with MIKE RAXWORTHY There’s a whole lot going on in HASTINGS this September and October - so much that I’ve had to leave Eastbourne out this time! On Friday September 16th, Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th you’ll find the Seafood and Wine Festival on the Stade in Hastings Old Town. Apart from stands selling local caught fish dishes and English wines, you’ll find a big marquee on the beach next to the Lifeboat Station which houses with a big bar selling real ales plus some really great live bands! MIKE RAXWORTHY Friday evening (Sept 16th) is launch party time - this year it’s Super-Ska Night with two superb big Ska bands: The 9 piece Mighty Sounds followed by The 10 piece TWO TONES band. Tickets are only £8 in advance, available from Hastings Information Centre in Aquila House on Hastings Seafront...and £10 on the door. Doors open at 7pm. with Saturday 17th: The fest opens at 11am and live music MIKE RAXWORTHY kicks off in the marquee at 12 noon with all-girl rockers Thee Jezabelles. There are 5 brilliant bands throughout the afternoon until 7pm. Highlights to catch are the Sam Calver Band at 3pm and Kat and Co at 4.30. Kat who’s from Tennessee is the real deal. The Hot Detroits at 6pm well worth waiting for too! Purchase a £1 armband in advance from Hastings Tourist Info office (£2 on the door) and you’ll get total access to the Festival site and Entertainment Marquee over the TWO AFTERNOONS to see nine live bands, as well as stuff for kids to do. Under 18’s free! Sunday 18th: The Jazz Breakfast - early birds can enjoy Liane Carroll and friends from 9.30am until 12 noon. Tickets are £15 (under 18’s £10) which includes Orange Juice, Tea or Coffee and a plate of savoury and sweet pastries. It’s very special and always a sell out - so book asap. Armband people can then enter the marquee from 12.30 to see a great afternoon of 4 more live bands until 7.30pm. Check out The Salts at 1.15 and The Hi-Fi Sneakers at 4.15. Blues Brothers and Soul Sisters finish the festival with a 90 minute show starting at 6pm. In Rye, the Rye Arts Festival runs from 17th September to 1st October, don't miss The Jazz Supper at The Mermaid on the 29th September, featuring David Silk & Friends plus vocalist Liz Fletcher exploring the world of original film scores. See the ad on page 3 for more details of the festival. Pub Stuff: The Jenny Lind in High Street, Old Town is always on track with their live music, offering a really good mix of local and out-of-town bands on Fridays from 8.30, Saturdays (relatively new idea at 6pm - proving very popular) and Sundays from 4pm. Highlights for me over the next two months will be: Pocketsize on Sunday September 25th at 4pm - Liz, lead vocals has a beautiful voice, a great country music flavour to her delivery. She actually once had a hit in the USA and is well worth a listen. Saturday 22 October at 6pm - Justin and the Argonauts - a personal favourite of mine - great musicians, they never fail to entertain! If you like funk - and lots of it - Mr Super Juice could be your thing! Lack of lead vocals might sometimes over-funk you though. See them on Saturday 29th October at 6pm. Free entrance. The Albion in George Street, Old Town offer something for every musical taste! For some bands that are that little bit special check out The Amazing Z Star Delta on Friday October 7th - Mick Wigfall & the Toxics on Friday October 14th (from Marseilles) and Bruise on Friday 21st October. Entrance is free on all these gigs! The Royal Standard in Hastings Old Town has Soul X Press at 9pm on Friday 21st October, a guaranteed free party night! The Stade Open Space in Hastings Old Town: October 15th is Hastings Bonfire Day - and night. This year, the 950th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, will be super special. Starting at 12 noon will be 3 local bands: 12 noon: Slam...1.15: The Kytes....3.00 The Kavemen. There’s a lot more too - including Guy making - drumming (no change there then?) - community circus - Norman and Saxon re-enactments - archery display - hog roast, mead and cider tent. Get in the swing of it and come dressed as Normans or Saxons! open from 10am 26 Find us online at www.goldentimes.co.uk
