Today's idea - Fionn Regan at Komedia

Today, for fans of Irish singer-songwriters with curly hair, or for those also interested in Mercury Music Prize winners whose songs have appeared on Grey's Anatomy, Nearly Famous, and Skins, Fionn Regan comes to Komedia. In follow-up to debut album 'The End of History' he brings latest curiosity 'The Shadow of an Empire'. Komedia discusses his mixture of witty vignettes and complex soul-searching, which translates in musical terms to influences such as Bob Dylan and Neil Young.

The show's at 7:30pm, and tickets are £8 which can be booked online.

This video's from his first album, but you get the gist: man, guitar, rather nice music.

Today's idea - Take the kids to 'Music for Aadvarks'

One for the kids today. Most people are won over by animals such as Gruffalos and Aardvarks, and so if I was small (well, 6 months - 5 years) I would much like to go to this. It's a musical cacophony of 'fun musical activities' including singing, dancing, musical story-telling and instrumental jam sessions run by UK Aardvarks. It's quite Brighton-esque (depending on your view of the brighton-esque of course) focusing on musical influences of rock, pop, indie, folk and blues.

Class locations vary - today's class is in Hove with varying times from 10am-1:45pm, and other classes are held in Hove (wednesday), Patcham (Thursdays) and Brighton (Fridays). Find the list on the UK Aardvarks site.

Each class is 45 minutes and costs £4.40 for a drop in - and half-price for attending siblings over 6 months, or free for the under 6 month child variety. If you want to attend email emily@uk-aardvarks.co.uk or phone 07886 927081.

Alternatively if singing isn't your thing take the family T-Shirt making at the Brighton Museum.
