KING of the wild frontier Adam Ant follows up his 44 dates in the United States with 13 spring shows in Britain on a tour with the Roman numeral title of XII B.D.

It stands for 12 Dates Before Dirk, an indication that Mr Ant will accompany his flamboyant hits with songs from his seminal album Dirk Wears White Sox, the one before he became the pantomime punk highwayman. His new-look show is booked into Bridlington Spa for Saturday, April 5 at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £24.50 on 01472 349 222.
