A band that got to number 6 in the charts 21 years ago will headine this year’s TT entertainment.

Tourism bod Rob Callister MHK says Reef are “an exciting pop combo who did that song about putting your hands on your hole”.

It’s understood nobody in government could name a band with a more recent hit – but an appearance by Suzi Quatro was narrowly averted.

“The profile of our visitors is changing,” Mr Callister said, “Nowadays they demand more from the TT and a mid-90s obscure guitar indie group is just the thing to attract them to our £300 a day VIP area.”
