» Review: Beirut

“Welcome to Eastbourne”, Zach Cordon said with a sideways smile. Beirut’s wistful brass fitted in well with the period grandeur of the Winter Gardens theatre. Most of the audience were drawn from outside town – and with only two UK shows this year, it was certainly worth the trip. Performing a set that elevated mariachi, European folk, and funeral marching bands, this big show was long-sold out and feverishly well-recieved. Cordon’s rich baritone led Beirut’s bittersweet, merrily swaying parade through a wonderful cacophony of horns, conjuring up the kind of adulation reserved for revolutionary polictical rallies. A remarkable show in a truly classy joint.
Winter Gardens, Eastbourne, 27 August
5/5

» Brighton Lights 31

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

We have 11 special programmes, featuring artists in their own houses. So here’s your chance to go ‘through the keyhole’ so to speak as we visit the artists in their own environment.
