THE Victoria Vaults music pub, in Nunnery Lane, York, has two biggies coming up: the return of Happy Mondays' Bez on May 31, followed by Alvin Gibbs and The Disobedient Servants on June 5.

The Servants' line-up features not only Gibbs and Jamie Oliver , from UK Subs, but also Leigh Heggarty, from Ruts DC, on guitar. Support that night comes from Criminal Mind.

To mark these two gigs, the Viccy Vaults has two sets of prizes to be won. First up, the Happy Mondays' 12-inch single Lazyitis, from Vinyl Eddie's record shop in Tadcaster Road, and two tickets for Bez's gig. Secondly, "a rather lovely blue and yellow vinyl limited-edition double album", Submission, Best Of The UK Subs 1982-1998, and two tickets for Alvin Gibbs's show.

"It was an absolutely amazing night with four superb York band delivering brilliant sets to a rapt crowd of 350-plus," he says. "If there's been a better gig comprising York bands in the plast 20 years or so, I must have missed it!"
