           <title>Reel Big Fish: O2 Academy</title>

           <description><![CDATA[
  Do you have a multi-faceted taste in music? Enjoy live music, singing with a crowd and a bit of the ridiculous? If so, Reel Big Fish couldn’t possibly disappoint. The action begins with the latter
  part of support act New Town Kings’ set. The eight-strong Essex ensemble spring the crowd with some active ska tunes and stirring solos from the brass section. These guys clearly have fun on stage
  and this is effectively transported to the audience through their music; a more reggae tone than proverbial ska-punk headliners. No one was sceptical towards Reel Big Fish’s reputation as a
  dynamite live act. And no one was disenchanted when they began with Kids Don’t Like It and Thank You For Not Moshing — both fast-paced tracks that refuse to be ignored. The crowd is singing along
  fervidly as the band literally party into familiar tracks Good Thing and I Want Your Girlfriend To Be My Girlfriend Too. And they’re not only singing. The party on stage is infectious and, despite
  the heat, everybody is dancing/skanking/jumping to the cohesive atmosphere, exhilarated by the carefree lyrics and ska-punk cheeriness. New tracks Everyone Else Is An Asshole and Don’t Stop
  Skanking do well to promote the new album and assert that the band hasn’t changed. And won’t. “This song is dedicated to the greatest drink in the world.” The final song before the encore is indeed
  Beer, and for me the highlight of the evening. Everyone’s had one and everyone knows the words. This is not to depreciate the encore itself, consisting of Sell Out, the inevitable Take On Me cover
  and, perhaps a tribute to their recent appearance at the O2, Monkey Man by Toots and the Maytals, all of which were wildly received. This was a hugely enjoyable gig then — and not just because of
  the music. Reel Big Fish are the noisy rabble next door that you’d rather join than complain about.

           <title>The Grand Duke: Buxton Opera House</title>

           <description><![CDATA[
  The Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Company made history with a rare fully-professional production of the final Savoy opera, The Grand Duke. A bold move, perhaps, as Gilbert’s storyline — involving a
  theatrical troupe plotting to depose the miserly Grand Duke of Pfennig Halbpfennig — is particularly convoluted and lacks his customary razor-sharp satire. But Sullivan’s score is as delightful and
  sparkling as ever, and there was plenty to enjoy in Andrew Nicklin’s bright, colourful production.

           <description><![CDATA[
  If you want to raise money for multiple sclerosis research by staging a recital, there can be no more appropriate venue than the Jacqueline du Pré Music Building, named after the famous cellist who
  was robbed of her career by the disease. And that’s doubly true if you’re a cellist yourself, like 18-year-old Ghislaine McMullin, of Headington.
