With headline acts ranging from Nirvana and the Stone Roses to Eminem and Dizzee Rascal, he converted the Reading Festival from a struggling jazz festival that he started in 1989 to a highlight of the music scene. Power's list of events (bottom right, last year) appeared at Leeds Festival in 1999. In 1982, Mean Fiddler, a former gambling den in Harlesden, north-west London, that had previously been frequented by gangsters the Kray twins and the Richardsons, opened in a former gambling den, which had once been frequented by gangsters the Kray twins and the Richardsons.

MARMION MERCUCK: Roy Orbison was a rock'n'roll ventriloquist. It was amazing how little the Big O, as they referred to him, had to open his mouth to produce the sonic boom. It was as if the man had recently undergone root-canal surgery, but it might also be able to blow the wigs off a stage. So the big challenge for Orbison's latest Orbison jukebox musical, led by American actress and singer Lena Hall (left), was that it would live up to the extraordinary voice. The Max Martin catalogue musical & Juliet's writer David West Read has written a book that reads "too transparent" on our tear ducts. Well, Orbison himself may have stated it in regard of Hall and the cast's mighty singing: they've got it.
