Young London: Into Music - a new urban youth festival aimed at developing the next generation of talent in east London - was announced today. A series of five individual events – produced and delivered in the five Olympic and Paralympic Host Boroughs of Greenwich, Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest – takes place between 26th June and 2nd August 2009.
Each event will showcase some of the boroughs rising stars, alongside the hottest names in grime, dance, dubstep and indie. So far artists such as Bashy, Ms Dynamite, Roachford, Leon Jean Marie, Double S, Ghetts and MOBO award winning Akala have been confirmed as performing artists.




Grant Bovey has become the second celebrity sacked from the new series of Hell's Kitchen. The 48-year-old, husband of former Blue Peter presenter Anthea Turner, was given the boot by Marco Pierre White for failing to contribute to his team's effort to create a sauce to accompany meat or fish.









GET ready for Girl Power Weekend at Mayhem, Southend, with Peaches Geldof and Caprice taking control of the decks, plus a live performance from Ms Dynamite.
The double Brit Award and three time Mobo winning singer, 27, is best known for her hit singles It Takes More and Dy-na-mi-tee. She is releasing a new album later this year, with the first single called Bad Gyal.
