» Review: Laura Veirs

Six-months pregnant and nearing the end of a very long tour on which her band were required to share beds as well as instruments, Oregon songwriter Laura Veirs seemed a little lumbering as she showcased songs from sixth album July Flame. But then that’s only relative. Since her debut, 2004′s Carbon Glacier, the bespectacled Geology Major has been known for a sweet yet austere, Appalachian-style folk that’s as bracingly beautiful as a midnight swim in a crystal cave. Of the newies, title track ‘July Flame’ stood out with its familiarly strange melodic parameters. But it wasn’t until she got the banjo out for ‘Cluck Old Hen’, a traditional track wound into a rollicking reel by the audience’s quickening handclaps, that the gig really caught light.

» 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.
