I have never seen Brighton seafront as busy as it’s been this weekend. Summery weather has made a sudden arrival, it’s a bank holiday, and everyone wants a piece of it. I feel like I’ve been at a festival all weekend, with the glorious luxury of my own wonderful bed to go home to.
And I have been. The Brighton Festival started this weekend, as did the Fringe. Brighton Festival is the biggest arts festival in England, and the Fringe is the second largest in the world. Woo hoo.
I’ve already been to the Children’s Parade and the beach is awash with buskers, sunbathers and the sweet smell of illicit barbecues.
Last night I went to my first Silent Disco. Hooray for Silent Discos.
It was absolutely phantasmagorical and I danced my fabulous pants off. I got home at 3am, after some post-dancing drinks, happy as Larry and all of that.
Every club in the world should run silently. Why? You can choose between DJs, you can set your own volume level, you can remove the headphones when you want to talk, and, apart from some out of tune sing alongs, and a wee bit of raucous cheering, noise pollution issues are well sorted. Woo hoo. Woo hoo. Woo hoo!
The sunny weather does have one downside. It seems that the BNP like it too. Last weekend we saw a BNP barbecue on Hove beach, and today a rather unlovely group of English Nazi’s were taking a stroll along the ‘Under the Cliff Walk’; topless men with scary tattoos. Let’s forget about them for now.
It’s sunny and I’m seeing four live bands tonight. Did I say 'Woo hoo'?!

A Bit of a Gig Blog
I've seen hundreds of bands in tiny venues. Some go on to headline festivals. A greater number never find their way out of the fleapits. Many are bloody brilliant. I love going to gigs. When I get it together, I sometimes rave about good gigs here.

Of course, having racist tattoos and socialising with other people with the same does not make you a racist. I have a tattoo that states, "I shot JR” but I am no longer a fan of the TV program Dallas. Over time, we all mellow and come to see the swastika on our foreheads as out of step with our feelings and potentially limiting in the job market.
Perhaps the next time you seen these rambling nazis you should ask them if they live in Brighton for the popular gay scene. Then you will be able to judge the accuracy of their tattoos.
