Brighton Festival 2010 has a new addition; HQ is the unique pop-up social club set in a site-specific installation that boasts a daytime Canteen and Evening Cocktail bar peppered with exclusive late night performances. It will be the hub of this year’s festival where artists and festival goers converge!
Artist Gary Card is setting the scene for HQ by transforming the Brighton Dome foyer, the centrepiece of which is an abstract chandelier back lit by the foyer’s skylight to give a stained glass effect. Read the rest of this article »
There is a real wealth of classical music this year so tell us what your top event is?
Well that’s an impossible question as there’s a breadth of music this year to suit all tastes. I guess one concert that I’m especially excited about is the Monteverdi Choir and Orchestra performing Bach’s ‘Mass in B Minor’ (11 May). John Elliot Gardiner doesn’t perform in this country very often. They are an extraordinary choir with an extraordinary conductor, performing a really beautiful piece of music – a real choral treat.

Music for all tastes is on offer in this year’s Festival. There is an exciting array from Rokia Traoré (6 May), who will deliver an intoxicating blend of acoustic Malian roots with a contemporary edge, to Tunisian oud master Anouar Brahem (4 May), who performs exclusively at Brighton Festival supported by the Mercury-nominated Portico Quartet.
There are some interesting collaborations and double-bills; Argentine singer-songwriter Kevin Johansen (2 May) performs alongside Buenos Aires quick-draw cartoonist Liniers, Folk superstars Ian King and Alasdair Roberts (17 May) perform a double-header. Not forgetting the Brian Eno-programmed ‘This is…’ series, which includes Reggie Watts (5 and 6 May), Acapella! (7 May – featuring Naturally 7 and The Persuasions) and The Books with Anna Calvi (10 May). Read the rest of this article »
Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk
