Laura Critchley, who has helped out the boys at the last two Mathew Street festivals, has her first single out on 21 May. The single is called Sometimes I and is available as a download on iTunes and a CD on Amazon.

Amsterdam would like to wish Laura all the luck in the world with her single and album.

The boys performed a one-off show in Scarborough last Friday. It was described by Ian as ‘one of those shows where we don’t know what we’re doing, yet immense fun’.

The setlist was:

Intro
The Gangster
Joe’s kiss
Name and number
Arm in arm
Home
Taking on the world
Does this train stop on Merseyside?
You’re a phoney
The Glorious day
Megalomania
Arm in arm
Kings ransom
Do anything you wanna do

Raid the palace
