Ian
Hunter has produced a matchless
repertoire of music combining homage,
honesty and killer hooks. He was
one of the toughest and most inventive
writers of the early 70s paving
the way for punk rock with his thought
provoking and gritty songs. As a
solo performer he has also succeeded
with an eclectic catalogue of superbly
intelligent albums and a dedicated
following, responsible for instantly
recognizable classics such as Once
Bitten, Twice Shy, Cleveland Rocks
and many more. For both his solo
output and work with Mott The Hoople,
Ian Hunter has been cited as a huge
inspiration by numerous artists
including The Clash, REM, Oasis,
Blur and Primal Scream. «

Programme
will include Vivaldi Concertos and
Kennedy's legendary interpretation
of The Four Seasons. For over twenty-five
years, Nigel Kennedy has been acknowledged
as one of the world's leading violin
virtuosos and is, without doubt,
one of the most important violinists
Britain has ever produced. His virtuoso
technique, unique talent and mass
appeal have brought fresh perspectives
to both the classical and contemporary
repertoire. He is the best selling
classical violinist of all time.
Nigel says 'I am so happy to be
bringing my new orchestra to the
UK for these dates and playing Vivaldi
and the Four Seasons - they are
amazingly brilliant young players
at the top of their form.'

UB40
are to celebrate the 30th anniversary
of their seminal debut album, Signing
Off, by performing the whole album
live! Taking its name from the unemployment
form, Signing Off was heralded as
a landmark album when it was released
in late August 1980. Mixing reggae
and dub, Signing Off chronicled
the times, and wider social and
political issues, as well as the
plight of communities throughout
the country during the early Thatcher
years. Signing Off went on to attain
Platinum status after spending 71
weeks in charts, peaking at number
two. The album features hit singles
King, Food For Thought and I Think
It's Going to Rain Today along with
other UB40 classics such as Tyler,
Madam Medusa and Burden of Shame.
UB40
have become one of the most successful
reggae groups of all time, with
over forty UK Top 40 hit singles
and sales of 80 million records
across the world. UB40 saxophonist
Brain Travers said, '2010 marks
UB40’s 30th anniversary, three
decades since we started this incredible
journey. We had to ask ourselves
how can we celebrate? How can we
say thanks to the fans for their
unconditional support? We decided
to go back to where we started,
downtown to the heart of the cities
and the venues where we played our
first gigs, then perform our first
album Signing Off in its entirety,
something we have never done before.
Of course, there will also be some
surprises, but we’ll save
them for the night.'. UB40 will
also perform a second set on the
evening featuring some of the band’s
most loved tracks. To celebrate
Signing Offs 30th anniversary, EMI
will release a special, remastered
double-CD together with a bonus
DVD.

BBC Proms with a celebration of
the MGM film musicals. In November

among others, composers George Gershwin,
Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Harry
Warren, Jerome Kern, Andre Previn
and the great Hollywood arrangers

in Paris, and The Wizard of Oz to

be heard in the concert hall for
the first time in its original version
in scores newly reconstructed by

Orchestra have captured the imagination
of the British public.

The
world’s first and finest
tribute band, The Bootleg Beatles,
perform their acclaimed homage
to the Fab Four. Neil
Harrison (Bootleg John Lennon);
Andre Barreau (Bootleg George)
and David Catlin-Birch (Bootleg
Paul) met in 1979 when they were
all cast in the hit West-End production,
Beatlemania. When the show finished
its run the band, knowing the
repertoire inside out, decided
to continue performing it and
thus The Bootleg Beatles were
born in 1980, along with the entire
tribute genre. What started as
4 musicians with black polo necks
and a wig has evolved into The
Bootleg Beatles’ lauded
show which combines note-perfect
renditions of Beatles repertoire,
spectacular costume changes and
a visually stunning video backdrop.
