HOTSHOT PHOTOGRAPHER RETURNS
Following his brilliant ‘Hotshots’, our street style photographer Kevin ‘LomoKev’ Meredith releases his second book this month. Titled ’52 Photographic Projects’ he delves deeper into some of ideas of the wonderfully simple teaching of his debut and gets some of his photographic mates in to talk through some more. It’s full of Brighton photographers and friends of SOURCE, including Kevin Mason, Alex Bamford, Lisa Garner, Adam Bronkhorst and Ruby May Allcock. Don’t miss the book launch at new North Road café Add Colour from 6.30pm on Thursday 15th.

MAYDAYS IN JULY
Saturday 3rd is party time at the newly refurbished Metway Studios. Raising funds for their all-conquering show at the Edinburgh Festival this year, Brighton’s longest-running improvisational comedy troupe Maydays are putting on music, karaoke wheel of fortune, a raffle, themselves, and for the thirsty, a bar. The Adam Kidd band, Tom White and Holy Vessels are all set to play plus a few others, and all for free although donations are kinda the point of the thing, ya dig?

MANAGER MANAGES NOVEL NOMINATION
Brighton music industry mogul, manager of Fujiya and Miyagi, Martine McDonagh has now turned author, penning her first novel I Have Waited, You Have Come. It’s a sometimes sinister, psychological drama surrounding main character Rachel, the stalked turned stalker. Praised by The Guardian Unlimited as “An exquisitely crafted début novel set in a post-apocalyptic landscape”, it’s no wonder that McDonagh has been nominated for the People’s Book Prize for Fiction. It’s up to us the public to vote in the finalists, so grab yourselves a copy and get clicking here – peoplesbookprize.com.

SEASIDE ON THE SILVER SCREEN
Filmed, written and based in Brighton, Mark Jay’s feature film Dolphins is a gritty portrayal of Brighton’s yoof. It stars Karl Davies and Frank Harper, who’s no stranger to playing darker roles (Lock Stock, Football Factory) and features Brighton’s own indie hip kids Doll & The Kicks and a cameo from none other than Rodney Roots Manuva. A semi-improvised urban fairytale romance, situated amongst the gangs of our town – West Side Story anyone? We shall have to wait and see.

WORK AT PLAYGROUP
The venue still remains a mystery, but dates are set as Friday 13th to Sunday 15th August. These days festivals are much more culturally encompassing than just getting off your head watching some freaky band, and with this in mind Playgroup are proposing a weekend of art, acrobatics, comedy and cabaret – all powered by sustainable energy to boot, quite a tall order even for such legendary promoters. That’s where us punters come in – always wanted to have your own stall/tent/gig at a festival? Now you can, e-mail [email protected] your most outlandish, creative and daring ideas to get involved.

HERBERT’S HORROR HONOUR
For the horror-lit aficionado, no home library is complete without a selection of James Herbert novels – The Fog, The Rats and the like – he’s sold 50 million of them. They were teenage rites of passage for us, what with their scary-as-fuck narrative and the added bonus of some sex-based stuff to boot (‘The Fog’, we recall, had lesbian lust and a teacher getting his cock cut off with some garden shears). Well now the Queen’s finally caught up with Herbart’s prodigious output and given him an OBE. The reason we mention it? James lives here – good work, local horror fella!
