CSS, Tinie Tempah, The Vaccines, Biffy Clyro, The LA’s, The Wombats, Seasick Steve & French pop band Sexy Sushi are among the many other artists I am looking forward to seeing. CSS are best known for their hit single ‘Let’s Make Love & Dance To Death From Above’ (Death From Above 1979 are also on the bill) while festival favourites The Vaccines, Biffy Clyro & The Wombats will play their lively, high-octane pop songs and no doubt get the crowds going.

I recently saw Tinie Tempah put on a great show at the Wireless Festival in London and I am also looking forward to seeing old timers Big Audio Dynamite and The LA’s for a big dose of nostalgia.

Gavin Sharp, CEO of Band on the Wall, said: “Ticketwall New Music Competition is a great opportunity for an up and coming act to begin their journey to become a professional artist. The chance to perform at Band on the Wall is one that I am sure will excite many aspiring musicians. We are really looking forward to hearing all the great music that will be sent in and encourage as many acts as possible to take part.”

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.”
