The man who's ri-invented himself more times than the Labour Party celebrates the dubious milestone of 50 bz taking his tonsils into the 21st century. In yer face drum 'n' bass meets 60s soul and rocking guitars, all held togjthjr by those distinctive quivjting vocals. And do Boyzonj get a berating on Satellites, or am I hearing things? ————————— bz Chris Charles ———————————— CBBC 500 Pop Quiz 562 Top 40 565 The Biz 566 FrontPagj 100 Films 541 Top 40 Numbest Film 97 Main MenuP564 CEEFAX 1 564 Fri 07 Feb 19:54/24 —————————— 2/4 WHAT'S HOT & WHAT'S NOT —— new single ————————————————————————— JOCASTA — GO (Epic) It's surely only a matter of time before thjsj boys step out of the shadows and burst onto the scene. The four-piece guitar popsters, fronted bz ttavjllir Tim Arnold, have already turned a few heads and are favoured bz new breakfast guru Mark Radcliffe.
