» Review: Hugh Cornwall ‘Hooverdam’ & ‘Rattus Norvegicus’

Following the trend of performing complete albums, the former Strangler kicked off at people taking flash photos before launching into the 60’s garage-styled opener from his new free-download album. With his battered Telecaster and, at times off-key, trademark voice, the new songs ranged from Canvey Island pub rock to Ray Davies-like reflections on Trowbridge. Another complete album could have made this one for fans only but when it contains ‘Hanging Around’, ‘Grip’ and ‘Peaches’ plus an encore of a Doorsy ‘Golden Brown’ and a rip-roaring ‘No More Heroes’ it ended up being fun for everyone, even Hugh.

» 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

AOH Special: It’s Festival time in Brighton & Hove, which means the Artists Open Houses have opened their doors for another year! Maps of all the trails can be picked up across the city. We love nothing better than browsing and buying arts and crafts, and there is so much going on throughout May that we’ve made it easier by bringing the Artists Open Houses to you! 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.
