To mark the 50th Anniversary of the Sexual Offences Act and the subsequent decriminalisation of homosexuality, Broadcaster and Gay Rights campaigner Simon Fanshawe charts the turbulent story of Brighton’s gay people over the last five decades – in Brighton: 50 Years of Gay.
The second edition of Brighton’s LGBTQ+ history club takes place at The Brighton Museum & Art Gallery on Sunday, October 16 starting at 3pm.
RadioReverb, the independent community radio station, has once again staged a successful fund-raising weekend. In a mammoth 52 hours of non-stop live broadcasting to celebrate eight years on the air, the station has so far raised almost £3,000 over the Reverbathon weekend, a substantial increase on the £2,000 raised last year.
RadioReverb invited people to check out their new studios in Brighton last month, to have a drink, a chat and see their new facilities. RadioReverb is one of the largest voluntary organisation in Brighton with more than 100 volunteers working on programmes and behind the scenes. They have no paid staff to manage or run the station.
