Spandau Ballet – the Musical is Gary Kemp's dream

Mindful no doubt of what Mamma Mia! (and the film of that musical) did for Abba's fortunes, Gary Kemp tells me he is toying with the idea of Spandau Ballet – The Musical.

"It's a great idea," the band's guitarist and chief songwriter told me at the CLIC Sargent Fantasy Ball at the Dorchester Hotel in Mayfair. With a nod to the the occasional legal spats between the band's members, Kemp added that he thought a courtroom would make a good setting."I see it with some touches of Gilbert and Sullivan and all set in a court," he says.

Fellow band member Tony Hadley seemed less enamoured of the notion: "Those sort of musicals seldom work," he said.

John Denham, the grey-haired shadow business secretary, has been a vocal supporter of the students protesting about tuition fees.

Mandrake fancies it would have been hard for him to have condemned their rowdy behaviour. As president of the Students' Union at Southampton University in the 1970s, he led an occupation of the university's administration offices.

It was in protest against the increases in student tuition fees that the university was then attempting to impose. Looking at Denham these days, one wouldn't have thought that the old boy had it in him.
