I've heard a rumour that the Shakespeare, Southport's local hard rock pub on Scarisbrick New Road, may be closed down and demolished to make way for new homes. The Shakespeare (formerly WD Suttons, and before that the...er...Shakespeare) hasn't sold real ale for years and had been closed down once already.

There have been great concerts, and there have been concerts held to raise awareness for worthwhile causes; but the two have never been so brilliantly and magically combined as they were for 2007’s Concert For Diana. After almost a decade of trying, The Clash really hit form with their 1985 release, Cut the Crap. The Kinks may have got there first, but it took sitcom writer John Sullivan to...
