FESTIVAL drags itself to a close. The customary round of fireworks at Madeira Drive last Saturday night epit­ omised the utter sterility of Brighton's major 'cultural event'. Tango Teas, Palm Court 1920's, an exclusive Festival Club, (membership 4 guineas), an entire Queen Elizabeth's Hall transferred to the sea­ side! The films at the BFT and a few fringe events alone provided cheap and readily available entertainment. Expen­ sive, exclusive, and irrelevant to the mass of Brighton citizens, the Brighton Festival is almost a complete farce; but it is far more a scandal and a highly revealing scandal. PLUTOCRATS OUTING Only a minority has gained and stands to gain anything from this festival; the Brighton wealthy, who instead of needing to travel to London for their 'culture' have had it enacted on their doorstep, Brighton Corporation, as part organisers of a prestige event, two London concert agencies, who between them represent most of the Festival participants, and cert­ ain local interests such as hoteliers. CBR Jersey Mills is prominent among the Festival patrons. Such concern for prestige is more than merely ironic. All this follows directly from the emph­ asis chosen by the Brighton Festival Soc­ iety Ltd, comprising Brighton Corporation, Mr. Ian Hunter (Programme Director), Harold Holt Ltd. (Concert Agency) on an esoteric 'big-name' festival of events. In London on Feb. 6, Mr. Ian Hunter saw the main emphasis of the Festival as 'consolidating its position as an Inter­ national Festival', according to a pamphlet issued by the Entertainments and Public­ ity Department of Btn Corp., the 'object is to provide a first-class feature attracting residents and visitors'. In pursuit of this aim 800 posters were sent abroad accord­ ing to Mr. Robert Black, publicity manager, one of which he believes was seen by some­ one in Majorca. LET THEM EAT CAKE And to hell with the people of Brighton! The only link between the Festival and Brighton seems to be geographical; sights are fixed on distant shores (the Dieppe ferry) while the immediate environment is continued on p. 2. Festival ....

disregarded This operate in two ways, lack of consideration of style and wealth of living of the majority of local citizens, and disinterest in talents of the artistic commu n iy The result of the big-name' concept in entertainment is the prohibitive level of prices. The top II range of most concerts was either 42/- or 35/-, and P given the nearly exclusively musical orientation of the whole Festival, little was offered at realistic prices. The arg­ I ument that famous orchestras etc must be paid for is invalid in Brighton's case N where the average wage level is well under the national average of £15, and G where alternatives to celebrity-type cultural events exist.
