Brighton newS
When you think of February, you prob-
ably don’t think of radio controlled
cars and robot invasions. But this is
Brighton, so think outside the box. If
you’re into your Science, you love dis-
covery and debates about the future,
you’re going to be a busy bee with
Brighton Science Festival 2012. Calling
all geeks*cough cough* prepare your
spectacles for a physics funfair kicking
off on the 1st February with a 13.72
minute talk covering everything from
the Big Bang to Big Brother – that’s
one minute per billion years and
apparently it’s doable. With events
and workshops happening across the
month and town make sure your di-
ary’s formula goes off with a bang.
Once again, we have famous faces
popping up at the Brighton Centre
with concerts from chart toppers Olly
Murs and The Wanted, as well as
soothing operatics from the wonderful
Katherine Jenkins. Book your tickets
early peeps, can’t stress that enough.
Naturally, Brighton’s nightlife lives
up to its name with a host of DJs and
live music events at ever more popular
venues across town including Life,
Digital, Audio and Komedia to name
a few. Check out BN1’s listings at the
back for details; we’ve done the hard
work for you. Finally with Valentine’s
Day it’s time to show your loved ones
how much you appreciate them (a box
of chocolates will do, dear) and since
it’s a leap year, it’s traditional for
women to propose on the 29th, so our
congratulations in advance.

To begin with we offer not
one but two undoubted
legends of their time. First
up MArTHA rEEvES &
THE vANDEllAS (Feb
3rd, C2) who is simply one
of the greatest soul singers
still left alive from that
greatest of decades for soul
music the 1960’s. Yes she
may be old but she can still
belt out a tune and with a
back catalogue that includes
such classics as ‘Nowhere
to Run’ and ‘Dancing in the
Street’ you’d be a fool to
miss it! Then two days later
THE MISFITS (Feb 5th,
C2) hit town. Ok, it may
only be Jerry Only from
the original line-up but for
pity’s sake he is backed up
by Dez Cadena and Robo
from Black Flag! This show
is sure to rip the roof off
the C2 so go get tickets off
Buz at Punker Bunker right
now. Right that’s the legends
done, how about some local
hero action?
BrITISH SEA POWEr
(Feb 3rd, The Haunt)
return for their second
of six grand party nights
they are running until
June. Next up is local
post-rock experimentalists
CINEMASCOPES who
it seems have pulled off
a bit of a coup by getting
the support slot for the
OuTFIT gig (Feb 11th,
Green Door Store). The
headliners have made a
name for themselves and
are widely tipped to be one
of the breakthrough bands
of 2012 after they supported
the likes of Ladytron and
Washed Out. A gig at
my local pub is a regular
occurrence but when
BIrDEATSBABY (Feb
15th, The Ranelagh) hit town
it’s always a grand night.
They are here to launch
their new album ‘Feast of
Hammers’ which I’ve been
lucky enough to listen to
and it’s a corker. Dark,
introspective, classical vibes
mixed with a lot of theatre,
excellent!
We are also lucky
enough this month to
have some of London’s
best noisemakers come to
visit – uNDErGrOuND
rAIlrOAD (Feb 18th,
Green Door Store) and
DIGNAN POrCH (Feb
PreviewS
12th, Prince Albert).
That ain’t all either!
THE WAr ON DruGS
bring their lovely folk-tinged
indie-rock to town for one
night only (Feb 29th, C2).
ODDFEllOWS CASINO
launch their third album
‘The Raven’s Empire’ with
a special one-off gig (Feb
23rd, Proud Ballroom) with
support from indie veterans
Terry Bickers (Levitation/
House of Love) and Pete
Fijalkowski (Adorable). A
double-header is always
a good thing – two good
bands, one ticket – and
for post-hardcore fans
this month you’ve got
AlESANA AND WE
CAME AS rOMANS
coming at you from the
other side of the pond (Feb
12th, C2). Lastly we got
GrOuPlOvE (Feb 16th,
The Haunt) who’ve been
touring the US with the
ubiquitous Florence & The
Machine and with a debut
album ‘Never Trust a Happy
Song’ being raved about
in all circles they are sure
to be a band to name drop
sooner rather than later.
February is here so you have no excuses for not getting out of the house to some truly great events in town this month. By Brad Middleton

Owned by those fine people
behind the Playgroup
festival, this friendly and
unpretentious venue is
quickly becoming the best
place to check out up and
coming bands.
As part of its eternal
search for new and
interesting music, The Blind
Tiger has succeeded in
luring flourishing indie-
folk outfit Fanfarlo into its
chambers on 29th Feb.
Based in London, this
five-piece sounds like a
Folk-tinged, (and musically-
proficient) reincarnation of
80’s era New Order.
It’s entirely possible that
somewhere down the line
these lads (and lass) have
robbed the music lab at
their local secondary school.
They seem to utilize every
instrument you could ever
care to mention.
Fusing elements of
folk, indie rock and post
punk with their eclectic
instrumentation, Fanfarlo
build a sumptuous multi-
layered sound that will
FanFarlo
In case there really was anyone who still was unaware of The Blind Tiger on Grand Parade, then we’ll help you poor lost souls catch up. By Stuart Rolt
leave you gasping for more.
Upon casual listening
people will invariably bring
up lazy comparisons with
the Mumford’s or Arcade
Fire, but Fanfarlo provide
a more reserved offering,
challenging the notion that’s
it’s arbitrary to charge
along at a thousand miles
an hour to make your music
intense.
Since their modest
beginnings, performing on
the London indie scene in
2006, Fanfarlo have taken
a less traditional route to
success, by building up their
popularity on both sides of
the Atlantic simultaneously.
The lush nature of their
music has also won it
some brief appearances on
a range of US TV drama
shows. You know the sort
of thing… a hapless, but
sweet-natured geek/Intern/
secret-agent ponders on
the true meaning of their
unforeseen situation, as
some wonderfully evocative
music swoons away in the
background.
But this kind of exposure
certainly won’t hurt the
band, if anything it reveals
the genuine mass-appeal
Fanfarlo have.
With new album: ‘Rooms
Filled With Light’ due
for release on the 27th,
which looks set to catapult
the band squarely into
the mainstream, and a
European tour in full flow,
this is an exciting time to
be catching a band of this
calibre.

MuSIC NEW ON THE SCENE

new on theScene
The BBC Sound Of 2012 list
was finally announced last
month. If you unaware of
this, it’s a compilation of
all the worthy, the weird
and the achingly trendy
acts of last year that Auntie
Beeb will be shamelessly
bombarding our ears with
for the next 12 months.
It’s well known that Radio
One hasn’t a clue when it
comes to UK Hip hop, either
giving scant regard to the
real players on the scene
or promoting the more
embarrassing artists out
there (I won’t give you an
Example). So it’s refreshing
that an artist like DOT
rOTTEN has finally been
picked up by this list on the
strength of his ‘Keep It On
A Low’ single.
Dot Rotten’s background
is straight out of the rappers
playbook: Wrote a beat aged
seven, busted out a rhyme
a year later, obligatory
on-going row with a rival
artist, universal respect on
his scene and (so far) little
recognition from the star-
making industry types.
But with a mention on
the Sound Of 2012 list,
some zooming around the
UK supporting Labrinth
on a nationwide tour and
next single ‘Are You Not
Entertained’ already getting
loads of support from Zane
Lowe and Nick ‘not Eileen’
Grimshaw at Radio 1 a
full two months before its
release, that is all about to
change.
The timing is impeccable,
what with a multitude of
chart-friendly stars singing
his praises, glowing plaudits
from the national press
and a string of high-end
productions under his belt,
it’s only going to take a
sustained promotional push
before this well-presented
young man is busting out
of East End London and
his immaculate beats are
booming out of badly-driven
small cars all over the
country. By Stuart Rolt

These local theatrical types have been around town for a while now, often playing interesting little venues to those lucky
enough to stumble upon them on any given night and experience their maudlin, blues/angst-ridden songs. Think Dresden
Dolls; a more poppy version of latter-day Lydia Lunch, as well as a whole blustering of classical elements thanks to the
string section and you should get where they are coming from. This album, released around the middle of the month,
doesn’t veer too much from their musical blueprint and will be a delight to fans both old and new. They play an album
launch party on February 15th at the Ranelagh pub on St James’s St and what’s more it’s free entry! By Brad M
alBUM reviewS
BIrDEATSBABYFeast of Hammers (Dead Round Eye)
JOHNNY WOrE BlACKAll The Rage (Dead Cherry)I must confess when I was initially given this by my gracious editor I kinda guessed I wouldn’t like it as it mentioned
some dude from Megadeth way too much on the cover and well, I ain’t a fan of them or that type of music. However,
once I got over my snobbery, I gave it a listen and it’s not what I expected at all. What we have is in fact a typical slice
of American sounding AOR that is kind of reminiscent of the music that dominated the 80s charts but this comes with a
message of support for charities like Help for Heroes and that can only be a good thing. By Brad M
Brighton’s live music scene stalwarts Deadbeat Descendants get their retro-groove on with their new album Calibrate
Now! Owing a great deal to the timeless 60’s garage punk styling of MC5 and The Stooges, the band take a noisy hard-
rocking sideways look at modern life. The lyrics are shrewdly mocking and the guitars are brutal, this is the perfect
antidote to all the vapid simpering pop that pervades our lives. I want to be at one of their parties. By Stuart R

theatre
Upstairs from the Grand central pub is
a veritable gem of a small venue, The
Nightingale Theatre. Continuing their
program of small, but perfectly formed
productions is His Spread Legs on
17th and 18th February. Written and
directed by Ben Webb and performed
by Sean Hart, this is a poetic and
political bedtime story which is
moving and funny in equal measure.
The Permanent Way by David
Hare comes to the New Venture
Theatre 18th to 25th February. This is
powerful, and often strongly political,
piece of verbatim theatre which charts
the privatisation of British railways.
From a range of first-hand accounts,
from the survivors and bereaved to
Government ministers, combining
to voice a compelling story of
mismanagement and the disasters that
resulted.
The Theatre Royal presents The
Kings Speech between Mon 27th
February and Saturday 3rd March.
A story about the world’s most
famous man getting to grips with a
stammer and the demands of new
technology. Charles Edwards and
Jonathan Hyde show us that being
the monarch is all about more than
wearing lots of bling and politely
asking people what they do.
Upstairs from the Grand central pub is a veritable gem of a small venue, The Nightingale Theatre. By Stuart Rolt
Slightly more vapid, but no less
enjoyable, is Legally Blonde the
Musical which hits the Theatre Royal
between on Tuesday 13th and Saturday
24th of March.
This multi-award stealing,
all-singing, all-dancing romantic
comedy is about defying people’s
preconceptions of you and proving
what you are really capable of. This
is the funniest and most fabulous
musical around.
Blackly hilarious and full of
deceptions, secrets and betrayals,
The Beauty Queen of Leenane runs
until Saturday 4th February at The
Little Theatre. This story of a lonely,
virgin spinster, who is imprisoned by
circumstance, takes place entirely in a
shabby, poorly-lit kitchen, resulting in
a claustrophobic sense of desperation.
This is familiar territory for this kind
of show, but an excellent and darkly
comedic script ensures its one not to
miss.
Upstairs at Three and Ten presents
Two Days of Plays: A Bite-Size Buffet
until Sunday 5th February. Featuring
a collection of 14 wonderful ten-minute
plays that will be performed in little
sets of 2 or 3 at time from 5:30pm-9pm
the audience just pays for what they
want to see. Gathered from some of
the world’s most exciting emerging
writers, including work from the UK,
USA and Australia, this is excellent, if
slightly eccentric way of experiencing
theatre.

If your New Year’s resolutions have
been slowly severed over recent weeks,
and the oh-I-must-get-healthy intentions
still haven’t materialized, don’t worry.
If, like everyone else, you want to blast
away those annoying winter blues,
have a look at this month’s COMEDY
CHrONIClE highlights, and check
out what Brighton has to offer in the
way of funny stuff. It’s definitely better
than running on a treadmill while
coMeDy chronicle
HOW DID YOu GET INTO THE WOrlD OF COMEDY?I started lying my way into nights when I was seventeen – you’d be amazed how rubbish your Id can be when they really need people through the door. I did it till I was about twenty, by which point I hated it so much I refused to step foot inside a comedy club for seven years. I got back into it when I finally realised I was a normal person doing something very difficult and I didn’t have to try and be a genius. I also did the Jill edwards stand-up course at the Komedia. It teaches you excellent technique – she’s a black belt in stand-up. WHAT’S BEEN YOur MOST MEMOrABlE GIG, AND WHAT HAPPENED?When I was nineteen I did a Comic relief gig in a horrible pub in Amersham. Before the show, somebody got coshed at the bar – not even glassed, coshed. they had coshes in there. A few people went on before me and died terribly.
staring at a wall. The health benefits
of laughter are endless; it boosts your
energy, strengthens your immune
system, and if you get down to one of
Brighton’s finest comedy nights, you’ll
discover the side-splittingly social and
spectacularly sexy benefits as well.
In the words of David Brent ‘You
can’t put a price on comedy’. Er, you
can, but fortunately it’s not always too
pricey, thanks to some pretty savvy and
slick stand-up organisers.
Local comedian, compere and
conspicuous charmer Rue Barratt has
been putting on nights and making
people laugh since he was too young
to buy a pint, and we at BN1 Magazine
were lucky enough to catch up with
him to find out how, why and what? ....
By Beki Turner
None of my jokes got even the slightest laugh, but then fortunately I saw this guy at the front who was so drunk he was practically dancing about to my set. Quick as a flash, I hit on the idea of making him do different dances, taking requests from the crowd, who loved it. I was shouting ‘dance for me! dance for me!’, while they all clapped along. I felt kind of bad, but him being so plastered saved my hide, so I felt pretty pleased at my ingenuity until after the gig I found out he hadn’t been drunk at all. A couple of years before he’d come off his motorbike without a helmet. everyone there knew him. DO YOu HAvE ANY COMEDY HErOES?eddie Izzard, Mitch hedberg, hannibal Buress... that guy especially you have to check out on youtube. WHAT ArE YOur PlANS FOr FuTurE EvENTS, BOTH lOCAllY AND BEYOND?
locally, I’m going to continue working on my night laughtermath, which as of March is moving to the Caroline of Brunswick. I’m pretty stoked about a new night I’m setting up with sami stone at the old Market theatre, called laughtermarket (see what we did there?). you should come check that one out, because it’s going to be frankly amazing, and only £1.50. Although good comedy has no price. to put that into perspective, bad comedy often costs about five pounds. speaking on a more global scale, I think the future event we’ll all planning for is the Zombie Apocalypse. We don’t have many guns in this country so I’m going to use a baseball bat. It’s essentially a club, the most basic weapon devised by man. I don’t think I have it in me to stab someone, even the undead. I did stab myself once, below my left buttock. I wasn’t trying to though - I was trying to cut spring onions. I must have hit something because the blood came out in a great parabolic arc with every heartbeat. It’s like my
fifteenth favourite scar. WHAT DO YOu lIKE ABOuT lIvING IN BrIGHTON?the way you’ll often see all the eccentricity of a normal town compressed into one person. some dude with five watches on his arm and a plastic doll, or wearing a magic hat with his trousers held up with string. these are my people.

BrOKEN GrOuNDfortunately for those those cynics among you, the phoenix gallery appear to have missed the heart-shaped memo and is instead displaying ‘Broken ground’ from the 11th. this exhibition of large prints by Canadian artist derek Besant explores the theme of urban destruction; featuring reconstructed photographic images of building sites from around the globe. By capturing the various stages of excavation, Besant looks to display the role of redevelopment in exposing the layers of a city’s past.
INTuITION AND INGENuITYlighthouse, located on Kensington street, is catering for the art-loving geek throughout this month with their new exhibition. on show as part of Brighton science festival, ‘Intuition and Ingenuity’ celebrates the centenary anniversary of the birth of father of modern computing: Alan turing.

For me, it comes down to Kill List,
from Brighton based director and
writer Ben Wheatley, and We Need to
Talk About Kevin. The powerful film
from Lynne Ramsay, adapted from the
bestselling novel, is one of the most
tense, unsettling and brutal that I’ve
seen in many years; certainly my kind
of film. With compelling performances
from virtually every actor, especially
Tilda Swinton and newcomer Ezra
Miller in the title role, We Need to
Talk About Kevin, charts the exploits
of Swinton’s sadistic son, from his
birth to a particularly shocking trail
of destruction, which we witness in the
conclusion. Overall, this is a thought
provoking and an unforgettable film.
FilM
For this, my second contribution to BN1 Magazine, I’ve asked three of my Brighton based film-loving friends to sum-up their favourite films of 2011. By Wayne Imms
THE TrEE OF lIFE
Duke of York’s General Manager,
Jon Barrenechea
Whether this film is a masterpiece or
not, its release was the cinematic event
of 2011, a long-awaited movie from
the very un-prolific Terrence Malick,
30 years in the making. It moved
me, amazed me, made me remember,
and made me think. And I had more
arguments about it than any other film
in years. It gets better every time I see
it. An epic piece of art that could only
belong on the big screen.
13 ASSASSINS
Odeon Brighton Marketing
Manager, James Tully
13 Assassins, by Japanese Director
Takashi Miike, is a master class in
build up and pay-off. The story centres
on a band of misfits who draw a line in
the sand against a fearsome and cruel
dictator. A group of assassins hatch
a plan to attack him and his army in
an amazingly staged 45 minute fight
sequence that simply takes your breath
away with its inventiveness. Miike is
known more for his horror and comic
book violence, so it’s a revelation to
see him show such masterful restraint
here. Along with his upcoming Hara-
Kiri: Death of a Samurai, Miike has
created one of the greatest double bills
of all time. The best Samurai films
since Kurosawa.
KIll lIST
Sound Recordist of Elephant
Sounds, Kirstie Howell
For me, Kill List has to be the best
film of the year. Why? Because with
one fell swoop, it dismembers the
most unnerving beast known to little
Britain – the suburban existence.
It uses violence, not gratuitously,
but as a necessity, and keeps you
sweating uncomfortably on your toes
throughout the majority of the film.
Kill List skilfully delivers an ending,
which not only takes you completely
by surprise, it leaves you talking about
it for hours, in fact, I’m still thinking
about its ending, and I saw it months
ago. It’s a low budget film, which just
confirms what we all knew already
– there’s just no substitute for good
writing.
Wayne is the Creative director of The Space, which holds arts and film events. At Komedia on february 9th, the line-up of interviewees are oscar winning composer Rachel Portman and film distributor studio Canal’s Dan MacRae. While, at the duke of york’s, the space presents The Dark Crystal 30th Anniversary event with a screening of the film and very special guests. www.thespace.uk.com

the Bell
With the thought of never–ending gloom waving at you like a raging maniac it was a pleasant surprise to come across this hidden gem, tucked away off Blatchington Road, Hove, to raise our mood.
With so many pubs turning
into poncy wine bars
or expensive eateries it
was refreshing to see a
pub keeping to ‘the local’
traditions whilst offering
good honest food served
at reasonable prices with
healthy portions.
We decided on some
Tapas, a selection of four
to be precise. The list was
quite extensive and well
thought out with Prices
ranging from 1 dish at £5
to 3 dishes at £12.95. We
tucked into the smoked
jerk chicken kebabs, pork &
beef meatballs with chorizo
and salsa, chicken chorizo
croquettes and garlic tiger
prawns, which went down a
treat. Each Tapas selection
was well presented, bursting
with flavour and finesse.
Between the two of us we
struggled to finish all the
food so for £15.95 it is well
worth the price.
Whilst tucking into our
lovely meal we overheard
that the roasts were the
best they had in a long
time. We couldn’t give this
a miss. A few days later
we ventured down for the
essential Sunday fulfilment.
We weren’t disappointed.
I’ve had a lot of pub roasts
and this one fared well. The
food was plentifull, in fact
everyone was full by the
half way point. I chose the
lamb shank at a reasonable
£9.95, which melted away
from the bone giving a
delicate and rich taste. The
mixed roast priced at £10.50
had plenty of succulent
pork, moist turkey and
juicy beef, enough to solve
world famine to be exact!
Plus homemade Yorkshires
and cauliflower cheese are
always a winner in my eyes.
The potatoes could have
been crunchier on the skin
and the gravy a bit thicker,
but overall this was a nice
balance of meat, veg and
sides. If you have any room
for pudding there are some
nice homemade delights like
the banoffee pie or lemon
meringue, both with a
ginger biscuit base I believe.
The Bell is a charming
place with friendly locals
and laid back attitude,
complimented by its busy
kitchen. The chef was very
passionate about what he
does and explained the
importance of fine fresh
ingredients, sourced locally,
giving quality and value to
the customer. If you want a
real bargain check out the
other deals in the week,
including buy one burger,
get one for 5p! On Tuesdays
burgers cost just £8.50,
Thursdays it’s 25% off tapas
and a bottle of house wine
(minimal order of 4 tapas).
So what you waiting for?
Dive in for a pint and some
lovely grub!

Apparently she’d not been sacked, or
in prison, or even in rehab, well...I say
that; she’s been in Thailand and Viet-
nam, apparently with the view to going
on a 3 month detox. However on closer
interrogation she admits it turned out
to be more like, in her own words, a ‘3
month bender’. Apparently the owners,
Bill and Angi (not Jeff and Ruth as
erroneously reported last month!) gave
Emma a 3 month sabbatical and that,
dear reader, explains her absence, so
worry not!
Elsewhere, January has been an ab-
solute mad house of activity at BiGiAM
towers. Quite why I’m not entirely
sure but it seems like an increasingly
wide and wild range of activities and
adventures are on our planning list.

News? Well one of my favourite
bands, Phantom Limb, are playing
the Latest Music Bar on Saturday the
3rd March, a day before my birthday
(don’t buy me a drink, buy me a Kit
Kat). Actually looking at my events
diary I haven’t got much in there for
February. That’s not to say there isn’t
loads going on - there is... I just need
to find out what. In fact looking at my
diary it’s a bit depressing because I’m
planning things for the end of 2012 and
into 2013 already. I’m too old to see my
life whizzing past like this at such an
alarming pace; hell we’re hardly out
of 2011 and I’m looking too far forward
for comfort.
Ok, finally, one little free tip for all
artists and aspiring musicians out
there. Future copyrights are going
‘free’ which means all artists can pro-
tect their songs, film scripts, whatever,
from ‘theft’ and misuse without charge
(or any catches, as far as I can see) so
go to www.futurecopyright.com to
find out how.
Ok, need to go, got some plates to
spin, some panic to avoid, and I shall
be back next month with more tangible
Brighton gossip and, hopefully, con-
crete news of some exciting new events
and ventures which are on the boil
and will hopefully be fully cooked (as
opposed to half baked!) by the time I
next write.

If your favourite websites include
freecycle and ebay, you know the
exact location of the reduced aisle
in most supermarkets, and you’d
rather spend the morning at a car-
boot sale than churchill square, read
on! Living in Brighton can be steep,
right? Ridiculous rent, pricey pints
and the ever-increasing temptations,
from clubbing to cultural capers as
flyers are flaunted, and Facebook flirts
with our weaknesses. My revolving
reminder of festive Christmas and
New Year’s celebratory squandering
Bex anD the city
is a bank balance so miniscule, I
can’t even read it, and for the past
few weeks I have been contemplating
selling my bed.
While feeling spectacularly
poor at the beginning of January, I
decided that I hated about 90% of my
clothes. Of the 10% that I still liked,
5% were fancy dress costumes, so
apparently, not suitable for work. Of
the remaining 5%, there seemed to
be mountains of identical jeans and
black tops that screamed ‘DEAD’. I
needed retail therapy.
Your guide to Bargain Brighton (and who knows, maybe further a-field if there are any good deals on Trainline.com…….)
Now, rumour has that most
Brighton people’s idea of retail
heaven might be marching around
the posh shops in The Lanes, a
Topshop perusal, or even a soul-
destroying tussle in Primark. I
reached for the nearest bag for life,
filled it with pre-loved apparel and
headed to Brighton’s shopping mecca;
London Road.
Whether you’re new to Brighton
or, like me, an old-timer, you’re
probably familiar with the charity
shop clusters, and London Road is
the backdrop for one of Brighton’s
finest Charity shop collections.
Nestled among shops that refuse
to be expensive, the confusingly
‘boutique’ to the fabulously frowzy
are bursting with great threads for
less than the price of a pint. Designer
labels snuggle up to seventies
tracksuits, and vintage dresses long
to be worn again. There’s something
a bit magical about charity shops,
so help to keep them alive, and go
shopping!
Here’s my tip; for clothes and
accessories, London Road’s best
charity shop is Oxfam. Fab quality
threads, at perfect prices and lovely
staff with an eye for fashion.

the haPPy cell
Well here we are 2012, and the world hasn’t ended, as predicted. I am aware that change is afoot and there may even be a shift in consciousness in the air.By Jules Cloud
Or I may just be surrounded by
Brighton airy faeries? People seem
to be craving a different level of
satisfaction these days that they are
not achieving from a materialistic
or social level. A greater awareness
and openness to health is emerging,
with a focus on self-development
and spirituality as key to attaining
wholeness and belonging.
The Happy Cell on Davigdor Road,
Hove, was the brain child of Fash
Ghiaci who took over the old Legal &
General building, and it is now run
in partnership with his daughter,
Nicola. The Happy Cell system aims to
empower you through knowledge and
the understanding of emotion, your
health and your life.
Alongside this training there are all
sorts of classes, treatments, cooking
workshops and inspirational talks
including the fantastic deal of three
classes for £12 per week plus discounts
on treatments! There is literally
something for everyone. I chose to
attend ‘How Does it All Work?’ by
Fash, a Science-based talk providing
in-depth information on the way our
brains and bodies interact.
Fash’s own personal journey with
health problems, of both himself and
family members, led him to deeply
investigate the profound mind-body
connection. Once he reached certain
realisations he found it impossible
to believe that this material wasn’t
taught in schools! As his health went
from strength to strength he became
compelled to share his findings with
all he met whom he felt it would
benefit. Gradually more and more
people were learning this work
and freeing themselves from long-
term conditions ranging from low
platelet-count to panic attacks to ME.
Fash’s daughter, Nicola, was also on
her own journey and together they
furthered each other’s knowledge and
understanding, promoting the birth of
The Happy Cell in 2010.
I was warmly welcomed upon my
arrival, attending the first talk of
the day. Fash delivered ‘the Science
bit’ during the morning and he was
clearly walking the walk of his belief
system exuding calm, confidence and
self control, whilst giving us powerful
cellular knowledge. This Science-based
talk provides potentially life-changing
information on concepts such as
emotional addiction, adrenaline
junkies, the impact of stress on the
body, how we’re not as hard-wired
as we’ve been led to believe and how
simple, easy and accessible it is to
free yourself from your perceived
limitations –physical or emotional.
In the afternoon we entered the
‘Changing Room’ to take charge
of our unconscious minds! The
décor was relaxing and calm with
luxurious white couches to lie on.
bn1magazine.co.uk 43
This was where we were given the
key to unlock our inner potential.
Fash explained how to change your
mind, your body and your life. We
then observed a practical demo
and took part ourselves, when the
tools of transformation, along with
some homework were delivered and
accepted.
The result. A week later, huge
positive improvements permeated
into my more organised, integrated
life, with clearer communication to
attitude and more positive, inspired
ideals. I’ve always been big on the idea
of positive thinking and loved this
experience and place. It takes minimal
effort (and cost) with just some faith to
put a dent in any challenging doubt or
ignorance and gives maximum results.
Self awareness, kindness and CALM
is what we need to stop complaining
and reacting to the way situations
don’t meet our expectations, and to
release old habits and attachments
through an active change in our
beliefs and attitude. I do believe we
all have the same potential and our
mind is very clever at tricking us into
habits and behaviour patterns. I would
recommend this system to anyone, as
these small steps can create causes
and conditions for true health and
happiness.

skin, in their skin or even under their
skin. As such, it attracts the weird and
the wonderful and has established its
mark as one of the indelible highlights
of the Brighton arts scene. This year,
was no different: some of the world’s
best tattoo artists were in action, and
their booths were filled with those
eager to add a permanent reminder of
their visit. Judging by what was on
display, black tattoos seemed to be in-
Brighton tattoo convention
creasing in popularity, sometimes with
splashes of bright red and we are also
seeing the emergence of a number of
talented female tattoo artists, notably
Guen Douglas from Holland and Leena
Lumilampi from Finland who each
specialise in creating designs that are
very feminine in both their subject
matter and the softer colour palettes
they use. The biggest issue for many
ink aficionados seems to be what to do
when they’re completely filled up. And
judging by quite a few at the Conven-
tion, that time is fast approaching.
Love them or loathe them, there’s no
question tattoos have become a fashion
statement that’s here to stay! Images:
