It's a tough life for our Technical Director James Bond (a.k.a Ben Dykes)
Makemedia are sponsoring the upcoming synchronised swimming show in Brighton Fringe Festival. As it’s James Bond theme (Eau Eau 7, geddit?!) we thought we’d have a fun photoshoot with our own James Bond lookalike Ben Dykes – when he’s not busy being a super spy he’s our Technical Director.
Over 30 swimmers from Brighton Dolphins and Brighton Swimming Club will perform various routines alongside actors from Peacehaven Community School, telling the story of Bond’s mystery visit to Brighton.
Liz Fitzsimons of Brighton Dolpins said, “This is our 4th annual show in the Brighton Fringe Festival. Our secret agent has a new assignment with an Olympic twist. We’ve been learning the routines since January and it’s all coming together nicely. We’re really looking forward to it!”
Ben Dykes explains, “Two of our staff, Bryony and Laura, are taking part in the show and when we heard about the event we wanted to show our support by sponsoring, as well as cheering them on when the day comes. It’s really great to be able to show our support to a local group.”
Tickets for the event are selling well and, as last year’s show “Lights, Water, Action!” was a sell-out event, fans are advised to dive in and get tickets as soon as possible.
The show will take place on Saturday 12th May at 8pm at the Prince Regent Swimming Pool, Jubilee Square, Brighton. Tickets are available at the Brighton Fringe Festival website and Box Office, or Dome Box Office.
