Simply Red - BIC (23.4.03) The Gotan Project - Lighthouse, Poole (26.4.03). Superb outing from the French- Argentinian trip hop-tango collective with seating in the Wessex Hall laid out at tables and plenty of room for dancing.

The UK's original rockabilly rebels support legendary US rock n' rollers milking the last drops from the UK Teddy Boy revival that coincided with the rise of punk.

The Kinks + The Herd + Gary Walker & the Rain - Winter Gardens, Bournemouth (27.4.68)

45 years ago:
