Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, the penultimate Potter book, is one of the darkest movies yet in the series, and the dark theme of the trailer below promises to be the scariest film yet from the Harry Potter series.

Countdown: Carol Vorderman 'Forced Out'

Carol Vorderman and Des O'Connor on Countdown

More details about Carol Vorderman's surprise departure from Channel 4's 'Countdown' have been revealed in the media . Claims that Carol was 'forced out' by bosses have been printed in the News of the World. "The show survived easily without Richard Whiteley and it will survive easily without you." Carol was told as she was given just 48 hours to take a 90% pay cut as programme makers faced cuts in their budget.
"To be honest, I loved Countdown so much I was thinking of taking the cut. In fact, in the right circumstances I'd have done it for FREE—but it was obvious they wanted me out." Carol told the News of the World.
Her agent rang her while she was in the dressing room on Wednesday telling her, "I don't know how to tell you this, but I've just had a letter asking you to take a 90 per cent pay cut." Carol told us: "It was non-negotiable, take it or leave it. I was shocked."
Carol had spoken out following rumours claiming she had greedily demanded a HALF A MILLION POUND pay rise and the main presenters job.

Carol Vorderman Quits Countdown


Carol Vorderman has sensationally announced that she is to quit Countdown after 26 years on the Channel 4 show. The longest running Channel 4 programme is now in turmoil after Carol Vorderman told bosses she planned to leave after failing to agree a new contract. Rumours say Countdown producers wanted to cut costs and Carol could not agree a new contract.

Glastonbury 2009: Early Ticket Details

Glastonbury Lives On.......


Tickets for Glastonbury 2009 will go on sale early, with 100,000 festival-goers being able to purchase tickets in October 2008. Instead of paying the £170+ expected price, a £50 deposit will be accepted with the remainder being paid April 2009. If fans change their mind during that time, they will only have to pay a £10 charge.

Demand is expected to be high following this years Glastonbury success and the promise of more traditional headliners instead of a controversial headline act like Jay-Z. Michael Eavis revealed that some bands are already on board for Glastonbury 2009 with three or four headliners in mind.

It cost about £22m to stage Glastonbury and competition is tougher than ever as festivals run right across the UK during the summer, yet almost £2m will be donated to charity. Instead of paying headline acts more than £200,000, Eavis told the BBC that performing at Glastonbury is good for the artist, record sales and record companies. He was also pleased a younger crowd had returned to Glastonbury.

TV: Emmerdale Beats Eastenders In Ratings Battle

ITV's Emmerdale has won the head to head soap battle against the BBC's Eastenders. Last night the popular soaps were shown at the same time as Emmerdale aired an hour long episode between 7 and 8pm, featuring Katie going into labour. It was watched by 5.8m (33% audience share), beating Eastenders by almost a million.

Eastenders storyline of Tanya calling a peace meeting with her estranged husband Max failed to ignite viewers, just 4.9m tuned in, giving Eastenders it's fourth worse viewing figure of the past five years. Often when the two soaps go head to head, it is the BBC who emerge victorious - but this week it will be ITV who can claim the soap battle victory.

Godiva Festival Coventry: The Enemy

Tom Clarke and Liam Watts @ Godiva Festival, Coventry


Headlining the Godiva Festival in Coventry was the natural choice for The Enemy, having achieved so much during the past year. While Tom Clarke, Andy Hopkins and Liam Watts have enjoyed a number one album and awards, they have always remained firmly down to earth and loyal to Coventry.

Coventry welcomes The Enemy


Tonight was the night The Enemy returned home to Coventry and put on a free performance in front of thousands. This year there was no tent to restrict the numbers and no matter how much it rained it didn't stop the masses from standing firm in their support of the lads who have done so much for this city. Slowly the umbrella's came down and the hands went up in unison as the whole of Godiva sang "We'll Live And Die In These Towns" and "You're Not Alone" - being reminded by Tom Clarke that the song was dedicated to the ex-workers from Peugeot.

Liam Watts on drums

Andy Hopkins and Liam Watts proved as energetic as ever through out the show, with Andy darting from side to side on stage - wisely avoiding crowd surfing and thus keeping his clothing during the duration of the set. As well as playing hits from the debut album, the Coventry crowds were treated to a new tune as a taster for things to come. The debut album went to number one exactly a year ago and has remained in the UK album chart virtually the whole year, sitting at #85 this week.

Godiva Festival Coventry: The Enemy Videos

The Enemy performed at Coventry's Godiva Festival and here are a selection of videos from the headline act. Thousands braced the rain and cold winds and stayed at the free festival in support of The Enemy, who have done so much for Coventry.

I wasn't in a very good position to record so these are the best I could manage this time around..................

Godiva Festival Coventry: Kombat Breakers

Kombat Breakers @ Godiva

The Kombat Breakers performed at Coventry's Godiva Festival as they plan to release their first single following their success on Britain's Got Talent last year. The break dancers gave the festival crowd something different on the Main Stage as they jumped, danced and slam dunked around the stage to their track "Caramel".



Millions saw these Coventry lads on ITV and now they continue to inspire not only the young people of Coventry but also teenagers around the nation in a positive way.

Godiva Festival Coventry: Pint Shot Riot

Pint Shot Riot @ Godiva Festival Coventry



Pint Shot Riot believe Coventry has an opportunity to be firmly established on the musical map and then put on a stunner of a show at the Godiva Festival to prove it is true. The band stand at the edge of something big as their single "Start Digging" is released on Monday 7th July.

They are another proud band that big up Coventry and told the crowds they are the one's that make a difference. As fans danced, moshed and sang along, Pint Shot Riot gave the happy crowds something to remember from the Godiva Festival. I heard people saying the band were better live than on their MySpace page and reactions from the crowds were clear to see - Coventry loves Pint Shot Riot.


As well as playing their familiar tunes, the lads also played a new track, which was an instant hit with the masses - watch the video below and judge for yourself. Hopefully many of those in attendance will now do their bit in helping local music and support Pint Shot Riot in their bid to make it big by purchasing the single on Monday.

Godiva Festival Coventry: The Ripps


The Ripps @ Godiva Festival, Coventry

The Ripps were on the Main Stage again this weekend at Coventry's Godiva Festival and played a combination of new and old songs that injected enthusiasm into the crowds that had gathered in anticipation. No-one was left disappointed because Patch, Raul and Rachel gave another fantastic performance. Even when the rains came down, it didn't dampen the young people that were jumping around to the sound of SKA with The Ripps.

Raul and Rachel


Patch Ripp

Even from the stage you can feel the humility and genuine appreciation that The Ripps have, they are a band that have loyally promoted Coventry and love playing in front of their growing fan base. The Ripps deserve to be signed up to a major record label because the wider audience are missing out on the new sounds of SKA music. The videos below give a taste, but the quality does not do The Ripps justice. Check out their MySpace page and grab a listen to their tunes and get to know The Ripps better.................

Oasis Sales Climb Thanks To Jay-Z

Oasis have seen their sales rise this week thanks to Jay-Z and that controversial Glastonbury performance. The US rap star used Oasis 'Wonderwall' as his opening song and now the former hit looks set to re-enter the UK charts on Sunday.

Other artists such as Kings of Leon have seen two of their albums storm up the charts in the mid weeks, while Jay-Z has failed to benefit from the much talked about Glastonbury headliner. His current album 'The Black Album' is only number 80, selling just over 700 copies this week.

Looks like Oasis had the final laugh.............

Glastonbury 2008: Sunday Review

Barn Dancing - one of the many attractions @ Glastonbury

Sunday - Newton Faulkner / Jack Penate / Scouting For Girls / Neil Diamond / Goldfrapp

Glastonbury Pics: HERE

A lazy start to the day with a walk to the Jazz World stage for even more rest before trying to watch Newton Faulkner at the crowded Other Stage. His simple guitar playing and humble attitude was a pleasure to watch, even if I couldn't hear him very well because I was so far away. eventually I left the crowds and grabbed a view from the road behind and stayed there for Jack Penate and Scouting For Girls. It was a view from the bushes but it was crowd free and I liked that.
Scouting For Girls @ Glastonbury

Jack Penate was another down to earth musician that was lapping up the privilege of performing in front of thousands at Glastonbury. Crowds had shown up in their thousands once again as the sun shone through broken clouds from time to time. Scouting For Girls livened up the Glastonbury faithful with a string of hits and got everyone joining in their especially written Glastonbury song 'See You Next Year At Glastonbury'. Perfect timing to go and join my friends as we packed up our tent and headed one last time to the Pyramid Stage.

Neil Diamond was belting out the tunes and it looked like capacity crowds were watching as well as singing along to his classic tunes. I was even joining in during 'Forever in Blue Jeans' as I marvelled at the sight before me. The final act we saw at Glastonbury was Goldfrapp, who seemed a strange choice for the main stage but proved their worth as they captivated us in time with their hits.
Goldfrapp @ Glastonbury
Time to head home and reality, but it was a funny end as I got home at 02:15am to find myself locked out, having to get my sleeping bag out and spend the rest of the night on my doorstep. Now I've got the Glastonbury bug and can't wait for Glastonbury 2008 - no matter who headlines, the festival is more than any one artist.

Scouting For Girls - Heartbeat @ Glastonbury

Glastonbury 2008: Saturday Review

Amy Winehouse @ Glastonbury

Saturday - Shakin' Stevens / A Human / The Blessing / Massukos / Eric Bibb / Joan Armatrading/ Will Young / The Grid / Amy Winehouse / Massive Attack

Glastonbury Pics: HERE

Today the sun was out and spirits were high for the second day at Glastonbury, the mud was drying but the hangover was kicking in as the tent warmed up to the morning sun. What better wake up call can you have than the classic Shakin' Stevens? I couldn't resist going to have a gander and watch him perform 'Green Door' and 'Marie' - Not bad for the first performer of the day.

I went to explore the Glastonbury site a bit more (apparently it's the size of Bath) and ended up in the Dance Village watching a band called A Human, who put on the best performance I was to see this year at Glastonbury. Each of the six band members put on a performance to be proud of, the lead singer was so energetic throughout, at one point leaping from the stage and dancing with the crowds. Then taking his shirt off, waving it in the air while rolling on the floor outside the tent - pure genius! This was the band that made a lasting favourable impression on me and hope they do well, especially since the lead singer had just quit work to become a full time musician.
Muddy dancers @ Glastonbury

The afternoon was spent relaxing on the ground at Jazz World listening to the delightful sounds of The Blessing, adding an air of spirituality. Massukos treated the crowds to the vibe of Mozambique followed by Eric Bibb and the legendary Joan Armatrading, who won over the audience like she did back in the 70's.

It was nice and mellow just chilling out to the sounds from the Jazz World stage then it was time to move on and capture more music in the form of Will Young in the Avalon Tent. He proved to be a popular attraction with many more people outside trying to listen in on his gentle performance. I gave up trying to listen so we moved to Dance West for some busting moves with The Grid - not even a drug in sight as we were taken back to the early 90's "rave" tunes.
Crowds have fun at Amy Winehouse performance

Amy Winehouse was another highlight for Glastonbury, while she may be out of it during songs, I loved her voice and her tribute to Coventry band The Specials was touching. 'A Message To You Rudy' and 'You're Wondering Now' added credibility to her much talked about appearance.
The night was concluded with Massive Attack, while not my cup of tea, the stage lighting was amazing and the crowds loved the variety of tunes presented.
