VIVE LA FiP!
FiP FM, or Pheep as it is pronounced, is a Parisian radio station that has been adopted in Brighton. It can be heard in boudoirs and boutiques from Brighton seafront to the South Downs – past that the signal fades.

I love this eclectic French station! Its playlist includes jazz, funk, rock, pop, reggae and classical, but its totally different to what you’d usually hear on the radio.

“It struck me as a really good thing. Good music, no ads, minimal talking – its hugely in demand. I know a couple who bought their house because it had good FIP reception.” said Dave Mountfield who 3 Months ago started Vive La FiP along with a few good friends.

Vive La FiP is a free monthly evening dedicated to the station.
Its at the Prince Albert on Trafalgar Street on the last Thursday of every month. “We wanted the club to be relaxed. There are cabaret tables and space to dance upstairs or people can just treat it like a normal pub – but with excellent music downstairs.” Dave’s French friends cook homemade pancakes.

You can listen to FiP FM live on streaming radio.
