The Sweet are back on tour!
In 1979 original lead singer Brian Connolly left the original line up leaving Andy Scott, Steve Priest & Mick Tucker to continue as a 3 piece. Sadly, both Brian Connolly & Mick Tucker passed away in 1997 and 2002 respectively and with Steve Priest relocating to the USA, Andy Scott was left to fly the flag. After a couple of line-up changes over the years, since 2006 the line-up has been primarily unchanged from what it is today.
Andy Scott (lead guitar, vocal), Bruce Bisland (drums, vocal) Tony O’Hora (lead vocal, bass) and Paul Manzi (guitar, keyboards, vocal).
It's all a bit tatty when you look at it, isn't it?
There's also a Steve Priest Sweet, who seem to play North America,

According to an advert I heard on Absolute 80s earlier, The Psychedelic Furs are doing some sort of show(s) - with special guest none other than Jah Wobble!

OMG
Who would have thought I'd hear that news here on the NHOTW!
This is like when I unexpectedly heard Book of Days was coming out in 1989, times about 10!

About 10 years ago I would have been intrested. Ok. 30 years.

I'm trying to think what album I was listening to recently that was produced by Youth.

I do have that album.
But I think it was Urban Hymns by The Verve. The songs he produced on that album were basically the singles and they are by far the best songs on the album. The other tracks are just generic jangly Britpop.
