Indian classical and jazz musicians celebrate Mandela at St Mary’s
Maestro Deepak Ram will celebrate classical Indian composition with bansuri flute and tabla player Manjeet Singh Rasiya at St Mary in the Castle next week. In the second half, they will also be accompanied by Terry Pack on double bass, Andy Williams on acoustic guitar and Nana Tsiboe on percussion for a memorable programme of jazz fusion that echoes a millennium concert given on Robben Island in honour of Nelson Mandela, writes HOT’s Chris Cormack.
Fishing boats and seagulls, Hull and Hastings
HOT reporter Joe Fearn lived in Hull from 1990 to 1993 when studying philosophy at Hull University. He has recently moved back to Hull after four years in both St Leonards and Hastings. Here Joe compares life in North Humberside then and now, and also compares Hull to life in East Sussex.
Farsighted United Excited
Speculation continues through the summer about the signings of various players, and for the players and supporters of Hastings United, this is quite usual. HOT’s Liam Willis, now also Hastings United Program Editor, rounds up a few of the developments at Hastings United Football Club.
Making space and light: Ian Francis at Gill Gallery
Ian Francis modestly describes his current exhibition as a ‘making space in the studio’ sale, but this really doesn’t do justice to a display of paintings and stained glass which is guaranteed to delight and raise the spirit. HOT reporter Cathy Simpson attended the preview at the weekend.
Taking our cultural bearings
Although Hastings failed to make the City of Culture 2017 shortlist, can this short-lived initiative prove the catalyst for boosting the town’s image as a cultural centre? A follow-up meeting on Monday may provide the answer, writes Nick Terdre.
Taking a stand for vegan cakes
One’s not a vegan and neither has a diploma in baking. But if you want a tasty vegan or gluten-free cake, 1066 Cake Stand’s Kevin Young and Shelley Feldman are the bakers to go to. Usually to be found in their shop opposite Morrison’s or weekly stall in Hastings market, they’ll be offering their wares, as well as their second recipe book, at St Leonards Festival on Saturday. Nick Terdre met them.
Rock Icons
Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, The Who and Jimi Hendrix are all temporarily residing on Norman Road. Icons now, they weren’t back in the 1960s, as they started off on their strasophere-defying career paths. But icons need images and images need photographers -and these photographers were contemporaries of their subjects; friends, hanging out, taking photos, up close and personal. And as the rock scene took off, the artists’ images were in great demand – and still are. HOT reporter Lauris Morgan-Griffiths went to remind herself of those days and these, now, Rock Icons – the photographers and the rock stars.
