It's a four-headed retrotastic trip back in time this week, courtesy of Geno Washington, Herbie Flowers, Rezillos and Mighty Diamonds.

GENO WASHINGTON and the PURPLE ACES, Old Market, Hove, February 22
The godfather of British soul takes us back to his musical roots in Evansville, Louisiana, with a show that has been described as moving, outrageous and masterful. Starts 9pm. Tickets are priced £10/£7. Call 01273 736222 for details and information.

REZILLOS, Concorde 2, Brighton, February 23
This Scottish punk group got together in 1976 when they started gigging in sparky comic-book costumes. Despite hitting the top 20 in both the album and singles charts, the band's major flaw turned out to be their instability, which led to a split at the end of 1978. They are now back together with the original line-up. Starts 7pm. £10. 01273 772770.

MIGHTY DIAMONDS, Concorde 2, Brighton, February 25
Famous for reggae classics like Musical Youth-covered Country Living, this is one of the most consistent and long-running vocal trios in Jamaican musical history. Their soulful harmonies produced numerous hits and made them favourites with roots and dance hall audiences. Starts 9pm. £10. 01273 772770.
