IAN MOORE






Almost single-handedly leading the resurgence of all things mod,comedian Ian Moore has achieved great success on the London and National circuits and is a regular headliner at London's famous Comedy Store.

Ian's laconic observations on life, from the problems of using thewrong vocabulary in a German Pizza Hut to an almost pathological hatred of most forms of physical exertion, have proved hugely successful with live audiences all over the world from Australia to China, and the Phillipines to the Middle East. He hasn't performed in South America, but feels no reason why they wouldn't love him there too.

Following a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Festival where heappeared with Catherine Tate, Ian was one of only seven British comics selected to appear at the pinnacle of all comedy festivals - Montreal's Just for Laughs. Alongside the likes of Jimmy Carr, Ian performed in the sellout Britcom showcase proving to be such a success he subsequently went on to headline the Worldcom show at the festival's finale.

Ian was also, briefly, the warm up comic for the BBC's 'Friday Nightwith Jonathon Ross' show, until the DAVID BOWIE incident, of which the less said the better. Ian has headlined at The Reading and Leeds music festivals, but he is too well dressed to consider appearing at Glastonbury.

Beau Brummell: Dedicated Follower of Fashion



George Bryan "Beau" Brummell (1778-1840) was a fastidious dresser who popularized the "Dandy" look. He is often credited as the father of the modern-day suit. According to The Times Online, he is "the most important figure in British fashion history."

He was once quoted as saying, "I have no talents other than to dress; my genius is in the wearing of clothes."

JACKIE LEE


Heavy soul from Jackie Lee -- one of the most hard-grooving singers to record on the west coast scene in the 60s! The package pulls together all of Lee's legendary sides for the Mirwood label -- the classic Northern Soul album The Duck, and lots of equally great singles that have the smooth-toned vocalist working at a very uptempo clip! The package is the first to really do justice to all of this music -- and it features a whopping 28 tracks all presented with wonderful sound quality, which really blows away any previous reissue -- especially considering that there's some unissued material here too. And as always with Kent, the notes are as great as the track selection -- 16 pages that tell the full story of Jackie's burning career at the time, complete with vintage photos and images. Titles include "Do You Love Me", "The Bounce", "The Duck (part 2)", "Hully Gully", "Do The Temptation Walk", "Land Of 1000 Dances", "A Man Ain't Nothin", "Oh My Darlin", "Try My Method", "Treat Her Right", "Tin Pan Alley", "Dancing In The Street", "Everybody Jerk", "Harlem Shuffle", and "Whether It's Right Or Wrong".
