Several festival sites lay claim to possessing the most beautiful locations – The Secret Garden, Skye, Oban and Dunstaffage, and of course the ley-lined stone circled Glastonbury greenfelds – but Rockness, especially on a day as cloud free and ideally tempered as last Saturday, would give any of these a run for their money as its valley gently lopes towards the lapping edges of Loch Ness with all its promise of myth and monster.

Jan 9, 2008 Author: martinwarn | Filed under: T in the park

From its beginnings at Strathclyde Country Park in 1994 to the triumphant Tenth Year celebrations at Balado in 2003, T in the Park has grown in size and influence to become one of the most important and critically acclaimed music events on the UK and European festival scenes, and is firmly established as Scotland’s most popular weekend out.

Now attracting over 55,000 music fans from Scotland, the UK, and beyond each day, T in the Park is consistently a sell out success. This popularity can be attributed to the festival’s unique atmosphere, legendary crowd, and one of the most exciting line-ups in Europe – with over 120 artists over 2 days and across 8 stages, from the finest homegrown talent to major international artists such as REM, Oasis, Foo Fighters and Radiohead.

Britney Spears loses custody of her children to k Fed

Jan 5, 2008 Author: martinwarn | Filed under: Britney Spears

britney.jpgBritney Spears was apparently spending a second day in a hospital Saturday, the result of a bizarre standoff that brought police to her house and led a judge to award ex-husband Kevin Federline custody of their two sons.

A court commissioner on Friday gave Federline sole physical and legal custody of 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James, and suspended Spears’ visitation rights.

Commissioner Scott Gordon’s ruling came a day after Spears was hauled away from her home by paramedics after police had to intervene when she refused to return the children to Federline after a court-monitored visit.

Britney Spears has been barred from seeing her children after she was admitted to hospital under the influence of an “unknown substance” following a custody dispute.

Odds on Dalglish succeeding Steve Staunton in the Ireland hotseat were cut from 28/1 to 2/1 favourite by one firm on Wednesday, while another suspended betting altogether on the four-time English league winning manager.

Terry Venables and Liam Brady are still regarded as the front-runners, although talk of fan unrest at Wolves means the prospect of a second stint in charge for Mick McCarthy is an intriguing possibility.
