FESTIVAL favourites Ash will be playing at Yeovil's Orange Box tonight.

The Irish threesome shot to fame during the Britpop era of the mid-90s with a string of top ten singles, including Goldfinger and Oh Yeah and A Life Less Ordinary.

They boast two platinum-selling albums, 1977 and Free All Angels, and landed the number two spot in Q magazine's poll of '50 Bands To See Before You Die'.

Girl From Mars, arguably the band's most famous song, has also been used by NASA as the hold music on their phone lines.

Fronted by singer and guitarist Tim Wheeler, Ash are coming to Yeovil as part of their A to Z tour, which will see them play 26 towns and cities across the UK in almost alphabetical order.

They will be supported by fellow countrymen the Panama Kings.

The gig starts at 8pm - for ticket details contact the Orange Box on 08458-738299.
