Adam Green was good - if you like that sort of thing. His surreal lyrics, kooky observations, ditties and vocal meanderings to the low-fi jigs and strummings of his backers, The Gnomes, were convincing. But his act - and it was an act - was less so. His
Bravo to all who were involved in this year's alternative panto, A-Ladd-in. The after-show collections raised the grand sum of £1,770 which was equally split between Spectrum, the LGBT Community Forum and Sussex Beacon. Spectrum would like to extend its

What on earth is Gloria Wheatcroft of the "Inner-city wildlife concern" going on about? (Letters, February 1). She doesn't mind domestic cats "playing" with mice. Does she not know domestic cats torture and kill about 250 million songbirds in our country
I agree with Robert Oliver (Letters, February 5) that Tesco should open a branch in Churchill Square. As we old Brightonians recall, Tesco did have a two-floor store in the old Churchill Square for 20 years in the Eighties. Through the years, shops closed

I would like to sing the praises of the NHS and the hard-worked and dedicated staff of our hospitals. In November, I was admitted to Seaford 2 Ward at Eastbourne District General Hospital for a hip replacement operation. From the time I was admitted until
This year could bring you success and prosperity - but you might have to scrabble around in the dust to get it. Today is the first day of the Chinese year of the rooster and is predicted to be a time when people may have to work hard to get what they

Crawley has now thrown down a challenge to Brighton and Hove with its imaginative town centre development. This modern, new town will go ahead with its plans, unlike our city of plans and little action. This is all about who is the top town/city in Central
The location of a park-and-ride at Braypool need not be as detrimental as some correspondents suggest. Given the potential loss of six homes at Patcham Court Farm, I favour Braypool if it is designed to minimise environmental impact and maintain the present
Eastbourne Borough have boosted their squad with the permanent signing of Yeovil Town striker Yemi Odubade. The 20-year-old joined Yeovil last summer from County League side Eastbourne Town, where he had netted 33 goals in the 2003-04 season. He made
