CHOICE

Take That

What: Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen (alas no Robbie who has better things to do and, more pertinently, doesn't need the money) reunite for this Take That tour. As the four pop idols of yesteryear get set to perform the old favourites such as Relight my Fire, Back for Good and A Million Love Songs as well as a Beatles medley - a nod to their erstwhile success - a throng of thirty-something women prepare to scream their lungs out and confess their undying love in placard form. It's like they never went away.

Where: Arena, Manchester

When: Tonight, sold out, returns only.
