The Saturdays Thursday 18 September 2014 The Saturdays are taking their Greatest Hits album on tour around the country this September. Bucking the trend by releasing the collection whilst at the height of their career, fans can look forward to finally getting all the hits on one album. This is far from a farewell and more of a celebration with the band planning to return to the studio later on in the year to start recording their fifth studio album. Featuring over thirteen Top Ten singles, the ‘Greatest Hits’ is a celebration of a successful and enduring pop career the band have enjoyed since they first debuted in 2008 with ‘If This Is Love’. The album will include three brand new tracks alongside fan favourites such as ‘Higher’, ‘All Fired Up’, ‘Ego’, ‘Up’ and the chart topping ‘What About Us’. Having now sold over five million records, with four top ten albums, The Saturdays continue to be a whirlwind force in the world of pop which shows no sign of slowing.

James Taylor Thursday 2 October 2014 James Taylor’s music embodies the art of songwriting in its most personal and universal forms. He is a master at describing specific, even autobiographical situations in a way that resonates with people everywhere. For more than forty years Taylor has been a compass for his fans, articulating moments of pain and joy, and letting his listeners know that they are not alone. As a recording and touring artist, Taylor has set a precedent to which countless young musicians have aspired. His warm baritone is among the most recognized voices in popular music and his distinctive style of guitarplaying has been enormously influential. He has sold over 100 million albums throughout his career, beginning in 1968 when he was signed to The Beatles’ Apple Records. His first Greatest Hits album earned the Recording Industry Association of America’s elite Diamond Award, given for sales in excess of 10 million units in the United States. See the legend that is James Taylor live in October.

John Legend Thursday 9 October 2014 His soulful tones have dominated the airwaves lately with his hit single ‘All Of Me’, which has seen sales of over 500,000 in the UK and is spending its ninth week in the Top 10. It’s also sold a staggering 3 million in the US. Now, John Legend has announced a series of UK shows. John’s Gold-certified fourth album ‘Love in the Future’ has stormed the UK and sold over half a million copies, as well as being nominated for a Grammy this year for Best R’n’B Album. Its lead single ‘All Of Me’ also scored him his first ever US number one single. John has always been known for his heartfelt songwriting and beautiful use of melody, and ‘Love In The Future’ was no exception. It also saw him explore new musical territory by working with the likes of Rick Ross, Kimbra and Seal, and cemented his position as one of today’s most intriguing and talented musicians.

Caro Emerald Sunday 12 October 2014 With more than 2.5 million record sales, 15 platinum discs, 32 million YouTube views, a host of awards (including an Echo, Goldene Kamera, Edison Award, EBBA & MTV Music Award), a string of sold out tours and, of course, the thrill of seeing ‘The Shocking Miss Emerald’ enter the UK charts at number 1 it is fair to say that Caro Emerald is having a pretty good time. Released throughout Europe ‘The Shocking Miss Emerald’, Caro’s second studio album, continued the musical theme set by her debut album ‘Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor’. Her retro-pop sound is a “fun mix of vintage jazz, beats and pop” that is rooted in the past yet thoroughly modern with its samples, scratching and beats blending with the rhythms and style of yesteryear. That signature sound has proven to be a winning formula and ‘The Shocking Miss Emerald’ entered both the UK and Dutch charts at number 1.
