December 31, 2010 By 1 Comment

Urban Myth Club return to the dance music scene with a new album due for a late February release. But as their 2006 debut ‘Helium’ sold over 10,000 copies (and counting) and tracks still pop up on the playlist on late night radio or in a down-and-dirty dive bar as often as they do at Hampstead yoga classes – some might say they’ve never been away… [Read more…]

Lee Mead leads the line up for SO Festival 2010

May 10, 2010 By Leave a Comment

First it was flying drummers and the best of Lincolnshire’s unsigned bands, now it’s the West End stage that’s coming to Skegness as part of the SO Festival 2010.

Lee Mead will bring his show to the Skegness Embassy Theatre on Sunday 25th July.

The singer, who hit the big time after winning BBC series Any Dream Will Do, will be performing songs from his latest album Nothing Else Matters, as well as well-known West End classics.
Lee is about to take on the role of Fiyero in the musical Wicked at the Apollo Victoria Theatre from May 10th 2010 before touring the UK with his second studio album.

Speaking of the chance to perform at the Embassy Theatre, Lee said: “I remember doing some work experience at similar theatres to Skegness Embassy at The Cliffs Pavilion, Southend, assisting with the spotlight. I used to think, ‘Wow, wouldn’t it be great if it was me on stage one day’, and now it is. It’s all a bit surreal, but amazing at the same time.”
