FRIDAY 26
Glasgow
I Take That SECC. Finnieston Quay. 248 9999. SOLD OUT. Those crafty devils — not only do they have the twin pop credentials of massive sales and teen adulation. but it also looks like they‘re being accorded grudging critical acclaim via Gary Barlow‘s Ivor Novello songwriting award and a Mercury Music Prize nomination for Event/ting C hanges. I Ice Cube and Gravediggaz Barrowland. Gallowgate. 552 4601. 7.30pm. £12 plus booking fee. Tickets from Just the Ticket. Virgin. Union Street. 226 4679. A busy time for the Cubic one with a new single. ‘Bop Gun‘. taken from the lethal Injection album which features P-Funk‘s George Clinton and Bootsy Collins. and an appearance in the next John Singleton film Higher Learning in the bag.

The rockin‘ rev is areal whisky priest. belching his bluesy punk sermons that wrestle with the polar concerns of spiritual redemption and pleasures of the flesh.
