MUSICPeter Garrett & The Alter EgosFactory Theatre, March 16Reviewed by MICHAEL BAILEY★★★★ He might have been fronting a band called The Alter Egos but Peter Garrett was, on this night, still the passionate activist performer we came to know across six decades in Midnight Oil.

But on this night, the 5500 of us crammed into this shed got an inkling of what one of those flag-waving, fanatical Eurovision crowds must be like. Maneskin, four reprobate rockers from Rome, gave Italy its third Eurovision crown in 2021.
