If George Orwell was around now, he may consider changing his title to Getting Down in London and Paris, especially if he was an aficionado of rip-roaring rock and happened upon Le Chat Noir, who have recently announced gigs in both of these capitals.
Les Grands Masters of Rockin’ the Bay (our unofficial title for the Torbay Artsbase winners) will be playing in Camden on October 25, and they’ll be in Paris on February 6. Our advice to readers in these cities is to crunch your credit over to see ‘em. Failing that, you could catch them on their stupendous European tour.
For more Le Chat Noir antics, pop over to their myspace or the Le Chat Noir website, in the meantime sample what is a capital idea.

The UK is one of the richest nations in the world, so the news that 45 per cent of children in North Devon are living in poverty is shocking.
The figure is taken from a Campaign to End Child Poverty report, which said that children living in low income families, where no one was working more than 16 hours a week or where the family was receiving the full entitlement of Working Tax Credits.
North Devon MP Nick Harvey told the North Devon Journal: “People think poverty only happens in urban areas, but the reality is that for some living in rural areas life is very difficult,” said Mr Harvey.
“It impacts not only on the everyday existence of a child, but on their life chances.
“In 2008, it should not be the case that a child living in one area of the country will live longer than a child living in another, merely because of the circumstances of their birth.”
