Heartstring @ The Cavern Club, Liverpool - Sat. 9th Feb. 2008
They stood out for a start by having the only female vocalist of the night, but their alternative musical sound is their main draw.

Hot Fuzz
Directed by: Edgar Wright, (Shaun of the Dead)
Starring: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Jim Broadbent, Timothy Dalton
Upon leaving the cinema, I wanted to drive to Somerfield with a swan and buy Maryland Cookies, Grolsch and Kelloggs cereal...Go and see it to find out why...
Casino Royale
Director: Matin Campbell, (The Legend of Zorro, Goldeneye)
Actors: Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Mads Mikkelsen, Judi Dench
What I loved was that this is no ordinary Bond film. So yes, we could all recognise the big explosions, the fancy cars and the witty innuendos which identify a traditional Bond movie, but that was only a coating to the real tone of the film. Casino Royale truly does provide us with a glimpse of the real James Bond, that of the deadly assassin who has no time for feeling or guilt.
Casino Royale
Directed by: Martin Campbell
Starring: Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Mads Mikkelsen, Judi Dench, Giancarlo Giannini, Simon Abkarian, Caterina Murino and Jeffrey Wright
007 is back in Casino Royale, here seen earning his '00' status in a pseudo-prequel - I say pseudo because the Bond chronology is a complicated subject defying logic and time. For those who expressed concern over Daniel Craig's suitability for the role, (I cannot say I was one of them, as much as I liked Pierce Brosnan), fear not. He is a brilliant actor and fills his predecessor’s large shoes with ease.

The Sound of Music
I was here, like so many others, to catch the How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? winner, Connie Fisher, in the role of Maria before she departs on Saturday. And she didn’t disappoint.

Avenue Q - Friday 19th January, 2007
Coarse, crude and hilarious in equal measures, Avenue Q succeeds in bringing, albeit in a corrupted form, children’s television to stage.
