Del Amitri are a Pop-rock guitar band, formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1980. They came together at school as teenagers when Justin Currie (bass and vocals), James Scobbie (guitar and vocals) and Donald Bentley (guitar) formed a band in reaction against the rest of the 'rockers' in the school. The name was chosen deliberately because it didn't mean anything but sounded a bit like someone's name - early Del Amitri did not want to be classified and their existence was kept secret from the rest of the school.

There's is no better person to lead you through the streets and suburbs of Brighton than the self appointed Unofficial Mayor himself. Terry carries the whole show single handed, for this is his affectionate tribute to the place where he was born and bred. The local paper called it "brilliant and witty". It is also a big bellylaugh in a naughty seaside postcard kind of way. Quintessentially Brighton is Brighton the Musical.
