It's a sad week in a couple of ways - firstly there's little in the way of new comedy tours starting (but loads already in progress of course) and secondly, we say goodbye and thanks to one of the most successful club-acts of the century. There are plenty of other established acts, mind you, so dry your eyes people and dive in.

Faithless - Passing the Baton [screening] will be a live transmission of the final Brixton date on Friday. A screening of the show will take place during the same evening at dozens of regional picture houses - tickets will be £15, very limited, and go on sale Friday at 1st April at 10AM.

Wiley

Who's up for some cheeky grimey sounds from the man Wiley? He is joined by Mz. Bratt for a string of dates from Wednesday onwards, starting with Newcastle and taking in Sheffield, Manchester (this one's sold out though) and many more until London on 14th April. Tickets are £12 - £12.50.

Beth Orton

The dulcet folktronica tones of Ms Orton continues to captivate and fascinate, proven by a couple of sold-out dates on this upcoming 'new album' tour which starts on Saturday in Bournemouth. Leamington and Holmfirth have sold out, but the remaining dates are up for between £16.50 and £18.50.

Eddi Reader

Ever-reliable and always enchanting, Eddi Reader continues with another hop around the UK starting in Cardiff on Monday and several more including a sold out gig at the astonishing Ely Cathedral (Friday). The rest all cost between £17 and £22.

Ruarri Joseph

Cornish singer-songwriter Ruarri Joseph is starting to make a few waves with latest album "Shoulder to the Wheel", so you might want to catch him live before his chosen venues become too big and expensive. This time around he plays from Manchester (Weds) to Nottingham (16th Apr) - tickets start at just a fiver!

Hugh Cornwell

The ex-Stranglers front-man has a dozen or so "Guilty" dates planned across the country, including a couple of unlikely venues such as Southsea's South Parade Pier (on Weds - £18) and Clitheroe (12th April - £18). Strangely, all other dates are £18, except Wolves which is £19.50 - go figure!

Big Country

The mark of a legacy is being picked to play the Isle Of Wight Festival, but this enduring and classic '80s rock-band, now featuring Mike Peters, continue to pack 'em in. This tour starts in Portsmouth on Friday and takes in all the big cities plus Middlesbrough and closing date, Inverness. Tickets from £20.

Blackfield

Just three concerts take place - Leamington (Wed), Manchester (Thurs) and Shepherd's Bush (Fri) - with tickets costing from £20.

Saxon

Brimming with classic rock tunes and a major support band in Wolfsbane, you'd be mad to miss any of Saxon's forthcoming concerts. Their first stop is Leamington on Saturday, followed by a pile of northern gigs, before heading down to the West Country from 19th Apr. Gigs cost from £16.50.

The Airborne Toxic Event

The US rock-band return to the UK, armed with a new album called "All At Once" (due end of April). First stop is the sold-out Nottingham date on Monday - in fact, the band has also sold out Leeds and two of their London dates (19th and 20th). The remaining survivors cost £12 - £14.

James Last Orchestra

To prove that we're not just about pop, rock, dance and jazz music, here's a man who's dabbled in all four at some point. His recent "80 Not Out" hints at his age and longevity with his easy-listening big band style. Why not treat your mum for Mother's Day, eh? He conducts from Birmingham on Weds to the Royal Albert Hall (11th and 12th) - tickets from £40.

Tickets start from £42.50.

Shaun The Sheep

The tour continues to Manchester, Liverpool and more.
