ‘n’ bass. With the the curator of Digital Soundboy plus DJ Zinc returning to his roots for a very special jungle set, this is one treat not to miss.

It takes place Saturday 2 November at Concorde 2. The line-up features SHY FX, DJ Zinc (jungle set!) plus Shift K3y & Dagger Sound System.

Shy FX is, without question, one of the original pioneers of the jungle and drum ‘n’ bass scenes; a true innovator for dance music across the globe.

Shy’s career has spanned almost 20 years, cementing his name in both the underground and mainstream folk-law. Shy continues to maintain his legendary status, whilst staying true to his art form, and staying relevant and at the forefront of eclectic dance music.

DJ Zinc is a true veteran of the UK dance music scene, having been involved as a listener, producer and DJ since falling for rave, acid house and early jungle as a teenager. He’s been deejaying on pirate radio since 1991, made his name producing jungle and drum ‘n’ bass throughout the ‘90s and the first half of last decade – including 1995′s slippery anthem ‘Super Sharp Shooter’ – and has released tracks that have gone on to prove hugely influential, such as 2000′s breaks/garage freak-out ’138 Trek’.

Supercharged was recently voted 21 in the top 50 club-nights in the world.

Expect line-ups including kream, Benga, Rudimental, Chase & Status, Shy Fx, Friction, Andy C, Foreign Beggars, Gorgon City, Redlight, Rusko, Stanton Warriors, Scratch Perverts, Plump DJ’s, Netsky, DJ Fresh, Krafty Kuts, Lenzman, Opiuo, S.P.Y & Newham Generals to name but a few!

lot of people have a hard time comprehending the notion of charity, especially when it comes to foreign aid. I should rephrase that, the problem isn’t charity itself per se, more the idea of being asked to contribute to the wellbeing of another in a distant country. The objection normally treads painfully close to ex-UKIP blunderbomb Godfrey Bloom's “bongo bongo land” speech and, yes, times are hard but supporting those weaker than yourself is the hallmark of a mature and conscientious society, be that nationally or internationally. If you can’t, then don’t; if you can, do.

In a past life I was employed by a charity to call people who had expressed an interest and ask if they would like to help send children orphaned by AIDS in Zambia to school. I cut all the heartstring-pulling, guilt-trip guff out of the script and went for economic factors: break the cycle of poverty and break the need for charity. I earned far more for the charity than I was paid but would regularly be met by bile-spitting Bloomites who never let a good fact get in the way of their prejudices and who did their best to insult me and the cause in the name of excusing their lack of will or ability to help. One particularly vindictive woman called me a “little s***” before declaring that all the girls should be sterilised and all the boys given the chop as “they have too many kids over there”. Charming. After ten minutes of attempted reasoning I lost my rag and called her a racist til she hung up, getting fired in the process, but if she didn’t want to contribute she could have just said no. It’s that simple.

This Saturday is the Oxjam Brighton takeover: 40 bands in 10 venues across the city with all-access passes going for a fiver. Now, developing countries are largely the result of national borders drawn on the back of a fag packet by departing colonial masters, jerking historically different cultures and peoples under one flag, leading to civil war and genocide.

American, European and Chinese corporations continue to plunder the natural resources of countries inadequately equipped to take full advantage themselves and sell the product back at a monstrous mark up.

Then there’s all the Bangladeshi workers in crumbling warehouses making £100 trainers. So if you’ve got a fiver and like music, go; if you don’t, that’s absolutely fine. I promise I’ll be more fun next week.

L7 TV Your weekly TV guide 822 – 28 OCTOBER

With Val Aviv

★ARIES {Mar 21–Apr 20}

It pains most Aries when they realise that they need other people to help them accomplish their dreams. However, with your ruler Mars asserting himself through your sixth house, success comes when you take the lead. Learn a new skill.

★TAURUS {Apr 21–May 21}

You’re currently being asked to see the world through the opposite point of view. Others may not be playing ball, so it is really up to you to try and understand why. Things turn in your favour when you stop speaking and start listening.

★GEMINI {May 22–June 21}

Your ruler goes retrograde so this week you may need to go over old ground before you can make that decisive move forward.

While delays at work or disruptions in your routine may be a nuisance, think of it as a blessing as you bide more time.

★CANCER {June 22–July 22}

Erotic desire seems paramount. You may be seduced by the sensation of your own lust, leaving you to forgo your usual senses. Remember, the more you are enraptured by desire, the more you are vulnerable to the manipulations of others.

★LEO {July 23–Aug 22}

Your sunny ruler moves into the homely sector of your chart to join serious Saturn and a rather brooding and thoughtful Mercury. You may feel inclined to retreat a little into your inner depths opting for some privacy, although you are averse to looking back, revisiting your past can be cathartic now.

★VIRGO {Aug 23–Sep 22}

While your ruler is deep in thought in excavating Scorpio, a need for concrete bottom liners becomes necessary.

As you seek transformation, it may help to take a systematic approach. Mars moves into your sign bringing motivation.

★LIBRA {Sep 23–Oct 22}

Clearly you've got some financial negotiating to do as Mercury retrogrades in your house of finances, to buy you some time.

At first you may come up against a brick wall, but you mustn’t think of set backs as the end, they are merely serving as guides to help you navigate the territory.

★SCORPIO {Oct 23–Nov 21}

With conversational Mercury retrograding in your sign, studious Saturn and the illuminating Sun chipping away at your outer personality, you're going through a process of reform. One that requires you to think, work and shine. Just don't be in a hurry to reach conclusions.

★SAGITTARIUS {Nov 22–Dec 20}

Your ruler may find meaning in the exotic and erotic as this week’s Lilith conjunction infers the need to get back to basics and rediscover your primal urges. While on the one hand you aspire to the heavens in pursuit of truth, Lilith can be a distraction, or a part of the experience that takes you there.

★CAPRICORN {Dec 21–Jan 19}

While you like to plan the future, there are always the inevitable disruptions that you can't factor in. As this week reveals the think tank Mercury in retrograde motion and ambitious Saturn in transforming Scorpio, review your aspirations.

★AQUARIUS {Jan 20–Feb 19}

What you know and what you aspire to know are worlds apart. As this week draws your attention to aspects of your education, it may be time to really involve yourself in pursuit of a new course of study. There is however, no need to rush.

★PISCES {Feb 20–Mar 20}

Your income may be changing its source as forces behind the veil are pushing the transformation forward. While it is likely you will land that job or be offered that bonus, the process is far from complete. Learn to improvise as the ever spinning wheel means everything is in flux.

Telly Talk With Victoria Nangle

...Spoiling us T

he thing about getting older is that the friends you had when you were younger and doing stupid things accumulate years too and can end up in some rather responsible jobs. I know.

Who’d’ve thought it? Anyway, it’s due to this passing of time and not to any latter day networking that I’ve ended up knowing a couple of people in my time in the diplomatic corps. So it was with their stories echoing in the back of my head that I settled down to watch the latest Mitchell and Webb endeavour that is the comedy drama Ambassadors.

The premise is quite straightforward: David Mitchell is the rather green and reasonably freshly arrived British ambassador to the fictional Central Asian Republic of Tazbekistan. Robert Webb is his already deeply entrenched in the landscape number two. Right, I thought. Just like in Yes, Minister. No, not like Yes, Minister. Although Ambassadors is filled with very funny bits it’s also an opportunity for the comedy duo to flex their dramatic acting muscles as it does tackle some actual serious international balancing acts.

Drawing from such influences as diverse as Drop The Dead Donkey, Nancy Mitford and The Muppets – as far as I can see – Ambassadors lampoons militant human rights actioneers with the same breath that it condones deliberately blind international arms dealings. This is an office trying to work together as much as any other, whilst at the same time fast in the knowledge that their every action is being watched by prying eyes and could well be representing Britain on an international stage. No pressure then.

As much as it looks at the larger picture, this is a small country, a distant outposting, and not too many bods to get a lot of work done. Culture clashes abound, some ringing as soundly as a cymbal marking the end of any symphony. But that’s only on the inside of this fictional world. On the outside this has all the production values you’d expect to find from a three-part BBC special, including location shoots, multiple locations and a talented ensemble cast.

There are many layers and opinions to be found within Ambassadors, carefully shaking you into

thinking rather than simply thinking the one thing one writer or producer would like to be the ‘message’ of the piece. The only ‘message’ of this piece in the job of the diplomatic service is hard and not as glamorous as we’d like to think. My favourite detail of the piece are the two Tazbeki men, completely disconnected from the rest of the action, listening in on the bugged exchanges of the embassy like a subtitled Statler and Waldorf.

Very funny asides as they spill their crisps and scratch themselves.

“...listening in on the bugged exchanges of the embassy like a subtitled Statler and Waldorf” There are lots of surprising and enjoyable details to be found here, not least of which is that Robert Webb is actually rather good at acting. I always got the impression that Mitchell and Webb were pretty much playing versions of themselves in Peep Show, an idea not dissipated by the persona David Mitchell inhabits on all of the panel shows.

Whereas Mitchell’s ambassador is not that big a jump from that, it’s quite a relief to see Robert Webb play someone who’s got more going on upstairs than the musings of the ineffectual Jezza.

It’s a shame there are only going to be three episodes of Ambassadors. It has pulled off that elusive trick of not simply filling the first episode with cumbersome exposition, and with intelligent questions being asked, although this isn’t exactly how I imagine my diplomatic drinking pals fill their days, I can see it tickling them beyond belief. Well done the BBC. Ambassadors, BBC2, Wednesday 23 October 2013

monday 28 The Great British Bake Off BBC2, 7pm The three finalists face the three final challenges designed by Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood, with Mel and Sue wishing them well from the sidelines. The Signature Challenge sees them bake a picnic pie, the Technical Challenge sets the bar at perfect pretzels, and the final test is a full on wedding cake. So excited!

Under The Dome Channel Five, 10pm Not necessarily a metaphor here but there’s a tornado circling overhead the dome’s inhabitants.

Just saying. Oh, and Julia is rushed to hospital after being shot, and then Barbie goes on the run when Big Jim turns the town against him. Tornado’s not a metaphor, you understand. And the teenagers get a new vision.

Some Girls BBC3, 10pm The active teens are clashing heads again in this BBC3 sitcom.

Anna is now ready to go on maternity leave, which would no doubt thrill Viva were it not for some troubling thoughts about her ex-boyfriend Rocky. Holli and Saz are certainly interested though as they compete to take over managing the football team.
