Brighton actor and film-maker Ralph Brown is no ordinary Beach Boys fan.

Not only does he own all their albums and know every song lyric off by heart, he is also the founder of the Brighton Beach Boys.

Ralph, who appeared in Withnail And I, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Alien 3 and Wayne's World 2, started the group as a tribute to the visionary US pop supremos.

Brian Wilson recently heard about the group and gave Ralph his blessing.

This will be the Brighton Beach Boys' debut gig. Doors open 8pm, tickets £5.
