Rock4Life music festival cancelled

A new music festival in the Highlands which was to feature veteran rockers Status Quo has been cancelled.

Rock4Life was due to be held on 1 May at Whiteness, near Ardersier, and raise money for the Highland Hospice.

The second day of the two-day event, at which pop acts Sugababes and McFly were due to appear, had already been cancelled because of poor ticket sales.

Highland Council confirmed they had now been told by organisers the festival would no longer be going ahead.

Rock4Life was expected to attract a crowd of about 20,000.

A spokesman for Highland Council said they had been informed the decision to call off the entire event was taken due to the "knock-on effect" from the loss of the second day, which created a cash-flow problem.

Hospice benefit

He said: "Everything was in place for the event to go ahead and the organisers had the proper permissions.

"This has come as a disappointment."

The website for the festival, which was organised by Caledonian Productions, has been shut down.

David Welch, fundraising director for Highland Hospice, said: "At the end of the day we were to benefit from the profits for the event.

"We didn't know how much that was going to be and it is not something we budgeted for, but we are disappointed if it isn't going to go ahead."

Breaking Sugababes News~New Album started

Sugababes begin work on new album
Wednesday, April 21 2010, 13:17 BST

By Robert Copsey



The Sugababes have started working on their new album, their manager has revealed.

The group, which Heidi Range recently insisted are not splitting despite poor sales on their latest album Sweet 7, are reportedly going back in to the studio to start work on their eighth album.

The trio's manager Mark Hargreaves has now spoken out, insisting that the group are in high spirits and are working on a new record.

Hargreaves told Now: "They're a very happy group today. They can't wait to get back into the studio and bring back that feelgood factor."

The magazine also reports that their previous hit single 'Girls' recorded with former Sugababe Keisha Buchanan will be re-recorded with new member Jade Ewan's vocals, and will be used to promote US department store JC Penney.

Hargreaves said: "It's brought a massive resurgence of interest in the band over there."

Buchanan is reportedly in talks about penning a tell-all book on her time in the band.

NST Music Makers ~ Sweet 7 Review

Get it and sing happy! SUGABABES Sweet 7 (Universal Music) I DON’T know the members of this British pop girl band these days, but I guess it doesn’t matter because the music from the group sounds pretty generic. Danceable pop.

Mindless electro beats.

Lyrics oozing promises of sex.

It’s all found in this seventh album from this chameleon girl band whose brand has been around for a decade.

Amazing, isn’t it? The sleeve notes state that Sugababes now comprises Heidi Range, Amelie Berrabah and Jade Ewen.

The songs are all radio-friendly. Of the 11 tracks, Wear My Kiss is the most memorable for its use of the vocoder and the chorus: “You wanna wear my kiss/All over your body/Once you try it on, you can’t live without it.” Standouts include the sweet bubblegum pop of Sweet & Amazing and the ballad Little Miss Perfect.

While nothing from Sweet 7 reach the mashup fun of Freak Like Me, not even Sean Kingston of You’re Beautiful Girl fame on Miss Everything, the tracks are club bangers, especially She’s A Mess.

The album is great for electro-pop fans.

Keisha Buchanan - Buchanan 'Planning Tell-All Sugababes Book'





Buchanan 'Planning Tell-All Sugababes Book'
British singer KEISHA BUCHANAN is reportedly planning to lift the lid on the SUGABABES' troubles in a new tell-all book.

The group has been dogged by rumours of infighting over the years and now contains none of the founding members.

Buchanan - who starred in the original line-up with Siobhan Donaghy and Mutya Buena in 1998 - left the band last year (09) amid allegations she was forced out by the record label.

And now she's planning a book to make the band's problems public, according to Britain's Now magazine.

A source tells the publication, "Keisha's in discussions about writing a book about her time in the band. Publishers have been after her for ages, but it's only now she's seriously considering it. At the moment it's still in the initial stages, but she's very excited.

"The book will chart the highs and lows and obviously deal with the very public split last year. Keisha's always kept quiet about what really happened even though the others have spoken at length about it."

Buchanan's former bandmates Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah now front the band with new member Jade Ewen. Last month (Mar10) Buchanan teamed up with Buena and Donaghy to launch a legal challenge for the right to use the title Sugababes.
