Gigs already booked for the revamped venue include Labrinth (inset below) (Nov 1), former Pulp guitarist Richard Hawley (Dec 6) and the Frank & Walters (Dec 29).

Meanwhile, the Stone Roses plan to continue their reunion into next year at least, and have already lined up gigs in Australia for March. Presumably that’ll set them up nicely for the European summer festival circuit. Another big band on the road next year are the Rolling Stones, with Keith Richards revealing the pension-age group have already lined up shows in London and New York. Bjork has announced plans to release Bastards, an album of remixed tracks from her previous long player Biophilia. Finally, ex-REM guitarist Peter Buck has just released a new album. Given that’s it’s limited to a run of just 2,000 vinyl records, fans might find it difficult to get their hands on a legal copy.
