Amsterdam entered the glittery world of the award ceremony on Friday night when the boys were nominated for Best Music award at the annual Scouseology awards at the salubrious Crown Plaza hotel in Liverpool.

The gang lost out to China Crisis in the end – who apologised profusely to Ian later and said how much they loved the album!

Every scouser from Ken Dodd to Craig Charles to Ricky Tomlinson to Janice Long (who mentioned Amsterdam during her speech) was there for this major event in Merseyside life. Apparently Mr Prowse in a suit was a sight to behold.

The boys will also finish off this year with a short tour in December. The first Isle of Man show in Douglas is almost sold out for any of you who are going over to see the band.

Tickets for the other gigs which include the big Amsterdam Christmas party in central London at the famous Borderline club are on sale now.

Also look out for the limited edition very special Joe’s Kiss t-shirts which will be made available soon!
