  • Birdy Man - Tim Bat

    03/09/2012

  • Headcase - Touched Theatre - Brighton Fringe 2012

    11/05/2012

    Andy chatted with Beccy Smith and Darren East of Touched Theatre about their production, Headcase. It’s the first time anyone’s given a name to my furry microphone wind cover - from now on, it shall be kown as Gordon (more likely Brown, not the gofer). From the headcase website: Combining tabletop puppetry and object theatre with powerful dance and visual theatre, Headcase shares the real experiences of a made up, mixed up teenager as she struggles to come to terms with what’s going on inside her own head.

  • #22: Acampada Brighton

    25/05/2011

    I first noticed an encampment on the Old Stein yesterday. Today I spoke to Carlos Genova, a resident of the camp, about what it’s all about. It goes under several names including Spanish Revolution and Global Revolution - but I like the Twitter tag - #AcampadaBrighton (apparently this is going on in many countries across the world so you can just substitute Brighton with many other cities). In essence - it’s all about peace, giving and environmental responsibility. I wish them the very best of luck.

  • Kemble's Riot - Adrian Bunting - Brighton Festival Fringe 2011

    09/05/2011

    I speak to Adrian Bunting - playwrite and author of Kembles’s Riot which played at the Old Court House as part of the 2011 Fringe. On December 20, 1808, the original Covent Garden Theatre was destroyed by a fire. The cost of constructing and furnishing the new building, however, was so high that the management was forced to raise the prices. On the opening night, riots broke out during a performance of Macbeth and continued throughout the play…

    22/04/2011

    I met Sam on New Road last year - I was attracted by her superb opera style singing (which I could hear several streets away). I made the first part of the recording last year, and the second part of her singing just a few weeks ago in March 2011. I loved it - enjoy!

  • The Nonsense - Brighton Festival Fringe 2011

    21/03/2011

    Imagine working out continuously for 50 minutes while talking very loud, oh, and in front od an audience. Andrew Kazamia will be doing just this in The Nonsense, a play directed by his son, Dino Kamazia. This will be performed no less than 6 times at the Komedia throughout May. In this lively interview, Andrew and Dino gave some terrific insights into the story behind the play, and you can enjoy me struggling to pronounce Andrew’s surname too. Photo: Tilley Harris

  • #17: Giovanni sings Elvis

    02/10/2009

    I was in one of my favourite cafes this morning, La Gigo Gi, and found Giovanni, the owner, playing guitar and singing away - and he was good! I’ve known him for a few months now and recently recorded one of our Social Media White Noise podcasts there - where he made a brief appearance. By the way - his meatballs with pasta is one of the best I’ve ever tasted.
