Christmas lights switch on in Brighton
The switching on of the Brighton City Centre Christmas Lights took place on 15 November 2012. The beautiful lights bringing the Christmas atmosphere to Brighton are paid for by the businesses of “Brilliant Brighton”. The Brighton Business Improvement District (BID) Manager Gavin Stewart explained that this year the festive atmosphere organised at East Street would be even more a party for the citizens and therefore no VIPs as such were invited. However, local talent was seen in the form of Juice FM Breakfast Show presenters Dan Gasser and Foxy, who were on stage as the MCs for the evening. The evening started with Latin atmosphere created by the Silver Sounds Samba Band and the Ole Ole Dancers. They warmed up the crowd that was shivering in the November cold before Foxy and Dan announced the raffle winners.

The Townhouse Kemptown, Brighton’s popular piano bar restaurant, organised its second birthday party and invited local B&B and other businesses to come along on 14 November. The atmosphere was very cosy and cheerful. General manager Denise McGrenra made the time to have a chat with regulars who spared no words explaining how much they loved the place. Some of them described the bar as an extension of their living room, only better, and nodded towards pianist Mark Russell who filled the room with happy melodies.
