The Brighton Suite brings together 17 talented improvising musicians under the direction of Paul Nieman. The music itself has a sense of form which reflects Busby’s classical capacity to play and stretch the musical vocabulary far beyond the routine. Each piece tells a story - word painting and musical puns abound. Titles include The Omnibus Edition (about the Brighton buses), Martha Gunn (the "queen of dippers" whose job it was to dip people into the water from bathing machines) B…right-on, Churchill Square Dance, Volk’s Song, A Knight at St. Nick’s (This refers to a legend that in the churchyard of St Nicholas Church there is a large stone slab. At night-time, it is said that a knight and horse in full armour emerge to trot round the churchyard.) 1514 (In 1514, Brighton was razed to the ground by the French navy and only the church (St. Nicholas’s) remained unscathed.) 1703 (A terrible storm hit Brighton. Daniel Defoe described it in these words: “Stript a great many houses, turn'd up the lead of the church, overthrew two wind- mills, and laid them flat on the ground, the town in general (at the approach of daylight) looking as though it had been bombarded.”) The Royal Escape (King Charles II escaped to Shoreham where he boarded a ship “The Surprise” and fled to France.), Pavilion I’m Just Wild About Busby (after Wilds and Busby, architects of much of Regency Brighton - Busby also designed The Unitarian Church).
