Hubbard’s Cupboard
Hastings’ blues supremo Roger Hubbard will be in concert once again at the Kino-Teatr, Norman Road, St. Leonards, Friday March 3 at 7.30pm. He’ll be playing his own songs and performing either solo or with accompaniment from Richard Studholme on bass guitar and Bruce Allen on drums. The support act is Yoshika Colwell. Modestly, Roger says it’s an event “not to be missed” so book early.

Two Equals Three
We are reliably informed that if you visit Hastings Arts Forum on the St Leonards seafront from mid-February to mid-March, you’ll find an exhibition in two parts by South Coast Artists (SoCo) which is “vibrant and thought provoking”. The theme of the shows is THREE and, somewhat confusingly, it’s divided into two parts “because of the theme’s popularity amongst the membership”. THREE Part I runs from 14-26 February. THREE Part II runs from 28 February – 12 March, Tuesday – Sunday, 11.00am-5.00pm.
All at the Gallery, 20 Marine Court, St Leonards . www.hastingsartsforum.co.uk.

Beans On Toast, aka British folk singer Jay McAllister, will play Hastings as part of his Back on The Road tour. Wikipedia tells us that McAllister hails from Braintree, Essex, and “rose to prominence out of the UK folk scene in 2005. His songs often centre around the topics of politics, drugs and love”.
