Michelle Shocked is returning to the UK with her Mercury Rising Tour - she will be performing tracks from her three Mercury albums - Short, Sharp, Shocked, Captain Swing, and Arkansas Traveler - Janice Forsyth will hear all about it.

Multi-media artist and academic John Walter will discuss his show, Shonky: The Aesthetics of Awkwardness which opens at the Dundee Contemporary Arts on March the 10th.

Janice will also hear from one of the country's leading 'musical satirists' - writer, performer and broadcaster, Mitch Benn - he is traveling the UK with his guitar for his I'm Still Here Tour - creating laughter wherever he goes!

All that and Los Pacaminos - originally formed as an opportunity to indulge their shared passion of the Border, Tex-Mex and Americana music that the members of the band love, they got together in London back in November 1992, as an antidote to the bleak English winter!

They are fronted by one of the UK's finest and best loved vocalists - Paul Young - who will be on hand to tell us all about their new tour which is coming our way..

Don't Miss it!
