The Adventures, one hit wonder band with ‘Broken Land’ but the album ‘The sea of Love’ is fantastic as well. If you like stadium rock similar to Simple Minds you’ll like this band as well.

Afghan Whigs, saw them live at Manchester Cathedral a few years ago, they were on Jools Holland and just two songs convinced me to see them.

Some will remember this band from the 80s but, Swing our Sister are still creating some great music. Jazz funk if you’re into that sort of thing and Corinne Drewery the lead singer still looking beautiful
