And here we go, the traditional mass photo dump for Brighton & Hove Pride - Official Page parade, 2024, probably the largest we can remember! Well done to everyone who took part. Apart from a tiny bit of 🌧️ - it was REALLY humid. And given that the parade started at Hove Lawns at 11am, the last of the float (Amex) - didn't arrive at Preston Circus till 2.30pm. So a lot of sore 🐾

Happy Brighton & Hove Pride - Official Page y'all!!! The weather's looking good for the afternoon🤞And to help with the celebrations, the last bit of Preston Park not behind a giant wall, was being filled up with traveller's caravans eager to join in the fun the last time we looked. So if anyone needs a drive tarmacking, while they're in the park drunkenly stumbling along, whilst blowing a whistle - you know where to go 🤣 Stay safe out there.....⛑️

In these difficult times, we strive to offer a balanced view of the world. Where else would you hear a song about the end of the world by Ghost 👻 followed by Optimistic by Sounds of Blackness? Personally, we can't praise the former enough; the new single is as hooky 🎣 as a fisherman landing a mackerel 🐟 But we do think he's a bit overdressed for Doomsday; we'd be more inclined to go for cargos & a t-shirt - more time to get absolutely bladdered🍷 But what do we know, we're slobs 😉

We apologise for the REALLY annoying interruptions to our service. This is once again, caused by our internet provider, Virgin Media who are hopeless 😡

It was on this day, in 2021, that we started our first test transmissions on DAB+ in Brighton. So I guess that makes us a toddler really in radio terms; still finding our way in the world & eager to try new things, whilst being guided by the past. Thanks for being with us & here's to more stuff 😁

Twas the night before Christmas,
The picture here is a litmus,
The Santas in flight, the mouse is alright, as there's a nice wedge of cheese right in sight!
Festive Felicitations & Yuletide How Ya Doins' from us all at big beat brighton. Here's to more in 24!

A very Happy 50th Birthday to Commercial Radio in the UK. It was on this day in 1973, LBC, a News/ Talk station launched in Gough Square in London, EC4; here's a picture of Communications House, where its studios were based. Though LBC is still going strong, sadly, many of the stations from the 70s, 80s & 90s no longer exist, having been subsumed into National networks. But in their place, a whole load of new stations have appeared, serving all sorts of different audiences, including www.bigbeatbrighton.co.uk. here's to at least another 50 years of commercial radio!

03/08/2023

Well those pesky critters from GTR may have cancelled all our trains on Saturday, but are we going to let that stop us partying & celebrating diversity? NOOOOOO!!! So we've gone all 'Fabuloso Summer of Love' at Big Beat Brighton Put your hands in the air, like ya just don't care & please welcome new choons from: Belters Only feat Jazzy, Camelphat & London Grammar, David Guetta feat Morten, Jessie Ware & Roisin Murphy & Calvin Harris.

https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/23681090.brighton-pride-trains-cancelled-travel-chaos-expected/ Not great news, if it turns out to be true 😡

Festivalgoers attending Brighton Pride will face travel chaos with all rail services to the city set to be suspended.

06/07/2023

It's a Thursday & it's time to ask "What's, in that box?" Some damn fine new choonage, that's what!!! So please enjoy an excellent return from Blur, alongside Nothing But Thieves, Dua Lipa, The Snuts, Jorja Smith, The Lathums & Alison Goldfrapp After her fantastic gig at The De La Warr Pavilion last year, we are loving her new album & the fact she could out - stare a very starey thing in starey-land!

Happy 75th birthday NHS. We ❤️ you!

25/06/2023

It's official, Brighton is the most congested city outside London, with the A2010 from West Street to Old Shoreham road being the 2nd busiest in the country 🤯 To soothe those furrowed brows, please enjoy our new playlist additions from the Foos, Venbee X Rudimental, Kasabian, Depeche Mode, Jerry Folk, Dominic Fike, Palace & clearly overwhelmed by hitting our airwaves, Aiste. We'll be cueing up those choons, to help you beat the queues!

21/06/2023

Happy Summer Solstice to one & all!!! 10 days of stasis & it's downhill from there 😂 And here we are at Stonehenge this morning with the BBB team; we have to say, David Cameron has put on a few pounds. I'm the one holding Trump; those Wegovy pills have worked a treat....

Really excited to be at the Thezapclub Brighton reunion. Already packed & sweaty. Bringing it back to the 90s, 00s, but erm, not now!

01/04/2023

If you've forgotten you're running tomorrow, here's a gentle reminder 😉 Good luck! If you're not, but planning on traveling, there are loads of road closures & changes to bus services. For the former, here's a handy link: https://www.brightonmarathonweekend.co.uk/latest-news/brighton-marathon-weekend-road-closures

Happy Trans Visibility Day Y'all - however you identify 🙂

30/03/2023

We are bang up for a bit of this. All in aid of a local su***de prevention charity. We've bagged ours, but if you want to go, you'd better be quick, as 90% of tickets have gone in an hour. Check out Skiddle for tix. Oi, oi!

24/02/2023

What a great start to 2023, musically speaking. The sistas in particular are in full effect. So please welcome to the playlist: Alison Goldfrapp, Beabadoobee, Miley Cyrus, Mimi Webb & putting her feet up, before her gig at The Dome on 13th May, it's Arlo Parks. Fill yer female - related musical boots at www.bigbeatbrighton.co.uk

15/02/2023

Northern lass Billie Marten graces our airwaves for the first time this week, with her cool - as - a - cucumber single, 'This Is How We Move'. Sounding like a young Beth Orton/ Carole King, she'd win a laid-back competition hands down with a chaise lounge. And she loves Alpacas; so much so, she wants to buy one. And who can blame her; with those pouting lips, it puts Posh Spice to shame, without a filler in sight!

13/02/2023

And as we come to an end of World Radio Day, we'd like to send our best wishes to radios everywhere. We wouldn't be where we are today without you! Apart from online, obvs.

12/02/2023

Well done Wet Leg for a double whammy of Brit Awards: Best New Artists & Best British Band. Not bad for a duo from the IOW! We've added Angelica to the playlist & to celebrate, we're cracking open a packet of IOW Garlic Farm's tasty chilli & garlic Pork Scratchings. But erm, we're not entirely convinced the girls would approve.....

08/01/2023

We're currently having major issues at our transmitter site at Sussex Heights, so are off air on DAB in Brighton. The tech team will be attending shortly, with some gaffer tape, wires & a fuse; we apologise for loss of service. We're still available online & via speaker.

22/12/2022

Twas a night when the ghoulies did bite & Chelsea ran, in terror & fright; but enough about Graham Potter's career. We've added some brand spanking, spooktaculor songs to our playlist; please enjoy freshly laid tunnage from the likes of Sam Smith, Artic Monkeys, Klangkarussel, Paramore, Lizzo, Venbee, Beyonce & Wet Leg. And pictured here, German band 'Tuys', weighing up whether to go trick or treating or not, before deciding to stay in with a good film & a bottle of wine🍷. Yay!

21/10/2022

Happy Local Radio Day y'all!!! 📻🎆 And to celebrate, here's a picture from the top of the Big Beat Brighton Tower of Power - Sussex Heights. As well as having an amazing view, it's also home to some Peregrine Falcons. Aside from being beautiful birds, they can fly up to 242 mph. Wow - that's faster than the country changes Prime Ministers!
