right said fred

Right Said Fred are back with a flurry of activity, announcing the release of a new single and album both entitled Stop The World, as well as a UK tour and Live DVD.

The brothers Richard and Fred Fairbrass are also popping up all over the place on TV this month having featured on both ITV’s Daybreak and Vanessa Feltz tv show. They will also be making an appearance on this Thursday’s edition of Celebrity Juice.

The band who back in 1992 were the first act since the Beatles to reach No.1 in the USA with a debut single, have decided to take a break from their usual European stadium circuit in order to get back to their roots and connect with their fans on a more intimate basis.

To this end the brothers will be enjoying a Q & A with their audience as well as performing some of their greatest hits, and some newer, more poignant, lovelorn ditties (firmly allaying themselves with English bedfellows like Madness and the Kinks), on the following dates:

April 25th Birmingham O2 Academy3

April 27th London Islington O2 Academy2

April 28th Sheffield O2 Academy2

April 29th Liverpool Guild Of Students, Stanley Theatre

April 30th York Fibbers

May 6th Stockton On Tees The Arc

May 7th Cleethorpes Pleasure Island

May 13th  Huddersfield The Warehouse

May 14th Hull The Piper Club

The boys will be releasing a new DVD and album (both distributed by Universal) as part of a double-pack on April 11th 2011. The DVD, Night Of The Living Fred (An Evening With Right Said Fred), was recently filmed before a packed audience at the Leicester Square Theatre and features the Freds letting their hair down and spilling the beans on sibling rivalry, debauchery at the home of one of the world’s greatest porn-stars and what really happened to that Toblerone bar in the American Hotel in Amsterdam.

The new album Stop The World features twelve new tracks including Stop The World, Trouble With Love, Julianne, Waiting For A Train, Two White Boys, Obvious, Happily Ever After, I Ain’t Your Guy, Feels Like Love, We’re All Criminals, Come Dancing, Raining In England.

Check out the Right Said Fred website to obtain a free copy of Stop The World as well as access to exclusive copies of the Night Of The Living Fred DVD.

Subscribers to the website will be able to enter into a uniquely interactive relationship with Richard and Fred themselves, a process that involves genuine meet and greets as well as exclusive access to the brother’s exclusive photo archive. Richard comments: “We love being connected with our fans and this new website will bring that connection even closer. We plan to use the site to become even more intimately involved than we are at present, both of us will be online and directly in contact with our audience.” Fred adds: “The thing that this enables us to do is keep in touch with fans wherever they are and wherever we are in the world, all the time. We are lucky to be able to perform all over the world, but we can only be in one country at a time. Now we can do a show in Germany and share the experience with the USA, Japan and back home…it’s really exciting.”

The new album Stop The World and DVD Night of the Living Fred are available now, while the single is set for release om May 9th.

Deanne Berry, the Sydney born dance and fitness queen who inspired GMTV audiences this summer with her sensational bikini diet workout routines with Mr Motivator, returns to the dance fitness arena with the DVD release of Clubland – Workout of Your Life!

Following on from last year’s smash hit fitness DVD Clubland – Work It Out, the new release features 21 heart-pumping tracks which, when combined with Deanne’s sensational choreography, will be sure to get you in the mood for fitness.

Deanne, who first shot to fame in the video for Swedish DJ Eric Prydz’s Call On Me and has worked with the likes of Kylie Minogue and Basement Jaxx, has carved quite a reputation for dance fitness in the UK following the huge success of Clubland – Work It Out, which took the DVD fitness market by storm last year.

Clubland – Workout of Your Life! combines killer moves with 21 of the hottest dance anthems around to create the ultimate high energy workout. Deanne has split the workout into 6 sections:

• Warm – Work It Up
• Cardio – Aerobic Floor Fillers
• Dance – Ultra Dance Beat
• Boxing – Clubland Combat
• Muscle Toning – Total Tone
• Cool Down – Cool it Off

The DVD is packed with extras, including an interview with Deanne that will feature ‘behind the scenes’ footage along with comments from the woman herself on the workout.  There will also be two special dance sections that feature one of the routines from the DVD, but with all the lights down to create a special ‘silhouette’ segment.

The DVD features the nation’s biggest chart smashes and club hits, including tracks by Agnes, Sugababes and The Saturdays and no less than five UK number 1s:  Lady Gaga’s Just Dance,  Pixie Lott’s Mama Do,  Black Eyed Peas’ Gotta Feelin’,  Cascada’s Evacuate The Dancefloor and Tinchy Stryder’s Never Leave You.

Against a backdrop of these dancefloor fillers, Deanne demonstrates easy-to-follow routines that between them will culminate into a hot dance workout routine, providing inspiration to burn those calories and tone that body.

Deanne Berry says: “An hour’s dancing can help shift hundreds of calories and is great aerobic exercise and fun at the same time.  With Clubland – Workout of Your Life! you not only get a fantastic soundtrack but also motivation to burn those carbs, tone that bod and dance your way to fitness in the privacy of your own home – and learn a few hot dance moves in the process.”

Following the success of his breakthrough album, We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things which has sold over 3 million copies and yielded three Grammy nominations, Jason Mraz will be releasing his next album Beautiful Mess – Live On Earth on November 16th on Atlantic Records.

Beautiful Mess – Live On Earth is a sublime 16 track Live CD recorded on Mraz’s Gratitude Café Tour at Charter One Pavilion in Chicago, August 13th.

Beautiful Mess boasts a rich and eclectic repertoire from the international smash-hit album We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things, which charted at No.8 in the UK and is rapidly approaching platinum status.

It features I’m Yours, which recently made chart history as the longest-running song on the Billboard ‘Hot 100’ in the US and has incredibly sold over 9 million singles and ringtones worldwide, including over 300,000 singles in the UK.

Special guest Colbie Caillat joins Mraz onstage for a dazzling performance of their endearing duet Lucky. He also performs a rousing cover of Lionel Richie’s All Night Long.

Accompanying the CD is the live DVD of the show including never seen before bonus footage and more special guests.

Jason Mraz’s touring exploits show no end of slowing down as we move into the New Year. He kicked off his mammoth world tour back in April with sold out shows at Manchester Academy and Hammersmith Apollo. After which he visited the U.S., Europe and Asia.

He is currently playing a series of dates in South America, which includes a festival performance at the About Us Festival in Sao Paolo with Sting. It’s the first and foremost ‘green’ festival in the world.

Beautiful Mess – Live On Earth is released on November 16th. For more information visit the Jason Mraz website.

A companion piece to the recent Supergrass album ‘Diamond Hoo Ha’, ‘Glange Fever’ was premiered at the band’s album launch party earlier this year, and finally makes it to DVD after much demand from the Supergrass fanbase. A 5-minute trailer was posted on YouTube and has now recieved over 100k views (including one Thom Yorke who posted the link on Radiohead’s website).

The DVD contains the full 30 minute documentary PLUS over 1 hour of outtakes and extras (including 9 live tracks and the promo video for Diamond Hoo Ha Man).

To pre-order the DVD

The show was put together by ‘Little’ Jimmy Osmond as was the DVD, boy hasn’t he grown?

All seven of the Osmonds perform on stage for the first time in 25 years, performing hits such as Love Me For A Reason and Crazy Horses, but Jimmy says that it is likely to be the last time that they play together in the UK, “The truth is, all of us on stage, This is our moment.”

If you missed tickets for the shows, here is a glimpse of The Osmonds circa 2008.
