Don't say you haven't...

Heard... Barry Manilow, Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones, Neil Diamond, David Bowie, Luciano Pavarotti - even if the answer is yes, you'll have probably not seen one man recreate all these celebrities in his own image. Joe Longthorne is a jack of all trades, a singer, musician and entertainer in the traditional style. Recognised by the Variety Club of Great Britain as Most Promising Artiste of the Year, he recently embarked upon a UK Tour.

To 7 March, Green Room, Cafe Royal, Regent St, London (0171-437 9090).

Seen... the fine art of Martin Shortis and Catherine Goodman. Goodman makes a series of intricate studies of her subject, through which she establishes intimacy. These drawings and gouaches are a counterpoint to her painting show at Waddington's Gallery in London's Cork Street. "At the low tide of inspiration the artist trawls the shallows of imagination," claims Martin Shortis enticingly, and the spectator enters a half-real, half-fictional world. Both artists are tutors in Fine Art.

Ends today. The Prince of Wales Institute of Architecture, 14 Gloucester Gate, Regent's Park, NW1 4HG (0171-916 7380).
