Diana Vickers announced as Scouting For Girls support act

Adam Davies — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 16:02:32 +0000

Scouting For Girls achieved a first UK number one in April with This Ain’t A Love Song, the first single from their second album Everybody Wants To Be On TV. The London band have just revealed that the support act for their concert at High Lodge in Thetford Forest on July 8th 2010 will be another chart topper: X Factor semi-finalist Diana Vickers.

Diana Vickers reached the top spot with her debut single, Once, just a few weeks later and her album Songs From The Tainted Cherry Tree followed it to number one in mid-May.

Scouting For Girls tickets are available for all their remaining dates, including the Thetford Forest gig, which will be part of the Forestry Commission Tour and prices begin at £26 from Gigantic.

The Forestry Commission was set up to protect and expand Britain’s most beautiful woodland areas, and other acts supporting the initiative include JLS, Blondie, Katie Melua, The Saturdays, Status Quo, Doves, James Morrison, Keane and Simply Red.

In fact, Forestry Commission Tour tickets are also available for all these acts, with Doves tickets the cheapest at £16 from Ticketmaster subsidiary GetMeIn.

Revenue from the concerts will go towards the regeneration of UK forests.

Doves tickets available now!

Adam Davies — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 13:04:06 +0000

Doves have evolved a great deal more than many bands. In the 1990s they were a dance act called Sub Sub, who reached number 3 in the UK singles chart with their song Ain’t No Love (Ain’t No Use). Then their studio burnt down. The group had to start afresh, and instead of picking up where they left off they began to craft a melancholy alternative rock sound and renamed themselves Doves. Debut album Lost Souls proved a big hit with both fans and critics, and so finally Doves had found their niche.

Doves embark on a UK tour this spring, including a date in support of the Forestry Commission and an Eden Session at the Eden Project, as well as appearances at RockNess, Isle Of Wight and V Festivals! Tickets are on sale now, and a full list of dates is below:

4th April 2010 – Leas Cliff Hall, Folkestone
28th April 2010 – Hull City Hall
29th April 2010 – Leicester De Montfort Hall
1st May 2010 – Glasgow O2 Academy

Tom Chaplin from Keane has new addiction… to golf!

Adam Davies — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 18:11:10 +0000

The lead singer of Sussex band Keane, Tom Chaplin, was much maligned in the media for his addictions to both drink and drugs. He went to famous rehab clinic The Priory in order to recover, and has instead developed another obsession. After Alice Cooper found salvation from his alcoholism in the form of golf, Chaplin decided to take up the sport as well. It has done wonders for the Keane frontman, and he has now achieved an impressive handicap of eight!

Forestry Commission Tour gets underway in June

Adam Davies — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:20:47 +0000

The untouched areas of Britain’s countryside are an incredibly beautiful environment for many species of wildlife and plants. However, humanity seems to be doing its best to destroy this part of the country through urbanisation, litter and neglect. The Forestry Commission is a non-ministerial government department which was set up to ensure that Britain’s forests are protected and expanded in the best possible way, and part of this mission is funded by the Forestry Commission Tour.

The Forestry Commission decided the best way to combat the issue of receding forests was to try and get some of music’s top acts to perform in Britain’s stunning settings, and so the tour was founded.

JLS:
July 16th – Westonbirt Arboretum, Gloucester
