The view from my 18th-floor hotel room in Amsterdam is making me dizzy. I want to step away from the window but I can't take my eyes off it. Far, far below, six or seven sets of train tracks meander in and out, snaking over the ground towards Centraal Station. On the river IJ, wide barges slowly make their way upriver and little blue ferries dash back and forth between. This is Amsterdam but there isn't a crooked canal house, cobbled street or brown cafe in sight. It's the vibrant, edgy docklands, full of gleaming glass and steel, clubs and hotels, rivers and islands. In the distance, the church spires and old canal-house roofs of the older part of the city to the south seem like another world.

IT veteran Matthew McGrillis is hoping to offer small businesses and start-ups a chance to create simple e-commerce stores through a venture called www.webshopworld.co.uk During his 12 years in IT, McGrillis was involved in building up large-scale sites for clients including the Inland Revenue.

He said: "The system is built using Enterprise Java, which is used by all the banks for their websites.

JACK RODWELL and Seamus Coleman are facing a "huge" season when they must cement regular first team places if they are to progress at Everton, says Alan Stubbs. The midfield pair both played 90 minutes as Stubb's reserve side lost 2-1 to Tranmere Rovers in the Liverpool Senior Cup final last night, and neither managed to shine at Prenton Park.

THERE'S a great party coming up and we're all invited ... Marty Wilde, John Leyton and Eden Kane, backed by The Wildcats, are undertaking a 30-date national tour throughout October and November, performing all their greatest hits and rekindling memories of a fantastic time. Eden Kane is one of three brothers - all of whom have had hits. Apart from himself, there was Peter Sarstedt (Where Do You Go To My Lovely) and Robin Sarstedt (My Resistance is Low). But it was Eden - whose real name is Richard Sarstedt - who came first with a hit career lasting from 1961 to 1964.

Aside, perhaps, from its influence on the transcendent, eclectic virtuosity of Robin Williamson and Mike Heron's Incredible String Band, there is nothing exceptional about Scottish traditional music. Compared with that of, say, Mali, Java, Madagascar, Kazakhstan, let alone the entire Indian sub-continent - all of which snatch a divine harmony from the very air - it is a joyless discord of relentlessly repetitive, skriking fiddles, manically flashy squeezeboxes, dull as ditchwater guitar-strumming, bitterly wailing pipes and interminable, lamentatious doggerel howling, the whole grim cacophony probably rendered tolerable only by the mass inebriation of its adherents. It would be an enrichment of mankind's musical heritage were this caterwauling never to be heard again and it comes as no ...
