I played a show with Kajagoogoo at the weekend (although technically without Limahl, it was Art Nouveau - the band as it was formerly known).

Milton Keynes, for one night only, was the hub of the music universe - veritably glittering with the creme de la creme of pop royalty.

ROCK Paper Scissors have been doing a fine job of late coercing non-local bands to play shows in Southport.

Armed with the intimate settings of Cafe Matisse, and a loyal music-loving fanbase, these young promoters are quickly establishing themselves as a tour de force for live music in the town.

On Friday (December 7), they bring in bands touted in NME, Q and Uncut as 'the next big things'.
