It's a bumper week of big names from the past with reggae mentalist Lee Perry, diva Dionne Warwick, Eighties icon Midge Ure and the eternal Roy Ayres.

LEE PERRY, Brighton Dome, March 15 It's not only mellow funky grooves you'll be getting at this legendary Jamaican's gig, his infamous eccentricity and crazy dress sense guarantees entertainment of a different kind. As well as being the producer responsible for Bob Marley's stardom and arguably the mastermind behind the best of Jamaican music, Perry is said to have cast an evil spell on Margaret Thatcher. Tickets cost £14. 8pm. Call 01273 709709.

DIONNE WARWICK, Brighton Dome, March 14 This legend's vocals have been responsible for classics including Walk On By, Anyone Who Had a Heart, I Say A Little Prayer and Do You Know the Way to San Jose to name but a few. From a gospel-loving New Jersey family, Dionne moved to New York in the Sixties where she was snapped up by Burt Bacharach and made into an award-winning star. Tickets are still available. They cost £27.50-£30, show starts 8pm. Call 01273 709709.

ROY AYRES, Concorde 2, Brighton, March 18 The dude who brought us such numbers as Everybody Loves the Sunshine and Running Away may have first hit the big time in the Sixties and may be getting on a bit but he has never lost his cool. Still harmonising jazz, funk and silky vocals, Ayres is not having a comeback, he was always there. Tickets £12.50. Show starts at 8pm. Call 01273 772770.
