Amy Winehouse is currently writing her new album with friend and producer Mark Ronson. The songs will make up the bulk of her as yet untitled third LP release. And if you thought Back To Black was introspective and depressing, it seems you haven’t seen (or rather heard) anything yet.
The Sun is reporting that Winehouse […]
Ever since legendary British rock pioneers Led Zeppelin reformed for a one-off gig at the 02 Arena in London last December, there has been speculation over further plans for a full tour.
Firstly guitarist Jimmy Page gave the fans who had missed out on the London show hope (and there were many, including me), hope by […]
It’s a long way from being a contestant on a Simon Cowell produced reality show to becoming a number one artist on the US Billboard charts, but that is exactly what Leona Lewis has achieved, and oh, how she deserves her success.
Lewis, from Hackney, in East London, entered The X-Factor competition in 2006, and instantly […]
Keith Richards has seen fit to question the sexuality of Rolling Stone band mate Mick Jagger, and after over 40 years of sharing sexual partners, there’s not anyone who would know better than Richards.
According to the NME, Richards gave an interview to GQ magazine in support of the release of Shine A Light, the Martin […]

A few of us here on the b5 music channel have decided to get together and talk about our favourite gigs. I’ve been to far too many to list them all, so instead, I’ll focus on my experiences of the last year.
I have quite a broad taste in music, loving everything from Bjork and Joanna […]
You might think that after 45 years of making money from being in The Beatles, the surviving members, namely Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, would have enough wealth not to worry about the odd release of a few unlicensed tracks here and there.
But it seems not, as Apple Corps, the Beatles company rather than […]
This week has seen Estelle vying for the number one spot in the UK single charts with the queen of pop, Madonna, and the so called new Amy Winehouse, Duffy.
Estelle is fully expected to pip the two to number one with her first American lead release, American Boy, which also features Kanye West.
I really […]
The Futureheads are one of my favourite British bands of recent years, but one who haven’t really got the recognition they deserve.
Apart from having a top ten hit with a cover of the Kate Bush classic Hounds Of Love in 2005, the Sunderland band have had to make do with being on the fringes […]
