We’ve never been ones to believe in karma. But if there’s ever a time where we’ve almost been convinced it was when Rihanna stacked it on stage, in front of thousands, in the middle of a raunchy, smug and cocky dance routine. Yes!

Ok. so it’s all over and while all the Glastonbury revellers make their way back home (or rather crawl through horrendous traffic/get squashed on a train)the rest of us get to assess the ‘life changing experience that we were all so stupid to miss out on’.

Usually, by this time of year, the organisers of the Glastonbury Festival have released a bit of information regarding the acts booked for the event. However, this year they seem to have been very quiet and even the rumour mill has been relatively subdued.
If you are lucky enough to have a ticket for the festival [...]

Despite there being plenty of irritating music in the charts at the moment, we can be thankful for one thing at least – it appears that the trend of the faux-cockney urban ‘poet’ has come to an end.
Acts like Lily Allen and Kate Nash dominated the airwaves a year or so ago, but we’ve heard [...]

Attending a music festival is pretty much the best fun you can have, especially if you travel abroad for one. This way you are able to combine the fun of a holiday with the incredible experience afforded by a music festival.
One of the most popular festivals on the continent is the Benicassim festival. The attraction [...]

This will be her eighth solo effort and tenth if you count collaborations with long-term musical kindred spirit John Parish.
