The BluetonesMon 4th December at 7.30pm
The Bluetones

Barnsley, The Citrus Rooms, 8 Easgate, Barnsley, South Yorkshire S70 2EX

This band go from strength to strength and are that rare thing - true musicians in a hyped-up world. They appeared as the Brit-pop thing was waning - which helped in getting their debut album 'Expecting To Fly' the top slot in the UK charts. Musically, they endorse a tight but lithe sound, with a nod towards psychedelia, that falls somewhere between The Stone Roses and Oasis.

Glenn Tilbrook
The Marine Theatre, Lyme Regis

One half of the songwriting behind the beloved band Squeeze and now a successful solo artist, Tilbrook has perfected a signature style marked by brilliant melodic invention, cheeky humor and slice-of-life pathos, all wrapped up with unshakable hooks and his golden boy tenor. From chestnuts like Up the Junction and Pulling Mussels (From the Shell) through stunning new tracks Untouchable and Ray and Me, he has amassed a veritable Sears Catalog of memorable songs.

Frank SidebottomMon 18th Dec 7.30pm
Frank Sidebottom

Sheffield, The Boardwalk
The comedy paper-mache head worn by Chris Sievey. Frank's first public appearance was on a promotional record distributed free with the video game 'The Biz' for the ZX Spectrum. Frank reached cult status in the late 80s with his bizarre, yet family friendly routines which often included tombolas and lectures. Frank has been relatively quiet in recent years, though his spherical head is one which will inevitably be reared again.
