Editor’s Letter…

International Women’s Day returns on Tues 8 March. Surprisingly there are still voices of dissent (perhaps a few making good money from their contrary beliefs), who squeal that the occasion is out of date, unneeded or impotent. Some suggest it’s been hijacked by Instagram princesses and out of touch pop stars hoping to virtue signal their way into our hearts. Is it extreme enough? Can it force genuine political change? We’re certainly far from the initial struggle for universal suffrage and property rights. It’s over a century from when Russian women marched to demand their voices be heard, and the celebrations have changed markedly. But then we’re in a different world, where ideas are communicated through means other than sheer weight of numbers. And then there’s all those tedious conversations…

GOODWOOD MEMBERS’ MEETING

The home of motor racing in Sussex is about to open its doors for another action-packed season. The iconic Goodwood Estate kicks off proceedings next month with the 79th thrilling instalment of their Members’ Meeting.

Uncrowded, intimate and access-all areas, it is exclusively open to members of the Goodwood Road Racing Club Fellowship community. Goodwood is delighted to announce two new races for this year. The inaugural A.F.P Fane and Robert Brooks Trophies join returning favourites such as the Gerry Marshall Trophy and a new format for the Hailwood Trophy. Named after legendary Frazer Nash racer Alfred Fane Peers Agabeg, the A.F.P Fane race celebrates one of Britain’s oldest and most iconic brands with a…

STAUNCH TAKES CENTRE STAGE

The cat is out of the bag! Staunch launces on Saturday 2nd April at 8pm (doors at 7pm), bringing a night of fierce, stunning, sickening cabaret and burlesque to Brighton’s new queer venue Centre Stage. Staunch will be a monthly event with tickets costing £10. This new night of cabaret represents a tale of the forbidden, a story of the fierce and a telling of pure, fabulous glamour. Set in 1930’s Britain during a time where same-sex intimacy was only tolerated in the world of cabaret, Staunch is here to get you dancing and drinking until dawn. For to be gay is seemingly acceptable in this circle of the chattering class, if you can afford the door fee and get past Mrs Sparkles our doorman, of course! Madame Fakewell will…

CPRE SUSSEX LEADS GREEN REVOLUTION IN BRIGHTON & HOVE

CPRE Sussex is organising tree planting events across Brighton and Hove from now until the end of March. The widespread programme is part of Trees for Cities’ Forgotten Places project, aiming to provide green jobs and boost nature recovery. Planting is already underway in Woodingdean and Bevendean, with upcoming events in Portslade and on the Bristol Estate. “We are thrilled Brighton & Hove was one of seven cities chosen to take part in Forgotten Places,” said Penny Hudd from CPRE Sussex. “Trees are hugely important, not just for the environment but for the health and wellbeing of our city’s residents. We have been working closely with communities to ensure trees are planted in the right places and have every chance of living long, healthy lives.” CPRE Sussex is the local…

The best alternative music festival by the seaside is back, with Bad Pond celebrating its seventh year. 2022’s lineup is possibly its biggest ever, with huge acts like Bob Vylan, Bossk and God is an Astronaut descending on Concorde 2 on 1st May. Bad Pond is the festival incarnation of Brighton studio and record label Small Pond, whose reputation for fostering high quality alternative artists has been evidenced by the success of signees like Physics House Band and CLT DRP. Small Pond was founded by a group of friends who literally built the studio themselves back in 2015, and as might be expected from a team with such ambition, a festival was the obvious next step. Small Pond’s managing director Vlad explains: “I started Bad Pond with a fella called…

The very first ARTWEAR event launched in February in the atmospheric upstairs of Presuming Ed’s. Created by Brighton-based stylist and creative director Abi Rigby, the events are designed to inspire conversations around sustainable and eco-friendly fashion and bring together local designers. With Presuming Ed’s spectacular vegan canapes and cocktails circulating, the evening began with an opportunity to meet the designers and go through their pieces – from high fantasy corsets and lush tulle-tuxedo constructions, to bold geometric accessories and recrafted denim statement pieces. The open discussion that followed was an inspiring chance to consider how much more exciting it can be to upcycle and rework, buy from local designers and repurpose old pieces. We caught up with the four designers, sharing their inspirations and insights on sustainability. ROSIE EVANS Rosie:…

Five Fiction Favourites from Around the World for International Women’s Day

The Bread the Devil Knead - Lisa Allen-Agostini What’s it about? The Bread the Devil Knead follows the fashionable, feisty and fiercely independent Alethea Lopez. While outwardly successful, behind closed doors she’s suffering domestic violence and attempting to bury the deeply traumatic experiences of her childhood. However, a series of events begins to unfold that cause Alethea to confront her situation and explore the possibilities for her future. What did we think? We were completely drawn into Alethea’s world. The depiction of life in Port of Spain is visceral, and much of the dialogue is written in local dialect which absolutely brings it to life. We also loved that although it is harrowing in places and addresses some very difficult topics, Lisa’s strategically placed comedic moments bring levity to the…

BRIGHTON FESTIVAL CO-GUEST DIRECTOR TRISTAN SHARPS DISCUSSES HOW ART CAN PROMPT CHANGE

It’s been a long two years, but Brighton Festival is finally due to return in its familiar format, in-person and bigger than ever. “It’s just great that it’s back to full strength,” says Tristan Sharps, dreamthinkspeak founder and 2022’s Guest Co-Director at the festival. “It’s been a couple of years, so it’s just great.” For the first time, the festival is welcoming two Guest Co-Directors. Celebrated Syrian architect and author Marwa Al-Sabouni joins Sharps, enabling both local and international perspectives in the programme. So, what kind of guest director is he intending to be? “I don’t think of it as a figurehead situation. Both myself and Marwa Al-Sabouni have been heavily involved in the creation of the programme. But it’s a joint effort. There’s a fantastic team at the festival,…

Oska Bright Film Festival puts people with learning disabilities, autism or Asperger’s where they should be – on the big screen. This popular event returns on Weds 16 – Tues 22 March to platform a range of bold, exciting and different work from voices you might not have heard before. Founded in 2004 by a group of learning-disabled filmmakers, Oska Bright Film Festival started as a one-day celebration of work, and has significantly grown in size and reach. With less than 5% of disabled people working in the UK film industry, Oska Bright Film Festival is driven to enable much needed change.

RAISING THE SPIRITS.

From 2nd - 5th Feb Copperdollar Studios in Kemptown played host to an installation by artist Jim Sanders. The piece Raising the Spirits was described as ‘an immersive, sensory experience, where the viewer will enter a space enclosed by veils representing the forest of the unconscious’. Spaces for the 30-minute performances were limited to seven people per showing and quickly sold out, but I was lucky to go along to be part of the experience and spoke with Jim a few days after the run had finished. Though the piece was conceived by Jim and he created the majority of the visual aspects, including the clothing of the performers, it was very much a collaboration, with other performers and artists including dancer Kt Simpson, musician Leon Carter, filmmaker Iloobia, sound…

ONE WOMAN’S QUEST TO MAKE SELF-CARE SIMPLE

When Barbara Rowe went from running a hectic diversity training business to nothing during lockdown, she realised just how burnt out she was. With time to focus more on self-care and think about her future, she decided to set up a new business to make it easier for others to join the burgeoning wellness movement. “What if there was just one place for consumers like me to go to, with wellbeing products and advice inclusive to our life stage and lifestyle?” That’s what experienced diversity trainer and lockdown entrepreneur Barbara Rowe thought after recovering from four major operations and successfully losing 11 stone as she began a journey to take better care of herself. Barbara wanted to improve her health and well-being and so she started weaving more and more…

You’ve met Brighton’s trailblazing actors, singers and artists, forging vibrant careers on the international stage with trademark originality. In this series, we introduce you to the people who make it all happen, who make Brighton the culturally renowned city it is from behind the camera, in the studio, behind the mixing desk, back in the green room. In this issue, we’re introducing you to Demelza Mather, a drummer and session artist whose expressive style, magnetic stage presence and passion for her craft has taken her to major festivals, studio sessions and tours, and brought endorsements and film roles.

Brighton’s Sick Joy are back with a new single, a full UK tour and what’s looking like their biggest year yet. BN1 caught up with singer-guitarist Mykl Barton to chat about the new single ‘Belly Aching Beast’, songwriting, releasing music into a saturated online culture, and what really matters as an artist. Almost out of the blue in February, Sick Joy dropped new single Belly Aching Beast, a visceral, punk-charged banger that whips from brutally unhinged to infectious introspection. It’s a big ‘wake up!’ moment for fans, whose last dose of Sick Joy came in the form of 2019’s intense, slow burning History. As it was for many artists, Covid stood in the way of new releases for two years. Was the intention to return with a bang? “No,” Mykl…

BN1 CHATS WITH KAT PENKIN

You moved over from Australia in 2018. Were you writing and releasing music while living in Australia, too? I’ve been writing music since I was about 9 or 10, but my first release didn’t come until Feb 2020 after a couple years of finding my feet in Brighton and, without wanting to sound clichéd, finding my ‘sound’. I tried to collaborate with producers in Australia, but I had no idea what I wanted to say or sound like and was so insecure about my music, it never worked out. What inspired the move to the UK? And how did you find adapting to England and the UK music scene? I just needed to be so far out of my comfort zone that I would really push myself to make music…

BUZZARD BUZZARD BUZZARD

Listening to the new album by Cardiff four-piece Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard made me think about the concept of the guilty pleasure and how a song, a band or a sound can make the sudden leap from ironic nostalgia to something relevant and vital. These cycles come and go, the old gets made new then grows old again, buffeted by whatever recontextualisation the current culture demands. Though creativity will always do its own thing, it’s exhilarating to be on the crest of a wave. And I wonder if I’m listening to the sound of the swell of such a wave. Backhand Deals, out on 23 Feb is bold in its reworking of an era of rock that has perhaps never been this closely referenced since its original incarnation. The songs are…

DON LETTS – THE REBEL DREAD

“A man can do all things if he will.” This core ideal embodied the basic tenets of Renaissance humanism – a movement casting ‘man’ as a being limitless in his capacity for development, whether it’s knowledge, social and physical accomplishments, or the arts. “I’ve not thought about anything in my life,” says Don Letts, deftly dismantling my finely-tuned premise with a laugh. “I’ve never had a plan. All I’ve ever done is move towards the things which turn me on, aren’t too hard and I can make a living from. I’m open to what life has to offer. It’s all about taste. And luckily, I’ve got some!” Growing up in ’60s Brixton with hard-working parents, he successfully turned his attentions towards filmmaking, music, broadcasting, writing and even a spot of…

UNIVERSAL QUANTUM

In a quiet corner of Haywards Heath, just a brisk five-minute walk from the station, there’s a small revolution simmering. An interdisciplinary team of engineers are working to profoundly change the way computers work, and perhaps even evolve our understanding of the universe. It’s a bold statement, but Universal Quantum are using their new laboratory and headquarters in mid-Sussex to design machines which use non-linear methods to calculate possibilities. Now providing the new frontier of computer science, quantum computing embraces the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems too complex for traditional (or ‘classical’) processors. A main reason for the Universal Quantum establishing itself in Haywards Heath is the town’s proximity to the University of Sussex. The Falmer campus is where their initial research started, and they still maintain close…

SUSSEX DOLPHIN Project

You might have spotted a video or two this summer of friends bobbing in a dinghy just off the pier… surrounded by inquisitive dolphins! Or a paddle boarder’s friendly encounter with a young seal. They’re breathtaking moments, and chances are you saw them via the Sussex Dolphin Project. Sussex Dolphin Project was set up to monitor and conserve Sussex’s marine mammals through research, awareness and education. Their beach cleans, fundraisers and petitions make a real difference to the dolphins, seals, whales and other mammals on our coast, while their online presence has brought us up close and personal with them through amazing videos, photos and information. We spoke to Thea Taylor, Sussex Dolphin Project Lead, about their aims, the array of wildlife living just offshore, the destructive effects of the…

VOICES OF OUR CITY SEA WITH SURFERS AGAINST SEWAGE.

I’m Clare, one of the Regional Representatives for Surfers Against Sewage (SAS), a marine conservation charity. I wanted to talk to you about a common and rising issue in modern life: ‘Eco-Anxiety.’ What is Eco-Anxiety? Eco-anxiety, also known as climate anxiety, is a fear of environmental disaster and the perfectly normal response to the issues we currently face globally. Far from being a mental health issue, the people who aren’t worried could be deemed to be burying their heads in the sand. The real problem here is how do we go about turning the eco-anxious minority into a realistically concerned majority? And how can the eco-concerned support each other into action and away from despair (thinking the issues are too big), and denial (feeling that the problems are for someone…

VOICES OF OUR CITY SEA WITH SURFERS AGAINST SEWAGE.

THE BATMAN FRI 4 MARCH // CINEMA Matt Reeves directs a new iteration for the ‘World’s Greatest Detective’, promising a return to the darker, more brooding themes presented in the graphic novels by writers like Frank Miller and Jeph Loeb. In particular, the ‘growing pains’ charted by the former’s iconic Year One. You know the deal by now. There’s an orphaned billionaire, obsessed with wearing tights, hitting people and hunting action on moonlit streets. Suddenly there’s a huge extensional and dangerous criminal threat to the city he’s vowed to protect. Everyone’s favourite violent vigilante is now played by Robert Pattinson – which could be a perfect piece of casting to thrust a new dimension on this evergreen antihero.

There’s still an unaccounted-for Romulan agent and a confused rehabilitated Borg to consider, along with a few familiar faces returning to make everything complicated. Sometimes, diplomacy may not be enough to save reality. UPLOAD FRI 11 MARCH AMAZON PRIME A sci-fi comedy series from the brilliant Emmy…

THE BBQ BACK UP

In March we see the first glimmers of sunshine and reminded that the eternal darkness of the British winter is coming to an end. On the first day that temperatures tentatively push toward 15 degrees, dads across the country will take their tops off and invite all their friends around for a BBQ. “Summer is here, lads,” they preemptively bellow, spilling lukewarm lager over their hairy chests. The months of the middle-aged, sunburnt back are here once again! If only… Oh, how they never learn. We all know where this story is heading. Within 20 minutes of the crowd amassing in the back garden, British weather does what it does best. It starts pissing it down and the disgruntled partygoers are forced inside, unsure of what this means for the…
