You may remember Keith Martin; he was the subject of a past documentary aired on Channel 5 called ’70 Stone and Almost Dead’.
Following the success of the first film, The Inbetweeners hit the big screen for a second time from today.
Ask most people to name two releases by James and the chances are they will struggle past ‘Sit Down’. The 1991 re-release ( in 1989 the original release reached no. 77 in the charts, two years later it shot to number 2) was a double edged sword for the Mancunian lads, on the one hand it not only catapulted them into the Britpop era, it placed the song into one of the most remembered songs of that decade. But its success drained the band when it came to live performances, for a couple of years James omitted the track from their sets. It even nearly didn’t make an airing tonight, although fortunately when Tim Booth was inundated by tweets saying no request asking for sitting on ones behind would bring children to tears, the band had no choice but to include the tune in tonight’s performance.
Actress Catherine Tyldesley shamed her agent this week and showed her lack of respect for disabled people by parking in a blue badge bay.
The Black Keys – they’ve yet to have chart success on these shores. Their highest entry in the UK charts came with ‘Fever’ earlier this year when their recent single peaked at number 57 matching their 2012 release ‘Gold on the Ceiling’. Album wise the Americans haven’t done too badly thanks to the British public, their latest record ‘Turn Blue’ reached No. 2 although it’s their former LP ‘El Camino’ which will provide most of the tracks tonight as they round off this year’s Latitude festival.
‘BYE BYE BALADO’ – The emotional message which was plastered over the hairdressing salon backstage in the artist garden at this years’ T in the Park.
Today he didn’t feel like doing anything...apart from performing in front of thousands of people on the third and final day at Wireless.
Twenty Four hours ago organisers of the Wireless festival announced their Saturday headliner Drake had cancelled their slot at the London festival. It was a dilemma which would take a miracle to solve, not even Christ himself could find a suitable replacement at such short notice (although he could have probably turned the watered down beer into...well, beer!) There was only one person who could save the event, the holy grail of rap, step forward ‘Yeezus’.
Those with severe disabilities may need caring at one stage or another throughout their lives, usually it’s a parent or a guardian, although in some cases the role is reversed and it’s the children who take on the responsibilities.
Before we use the Caps Lock key let’s rewind to a few months ago when Metallica were finally announced as the Saturday headliner for Glastonbury. The delay was due to the Californians booking at Sonisphere, a festival which is targeted towards fans worshipping heavy metal.
A percentage of festival promoters are being asked to book more female comedians on their bill. The plead follows a statement released this morning which sees a group of stand-up comediennes believing their talents are being left behind when it comes to major summer events.
For those who don’t use them mobility scooters can be annoying. There we go, we’ve said it! It’s not the type of statement you expect to read on a site dedicated to disability, but it’s the truth...a percentage of able-bodied people find those chunks on wheels crawling around supermarket aisles and chugging along roads an inconvenience.
The Saturday headliner for this years’ Isle of Wight festival remained inconspicuous for a few months. Biffy Clyro and Calvin Harris would round off Friday, Kings of Leon had the job off closing the event, but as for the act sandwiched between these heavyweights the slot remained a mystery.
