After a hugely successful UK tour earlier this year, Kings of the charts Westlife will be hitting the road once again in March 2011 to wow audiences up and down the country.

Revered for their spectacular live shows, created with visionary William Baker (Kylie, Leona, Bjork), the band will be visiting arenas in 9 cities throughout March 2011. The shows will include the band’s biggest hits as well as tracks off their 2009 double platinum album ‘Where We Are’ and from the brand new album they are currently in the studio working on, due for release in November this year.

Westlife are among the world’s most prolific touring acts, with nine sell out tours already under their belts, including playing to a sell out crowd at the legendary Croke Park in Dublin. They have sold more tickets at London’s Wembley Arena than any other act and have played a record number of dates there, an amazing 25.

No pop band can compare to Westlife’s extraordinary success, having been certified by the BPI as the biggest selling band of the past decade. During their 11 years at the top of pop’s hierarchy, the band has sold over 43 million records globally. In the UK alone they have scored ten multi-platinum albums and a record breaking 14 No.1 hits (behind only Elvis and The Beatles).

They have also picked up innumerable awards and appeared on hundreds of magazine covers around the world. They are the only recording artists to win the prestigious ‘Record Of The Year’ an incredible four times (other top awards include two BRITS and an MTV Europe Award).

02/09/2010 16:10:43

Byrne is a hard man. A fixer. His journey through the ganglands of Glasgow’s East End has taken him from teenage truant to petty criminal to gangster and to prison.

“Ma roads mapped oot fur me. Ah keep a chib over the door an a blade in ma bedroom”

The Hard Man is an intense and stylized exploration of notorious gangster turned artist Jimmy Boyle’s early life and of the cult of male violence on the streets of Glasgow – a world dominated by struggle and brutality, success and failure, victims and perpetrators. And a world still frighteningly part of Scotland today.

This brand new production is the first major revival for over thirty years.

Britain’s favourite girl group, The Saturdays, have announced a massive 17 date UK tour for February 2011. Una Healy, Frankie Sandford, Rochelle Wiseman, Mollie King and Vanessa White are experts on the live circuit having performed to thousands last year on their sold out 2009 tour and have since dazzled fans at festivals across the country. Rochelle says:

‘We couldn’t be more excited for the ‘Headlines’ tour. Performing live is absolutely our favourite part of being in The Saturdays, and we can’t wait to see all our fans up and down the country!’

The Saturdays new album ‘Headlines!’ released through Fascination Records, went straight into the UK albums chart at number 3 upon release, following the smash hit single ‘Missing You’, the UK’s current number 1 airplay record.

'Headlines!’ is an eight-track album that includes a handful of sparkling new songs - plus Ego and their number two smash from last year, Forever Is Over. The new album is the result of studio sessions that took place during Ego’s four-month chart reign at the start of the year.

Since they debuted in 2007 the girls have sold nearly 2 million records and racked up a very impressive seven top ten singles. They have fronted a major campaign as the face of Impulse and are currently starring in ‘The Saturdays: 24/7’ - a prime-time behind-the scenes documentary for ITV2.

Jimmy Carr – Laughter Therapy

Since the turn of the century Jimmy has been a ‘fun slinger’ of international repute.

‘Laughter Therapy’ is his ninth solo show. It’ll be an evening of none stop jokes, gags and banter.

If you’ve got a sick sense of humour then maybe laughter is the best medicine.

Not to be taken if you have a sensitive disposition or an overactive moral compass.

Recommended dose: one brand new show to be taken annually (I said annually).

Faithless @ SECC - Hall 4 From 07/12/2010 18:30:00 - 07/12/2010 18:30:00

25/08/2010 17:04:18

After a summer full of acclaimed festival appearances including last weekend’s V Festival, Faithless have announced a nine date arena tour starting at Bournemouth International Centre on Tuesday 30^th November ending at London’s The O2 Arena on Saturday 11th December.

With the full force of a band as hungry as when they set out fifteen years ago (before they’d racked up 10 million record sales), Faithless released new album The Dance earlier this year on their own label Nate’s Tunes. The Dance sees Maxi Jazz, Sister Bliss and Rollo reach the bar that their back-cat sets so high, and Maxi reckons its “chock-a-block with dance tunes which we hope will be the soundtrack to many Saturday nights for a while to come.”

Their new single Feeling Good (released 26^th September) which premiered on channel 4 last weekend features Faithless family member Dido. Also getting in the vocal booth for tracks on the album The Dance are Dougy Mandagi (The Temper Trap), Itch (The King Blues) and classical singer Mia Maestro.

Their influence from being at the top of the pile for a decade and a half is easy to spot these days: think Calvin Harris’ recent number 1 or the countless tracks with a house groove, riff and rapper, Faithless’ signature sound adopted by many, bettered by none.

And with a new record, comes a new chance to see a band who have inspired awe in even the most jaded gigger. The full Faithless live experience will be exploding on stages around the UK throughout this winter.

At the age 21 he packed up his songs, his guitar, his harmonica and his ambition and moved to New York City where he worked various odd jobs by day, and spent evening’s buskin in Grand Central Station. Young, confident and generally optimistic Forbert (and his music) flourished in Greenwich Village’s tough-but-romantic bohemian lifestyle where his Southern folkie persona was in marked contrast to the harder edged new wave scene that was thriving at the time. Gigs at the renowned Folk City led to his first paying gig in NYC at Kenny's Castaways while an audition at Hilly's Crystal's fabled CBGB's produced opening act slots for artists ranging from Talking Heads to John Cale.
