Now or Later?

I wouldn't be going anyway, but this year's line-up for the 10th anniversary of the UK Here and Now tour -- featuring Jason Donovan, Shirlie Holliman (of Pepsi & Shirlie), Belinda Carlisle and Midge Ure -- seems pretty weak to me. Love Belinda, or course, but don't know a single song by Jason except his Kylie duet, and even by British standards Shirlie & Co. were flashes in the pan. Midge Ure is wonderful, but who wants to see him live? With past years featuring Altered Images, Rick Astley, Bananarama, Curiosity Killed the Cat and Kim Wilde, I'd definitely wait for year 11.

Hello here jpaul of France, a fan of the 80's and particulary Kim Wilde.
Tell me, not Kim Wilde in 2011?
Thank you if you can give me the information soon, JPaul...

I realize the tedious duet with Kylie may have put you off Jason Donovan, but he was really great during his Stock, Aitken, Waterman years. Here are two of his biggest hits, Too Many Broken Hearts, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CR3pQpqeqSc, and Nothing Can Divide Us, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KxTcDsy9Gs&feature=related. I'm just hoping for a Big Fun reunion for 2012 (S.A.W.'s gayest act), http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD8OHJ0bB4w (Jason Herbert, the eye rolling blond, aged reeeeaaallllyyy well).
