We are are delighted that award winning musician and composer Andy Panayi
will be performing with us in this gig.

Music from the Sofa, is the title for Nigel Goss?s composition/band project. In the years it has run there have been gigs in churches, pubs, halls, Sussex barns, patches of grass, a yurt and at the Brunswick ? often in support of charity. Nigel?s compositions range from electronic/soundscapes, through crossover jazz and even pieces for church bells. Alongside the instrumentals he has composed many songs. People seem to want an identifiable genre for music.

An attempt has been made to comply with this though it has to said this is unreliable at best. There are then two more ?sitting down? related bands. Tightback Lawson is the title for the songs that can be said to be alternative pop with jazz and soul elements. Cushion the Blow is the band that performs the more folky, country, humorous and bittersweet songs. In our June showcase at the Brunswick we will perform Music from the Sofa crossover jazz pieces and follow with a Cushion the Blow set of country rock songs for which some of us will wear hats and maybe more dressing
up.

We might sneak in a track from our Tightback Lawson EP, due for release later this year. There are a couple of lockdown song videos that we will perform live on the night.

Siony Foulds is our talented vocalist giving life to Nigel?s songs.

There is a video of a Music from the Sofa jazz performance
Both bands have great local musicians who come from Eastbourne, Seaford and Brighton.

Description

The Brunswick has been transformed through an extensive refurbishment programme to become the premier music and arts venue in Hove. The owners are committed to providing quality, value for money and a friendly atmosphere.We believe that a pub is an essential part of any thriving community, and should be seen as a facility for the whole community. By encouraging local groups, we run a range of classes: acting, singing, painting, language, wine tasting; and have become a meeting place for a number of groups. With a large garden and a number of meeting rooms, we can offer space for most clubs, societies or social groups. If your looking for somewhere to host your book group, yoga class, dance class, debating club, and so on, give us a call, or better still, pop in. Support your local pub.

Built in the 1930’s, The Brunswick is a striking building with curved bays, turret roofs and brass crittall style windows. Much of the original paneling (the same as used in the Orient Express) has been rescued and restored, particularly in The Venue. Atmosphere and mood change as you move from the beautifully constructed sunny garden through the airy garden room to the bar (a fusion of the best of modern bar and traditional pub). Despite the high-tech sound and stage equipment, the music and arts Venue with its wood paneling, period lighting and fireplace retains a wonderfully cozy feel. Upstairs we have beautifully decorated rooms for meetings and private parties – see Function Room Hire

We offer a broad range of home cooked food every day. Accolades have included “Restaurant quality food at pub prices”; “The best Sunday Lunch in Brighton”; “As an American, I’m very critical of hamburgers – this is one of the best I’ve had anywhere.”
