Described
by Q Magazine as 'A major
talent in waiting', James
Blunt used to be a military
captain, but he left the army

resulting in a collaboration
with producer Tom Rothrock
(Beck, Elliott Smith, Badly
Drawn Boy), an album released
by Custard Records (Back To
Bedlam) and a series of sold
out shows at venues such as
Water Rats and the Carling
Academy Islington. «back

Awarded the Golden Camera Award for International Pop Artist at the start of 2007, Katie was presented with the Echo Award for International Female Artist in March 2007. October 2007 saw the release of Katie's third album Pictures, subsequently knocking Bruce Springsteen off the top spot of Billboard's pan-European chart in November.

Al Green's extraordinary voice became known to the world through a string of legendary hits in the early 1970s, classics including Tired of Being Alone, Let's Stay Together, I Can't Get Next To You, I'm Still In Love With You, Call Me, Here I Am, Let's Get Married and Love and Happiness. Recorded in Memphis with producer and arranger Willie Mitchell at Mitchell's Royal Recording Studios, those songs - and Green's falsetto screams, impassioned whispers, ecstatic cries and choked shouts - are etched into the minds of music fans everywhere. Green and Mitchell collaborated to shape a sound that defines its own place in pop and R&B music. They recorded eight albums that sold over 20 million copies worldwide, working together until 1976. At that time, Green changed his focus to gospel music, founding his own congregation in Memphis - the Full Gospel Tabernacle, where he still preaches regularly - and recording a series of albums that have earned him eight Grammys in gospel categories. «back to list » « close panel » | | | | | book by phone | | men arena | | we recommend | 0844 847 2277 | | |

With a new album in the pipeline - the first new studio album to carry the Queen name since the Freddie Mercury sessions - Queen is heading back on the road for a four-month tour, once again in the company of musician/singer/songwriter Paul Rodgers who joined the band for the highly successful 2005/2006 world tour, the European leg of which ended with the band's spectacular London Hyde Park open air concert before going on to play the US and Japan. In all, the band's tour was attended by more than a million people. Paul Rodgers' voice is one of rock's platinum assets and as a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter as front man of Free and Bad Company and as a solo artist he has written, produced and recorded some of radios biggest hits. Together Brian May, Roger Taylor and Paul Rodgers have recorded their first album's worth of material, jointly written and produced. With the title yet to be disclosed, the album is being readied for release September 1, two weeks ahead of the start of the tour. Tracks on the new Queen + Paul Rodgers album will include 'Say It's Not True', previously released at the end of last year by Queen + Paul Rodgers as a special World Aids Day download for Nelson Mandela's 46664 HIV AIDS charity, plus a 'first' for a Queen album - a cover version. The remaining tracks are all newly written by May, Taylor and Rodgers during the late 2007/early 2008 recording sessions. One of these tracks, C-lebrity, will receive a sneak preview when the band make a by-demand return to the UK's ITV Al Murray's Happy Hour for the final show on April 4. Queen's last studio album release was "Made In Heaven" released in November 1995 containing the last recordings with Freddie. The album became the band's biggest selling studio album, with world sales in excess of 20 million.
