CINEMA - SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN (12A) 8:00pm @ All Saints Centre

Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt, Kristin Scott Thomas

Directed by Lasse Hallstrom

A Feel-good British romantic comedy from Lasse Halstrom, director of CHOCOLAT, and the screenwriter of SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE.
When Britain's leading fisheries expert (Ewan McGregor) is approached by a consultant (Emily Blunt) to help realise a sheikh's vision of bringing the sport of fly-fishing to the desert, he immediately thinks the project is both absurd and unachievable. But when the Prime Minister's overzealous press secretary (Kristin Scott Thomas) latches on to it as a "good will" story, this unlikely team will put it all on the line and embark on an upstream journey of faith and fish to prove the�impossible, possible.

Brighton-based band The Dials fuse psychedelia, 60's garage, surf and country into a whole new inimitable form. A blistering live act, the band were voted 'best gig' at Canada's NXNE music industry showcase and were winners of the PRS Award for New Music.

'In possession of a slew of a great 60's records with well-thumbed sleeves, Brighton's Dials are rarely shy when it comes to acknowledging their sources. This second album glides effortlessly between the harmonic swoon of The Byrds ('Watch her walk away'), the poppier elements of the Velvets (the Farfisa stab of 'NY Radio') and the child-like psych of Syd Barret's Pink Floyd ('Good Morning Mr Magpie'). All are despatched with brio and genuine affection for every genre that crosses their radar' Terry Stanton, Uncut

'I know its one of those albums I'm going to treasure for a long long time' Mark Lammar, BBC Radio 2

Many knowledgeable heads nod sagely in their direction; Gideon Coe and Mark Lamarr are fans, and now having heard their album, I understand why.........a great band' Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2

Lewes Skeptics in the Pub - Mark Stevenson 8:00pm @ The Elephant and Castle

An Optimist's Tour of the Future
Mark Stevenson has been to the future a few years ahead of the rest of us � and came back believing we still have everything to play for. His voyage of discovery took him to Boston to visit a robot with mood swings, to an underwater cabinet meeting in the Indian Ocean, and Australia to question the Outback�s smartest farmer, had his genome profiled, and glimpsed the next stage of human evolution � then he tried to make sense of what�s in store.

The result was An Optimist�s Tour of the Future, which is finding fans from schoolchildren through to Nobel Peace Prize winners. Mark will talk of the future of humanity and how technology will help remedy some of these problems.

Mark combines two careers � one as a successful writer and comedian and as co-founder and director of the cultural learning agency Flow Associates and the science communication agency ReAgency, Roving Learner at The Age of Smart, a fellow of the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce and Nibmaster General for the Ministry of Stories.

The Toy Hearts +The Jamie Freeman Agreement + Early Ghost 7:30pm @ All Saints Centre

The Toy Hearts are one of the UK's hottest acoustic acts right now, their style of music neatly placing them at the forefront of the resurgence of interest in folk and Americana music. 2010 saw this hard working band touring across the UK, Europe and the USA. The culmination of their work so far being the national release of their third album "Femme Fatale" in September, which was recorded in Nashville TN earlier in the year. Fronted by sisters Hannah (mandolin) and Sophia (guitar), accompanied by banjo/dobro, bass and fiddle, the band draws upon the genres of Bluegrass, Western Swing and Gypsy Jazz for inspiration. By combining original songwriting, sweet sister harmonies, hard driving rhythms and energetic performances, The Toy Hearts have developed a truly unique sound that leaves their audiences breathless and ready for more!
