Brighton Lights Episode 44: Ice Skating at the Royal Pavilion, QueenSpark Books, Greg Allum

“We do not remember days, we remember moments,” is writer Greg Allum’s favourite quote by Italian poet Cesare Pavese and Brighton Lights 44 is full of magic moments, as Christina Toimela and Alex Turchyn get their skates on and present our show on ice from the amazingly beautiful Royal Pavilion Ice Rink.

Sue Bradley finds all about Brighton’s past with local history expert Dorothy Sheridan and Cllr Bill Randall, Mayor of Brighton & Hove at the 40th anniversary of QueenSpark Books.

Greg Allum’s persuasive charm (and his way with quotes) convinces Christina that his latest book Carbon has a spark of hope despite its dark nature. His message is to find beauty in both sad and happy moments.
