Duffy - Duffy Axed From Welsh Concert


Welsh singer DUFFY was once dropped from headlining a concert in her native Wales - because her lyrics were English.

The 24-year-old was scheduled to play at the Pwllheli arts festival when the Welsh Language Board complained.

Music promoter Paul Brett says, "On the day of the show, I had a nervous and somewhat embarrassed call to tell me that the board had insisted that Duffy was taken from the show because she was singing in English."

A spokesman for the Board says it has "no recollection" of the incident.

Mogwai Confirm New Album, EP and Tour!

The mighty Mogwai have announced details of a new album, EP and UK tour.


Their sixth studio album will go under the rather fetching moniker of ‘The Hawk Is Howling’ and will hit the shelves on September 22. It will be preceded by the three-track EP called ‘The Batcat’ on September 8.


The EP features quite possibly the best song title we’ve heard this side of the millennium: 'Stupid Prick Gets Chased By The Police And Loses His Slut Girlfriend.'


To support both releases, the Scottish outfit will be heading out on a three date UK tour, taking in the following venues:


Edinburgh Corn Exchange – October 21

Manchester Academy – 23

London Hammersmith Apollo – 24


Tickets cost £17.50 in Edinburgh and Manchester and £20 in London and are available through Gigwise from  9am on June 2.

Hatcher Snubbed By Emmys

Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher has been snubbed by the Emmy Awards - with three of her castmates competing for the Best Comedy Actress Award without her. Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman and Eva Longoria Parker have all been shortlisted for the prestigious prize at this year's TV awards - but Hatcher's name was noticeably missing from the semi-finalists. Website GoldDerby.com reveals that the other actresses vying to take home the award include America Ferrera, Tina Fey, Christina Applegate, Mary-Louise Parker, Sarah Silverman, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Pushing Daisies star Anna Friel. Also announced were the top ten stars who will compete in the Best Supporting Drama Actor category. Last year's winner Lost star Terry O'Quinn was missing from the list, which was led by his castmates Naveen Andrews and Michael Emerson. Other actors to be shortlisted include William Shatner, Ted Danson and T.R. Knight. Also competing in the category are Christian Clemenson, Bruce Dern, Zeljko Ivanek, John Slattery, Blair Underwood and Jake Weber. The awards will be handed out on 21 September .
