So Sam Smith IS recording the James Bond theme song for Spectre!

Have you heard the news? After several denials, it has finally been confirmed this morning that Sam Smith is doing the opening song for the forthcoming Bond film, Spectre!

What are you going to be doing on Tuesday 21st July 2015? We can categorically say we will wholeheartedly be celebrating National Junk Food Day! Yes, it's time to forget the cholesterol levels for one day and treat yourself to some of that naughty but nice junk food fodder.

Finally we are starting to see some proper summer weather in the UK and with it comes the start of festival season. Kicking off with the Radio 1 Big Weekend that took place in Norwich over the May Bank Holiday weekend, it's now full steam ahead for a succession of live music, DJs, art and performance to take you right through to autumn. So, having lived through those student festival-going years, we thought we'd have a little look at the best (but not necessarily the biggest) gatherings to be seen at this year. We might as well start with the...
