A little more notice this time (only just) for this Sunday's Rockpreneurs Competition

The Haunt
10 Pool Valley
Brighton, BN1 1NJ

This Sunday 5th June, the day after the Kemptown festival (when the sun always shines), Mybandtv are hosting the semi-final of their Rockpreneurs competition at The Haunt.



Created to provide new bands with a showcase for their talent, the top ten semi-finalists nominated via public voting will be given the opportunity to perform three tracks live, which will be filmed for further voting after the event. Once the final three have been chosen they will be taken on a lemon bus to meet the Rockpreneurs who will decide on the winner. 

The winners will receive an amazing prize, consisting of the chance to produce a single professionally, digital distribution, production of a promo video, radio play and interviews with Juice FM, Brighton and Hove Community radio and Radio Reverb, a professional photo shoot from Studio 27 and free specialist business and legal advice from Independent Label Scheme.


The bands that have made it through to this Sunday are: Birdeatsbaby, Echo Rain, Liquid Fuse, The Beautiful Word, Justice Force Five, The Doppler Shift, Imma, Subliminals, The Rumours, Killing Vegas.

The show will be presented by the Juice FM breakfast team Guy and Andrea while a DJ collective will be bringing their brand of modern and classic soul and funk to the decks to keep the party buzzing.

Watch out for the videos of the bands, which will be posted on mybandtv website for public voting from Mon 20th June – Sun 7th August 2011.   The final three will be announced Mon 8th Aug.

Going Out for a Pop-up Restaurant


The Fringe Pop-up Restaurant
Whitecross Street BN1 4FA
Tel: 07553 819342

There's nothing like falling out with the person you were planning to have a jolly evening with to start the night on a wrong footing.  So with a begrudging companion, slightly late, a little harassed and regretting my choice of £7 fuchsia wedges from New Look (my own nod to the seventies), the pair of us arrive.

Going Out for some wall art

Going Out for some wall art

With May upon us, how quickly did that happen?  Visitors to Brighton will be bombarded with art and culture literally from every angle, in every form and a great deal of it for free.  This is all good and with so much to look out for I thought I'd bring you some new wall art that has recently sprung up to look upwards at.  The latter I watched develop over a series of days, in part de-mystifying the impressive nature of art on such a large scale, in part further adding to its appeal.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,

"To talk of many things:

Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--


And why the sea is boiling hot--

And whether pigs have wings."
