Back in the early 1970s, the heart-throb corner of pop's cattle market was colonised by - take your pick - David Cassidy and the Osmonds. Anyone opt for the Osmonds? Surely not, but there's still an audience for Cassidy. Now into his fifties and armed with a new record deal, he recently played an American tour that was well- received by his fans - many of them married women who still keep a little place in their hearts for David, if his website is anything to go by. The boyish-hippie Partridge Family looks have changed, I'm afraid, but the songs remain the same: his new album, Now and Then, features 23 "re-arrangements" of his 1970s hits, and he's even hooked up with Hear'Say for a new take on his old single, "Could it be Forever". Well, could it? See for yourselves, on his first tour for 15 years. Clyde Auditorium, Glasgow (0870-040 4000) tomorrow; City Hall, Newcastle (0191- 261 2606) Wed
