POP band East 17 have reformed for a third time - but without former frontman Brian Harvey.

The Walthamstow group helped put the area on the map during the 1990s with a string of hits and four top 10 albums.

The band split in 1997 and have had several attempts at reforming since then.

But this is the first time they have been fronted by a new member - Slough singer-songwriter Blair Dreelan.

The group are playing a UK tour this summer, including a show at the O2 Academy in Islington on Tuesday July 26.
