New Moon is nothing if not an international advertisement for the hungry virtues of virginity and young people can’t get enough of it

A smart, prickly and rewarding view of sexual and emotional confusion

Kitchen W8 is a bargain for this area, if such sophistication is what you crave
Kitchen W8
Too long and drawn out but very entertaining with excellent special effects
This is a peculiar play and does not work for me. Some of it is very funny but there are real flaws
Alex has a strong powerful voice and was faultless, she is far better now than she was on the X-Factor

Sam Sparro has now been perched in the top five for more than a month with his hit single Black And Gold, and is accordingly becoming an increasingly popular live draw.
That was no excuse for the shambolic entry system at this new venue that made me miss nearly half of his short set — bouncers yelling “What’s going on?” to each other, guests refused entry except in the unlikely event that other people left, and even some who had paid in advance being offered refunds instead of the entertainment they expected.
Inside at last, the atmosphere was significantly more cordial. Sparro, a Los Angeles-based Australian with novelty specs and the kind of rich voice that almost never emanates from a white guy, led his lively band on an electrofunk romp that never flagged.
His background as a gospel singer explained the powerful lungs of his three backing vocalists but he hardly needed them as he draped his resonant tones over the futuristic house of Sick and a cover of Crystal Waters’ dance classic Gypsy Woman. Standout, of course, was Black And Gold, probably the only disco favourite about doubting the existence of God — and all the better for its uniqueness.
Details are correct at the time of publication - please check with venue before booking.
I saw Sam Sparro last night, and was amazed as he was the supporting artist to Robyn, and was blown away by his music and stage presence.
I would liken his stage presence to that of Robbie Williams. And his voice is just amazing. I would have to say that he made Robyn's set disappointing as he was too good!
