Summer is not here. It is definitely still spring. I say thisbecause we’ve had some warm sunny days of late and

they’ve been flippin’ fantastic. I actually dug out the sun tanlotion I keep in the side of my rucksack in case I’m caught in anemergency – yes, I was a Brownie! – and started tentativelyrubbing it all over my face the other day. You know in that waythat means you’re trying to memorise exactly where you’veput it so that you can avoid walking around with a glop of un­rubbed­in lotion for 30 minutes.

I even started yawning in the afternoon, which tends toimply just a touch too much time in the sun. But I say again –it’s not summer, it’s still spring.

The reason I’m so emphatic is that we tend to have a habitof enjoying a couple of days of sunshine, and then when theinevitable torrential rain follows it there’s an uproarproclaiming that ‘summer’s over! We’ve missed it!’. Don’t youworry your pretty little heads. This was just daffodil­baiting.The sun will come back when summer actually arrives. And Ishall be right on the beach welcoming it to Brighton.

Summer is fast approaching and its finally time to ditchthe knitwear!

Shopping for new pieces for your wardrobe can bedaunting, before you head out to the shops to get stuck intothe new trends my suggestion is to go through yourwardrobe and seek out what you need. Make a list of whatyou’re lacking or coveting and stick to it. Try to avoid gettingdistracted by THAT bag that’s identical to the one you haveat home that’s now on sale. Although this can be difficult,this will eliminate impulse buys that will eventually gatherdust in your wardrobe.

To avoid that dreaded ‘I have nothing to wear’ scenarioevery morning, here are my five key pieces you should investin this summer to get the most out of your money.

A Floppy HatA hat is a greatpiece to invest induring thewarmer months.Not only does itprotect youfrom the rays, it cancompletely transform anoutfit with little effort. Gofor a neutral tone toincrease versatility ormake a statement with abold colour or print. Lookout for straw or lightertones for the warmermonths.

The Maxi DressMaxi dresses are a fail­safe piece in the summer.By adding accessoriessuch as a statementnecklace you can take itfrom day to night. If you’repetite go for an off theshoulder cut, If you’recurvy go for a cut thataccentuates your waist orsimply add a belt.

The KimonoKimonos are great for summer andcome in a huge variation oflengths, colours and prints. Lookout for details such as fringing orembellishment to add interest ortexture to an outfit.

The Denim JacketDenim is classic and will takeyou through the seasons if youchoose right. A lightweightjacket is essential for thosebreezy English summerevenings. Layer over your maxiand add a hat for a city chiclook, or pair with yourfavourite T shirt and shorts fora casual everyday look.

Culottes ­ The 2 for 1 ItemCulottes give the illusion thatyou’re wearing a skirt with thecomfort of trousers, no longer willyou fear a Marilyn Monroemoment! Pair with a simple camitop and sandals for a bohemianvibe and reach for your favouritepair of heels for an evening look.

With these five items you willbe able to enjoy that summerBBQ or a day down the beach instyle! Glass of Pimm’s anyone?…

ALWAYS BE CLOSING

Estate agents sometimesget a bad rap. Yes, it’s

true. Sympathy for them isoften a little thin on theground. And if you are proneto believing the horror storiesof estate agents, DavidMamet’s witty play GlengarryGlen Ross will do nothing todispel this viewpoint.

The play is set in a Chicagoreal estate office around 30years ago. This was the pre­internet and pre­mobilephone era, where to sell aproperty you just needed alandline phone and to go outto prospective clients. Or, inthe case of the agentsportrayed here, not so muchclients… more gullible, haplessvictims. Mamet’s play, whichwon a Pulitzer prize, waswonderfully adapted for thebig screen and starred,amongst others, Al Pacino,Kevin Spacey & Jack Lemmon.

Glengarry Glen Ross isrevived on stage at this year’s

Brighton Fringe, at The RialtoTheatre, by Brighton companyPretty Villain Productions.Glengarry Glen Ross depictsthe ruthlessness anddesperation of salesmenworking in a cut­throatindustry, for whom themention of the word ‘ethics’would see them reaching for adictionary, probably with afurrowed brow. We witnessthem lie, steal, bribe andcheat, seemingly in a routine

manner. Mamet’s inspiration for the

play emanated from hisyounger days, during whichhe worked in a real estateagency. The dubiouspractices, so keenly observedin Glengarry Glen Ross, areindefensible. Is it all darkthough? According to thedirector, Roger Kay, “it’sfascinating to see whatdesperation will driveotherwise ordinary people to

do. The play finds humanityand humour, while containingthe sharp, intelligent, dialoguesynonymous with Mamet, oneof the great playwrights ofthe 20th century.”

Having painted a bleakpicture of estate agents, itsurely begs the question…why are Elliotts Estate Agentsinvolved in the production ?“We approached BrianHuggins from Elliotts to see ifthey fancied sponsoring theshow”, said Kay. “No, not sothey could pick up tips –Elliotts are a well­established,independent agency, with atremendous reputation in thecity. And, of course, it’s clearthat they are really goodsports. They enthusiasticallywanted to get behind a localcompany and have some funin the process. It’s been agenuine pleasure having theminvolved.”

Pretty Villain Productionswon awards at the last 2Brighton Fringes (TheCrucible, 2014 ; The LadHimself, 2015) and arethrilled to offer GlengarryGlen Ross this year, alongwith Myra and Blackbird.

The message of this show issimple: to see estate agencydone well, go to Elliotts; tosee it done badly come andsee Glengarry Glen Ross...Glengarry Glen Ross is on 7­8and 11­14 May. Myra is on 5­6 May and 3­4June. Blackbird is on 21­22 Mayand 25­28 May.www.rialtotheatre.co.uk or01273 725230.Photographs credit: SarahLouise Dickenson

Greg remembers the first time he met me and I don’t.Apparently I made a stupid joke about his leather jacket

and asked him if he rode a motorbike or if it was just for show.Who knew I could be so charming? All I remember is that wehave a lot in common. We both think politics is not dull eventhough the television, journalists and even some politicianswould like you to think so. We also shared an interest indocumentaries and lifestyle shows. To put it simply ­ we werejust two nerds.

I would often find excuses towork on projects together or meetup. He just seemed reallyinteresting and different from otherguys. He was refreshing. He wouldoften notice things when I didn’tthink he was paying attention andask questions like he was readingmy mind.

I wouldn’t say I was necessarily “falling for him” or anythinglike that, I just enjoyed spending time with him. He made mefeel cultured and worth listening to. Yet there’s just somethingabout him. If we did get together would it mean that’s it? Hejust seems comfortable, nothing like Peyton who keeps me onmy toes wanting more. I guess I will just have my fun withPeyton and see what happens with Greg, I mean you’re onlyyoung once and as long as I’m upfront about it they can’t gethurt, surely? I’ve seriously never had this issue before. It’sfeeling a bit like London buses.

I’ve spent years wondering what’s wrong with me becauseI’ve not had any relationships or even any action and now I’mspoilt for choice. Watching all these rom coms about menchasing women and women falling for it, I’ve always knownthat would never be me, or in fact anyone’s reality. But I’vealways wondered about it, always considered being swept offmy feet. So I guess my choice is between lust and love and I’mokay not choosing either.

Hands up all of you who have travelled to Paris andenjoyed the sight of the magnificent Eiffel Tower, it really

is the most wonderful and iconic sight. Maybe you, like me,have also admired Blackpool Tower, not so big but equallyimpressive and again a great icon of the British seaside resort.

I have reveled at so many wonderful buildings around theworld, the lunacies of Las Vegas had me rocking with laughter.The Sydney OperaHouse makes astartling silhouetteagainst the brightblue of the harbourand sky. The harbourbridge to the left ispretty impressive too and knocked my personal memory of theRuncorn suspension bridge into touch. The Guggenheim inBilbao is a shiny and shining example of the shock of the new.

You may be wondering where I am going with this so I willtry to explain. The recent furore over one person's view ofBrighton Pier got rather out of hand. I have to say that I thinkhis view was silly and expressing it as he did was misguided,but I guess he's entitled to his opinion. In the same way thatpeople are free to express their opinions on the BritishAirways i360. I like it, I like the pier and I always have, it is avital element of our city's rich history. I guess when the pierwas being constructed there was an air of awe and wonder atthe technology and no doubt a few detractors too.

The threat of the new is for some exciting and for somescary. The pier has been a huge success and has no doubtbeen a major factor in attracting visitors to the city. I hope thatthe new hi tech viewing tower will be equally impressive andattract many more visitors.

One day we might all be standing there, amongst thevisitors, looking at it with the same eyes that were seduced bythe Eiffel Tower and all of those other scary new edifices thatwe now revere.

Eleanor Harris, CEO of British Airways i360, took part in a10k charity run for Chestnut Tree House, on Sunday 17th

of April. She raised an impressive £1,500 for the charity, whoare the only children's hospice in Sussex. They care for life­limited children and young adults aged 0­19, and also providesupport for their families.

It costs approximately £10ka day to keep the hospiceopen, so fundraising is a vitalpart of enabling them tocontinue the important workthat they do. As a mum herself,the cause is very close toEleanor’s heart.

This January she took uprunning for the first time innearly 20 years, joining herteam at BA i360 to take part ina corporate relay in theBrighton Half Marathon. Shethought that as a new runner,10k would be quite achallenge, but certainly rose tothe occasion finishing the racein one hour and six minutes!

Latest caught up with her after the race for a chat, sherevealed: “I would like to say thanks for all the amazingsupport! I had a slow start as I was at the back and got stuckbehind some very slow runners. It was really nice to see all theChestnut Tree supporters at Hove Lawns. As a new runner Ifeel very proud of my race time!”.If you wish to donate money to the cause, visit:www.justgiving.com/i360ChestnutTreeHouseThere are many other ways in which you can help the hospice, visit their page for more information:www.chestnut­tree­house.org.uk

My phone rang today and the voice said "Char, I'm inMarmalade, are you free for coffee?". It was my friend

Jason Maverick. Jason was a presenter on Channel 5'sHavakazoo in the ‘90s, he is also a multi talented entertainerand a former international athlete. There is no end to Jason'stalents, as he's now written a poetry book called 'Comic versefor Men and Curious Women'. [Available on Amazon]

Jason, what was the inspiration for your book? Well, a while ago I had a very serious back injury and I couldn'tmove, I couldn't do anythingfor months, so to cheermyself up I started to writecomic verse. It's the worldthrough my eyes, so a maleviewpoint, but I didn't wantto exclude women.

Can you give me an example of one of the poems from yourbook?Sure. How about this one: Recipe for water ­ Tried to makewater today, two spoons of hydrogen, one spoon of oxygen, itworked, but to be honest I think I made it a bit too runny.

You’ve performed at some extremely famous people’s partieshaven’t you?Yes, I've done Her Majesty The Queen’s parties a couple oftimes. Posh and Becks, oh and I did Johnathan Ross'sHalloween party for 8 years. George Harrison asked me toperform at his party. He and his son operated my soundsystem!

What’s next for Jason Maverick?You'll see me in the BBC1 film ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’which is out later this year. It's all part of the celebration forthe 400 year anniversary of William Shakespeare.

Ihave a real aversion to places that say theyopen for breakfast but only open their doors

at 9am. By that time I have been up andbroken fast for some time. Brunch however isanother thing all together and a meal that I canreally enjoy – when it's done properly.

Terre á Terre now serve lunch and as youmight guess the dishes come labelled withAmanda Powley's poetic titles. I love them,they make dining there not only a gourmetdelight but a fun one too.

After a morning in the studio at Latest TV Ilured my co­producer Mr S along for a latebrunch. He's very new to the city so had neverbeen to T á T before but an hour later he was atotal convert, even booking a table for thefollowing Saturday to treat his mum – what anice son.

We started with a drink, a bloody mary forme and a virgin mary for him, both deliciouslyspiced but mine intoxicatingly spiked too.

The menu was full of temptations so withadvice from the lovely Mrs R we chose threedishes. I chose Run Rarebit Run Rarebit PickleChips. I love Welsh rarebit in any form but theidea of mustard and booze infused cheese onchips with a poached egg was too much toresist, and it was delicious. A really comforting,memory stirring joy.

Mr S chose Smokey Scrunch Chips, crunchychips with chilly chelly, smokey zattar and softspice tofu, with a side of avocado lime hash.He too ate away with a smile on his face. Wealso sampled a new condiment from the T á Tkitchen, a take on a brown sauce that puts HPin the shade.

Our third dish was Satay and Smoke, a

toasted muffin filled with griddled smokedtofu, satay, tamari mushroom and melon rindpickle jam. My word that was good, far toogood in fact and something I will be back toeat again very soon.

Coffee was equally good and piping hot andbefore we left we were persuaded to share aPortuguese style custard tart. Having been tothe home of the pastel de nata in Belem I haveto say that it was not quite traditional, thecustard, delicious as it was had not set andtaken on that mahogany brown caramelisedskin. It did not matter, it was still a fine thingand the addition of rhubarb was inspired.

Terre á Terre never fails to impress and theconstant flow of accolades and awards that ithas garnered over the years are so welldeserved. The city offers so many amazingdining opportunities these days and T á Tshould be recognised as being at the forefrontof that rise from culinary obscurity to theinternationally applauded foodie destinationthat it has become.

I am often asked to name my favouriterestaurants and I usually ask for clarification"What kind of meal are you looking for? Howmuch do you want to spend? Are you lookingfor fun or a refined fine dining experience? Doyou seek comfort or innovation?". Thequestions might all have a different answer,except for one place that would answer eachdemand, and that is Terre á Terre.The Brunchy Lunchy menu is available from10am to 1pmTerre à Terre, The Vegetarian Restaurant, 71 EastStreet, Brighton, BN1 1HQ, 01273 729051www.terreaterre.co.uk

Brighton Fringe is the place to find the new,the exciting and the challenging, and

perhaps no more so than within the PinkFringe. This year sees a performance by NandoMessias called The Sissy's Progress. NandoMessias was beaten up on the street behindToynbee Studios in an act of homophobichatred.After yearsofdreamingup hisresponse,he presentsThe Sissy’s Progress, a spectacle ofprovocation, celebration and hyperflamboyance.

Part dance­theatre, part walking performance,The Sissy’s Progress leads its audience out ontothe streets with a live marching band playingoriginal music composed by Jordan Hunt. TheSissy’s Progress confronts the harshcontradictions of gender and violence of city life,standing up for sissies everywhere.

Messias is heading onto the streets withmusical director Hunt and five musicians toshare his work with audiences and passers­byacross the UK. Instruments include the cornet,saxophone, trombone, tuba and snare drum.

Nando says: "It's genuinely frightening. Ialmost always get abuse from passers­by whenwe're doing the performance. The audience gets

to experience that and that makes it feeluniquely relevant. I'm particularly proud that wetake this performance precisely to places wheresuch work wouldn't normally be seen. It's auniversal theme." The Sissy’s Progress 7 May, Marlborough Theatre, Brighton,www.marlboroughtheatre.org.uk

London PhilharmonicOrchestra, CraigOgden (guitar) JaimeMartín (conductor)

Unseasonably coldoutside, the Dome was

scorching inside. Falla’s 2ndSuite from ‘The Three­Cornered Hat’ was full­blooded with vigorousSpanish passion and arichness of sound that justisn’t heard from the ballet’sorchestra pit. The concerto,Rodrigo’s ‘Fantasia para ungentilhombre’, gave usstately Baroque dance tunesbut still with plenty ofIberian spirit. Craig Ogden’srelaxed command of theauditorium suited thearistocratic style.

In Prokofiev’s ‘Romeo &Juliet’ the orchestraexpressed so manytemperaments: majestic,flirtatious, lyrical menacingand impassioned. Theintensity of volume and theclarity of the silences in ‘Thedeath of Tybalt’ wasoutstanding.Concert Hall, Brighton Dome,16 April 2016Andrew Connal★★★★★

> Calexico – an exceptional American folk rockband that crosses borders

Born from the cult band Giant Sand, Joey Burns and JohnConvertino have embraced the strains and styles of

americana, tex­mex, desert rock, latin and world music, andjazz in formulating theCalexico sound.

After Giant Sand decided tomove to Arizona, Burns andConvertino, along with BillElm, formed Friends of DeanMartin (subsequently Friendsof Dean Martinez), signing adeal with Sub Pop before theysplit with Elm, and the duobecame a much in­demandrhythm section. They thenformed Spoke, whichtransformed into Calexico,named after the border townin their home state ofCalifornia (along with the border with Mexico). Since then theyhave released eight albums, and crossed many musicalborders, embracing a multitude of diverse styles, working withthe likes of Iron & Wine, Giant Sand, Tortoise, Arcade Fire andmany others along the way.

More recently, last year saw the release of ‘Edge Of The Sun’,an album once again filled with an eclectic cast ofcollaborators including Sam Beam of Iron & Wine, BenBridwell (Band of Horses), Gaby Moreno, Amparo Sanchez andNeko Case, in continuing the journey of restlessness androotlessness that has characterised their oeuvre, that skirtsaround American folk rock whilst utilising music from aroundthe globe in creating cinematic soundscapes.

They continue to make exceptional music that like theirname, crosses borders.Concert Hall, Brighton Dome, Tues 26 April, 8pm, £20

MUSICJEFF HEMMINGS

Brighton Festival is coming soon and I'm giddily excitedabout it. I generally go to as many shows as I can fit

in/afford, and next week I am writing in our excitingsupplement pickinghighlights from the wholeprogramme. This weekhowever I'd like to focus on aquiet gem in the programmethat might have slipped pastyou in the rush of all theevents on offer.

130701, an imprint of theBrighton­based FatCat Records, plays an important role in thedevelopment of post­classical music and lists Max Richter,Hauschka and Johann Johannsson on their roster. Three oftheir signings are playing in one evening at The Spire, includingDmitry Evgrafov's airy music that recalls a Scandinavianlandscape in some moments, then Steve Reich in others.

Emilie Levienaise­Farrouch's compositions sometimes focuson the piano, recalling the delicate melodies of Nils Frahmwhile other tracks have led to soundtrack commissions fromHBO and the BBC. Resina (aka cellist/composer Karolina Rec)is more sparse and strange however, using tape delay and livelooping (a technique that is all the rage in Brighton's studentpopulation so there could be a large potential fanbase for herwork here).

Regular readers will know that I'm a keen fan of crossoverappeal and classical music reaching a wider audience. I thinkthat artists such as Max Richter are brilliant at broadeningpeople's musical horizons and opening their ears up to thepossibilities of classical music. (Richter’s reconstructed FourSeasons is a delight for example). I’ve never been to The Spirebefore so a new venue is also a nice thing to try out, and Ihope to see you there in the crowd of the musically curious.The Spire, Tuesday 10 May, £14

BRIGHTON’S ARTY

There’s no better time toindulge in an orgy of arty

experiences in and aroundBrighton. But with all theOpen Houses, andFestival and Fringeevents, where to start?Well, if you’ve nothingpencilled in for 7­8 May,we stronglyrecommended headingoff to Banff Farm justoutside Lewes where theremarkable painterJessica Zoob is openingher new studio to thepublic for the very firsttime (and for one

weekend only). We werefortunate enough to meetJessica and see how her

works evolve a few years ago.Her technique has beendescribed as recalling ‘thework of Gerhard Richter’sabstract paintings and thepoetic quality of later ClaudeMonet’, and it’s noexaggeration to say that theresults – often years inproduction – are justawesome. She calls them‘images to dream into’, so giveyour imagination a treat. Andif you can’t make the openstudio, take a look atjessicazoob.com for limited­edition prints and textiles.www.artymagazines.com
