Of the album, Paul De'Ath, another fan, says:
"Like many others in the mid 90s, I had so many CD singles with his name attached.
"Among my faves on this collection are 'Higher and Higher' and 'Burning Up'. These were classics around '94 when de Vit really peaked at Trade.
"Buy the collection, if you were there and even if you weren't, or perhaps you wished you were. If like me, you've also lost a few of the old CD singles on the way, this is the one for you." RIP.
Destination: Tony de Vit. From all good record shops. (Plenty Records.)

Circus maestro Jean-Marie Akkerman, who has appeared in PN before, will be dazzling his audience with all manner of rope-and-dance acrobatics as part of the Disability Arts Festival in London this autumn..
Jean describes the show: "We will tell a story through Indian traditional dance (Kathak), aerial circus skills, and juggling, of a man's

experience of friendship and HIV diagnosis...
"Also we want to prove to people that there is quality in British circus and that the mixture with the Indian art form provides a buzzing new fusion in this kind of performance." Jean himself is a huge fan of theatrical extravaganzas like Cirque du Soleil and Archaos.
