Best buys around

THERE's a fantastically mixed bag of live events coming up for those who feel that life is perhaps better not spent in front of a wide screen telly drooling over adverts for new four-wheel drives and revolutionary vacuum cleaners. ; Yes folks, summer's just around the corner and there are bands aplenty, surfacing into the sparse sunshine and plying their musical wares for anyone prepared to listen. First up, we see the debut, performance from new old kids on the block Flytipper who will be appearing at the Yorkshire House tomorrow evening (Sat). Comprising of a few familiar faces on the Yorkie live music front, this band promises to be at the very, very least, interesting and quite probably rather good. The Bobbin plays host to a trio of acts on Wednesday (5) when Dry Riser, Grind and Lefthanders will be showing off their various talents whilst the following evening The Bottlenecks can seen rocking-and-a-rolling at the same venue. Also on Thursday night, Purple People will be headlining a gig at Morecambe Dome's Waterfront bar where there will be a late bar to compensate for the £3. admission fee. The following night 60s covers band The Hop will be treading the boards at the. Yorkshire House for a nostalgia-filled session of fun. On Saturday (8) lovers of avant-garde flavoured jazz will be able to bathe in the heady opulence of ',Steven Groom's self-penned compositions at the Yorkshire House as part of New Music North West's ongoing programme of events throughout the district. A night of acoustic rock can be had on ',Wednesday (12) when Fallen Heroez will be performing at The Bobbin. Apparently made up of members of Face Of Change and Forenzic this gig will doubtless draw a decent crowd of adolescents bedecked, quite possibly, in black. The Bobbin also lends its stage to Fylde visitors The Theory on Thursday (13) whilst the very next evening finds the Dome's Waterfront bar acting as rock venue where popular bands Numb, Kid Serial & Outpost will entertain the crowds.
