About Betty Boo

Betty Boo, born Alison Moira Clarkson, burst onto the music scene in the late 1980s, swiftly establishing herself as a unique voice in British pop. Her distinctive image – a vibrant, cartoonish aesthetic combined with a sharp, witty lyrical style – immediately set her apart. After a stint with the hip-hop group The Beatmasters, she launched her solo career, delivering a string of hits that cemented her status as a pop innovator. Tracks like “Doin’ the Do” and “Where Are You Baby?” became instant anthems, showcasing her ability to blend catchy pop melodies with a playful, rap-infused delivery.

Boo’s sound is a captivating fusion of pop, hip-hop, and new jack swing, characterised by upbeat tempos, memorable choruses, and her unmistakable vocal swagger. Her debut album, “Boomania,” released in 1990, was a critical and commercial success, earning her a Brit Award nomination. After a hiatus, Betty Boo made a triumphant return to music, demonstrating her enduring appeal and creative spirit. For this Green Door Store show, expect Betty Boo to be backed by a tight, energetic band, ready to bring her classic hits and potentially some newer material to life with an undeniable stage presence. Her enduring charm and musical prowess ensure a performance that’s both nostalgic and refreshingly relevant.

Nestled beneath Brighton railway station, the Green Door Store is more than just a venue; it’s a vital part of the city’s vibrant music landscape. This independent live music hub, located at BN14FQ, has earned a stellar reputation for its eclectic bookings and intimate atmosphere.

The venue’s atmosphere is always electric, a testament to its passionate staff and diverse crowd. In terms of accessibility, the Green Door Store is largely on one level once inside, though it’s advisable to contact the venue directly regarding specific access needs, as its railway arch location presents unique considerations.

Getting to Green Door Store

The Green Door Store’s location is one of its biggest advantages, situated literally beneath Brighton railway station at Trafalgar Arches, Brighton, BN14FQ. This makes it exceptionally easy to reach, whether you’re arriving by train, bus, or even on foot from central Brighton.

For those travelling by train, you simply exit Brighton station and the venue is just a stone’s throw away, making it incredibly convenient. Brighton is well-served by national rail links, connecting it to London and other major cities. If you’re using local buses, numerous routes stop at Brighton Station or nearby North Laine, both within a short walk of the venue. For drivers, parking in central Brighton can be challenging. There are several car parks nearby, such as the multi-storey car park at Brighton Station or the NCP car park on Church Street, but they can be expensive and fill up quickly, especially on a weekend. Public transport or walking is highly recommended for a stress-free experience.
