Brewers defend music sponsorship The drinks industry has reacted angrily to a call for the government to ban brewers from sponsoring live music. Events like the Reading Festival could be affected if the government acts on advice from the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD). It says alcohol adverts at music venues are contributing to an increase in drinking amongst young people. T In The Park sponsor InBev said a ban would make little difference and accused the ACMD of grabbing headlines. The company, which owns brands including Stella Artois and Tennent's, has backed T in the Park, which takes place each August at Balado, near Kinross in western …

Any other fans of Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly (aka Sam Duckworth) around here? I first heard of him about a month or so ago when i heard I-Spy on Radio 1 at work. After a few listens i loved it and i had to find out more. The new single The Chronicles of a Bohemian Teenager (Pt 1) is out today. I think this and Call Me Ishmael are my two fave tracks of his so far, although i haven't been disappointed by any of what i've heard yet. You can check him out here http://www.getcapewearcapefly.com and here http:// http://www.myspace.com/getcapewearcapefly

Immediate effect http://www.myspace.com/theimmediate Irish bands with an ounce of originality are an extremely rare commodity these days, with most having opted to pre-package themselves as the new U2, Oasis or Coldplay over the last couple of decades. So, when a young band like Dublin's The Immediate come along it blows a hurricane-force breath of fresh air right across the music world. And this hotly-tipped outfit make a welcome return to the province on Thursday, at Belfast's Black Box, to promote their stunning debut album, In Towers And Clouds, which was released last month. Ulster music fans were lucky enough to catch their scintillating show at this…

The rise of skinny-tied guitar bands such as Franz Ferdinand and the Kaiser Chiefs has fuelled the popularity of the instrument, with UK sales at an all-time high. Figures released yesterday show that musicians spent £110m on electric, bass and acoustic instruments last year. This was up from £102m in 2004. Sales may have also increased through the success of once little-known artists such as 19-year-old Paolo Nutini, who has been playing the guitar for just a few years and whose album has recently gone gold. Steve Macari, the owner of Macari's music shop on Charing Cross Road in London, which provides guitars for bands such as Coldplay, Snow Patrol, Oasis and Prima…

The Miniatures is perhaps the best band to ever come out of Waterloo Region. So it's no stretch to also view their most recent release, Dead Flowers, as one of the best CDs of 2006. The magic of Dead Flowers is its originality - a CD with absolutely no filler. In fact, none of the 11 tracks are there to simply fill up the space around the singles. "We really set out to make a complete CD," said singer/guitarist Ian Smith during a telephone interview on his way back from Montreal where the band opened for Sam Roberts. The band performs tonight at Cambridge Fall Fair. Dead Flowers has a definite British feel - a sound somewhere between early Elvis Costello an…

Bands will be able to set their own prices when store opens in fall Here's the thing about being the king of the mountain: It offers a great view for a while, but any time you look down, there's bound to be someone coming to try to knock you down. Just ask Tom Cruise. Or Apple. The computer company, which has been the digital-music king for more than five years thanks to its iPods and market-leading iTunes store, will face what could be its biggest competition yet later this year when MySpace launches its own download service. The #1 social-networking site, which claims more than 100 million registered members, announced Friday that it would begin selling downloa…

Bertelsmann AG is getting closer to sealing a deal to sell its music publishing business, saying Thursday (Aug. 3) it expects to have a short list of potential suitors by month's end. Last month, the German media giant narrowed the bidders for its BMG Music Publishing division for its BMG Music Publishing division to 15.

In addition to private equity groups, the bidders are expected to include such music firms as Vivendi's Universal Music Group, EMI Group and the Warner Music Group. BMG Music Publishing is the world's third-largest music publisher. It generated €370 mil…

.......The Herd that is. Awesome group with biting lyrics and head bobbing grooves and beats. Took me awhile to get their CD the sun never sets, but it was well worth it. Went to their concert again and it really made me realise i need this CD!! also talked to one of the MCs who was really down to earth and spoke excellent spanish! Music like this and True Live gives me hope that Hip Hop is not just about booty and bling. bit about them The Herd’s reputation as a fiery and electrifying live group only grew in 2006, with high profile spots on festivals, and sold out shows at Sydney’s Metro Theatre and Gaelic Club; The Corner in Melbourne and venues across …

So she was not too surprised when a member of the Air France cabin crew gently woke her as she flew home First Class from a business trip to Mauritius. The co-pilot was retiring. This was his last ever flight. Would Bonnie make the occasion extra…

He has also changed pictures of her on the CD sleeve to show the US socialite topless and with a dog's head. A spokeswoman for Banksy said he had doctored 500 copies of …
