Editor’s Letter

Remind me again… How do I ‘do’ social interactions? I used to be great at it, flitting from one engagement to another, like a young starlet on Oscars night. Now, I’m not so confident. My phone is overflowing with dinner invites, party planning and excited arrangements to ‘go large’ at our local pub. It’s nice to be popular, but it’s not filling me with excitement. Is that wrong? There’s bound to be plenty of people experiencing similar thoughts. Personally, I’ve essentially spent most of the last eight months on my sofa, watching The West Wing with a hand absent-mindedly down my trackies (those two things are entirely coincidental by the way. Although Rob Lowe is an astonishingly beautiful human being). I guess the point is, I’m not truly ready for…

AN EXTREMELY SHORT HISTORY OF BRIGHTON & HOVE

Prehistory In the shadow of the Brighton Racecourse grandstand is the earliest evidence of life in what we now call Brighton: Whitehawk Camp is a Neolithic site, from around 3500 BC. And those ancient denizens were enjoying the sea air once more when a stone long barrow (a cross between a monument and a tomb) found at Waldegrave Road was used as hardcore to build nearby Balfour Road, and workmen kept finding human remains poking through the foundations. (I’ll rise above the temptation to say they were lending a helping hand). Roughly 3000 years later, the Iron Age hillfort, Hollingbury Castle, was built, which estate agents of the time would no doubt have described as “enjoying panoramic views of the Downs to the north and the sea to the south.”…

FRI 28 - SUN 30 MAY JUBILEE SQUARE, BRIGHTON AN EXPLOSION OF STREET PERFORMANCES, INC. FOOD & DRINK ON THE FIRST WEEKEND OF BRIGHTON FRINGE While Brighton Fringe is no stranger to the marvellous, the strange and the unforgettable, it’s when England’s largest open-access arts event spills out onto the streets that it often presents the most wonderful of spectacles. Put yourself in the shoes of the unwitting pedestrian who stumbles into the heady peculiarities of Fringe City, the festival’s brilliantly unpredictable alfresco strand. Previous years might have confronted them with a brightly-coloured impromptu disco party, a rather loud antipodean squeezing his entire body through a destringed badminton racket or two stocking-clad traffic wardens encouraging bemused onlookers to ‘keep it kinky’. Now, this hugely popular weekend of free fun and…

THE BIG SCREEN RETURNS FOR EUROS AND FAMILY FUN Brighton Marina England expects every person to do their duty. And this summer that involves crying into a pint and saying dumb stuff like: “Why can’t they draw out that back four?” Yes, it’s the UEFA Euro 2020 football. This festival of unreasonable expectations is going to be dominating everything on Fri 11 June - Sun 11 July, so best get onboard now. Recreating that big stadium atmosphere, Brighton Marina will be hosting Big Screen this summer – and screening the tournament’s key matches. A 5m x 3m LED screen will be erected in the Village Square overlooking the inner harbour, which will be showing a packed month of free summer entertainment and live sport, with plenty of coverage from the…

BRIGHTON SECRET COMEDY CLUB

Up a small, quiet street by the i360, my photographer and I were looking around for the Brighton Secret Comedy Club, realising in the process, why it got its name. If we had not spotted the Comedy Club signs amongst the busyness in the window of the venue, we would have easily mistaken it for a cosy café or a quirky flat. But luckily, we found it. We had arrived quite a bit early, so we decided to take a seat on the curb outside of the building to just look over our questions. Then out pops a short Portuguese man with a smile reaching from ear to ear. “Are you ready to come in or are you having a fag?” We laughed and jumped up from the curb to…

BRIGHTON SECRET COMEDY CLUB

For most bands, a year of lockdowns would have spelt the end of any attempt to break through into the national music scene. However, for Brighton-based Lime Garden, that was not the case. In fact, the pandemic only fuelled the quartet’s rise. Months of isolation provided a creative catalyst for the group to refine their eclectic, genre-bending sound. Most importantly, the pause was also an opportunity to strategise their way through the hectic world of the music industry. As a result, the group have had Radio 1 airplay through the likes of Annie Mac and Jack Saunders. Having signed their first record deal, they are now on the verge of releasing their third single, Sick n Tired, later this month. With a string of headline live shows also on the…

Many individuals harbour fantastical dreams of “making it” in the music industry, yet this remarkably common notion is instinctively suppressed by rational fears of probability. However, there remain exceptions to this norm, and Celeste Kechi now stands as a prime example of what unwavering commitment can achieve. With an imminent album release and plans for an American tour in the mix, this young artist has shattered expectations with her effortlessly formidable presence. Despite an admittingly “unexpected” stumble into professional music production, Celeste has “always known” that music was the ultimate goal. Having started at BIMM (British and Irish Modern Music) in September last year she began to “see music as a career, not just a hobby” and credits the institute with much of her success. The modern music university has…

2020 saw the whole world grind to a halt, and the arts industries succumb to a global pandemic. But even a challenge as great as this wasn’t going to stop Newcastle-based rapper Kay Greyson from slowing down. The 22-year-old musician, dubbed the ‘hardest working artist in Newcastle’ has refused to let a year of live music cancellations and social distancing get her down, and especially not stopped her from making music. Having recently released her new single, Out of Time, catching up with the bubbly and enthusiastic rapper almost provided a sense of relief, and for a moment, it felt as if the world was back to normal for a while. Her energetic chat and positive outlook on life provided an infectious basis for what was to come… “I always…

Overcoming a turbulent relationship with music, finding her inner sound, and finally taking a leap of faith into her dream of becoming a singer, it would be an understatement to say it’s been a rocky road so far for KESTRA. But even though it has not been the smoothest of rides, she has persevered, grown, and continues to put out songs that are from her heart and show her personality. Any aspiring artist would take inspiration from her journey. KESTRA, real name Kezzie Shanahan, is a 28-year-old London-based R&B and pop singer/songwriter. Her latest single, released late last year, (Don’t you) Darken my Door, has left her eager to head back into the studio and left her fans wanting more. She fell in love with singing at a young age…

Noisy, comprised of singer/rapper Cody, guitarist Connor, and producer-guitarist Spencer, emerged out of the seaside town, Worthing, just five months before lockdown, with big dreams and a distinctive sound. Notorious for their fusion of hooks and beats, their music takes you places you never realised you needed to go. Towards the end of 2020, they released their Debut EP I Wish I Was A…, which enables you to lose yourself amongst the very relatable lyrics and quite frankly left us wanting more. As a nation, we are ready to get back into the wild world of music venues, longing to experience the sticky floors, sweaty walls and drunken chats once more, and this is no different for three-piece band, Noisy, who are keen to get back to making a melodic…

FUR are not a band who like to do things by halves. Since bursting onto the scene with 2017’s viral If You Know That I’m Lonely music video, the retro visionaries have amassed 30 million plays across Spotify and YouTube, garnering support from BBC 6 Music, Radio 1’s Indie Show, and the NME to boot. With a new album release in the pipeline for later this year, we spoke to the boys about The Beatles, Brighton and how to celebrate getting a record deal. As it was for most, 2020 was a strange year for the band. Instead of embarking on their usual touring circuit, they found themselves recording a 7-track EP, Facing Home Mixtape, all from the comfort of lead singer Murray’s living room. “It almost felt like you…

Summer Lunching, Happened so Fast

It’s almost time to get our umbrellas out, dig out the coats we thought would be redundant for the next few months, and convince ourselves that the unseasonably bitter wind and accompanying downpour aren’t ruining our day out at the beach: that’s right, it’s summertime! Time for pasty white bodies to be seared a juicy pink; for orange, streaky torsos to be unleashed without warning or invitation upon poor unsuspecting shoppers - yes, we’re a strange lot when it comes to summer, we don’t quite know how to handle it. But one thing we’re pretty good at these days is summer scran. Gone are the days when summer menus meant salad and only salad. And gone are the days when that salad was half an iceberg, a quartered rock-solid tomato,…

Ugly is the New Beautiful - The Resurgence of the MULLET

With lockdown coming to an end, life has returned to the streets of Brighton, and people are getting their first tastes of social interaction in months. Ready to reconnect with old pals or show-off the new them, many are taking advantage of the latest legal freedoms. Relying only on internet trends to define the current “cool”, young people are eager to see if they followed the right ones while away. A popular yet unlikely trend emerged over lockdown: if you didn’t know it yet, mullets are back! And as lockdown eases, you can expect to see even more out and about. THE MULLET IS BACK Brighton’s Simon Webster Hair employs hairdressers with special mullet training and styles multiple mullets a week. Simon Webster himself said, “it’s almost like antifashion fashion……

THE COVID QUIZ!

After a year and a bit that has seen the country plagued with lockdowns, heartbreak and heroism, the rules have finally been relaxed once more: we’re allowed into each other’s homes, we can meet in groups bigger than six people – we can hug people again!! Assuming we can recall how to: keep arms north of bum, south of neck; does one arm always go above the other? I can’t remember what I’m doing!!? Okay clever clogs, so you can remember how to hug. But what else can you remember from a year and a bit like none before? 1 We went into lockdown on 23rd march. Just 4 days before, in a Borissean example of “telling the people what they want to hear and deal with the resultant fuck…

WE CATCH UP WITH BILL FROM STROHACKER DESIGN SCHOOL

Is graphic design becoming increasingly important in the modern age? 2020 was a disastrous year for most sectors of the economy, but the design industry has escaped the worst. This makes sense because with society moving online for most of its activities, every company has become a digital one with the need for great design to distinguish a brand now more urgent than ever. Consequently, graphic designers are more desired than ever before. It seems like technology moves so fast nowadays. Are the fundamentals of graphic design universal, regardless of what medium you use? Absolutely. To become a good graphic designer across any medium, you must understand the fundamentals and have a good design process. The five basic fundamentals are: alignment, repetition, contrast, hierarchy, balance symmetry & balance using tension.…

HOW HOME SHARING IS CHANGING THE PRIVATE RENTAL MARKET

BRIGHTON IS EXPENSIVE… In some ways I feel it might be even more expensive than London, where I used to live. Brighton is fun. I bump into friends all the time on the street, and before I realise, we are swapping coffees with beers by the sea, partying and watching the sunset. A rough calculation suggested that, on average, rent in Brighton eats up around 32% of a young person’s income. The idea of living by the coast, having fun, sipping coffees and cocktails, is likely to take a bigger and bigger toll on our wallet, let alone our savings accounts. The situation where our wage increase is not keeping up with inflation and rising house prices is not unique to Brighton & Hove or London. The global North has…

BRIGHTON & HOVE’S BITCOIN-MANIA

How much would you be willing to pay for a cone of ice cream at the pier on a sunny day out? £2? £5? Or even £10? What about an apartment in Hove with a view over the Channel? 200k, 500k or maybe even a million pounds? How much you value an object is, at its core, subjective. And so is how much you are willing to pay for it. But what about a piece of code? Not your average four-digit computer password, I’m talking about binary code – a computer’s language. Right now, people are paying over £40,000 for a digital entry into a log called blockchain to own lines made up of zeroes and ones. I’m referring to Bitcoin, the digital currency that shakes up today’s financial world.…

Captain Tristan Loraine - EVERYBODY FILES

“Air travel is predominantly the safest form of transport,” Captain Tristan Loraine tells me. “But we have a design flaw, which is a flight safety and public health issue, and we need to fix it instead of denying it.” “Learning to fly at 17 whilst studying in Northern Ireland, then continuing pilot training at the Sierra Academy of Aeronautics in California, Loraine worked as a captain with British Airways until he was ill-health retired in 2006. As such, he’s ideally placed to talk about the one issue in air travel which deserves wider conversation. There’s compelling evidence suggesting that the air we breathe inside aeroplanes can become contaminated.” Across his flight career, Loraine says he experienced numerous air fume events. “I’ve landed on emergency oxygen and felt like I’ve been…

GUERRILLA GIRLS

The legendary art collective Guerrilla Girls are bringing their work to the streets of Eastbourne. Part of a new commission titled The Male Graze, it will explore negative male behaviour through the lens of art history. The Guerrilla Girls are anonymous artist activists, who use disruptive headlines, outrageous visuals and killer statistics to expose gender and ethnic bias and corruption in art, film, politics and pop culture. “They believe in an intersectional feminism that fights for human rights for all people and all genders,” they tell me. “They undermine the idea of a mainstream narrative by revealing the understory, the subtext, the overlooked, and the downright unfair.” Since the mid-80s, they have done hundreds of street projects all over the world, as well as interventions and exhibitions blasting museums on…

REGENCY WARDROBE

The Regency period offered a profound impact upon these British Isles. It was a time of seemingly limitless potential, with global trade bringing a barrage of new sights, sounds, influences and ideas. And this filtered through to distinct trends in British architecture, literature, politics and culture. In many ways it was the beginning of the consumer age, mass production and materials from every corner of the globe bringing in wider and cheaper choices. This was reflected in the era’s fashions, which underwent a huge flux - bridging the gap between Georgian decadence and Victorian morality. British-spun materials became more desirable than their foreign counterparts, which slashed their price to ordinary consumers. Although, as ever, sacrifices in the name of sartorial elegance did have consequences. “Apparently there was a great outbreak…

ONE GARDEN BRIGHTON

STANMER PARK, LEWES RD, BRIGHTON 9:30AM - 5PM Just a turn off the A27 or a stroll from Falmer station, Stanmer Park has played host to many events over the years, from dance music festivals to apple festivals, and with its woodland trails and open countryside vistas, it’s the perfect place for a Sunday picnic or ramble. However, if you keep on walking past the lavish Stanmer House, out through the other end of the park, you will now find yourself at One Garden, a previously hidden walled garden complex with market and café, which has just opened to the public. The concept was propagated by Plumpton College and Brighton & Hove Council as part of the Stanmer Park restoration project, which was awarded £5.8 million by the National Lottery…

The Real Cost of DEMENTIA

One in three of us born in the UK today will go on to develop dementia, and there will be one million people living with the condition by 2025, making dementia care one of the greatest challenges facing our society. Sarah Coleman, an Alzheimer’s Society Dementia Connect Services Manager based in Brighton, writes about her work in the Sussex area. Dementia is a complex condition, and the impact of symptoms can make it increasingly difficult to carry out the everyday tasks most of us take for granted. Some people with dementia require one-toone support with nearly every aspect of life, either at home with a homecare worker or in a care home. This is classed as social care, and as a result is means tested, rather than provided free on…

The Real Cost of DEMENTIA

FAST AND THE FURIOUS 9 25 JUNE // CINEMA Sweet mercy, what have we done to deserve this? Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges, Vin ‘Vin Diesel’ Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez once again attempt to answer human existence‘s most fundamental questions–through the medium of furious punching and fast driving. There’s a long-lost brother, a spot of unfinished business, global peril, unbelievable stunts and then something blows up. You should know the drill. For a franchise which began with a street-racing crew who sold knock-off VHS/DVD players on the side, the epic scale of these films is now totally out of control. But nothing is going to stop me watching this. Non-stop fun for all the ‘fah-maa-lee’. KATLA 17 JUNE // NETFLIX Created and directed by the award-winning Baltasar Kormákur (Trapped, Everest), Netflix present…

It’s 2021. A year full of hopes and dreams for a return to some sense of normality. The last year, as we all know, turned the world upside down in every single aspect, with retail, businesses, education, hospitality, and life as we know it drawing to a standstill. With life on hold and everyone trying to adjust to the “new normal”, various industries have crashed and burned. However, the case for the property market is quite the opposite, it has been revitalised with the introduction of government schemes. Whether the impacts are positive or negative is yet to be seen, as there is uncertainty surrounding the market’s future. Purchasing a property is, of course, not a decision to be taken lightly. It requires careful consideration, planning, decision making and time…
