Exploring the Edge
Earlier this week, I went along to the Hastings Community Network’s Culture Exchanges meeting at The Jerwood, exploring art and culture in Hastings and St Leonards-on-Sea – and one of the ideas as to how art could be brought to a wider community was ‘more art in public spaces – such as car parks, supermarkets and pubs’. The Edge, a newly formed collective of artists currently exhibiting at Hastings Station, agree 100% with this suggestion, ‘hoping to continue showing photography in unexpected places’. HOT’s Zelly Restorick went along to The Station Gallery to see the different interpretations of ‘Edge’.

Brian’s ride to London
A poignant true story for horse lovers everywhere! Waiting at the hospital a few weeks ago, HOT’s Zelly Restorick admired the jaunty tartan trousers of the man sitting next to her; they ended up chatting and the man, Brian Cutler, told her a story from his youth, which touched her heart to the core. Here is Brian’s account of what happened – and the recent synchronistic finale.
Eddi Reader comes to St Mary in the Castle
Eddi Reader singing the line ‘It’s got to be perfect’ from Fairgound Attraction’s hit single Perfect had a profound impact on my life in 1989, when it was the UK number one single, writes HOT’s Zelly Restorick. I was engaged to be married – and the song seemed to highlight how things between my fiancé and me were anything but perfect; I ended the engagement and have subsequently experienced no regret. Much like my relationship, Fairground Attraction hit the heights and then dissolved, but singing, song-writing and musical collaboration have continued to be a central theme in Eddi Reader’s life.
