Brighthelmston, Sussex captures a significant era in Brighton’s history as a seaside resort, and was for many years known only through an engraving by George Cooke published in Picturesque Views on the Southern Coast of England (1825). The original work remained effectively out of sight in private ownership for over 100 years.

In England, decades later, a reluctant mother prepares for the departure of her grown up daughter Faith, as she cuts the ties of childhood. Then a chance discovery opens an unhealed wound and a long buried secret is revealed. The bittersweet experience of every parent as they try to teach their child to survive alone, unties these women across the decades. In the nine months before the outbreak of World War II, the Kindertransport ferried nearly 10,000, mainly Jewish children from Germany and Austria to safety. Many would never see their parents again. In the year that marks the 75th anniversary of the Kindertransport, this is a timely and unmissable story of love and loss, past and present and hope for the future. 7:45pm, Thu & Sat mats 2:30pm, £10- £25 – Theatre Royal 21 – 30 November Cinders - Full of colourful characters, thrilling theatrical effects and sumptuous costumes Cinders is the perfect escape from the winter weather for all the family, 2pm & 7pm, £13 – The Emporium 27 November – 01 December BGT Youth presents: Les Misérables School Edition - Following the rip roaring success of their stunning staging of Miss Saigon earlier in the year, the hugely talented BTG Youth return to the Brighton Dome with the astounding Les Misérables, See website for performance details www.brightondome.org – Brighton Dome 29 – 30 November W e’re Going on a Bear Hunt - A family set off on an expedition – run down the grassy bank, squelch over the oozy mud, stumble into the dark forest, then peer into a cave… what will they find?

  • Dale Winton Tribute for Archive
    DALE JONATHAN WINTON TV presenter, disc jockey and entertainer 22nd May 1955 - 18th April 2018 Tribute taken from ceremony conducted on Tuesday 22nd May 2018, at One Marylebone, London NW1 4AQ By Rupert Morris, Humanists UK Even to those who hardly knew him, Dale Winton was a bringer of joy. He connected with people of all types and all ages, all over the English-speaking world, communicating a flirtatious yet fundamentally innocent love of life – and laughter. It is hard to say the name, or even think of him, without smiling. Dale Jonathan Winton was born in North London on 22 May. His father, Gary Winner, was a Jewish businessman in his forties, more than 20 years older than his mother Sheree, a beautiful and glamorous woman who had just embarked on a showbusiness career that was to bring her TV appearances alongside Terry-Thomas and Frankie Howerd, as well as parts in several British films. Dale was named after Dale Robertson, the handsome star of the TV western series Wells Fargo. Young Dale had quite a conventional upper middle-class upbringing, with a nanny, then a succession of au pairs. They had holidays at Cannes on the French riviera. At the age of eight, Dale was sent to prep school, initially as a boarder, which he hated. He was rather a chubby 1 boy with no interest in team games and little enthusiasm for academic study. He would have preferred to spend more time hanging around the film studios where Sheree was getting work. This was around the time that Sheree got a part in the first Beatles film, A Hard Day’s Night, and young Dale was soon starstruck.

  • Paul Weller with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Jules Buckley
    For immediate release Paul Weller with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Jules Buckley concert date added to ‘Live from the Barbican’ line-up in spring 2021 Barbican Hall, Saturday 6 February 2021, 8pm The Barbican and Barbican Associate Orchestra, the BBC Symphony Orchestra are excited to announce that the orchestra and its Creative Artist in Association Jules Buckley, will be joined by legendary singer songwriter Paul Weller on Saturday 6 February for a concert reimagining Weller’s work in stunning orchestral settings as part of Live from the Barbican in 2021. In Weller’s first live performance for two years, songs spanning the broad spectrum of his career from The Jam to as yet unheard new material will delight fans and newcomers alike. Classic songs including ‘You Do Something to Me’, ‘English Rose’ and ‘Wild Wood’ along with tracks from Weller’s latest number 1 album ‘On Sunset’ will be heard as never before in brand new orchestral arrangements by Buckley. Weller, who takes cultural authenticity to the top of the charts, reunites with Steve Cradock for this one-off performance. Part of the acclaimed Live from the Barbican series which returns to the Centre in the spring, the concert will have a reduced, socially distanced live audience in the Barbican Hall, and it will also be available to watch globally via a livestream on the Barbican website. Whilst the concert will reflect on some of Weller’s back catalogue, as is typical of his constantly evolving career, it will look to the future with performances of songs from an album not released until May 2021, as well as welcoming guest artists to illustrate his work and the music that influenced him.

I remember visiting Blackstar’s factory a few years ago and being shown a prototype of an ID:Core amplifier and wondering how on earth they’d gotten such a huge, room-filling sound out of such a small box. When they then told me that the amp was going to sell for the price of an effects pedal, it gave me an acute attack of what I now recognise as the Blackstar ‘Wow’ effect .
