A man arrested following a stabbing at a music awards at the Indigo2 has been bailed.

Greenwich CID have ordered the 21-year-old to return to a south London police station in January. It follows an incident at the Urban Music Awards at 10.10pm on Saturday night.

The cellist will be joined by violinist Chloe Hanslip, conductor Christopher Warren-Green and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra for "Phantom Phantasia".

Michael McIntyre has a problem. It will soon become a distant memory but, right now, he has a problem.
He just doesn’t look like a Michael McIntyre.

You say his name and people draw a blank – isn’t he the singer from Steely Dan? You see his picture and it's a different story.

Interview: Aimee Mann

aimee.jpg Maybe it’s hard to imagine, but sharp-edged singer-songwriter Aimee Mann is in a happy place. Not just physically (she’s speaking to The Wharf from her LA studio-cum-office “just hanging out”) but musically too.

She has just released a piece of work considered her strongest for years, and she’s midway through a tour that has seen the 48-year-old in her musical element, elevated by fans who know her songs better than she does.

In any one generation, there are only a handful of artists who, when they open their mouths and deliver that first note, are instantly recognisable. Often these voices may not be regarded as classically beautiful or pitch-perfect in tone but what they do possess is an unmistakable uniqueness.

When Macy Gray broke onto the scene back in 1999 with single I Try, she made a huge impression, joining an elite band whose members include Sinatra, Jagger, Bowie, Stewart and Springfield. There really was no mistaking that voice.

Neville brothers to play Indigo2

THREE decades after they officially formed, The Neville Brothers will be taking to the Indigo2 stage for what promises to be an overwhelming event.

Charles, Aaron, Art and Cyril, an institution who have made an enormous contribution to rhythm and blues music, will all be on stage to bring their authentic sound to the UK.

THERE was no holding back for Mick Hucknall as he brought his vocal talents to the IndigO2 last night.

The Simply Red singer showcased his "Tribute to Bobby Bland" album to an appreciative audience and they were not disappointed as Hucknall, in fine voice, ripped through Bland's back catalogue.

Rousing versions of "I Wouldn't Treat a Dog", "I Pity the Fool" and "Cry, Cry, Cry" had the audience on its feet well before the end of a rather short set.

THERE was something for everyone at the Indigo2 last night.

Sam Sparro and The Fratellis were heading the star-studded bill for the recorded ITV2 event. But it was opening act N.E.R.D that started the evening off with a bang.
