Reunion city blues: Blondie, featuring the original peroxide punkette Debbie Harry, have reformed and are in a New York studio recording a new album, No Exit. After 16 years, methinks Ms Harry's pout might have gained a few parallel lines.

We've got boy bands, we've got traditional bands, so why not combine the two? The organisers of a new Celtic boy band are looking for young hunks who can play the fiddle, accordion, bodhran and other such trad instruments. If you've got the looks of Boyzone and the skill of Donal Lunny, send your CV, picture and cassette to P.O. Box 5241, Dublin 14 asap.
