Old Romantic

And to think it all started with young men in makeup and kilts . . . While Martin and Gary Kemp have decided not to participate in what is effectively the semi re-formation of Spandau Ballet, the other three former members - Tony Hadley, Steve Norman and John Keeble (above) - have decided to go for broke with a nostalgic traipse through the hit singles, of which there were many.

Between failed court cases against Gary Kemp and Tony Hadley's solo career going distinctly pear-shaped, it's been a funny old rock 'n' roll world for the three remaining members. But they're back playing live regardless.

Worth going along for the songs alone but without the other two, who knows? The trio play Dublin's Olympia theatre on Thursday.
