The Pearl Harbor star, in town to start rehearsals for a West End show, took time out to enjoy some of London's delights – and bagged a new lady friend in the process.

Review: The Pretenders at Koko

Pretend150 4 stars

Shaggy black mane, tight black trousers and inches of black eyeliner: this has been the uniform of Pretenders singer/ guitarist Chrissie Hynde since the Anglo-American new wave group formed 30 years ago, and last night it was business as usual.

Performing the final concert of the month long iTunes festival, The Pretenders showed that despite not having a hit in over a decade, they still rock.

"Here's a bunch of new songs from our new album. I don't say that very often." Hynde quipped before launching into Harmony(?)- I'll Stand By You part II and Break Up The Concrete which was as tight as pensioner's pocket book.
