Culture Club members have the chance to win one of four pairs of tickets on Saturday, December 12 to see the Original Bucks Fizz at Newcastle City Hall.
On the 11th December 25 years ago, Bucks Fizz were on a sell-out tour of the UK when disaster struck. Their coach collided with an on-coming lorry and Mike Nolan and Cheryl Baker were thrown through the windscreen. Cheryl, Jay Aston and Bobby Gee all sustained injuries but Mike Nolan was by far the worst affected. He suffered from a head injury which resulted in a blood clot on the brain, a condition that would change his life forever.
To this day, Mike suffers from short-term memory loss, tunnel vision and has to take strong pain drugs to combat epilepsy. He has had to relinquish his driving licence so has lost his independence.
25 years after that fateful day, Cheryl Baker, Mike Nolan and Jay Aston, now known as "The Original Buck Fizz" are returning to Newcastle to perform at the very same venue, Newcastle City Hall on Saturday 12th December.

To celebrate the release of The Mighty Boosh director Paul King’s brilliant new comedy film Bunny and the Bull we’ve got a copy of The Mighty Boosh Special edition DVD Boxset to give away.
Bunny and the Bull is an extraordinary film, starring some of the most exciting talent the British comedy world currently has to offer, including The Mighty Boosh’s very own Noel Fielding and Julian Barrett, as well as Richard Ayoade of The IT Crowd, Bunny And The Bull is a surreal, visually mouthwatering journey. Stephen (Edward Hogg), is a young agoraphobic loner who goes through the same routine day after day. But when his friend Bunny (Simon Farnaby) turns up, Stephen finds his mind hurtling back to their disastrous trek around Europe and a catalogue of adventures unfold. Told through a series of inventive flashbacks using photographs, Swiss clocks and even take-away boxes as settings, Bunny and the Bull is a brilliant mixture of surreal humour and imaginative storytelling, that showcases director Paul King as an exciting bit of British talent.
