MIKE HARDING thinks they're funny, and the funny thing is, the disturbing band known as A Fistful of Spookies are preparing to unnerve a Worcestershire audience.

A spokesman said: "Sensational stylings of Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, The Beach Boys; brand newies by Spooky director Stephen Taberner and thousand year old Georgian songs, guaranteed to woo, charm, cheer and delight, what more could be desired?"

Don't say you haven't been warned, and watch out for those funny stares.

The date for the diary is Friday April 28 at Swithun's Institute, Worcester.
