As usual, events take place across the city centre with a range of music styles for all ages. This year our Old Market Square's stage presents a variety of retro styles for perpetual teenagers of all vintages, from 70s disco to 80s rockabilly and classic 60s pop to contemporary artists who give a big nod to the past.

• Saturday 29 May, Rock'n'Roll afternoon and Disco Night
• Sunday 30 May, an afternoon of Rhythm and Blues followed by return of the Joe Loss Orchestra by popular demand
• Monday 31 May, Returns to the 60's...
• Ballroom Marquee...
• Arboretum Records presents Nottingham's Talents...

	Dress up for disco in Old Market Square with Boney M, featuring original line up member Maizie Williams, plus The Real Thing. Let's have a massive sing-a-long to Boney M classics like Daddy Cool, Brown Girl in the Ring and Hooray! Hooray! It's a Holi-Holiday.
	Rock'n'rollers can put on their blue suede shoes for the likes of Matchbox, The Jets and the legendary Wee Willie Harris.
	We'll also have Bend Me Shape Me with the New Amen Corner and guests, Animals and very special guest Spencer Davis, plus the Fab Four doing, well, what the other fab four used to do.
	All this plus the likes of Imelda May, Dr Feelgood, and the much requested return to City Pulse of Todd Miller and the Joe Loss Orchestra, stars of last year with their eclectic mix of popular tunes.
	Also returning is our Ballroom Marquee venue at the Robin Hood Statue, giving our legendary folk hero a chance to dance with you to a mix of salsa, tango, swing and big band. Remember that this year May is Robin Hood Month!
	New for this year is an additional venue on Bank Holiday Monday for Nottingham's own Arboretum Records, promising some of the fantastic acts the city has to offer. The programme is still tightly under wraps, so keep checking the web site for more details.

And as ever we'll have all sorts of street music popping up throughout the city centre, enlivening your shopping visit, enriching your lunch and tea time experience, or maybe just giving you a pleasant surprise as you walk through the city centre. This year will include a special day for children and families.

For more serious party people, don't forget that Nottingham gives you its diverse offer of restaurants, bars and nightclubs, many with live music or DJs. There's something for everyone – make a weekend of it.

City Pulse is guaranteed to get your hips swaying and your toes tapping. And it's completely FREE, so you can make a special day trip, bring the family or just take a break from your shopping to enjoy the sounds and atmosphere.
