Yes, I know I’m always hanging around Pavilion gardens and the last episode was from Pavilion Gardens but I’ve been trying to interview this guy for ages. Sitar Man, also know as Nelly Mystic Warrior has been playing the sitar since about 2005, after a trip to India. He also has a new project, Wavehead, featuring Electronica Dance Music. Entrancing!

Another mesmerising treat here with Didgeridoo, Hang Drum and Drums played to perfection. We are so lucky to have folks like this performing publicly and freely in Brighton. Rowan and the band are also involved in the Sacred Ecstasy Trance Dance event.

In June 2007, to the anger of many Brighton residents, developers arrived on land next to Anston House, Preston Road, Brighton and bulldozed about ten mature oaks and copper beeches which had Tree Protection Orders.
Soon afterwards, protesters set up camp on the land. I spoke to Colin West and Sandra Dunne, 2 of the protesters, to get their views.

Mischa Hewitt (http://www.lowcarbon.co.uk/) takes Andy on a tour of the Brighton Earthship.
Imagine a building that heats itself during the winter, cools itself during the summer, deals with it’s own waste, collects all the water it needs from the environment, is made from old car tyres, and looks beautiful - that’s an earthship.
You can see some great pictures of the Brighton Earthship at http://www.lowcarbon.co.uk/eb.html.

Meet a guy who regularly performs a three point turn - with an atom! Learn how to measure the charge separation in a neutron - and change the course of String Theory. Hear about a technology that could fly you from Tokyo to New York in under two hours.
All this happened at the University of Sussex in their Ingenious event where the exciting world of science and research was opened for all to see.
