Love Supreme Festival
LS1
Last weekend saw the third annual Love Supreme festival in Glynde Place draw it’s biggest crowd to date. With a stellar line-up including Van Morrison, Chaka Khan, Lisa Stansfield, Candi Staton, Neneh Cherry and Hugh Masakela, Love Supreme proved itself yet again to be the most effortlessly cool Summer jazz festival in the UK. I particularly enjoyed an incredibly powerful set from the pocket-sized Rochdale diva, Lisa Stansfield that had the sun-soaked soul-loving crowd on their feet from start to finish. The newly knighted six-time Grammy Award winning Sir Van Morrison played a brilliant set that covered most of his big hits and an audience in total thrall to the Belfast-born singer-songwriter, enjoyed jazz infused versions of ‘Gloria’, ‘Jackie Wilson Said’, ‘Wild Night’, ‘Moondance’ and – the money shot – ‘Brown Eyed Girl’. Van the Man rounded out a weekend that really couldn’t fail to please; with amazing performances, breathtakingly beautiful scenery, a laid-back atmosphere, excellent facilities (aromatherapy massage anyone?) and new for 2015, an extended family area that ticked all the boxes for the kids.

Adele
We see the reclusive diva Adele has been out and about. The Brighton-based multi-platinum selling artist was spotted last week having a dinner date with the world’s most famous couple, Victoria and David Beckham. Papped leaving London’s Beaumont Hotel, the camera-shy crooner had reportedly dined with the uber-power couple and their good friends Gordon and Tana Ramsay. The ‘Someone Like You’ singer had been rumoured to be recording the title track to the forthcoming Bond film Spectre but that appears to have been superseded by the new rumour du jour that Sam Smith will record the track. Director Sam Mendes has said that he already knows who is going to do the theme song for the film, but he refuses to share it with the rest of the world. Spoilsport.
