Marc Almond

Having successfully pleased himself across a 35-year career, the much loved synthpop crooner Marc Almond, above, celebrates his 60th birthday by going back to his early musical inspirations on this Shadows and Reflections tour, celebrating the baroque pop songs of the 1960s on which he grew up with his own versions of well chosen numbers by Burt Bacharach, The Young Rascals and The Yardbirds, lushly orchestrated by composer and saxophonist John Harle. Usher Hall, Edinburgh, tomorrow, 0131-228 1155.
