As Brighton enjoys it's summer, I speak to Dr Kerryn Greive, Scientific Affairs Manager of SunSense UK about the dangers and risks of UV exposure and tanning.

We talk about the changes that sunbed and sun tanning and sunburn make to the skin and the links to skin cancer. We also talk about how to best protect oneself against the dangers of the sun.

Ahead of their grand launch event, I spoke to the co-founder of Heart Venture - a friendship and dating agency for people with learning disabilities in Brighton and Hove.

Inspired by her son Daniel who featured on the Channel 4 show The Undateables, the agency was set up due to the lack of any other such dating agencies in the area.

We speak about how it works and future planned events as the team work on bringing a first of a kind new service to Brighton and Hove.

On this week's New at 2 I chatted with Chichester based singer-songwriter Ben Harvey.

Ben has already released 2 EPS - the second of which went straight into the top 50 in the iTunes singer songwriter charts when it was released in 2014. His single Think About You [released 18th June 2015] was named Single of The Week by Fortitude Magazine in the lead up to its release.

We talk about his music, his brand new single and his Wallace and Gromit inspired music video!

Ahead of their shows at this year's Brighton Fringe, I speak to Conor from acclaimed Irish comedy sketch group Foil Arms and Hog.

We chat about their current UK tour, their work on radio and TV, their 6 sold out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and about just how cosy three lads on tour can get with one another!

I catch up with the eclectic musician Duke Special ahead of his Brighton leg of his UK and Ireland tour to celebrate the release of his new studio album. That album Look Out Machines was described by Q magazine as “Sumptuous, symphonic pop anthem, courtesy of dreadlocked Irishman who sounds like The Flaming Lips crossed with Rufus

Wainwright”.

We speak about his musical inspirations, his new album, his eclectic work [which is as diverse as writing the theme tune for the Irish Sesame Street to writing the music for and appearing in Deborah Warner’s critically acclaimed 2009 production of Bertolt Brecht’s ‘Mother Courage and Her Children’ at London’s National Theatre] and his candid take on new music.

On this week's New at 2 I chatted with Bristol based project Communion. They've been working together and making music since 2014 and have already gained friends in high places in the guise of music producer Robert L Smith who is an Oscar winning, Grammy nominated producer who’s worked with the likes of Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and David Bowie! We talk about how that came about, their music so far and their future plans.
