If you haven’t heard from me in the past 11 months, it’s because I’ve been in here... But I’m proud and a bit sad to say, I won’t be anymore!

I’d confidently say that over the past 11 years I’ve spent more nights here than any house I’ve lived in Brighton. The Arch was my stomping ground, my classroom, and most importantly my place of escape. Since 2015 I’ve partied (a little too much) and worked various roles at the club. And when I saw last summer it had closed, just 4 months after I left, I was devastated.

Through 2025 I was working with my beloved family at Concorde2 having a great time… Then a voice-note from a certain Mr Ralph sparked my curiosity. He told me it wasn’t closing down, and had actually been taken over by one of the biggest promoters in the UK, @amaadevents and asked me to come back - I couldn’t believe my spiritual home was finally about to get the treatment it deserved.

‘These walls have stories’ was a mantra we tried to respect and work by, and it’s true… The building has worn many hats, welcomed many beautiful faces, and generations of liberating moments have been shared here. ‘The Zap’ was known globally as a key electronic music destination, a must-see experience unique to Brighton. I was honoured and excited to help reaffirm the buildings importance to Brighton’s history & culture, and introduce a new generation of local ravers to what a truly high quality party is.

Within my first month as we rushed to open the doors, I gained 2 promotions to Production & Venue Coordinator. I described my role as “once a date is booked in, everything to do with the show is my responsibility”. Literal blood, sweat, tears, sleep and 90 hrs a week was spent. And while I’m very proud of my contribution, there is only so much the body can take…

To everyone I’ve met here, customers, colleagues, artists; I love you all. This won’t be the last you see of me! I am fully re-entering the freelance world under my own Agency @nbs.music representing an amazing roster of Artists, while working as Operations Manager of @central_ldn & @uncut.jamsss - and I don’t remember the last time I was this excited ever.

So, dearest Brighton scene, thanks. I love you ❤️
