Here are two strange words, Jethro Tull!

The biggest reunion of all? Possibly, given that they are the one huge and defunct unit who have yet to suffer the humiliation ofa reunion!

Never could stand it, first time around.

They were more intelligent than they ever dared to let on and, perhaps, less streetwise than the image eternally suggested. They were, and are Happy Mondays although the founding Paul Ryder is not among the flock, having fallen foul of sibling sniping and preferring to live in a French castle that occasionally explodes into flames.

(Ok, so fans of McFly and Velvet Revolver might not regard those two dates as unmissable exactly buthorses for courses).

Initially, and for five full years, it remained largely an empty and cavernous dream, populated by a few sullen geeks, most of whom shamelessly abused their vague guest-list status.

So intense and sickly was the critical gush that listening to it would be like watching the sunrise after spending four days awake.
