SUMMARY:Mary Portas
DESCRIPTION:Mary Portas: It’s the 1990s: Britpop is dominating the charts\, Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell are on the cover of every glossy magazine and British fashion is ripe for reinvention. Leading the charge is a 20-something Mary Portas who has been brought in to revitalise the department store Harvey Nichols\, at the time more likely to be associated with dowagers than daring designers. \nWith two babies at home\, a sceptical\, all-male senior management team to impress\, and pressure to bring in new brands and customers\, Mary steps into a world she doesn’t fully understand. At first it shows\, but that vulnerability quickly reveals itself as vision. \nBy the millennium\, the store would be renowned for its outrageous\, headline-grabbing\, traffic-stopping window displays; patronage by style icon Lady Di and bolly-swigging duo Patsy and Edina of the iconic sitcom Ab Fab – no longer fusty old Harvey Nicols but Harvey Nicks\, daaarling! \nPart memoir\, part manifesto for business as a creative act\, I Shop\, Therefore I Am is the story of how she did it.

SUMMARY:Fuzzy Lights
DESCRIPTION:Melting Vinyl presents\nFuzzy Lights + special guests at The Rossi Bar\, Brighton\non Saturday 26th September\nDoors 6.30pm – 9.30pm (early show)\nTicket prices: £14 adv/ £16 on the door\nStanding\nAge restrictions – 18+ \nCambridge’s acclaimed psych-folk quintet Fuzzy Lights return with their fifth album ‘Fen Creatures’\, set for release in November via Meadows. Following 2021’s critically lauded ‘Burials’\, the band have created their most conceptually ambitious work to date – a meditation on environmental crisis that uses the folklore and history of East Anglia as a lens to examine humanity’s fractured relationship with the natural world. \nMusically\, the quintet\, Rachel Watkins (vocals/violin)\, Xavier Watkins (guitar/electronics)\, Chris Rogers (guitar)\, Daniel Carney (bass)\, and Mark Blay (drums)\, have pushed deeper into experimental drone territories while maintaining the crystalline folk sensibilities that have become their signature. The result is their most atmospheric and immersive work to date\, with vast sonic landscapes that mirror the fenland geography they’re documenting. \n“…the musical battle between the fuzzy and the light makes Fuzzy Lights special.”\nMOJO ★★★★\n“…a simmering\, sinister undercurrent which often explodes with apocalyptic fervour.”\nSHINDIG ★★★★\n“Outstanding. A beguiling\, brilliant second LP from the Fenlands band. Like the Dirty Three meeting Low…” UNCUT ★★★★

SUMMARY:The Presence of Absence
DESCRIPTION:The Presence of Absence: An upholsterer\, a contemporary surrealist\, a painter and a photographer will come together for a two-week interactive exhibition at Brighton’s Regency Townhouse in September 2026. \n“Your absence is a presence. Who knew an empty space could take up so much room.” Jacqueline Simon Gunn \nIt began with an empty chair\, that holds the narrative of those who once sat in it and the comfort or pain that represents; that the absence of someone is as real and as meaningful as their presence. At the heart of this exhibition are 4 vintage chairs; a collaboration between Frances Bloomfield and Emily Beaumont. The chairs will explore the concepts of memory\,\nhealing\, secrets and retreat. \n“A chair replaces the presence of someone by holding their absence.” Doris Salcedo \n“Influenced by Jean-Paul Sartre’s study on Being and Nothingness\, we wanted to explore the concept that absence is a very real and substantial being.” Frances Bloomfield \nJo Hathaway’s work on memory and reflection bring colour and light and the internal\, abstract experience of the theme; Nick Bowman’s photographs each tell their own story of light\, nature and the impact of revelation and obscurity\, alongside additional work by Frances Bloomfield and Emily Beaumont. The exhibition invites you to be part of the visual conversation between the artists\, about how to interpret individual experiences of the past\, present and future through the space we leave behind and the memories it holds of us – whether it involves happiness\, sadness\, joy\, loss\, beauty\, grief or hope. Viewers are encouraged to be actively involved by discovering secrets concealed around the space and by leaving their own memories and experiences which will become part of the exhibition. \n“What we are trying to do is to explore how everyday objects can directly impact on our lives and help us to navigate our future and consider the huge gaps that we all leave behind\, no matter who or where we are.”

The band’s forthcoming project is undoubtedly the start of a new era\, taking on board a fresh creative process to create arguably their most forward thinking work to date. \nWhen it comes to live\, the next year will see Elephant Kind introduced to a totally new audience\, with a whole new country of fans to engage with. As one of the country’s definitive alternative outfits they’re also a go-to support for huge international talent\, touring with the\nlikes of The XX and Franz Ferdinand. This huge presence in Southeast Asia is now starting to translate even more globally with the band’s move to the UK\, something that ignites a fire in Elephant Kind and what will make the next 12 months so exciting.
