Wednesday's top moments

Earth, Wind and Fire
7.30pm, Hammersmith Apollo, Queen Caroline Street, W6. £29.50-£33.50. Tube: Hammersmith The exuberant Seventies funk band return, with Maurice White and Phil Bailey still at the helm. They've got a new album coming out soon - their first in seven years - so you can expect a fair smattering of new material alongside crossover classics such as After The Love Has Gone and Boogie Wonderland. A live setting is surely the best place to marvel at their richly layered musicianship and dance away to their blaring horns and pulsating rhythms.
