It has been announced this week that Norman Cook is set to bring his Big Beach Boutique party back to Brighton. The council has set aside September the 4th and 5th for the DJ’s return. Be prepared to fork out the usual extortionate ticket price, listen to his mix of cheese hits [...]

Barak Obama’s moving in date is just around the corner and having captured a global audience with his indelible words “change can happen” there is an air of hope all over the world.

I don’t think I’ve been to the Jazz Place for nearly 10 years but this may just get me back through the doors. In February they’ve booked a DJ set from a key player in the UK’s early Electrofunk scene – Greg Wilson. He was last booked to play in Brighton by the Broadcast Loft [...]
