The lads have just announced another date at Manchester’s Hard Rock Cafe. Matt, Joe and Ross will take to the stage at 11pm on November 28, just after modfather Paul Weller finishes playing across the way at the Manchester Arena.


THERE’S plenty on offer for dedicated rock fans at Whittles in Oldham this weekend. Friday sees ‘Mothership’ head into town. The band is widely regarded as one of the premier Led Zeppelin tribute acts. They play from around 9.30pm. Whittles’ Facebook page has admission details.
