The international appeal of STOMP is undeniable. They’ve taken their energetic fusion of rhythm, dance and comic theatre to audiences around the world, staging off-Broadway residencies at New York’s Orpheum Theatre, recording lavish HBO specials and performing at the London Olympics closing ceremony in 2012. Not too bad for a concept which grew out of an innovative piece of street theatre. And this success is mostly down to the company’s ability to transcend cultural divides, creating a universal ‘language’ through percussion. “Rhythm and humour have no barriers,” says STOMP co-founder Luke Cresswell. “We all connect to it, no matter where we live.” Mankind has always struck random things to produce sounds. This primal desire evolved into accompaniment for dancing and communication, creating a rhythmic lexicon which is understood across the…

The Famous People present Fur Elise on the Stylophone Sun 1 May 2022 Male and female fronted jangle jank. Formed in a small bedroom at the back of a Brighton seafront flat during the bleak winter of 2020, The Famous People combine deliberate slur with unintentional eloquence; harmony laden throughout with the odd organised discordance. A sound that wouldn’t be out of place in your parents’ record collection, a love of the late 80s/early 90s combined with a 2020s touch create the sound of the least famous, Famous People about. Jarki Monno present Boys Still Cry Sun 6 Feb London-born singer-songwriter Jarki Monno oozes personality and honesty, which is notably expressed throughout his music. Developing a unique sound best described as reflect-pop, the music is strongly influenced by artists such…

“Just don’t make me sound like an arsehole.” Kerry Godliman says as we’re wrapping up. “Often I’m really candid in interviews, then I read it back and wonder why I said some things.” We might be a little bit closer to understanding how the After Life star has managed to simultaneously build successful careers in both drama and stand-up. Self-awareness and brutal honesty are key to engaging with most audiences. It’s early in the morning, so her defences might be lowered. It’s been a week of juggling family life and recording commitments, with an extensive UK tour running in the background. The latter has been calling everywhere, and is due to hit Crawley Hawth on Fri 14 Jan and Brighton’s Komedia on Tues 8 Mar. Characteristically titled BOSH, it details her…

As the second new moon rises after the winter solstice, The Chinese New Year is just around the corner. Occurring on the 1st of February 2022, the Spring Festival will reign in the Year of the Tiger and commence several days of celebrations marking the start of a new year. This annual event - also known as Spring Festival or the Lunar New Year - lasts from Chinese New Year’s Eve until February 11 and is followed by preparations for a Lantern Festival held on February 15. In Chinese Astrology, the year of the Tiger is the third of twelve signs in the Chinese zodiac, as opposed to western astrology, which has 12 zodiac seasons that all sit within one year. The New Year marks the transition from one sign…

Getting involved in campaigning for causes you believe in does make things happen. Hello my fellow Brightonians, where does the time go? So much has happened since last we spoke, is it me or is time definitely going faster? I hope this article finds you well in these strange times. I wanted to talk to you in this latest column, on the power and impact that campaigning can have. There are many times when I myself feel like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders, what feels like a tidal wave of environmental issues will be impossible to make a dent in and that the rolling doom of news is just too much. Well I am here to tell myself and you fine people that it’s all…

“I have returned to live in Lewes about 8 years ago after living in Melbourne, Australia. I grew up living nearby on Ashdown Forest where my running began. I started running when I was a teenager and I soon discovered the benefits were more than physical. I started to run for my mind. I found getting out into the countryside gave me space and time to myself. I carried on running when I travelled abroad realising it was a great way to see the local area in a often limited time frame, and I could even dip into relatively unsafe areas as I was only there briefly! Running at high altitude in Bolivia was a particularly memorable experience! I started taking photos when I found myself in awe of the…

England’s biggest annual multiarts festival returns in May and they have released early details of a bold new dance work from the boundary-breaking Hofesh Shechter Company, and innovative theatre by critically-acclaimed Wise Children. Created by the internationally celebrated choreographer Hofesh Shechter OBE, Double Murder will be a thrilling performance of two distinctly contrasting pieces for our times. With a sarcastic nod to our ever-growing indifference to violence, the first piece, Clowns unleashes a whirlwind of anarchy, asking how far we are willing to go in the name of entertainment. In contrast, The Fix offers a human, raw and compassionate moment where violence, tenderness and hope are laid bare through an achingly beautiful cinematic lens, accompanied by the epic sounds of a Shechter-composed score. “I am very excited to bring Double…

Born in Devon and raised on the Isle of Man, siblings Lily and Jack Wolter made Brighton their home when they formed Penelope Isles. A unique sound and serious work ethic brought the attention of Bella Union records, and from their 2019 debut album Until the Tide Creeps In the band showed themselves capable of producing a truly original brand of fizzy and inventive alt pop. Their sophomore album, ‘Which Way to Happy’ landed in November and was celebrated with a euphoric hometown show at Concorde 2. The band worked on the album across much of lockdown. Isolated in a Cornwall cottage with emotions occasionally reaching fever pitch, the threat of claustrophobia was ever present. But, Lily reflects, despite the album’s intense genesis, it was all worth it. “There’s so…

Sussex Underwater are a group who are “passionate about the sea off Sussex and bringing it back to its former glory.” - Catrine Priestley, Admin of Sussex Underwater, who very kindly consented to update me about the wonderous work her collective has been doing this past year. The group was started by local diver Steve Allnut back in March, and it is now being run by a few local divers, including Catrine, pictured below. They campaigned for the introduction of the Nearshore Trawling byelaw for over 20 years, having witnessed first-hand the destruction of the sea bed. This byelaw was finally passed on 24 March this year, a hard-fought victory for the ocean lovers of Sussex. The law made it illegal to use bottom trawling fishing practices between Shoreham and…

Back in 1976, an unassuming and seemingly esoteric rock opera revealed itself to an unsuspecting music scene. The year so far had been dominated by the raucous emergence of Queen; ABBA were tightening their grip on the charts and Hi-NRG pop was enticing millions into clubs. By 9 June, just a few days before The Wurzels would top the charts with The Combine Harvester (Brand New Key), the last thing the average pop-fan expected was a double album combining a spoken word narrative, progressive rock and bombastic orchestral strings which drew inspiration from a Victorian sci-fi classic. Yet, 45 years on, Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of the Worlds has become a generational institution. “I had a simple hope that we’d see the album in the charts for…

LICORICE PIZZA FRI 7 JAN //CINEMA Paul Thomas Anderson makes a welcome return with a thoughtful coming-of-age comedy. Picture day at Gary Valentine’s school leads to an encounter with a bored photographer’s assistant. Cue plenty of mischief, fast driving, an age-inappropriate relationship and a world of nuanced comedic (and slightly transgressive) delights. Alana Haim, Cooper Hoffman, Sean Penn, Tom Waits, Bradley Cooper and Benny Safdie all put in some terrific work in one of the Boogie Nights and Punch Drunk Love director’s lighter works. This intriguing tale of quick hustles, fading stardom and unlikely romance is set in the 70s, so there’s plenty of kitsch nostalgia, an absolutely sublime soundtrack, outdated cultural attitudes and more groovy good times than you can shake a space-hopper at. THE 355 FRI 7 JAN…

2021 has ended and we now have a roughly eleven month reprieve from hearing any music that involves sleigh bells. For many of us, the dawn of the new year will have been heralded in with a heavy night and lots of promises of change or self-improvement that are begging to be broken. Yes, new year resolutions are a perilous business - there is nothing worse than trying to organise a night at an Argentinian steakhouse a week after New Year’s Eve, only to be met with your mates’ smirks and claims that you drunkenly stated that you would go vegan in the early hours of New Year’s Day. As such, careful precautions must be taken before engaging in any resolution based antics. All promises that you may want to…
