If there is one constant in the life of Dexys and Kevin Roland it is their constant drive for change. The band have moved from donkey jackets to today’s flamboyant style via dungarees and formal suits but no matter the look the music remains a triumph. Every original song reflects the personal journeys taken by Kevin and the band and every cover is made their own such as the wonderful Grazing In The Grass which we were treated to tonight.

The Daily Echo is launching a No to Knives campaign (Image: Newsquest) No more knives. That is the simple but important message we want to get across. One death is too many, but following the senseless death of teenager Cameron Hamilton a line must be drawn in the sand. Care must be taken to acknowledge that Bournemouth is not a war zone, but there have been too many high-profile violent incidents to ignore the fact that there is a problem.
