March 26, 2008 by Dave Parrack
The Sex Pistols are set to play a one-off gig at the tiny Birmingham Academy in preparation for their headline slot at the Isle Of Wight Festival in June.
The festival is set to be staged on the Isle Of Wight between June 13th and 15th with the vintage punk rockers closing the second night of proceedings.
The warm up gig will take place two days earlier, on the 11th June. It will be the first time that The Sex Pistols have played Birmingham in 32 years.
Britney Spears Put On Fake British Accent For Doctors During Hospital Sanity Test
January 11, 2008 by Dave Parrack
Britney Spears troubles continued last week as she was taken in to a mental hospital for sanity tests after allegedly kidnapping her two boys.
What’s this got to do with British music you may be asking yourself? Well, nothing much except for the fact that Britney is currently seeing a British guy, and bizarrely decided to use his accent when talking to her doctors.
For those of you who have never visited these shores, then you may not know about the Midlands town of Birmingham, or the strange creatures who inhabit the place, which we call Brummies.
They are a weird breed of humans, and although British, their accent really sets them apart from the rest of the UK. It displays none of the delightful tone that the Geordies treat us too, and none of the wild, rough overtone which the Scottish let rip on our ears. Instead it’s a strange concoction of farmer, mixed with American redneck.
I was already surprised to see Britney having a boyfriend from Birmingham, but to then find out she tried to imitate his accent to prove to doctors she is perfectly sane, is well, beyond my understanding of anything.
