A load of old blarney: undiscerning record-buyers can now purchase The Celts, an eight-album series of Celtic codswallop with titles such as Celtic Tranquility, Alive And Drinkin' and Bogman's Pipe. NME reports that former Happy Mondays maracca-shaker Bez was ejected from the site at last week's Glastonbury festival, forcing him to cancel a scheduled DJ set with Clash-man Joe Strummer.

Old hippies don't die dept: $70 will get you a ticket for a two-day musicfest to be held on the site of the original Woodstock festival, and featuring Wood-en veterans like Pete Townshend, Ten Years After and Richie Havens.
